Dear Support,

Consider this scenario:
1) In an MDI application, when using CExtTabMdiWnd, and placing it on the bottom: __ETWS_ORIENT_BOTTOM.
2) Using an 2007 theme, for example CExtPaintManagerOffice2007_Silver.
3) Have one control-bar docked on the left side.

There is a painting problem in the NC area of the line separating the control-bar from the view - for some reasons it thinks that the mdi tab is still docked on top, and draws a gray rectangle where it was to be if it was docked on top.

I can send you a capture, or even a project with this problem if you cannot reproduce it.

Thanks,
Ron.

Thank you for reporting the problem but it would very helpful convenient to take a look at a screenshot that demonstrates what’s wrong.

Hi,

We have created a ribbon bar application with 5 ribbon tabs inside it by using
m_wndRibbonBar.SetButtons ( m_pRibbonNode );

Inside this Ribbon Node ( m_pRibbonNode ) there is object of CExtRibbonNodeTabPageCollection which contains 5 tab pages .

I want to hide some of the tab pages when application launches and then using
Some click action I want to show remaining tabs which were hidden previously.

Could you suggest some method/way to achieve this?

We will appreciate your quick response as we are heading towards our release.

Thanks and Regards

With a Report Grid that is not sorted or grouped, how do I add a new row at a specific location (ie row 10)?

When the grid is sorted, or grouped, how do I select a newly added item?

So are you suggesting that the item be added the normal way, which would put it at the bottom of the grid, then use ItemCopyMove to move it to the row I want? I reason I wish to do this is when a item is being added it’s sorted location in the database is known, so by adding it to this known location in the grid the grid does not need to be resorted. The rows in the grid match the same order as the sorted order in the database.

How about my second question? When the grid is grouped, or sorted, the data is in a different order then the database and the location for the new item in the grid is not known, After adding the item to the grid and resorting the grid, how do I find and select the new item?

We are sorry for the wrong reply. Normally you should never move report grid rows manually and there is no need for analyzing if sorting and/or grouping is applied. You should simply insert a new report row by invoking the CExtReportGridWnd::ReportItemRegister() method which returns a pointer to the CExtReportGridItem item. This pointer can be used as a handle to HTREEITEM row. It is persistent and allows you to identify the row uniquely regardless of any conditions (row location, sorting/grouping, expanded state of parent rows, etc.). The next step is to initialize grid cells in all the columns for the just added report grid row. Finally, you should invoke the CExtReportGridWnd::ReportSortOrderUpdate() method and the newly added row will be placed into its correct location according to the currently applied sorting/grouping rules. You can set the focus on using the following code:

CExtReportGridWnd & wndReportGrid = . . .
CExtReportGridItem * pRGI = wndReportGrid.ReportItemRegister( . . . );
      . . .
      wndReportGrid.ItemFocusSet( (HTREEITEM)pRGI );

Dear Support,

A while a go you said this feature is not yet implemented.
Was it implemented in 2.70? If not when is it going to be implemented?

Thanks,
Ron.

Dear Support Team,

I am using CExtGridWnd. I am searching for a way to apply the painting of the active theme to the row and column header of the CExtGridWnd (like the headers in the CExtReportGrid). They are always painted old style grey.

Thanks.

Thanks, that works fine.

Now I have another question: how to get the scrollbar in the CExtGridWnd painted in the color scheme of the PaintManager (as it is done in the example SimpleGrids) ?

