I think filters in the grid header are great, especially for filtering out some unimportant rows before printing.

But in my application I would need to filter numeric and currency cells so I would need numeric filters like "less than X", "equal X", etc. It would be also more efficient than text filters.

Do you think you could implement this ? Thank you!

We currently suppor conditional filters for text only. The type based filter implementation should be similar. The CExtGridCellHeaderFilter::OnQueryTextValueFilteredStateTF() performs conditional comparisson of text values. We need to implement a similar method but it should use grid cell objects in comparission instead of strings.

The print preview for tree grid looks great, unluckily I cannot find any documentation for it so I need answers to my problems:

1. I have number and currency cells, aligned to right. But in print preview it shows right alignment only for children of root, deeper cells have left alignment (I guess it is a bug)

2. can I turn off printing of the icons in the string cells? (how?)

3. can printing keep expand status of the tree? (currently it expands all nodes)

4. can it preserver current column widths? long items would be print using ellipses like on the screen

I mean something like WYSIWYG mode by points 3 and 4.

Thank you and great job!

Thank you, I’ll check it.

Hello.

By __PROF_UIS_VERSION, I want to change a build source.

Thanks,

 

Hello.

For example.

I do such how to use.

Hope don’t mind.

#if __PROF_UIS_VERSION < 0x02080200

   PmBridge_GetPM()->PaintIcon(

       dc,

       true,

       sItemText,

       pIcon,

       rcItemForIcon,

       rcTmpText,

       false,

       true,

       false,

       0

       );

#else

 PmBridge_GetPM()->PaintIcon(

  dc,

  true,

  pIcon,

  rcItemForIcon,

  false,

  bEnabled,

  false,

  CExtPaintManager::__ALIGN_HORIZ_LEFT | CExtPaintManager::__ALIGN_VERT_TOP

  );

#endif

Your code is OK. You can use version macro in such way. Please give us more details on any unresolved issues you have.

What is a way of having a button/item which changes its image? It needs to work with customisation. It is a button that is like a checked/ unchecked except its image changes instead of its checked state. therefore it also needs to update based on some internal variable.

Is there a simple way of doing this?

 

Hello.

It reappears in RibbonBar-MDI.

I start RibbonBar-MDI

In NewFile, Child opens

I change a theme

On WindowCaption, rectangular drawing runs. 

Hello.

The program works well.

 

However, there is a place to flicker at the time of a theme change.

Please revise it sometime.

We modified this sample for you. Now the corner area does not displays the content of scrollable window anymore.

This sample application contains a new version of the CExtScrollContainerWnd class which you should update in your project(s).

There is time when expression collapses.

1, When I changed a theme.

    or

2, At the time of application start.

    CExtRibbonNode * pNodeMoji =

        new CExtRibbonNode( ID_ZUMEN_MOJI , 0, NULL, 0, _T("Str") );

    pNodeMoji->RibbonILE_RuleRemoveSmallILV();

    VERIFY( pNodeMoji->m_iconBig.m_bmpNormal.LoadBMP_Resource( MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_ZUMEN_MOJI_BIG) ) );

    pNodeMoji->m_iconBig.m_bmpNormal.Make32();

    pNodeMoji->m_iconBig.m_bmpNormal.AlphaColor( RGB(255,0,255), RGB(0,0,0), 0 );

    VERIFY( pNodeMoji->m_iconSmall.m_bmpNormal.LoadBMP_Resource( MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_ZUMEN_MOJI_SMALL) ) );

    pNodeMoji->m_iconSmall.m_bmpNormal.Make32();

    pNodeMoji->m_iconSmall.m_bmpNormal.AlphaColor( RGB(255,0,255), RGB(0,0,0), 0 );

    pRibbonGroup->InsertNode( NULL, pNodeMoji );

Thanks,

 

v.2.83 is not yet released. Please contact us via email at support@prof-uis.com. We will reply with how to download the latest snapshot of v.2.83.

Hello.

There is time when size collapses by all means.

I want to perform right drawing.

Please teach a good command.

 

When the current theme changes, it is handled absolutely differently by the ribbon in v.2.83 and you should no longer see the incorrect layout. We can provide you with the latest snapshot of v.2.83.

Hello.

About the corner of the scroll bar.

A domain surrounded with red cloth is transparent.

Please teach the method that is not transparent.

I need to restore sort order used in tree grid control after program restart. I call  CExtGridDataProvider::SortOrderSet() with needed sort order while initializing of the grid (adding columns). Althought sorting works, the sorting arrows are not displayed in the column headers. How to solve this?

Thank you.

