I’m using CExtResizablePropertySheet in my application, but the button and the title stay in the standard style.

Is there a solution, a function to override or anything else to do for having the same color in all the CExtResizableProperySheet ?

2.85 would require a lot of changes and improvements for that. It would finally become 2.88 after these improvements but 2.88 is already available.

A themed tab common control (CExtThemedTabCtrl) inside a resizable property sheet is supported in Prof-UIS 2.88.

Hi to All,



I use a MDI Doc/View application. Now I want to have the feature to create a "new horizontal/vertical tab group", like it can be done in VS 2003/2005/2008 or 2010. This means, when I have more than 1 doc open, I want to have 2 or more areas for viewing.



In other words, using the ProfStudio sample, i want to split the "ProfStudio child window". I need to have different views for different documents.



Can You show me, how to do?



TIA

We sent you an e-mail with FTP download information.

Sound fine, tnx

I have tested now VC 2010 and have seen, that the requested feature is allready realized here. So I have two choices: 1) switch all my software to VC 2010 or 2) wait, till you have realized the feature. I would prefere solution 2), caused I have seen, I have to do a lot of modifications for VC 2010. In the first step your 2.88 seems to work at VC 2010, but not full tested, olny a short look.

My eMail for the pre-release of 2.89 is W.Falkner@falcon.de

TIA

You can drop us an e-mail so we will provide you with the Prof-UIS 2.89 pre-release version which supports two Visual Studio 2010 related features: full Visual Studio 2010 support and Visual Studio 2010 UI theme.

To say more correctly and more exact, the problem is not directly in the document/view architecture. The problem is in the standard MDI interface. The MDI client area window works like mini desktop for the MDI child frame windows. The splitter window with the tabbed containers inside is an absolutely different compound UI element. The only way to make the splitter with the tabbed group working with the standard MDI interface is to use some trick like this one:

1) Create the splitter window with the tabbed groups and place it over the MDI client area window.

2) Let the MDI client area window to be happy. Let it to think it’s occupying the central part of the main frame window. Indeed, it’s always will be covered by the splitter window with the tabbed containers.

3) Let the MDI client area window to be even more happy. It will contain MDI child frame windows inside it. It will manage its MDI child windows as it does this usually. The MFC frame work will not come across with anything unusually surprising.

4) Change the parent window of each view window. The original parent is the MDI child frame window. The desired parent is some tab page container window created as splitter pane.

This looks like should be compatible with any MFC classic toys. But, of course, this is just a theory. We need to try to implement it and debug everything supposed.

As VC 2010 is released, I think you will very soon release your 2.90. right?

I’m happy to hear, that you will implement this usefull feature, but 99% of my code depend on the Doc/View architecture. Do you think, it is possible to extend it to Doc/View?

TIA

Willi

Some other word, I have to be say: I use now Prof-Uis for about 5 years in my products. You guys to a pretty ans phantastic work. And, from no other company I get this fast answering and competential support. Thank you!!!

Yes, 2.90 we think. We have the CExtTabPageContainerWnd class and it implements a tabbed window group like we need. We have the CExtSplitterWnd class and it implements a splitter window group like we need. Using the combination of splitter and tabbed containers will give us what your are looking for. But we should implement drag-n-dropping, context menus and state persistence features for such compound control. We also need to integrate this compound window container with Prof-UIS dynamic control bars demonstrated in the <span class="newgreen">SDI_DynamicBars</code> and <span class="newgreen">MDI_DynamicBars</code> sample applications. Please also note, this control will not support the MDI interface and MFC’s document/view architecture. This compound control is the coded from scratch UI solution which replaces the MDI interface - not extends it.

What does DO-TO mean? 2.90? or later?

Or may be Ypu can give me some hints to implement this feature?

TIA

Hello,

we are a small firm located in Italy and have been using MFC for 2 years now.

We design software for industrial process control.

We have focused our attention on the Prof-uis framework for our next programs and would like to ask the forum a couple of things:

1) Are there any classes to plot data?

We need to plot data coming from the plant. The plot is: data versus time. The plot scrolls from right to left.