By default, the grid control uses built-in window scroll bars which are implemented as part of the non-client area. You can use CScrollBar scroll bar common controls or CExtScrollBar Prof-UIS scroll bars in it instead. The latter scroll bars are what you are looking for. The easiest way to embed Prof-UIS scroll bars into the grid control is to use the following template class:

template < class _BT >
class CExtNicerScrollBars : public _BT
{
public:
      mutable CExtScrollBar m_wndScrollBarH, m_wndScrollBarV;
protected:
      bool _EnsureScrollBarsCreated() const
      {
            if(         m_wndScrollBarH.GetSafeHwnd() != NULL
                  &&    m_wndScrollBarV.GetSafeHwnd() != NULL
                  )
                  return true;
            m_wndScrollBarH.m_eSO = CExtScrollBar::__ESO_BOTTOM;
            m_wndScrollBarV.m_eSO = CExtScrollBar::__ESO_RIGHT;
            if( m_wndScrollBarV.GetSafeHwnd() == NULL )
            {
                  if( ! m_wndScrollBarV.Create(
                              WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|SBS_VERT|SBS_RIGHTALIGN,
                              CRect(0,0,0,0),
                              ((CWnd*)this),
                              1
                              )
                        )
                  {
                        ASSERT( FALSE );
                        return false;
                  }
            }
            if( m_wndScrollBarH.GetSafeHwnd() == NULL )
            {
                  if( ! m_wndScrollBarH.Create(
                              WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|SBS_HORZ|SBS_BOTTOMALIGN,
                              CRect(0,0,0,0),
                              ((CWnd*)this),
                              2
                              )
                        )
                  {
                        ASSERT( FALSE );
                        return false;
                  }
            }
            m_wndScrollBarH.SyncReservedSpace( &m_wndScrollBarV );
            m_wndScrollBarV.SyncReservedSpace( &m_wndScrollBarH );
            return true;
      }
public:
      virtual CScrollBar* GetScrollBarCtrl(int nBar) const
      {
            ASSERT_VALID( this );
            switch( nBar )
            {
            case SB_HORZ:
            case SB_VERT:
                  if( _EnsureScrollBarsCreated() )
                  {
                        CExtScrollBar * pScrollBar = ( nBar == SB_HORZ ) ? (&m_wndScrollBarH) : (&m_wndScrollBarV);
                        ASSERT_VALID( pScrollBar );
                        ASSERT( pScrollBar->GetSafeHwnd() != NULL );
                        return pScrollBar;
                  }
            break;
            }
            return NULL;
      }
};

I have a CExtTabPageContainerOneNoteWnd with some dialog page in it, but the dialogs are larger than the windows.

So I want to attach the vertical and horizontal scrollbar.

Iaˆ™ve been using the TabbedBars sample as the example code.

How do I attach the scroll at the CExtTabPageContainerOneNoteWnd?

The following sample demonstrates how to implement a scrollable dialog container with skinned scrollbars and dialog anchoring mechanism. The scroll bars appear if the container window’s size is less than the initial dialog size. You can use this container window as a child of the tab page container.

Dear Support,

You sample application hit the spot for me, but I have a problem using it.

This is my scenario:
I have a tab container in a CView derived class, with a CExtResizableDialog derived class in each tab.
I would like to have the scroll-bars (skinned of-course) available for each tab if needed.

My problem is that I need to add this functionality to each of my CExtResizableDialog derived classes, so I don’t know where to put this code to work...

Please advise.

Thanks,
Ron.

I discovered the problem with CExtGridCellComboBox selection, in 2.54 selection ( SetCurSel or SelectString ) worked as expected, but in 2.70 the old code became somehow incorrect, and all combo selection are dropped. The one of symphtoms is changing state of combobox like there was default value changing ( the title became bold ). Need a hint :)

Thanks it helps.

I am getting a crash on exit with call stack as below. The crash occurs maybe one time in 3.

I have an MDI app with a ribbon bar

any suggestions?

Adding the suggested line causes ASSERT failures elsewhere in the project (call stack listed below).

The project has quite a few dlls and does quite a bit of module state switching.
Each dll has its own mfc dialogs and resource files. They all use prof-UIS based controls.

It may be helpful if you can give me more info on module state control within prof-UIS.
for example, do I need to do anything in prof-UIS when I call AFX_MANAGE_STATE?

problem seems to be in:

bool CExtTabPageContainerWnd::OnHookWndMsg(
    LRESULT & lResult,
    HWND hWndHooked,
    UINT nMessage,
    WPARAM & wParam,
    LPARAM & lParam
    )

    ASSERT_VALID( this );

...
    
