I need to convert a string into a Font object. I'm trying to use the Font Converter but I don't see support for the font Style. I need to save a font to a string and back again using the font name, size and style.
Font font1 = (Font) converter.ConvertFromString("Arial, 12pt");
How do I change User Input to display in Italic font style?
Let's say user inputs a word, then display that word in italic font.
I recently switched from Visual C++ 6.0 to Visual C++ 2008.
With Visual C++ 6.0, I used a callback method to get available font styles for a given font. I don't think that is working correctly anymore.
What is the best approach for determining which font styles (e.g., bold, italic, etc.) are available for a given font. I am not using .Net.
Are there any good free or commercial software that can check the C++ code style and find any codelines that violate a given code style specification? For example, whether the codeline is indented proplery, whether the variable is using Hungarian naming notation?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI need use GetTextExtent and I don't understant why GetTextExtent always return the same value if I change some values of the selected font. This is my example:
Code:
LOGFONT lf;
pOldFont->GetLogFont(&lf);
CString sExampleSizeByChar;
sExampleSizeByChar = _T("hello");
DWORD dwPixelsByChar = dc.GetTextExtent(sExampleSizeByChar).cx / 1.15;

Why I get always the value 24 when I call GetTextExtent if I change the font size?
How to increase font size for a specific button? I tried to change the nHeight but it doesn't seems to change the font size.

my problem:I have a text (singleline) and a fix width for the whole text.
How do I find the correct font (height) for this text?
Can change the menu bar font size in CMainFrame::OnCreate()? Here's what I have:

return -1;

The line "m_wndToolBar.SetFont(&m_font);" does nothing.
I needed to change Default Text attributes (font and color) . So I wrote following code , UnicodeTextOut function. I called this function once in each 55ms to update the display screen. but I observed that my Screen used to become grey like a crash after sometime . If I use Minimize an Maximize window , the screen was restoring back for some time.
When I thought over the code , I got my mistake that CreateFont initialization should be done once in the program and probably outside the function.
void UnicodeTextOut(int x, int y, CString s, UINT justify,int GreyScaleFlag) {
HFONT hFontUnicode;
HFONT hfOld ;
hFontUnicode = CreateFont(16, 0, 0, 0, 0 , 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, _T("Aerial"));
[Code] ....
Then I shifted the line hFontUnicode = CreateFont(16, 0, 0, 0, 0 , 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, _T("Aerial")); in my screen class constructor and made hFontUnicode global .
This solved my problem as expected. Why a system crash after certain no of CreateFont calls ?
I am trying to draw a shape or font on dialog and then fill the outline. I have 2 buttons on this 2 buttons I have the following code
Code:
case IDC_BUTTON1:
MessageBox(hDlg, L"Start Drawing!!", L"ButtonPressed", MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
hDC = GetDC(hDlg);
brush = CreateSolidBrush(RGB(128, 128, 128));
SelectObject(hDC, brush);
[code].....
When I remove the BeginPath() and EndPath() functions my lines are being drawn. But when I insert this BeginPath() and EndPath() and StrokeAndFillPath(hDC); the nothing is being drawn.
Why it is not doing as per the expectations. I want to draw a shape for example A with a outline. And i want it to be closed when drawing is ended and filled the hollow portion.
What am I doing wrong in this ?I am not implementing it in WM_PAINT but drawing is done in WM_LBUTTONUP.

I'm trying to create a dialog where some of the buttons have pictures on them, rather than plain text. I notice that under the button's properties, under the "styles" tab there's a checkbox "bitmap". I can't seem to find any easy way of setting a bitmap.
View 4 Replies View Relatedtell me the EASIEST way to create a button with an image on it.
I am not interested in using the owner draw property with CBitmapButton and then have to create a whole lot of bitmaps for all the different button states.
There must be a way to simply create an ordinary button which displays an image rather than or as well as a caption....?
May I know how to change a button colour using visual C++ ? Currently using visual studio 2010.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have created an application that has bunch of buttons on top and i want to change the image when I click on the button. But unfortunately I can't get it to work.
Here is the code:
if (serialPort1.IsOpen) {
tsbCommPortOpenClose.ToolTipText = "Open serial port";
closeCommPortToolStripMenuItem.Text = "Open serial port";
tsbCommPortOpenClose.Image = Image.FromFile("Red.bmp");
serialPort1.Close();
[Code] ....
The second one which changes the image to "image2" works fine. Here is the definition of image2:
namespace Regress;
...
private Bitmap image2;
System.Reflection.Assembly myAssembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
StreammyStream = myAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream("Regress.Sharing.gif");
image2 = new Bitmap(myStream);
When I do the same with the other image that I want to use, it won't work! I opened the project properties and added the image into the resources too, and it still doesn't work. It fails and says the file was not there. I've put a copy of the file in the root directory and one in "Resources" folder but it still doesn't work.

View 2 Replies View Related I Like to Open a Dialog When the Button Was Pressed for 5 seconds Continuously.
I'm using Windows 8 HP Tablet, Is MouseUp & MouseDown events suitable for this requirement.
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 have subclassed CFileDialog. I need to select both file and folder on certain case only. Suppose I have a folder selected and it is containing desired file type. Then in such situation, On clicking open button will not open the selected folder. But just close the CFileDialog with IDOK.
For doing this I need to provide my own implementation for Open button handler. I am not getting how I can do this.
I've created a new dialog in my MFC dialog based application. the new dialog contains 5 control buttons. The following happens and I don't understand why?
1. click on buttonX. (result ok, OnBnClicked message is sent)
2. click on on any place of the application, but not on the dialog.(removing focus from dialog)
3. click again on buttonX (FAILED, OnBnClicked message is NOT sent). but if instead I click on any other button in the dialog (result ok, OnBnClicked message is sent).
And when I do:
1. ...
2. ...
3. click on the dialog area just to set focus on the dialog again
4. click again on buttonX. (result ok, OnBnClicked message is sent)
**I need to do step 3 only if I want to click again on the buttonX! why?? I think it related to SetFocus() but I m not sure how.
I've tried different style like, tool windows, overlapped, popup. it happens in all the cases.
Code:
class CToolsDlg : public CBDialog {
DECLARE_DYNAMIC(CToolsDlg)
public:
CToolsDlg(CWnd* pParent = NULL); // standard constructor
virtual ~CToolsDlg();
