Visual C++ :: CMFC ToolBar - Can't Change Title?
May 1, 2014
Visual Studio 2013. C++.
Created a blank, SDI MFC app.
I added a new CMFCToolBar (by hand, didn't use a wizard)
It docks OK. The commands work OK. It renders OK. No problems there.
In the code, attempting to set the window text of this toolbar has no effect. The title bar text is always "Standard". I triple triple triple checked to make sure I don't have any resource ID conflicts. In a small app as this, it was pretty easy to verify this.
The toolbar also does not show in the menu illustrated in the screenshot. (The bottom, undocked toolbar should be titled "My Page Bar" and I think it should show up in the popup menu.)
I know I'm probably missing a simple step somewhere, but I haven't seen it. It looks like its getting mixed up with the Standard Toolbar resource ID somewhere but I could see nothing in the .rc or resource.h files.

The goal is to change the status bar (CMFCRibbonStatusBar) icons based on some events. (The old CMFCStatusBar class had the SetPaneIcon() member that easily solves the problem.)
The "improved" CMFCRibbonStatusBarPane has no members to set the icon, other then the constructor. Being a subclass of CMFCRibbonButton, it has SetImageIndex() that sets the icon index in the image list. The MS online support does not mention how and where to set that "list of images". My understanding is that the list belongs to the Button's parent; in this case it is the CMFCRibbonStatusBar, which has no methods to set any image list. How and where am I supposed to set that list of images for the status bar?
Second related question: I have tried to set the pane icon with the CMFCRibbonStatusBarPane() constructor by loading it from an icon resource. The icon appears shortly and then it is replaced by a gray patch. (for tests I also used one of the icons given by the MFC wizard, with the same result)
The code is:
int CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct) {
..........
if (!m_wndStatusBar.Create(this)) {
TRACE0("Failed to create status bar
");
[Code] ....
This code was placed within a program created by the MFC wizard that does nothing else. I absolutely do not "touch" the status bar after it is created here in CMainFrame::OnCreate().
Apparently the icon is "erased" after OnCreate() exits. Where, how? I have made HICON icon; a member of my CMainFrame class, with the same result.

I want to control my toolbar dynamically.
First I added tool bar with style including TBSTYLE_EX_MIXEDBUTTONS | TBSTYLE_LIST.
Then added the tool bar to a rebar. I added tool tips by handling TTN_GETDISPINFO.
Everything works fine. But when I try to add text to right of the button, the text
gets added but button size is not automatically changing.
The following code is not working .
void SetToolbarText(HWND& hwndToolbar,LPTSTR szText)
{
ATLASSERT(::IsWindow(hwndToolbar));
TBBUTTONINFO tbbi = { 0 };
tbbi.cbSize = sizeof(TBBUTTONINFO);
tbbi.dwMask = TBIF_TEXT;// | TBIF_SIZE;//if I add TBIF_SIZE code will work!
tbbi.cchText = 0;
tbbi.cx = 200;
[Code]...

My problem is ToolTips are not shown if any of the tool-bar menu items is disabled/inactive.
They are shown when all tool bar menus are active/enabled.
I am using TTS_ALWAYSTIP while creating Tool-Bar.
What to do to enable/display tool-tips always.

I have an SDI app created with VC2012. Main view is a CFormView and it's the parent to four embedded dialogs. All four dialogs have title bars. On three of them, the title bars looks as I'd expect. Normal size, text left justified. On the fourth, the title bar is noticeably thicker and the text is centered. All styles are the same as far as I can tell. The main difference is the one that's acting up has a browser control on it, the others just standard controls. It looks normal on Windows 7.

I don't know how to get window title text of same process without setting a foreground window.
My code:
Using it, I get window handle.
struct handle_data {
unsigned long process_id;
HWND best_handle;
};
BOOL is_main_window(HWND handle) {
return GetWindow(handle, GW_OWNER) == (HWND)0 && IsWindowVisible(handle);
[Code] ....
This part doesn't work unless I use it with GetForegroundWindow(). But before using it, I have to set it. Is there any way to get window name without setting a foreground window?
unsigned long id = GetCurrentProcessId();
//HANDLE h = GetCurrentProcess();
HWND wind = find_main_window(id);
char window_title[256];
GetWindowText(wind, window_title, 256);
std::string txtt(window_title);

//declare variables
void Add();

I'm trying to remove the title bar from an external app. The reason is I don't want anyone to be able to move it.
But my code below doesn't remove the title bar. Could this be because it's not removable? I read somewhere title bars of external apps may be not removable if the app doesn't allow it.
So, I'm not sure why my code doesn't work - either it's wrong or the app doesn't permit it?
My app is a winform.
int style = GetWindowLong(app1Win, GWL_STYLE);
style = style & ~WS_BORDER;
SetWindowLong(app1Win, GWL_STYLE, style);
SetWindowPos(app1Win, HWND_TOP, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE);

Here is what I did,
Code:
oldHook = ::SetWindowsHookEx(WH_CALLWNDPROCRET, CallWndRetProc, NULL, ::GetCurrentThreadId());
MessageBox(...);
UnhookWindowsHookEx(oldHook);
Then within the callback function CallWndRetProc, I tried to change the background color of the dialog,
Code:
PAINTSTRUCT ps;
HDC hdc = BeginPaint(msg->hwnd, &ps);
::SetBkColor(hdc, RGB(255, 0, 0));
EndPaint(msg->hwnd, &ps);
But it doesn't change the background color of the dialog. I wonder what is the right way to do that?

how to change the mouse tracking icon during runtime. I wish to emulate the Microsoft Paint app behavior with respect, for example, to click on a toolbar button such as the 'Fill With Color' bucket and have the mouse pointer icon change to a little bucket. I wish to do this in an MFC SDI app.
Here's a bit of code that does nothing that I can tell, although it compiles and runs. (m_hIcon2 is a member HANDLE, IDI_FLOODFILL is an existing icon in the app resources). I have come across numerous other examples that do not work and/or will not compile using VS 2010 Win7(64).
Code:
void CMainFrame::SetNewIcon() {
m_hIcon2 = LoadIcon(AfxGetInstanceHandle(), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_FLOODFILL));
SetIcon(m_hIcon2, FALSE);

Code:

HBRUSH hbr = CComboBox::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
// TODO: Change any attributes of the DC here
//if(CTLCOLOR_EDIT == nCtlColor || CTLCOLOR_MSGBOX == nCtlColor) {
[Code] ......
but is not working if CComboBox has CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style ... is working only for CBS_DROPDOWN style ... why ?

I am writing a GUI application with C++ Visual component Libraries and Win32API under windows OS.
As part of this app, I have to change color of the MS Windows button control depending on the external state.
I understood, Win32 will not support changing button control color directly as it will not support for this.
how to change the button color?

I need a ownerdraw CListBox where I can change the item height during working with the list. The msdn says that I can specify the height in OnMeasureItem when the listbox will be created (ownerdrawfixed) or when an item will be inserted (ownerdrawvariable).
How to change the height e.g. when I click a button?
I made also some tests with CListCtrl. There I can change the height. But there is only one height for all items. How to set individual heights for the items?

I have created an exam environment for our schools, it comprises of 3 files; a .kix file that says if they are in the examination group run a .vbs file. The .vbs file kills the explorer.exe task so they don't have any taskbar or desktop shortcuts and then opens a .hta file.
The .hta file is a user interface that has icons for apps like Win Word that executes the application when you click on it. There is also a log off button.
Looking for some code that stops the students from being able to close, minimise and resize the window. Looking for code that can lock this down so they literally can't do anything except click the icons inside the window.