}

It is the ASSERT_VALID(this) that is failing.
As a get-around, I can comment out that line, but would like to get a proper fix.

It may also be relevant that the app is a very large app that makes a lot of use of dlls.

It is difficult for me to debug as I can’t step through to the problem code. Is there anything you can suggest that may help me in stepping through or identifying which of my classes may have an issue?

This assertion may occur only due to incorrect MFC state switching in some MFC regular DLL loaded into the running process of your application. If it’s true, the following call in the InitInstance() method of your application class should fix the problem:

CExt_ProfUIS_ModuleState::InitExtension( AfxGetAppModuleState() );

having updated to 2.70 I now get a crash on startup - still seems to be down to hook chains

Would you send us the full call stack or a test project that reproduces the problem?

I have a CExtTabPageContainerWnd with some dialog page in it, but the dialogs are not aligned with the top left of the control. It seems the dialogs page have an offset from the top left of the tab. I’ve been using the TabPages sample as the example code but do no see where an page location is set.
How do I get the dialogs aligned with the top left of the tab?

I figured it out - the dialogs within the tab had to have a Window style of Child, mine were Popup.

Do you plan to implement some class for message box in near future?
It looks strange when application is displaying old windows error message boxes on top of new GUI :(
Thank you

I add the sample project :)

I make a little article based on it, so now you can take it from codeproject.com

http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/ProfUIS_Dialogs.asp

We will carefully read the article. Thank you. At first glance, the only thing it is missing is that there is no sample project.

if you interested I can give you my solution. It’s simply replaces not only MessageBox but all simple dialogs.

Yes, it would be very interesting to look at your source code.Actually we also have some code but it is not fully tested yet.

Hi!

If I disable ( CExtButton::EnbableWindow(FALSE) a CExtButton in CExtPaintManagerOffice2007_RX theme it takes a while until the button is shown as disabled. Same behaviour in ProfUIS_Controls sample ( s.CPageButtons::OnCmdMsg ..case IDC_CHECK_BUTTON_ENABLE: )

I think it has to do with the AnimationClient_StatePaint( dc ) in CExtButton::_DrawImpl()
Is there a redraw missing?

Regards
Michael

Hi,

From the sample ADORecordSetView sample, i’d like to build a similar example, but filling a data grid inside a typicla resizable control bar, like the ones created with the Prof-UIS AppWizard.

How can i do that?


Thanks

Hello.

I incorporate GDIPLUS in one’s application.
Using MetaFile in GDIPLUS and,
I acquire made pixel size.
A figure of print was made in a range.

Metafile *pmetafile5;
pmetafile5 = new Metafile(
L"\\test.emf" ,
hSc5,
frameRect,
MetafileFrameUnitPixel
);

Thanks,

We have just improved the coordinate system translation code for printing and print preview. Please download the updated samples.

Hello

After all a sample does not work well.
When there is malfunction in CreateEnhMetaFile, it is thought.

I cannot make metafile in an appointed pixel
I have to appoint mm by this order.
However, I cannot acquire an accurate pixel number

GdiPlus can seem to satisfy these businesses.


.NET ( GDIPLUS )
MetaFile

The document content was correctly scaled after last improvements in the printing and print preview. Could you send us some screenshots demonstrating what you saw on your computer? Unfortunately we cannot use GDI plus because we provide compatibility with old Windows versions.

Hi

>Could you send us some screenshots demonstrating what you saw on your computer?

ttp://profuis0.tripod.com/20070612/image01.jpg

First of all.
I did problem solving.

Thanks,

Unfortunately, the link is broken. But, if you say that the problem is solved, then there may be no need for this screenshot.

I uploaded it again.
ttp://profuis0.tripod.com/20070612/image01.jpg

Please let us know which printer was used for the print preview demonstrated in this screenshot?

Hi

It is not caused by printer driver.
250/350/400 FX DC ART4 E

You make a metafile in designated mm.
The number of the pixels which you calculated in designated mm and program is different.

