Forum

I have an icon with multiple layers (in my case it’s 8 - 16x16, 32x32 with 16 colors to 32 bit foreach). I create a CExtCmdIcon object. Use function CreateFromHICON with my icon passed as a parameter. Later I extract an HICON handler from CExtCmdIcon object using ExtractHICON function to insert it to CImageList. Image list is created to contain small icons (16x16) and when displayed it has resized versions of 32x32 icons. Is there a way to use the desired icon layer (in this case it’s 16x16)?

The problem is not with the CExtCmdIcon class. The HICON icon is a container for one icon only. So you should load the icon of the needed size before attaching it to the CExtCmdIcon. Do not use the LoadIcon() method, because it can only load an icon whose size conforms to the SM_CXICON and SM_CYICON system metric values. You should use the LoadImage method instead so you can specify the width and height of the icon you want to load.

Continuing with our communication over this issue. So far we have been using the "General Forum" for our queries as there was some issue with our tech support login id. We have been using the General Forum Login id : SANKET and pwd:sagent. Kindly consider this as a continuation of that thread.

Waiting for your response to our last question on the General Forum.

Thanks.

Hi ,

Waiting for a response....

To help you we need to take a look at your project or debug it remotely.

First of all, I’d still need to clarify what you’d like to achieve.

In your application, you have 4 views (CSaIsBinsView, CSaIsPresentationView, CSaIsPlanNavigatorView, CSaIsPlanEditorView). Before integrating with Prof-UIS, the application window’s view area had been sliced up with splitters, each view going inside one of these parts.

All through this thread (and the previous), I thought that you wanted these 4 views as separate tab pages of one TabPageContainerWnd occupying the whole client area of the application window.
But after seeing the screen shot you just sent me, now I think, that you want to keep 3 of the views as they were before, and you want the 4th area of the screen (bottom pane of m_wndArenaSplitter) to be occupied by a TabPageContainerWnd (where CSaIsPresentationView were before). Am I right? That means it’s not the CSplitterWnd that you want to convert to TabPageContainerWnd, but you want one of the existing panes to be occupied by a TabPageContainerWnd.

If so, let me know and I’ll try to modify the code accordingly.

Hi I have sent u the relevant details in a zipped file from the email id: sanket_das1@yahoo.co.in

Yes, we confirm that your subscription is valid and are ready to help you. But we need some test project that demonstrates the problem.

MSDN says about OnCreateClient: Never call this function!
So just try removing that one line from CMainFrame::OnCreate and remove the overriden CMainFrame::OnCreateClient method.

But your last post was a little confusing and I still agree with Support, you should make a very basic sample application that demonstrates the problem.

It would be very difficult for us to provide u a sample prototype. But we can assure you that we share the frame creation code with you. Please send us ur email id

You could try to change the code of that sample application I made in the thread on General Forum.

If that really doesn’t work out, you can try sending me your creation code to puffy_chris@yahoo.com
Your application class’ InitInstance, CMainFrame::OnCreate would be crucial to see, and send along the followings, if you have them:
CChildView::OnCreate;
I don’t know how many and what kind of Views are created, those .h files would be good to see, too.

Also, a callstack would be nice when the application asserts, as you wrote earlier.

In CExtReportGridWnd, the ReportItemRegister() always adds the row at the end. How could I insert a row at the given index in CExtReportGridWnd?

Thanks

Thanks. I have used CExtTreeGridWnd::ItemInsert()

Hi,
I am getting an Assert in debug mode on the following line "ASSERT( pItemDataExt != NULL )" in CExtComboBoxBase::OnCBResetContent() when I call ResetContent() on a CExtComboBox control. The combo box has data initialised in the dialog editor and under some circumstances I want to clear this and add other options. It seems to work fine in release mode and I would normally do this with a CComboBox control.

Is there another ’expected’ way of doing this?

thanks
Ian

When a gird is first displayed the scroll bars are disabled, even if only part of the gird is displayed. The keyboard must be used to move cells to enable the scroll bars. How do I enable the scroll bars?

Hi,

I’m constructing a CExtPopupMenuWnd like

CExtPopupMenuWnd * p_anExtPopupWnd = new CExtPopupMenuWnd();
CExtPopupMenuWnd::g_bMenuExpanding = false;

p_anExtPopupWnd->UpdateFromMenu(this->m_hWnd,&aMenu, false, true, false);

One of the item of my aMenu is set to checked but in the p_anExtPopupWnd it is not.

What do I miss ?

