In filter menu for tree grid, the "Sort A to Z" and "Z to A" does not work, it is ignored.

Dear Support,

We have a system with two monitors. We run our application on the right monitor (the secondary) When I save the application it saves all the UI information, but it always opens on the left one.

How can I make it ’remember’ to open the application on the right monitor?

Thanks,

Ron.

My app uses prof UIS 2.92.   It has a main dialog with multiple other modeless dialogs all based on CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog >.  This is a port from MFC CDialog application.  We are in testing for final release and so this becomes critical for me.  When the app is minimized using Windows-M shortcut and then restored using the mouse, the modeless dialogs do not display.  They are in position but do not display.  The app drags them with it so moving the main window causes a move of the modeless windows and they will appear<o:p></o:p>

You should analyze the WINDOWPLACEMENT data (GetWindowPlacement()) while handling the WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED message in the main frame/dialog window.

Is there a message i can handle that tells me the main window (which works) is being restored.  I can then call SetPosition on the other windows.  This should work as the SetPosition is what is called when the main window moves.  This causes the floating windows to redisplay.

Thanks

Dear Support Team,

I think there is a bug in the function CExtComboEditCtrlHook::OnContextMenu before you call the RedrawWindow function. I think you have to include these lines of code like it is in the CExtEditBase::OnContextMenu function:      

if( ! ::IsWindow( m_hWnd ) )
            return;

If I close my app and the content menu of the combo box is still open the app crashed.

Regards and a HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hi,
We are using CExtCheckComboBox, and the check-boxes in the drop-list are not skinned, which looks very off.
Is there a way to match them to the skin? They look like they came from the 90’s...
Thanks,
Ron.

Please find the following line of code in the CExtCheckComboBox::_OnCbLbPreWndProc() method:

    case WM_LBUTTONDOWN:

    case WM_LBUTTONDOWN:
    case WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK:

Yes, its possible to add hovered check box effect. Here is the source code update:

We have not encountered the one pixel draw problem you are reporting. Here is the test project we used for testing:

Fixed. Thank you for this issue report. Here is the source code update: http://www.prof-uis.com/download/forums/tmp/UpdatedComboCheckListForRon.zip

Dear Support,

There is another problem with the new implementation - There is a need to click twice for the status of a check-box to change now. Please fix.

Thanks,

Ron.

We failed to reproduce this. Here is the test project we used to testing:

Dear Support.

I compiled your test application and the same bug happens. Iam working with 2.90 on windows XP SP3.

All you need to do is this:

1. Run the application

2. Press on the arrow to drop the list.

3. Press on the Check-box next to ’B’ (for example...) many times, you will see that the status of the check-box does not change with any click. It seems to be depending on how fast you click on the mouse. If you do it very slow it does not happen, but even in a speed slower then double-click speed it does happen.

Another method of reproducing the bug:

1. Run the application

2. Press on the arrow to drop the list.

3. Press on the check-box of ’A’

4. quickly press on the check-box of ’B’

You will see that ’B’ is not checked.

I have a class that was previously derived from CButton.  Its job is to paint a png file.  It works in non Prof UIS application.  I need to use it in Prof UIS application.  I changed it’s base class to CExtButton from CButton.  When it paints the bitmap from png file paints correctly but the background it paints over is the desktop rather than that of the parent window.  The parent window is derived from

CExtResizableDialog which is skinned and uses a gradient background.  I want by the transparency in the bitmap to show the parent background not the desktop background

I’ve tried to switch from 2.87 to 2.91 and there is bug in CExtPropValDate in property grid. It displays correct date (for example 1/1/2006) when I initially set it, but when I click at month to edit it, it displays date like 1JanJanuary/1/2006 (the "Jan" is selected and I can use up/down arrow to change it and it changes it to 2FebFebruary/1/2006). I guess it is wrong formatter for focused date.

I also want to remove Ofice 2010 themes to keep it at lower size. I’ve commented out //#include "Res2010office\\Res2010office.rc"
in the resource.rc. In static release mode it works, but in debug dll, it throws error at     g_PaintManager->LoadWinXpTreeBox(m_iconTreeBoxExpanded,true);
What else do I need to do to make it working? How can I remove that themes also from theme switcher?
Thank you.

Hello.

A cell button is not drawn like a sample.