This is prime cause.
This is regarded as malfunction of CreateEnhMetaFile.

We have continued trying to re-compute coordinate mapping inside the printing and print preview subsystem. Here is the latest result:

Please try it.

Is there a way to enable/disable the tabs in my CExtRibbonBar by handling events of the tabs themselves? I created a CExtRibbonNodeTabPage and gave it a unique CmdID, then I added a handler for ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(myCmdID, myHandlerFunc) and called pCmdUI->Enable(FALSE) in the handler function. However, I never get the event unless I click on the tab. Can’t I enable/disable ribbon tabs just as I do it with menus or buttons?

OK, but unfortunately, OnDeliverCmd doesn’t get called before I click on the tab. I’d like to disable it visually, so the user can se which tabs are active. In some other part of my code, I’m calling CExtRibbonButtonTabPage::ModifyStyle(TBBS_DISABLED), which does exactly what I want, but I’d like to do it in the update event of the tab.

We think it’s not a good idea to make tab buttons controlled by the MFC’s command updating mechanism. Currently all the tabs are always enabled (like in Office 2007 applications) and the developer needs simply to construct the content of the ribbon tree. The developer doesn’t need to add command updating handlers for all the inserted tab items. Besides, we would need to create a skin for disabled tab items, which is outside the requirements of Office 2007 Ribbon UI license and not recommended by the Windows Vista UI guidelines (see msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511493.aspx).

Hello,

Please, may you look at the following thing... First open PropertyGrid sample. Select one random star and look at "Animation" property item. There’s no text, even that the item’s value is initialized in the constructor. But the text is gone also when you try to change the combo value by yourself and then deselect and select the star again. This refresh doesn’ help. In our project the behavior of CExtGridCellComboBox is the same, even worse. Programatically CExtGridCellComboBox::GetCurSel() returns -1 (unselected), even if I select a value manualy or programatically. That’s it. Could you investigate is this correct or I miss something? We are using 2.70 Unicode.

Best Regards,
Sv.Asenov

We have recently fixed a bug in the CExtGridCellComboBox class. Please update the following method and recompile the library.

void CExtGridCellComboBox::Assign( const CExtGridCell & other )
{
    ASSERT_VALID( this );
    CExtGridCellString::Assign( other );
CExtGridCellComboBox * pCell =
        DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(
            CExtGridCellComboBox,
            ( const_cast < CExtGridCell * > ( &other ) )
            );
    ResetContent();
    if( pCell != NULL )
    {
        // copy cell items
        ITEM_INFO * pItemCurSel = NULL;
        LONG nItem = 0;
        for( nItem = 0; nItem < pCell->m_arrItems.GetSize(); nItem++ )
        {
            ITEM_INFO * pOtherItem = pCell->m_arrItems[ nItem ];
            ITEM_INFO * pNewItem = new ITEM_INFO( *pOtherItem );
            m_arrItems.Add( pNewItem );
            if( pCell->m_pCurSel == pOtherItem )
                pItemCurSel = pNewItem;
        }
        m_bEnumMode = pCell->m_bEnumMode;
        SetImageList( pCell->m_pImageList );
        if( pItemCurSel != NULL )
        {
            nItem = _GetIndexOf( pItemCurSel );
            SetCurSel( nItem );
        }
    } // if( pCell != NULL )
}

Thank you, guys! You’re so fast! I’ll try it and let you know how it works.

Hi,

we have a legacy application that uses MFC CMenu and contextual menus.

We need to replace them with CExtMenuControlBar and CExtPopupWnd.

The way it works now is that we have a treecontrol, depending on the type of the node we select we populate dynamicaly a pop-up menu that we insert in our mainframe menu.

Is there a way to do that with CExtPopupWnd and CExtMenuControlBar ?

To sum up we have something like :

SetMainFrameMenu(OurObj * pObj)
{
CMenu tmp;
tmp.CreatePopupMenu();

pObj->FillPopupMenu(&tmp);

CMenu* pMenu = AfxGetApp()->GetMainWnd()->GetMenu();

pMenu->InsertMenu(nPos, MF_POPUP | MF_BYPOSITION, (UINT)tmp.Detach(), strMenuTitle);
}

What can we do ?

