In a grid with several columns, how can I get the focus to change to the top of the next column when the down key is pressed at the bottom of a row?

Hello,

I think you have a wrong docking behaviour in Prof-UIS. I can reproduce this with all samples wich uses the autohide features.

I hope I can describe the problem:
I have two resizeable controlbars combined in on container like in visualstudio. No I close the container and both get closed. In Visualstudio only the current tab will be closed. Next is if I now show one of the tabs (bars) from the menu only the wanted bar get shown. But if I then say hide the bar the bar get grouped within the old groupd and all tabs are shown in the frames autohide area.

You can reproduce this in the Prof-Studio Sample App doing the following steps:

1. Open the Solution Explorer
2. Open the Class View
3. Integrate the Class View as a tab in the Solution Explorer.
4. Close the solution Explorer over the X of the Bar. (All Bars get closed -> In Visualstudio 2005 only the Solution Explorer gets closed)
5. Open the Solution Explorer
6. Hide the Bar with the Solutionexplorer (As you can see the Class View is now also visible in the autohide area)

Is this a bug or feature I don’t have understand ?

Please tell me what to do to fix that strange behaviour.

There is a problem with the CExtComboBox when in custom draw style, that the drop-down arrow flickers.

I reported this problem a couple of months ago, sent you sample application and clips about this problem.

We have to release a product, and this is one of the main unresolved issues in it. Can you please fix this problem?

Thanks,

Ron.

We have just uploaded the latest code. Sorry for the delay. Please do not publish links to our ftp server.

We have already seen this problem but is was fixed. Maybe the Prof-UIS library you downloaded from FTP doesn’t contain the bug-fix yet. We have just uploaded the latest code, so please download it again and let us know whether the problem persists there.

Yes - this problem is solved in the 5-11 version.

In version 2.83, we already fixed a similar issue, so probably the problem is eliminated. Would you download the latest version from our FTP and try it?

Dear Sir./Madam.,



I successfully used your system to develop my software. To ensure English usage, I use the following at the beginning of the system:

g_ResourceManager->AllowCustomLang( true );

g_ResourceManager->SetLangIdDesired( __EXT_MFC_LANG_ID_ENGLISH_US );

The developed software works pretty good on my computer (English WinXP). However, when I bring my software to some other systems for example a Chinese WinXP. It turns out the font becomes bigger and therefore quite some of my CExtLabel objects are not displayed correctly (the texts simply run out of the boundary and therefore the ends are not displayed).



Do you have any solutions for this? I want my system to systematically perform the same under different language OS!



Thanks very much!

Could you send us a stripped version of your project that reproduces the problem so that we can help you in a more efficient way?

The dialog and its child control sizes are measured in DLUs dialog units based on font parameters. So, the label text should fit the label window on any system. But if you change the label font programmatically, the text can become larger than the label window. In any case, this problem does not depend on the resource manager. You simply configured the resource manager to load English resources regardless of the default Windows locale settings. This problem should hide somewhere else what is not discussed in your message. We need more details about the labels and dialogs in your project.

Thanks! But how can I send the project to you?

Please send it to support@prof-uis.com.

Thanks! The problem was solved. It’s a bug in VS2008.

Hi,

We have been successful in creating Prof-UI tool bars in many of the User interfaces of our application. We have designed the tool bar icons with the size 20x20. However the Prof-UI enables the loading of only 16x16  size tool bar icons. Re-doing the the icons seem to be a very time consuming task. is there a possibility to load 20x20 bit map icon onto the prof-ui tool bars through customization of Prof-UI tool bars

Thanks,

Howard

Hello,
a tester of my program has reported a bug with a video. You need the Techsmith Screen Capture Codec avaiable on www.techsmith.com on the downloadpage. You can download the Video here:

Version: 2.83 Beta

I don’t understand that,
also the SDIDOCVIEW sample has this strange behaviour.

What I mean is:

I have a Controlbar with two tabs insinde (two controlbars combined) now I close that bar. If I now show one of the bars via CFrameWnd::ShowControlBar method only the one get shown. If I now hide the bar both are visible ....

I regards

We are sorry for providing you with not completely correct information about CFrameWnd::ShowControlBar(). In fact it really affects only one bar. If you need two bars in tabs constantly one near each other, then you can create one bar with a tab page container window inside.

I use in my project ProfUIS 2.83. Now I found bug: CExtCheckBox is not change own status on mouse click.

Hello,

I have found a spellingerror in the german translation of Prof-UIS. If you open the contextmenü of the Ribbon there where four Entries. The first three are correct because they correspond to the quickaccess bar. The last one after the seperator belogs to the RibbonBar.

You say: "Schnellstartleiste minimieren"

But the "Schnellstartleiste" is the Quick Access Bar. The RibbonBar should be named: "Multifunktionsleiste" so the Text should be:

Multifunktionsleiste minimieren.

Unfortunately we do not have a German speaking developer in our team at the moment. We will re-direct your comment to our German translator or, if you have a corrected version of Prof-UIS resources, then you can send this .rc file to us.

Hi.

In http://www.prof-uis.com/prof-uis/tech-support/general-forum/cexttreegridwnd-skinablig-59434.aspx you predict about CExtTreeGridWnd skinning. So I already have ProfUIS 2.83 Beta. I try found SkinItems with descriptions of glyph for CExtTreeGridWnd. But I can`t find. Help me, please.

Hm... I found header skinnabling only... Skinnabling for cells is not supported?

