I use a page Container, and I would like to have an auto hide scrollbar. When I use option __EPCWS_USE_SCROLLBAR_CTRL, the scroll bar is always displayed even if there is nothing to scroll.

is there an option, to have auto hide scrollbar?

do I need to put my container within a CExtScrollWnd?

I would appreciate any ideas around this.

Many thanks in advance.

Auto scroll feature isn’t present in page container. An idea is to use a custom drawing scroll bar like in “PageContainer” sample from profuis samples (see attachment).

Hello! Please, can you provide solution and project files for the Visual Studio 2005? I’m upgraded from version 2.81 to 3.01, my project compiled under Visual Studio 2005. I’m tried to compile Prof-UIS 3.01 in VS 2010, but can’t link Prof-UIS 3.01 library compiled in VS 2010 with my application, which is compiled in VS 2005.

Thank you very much!

We are providing you with a 2005-2008 library.

Just wondering the disposition of this.

Didn’t get a response via e-mail or on the other topic thread, so I thought I’d try in a fresh thread.

We are still working on this.
The developer who could fix this has a hardware limitation at the moment.

A bug in CExtPopupColorMenuWnd::_DoPaint prevents a colour defined as 32-bit from being drawn properly in the popup window. The bug was found in Prof 2.9.2, but I have looked at the source code for 3.0.1 and it appears to still be an issue.

The following is the fix (around line 21812 of ExtPopupMenuWnd.cpp v3.0.1):

This:

        _ppbd.m_bHelperColorCellButton = true;

        PmBridge_GetPM()->PaintPushButton( dc, _ppbd );

        rcItem.DeflateRect( _sizeColorItemSpaces.cx, _sizeColorItemSpaces.cy );

        dc.FillSolidRect( &rcItem, _GetColorValue( nIdx ) );

        dc.Draw3dRect( &rcItem, clrColorBorder,clrColorBorder );

Should be changed to this:

        _ppbd.m_bHelperColorCellButton = true;

        PmBridge_GetPM()->PaintPushButton( dc, _ppbd );

        rcItem.DeflateRect( _sizeColorItemSpaces.cx, _sizeColorItemSpaces.cy );

        const COLORREF fillColour = _GetColorValue(nIdx) & ~0xFF000000;

        dc.FillSolidRect( &rcItem, fillColour );

        dc.Draw3dRect( &rcItem, clrColorBorder,clrColorBorder );

Hi

I am using profuis et profskin in a dll project and it’s working without any problem... I am trying to add the cppnetlib to my project and it seems that it prevent profuis dlls from loading correctly.
I used cppnetlib and profuix in a normal (exe) project and its working well.
I am using vs 2013 and profuis 3.0

the errors I have are :

First assertion :

Program: C:\Windows\system32\mfc120d.dll
File: f:\dd\vctools\vc7libs\ship\atlmfc\src\mfc\dllinit.cpp
Line: 687


Second :
Program: C:\Windows\system32\mfc120d.dll
File: f:\dd\vctools\vc7libs\ship\atlmfc\src\mfc\dllmodul.cpp
Line: 130

Third and exit when I try to call a skinned dialog in the ExtResiazableDialog.cpp :
bool bUpdateBarsOnThisMsg = false;
    if( m_bEnabledControlBarUpdate )
    {
        CWinApp * pApp = AfxGetApp();
            ASSERT( pApp != NULL );
        BOOL bIdleMsg = pApp->IsIdleMessage(
#if _MFC_VER < 0x700
            &pApp->m_msgCur
#else
            &(::AfxGetThreadState()->m_msgCur)
#endif
            );
        if( bIdleMsg )
            bUpdateBarsOnThisMsg = true;
    }

pApp is null so the program continue breaking :
Second Chance Assertion Failed: File f:\dd\vctools\vc7libs\ship\atlmfc\src\mfc\winocc.cpp, Line 201

Do you have any advice to how i can resolve this?? it may be a preprocessor definition I ommit or may be the ccpnetlib is disabling a preprocessor used in profuix?

in my program i am using :
    CExt_ProfUIS_ModuleState::InitExtension(AfxGetStaticModuleState());
    CExt_ProfSkin_ModuleState::InitExtension(AfxGetStaticModuleState());


Thank you

Hello

a.) Is it possible to have e.g. one maindialog having a ribbonbar and then start another dialog showing a different ribbonbar. Within our solution we get heap corruption when deleting the second ribbonbar and the solution breaks or when closing the second dialog, the first ribbonbar gets disturbed and no longer gets paint correctly.

b.) Futhermore does a ribbonbar work inside any type of CWnd derived class. Or is there need to have a specific CFrameWnd or CDialog type of class as parent ?