The following article should help you with your question:

Constructing Menus Dynamically at Run Time

I’m trying to use the following code

CExtPopupMenuWnd * p_anExtPopupWnd = new CExtPopupMenuWnd;

p_anExtPopupWnd->CreatePopupMenu(GetSafeHwnd());

p_anExtPopupWnd->UpdateFromMenu(GetSafeHwnd(),&popupMenu, true, true, false);

p_anExtPopupWnd->TrackPopupMenu(0, point.x, point.y);

in this code the popupMenu is a CMenu that I populate dynamicaly.

The issue I’m facing is that the popup menu that get drawn has the size of an icon and its content is empty.

Therefore two questions:

1) can this code work ?

if no, can I populate a CExtPopupMenuWnd based on a CMenu ?

if yes, how can I display correctly the menu ?

some more info

the GetItemCount on the CMenu return 7 but the GetItemCound on the CExtPopupMenuWnd return 0

How can I disable smooth Check box changing? This behaviour appeared in the ProfUIS 2.70, in the version 2.54 there wasn’t such problem.

When our program runs on a terminal server, the animation is extremely slow. With your solution, I can switch off all animation, which is exactly what I needed. Thanks!

How can I do the same with a ribbon bar? I overrode CExtRibbonBar::AnimationClient_OnQueryAnimationParameters, but that function never gets called.

If you do the same with the ribbon bar, this will not be similar to the ribbon bar in Office 2007 applications. The AnimationClient_OnQueryAnimationParameters() virtual method is defined in the CExtAnimationClient class, which is the base class for many Prof-UIS classes. It is also the base class for the CExtBarButton class which implements a button in the toolbar, menu bar, ribbon page and ribbon bar. This means each button in these controls has its own specific animation parameters. It is possible to substitute particular button classes, but it will require some work (to define a button class, to define a class factory for the ribbon node). It is easier to disable all the animations at all:

CExtPaintManager::g_DefAnimationParametersNormal = CExtPaintManager::g_DefAnimationParametersEmpty;
CExtPaintManager::g_DefAnimationParametersSlow = CExtPaintManager::g_DefAnimationParametersEmpty;
CExtPaintManager::g_DefAnimationParametersVerySlow = CExtPaintManager::g_DefAnimationParametersEmpty;

Hi Support,

Is it possible to change the font and enable word wrap for a preview area (a preview area with a RUNTIME_CLASS of CExtGridCellStringDM).

For the word wrap, I tried some commented out code in your ReportGrid sample (ChildView.cpp) but it failed with an assertion error ..
//        pCell = pRGI->PreviewAreaGet( RUNTIME_CLASS(CExtGridCellStringDM) );
//        ASSERT_VALID( pCell );
//        pCell->ModifyStyle( __EGCS_TEXT_ELLIPSIS );
//        //pCell->ModifyStyleEx( __EGCS_EX_WRAP_TEXT ); <-- THIS LINE CAUSES AN ASSERTION ERROR ..
//        pCell->TextSet(
//            _T("Preview area text goes here")
//            //_T("\r\n")
//            //_T("Preview area text goes here")
//            );

Similarly, is it possible to make the text within a preview area italic ? I have tried FontWeightSet(), FontIndexSet() but neither worked?

Thanks in advance .

Dear Sir,

I am using prof uis 2.70 Ribbonbar mdi application.
I keep task bar in auto hide mode on my machin.
When Ribbonbar mdi application is executed I drawn some wave form on view .Initially task bar is hidden when application is run.

Now when i move mouse pointer to up & down of window task bar gets visible & hide . & this will call OnDraw() function of my view class & due to this whatever drawing on view gets vanishes & it is not repainted again.

So either i am doing somthing wrong or is there any problem in prof uis classes.

Please suggest me a solution.
Thanks