Hi,

I want to do the following purpose.
1. I create a some dll project, each dll project include one child dialog resource.
2. I create a export function to do this child dialog creation.
3. In main program, I dymanic load this dll and call the export function to do child dialog creation.
4. After the program running, The main window with the specify Windows style (CExtPaintManagerOffice2007_R2_LunaBlue), but
the embedded child window that created from DLL without Windows style apply.

Can I apply the Windows style in this child dialog where it created from DLL ?

Hi,
I have occasional reports from my users where ProfileBarStateSave() fails and CMainFrame::DestroyWindow() crashes. I have all the code in CMainFrame::DestroyWindow() in a try-catch block and the catch isn’t being entered. Only: return CExtNCW<CMDIFrameWnd>::DestroyWindow(); is outside the try-catch block.

The Version of the app has not changed when this happens. The Stack backtrace is as follows:

--------
*** Stack trace for last set context - .thread/.cxr resets it
ChildEBP RetAddr
WARNING: Stack unwind information not available. Following frames may be wrong.

------

Any idea why ProfileBarStateSave() randomly fails and why the crash occures?

I am using Prof-UIS V2.62

Thanks Suhai. I’ve added m_wndMenuBar.RemoveAllWndHooks(); and will update to the latest Prof-UIS version.

I’d still like to get some answer to ProfileBarStateSave() failing?

The problem you reported in the top message often occurred in versions earlier than 2.70 but after the release of 2.70 nobody reported it. Besides, it was not related to the code that serializes the control bars. It occurred during automatic destruction of the main frame’s children and popup/descendant windows. We need to take a look at the complete call stack so that we can help you out with this.

PS:
for project Property setting / Configuration Properties / Linker / Input / Additional Dependencies
I set ".../ProfUIS270u.lib" before, I set ".../ProfUIS270su.lib" now

You should include only (IMPORTANT) one file, which is Prof-UIS.h, in your StdAfx.h file. All the appropriate Prof-UIS libraries will be linked with your project automatically. So you should remove any explicit references to Prof-UIS libraries from the linker settings.

Thanks, it work fine for me.
But now I switch Back to "Use MFC in a Shared DLL"

It VS2005 will say :
This application has failed to start because ProfUIS270u.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

PS: I have set up "...\Prof-UIS\Bin_800" in Tools > Options > Project and Solutions > VC++ Dir > Library.

What should I do for switching back ?

The ProfUIS270u.dll file corresponds to the Release Unicode configuration of Prof-UIS. So please open the ProfUISDLL project and compile the "Win32 Unicode Release" configuration.

PS: I switch from Use MFC in a "Shared DLL" to "Static Library", but leave "link to ProfUIS by static library" the same

my other ProfUIS relative settting:

I’m using CExtWA for resizable dialogs, but it doesn’t draw the gripper. I’ve tried using CExtResizableDialog, which draws the gripper, but I don’t want the theme coloring. So, how do I get CExtWA to draw a gripper, or CExtResizableDialog to not theme?

How do I hide the combobox drop-down button in a read-only cell? The button is automatically disabled, but there is no need to display.

Basically, I have a CExtResizeableDialog that I’m embedding in a CExtControlBar. However, I don’t want the title bar to show up when control bar is docked, just the gripper.

How do I do that?

Hopefully, I making a simple beginner mistake. I have built a simple dialog based application.
In the main dialog, I have embedded two dialog pages where only one of them is displayed
at one time. The page to be displayed is selected by two of the buttons at the bottom of the
main dialog. The problem I am having is that the items within the pages do not resize when
I resize the main dialog. What am I doing wrong?

I have purposefully not worried about implementing handlers for several of the controls -
to build the example quickly and keep the problem simple. Is there some essential handler
that I am missing?

Note - I am currently using Prof-UIS 2.64

The essential sample source code follows:

That fixed it!!

Thanks Suhai - Very much appreciated!

I just made the changes as you suggested. The ASSERT() is still triggered - the same as before.
I’ve tried moving the statements around a bit - but I have not yet come up with the magical solution.

I appreciate your help and any more help you can give to get me through this.

I’ve made a sample application based on your code and that helped me find out the problem:

AddAnchor uses its first parameter as an ID, trying to find the control (child window) associated with that ID. But creating the child windows with the code m_pMyPageDlgOne->Create(CMyPageDlgOne::IDD,this); doesn’t set the child window’s ID to CMyPageDlgOne::IDD, as in this call it is the ID of the dialog template, based on which the window is created. So you have to set the ID manually. But it is better program design to use different IDs to dialog templates and different ones for control objects (in case at any point in the development you’d like to use 2 CMyPageDlgOne objects).

