Dear



I have downloaded the trial version of Prof-Uis, and tried to use it but i didn’t find any of the ribbon contrrols at the toolbox. can’t i drag and drop ribbon controls to my dialog?!!



Allow me to ask another question; i tried to use a lib i have created in a ribbon project created by Prof-Uis, but there were always linking errors. (The dialog class that contains ribbon) doesn’t understand the lib. what is the problem?? How can i solve these linking errors?!





Expecting your answers

Thanks

Dear Support,

I have a CExtPopupMenuWnd that consists of a menu caption and 0-5 menu items. The problem arises when the horizontal extent of the menu caption exceeds the extent of the widest menu item. In this case, the menu caption is truncated. Is there some way to adjust the width of the CExtPopupMenuWnd object such that the entire menu caption is always visible?

Gil

Support,

Will this change be encorporated in future versions, or will I need to make this change every time I upgrade to the latest version of Prof-uis.

Thanks,

Gil

Yes, of course this improvement is part of nearest and all the future Prof-UIS versions.

Here is the code. I will send the image in a separate email.

 

In initialize routine:

 

//!Create the context menu shown when user right-clicks on a teachpoint.

HMENU oMenu;

 

m_contextMenu.Attach(oMenu);

if((oMenu = LoadMenu(GlobalInstance,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_menuTpContextMenu)))!=NULL)

 

Used when left click is detected:

void

{

 

VR3dRobot::ShowContextMenu(const CPoint& point, int tpId)CExtPopupMenuWnd* pPopup =

new CExtPopupMenuWnd;this->m_hWnd, &m_contextMenu, true, true, true);//!Get the current user selections for red and blue TPs.

string strTpRed = m_pDiags->GetSelTpRed();

string strTpBlue = m_pDiags->GetSelTpBlue();

 

//!Get the TP that the user clicked on. We store these two TPs

 

//!in member variables because the command handlers for this

 

//!context menu need this information.

VRTeachpointList& tpList = m_pDiags->GetTeachpointList();

m_tp1 = tpList.GetTeachpoint(strTpRed);

m_tp2 = tpList.GetTeachpoint(strTpBlue);

 

//!If the user is clicking on the blue TP.

VRTeachpoint tp = tpList.GetTeachpoint(tpId);

 

{

 

if (tp.GetName() == strTpBlue)//This is a bit of a kludge. Because the user is clicking

 

//on blue teachpoint, we want all commands to execute as if

 

//the blue teachpoint is the red teachpoint.

strTpRed = m_pDiags->GetSelTpBlue();

strTpBlue = m_pDiags->GetSelTpRed();

m_tp1 = tpList.GetTeachpoint(m_pDiags->GetSelTpBlue());

m_tp2 = tpList.GetTeachpoint(m_pDiags->GetSelTpRed());

}

 

//!Use the name of the red TP for the header of this context menu.

pPopup->MenuCaptionTextSet(strTpRed.c_str());

 

//!Put the name of the blue TP into the ’Transfer from’ and ’Transfer to’ commands.

Dear Support,

I have multiple text-only CExtComboBox controls on my interface. When the drop-down list is displayed, any text items with extents greater than the width of the control are truncated. Is there any way to allow the drop-down list to grow in width such that the entire item is displayed?

Gil

I have a custom class that inherits from CExtGridCellUpDown and have overridden the necessary functions. This custom class works correctly using ProfUIS 254. When I changed to ProfUIS 283, clicking the up/down spinner control arrows no longer trigger the OnValueIncrement()/OnValueDecrement() callbacks in my custom class. Can you please advise if this is a bug or if this code works differently in version 283? If this is not a bug, what do I need to change in my existing code to get this to work correctly with the new libraries?

Regards.