2) Are there any classes to draw dials or other industrial widgets?

Our users need to input the temperature Set Point of the plant.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Enrico

Hi,

I create a dialog that contain a grid that contain a FontFaceName Combo box.

When I call my dialog in the main thread, all is working correctly.

But when I call my dialog.domodal() from a thread, the dialog displays correctly, the fonts are well displayed and the combo scrolls well when I use the mouse wheel. but the application crashes when I try to clic on the scrollbar of the CExtGridCellFontFaceName control?

it crashes at the line 1706 in the ExtScrollWnd.cpp
bool bAnimationLocked = AnimationClient_CacheGeneratorIsLocked();

and the "this" pointer said that hwnd is not good 0xfeeefeee?

Thank you

Hi,

It’s not a multi threading problem, I am not accessing controls from thread, I have a thread that run a dialog.

I made some debugging, the problem occurs in the ExtScrollwnd.cpp

Line 1703 : if( ! m_bPopupInactiveLightMode )
Line 1704 :         ActivateTopParent();

before the call to ActivateTopParent, the m_hWnd of the scrollbar is OK, and after the m_hWnd is no more good.

It seems that the ActivateTopParent is modifiying this hwnd.

This happens because the main application is not the parent of my dialog ...

Any Idea?

Thank you

Please use Prof-UIS classes implementing any UI controls within the main UI thread only. We mean buttons, grids, control bars, combo boxes, dialogs, property sheets and everything else.

Hello,



Using Prof-UIS v2.81, I could stretch my application window over multiple monitors (application size exceeds the screen resolution). After migrating to 2.85, I can no longer extend my application beyond the size of one screen.

For example, if i have two screens with a resolution of 1600x1200, and a total desktop size of 3200x1200, I cannot set the width of my window over 1600 px.

I also have the same problem with the sample app MDIDOCVIEW after rebuilding it, for example.



Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I have a grid with filters applied. Because I want to update all the data (since they are updated in real-time) in my grid (including the hidden rows), I want to reload all the data in the grid without filters and then re-apply my filters. Is there a method to keep the filter information and then apply it in the grid.

Thanks  

Hi thanks for the reply.

I am still new to the Prof UI world. Could you provide me with an example of how to use this method?

Thank you again

You can serialize all filtering rules for all columns by using the CExtGridWnd::FilterStateForOuterRowSerialize() method, which re-filters the grid control after re-loading all filtering rules.

Hi,

I have a grid with filters. When I apply the filter and modify a row with a pop up window: the cell is updated keeping the filter applied. 

However the data in the grid can be modified by a third party, and I would like that their modification be reflected in my grid in the hidden rows too. How do I access those hidden rows/cells to update the data?

Thanks

Hello,

I derived a grid class from CExtGridWnd and show it in a dialog. Now I want to send it to a PrintJob so I chnged its base class to CExtPPVW < CExtGridWnd >.

Now what do I have to do to get the grid printed by the PrintJob?

I checked the FilteredGrid, PropertyGrid and FormulaGrid samples but they don’t give a clue. I noticed that ProfUIS_Controls sapmle crashes when I try to open the print-preview of the grid.

Regards,

Bart.

The ID_FILE_PRINT command makes the CExtPPVW < CExtGridWnd > grid control print its content to the current printer. The CExtPPVW template class also supports the ID_FILE_PRINT_PREVIEW command which makes the grid control display the preview window. But the CExtPPVW is not designed to provide the painting feature for some custom device context. Besides the grid data can be enough large to fit the maximum bitmap size available in GDI. If your grid control contains only a few rows and columns, then you can send the WM_PRINT message to the CExtGridWnd window to capture its surface.
Additionally, the CExtPPVW template class generates one EMF metafile for each printed/previewed page. These metafiles are stored in the temporarily folder. It’s possible to intercept the metafile generation process and collect a collection of metafiles. Is that what you may need?

The crash was my fault. But still nothig of  the grig gets printed to my PrintJob after sending the message. 

Sending these messages makes my application crash. And I want the grid to be printed to an existing PrintJob, so how can I send it to that particular job?

