Is it possible to have 2 buttons in a grid cell, eg: __EBTT_DROPDOWN & __EBTT_UPDOWN*

Thanks in advance

Hi,
I would like to change the colour of the border of the main fram of our application.
Exactly I would like to let the colour change between two colours every second.

I already searched the forum and played around with WM_NCPAINT, but didn’t find the correct way.

Could you please help me !

Thanks a lot.

BR,

I have an MDI application.  I want to show a list of the currenly open MDI windows, so I call SetMdiWindowPopupName which does show all the open MDI windows.  Is their a simple method that I can use to pick and choose which MDI windows I want to show if I don’t want to show all of them?

I’ve added a button menu to CExtPropertyGridToolBar but it is displayed above the toolbar.  How do I make it appear below?

Thanks.

If a toolbar is top-docked in its parent window, then menus displayed from its windows are bottom-oriented. The same opposite rule is applied to the toolbars docked to other sides. How are you initializing your button and its menu?

bump!

I meant the position of the menu!

Thanks in advance

Hi,

In my application, I’m using a CExtGridCellSystemNumber in a CExtPropertyGridCtrl. I set a range m_pCell->RangeSet(0.0, 1.0) to the cell, but when I enter a value out of range, the cell is flicking and the application is frozen for about 10 secondes ! I already used this outside a PropertyGrid. Is it a bug specific to the PropertyGrid ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I tried also with your sample, and I got the same strange behavior : in the cell, erase previous value and type "10000". When the fourth 0 is typed, the value seems corrected to something like "10e0" many times, and then corrected to "10000" (max is 1000). It is finally corrected to "1000" when focus is loosed. It’s faster than in my application : in your sample the value is switching for 1 second, in my application it took 10 seconds.

If it can help you : I’m using VisualStudio 6.0, with Prof-UIS v2.92, on Windows 7 32bits, french language. I compiled with your sample modified according to your previous message. No other modification.

Thanks.

Dear support team,

like most of your customers, I have all my progs written with traditional menus. But as time goes by, I want now to switch to ribbons. Waht I’m missing ist a short tutorial, how to do this. Starting with a traditional MDI application, replacing now menu with ribbon. Not starting a new project!

And, like most of your customers, I’m not writing progs for myself. So I have to take care of existing customers, customers, they are using my progs for years. And like most of teh customers, they want to have new things, but don’t loose features.

So, what I want to do? Updating my existing progs, adding ribbon feature. But keep also old meu. Not displayed at the same time, but switchable.

You have articles, how to come from CDialg to CExtResizableDialog. Do you also have a description to come from menu to ribbon?

TIA

Willi

Hi!

I made a simple example using the CExtShellDialogFile

void CTestProfUISView::OnFileOpen ()

{

    CString strPathName;



    CExtShellDialogFile dlgShellFile (NULL, CExtShellDialogFile::__EFDT_OPEN_SINGLE);

    dlgShellFile.m_comboFileTypes.SetFilter(

        _T("Bitmap files (*.bmp)|*.bmp|")

        _T("All files (*.*)|*.*|")

        _T("|")

        );

    dlgShellFile.m_nInitialFileTypeIndex = 0;

    dlgShellFile.m_bFilesMustExist = true;

    if( dlgShellFile.DoModal() != IDOK )

        return;

    ASSERT( dlgShellFile.m_arrRetValNames.GetSize() == 1 );

    strPathName = LPCTSTR(dlgShellFile.m_arrRetValNames[0]);

}

On some PC’s ist working perfectly but on some the application goes to not responding for about 4 Minutes when pressing the Open or Cancel Button.

Then I build the BitmapEditor-u.exe and now it gets crazy :-(

on some PC’s my Example is working and the Bitmap Editor goes to not responding and on others the Bitmap Editor is working and my Example goes to not responding.

The PC’s I used for the test are 3 IPC’s with Win7 Pro 32 Bit SP1 E8500 3.16GHZ 2GB Ram -> different results even on these 3 PC’s.

One DELL Precision M6500 Win7 Pro 64Bit SP1 X920 2.0GHz 8GB Ram

One DELL Optiplex 745 Win7 Enterprise 32 Bit SP1 6600 2.4GHz 2GB Ram

All Pc’s are up to date Feb 19.2012

Different results I get also when I run the examples from a local drive or a network drive.