Most of grid cells use the decrement/increment enabled state checking methods provided by the CExtGridCell class:

bool CExtGridCell::OnQueryEnabledDecrement(
            const CExtGridWnd & wndGrid,
            LONG nColNo,
            LONG nRowNo,
            INT nColType,
            INT nRowType
            ) const

But the CExtGridCellVariant-based classes use the following version:

bool CExtGridCellVariant::OnQueryEnabledDecrement(
            LPCVARIANT pvarValue,
            const CExtGridWnd & wndGrid,
            LONG nColNo,
            LONG nRowNo,
            INT nColType,
            INT nRowType
            ) const

The previous reply is not clear. I already know which version is being used as the particular cells in this subject are derived from the CExtGridCellVariant class. The custom class definition is as follows:

class CMyGridCellUpDown : public CExtGridCellUpDown

{   

public:

    DECLARE_DYNCREATE( CMyGridCellUpDown );

    IMPLEMENT_ExtGridCell_Clone( CMyGridCellUpDown, CExtGridCellUpDown );

    CMyGridCellUpDown(

        CExtGridDataProvider * pDP = NULL

    );



    virtual bool OnQueryEnabledIncrement() const

    {

        // custom stuff

        return false;

    };

    virtual bool OnQueryEnabledDecrement() const

    {

        // custom stuff

        return false;

    };

    virtual bool OnValueDecrement()

    {

        // custom stuff

        return true;

    }

    virtual bool OnValueIncrement()

    {

        // custom stuff

        return true;

    }

    virtual void TextGet( CString &strCopy ) const

    {

        // custom stuff

    }

    virtual bool OnInplaceControlTextInputVerify(

        HWND hWndInplaceControl,

        CExtGridWnd & wndGrid,

        LONG nVisibleColNo,

        LONG nVisibleRowNo,

        LONG nColNo,

        LONG nRowNo,

        INT nColType,

        INT nRowType,

        LPCTSTR sTextInitial,

        LPCTSTR sTextPrevious,

        CString & sTextNew,

        bool bEndEdit

    ) const

    {

        return true;

    }

};

Why would these 2.54 callbacks no longer be called in 2.83?

Here is the fixed version of your class:

class CMyGridCellUpDown : public CExtGridCellUpDown

            DECLARE_SERIAL( CMyGridCellUpDown );

            CMyGridCellUpDown( CExtGridDataProvider * pDP = NULL ) : CExtGridCellUpDown( pDP ) { }
            virtual bool OnQueryEnabledIncrement(
                        const CExtGridWnd & wndGrid,
                        LONG nColNo,

                        return false;
            }
            virtual bool OnQueryEnabledDecrement(
                        const CExtGridWnd & wndGrid,

Aha! Excellent. Thanks.

The cells are being initialized with _VariantAssign() in OnInitDialog. As I stated, the code works correctly using version 2.54. This unchanged code no longer works when using 2.83. In other words, something in 2.83 related to these classes has changed from 2.54, for good or bad, and is causing the problem. Please advise.

The CExtGridCellUpDown class is a CExtGridCellNumber class with up-down buttons displayed. If the up-down buttons does not work, then you didn’t initialize the number cell with some numeric value. I.e. you didn’t invoke code like this:

CExtGridCellUpDown * pGridCellUpDown = . . .
            pGridCellUpDown->_VariantAssign( 123, VT_I4 );

The cells are being initialized with _VariantAssign() in OnInitDialog. As I stated, the code works correctly using version 2.54. This unchanged code no longer works when using 2.83.

I am overriding OnGbwAnalyzeCellMouseClickEvent to catch a double click event, to copy the text from one cell to another cell, I am using TextGet after the hit test to get the value of the cell then I am trying to use TextSet to try to set the text in another cell, works fine when I running through it in debug and the grid is not displayed then re-displayed, what should I be using? is there a refresh for the cell data? Or should I be doing it some other way?

 

CExtGridCell * pCell = this->GridCellGet(htInfo.m_nColNo,htInfo.m_nRowNo,0,0,RUNTIME_CLASS(CExtGridCellStringDM ));

CString value;
if(pCell)
pCell->TextGet(value);
            
pCell = this->GridCellGet(CORRELATE_COL,htInfo.m_nRowNo,0,0,RUNTIME_CLASS(CExtGridCellStringDM ));
if(pCell)
    pCell->TextSet(value);

The CExtGridBaseWnd::FocusGet() method returns the focused cell location. The full row selection grids use only row number (CPoint::y) and column number (CPoint::x) is ignored. The vice versa approach is applied for the full column selection grids. The negative row/column numbers mean there is no focused cell/column/row in the grid control. The CExtGridBaseWnd::FocusUnset() method unsets the focus from the currently focused cell. The CExtGridBaseWnd::FocusSet() method allows you to set focus to row and/or column and optionally scroll to this row/column and reset selection to them. You may also need to get client coordinates of the grid cell by its row/column indices. This may be needed for repainting some grid cell(s). The grid control can return client coordinates only for the grid cells which are visible in its client area. Here is how to compute the cell rectangle and redraw the cell:

CExtGridWnd & wndGrid = . . .
LONG nColNo = . . .
LONG nRowNo = . . .
INT nColType = . . .
INT nRowType = . . .
CRect rcInvalidate;
            if(         wndGrid.GridCellRectsGet(
                                    nColNo,
                                    nRowNo,
                                    nColType,
                                    nRowType,
                                    NULL,
                                    &rcInvalidate
                                    )
                        )
                        wndGrid.InvalidateRect( &rcInvalidate );

Got it FocusUnset(); seems to work.

Support,

In a CExtResizableDialog I am trying to override the default CExtButton behavoir on VK_SPACE message. Specifically, I don’t want the button with the focus to ’press’ when the user hits the space bar. I have overridden PreTranslateMessage in the dialog class. Although I get the desired result, I still get the default behavior. Any suggestions?

Gil

BOOL CV11ExtResizableDialog::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)

{

 

{

 

 

 

 

{

 

if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN)bool bShift = (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_SHIFT) & 0x8000) != 0;bool bControl = (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_CONTROL) & 0x8000) != 0;bool bAlt = (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_MENU) & 0x8000) != 0;switch(pMsg->wParam)//If the user has pressed CTRL+Shift+ALT+v

 

 

{

CWnd* pWnd = GetParent();

 

pWnd->SendMessage(WM_USER_CTRL_ALT_SHIFT_V_Pressed);

}

 

 

case ’V’:if (bShift && bControl && bAlt)if (pWnd != NULL)break;//If the user has pressed the space bar.

 

case VK_SPACE:

CWnd* pWnd = GetParent();

 

{

 

if (pWnd != NULL)//Let parent determine action.

pWnd->SendMessage(WM_USER_SpaceBarPressed);

 

//Don’t allow space on this control.

 

}

}

 

}

}

 

}

return TRUE;break;return CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog >::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);

Not sure if the approach I am taking is right or not I derived a class from CExtGridWnd and I am trying to make certain cells read-only, as well as do other things with cell and text etc. the only thing that seems to be working is TextSet? what am I doing wrong?

CExtGridCell *pCell = this->GridCellGet(MASTER_COL,newRow,0,0,RUNTIME_CLASS( CExtGridCellStringDM ));
if(pCell) 
{
pCell->TextSet(masterVal.c_str());
pCell->ModifyStyle(CExtGridCell::__ECS_READ_ONLY);
}

 

 

Also I have been converting the rest of the application over to prof-uis, dialogs are derived from

CExtResizableDialog and I have been using

SetAutoSubclassChildControls(); and converting over everything else when needed, however the title bar of my dialogs does not take on the current theme? any ideas?

thanks,

I had compiled static library with visual studio 2008, but filed to build dynamic library.

When i tried to do an error message box appeared on screen.

Additionally, i can’t create project with profuis template.

Would you give me some idea to solve it.

---------------------------------------------

devenv.exe - Application Error



The exception unknown software exception (0xe0434f4d) occured in the application at location 0x7c812a5b.

---------------------------------------------

 

This problem occurs when compiling Prof-UIS resources. The Prof-UIS library is translated into 40 languages. This means we have many resources containing text strings written in 40 languages. There is the bug in Visual Studio 2005 and 2008. If these versions of Visual Studio are running on the Asian versions of Windows or on the Windows system which uses Chinese, Korean or Japanese locale, and if you opening Visual C++ project with resources containing strings on many languages, then the Visual Studio does not compile the C++ projects or simply crashes. This bug was reported to Microsoft before release of Visual Studio 2008 but it was not fixed. If you need to develop with Prof-UIS on Asian Windows, then you should do the following:

- Switch Windows locale to English.

Dear ProfUIS-Team,

how can I force the caption of a CExtRibbonNodeGroup control to become ’bold’ instead of the style-specific ’normal’ font weight?

Kind regards,

Martin

Thanks a lot for your help - and again: great support!

Best regards,

Martin

We are sorry but in fact we explained you how to make the text of tab item bold. But it’s also possible to make the text of ribbon button group caption bold. You should use the same approach. But you should create the CExtRibbonNodeGroup-derived and CExtRibbonButtonGroup-derived classes.