Dear SupportTeam


Hi.

Application becomes slow overall where it was upgraded to Prof-UIS3.01 from Prof-UIS2.87
(This is in the release version)
For example, when a window becomes active , when a child window is created ... etc.

As a result of investigating the cause, it became quickly by replacing the source of the Prof-UIS3.01 from Prof-UIS2.87 the location of the following ExtPaintManager.cpp.


Prof-UIS3.01 ExtPaintManager.cpp(3283)

bool CExtPaintManager::NcFrame_IsSupported(
	const CWnd * pWnd,
	LPARAM lParam // = 0L
	) const
{
	ASSERT_VALID( this );
	lParam;
	if( pWnd->GetSafeHwnd() == NULL )
		return false;
//	if( g_PaintManager.m_DWM.IsCompositionEnabled() )
//		return false;
//	if( ! g_PaintManager.m_UxTheme.IsNonClientThemed() )
//		return false;
//	if( ! g_PaintManager.m_UxTheme.IsControlsThemed() )
//		return false;
//	if( ! g_PaintManager.m_UxTheme.IsAppThemed() )
//		return false;
 	return true;
}

Prof-UIS2.87 ExtPaintManager.cpp(3587)

bool CExtPaintManager::NcFrame_IsSupported(
	const CWnd * pWnd,
	LPARAM lParam // = 0L
	) const
{
	ASSERT_VALID( this );
	pWnd;
	lParam;
	return false;
}

Incidentally,I asked earlier
http://www.prof-uis.com/prof-uis/tech-support/support-forum/the-frame-and-icon-of-a-child-window-are-strange-70957.aspx
This will also be solved by modifying as described above


Question1
CExtPaintManager::NcFrame_IsSupported() function do they determine what support?

Question2
If we made a modification of the above, any problems happens elsewhere?

Question3
Please tell me solutions to problem other than the above.
(For example, how to set up a regular that do not support NCFrame)

Dear support,

Hi.

When upgraded to Prof-UIS3.01 from Prof-UIS2.87, as shown in the following figure, the frame and icon of the child window became strange.
(Each theme of VisualStuido is strange similarly. The theme of Office is no problem. )

Please tell me the conceivable causes for that.

Hi

We encountered a possible access to class member with a zero pointer reference.

It happens in method BOOL CExtResizableDialog::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) where you just access ::AfxGetThread()->m_nThreadID.

As Microsoft states, since C++ .NET this version can return zero (0) in case no thread was found (before it internally called ’AfxGettApp()’ in that case).

For the method GetKeyboardLayout, for which the thread ID is used in this case, accepts an ID of zero (0) as parameter value, we changed the code to the following:

                    DWORD threadID(0);

                    if(::AfxGetThread())

                    {

                        threadID = ::AfxGetThread()->m_nThreadID;

                    }

                    HKL hKeyboardLayout = ::GetKeyboardLayout(threadID);

The  last ProfUIS version we checked this with is: 3.0

Best regards and thank you for your attention.

Dear support,


We have developed a kind of paint software. However, it can not to write a curve by a delay of 0.5 seconds that occur in the following places.
ExtNcFrame.cpp(1562) :

 UINT nSHR = (UINT)::SHAppBarMessage( ABM_GETSTATE, &_data );

As a result of investigating, delay has occurred by the following flow.
1. Application that we are developing is to display the mouse position in the status bar.
Because of this, the application running the SetPaneText () whenever the mouse moves.
2. By SetPaneText(), CExtStatusControlBar :: OnPaint () occurs frequently.
3. By the frequent occurrence of OnPaint (), WM_GETMINMAXINFO occurs continuously.
4. WM_GETMINMAXINFO occurs slightly after the window is switched, a delay of about 0.5 seconds occurs in SHAppBarMessage().
      (0.001 seconds in other cases)


Question1
Problem is solved by the following, but What is the affect in this case?