So I made 2 new IDs for the child window controls: IDC_FIRST_PAGE and IDC_SECOND_PAGE and I set these IDs manually with SetDlgCtrlID.

	SetIcon(m_hIcon, TRUE);			// Set big icon
	SetIcon(m_hIcon, FALSE);		// Set small icon
 
	CRect rcPages;
	::GetWindowRect(::GetDlgItem(m_hWnd,IDC_STATIC_PAGES_RECT),&rcPages);
	ScreenToClient(&rcPages);
	//
	m_pMyPageDlgOne = new CMyPageDlgOne;
	ASSERT(m_pMyPageDlgOne != NULL);
	m_pMyPageDlgOne->Create(CMyPageDlgOne::IDD,this);
	m_pMyPageDlgOne->SetDlgCtrlID(IDC_FIRST_PAGE);
	m_pMyPageDlgOne->MoveWindow(&rcPages);
 
	m_pMyPageDlgTwo = new CMyPageDlgTwo;
	ASSERT(m_pMyPageDlgTwo != NULL);
	m_pMyPageDlgTwo->Create(CMyPageDlgTwo::IDD,this);
	m_pMyPageDlgTwo->SetDlgCtrlID(IDC_SECOND_PAGE);
	m_pMyPageDlgTwo->MoveWindow(&rcPages);
 
	::ShowWindow(m_pMyPageDlgOne->GetSafeHwnd(),SW_SHOW);
 
	CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog >::AddAnchor( IDOK, __RDA_RB );
	CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog >::AddAnchor( IDCANCEL, __RDA_RB );
	CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog >::AddAnchor( IDC_BUTTON1, __RDA_RB );
	CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog >::AddAnchor( IDC_BUTTON2, __RDA_RB );
	CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog >::AddAnchor( IDC_FIRST_PAGE, __RDA_LT, __RDA_RB );
	CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog >::AddAnchor( IDC_SECOND_PAGE, __RDA_LT, __RDA_RB );
	CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog >::AddAnchor( IDC_STATIC_PAGES_RECT, __RDA_LT, __RDA_RB );
 
	ShowSizeGrip(TRUE);

I tried adding the two lines you suggested and showing borders.
This caused an ASSERT( ) to be triggered in AddAnchor() - due to hWnd being NULL or !::IsWindow(hWnd).
When I take your suggested lines out, but leave the borders turned on, I can see that indeed the
inner dialogs are not resizing.

Any new suggestions?

Yes, true, the Create method for the dialogs is not called at that point yet.
So all you need to do is place the AddAnchor calls after the Create method. But to keep all AddAnchors together, this code would better:

BOOL CMyDlgOneDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
	CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog >::OnInitDialog();
 
	// Set the icon for this dialog. The framework does this automatically
	// when the application’s main window is not a dialog
	SetIcon(m_hIcon, TRUE); // Set big icon
	SetIcon(m_hIcon, FALSE); // Set small icon
 
	CRect rcPages;
	::GetWindowRect(::GetDlgItem(m_hWnd,IDC_STATIC_PAGES_RECT),&rcPages);
	ScreenToClient(&rcPages);
	//
	m_pMyPageDlgOne = new CMyPageDlgOne;
	ASSERT(m_pMyPageDlgOne != NULL);
	m_pMyPageDlgOne->Create(CMyPageDlgOne::IDD,this);
	m_pMyPageDlgOne->MoveWindow(&rcPages);
 
	m_pMyPageDlgTwo = new CMyPageDlgTwo;
	ASSERT(m_pMyPageDlgTwo != NULL);
	m_pMyPageDlgTwo->Create(CMyPageDlgTwo::IDD,this);
	m_pMyPageDlgTwo->MoveWindow(&rcPages);
 
	::ShowWindow(m_pMyPageDlgOne->GetSafeHwnd(),SW_SHOW);
 
	//
	// Setup anchors for resizable dialog controls
	//
	CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog >::AddAnchor( IDOK, __RDA_RB );
	CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog >::AddAnchor( IDCANCEL, __RDA_RB );
	CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog >::AddAnchor( IDC_BUTTON1, __RDA_RB );
	CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog >::AddAnchor( IDC_BUTTON2, __RDA_RB );
	CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog >::AddAnchor( IDC_EDIT1, __RDA_LT, __RDA_LB );
	CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog >::AddAnchor( IDC_STATIC_PAGES_RECT, __RDA_LT, __RDA_RB );
	CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog >::AddAnchor( CMyPageDlgOne::IDD, __RDA_LT, __RDA_RB );
	CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog >::AddAnchor( CMyPageDlgTwo::IDD, __RDA_LT, __RDA_RB );

You should anchor the controls on your dialog manually so that their size and layout can proportionally change when the dialog is resized. Please read about this in the article below:

How to create a window containing auto-resizable controls?