The BitmapEditor and my Example are compiled with VS2010 Unicode Dynamic Link to MFC this is what we use for all of our applications.

Do you have any Idea how we can resolve this massive Bug?

Hi!



When I put in the following Sleep() Statements then the Open and Cancel Buttons of the CExtShellDialogFile dialog are working. That means, after the dialog is closed, I can immediatly reopen the dialog.



But that’s not a solution it’s only the evidence that someting is completely wrong!



ExtControlShell.cpp Line 461



        _SL.Unlock();

        _SLTP.Unlock();



        Sleep (50);    // Inserted this Sleep



        ::WaitForSingleObject( hThread, INFINITE );



ExtControlShell.cpp Line 472



        _SL.Unlock();

        _SLTP.Unlock();



        Sleep (50);    // Inserted this Sleep



        ::WaitForSingleObject( m_eventResponse, INFINITE );





But when closing the application it hangs in crtexe.c on Line 568 for at least 2 minutes.



I will not investigate this problem. I think this is your job!

You put Sleep(50) into the thread procedure which watches folder modifications and lets shell controls to update their lists of displayed shell items automatically. If the Sleep(50) affects the behavior of shell controls in your app, you simply opened the shell file dialog in a folder which contains frequently updated content.

Hi!

Your answer does not fit to my Problem.

At least the 3 IPC’s (Industrial PC’s) have no Network Connections, no Printer, no A: or B: diskette drivers and there was no CD in the CD Drive. The only thing they have is a C: and D: wich are partitions on the local HD.

- This 3 PC’s have the same Hardware, Win7 Pro 32 Bit

1. IPC BitmapEditor is working correct, my TestProf-UIS is not responding

2. IPC BitmapEditor and my TestProf-UIS working correct

3. IPC BitmapEditor is not responding, my TestProf-UIS is working

Then I made a Test on my Office PC with 7 network connected drives and 2 Network Printers. BitmapEditor and my TestProf-UIS working correct.

The CExtShellFileDialog is not responding after I pressed the Open or Cancel Button on the CExtShellFileDialog and NOT when I open the Dialog!

So I dont think its a problem with with the shell enumerations. For me it looks like a thread synchronsiation problem that would explain the different results on PC’s with the same Hardware.

We have two unanswered questions. One is posted on Dec 22, 2011 and the other is Feb 10, 2012. If you don’t have any answers, at least you can reply and say that you are working on it. We even e-mailed you about the problems but you did not reply.
We have a lot of customers and we are facing big troubles because of these kinds of problems. We try to solve some of them by our own but in some cases we have to get support from you. And when the support comes very late or doesn’t even come, we are placed in difficult circumstances. So, once again we are asking you to provide solutions to the problems we have faced.

It looks like a lost notification. We support only persistently linked spin windows and edit controls. If you need to disable "spinning" for some editor, please hide both editor and spin windows and show another second editor at the same location.

I am on a Windows 7 machine using Profuis 293 with multiple monitors

When I maximize on my main monitor the form does change size, but there is a border around the form and does not take up the whole screen. (Does not look maximized)

When I maximize on my left (other) monitor the form does maximize correctly.

I am using you "Ribbon Bar" example. 

Hi,

I try to put my own ContextMenu to the CExtComboBox, but up to now I couldn’t find the correct place where to exchange the standard Context Menu with my own.

How can I do this?

Thanks

Hello,

ist there a way to change the height of a CExtHeaderCtrl?

best regards,

Tobias

We constrain some cell values which works just fine, however, when PropertyStoreSynchronize() is called the cell displays the previous un-constrained value.  What am I missing?

The CWidgetManagerPropertiesCtrl::OnPgcInputComplete() method invokes the PropertyStoreSynchronize() API just for particular cell types and without performing any additional actions. You need to invoke PropertyStoreSynchronize() API only if your code changes some properties and needs to make changes visible in tree grid windows inode property grid control. In all the other cases property grid control takes care about performing any value synchronizations. The CWidgetManagerPagePropertyValueHeaderSize::Apply() should invoke the parent class Apply() method finally - not initially. Please fix this.