Thank you for your quick reply!

Though, I can’t see the relationship between a CExtRibbonNodeGroup (the one I meant in my question) and a CExtRibbonNodeTabPage. Or is my mistrust foundless?

Hi-

 

We are currently on prof-uis v 2.84. I understand this version doesn’t claim Windows 7 compatibility, but it seems to work ok. I’d like to know what exactly the differences are (specifically pertaining to Windows 7) before we determine whether to upgrade.

 

Thanks.

I want to always showed icon in a cexttreectrlnot only when the item is selected or expanded. How to do that ?

In my application I need to change the color of my CExtComboBox -> it works fine

But when my CExtComboBox change to be disabled, it keeps is last color and I want that my CExtComboBox get the same color than other CExtComboBox.

how to do that ?

I try to create a combobox with a second button near the arrow like the searching in outlook 2007.

Is it possible ?

Hi, Happy New years.

I can’t Enlglish, well..

I used CxtPPVW < CExtGridWnd > and connect ListCtrl.

So, CExtGridWnd is Datatype of ListCtrl

I want to have mouse click event.

Usually, Mouse event of ListCtrl have NM_Click or NM_DClick.

I want that When I click Grid, be showed clicked value of row or cloume by anoter Control .

Thank you for your answer.

If when I get values of Grid, How is it?

When I cliked (1,1) of GridCell, I want get value (1,1) of GridCell.

Do I use Textget, member of CExtGridCellString?

 

The CExtGridCell::TextGet() and CExtGridCell::GetVariant() methods work for all the cell classes excepting cells like CExtGridCellPicture. So, you can get cell value as text or as VARIANT data structure. If your code knows cell type for particular grid columns and rows, then you can use the DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST preprocessor function provided by MFC for converting the CExtGridCell * pointer into required cell type pointer and then invoke specific methods.

And Are nColType and nRowType number of Grid?

The nColType and nRowType parameters should have -1, 0 or 1 value.

The nColType is:
- -1 for outer header area at left
- 0 for inner data area
- 1 for outer header area at right

The nRowType is:
- -1 for outer header area at top
- 0 for inner data area
- 1 for outer header area at bottom

This means the grid control is split into 9 areas: one central data area and 8 outer header areas (left, right, top, bottom and 4 corner areas). The nColType and nRowType parameters specify the area inside the grid control. The nColNo and nRowNo parameters are zero based grid cell indices inside the specified grid area.

class CYourGrid : public CExtPPVW < CExtGridWnd >
{
public:
      virtual bool OnGbwAnalyzeCellMouseClickEvent(
            UINT nChar, // VK_LBUTTON, VK_RBUTTON or VK_MBUTTON only
            UINT nRepCnt, // 0 - button up, 1 - single click, 2 - double click, 3 - post single click & begin editing
            UINT nFlags, // mouse event flags
            CPoint point // mouse pointer in client coordinates
            )
      {
            ASSERT_VALID( this );
            if( nChar == VK_LBUTTON && nRepCnt == 1 )
            { // if single left button click
                  CExtGridHitTestInfo htInfo( point );
                  HitTest( htInfo, false, true );
                  if( ( ! htInfo.IsHoverEmpty() ) || htInfo.IsValidRect() )
                  { // if some grid cell is clicked,  not an empty area
                        INT nColType = htInfo.GetInnerOuterTypeOfColumn();
                        INT nRowType = htInfo.GetInnerOuterTypeOfRow();
                        if( nColType == 0 && nRowType == 0 )
                        { // if the clicked grid cell is the inner data cell, not header cell
                                    //
                                    //
                                    // Inner data cell is clicked. Its location is htInfo.m_nColNo column and htInfo.m_nRowNo row.
                                    // You can set focus to it using the FocusSet( CPoint( htInfo.m_nColNo, htInfo.m_nRowNo ) ); code.
                                    // You can check whether it’s selected using the SelectionGetForCell( htInfo.m_nColNo, htInfo.m_nRowNo ) code.
                                    // You can check which part of cell is clicked analyzing the htInfo properties.
                                    // You should return true if your code handles this click event.
                                    //
                                    //
                        } // if the clicked grid cell is the inner data cell, not header cell
                  } // if some grid cell is clicked, not an empty area
            } // if single left button click
            return CExtPPVW < CExtGridWnd > :: OnGbwAnalyzeCellMouseClickEvent( nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags, point );
      }
}

Hmm, I don’t understand.