I have a grid, in which I set the background to be the same color as the dialog background of the there. I use the CExtPaintManagerOffice2007_Black theme, and  because of that, the cell text have to be white I query the color of the text line this:

    CWindowDC dcFake(NULL);
    COLORREF m_clrText =
        PmBridge_GetPM()->QueryObjectTextColor(
        dcFake,
        true,
        false,
        false,
        false,
        (CObject*)this
        );

This will give me white in black themes, and black in the others.

My problem is that when the text does not fit into the cell, the tool-tip is displayed. The tool-tip has a yellow background, so I get white on yellow... as you can imagine nothing is seen.

Is there a way to fix the tool-tip text color to be black? Where do I set the color of the toot-tip’s text?

The version is almost ready. Just needs some last touches.

The text and background colors of the content popup window displayed for a cell is inherited from a cell. All the painting procedures are invoked from the CExtGridCell::OnPaintExpandedContent() virtual method when the client area of the content popup window is being painted. Just take a look at this method and you will see that the text is painted in the CExtGridCell::OnPaintText() method, so the text color is the same as the color of the cell text.

If you need some different text colors, you can do the following:

a) Override CExtGridCell::OnPaintExpandedContent() and pass some dwHelperPaintFlags value to the OnPaintText() method call.

           OnPaintText(
                        rcItem,
                        wndGrid,
                        picd.m_dc,
                        htInfo.m_nVisibleColNo,
                        htInfo.m_nVisibleRowNo,
                        htInfo.m_nColNo,
                        htInfo.m_nRowNo,
                        htInfo.GetInnerOuterTypeOfColumn(),
                        htInfo.GetInnerOuterTypeOfRow(),
                        htInfo.m_rcExtra,
                        htInfo.m_rcItem,
                        rcVisibleRange,
                        htInfo.m_dwAreaFlags,
>>>>>>            0L //dwHelperPaintFlags   <<<<<<
                        );

b) Override CExtGridCell::OnQueryTextColor() virtual method. Check the dwHelperPaintFlags parameter in it and return any needed color.

It’s impossible to implement this solution, as I need to copy all the function, which uses some constant values you define in the ExtGridWnd.cpp file:

#define __EXT_EXPANDED_TEXT_GAP_X 2
#define __EXT_EXPANDED_TEXT_GAP_Y 2

In any case, this is rather a lot of work for something as simple as that - would it be possible that you will set a special value in dwHelperPaintFlags when the paint is coming from a tooltip paint call for next version - this is what I did now (changed the ExtGridWnd.cpp so that in the OnPaint call you mentioned above I pass a special value, in the function CExtGridCell::OnPaintExpandedContent, and in my cell’s OnQueryTextColor I look for that special value as you wrote in (b)

Let me know if you think this is not a good idea.

We added a __EGCPF_EXPANDED_CONTENT value which is now passed to the OnQueryBackColor and OnPaintText methods when they paint the cell’s expanded content. You can either wait for the next version release or request the new code by email.

Hello.

What kind of structure will this move in?

Does the skin take over the drawing such as buttons?

The skinable look of controls is provided by the CExtPaintManagerSkin class from a ProfSkin library, which is a stand alone project based on Prof-UIS. The skin is described by a tree like structure based on CExtSkinItem objects which are loaded from an .XML file or a binary .SKIN file. Each skin node describes how to paint a particular UI element.

Please let us know which UI items would you like to skin if they are not skinned or skin them in some different way?

Hello.

 

About the Cell contents of the expression range of the red frame.

Is it difficult to let you do Fit of a column by these contents?

I ask you an opinion.

 

 

I have a dynamic control bar docked to the right side of my tab container and auto-hidden (__EDBS_AUTO_HIDDEN).

It slides out when the user mouses over it, but is it possible to make it slide out programatically? 

 

I use the LPARAM of report grid nodes to hold a pointer to data created with new which is the only pointer to this data.  I override

the function  CExtReportGridWnd::_ReportItemUnRegisterImpl

so that I may delete the data before the node is actually removed and returned to the pool.  It was always successful until I tried to clear the Report of all nodes using the following:

LONG nRowCount = m_wndGrid.RowCountGet();

if( nRowCount > 0L )

{

HTREEITEM hRootItem = m_wndGrid.ItemGetRoot();

ASSERT( hRootItem != NULL );

if( hRootItem != NULL )

m_wndGrid.ItemRemove( hRootItem, true, true );

}

I have found that  _ReportItemUnRegisterImpl is not called in this case which is disaterous.

Can you recommend an override that I may implement to GUARANTEE that I will catch when a report item is removed.

Thanks

 

 

 

 

 

Please override the CExtTreeGridWnd::OnTreeGridNodeRemoved() virtual method in a CExtReportGridWnd-derived class. The CExtTreeGridCellNode * pointer is really the CExtReportGridItem * pointer in the case of report grid.