The problem occurs using the standard CExtGridCellUpDown class and not one derived from it.

I got it working by deriving from CExtGridCellUpDown & contsraining the value there.  I think its a better solution as the up/down buttons are now enabled/disabled.

Could you check if you specified IMPLEMENT_ExtGridCell_Clone in grid cell declarations?
This is discussed here:
http://www.prof-uis.com/prof-uis/tech-support/feature-articles/prof-uis-grid-brief-overview.aspx

Is it possible to test whether the value has changed in OnPgcInputComplete() ?

Thanks :)

I have a control bar which is similar to the MDI_DynamicInnerOuterBars example (I started with this sample to add the bars) with an inner bar derived from CExtResizableDialog on the panel.  I have a number of controls on the panel including some edit boxes with spinner controls attached.  Some of the edit boxes and related spinners are always on, others are turned on by various conditions in the program.  I turn the controls on and off with calls to ShowWindow() and EnableWindow(). 



The spinners that are always on have no problems, but the spinners that can be turned on and off sometimes are not visible when they should be enabled and visible, but they appear when I mouse over them.  When the spinners are doing this behavior, the related edit box, and other controls enabled at the same time are visible without any issues.



The only difference in the different spinner controls is some are always enabled and always visible, and some are made visible and invisible in the program and show up invisible sometimes.   I have tried just making the controls invisible with ShowWindow(), but I get the same behavior.



All controls are declared with the Prof UIS functions.



I can send some screen shots if you want.  I haven’t tried reproducing this in a stripped down program yet.  I was hoping you knew what was going on.

For the sake of someone else who may run into this in the future, I fixed this problem.

The control was inside a Group Box pretty much for aesthetics.  In the .RC file, the Group Box was listed first followed by the edit box and finally the spin control.  For some reason when these controls are made invisible and then made visible, if the Group Box comes first in the .RC file, the spinner will be invisible until moused over when it is made visible.

I moved the Group Box below the Edit and Spinner in the .RC file and it now enables fine.

Bill

I didn’t get notified when you answered this.  Thanks for responding.

The spinner and editor are both disabled and made invisible at the same time.  I never have just an edit box with no spinner.  Would the order with which they were made invisible or visible have something to do with it?

Bill

We support only persistently linked spin windows and edit controls. If you need to disable "spinning" for some editor, please hide both editor and spin windows and show another second editor at the same location.

Using version 2.91.

If I create a CExtGridCellDateTime as follows:

CExtGridCellDateTime* pCell = 
     STATIC_DOWNCAST(
          CExtGridCellDateTime,
          pGrid->GridCellGet(
               nCol++,
               nRow,
               0L,
               0L,
               RUNTIME_CLASS(CExtGridCellDateTime)
               )
          );
if (pCell != NULL) {
     COleDateTime dtValue;
     dtValue.ParseDateTime(paramValue);
     pCell->SetMode(CTcsGridCellDateTime::all);
     pCell->SetTimeFormat(CTcsGridCellDateTime::h24);
     pCell->SetDateTime(dtValue);
}

Thank you for reporting this issue. Please drop us an e-mail to the support mail box at this web site so we will provide you with the source code update.

Should be correct this time:

CExtGridCellDateTime* pCell = 
     STATIC_DOWNCAST(
          CExtGridCellDateTime,
          pGrid->GridCellGet(
               nCol++,
               nRow,
               0L,
               0L,
               RUNTIME_CLASS(CExtGridCellDateTime)
               )
          );
if (pCell != NULL) {
     COleDateTime dtValue;
     dtValue.ParseDateTime(paramValue);
     pCell->SetMode(CExtGridCellDateTime::all);
     pCell->SetTimeFormat(CExtGridCellDateTime::h24);
     pCell->SetDateTime(dtValue);
}

Hi,

I just purchased prof-ui v2.93 subscription yesterday. After installation, when i run the integration wizard it pops up an error saying: "a referral was returned from the server".

I am running vs 2010 in Windows 7. Does v2.93 support VS 2010 in Windows 7?

Please help.

Thanks