I want to draw the cell button such as the sample.

http://ifreeta.dee.cc/20101220/SampleMuGrid3.lzh

Which variant exactly do you need? Left or right? You can use the CExtGridWnd::SiwModifyStyleEx() to apply the __EGWS_EX_PM_COLORS and/or __EGWS_EX_USE_THEME_API styles. The __EGWS_EX_PM_COLORS style makes the grid cells draw their parts using colors from paint manager. I.e. if this style is applied, then grid uses Prof-UIS theme colors. If it’s not applied, then grid uses Windows desktop theme colors. The __EGWS_EX_USE_THEME_API style tells the grid cells they should draw their parts using UxTheme.DLL APIs.

I want to draw the right.

I declared it as follows

However, the button is not drawn.

    m_pMuGrid->SiwModifyStyleEx(
		 __EGBS_EX_HVI_EVENT_CELLS
	    |__EGBS_EX_HVI_HIGHLIGHT_CELL
	    |__EGBS_EX_CELL_TOOLTIPS_OUTER   
	    |__EGBS_EX_CELL_EXPANDING_INNER
	    |__EGWS_EX_PM_COLORS
	    ,
	    0,
	    false
	    );
or
    m_pMuGrid->SiwModifyStyleEx(
		 __EGBS_EX_HVI_EVENT_CELLS
	    |__EGBS_EX_HVI_HIGHLIGHT_CELL
	    |__EGBS_EX_CELL_TOOLTIPS_OUTER   
	    |__EGBS_EX_CELL_EXPANDING_INNER
	    |__EGWS_EX_USE_THEME_API
	    ,
	    0,
	    false
	    );

Thank you for providing the test project. We added the following code into the CSampleMuGridDlg::OnInitDialog() method (after the AddAnchor ( m_pMuGrid->m_hWnd , __RDA_LT, __RDA_LB ); code):

m_pMuGrid->SiwModifyStyleEx( __EGWS_EX_USE_THEME_API, 0, false );

Hi,

I have a CExtListCtrl (ProfUIS 2.91) and want to change the header font.
I use the following code:

    CExtHeaderCtrl &HdrCtrl = List.GetHeaderCtrl();
    HdrCtrl.SetFont(m_FontHeader);

It still just uses the standard font. A test application with a standard CListCtrl using the above code worked perfectly.

Do I need to do anything more to make it work with ProfUIS?

Thanks

Good day,

I recently reeinstalled Visual Studio 2005 on my PC and i haven’t been able to make ProfUIS work.

The following happens just when the ProfUIS dll is loaded:

LDR: LdrpWalkImportDescriptor() failed to probe c:\MyProject\debug\ProfUIS287ud.dll for its manifest, ntstatus 0xc0150002

Debugger:: An unhandled non-continuable exception was thrown during process load

The program ’[1572] Proj.exe: Native’ has exited with code -1072365566 (0xc0150002)

I have been using ProfUIS succesfully prior to this and i wonder what may have caused it.

Thanx in advance.

If you can provide us with remote desktop access, this will let us stop guessing and check what’s wrong.

Did you rebuild your project(s) completely in newly installed Visual Studio? We suspect some of modules were compiled with one version of libraries when you were debugging them with some other version of libraries.

When all CExtGridWnd rows are hidden and you call:

false);

RowUnHideAll(

UpdateStaticFilterValueForOuterRow(-1);

There are several very critical errors in the following method:

BOOL CtoolbartestDlg::OnCmdMsg(UINT nID, INT nCode, void* pExtra, AFX_CMDHANDLERINFO* pHandlerInfo)
{
    CCmdUI * pCmdUI = (CCmdUI*)pExtra;

    // update UI
    if(nCode == CN_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI)
    {
        switch(nID)
        {
            case ID_ADD:
                pCmdUI->Enable();
                // PROF-UIS TECH SUPPORT: if you are going to change pCmdUI, then return TRUE please
                //break; // PROF-UIS TECH SUPPORT: commented

        }

    return CExtResizableDialog::OnCmdMsg(nID, nCode, pExtra, pHandlerInfo);

Thanks for the fix ... perhaps you would post the code here so that other can benefit :)

Sample project sent.

Dear support,

I have the following problem: I need to create a CExtPanelControlBar in order to dock it near other bars, that can be resided by user when it is floating.

So I set IsFixedMode to false.

But when I drag the window, I have an assert in function FixedBar_IsPaintRowBkMode due to the value if IsFixedMode.