I have a tree grid with two columns. I want that each column will occupy 50% of the grid. I initialized my grid as follows, but it does not happen. The first column size stays fixed, and the second column occupy the rest of the grid. Can you please check if there is a problem in my code or a bug?

Thanks.

Thanks.

The proportional column resizing work equally for the CExtReportGridWnd, CExtTreeGridWnd and CExtGridWnd controls. This feature is completely implemented in the CExtGridWnd class. We have quickly checked the problem in the report grid with two columns and we found no problems. We know that the first column can have a persistent width only if you specified the minimal/current/maximal width in pixels in the header cell of this column using the CExtGridCell::ExtentSet() method. Only in this case the double value specified in the CExtGridCell::ExtentPercentSet() method is ignored. You told that the second column is resized. This means the proportional column resizing feature is active and working in the grid window. We don’t know any other way to freeze the first column except specifying its 3 fixed width in pixels. Please check your code additionally. If you do not find suspected assignments of all three fixed width in your code, we will try to create a smallest possible test project for you.

Hello

It is possible to add to a CExtTreeGridWnd grid a CExtGridCellComboBox with two (or more) columns?

Thanks  in advance

I override OnTreeGridToggleItemExpandedState, for implementing my virtual tree.

According to the help file this function is: "Called when a tree grid item is expanded or collapsed."

Hoever, if you set the focus to a node, and press the right arrow, which expands this node, the fucntion is not called.

Please fix....

This is from the help file of 2.82:

ItemExpand: Expands or collapses the list of child items, if any, associated with the specified parent item.

OnTreeGridToggleItemExpandedState: Called when a tree grid item is expanded or collapsed.

So, if I understand the help, the second function is an event firing, whereas the first one is a command to expand a node.

It is very unclear to me why the OnXXX is fired when I click with the mouse on a node, and not when I use the keyboeard - please explain to me what is the difference, and how your solution can solve the problem. All user method of expanding and collapsing a node should end in the same OnXXX function.

The name of the OnTreeGridToggleItemExpandedState() method contains the word Toggle. This means the method is invoked for toggling the expanded state rather than forcibly expanding or collapsing a node regardless of its state. Please override the CExtTreeGridWnd::ItemExpand() method instead.

Dear Support,

Even though I think there is some confusion in the definitions in the help file, overrding ItemExand does catch all cases that a node is exanded or collapsed, so I don’t need OnTreeGridToggleItemExpandedStat at all.

Can you please give me an example when OnTreeGridToggleItemExpandedState is used?

Thanks.

 

In fact, the OnTreeGridToggleItemExpandedState() method is currently used by the CExtTreeGridWnd class internally only and only in the case when a tree row should toggle its expanded state. We think we should update the documentation or improve this method. This is not the only duplicated virtual method in Prof-UIS and we think the several ways of catching similar events is not a problem. You simply catch different particular events on the different layers.

Dear Support,

Is it possible to replace the default drawing of a check-box? I would like to display a start un-start like picasa instead of the standard check un-check.

Thanks,

Ron.

 

Dear Support,

I would like to repeat this from a previous thread, which I never got an answer to:

Can you please add for the coming version passing of the parameters of grid, row & cell  to the OnValueIncrement() and OnValueDecrement() methods? If you say they are invoked from the the CExtGridCell::OnButtonPressing()  method, which does contain this information it does not seems to be too complicated. This is what I intend to do myself... If you want I can check it out and let you know if it works.

 

Ron.

I would like to show you another problem in this issue - when an increment button is pressed, the grid is receiving an OnGridCellInputComplete call, but the cell does not!

You can see it in CExtGridCell::OnButtonPressing:

 

...
switch( nButtonType )
    {
    case __EBTT_UPDOWN_UP:
        if(        IsButtonEnabled(__EBTT_UPDOWN_UP)
            &&    OnQueryEnabledIncrement()
            )
        {
            if( OnValueIncrement() )
            {
                wndGrid.OnGridCellInputComplete(
                    *this,
                    nColNo,
                    nRowNo,
                    nColType,
                    nRowType
                    );
                bRedrawCell = true;
            }
        }
    break;
    case __EBTT_UPDOWN_DOWN:
        if(        IsButtonEnabled(__EBTT_UPDOWN_DOWN)
            &&    OnQueryEnabledDecrement()
            )
        {
            if( OnValueDecrement() )
            {
                wndGrid.OnGridCellInputComplete(
                    *this,
                    nColNo,
                    nRowNo,
                    nColType,
                    nRowType
                    );
                bRedrawCell = true;
            }
        }
    break;
...

 

 

I think that the cell should be notified here that the cell was changed. I am going to do it myself, but I think that this is a fix that should be added to the library.