ExtStatusControlBar.cpp

 if( pWndParentStatus != NULL )
 {
  WINDOWPLACEMENT _wp;
  ::memset( (void*)&_wp, 0, sizeof(WINDOWPLACEMENT) );
  _wp.length = sizeof(WINDOWPLACEMENT);
  pWndParentStatus->GetWindowPlacement( &_wp );
  if(  _wp.showCmd != SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED
   //&& (pWndParentStatus->GetStyle()&WS_BORDER) != 0
   )
  {
   MINMAXINFO _mmi;
   ::memset( &_mmi, 0, sizeof(MINMAXINFO) );
   CExtPaintManager::monitor_parms_t _mp;
   CExtPaintManager::stat_GetMonitorParms( _mp, (CWnd*)pWndParentStatus );
   _mmi.ptMaxPosition.x = _mp.m_rcWorkArea.left;
   _mmi.ptMaxPosition.y = _mp.m_rcWorkArea.top;
   _mmi.ptMaxTrackSize.x = _mp.m_rcWorkArea.Width(); // ::GetSystemMetrics( SM_CXMAXTRACK );
   _mmi.ptMaxTrackSize.y = _mp.m_rcWorkArea.Height(); // ::GetSystemMetrics( SM_CYMAXTRACK );
   _mmi.ptMinTrackSize.x = ::GetSystemMetrics( SM_CXMINTRACK );
   _mmi.ptMinTrackSize.y = ::GetSystemMetrics( SM_CYMINTRACK );
   _mmi.ptMaxSize.x = _mmi.ptMaxTrackSize.x;
   _mmi.ptMaxSize.y = _mmi.ptMaxTrackSize.y;
   //if( ((CWnd*)pWndParentStatus)->SendMessage( WM_GETMINMAXINFO, 0, LPARAM(&_mmi) ) == 0 )
   //{
   // if(  _mmi.ptMinTrackSize.x < _mmi.ptMaxTrackSize.x
   //  || _mmi.ptMinTrackSize.y < _mmi.ptMaxTrackSize.y
   //  )
   // {
   //  GetClientRect( &rcGrip );
   //  rcGrip.left = rcGrip.right - ::GetSystemMetrics( SM_CXVSCROLL );
   //  dc.ExcludeClipRect( &rcGrip );
   //}
   } // if( ((CWnd*)pWndParentStatus)->SendMessage( WM_GETMINMAXINFO, 0, LPARAM(&_mmi) ) == 0 )
  } // if( _wp.showCmd != SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED ...
 } // if( pWndParentStatus != NULL )

Question2
Please tell me how to resolve other than Question1.

Hi
The time frame for another solution of this problem is about Sept 10,2014.
Prof-UIS Support.

I’ve translated my application to two langages. Now I use

 g_ResourceManager->AllowCustomLang(true);
	g_ResourceManager->SetLangIdDesired(...); 

to set the language. The problem is that now the language settings in applied not only to strings saved in resources, but also to number formats used to display currency and numeric values.
I think these settings should be separated, because nobody is able to translate application to all languages so many users wants to select some language close to their region, but have number formats of their region, set in the windows control panel.
Any idea about this?

You have bug in void CExtEditSystemCurrency::_Init() at multiple places:

C:\work\Prof-UIS\Src\ExtEdit.cpp(4484):			g_ResourceManager->GetLocaleInfo( LOCALE_INEGNUMBER, &cNegNumFormatIndex, sizeof( cNegNumFormatIndex ) / sizeof(TCHAR) );
  C:\work\Prof-UIS\Src\ExtEdit.cpp(4515):		g_ResourceManager->GetLocaleInfo( LOCALE_IDIGITS, &cNoOfDigitsAfterDecimal, sizeof( cNoOfDigitsAfterDecimal ) / sizeof(TCHAR) );
  C:\work\Prof-UIS\Src\ExtEdit.cpp(4519):		g_ResourceManager->GetLocaleInfo( LOCALE_ILZERO, &cDisplayLeadingZeros, sizeof( cDisplayLeadingZeros ) / sizeof(TCHAR) );
  C:\work\Prof-UIS\Src\ExtEdit.cpp(7172):		g_ResourceManager->GetLocaleInfo( LOCALE_ICURRENCY, &cPosCurFormatIndex, sizeof( cPosCurFormatIndex ) / sizeof(TCHAR) );
  C:\work\Prof-UIS\Src\ExtEdit.cpp(7209):		g_ResourceManager->GetLocaleInfo( LOCALE_ICURRDIGITS, &cNoOfDigitsAfterDecimal, sizeof( cNoOfDigitsAfterDecimal ) / sizeof(TCHAR) );
  C:\work\Prof-UIS\Src\ExtEdit.cpp(7213):		g_ResourceManager->GetLocaleInfo( LOCALE_ILZERO, &cDisplayLeadingZeros, sizeof( cDisplayLeadingZeros ) / sizeof(TCHAR) );

