Hi,

In my application, all things are dockable. I’m using vs 2005 style painter. When i move a resizable window, the navigator does not appear. How can i enable it?

Thank you

ps. I’m using lib 2.50

// Arkin Terli

I think the problem is in project settings. I copied MainFrm.cpp and it’s header files of my testproj into SDI project directory which is in sample directory of prof-uis.
SDI sample worked, which uses my testproj codes.

then i changed my testproj settings as SDI settings, but still testproj is not working.

Also, both projects, SDI and testproj, use ProfUIS252sn.lib (but i’m using prof-uis 2.50 fw version. Is it normal? I expected to use ProfUIS250sn.lib )

I couldn’t find where i made a mistake...

OK, here is the test project:

Thank you.

We need more information to come to any conclusion about why the docking markers (the guide diamond) do not appear in your application. Could you send us a test project that demonstrates the problem?

OK, My env settings confused and i was suppose to use lib 2.50

The problem is more clear now:

The testprojet, which i sent you, works with lib 2.50, but still does not work with lib 2.52, though...

It seems you are using Prof-UIS 2.52 -- not 2.50. Any static library available in Prof-UIS 2.50 is a light-weight version of DLL libraries and has no resource dependent features. Any static library in Prof-UIS 2.52 is fully featured and you need to include Prof-UIS resources into the res/DisplayMgr.rc2 file in your project (see how it is done in any .rc2 file of any Prof-UIS sample). The DisplayMgr.rc2 file in your project may look like this:

//
// DisplayMgr.RC2 - resources Microsoft Visual C++ does not edit directly
//
 
#ifdef APSTUDIO_INVOKED
#error this file is not editable by Microsoft Visual C++
#endif //APSTUDIO_INVOKED
 

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Add manually edited resources here...
 
#if ( !(defined _AFXDLL && !defined __STATPROFUIS_WITH_DLLMFC__) )
 #include <Resources/Resource.rc>
#endif
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

This improvement is essential and allows you make bitmaps of docking markers (the guide diamond) available in Prof-UIS library statically linked with your module.

The old configuration method was so good. The new one needs a lot of work. Adding some lines into .rc2 files makes life hard...

Now guide diamond works.

PS. I prefer to use prof-uis with min configuration on MFC application like using 2.50

Thanks

 

You can certainly use the old method. We provide this for compatibility with old projects. Please open Prof-UIS.h and comment the following line:

#define __EXT_PROFUIS_STATIC_LINK_WITH_RESOURCES 

Then recompile the library. Now the library is absolutely resource-independent and works like before.