Can you please tell me how to create a control bar that is ’Fixed’ when docked (so it acts like CExtPanelControlBar) but can be resized when floating?

Thanks

Laura

Is it possible to implement a RibbonBar in a Document of a MDI or FDI application (instead of the Frame)?

Thanks

Regards

Andrea

I’ve tried various flags but haven’t had muck luck

This is correct. The __EGBS_SFB_FULL_ROWS style defines a full single row selection. The __EGBS_SFM_FULL_ROWS defines a full multi rows selection where the selected region can be one solid range of one or more rows. The __EGBS_SFM_ROWS can be used with any of those two modes and it means selection can contain more than one range of rows (more than one single row range or multiple row range).

You can still select multiple rows using the shift key when using the following flags:

__EGBS_SFB_FULL_ROWS | __EGBS_SFM_ROWS

Hi,

I  would like  to use in my control view which inherits from CextRichContentScrollWnd.

One of the functionality is to handling user events eg. click  on active (link) object in view.

From documentation it looks like I should only implement in my Class, which inherits from CextRichContentScrollWnd, method RciEvent_OnClick.  Additional my class is calling in OnCreate RcsModifyStyle(__EXT_RCS_EVENTS_MOUSE_WND_PROC). But my virtual function  OnClick is not called.

Could you please tell me what I have to do for handle operator events.

BR

I made my  class derived from CextRichGenWnd and method RciEvent_OnClick is still not invoked.

It could be quite big help to have any of sample using reload virtual methods of CextRichContentEvents. Could you give any? Because I did not find any in samples given in install pack of ProfUis.

We are sorry for delaying with this reply. We prepared the following test project for you:

http://www.prof-uis.com/download/forums/My1stHtmlCtrl.zip

I have fond a bug associated with handling operator events.

in your example is enough a little modify html document eg. like that:

    strHTML = _T("<html><style> ")

        _T("my1st { display:inline-block; border: 2px outset grey; background-color:grey; padding:2px; font-weight:bold; ")

        _T(" ui-can-be-hover:yes; ui-can-be-pressed:yes; ui-can-be-focus:yes;  } ")

        _T("my1st:hover { text-decoration:underline; border: 2px outset lightgrey; background-color:lightgrey;  } ")

        _T("my1st:pressed { border: 2px inset grey;  } ")

        _T("</style>")

        _T("<i>We have some text here ... and we have some <br>")

        _T("<my1st id=\"one\">clickable (one,my1st)</my1st> element. We also have other <br>")

        _T("*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>*<br>")

        _T("<my1st id=\"two\">clickable (two,my1st)</my1st> element here. This is another <br>")

        _T("<my1st id=\"third\">clickable (third,my1st)</my1st> element. <br>");

and click for buttons two and third will not to be handled.

Problem is in file extscrollwnd.cpp line 9472

"if( m_nVkPressed == nChar && pRCI_LastSupportingPressed != NULL && pRCI_LastSupportingPressed->CalcEffectiveRect().PtInRect( point ) )"

the last conditional element will return false.

point is not mowed with scroll vector.



Could You please check and correct the problem.

Thank you for the sample. It has given me ability to check what my problem is.



In my opinion it doesn’t work how one can expected. Because it is not enough to reload virtual method and check what kind of item was clicked. To have handled "operator events" in the control derived from CextRichGenWnd is needed to add to html content (document or css) style (eg.  a:pressed {   }). What puts requirement to write document in special way.  Please tell me if I am wrong?

You should write HTML in a special way if you need to create a funny UI like the backstage view in a ribbon bar. You should write classic HTML if you need classic elements like hyperlinks. If you need to handle clicks of more than one element of one type, your elements should have some unique tag parameters. We used ID. You can use NAME or any non-standard tags. I.e. you heed to code some HTML if you want to see something. We provided a simple sample app which explicitly specifies HTML. The ribbon bar’s backstage view control does approximately the same, but it generates HTML on the fly using HTREEITEM based tree data structure describing the logical structure of the backstage view. Please provide us with more details about your task.

You can override the CExtRichContentScrollWnd::OnRcsAnalyzeMouseClickEvent() virtual method to handle any mouse click. You should override the CExtRichGenWnd::RciEvent_OnClick() virtual method to handle click on HTML elements. If the last method is not invoked then you have not loaded HTML into the CExtRichContentScrollWnd control or its window is disabled.