 

Do you have its exam?

 

If you are ok, Can you show its exam or how use it?

Hello,

 

I declared a CExtPopupMenuTioWnd in a Dialog and call mTip.Show(this, tipRect, true) as soon as the dialog gets updated. I see a balloon appear in the dialog but it disappears immediately.

 

How can I make the balloon stay until the user clicks on it?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Bart.

Dear ProfUIS-Team,

the QuickAccessToolBar is of great value for users working with the RibbonBar.

A further-going idea would be to support a (one? or even more?) customizable RibbonTabGroup as an optional feature that allows being filled similarly to adding parts to the QuickAccessToolBar. The advantages are obvious: the user would be able to create his own "startup-menu" and finds everything together with reasonably sized controls that he needs for quick access.

What do you think about this idea? Would it be integratable in a common ProfUIS release? Or should we better make a customized thing? And if so, what would be the best way to go for it?

Thanks in advance and greetings from snowy-white Germany,

Martin

Hi,

I have created one dialog base application. Now is it possible to hide it?

I want to hide the dialog just as window’s taskbar autohide. And it appears again when we move cursor to top or bottom of screen(Just like taskbar’s autohide)

We just opened both URLs in Google Chrome browser and saved these web pages:

http://www.prof-uis.com/download/forums/tmp/SavedContentForAnilSiddhpura.zip

Here is the source code of the CMainFrame class from the real life commercial project we coded for one of our customers. It’s the frame window which acts like shell bar. It’s re-dockable and supports auto-hiding like the Windows Task Bar does. It’s tested and working. You can download it and insert into your project:

Hi,

Thanks for your support.

I used those two files. But it giving me compilation error while creating childview window(while calling m_ChildView.create function). Although I comment out that function and run the application and it work.

Also, can you provide me the sample project? And it’ll be better if the code is in dialog base application. As i have already developed my application in dialog base application.

Thanks in advance.

Of course, you should replace the view window creation code with something specific for your project. I.e. You should create your view window instead.
Which type of sample project you need? SDI? Dialog?

Both links are OK in IE, Chrome, Chromium, Firefox and Safari. Both links are simple and do not contain long parameters. You can check it yourself by looking at the source code of the html page. There may be something wrong on your computer.

Hi,

Yes, I saw that example. But that’s very old code and also very hard to reuse it.

Do you have any latest example of how to create appbar in MFC?

Cannot confirm that. Which web browser are you using?

Hi,

I have tried it with "Google Chrome" and "Internet Explorer"

You should convert your dialog into shell bar. Shell bars are also known as app bars. Please read the following:

Dear Support,

I have created a dialog containing grid. I want to use drag and drop feature and try to override the OnGridOuterDragComplete(). However, every time i did a test drag and drop, the drag row info is accurate but the drop row info is not accurate, sometimes just not right. Would you be able to provide me some sample file so i can understand to implemented this to my application? At the moment i am using 2.64 version.

Please help me to get it right. Here is the code:

 

void CMyExtGridWnd::OnGridOuterDragComplete(

        const CExtGridHitTestInfo &htInfoDrag,

        const CExtGridHitTestInfo &htInfoDrop

)



{

    CExtGridWnd::OnGridOuterDragComplete( htInfoDrag, htInfoDrop);



    //Information of the position of the data first position to the final destination

    CString fm;

    fm.Format("Info Drag = %i, INfo Drop =%i", htInfoDrag.m_nRowNo, htInfoDrop.m_nRowNo );

}

 

best regards,

Herry

Hi,

Can you tell me the procedure to create toolbar with 256 colors and >256 color in SDI and dialog base application?

Thanks in Advance!!!

You should create a toolbar using the Visual Studio wizards. Then add the required initial set of buttons, find the toolbar’s bitmap in the res subfolder of your project and replace it with a high color bitmap.

Hi,

Yes, i already done that. But when I replace the high color bitmap with that toolbar’s bitmap, the color of that bitmap lost and that high color bitmap becomes 4-bit image.

The Visual Studio’s resource editor caches the resources you viewed or edited. We guess the Visual Studio simply overwrites your toolbar’s bitmap.

Hi,

Yes, may be that could be the case. So is there any solution for that?