We suspect you may have implemented some virtual methods like OnCmdMsg() and, in these methods you may have invoked the CExtGridWnd::OnCmdMsg() parent class methods instead of CExtPPVW < CExtGridWnd > :: OnCmdMsg(). That may be the cause of what you have encountered.

No I did not implement OnCmdMsg(). Now, how would the grid know that I want to print it to my onw DC by just sending the ID_FILE_PRINT message to it?

Hello,

I have CExtGridWnd placed in CExtResizableDialog and I add anchors to CExtGridWnd control to fit all dialog window.My grid has a fixed number of columns.

I need to make total width of columns equal to width of grid control and automatically resize columns when dialog window size is changed.

E.g. user could not have horizontal scroll bar in grid and could not see any free area at the right side of the grid.

Can you propose some simple way to implement such behaviour of CExtGridWnd control?

Thank you! It’s work fine.

Hi. I have a question about CExtGridCell.

I want to use text in GridCell.

The Text is not string,

Perhaps, The Text is drawn by TextOut or DrawText.

I want to draw picture of simbol of text.

Or, The simbol of  text is similler like Charcter map of Windows

How to use? I want exam or sample code.

Is it possible to change the text color in a CExtMsgBox ?

 I Want to check a state of  checkbox item in the CExtTreeCtrl,

so I add a  NM_CLICK notification handling function and run program.

When i click checkbox, but the HitTest(pt,&uFlags) returns TVHT_ONITEMRIGHT

So i changed CExtTreeCtrl to CTreeCtrl and run.

When i click checkbox, the HitTest(pt,&uFlags) returns TVHT_ONITEMSTATEICON  correctly

What’s the problem?

BOOL CTestDlg::OnInitDialog()

{

 CDialog::OnInitDialog();

 HTREEITEM root = m_tree.InsertItem("D", NULL, NULL);

 HTREEITEM item = m_tree.InsertItem("1", root, NULL);

 m_tree.TreeItemInfoGet( item ).m_eCheckBoxType = CExtTreeCtrl::e_cbt_check_box;

 m_tree.InsertItem("2", root, NULL);

  return TRUE;  // return TRUE  unless you set the focus to a control

}

 void CTestDlg::OnClickTree1(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)

{

   UINT uFlags;

   //HTREEITEM hClickedItem = m_ItemTree.HitTest(pt, &uFlags);

  

   DWORD pos = GetMessagePos();

   CPoint pt(LOWORD(pos), HIWORD(pos));

   m_tree.ScreenToClient(&pt);

  

  HTREEITEM hClickedItem = m_tree.HitTest(pt,&uFlags);

 if( hClickedItem != NULL && (uFlags & TVHT_ONITEMSTATEICON)!= 0 )

 {

}

 *pResult = 0;

}

 I want to use CExtTreeCtrl Class in Working Thread. 

 but i can’t !

for example when i’m going to change treeitem color in worktread, i must use this  function (  "TreeItemInfoGet( hitem ).m_clrTextNormal = color" )

but program is crashed because ot the ASSERT_VALID(this).

Is  It Impossible to use CExtTreeCtrl in workthread?

please let me know. thanks

 CExtTreeCtrl::TREEITEMINFO_t * CExtTreeCtrl::TreeItemInfoGetPtr( HTREEITEM hti )

{

 ASSERT_VALID( this );

 if( hti == NULL )

 {

  ASSERT( false );

  ::AfxThrowUserException();

 }

TREEITEMINFO_t * pTII = NULL;

 if( ! m_mapItemInfo.Lookup( hti, pTII ) )

  return NULL;

 ASSERT( pTII != NULL );

 return pTII;

}

I use a CExtTreeGridWnd and I want when a child Item is too smal to resize it automaticaly. I try with the function BestFitRow but nothing change.

How to ? thanks

The grid controls do not resize the rows/columns automatically during initialization. You should invoke the CExtGridWnd::BestFitRow() method after initializing all the row cells.

thanks with all reply I find the solution for my problem

Ok but the option wrap text works only for text on two lines ? In my application the text is a file’s path.