I have read it. I have also anchored all of my controls. When you say "manually" - do you mean
by specifying values like CPoint(5,95) and so on? I have tried this by going back and explicitly
setting the values by uing anchor calls like the following:

AddAnchor( IDC_BUTTON_D, CPoint(90,90), CPoint(100,100) );

But it didn’t have any effect. Can you suggest something else that I might be doing wrong -
or did I misunderstand what you meant by the word "manually"?

Dear Support,

I’m using ProfUIS v2641 downloaded from your FTP server on 3/21/2007.
I’m having trouble with deleting a toolbar. I’ve reduced the problem to this code:

	CExtToolControlBar *pDynBar = new CExtToolControlBar();
	pDynBar->Create(_T("Dynamically created"), AfxGetMainWnd(), ID_SOME_ID);
	delete pDynBar;

In release mode (Static Unicode Release), app crashes on the delete line. I tried stepping through the destructor of CExtToolControlBar in debug mode, but I couldn’t see what could cause the problem. App does not crash in debug mode. AfxGetMainWnd() is a CFrameWnd-derived object. When I wrote and tested this part of our application, it worked fine, but I think we used another version of ProfUIS at that time, unfortunately I couldn’t tell which one.

Could you please advise?
Thank you!
Chris

Please do a search for the KillBar() function in Prof-UIS forums. It is exactly what you need.

Hello

How can I constrain the size of input text in a CExtGridCellString?

Next, I have a CExtPropertyGrid in a CExtResizablePropertyPage. When this grid has focus and the CTRL is pressed, input focus moves to next control in the property page. But I your property grid sample input focus inside property grid changes to next cell in this case. What I need to do to have the same behavior?

Thank for support

1. CExtGridCellEx::LimitTextSet can be used for this purpose.

2. Isn’t it the TAB key instead of CTRL key?
I guess you should override PreTranslateMessage in your CExtResizablePropertyPage-derived class and if the message is the WM_CHAR message with TAB virtual key, let the grid have first crack at the message (call PreTranslateMessage of grid)

Sorry, there were some mistakes in last post about handling TAB key. Here’s code:

BOOL CMyResizablePage::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
	if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN && pMsg->wParam == VK_TAB && GetFocus() == &m_wndPropGrid)
		return m_wndPropGrid.PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
	return CExtResizablePropertyPage::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}

Can Prof-UIS support help on TAB problem?

Thanks, Gyorgy, but your code about TAB key doesn’t work. First, CExtPropertyGridCtrl::PreTranslateMessage() is protected, but even after that, GetFocus() == &m_wndPropGrid doesn’t work. I don’t know why.

One more addition to the code to be on the save side:

BOOL CMyResizablePage1::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
	if (
		pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN 
		&& pMsg->wParam == VK_TAB
		&& m_PropGridCtrl.IsChild(GetFocus())
		&& m_PropGridCtrl.GetActiveGrid() != NULL 
	)
	{
		m_PropGridCtrl.GetActiveGrid()->SendMessage(pMsg->message, pMsg->wParam, pMsg->lParam);
		return TRUE;
	}
	return CExtResizablePropertyPage::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}

Thanks, Gyorgy! But your code still doesn’t work. Propery page’s focus remains on the CExtProperyGridWnd, wich has no reaction on this forwarded messge.

I really don’t know what the problem is, as it is working for me.
You can download the sample I worked with from here. It is a modified version of ProfUIS’s ResizablePropertySheet sample.