You are incorrectly providing buffer for the output. You have correctly implemented getting value of LOCALE_INEGCURR for negative currency format, but incorrectly LOCALE_ICURRENCY so the edit box displays positive numbers incorrectly.

We need more (specific) information. What is going wrong with LOCALE_ICURRENCY ?
Prof-UIS Support.

Problem is with the buffer size, you need to provide 2 character buffer because of trailing null character, just check how do you get value of LOCALE_INEGCURR

I am trying to make a preview image CExtControlBar in an MDI application that maintains aspect while resizing, is that possible, or should I try a different approach?

Hi

Regarding CExtGridWnd



Background:

We have a CExtGridWnd-derived class with different types of cells.  The cells in one or more columns have different types depending on the choice from a previous combo-box column.



Now when a grid cell column assumes a CExtGridCellString type, it looks normal and the user is able to edit it. 



Problem:

But one thing we notice is that the left and right arrow keys are not operational (as when editing an edit cell, you want to go back a few characters using the left arrow key).  Is there a particular flag in CExtGridCellString that would enable the left and right arrow keys?

Dominic
In ProfUIS_Controls demo application from Profuis samples you have an entire column of CExtGridCellString type (text column). The left and right arrow are working just fine. Please compare with your code if the arrows in ProfUIS_Controls are working for you.

I have run into a problem with the title bar on skinned child windows in an MDI program. 



The child class is declared as:



class CChildMyFrame : public CExtNCW < CMDIChildWnd >



In some situations, I need to turn off the title bar to the child windows, and other times I need it turned on.  I was able to turn off everything on the bar including the title, but I couldn’t get it to go away.  According to everything I found, turning off WS_CAPTION turns off the bar.



I set up an experimental Prof-UIS program and found that I could shut off the bar with ModifyStyle when the chile frame was not declared with CExtNCW.  When the CExtNCW was added, the test program had the same behavior I saw in my application. 



There appears to be something in CExtNCW that needs to be called to turn off the title bar.



Examining the Prof-UIS code, it looks like the following should work to dynamically shut off the title bar:



    CWnd * pWndFrameImpl = (CWnd *)NcFrameImpl_GetFrameWindow();

    pWndFrameImpl->ModifyStyle(WS_CAPTION, 0, SWP_FRAMECHANGED);

   

But it doesn’t do anything visible.



How do I shut off the title bar for MDI child frames skinned with CExtNCW?



Thanks,

Bill

Seems that CExtNCW problems are more than one ;).

Overwrite “NcFrameImpl_IsSupported” in “CChildMyFrame” like this:

bool CChildMyFrame::NcFrameImpl_IsSupported() const
{
if (!__super::NcFrameImpl_IsSupported())
return false;

if ((GetStyle()&WS_CAPTION) == 0);
return false;

return true;
}

Hi,



I am trying to solve the problem about text being clipped in high DPI screens particularly 144 DPI. 

I have downloaded your latest samples for ProfUIS 3.0.1.  I have two of your demo applications for example: FilteredGrids and Prof-UIS Controls using tab containers. 



In 144 DPI, the tab texts are clipped although there is a type of tab text (in the Prof-UIS Controls demo lower portion) that does not get clipped.



I want to know if there is a quick fix for this, one that I can change in your source code instead of overriding the OnTabWndDrawItem and changing the font size in my own code.

The following are the demo applications mentioned, in 144 DPI -- notice the tab texts being clipped although in the second example the lower tab texts are not clipped.



Thanks,

Dominic (developer)