Is it possible to have a text on more than two lines ?

thanks

ok I find the solution for the wrap text problem

The variable row height feature requires two things:

1) The __EGBS_FIXED_SIZE_ROWS grid style must be absent.

2) The grid control should contain one outer header column on left and the CExtGridCellHeader grid cells should be instantiated in it. These header cells keep information about row heights. If you don’t need to see any outer header columns in your tree grid, then you can make the header column zero width using the CExtGridWnd::OuterColumnWidthSet() method.

Dear ProfUIS-Team,

is there an easy way to expand the combobox "Choose commands from:" within the Ribbonbar’s QATB setup options page by a ’File’ entry for the commands that can be found under the file button (e.g. "New", "Open", "Save" ...)? Currently these commands can only be found under the "All commands" item.

Best regards,

Martin

We hope very much that each newer version is better than any older. If you have no restrictions in switching into the newer version, then please drop us an e-mail to the support mail box so we will provide you with the source code update. If you cannot switch to the newer version, then we will try to mix the required feature with 2.87 for you.

The Choose commands from: combo box contains the Application button combo box item in Prof-UIS 2.88.

BOOL CPageListCtrl::OnInitDialog()

{

....

INT nColumnCount = 5, nColumnIndex;

 for( nColumnIndex = 0; nColumnIndex < nColumnCount; nColumnIndex ++ )

 {

  CExtSafeString strColumnCaptionText;

//  strColumnCaptionText.Format( _T("Column %02d"), nColumnIndex );

     strColumnCaptionText.Format( _T("%d"), nColumnIndex );

  m_wndList.InsertColumn( nColumnIndex, strColumnCaptionText, LVCFMT_LEFT, 150 );

 }

....

}

 i changed the code above and complie in WIN32 MBCS Mode and run.

 then the program is crashed when i click ListView Button

 but in VC 7.1, there is no problem.

Hello,

I inserted a CExtGridCellSlider in a CExtGridWnd. When this cell is not editing it shows a value in stead of the slider. Can I make this cell show the slider always?

Kind regards,

Hello there,

it is a simple question i need to buy a Prof-UIS One User License with 90 Days Technical

does that mean that i can’t use it after 90 days or just i can’t benefit from the technical services?

thanks...

 first all i’m sorry i’m not good at english.

 i have a problem using  CExtTabMdiWhidbeyWnd .

 when i created child view in UI Thread, no ploblem

 but when i created child view in Multi Thread, it occur problem.

attach homepage address including screen captrue jpg file.

i can’t find the reason why this problem occur.

Please try implementing the following in your multithreaded project:

- If the worker thread changes the MDI child frame widow title or its document title, then it should send some (WM_USER+123) message to the main frame window.

- The main frame window should handle the (WM_USER+123) message. The message handler should invoke the CExtTabWnd::UpdateTabWnd() method of the Whidbey MDI tabs control.

We believe this solution will provide the MDI tab items with the correct size and layout.

 Thank for your answer.

 I Watch out the OnTabWndQueryItemText() Function. But Thereis no differencem, pActiveDoc->GetTitle() returns same value.

So I follow the function step by step...

i found the difference in " void CExtTabWhidbeyWnd::stat_OnTabWndDrawItemWhidbeyImpl()" Function.

The  rcEntireItem Parameter Value is different.

rcEntireItem value In UI Thread  Is  " {top=6 bottom=21 left=13 right=126} "

rcEntireItem value In WorkThread  Is  "   {top=3 bottom=20 left=1 right=25}"

The rcEntireItem Recr’s width is 5. So it is not enough to short drawing The Document Title Text In WorkThread.

The CExtTMWI::OnTabWndQueryItemText() virtual method provides MDI tab items with text strings. It can use the CDocument::GetTitle() API in the single threaded version of your application. It can use the CWnd::GetText() API in the multithreaded version of your application. It’s possible the document title and MDI child frame window text is different. You can setup breakpoint into the CExtTMWI::OnTabWndQueryItemText() method and debug it in both versions of your application to see the difference.