It’s not a problem to skin the background of data cells, but in this case, some windows like editors, list boxes, trees and grids should have a standard, well recognizable look.

Hi all

I am looking for the following features on grid cells:

- Limiting the minimum and maximum values of number or spin cells

- Modifying the fractional part of number/spin cells with the spin control

- Masking input and output text, i.e. "99.99.99 E" (like coordinates)

Is any of these features already available --> did I miss something?

If not, are such features planned?

Or can I program this on my own with subclassing?

Regards - Bioter

Thank you for that.I managed to get 1) working. I also used the OnInplaceControlTextInputVerify in order to limit values entered manually. 

For 2) and 3) I guess that I will need more info.

Is there a way to influence the display of the text while the inplace editor is active?

I made my CellUpDown class displaying numbers like "22.00", but while editing with the keyboard, it always shows "22", without the trailing zeroes.  I initialize the cell like this:

Regards - Peter 

1. The number cell string representation depends on the locale settings and can differ in different OSes. Therefore in the cell inplace editor the value always have the standardized format. But if you want to have the text in the inplace editor exactly the same as you see when the cell editor is not active just override the OnQueryTextForInplaceControl virtual method in the following way:

void CYourGridCellNumber::OnQueryTextForInplaceControl( 
            CExtSafeString & strCopy 
            ) const
{
            ASSERT_VALID( this );
            if(                     IsInvisible()
                        ||          IsUndefined() 
                        ||          IsEmpty()
                        )
            {
                        strCopy = _T("");
                        return;
            }

            TextGet( strCopy, this );

            // change the decimal separator (point) with the value, 
            // specified in the locale information 
            CExtSafeString sDecimalSep;
            CExtGridCellNumberBase::OnQueryDecimalSeparator( sDecimalSep );
            strCopy.Replace( _T("."), sDecimalSep );
            strCopy.Replace( _T(","), sDecimalSep );
}

Hi,

I had earlier requested for following help  

’for a  MFC CListCtrl  how do I replace the default scroll bar by a Prof-UI Scroll bar (CExtScrollBar)’

For this you had replied that this feature is going to be provided in the upcoming v2.83 release of Prof-UI. Can we have a beta version of this release.

We have applied Prof-UI changes to majority of the interfaces and still have many of the list ctrls and other controls with scroll bars only in  older colors. We are unable to apply the Prof-UI changes on these scroll bars. Hope the Beta version of v2.83 of Prof-ui will help us in enabling prof-ui changes to these scroll bars also. Please provide us with the links of this  beta version. Are there any upgradation charges, if so we are ready to pay for this. This is a very urgent requirement for us. 

Thanks, 

Howard  

Hi, Thanks for sending this sample application with the latest scroll bar dll. This is exactly what we are looking for. We have a product release by 1 week of june with most of the coloring done on our application UI except the scroll bar. We request you to provide us with the source code for this latest scroll bar dll which will enable us finish our task.This is very important and urgent to us and we are ready to pay for this upgradation 

Thanks,

Howard

Hello,

two more questions about the class: CExtTabPageContainerWhidbeyWnd.

1. The inactive Whidbeytabs in Visual Studio 2005 are drawn with a gradient. How can I enable this behaviour.
2. The selected Tabpage in Visual Studio is drawn with a Bold font. I have set SelectionBoldSet(true); in my OnCreate of the CExtTabPageContainerWhidbeyWnd but it doesn’t have any effect.

I have 2.83 Beta.

regards
Sebastian Leopold

Here is the screenshot of Whidbey tabs made under the CExtPaintManagerStudio2005 theme. As you can see the inactive tabs have a gradient. So it is completely unclear what you actually mean in question 1.

Hello,
is there a way to get an event when the user do a rightclick on a TAB of a CExtTabPageContainerWnd. I want to show a Contextmenü when the user does a Rightclick on such a Tab Button.

In our application some of our features require a separate license to utilize.  These features may have a toolbar associated with them.  If I save my document to a file, we save the state of the workspace as well, using your control bar serialize functions.  If we were to take that document file and give it to another user, who doesn’t have one of the licenses required, he is missing one of the toolbars.  Upon calling the serialization functions during the document load, we get exceptions that the current number of toolbars in the application does not match what was serialized, and the loading fails.  Is there a way in the Prof-UIS system to indicate that a toolbar/docked window is optional?  Save its state, but if it doesn’t exist on reload, just ignore it and load the rest?

Hello.

I want to set a limit to the character string input of the cell.

Should I elaborate it by oneself?

Hi,

What is the general procedure to dynamically load a tool bar, i.e. dynamically load different icons within a tool bar depending on the usage of the application. For Example, in my application I have three panes in the client area, (a) Graphics pane (b) text pane (c) result pane. These three panes share a common tool bar. But depending on the choice/selection of the panes by the user the toolbar gets updated with different tool bar icons. We tried the implementation of this by  LoadToolBar( IDR_TOOLBAR1/TOOLBAR2/TOOLBAR3). Whne we do this the tool bar resources (icons) disappear and reappears only when the tool bar is manually moved. 

Thanks

Hi,

We use CExtScrollBar and tried attaching it to the Cwnd ctrl. At this time scroll bar seem to move horizontally and vertically when we click the arrow. I presume that this is being addressed in forthcoming release of v2.83.

If so is it possible to download any beta version of  Prof-UI 2.83, links please

Thanks

Hello,
I can show a close button with ShowBtnCloseSet(true). But how can I react on this button ???? It is very important that I can react on that.