Thanks a lot Gyorgy! I’m very pleased for your help.
Your code works well. But I have changed CMyResizablePage1::GetPropertyStore() method to this:

CExtPropertyStore * CMyResizablePage1::GetPropertyStore()
{
    ASSERT_VALID( this );
    if( m_pPS != NULL )
        return m_pPS;

    m_pPS = new CExtPropertyStore;

    CExtPropertyCategory* pCat = 0;
    CExtPropertyValue* pItem = 0;

    for (DWORD i = 0; i < 3; ++i)
    {
        pCat = new CExtPropertyCategory(_T("TestCategory"));
        if (m_pPS->ItemInsert(pCat))
        {
            for (DWORD j = 0; j < 5; ++j)
            {
                pItem = new CExtPropertyValue(_T("TestName"));
                if (pCat->ItemInsert(pItem))
                {
                    CExtGridCellString* pValue = STATIC_DOWNCAST(CExtGridCellString,
                        pItem->ValueActiveGetByRTC(RUNTIME_CLASS(CExtGridCellString)));
                    pValue->ModifyStyleEx( __EGCS_EX_WRAP_TEXT);
                    pItem->HeightPxSet(50);
                    pValue->LimitTextSet(50);
                }
            }
        }
    }

    return m_pPS;
}

This is like the code in my project. The TAB key doesn’t work in this case. I have sent your project to support. I hope they will check what’s wrong.

Hello Prof-UIS Team,

I think it should be useful if CExtPropertyGridToolBar had a default Tool Button for reseting all grid cells to their default values. Maybe if it’s possible this button could be aligned at the right side of the bar. Consider this suggestion.

Regards!

Hello

First, how can I add a verical scrollbar to a multiline CExtGridCellString of a CExtReportGridWnd?
Next, CExtGridCellCheckBox::SetAutoTextMode() method disables character’s input into the sell, but also displays the "True" of "False" text in it. But what if I need neither character’s input, no any text in the cell?

Thank you

Hello,

I want to remove all items from the ReportGrid control.

class CMyGrid : public CExtPPVW < CExtReportGridWnd >
{
}

CMyGrid grid;
....
grid.RowRemoveAll();


When I call RowRemoveAll() function I receive an assertion in the CExtTreeGridDataProvider::RowRemove;


bool CExtTreeGridDataProvider::RowRemove(
    ULONG nRowNo,
    ULONG nRemoveCount // = 1
    )
{
    ASSERT_VALID( this );
    nRowNo;
    nRemoveCount;
    // this method must never be invoked
    ASSERT( FALSE );
    return false;
}


What is the right method of deleting all items from the ReportGrid control?

Thanks,
KP

You can also use the following code:

LONG nRowCount = m_wndGrid.RowCountGet();
if( nRowCount > 0L )
{
	HTREEITEM hRootItem = m_wndGrid.ItemGetRoot();
	ASSERT( hRootItem != NULL );
	if( hRootItem != NULL )
		m_wndGrid.ItemRemove( hRootItem, true, true );
}

This method works well.

Thanks,
KP

Can I build a toolbar dynamically from a series of separate icons instead of one large bitmap? When built from icons, how can I change the size of the toolbar from 16X16 to 32X32 etc?

Thanks for the reply.

What is the easiest way of switching between different sized icons? I would like to have an option in the program to change all the toolbar buttons from 16X16 to 32X32. Can I have a .ico that has more then one size image and switch between them?

1) If your application is not customizable, reload all the command descriptions in the command manager, i.e. the command manager should be updated from the different toolbar/icon resources and finally you should re-compute the layout of the main frame/dialog and other windows.

2) If your application is customizable, the command tree nodes which represent toolbar buttons and menu items may contain icons of the of previous size, edited by the user so you should re-initialize the entire customization subsystem in the same way as it is done in the LanguageSwitcher sample where all the command texts should be reset after the preferred language changes.

Please let us know more details about your application so we can provide you with the exact steps.

At any point, you can get a pointer to a particular command by its ID:

CExtCmdItem * pCmdItem =
	g_CmdManager->CmdGetPtr(
		strProfileName,
		nCmdId
		);
ASSERT (pCmdItem != NULL );
g_CmdManager->CmdSetIcon(
	strProfileName,
	pCmdItem->m_nCmdID,
	hIcon,
	false // Use the hIcon handle "as is"
);

Here hIcon can be either 16x16 or 32x32.

But keep in mind that changing the icon size for a command will change the icon size in the toolbars and in the menus as well. If you want to keep 16x16 icons in the menus all the time, follow this FAQ: How to use a small icon in menus and a large icon in toolbars for the same command?

Dear Sir,

In my ribbonbar mdi ( version 2.70) application when we right click on ribbon bar one context menu appear having option
1) customize quick access toolbar
2) reset quick tool bar
3) place quick access toolbar below the ribbon

How can i play with this menu i.e how to add or remove options from this menu.

Actually I want to remove the option 3 & 4 from menu completely.

How can i remove these options 3 & 4 from menu?


One more questions is how to place bitmap on CExtResizable dialog?


Regards.
