Visual C++ :: Intercept Messages Sent To Controls On A Dialog
Apr 8, 2013
If it is possible, I'd like to know how to intercept messages sent to controls on a dialog. I'm working on a large application with a large number of dialogs, each with a number of controls on the dialog. I need to be able to intercept messages sent to these controls so that I can determine if the controls really need to take action on these messages. I could subclass each control and override the specific event handlers but due to the volume of controls in the application this could take a very long time, will introduce risk if controls are missed, and will increase maintenance costs. What I want to do is create a class which is derived from CDialog and each of the dialogs in the application would then be derived from this new dialog class. The new dialog class would intercept messages sent to any control on the dialog and if the dialog decides that the control should do something then the dialog will pass the message on to the control.
example:
CExistingDialog is derived from CNewDialog is derived from CDialog
CExistingDialog has a number of controls. When the code in CExistingDialog calls CWnd::EnableWindow on one of these controls I want CNewDialog to intercept the message, determine what should be done with the message, and then pass it on to the control.
I'm not very familiar with the messaging framework. I've tried overriding a few of the methods of CNewDialog but none of them ever receive the message to enable the window. I assume this is because the message is sent directly to the child window (the control).
Is there any way to intercept these messages? I don't know much about hooks either but is this a possible option?

After user input that many checkboxes controls are created but if try to click again then not able to delete previous controls and again new no. of controls.
Code snippet to add controls on user input.
RECT rctA;
rctA.top = 51;
rctA.bottom = 80;
CString temp;
m_Edit.GetWindowText(temp);
int noOfControls = _tstoi(temp);
[Code] ....

I used onctlcolor() method to set the background color for the controls & Dialog. I run my application, working good but after 15 mins the below error occured,

I have a property sheet view with few property pages. One of this property page contains a HTML representation via a CHtmlView derived class.
Initially, the .html file is correctly rendered. The problem is that sometimes switching between properties pages sometime the html file is not redraw. The behavior appears randomly.
According to Spy++ in such situation some Windows messages are not sent by WebControl (Internet Explorer_Server layer): WM_ERASEBKGRD, WM_PAINT or WM_NCPAINT.
Approaches such Q179421 or Q183161 are not useful. My machine runs IE 10.
The windows hierarchy is: Shell Embedding -> Shell DocObject View -> Internet Explorer_Server.
Any workaround that would determine Internet Explorer_Server layer to send these messages always?

I'm turning mad with a little problem with Visual Studio 2008 and MFC. I'm working on a project actually and I'm trying to create an SDI Application. Right, now I want to add a dockable DialogBar. Well, the first time I added it with the resource view, I can create the bar without problems. But... I want to add some controls like a couple of ListBox, buttons and so on. The program doesn't allows me to create member variables for these controls. The option appears in grey.
Searching a little, I found that it's mandatory to create a new class derived from CDialogBar and "enhance" it with the Message handler and so on. I've been reading some tutorials and it didn't work for me.

there is a way to iterate through the controls on a webpage. For instance, I tried EnumChildWindows using the parent window of the browser, but I haven't had any luck - it returns nothing. s where I can start researching how to find the child controls?
I'm using Visual Studio 2010, programming in C++.

I have a dialog app with two separate static controls. Both controls have been subclassed from CStatic derived class to implement drag and drop and double clicking. The class works just fine, but I cannot figure out which of the controls is being double clicked or dragged and dropped onto because I only have the code below operating. I need some method in the derived class to determine which control is being manipulated.
Code:
// header file
#pragma once
#ifndef __AFXWIN_H__
[Code]....

I have a SDI application that uses a CFormView class to create a window and this window has 2 buttons and 2 edit boxes.
I can resize this window, like minimize and maximize, but the controls all stay at the same place.
I know that it's possible to move the controls based on window size.
But what i want to do is, as the window is expanded the controls and it's text content to grow proportionally and same when the window is shrinked.
Is that possible to do? i.e., increase/decrease size of controls and texts per window size.

I have migrated my MFC application from Visual Studio 6 to VS2010. But the UI controls still looks the same as of old theme. How can i add the manifest file now to get the UI controls to be displayed as of the current OS theme. i.e. Win7 look if the application is run on windows 7.

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.

I need make a CBitmap or a streamdata from a System.Windows.Controls::Image(rendered out put)in a SDI mfc application (supporting clr). Here is my codes:
Code:
using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Collections::Generic;
using namespace System::Windows;
using namespace System::Windows::Controls;
[Code] .....
By this codes i can read datastream from bitmapSource but in this way somthing goes wrong in most of GIF animations. After debug i found out i need 3 more things too decode a gif animation - (x,y) position and size of each frame and disposal method for each one - finally i just found a way to draw tru images on a form window by this codes:
Code:
System::Windows::Window^ mainWindow;
mainWindow = gcnew System::Windows::Window();
mainWindow->Title = "GIF Imaging Sample";
//ScrollViewer^ mySV = gcnew ScrollViewer();
array<System::Byte>^ pixels = gcnew array<System::Byte>(bitmapSource->PixelHeight * Stride);
[Code] ...
When i change
Code: bitmapSource = decoder->Frames[0];
to
Code: bitmapSource = decoder->Frames[01];
frame[1] has drawn perfectly on window(i think some how Image class takes care about - (x,y) position and size of each frame and disposal method for each one ),so im wonder if how can i make a CBitmap or a data stream from System.Windows.Controls::Image class to use in mfc app.

I have to rearrange my controls in a controlbar based on the new size resulting from dock/undocking of the bars or resizing of the mainframe.
Is there a message I can use? How to determine the new height when docked?
I tried to use its OnSize-function. The problem with it is to get the new height. When the function is called, the height I get from GetWindowRect is the old height.
Is there a better function than OnSize() ?

I can't get tooltips to show up for the windows I want in my CFormView derived class. I have copied the code from the MSDN entry on EnableToolTips(). But only two windows respond with a tooltip:
CONTROL "Tree1",IDC_TESTPLANS,"SysTreeView32",TVS_HASBUTTONS | TVS_HASLINES | TVS_EDITLABELS | TVS_SHOWSELALWAYS | WS_BORDER | WS_HSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP,1,36,85,91
CONTROL "Tab1",IDC_TABCMD,"SysTabControl32",0x0,101,0,239,181
Other windows do not respond. For these windows my function designed to catch the TTN_NEEDTEXTW and TTN_NEEDTEXTA messages is not called. Windows such as
LISTBOX IDC_TESTPLANNAMES,0,119,48,40,LBS_SORT | LBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP
PUSHBUTTON "",IDC_BTN_COPY,105,177,24,24,BS_ICON
Why wouldn't the messages be sent for those windows? I'm using the code
ON_NOTIFY_EX_RANGE(TTN_NEEDTEXTW, 0, 0xFFFF, &CCntlrView::OnTtnNeedText)
ON_NOTIFY_EX_RANGE(TTN_NEEDTEXTA, 0, 0xFFFF, &CCntlrView::OnTtnNeedText)
(CCntrlView is the name of my class derived from CFormView.) And as I pointed out, I'm using the code straight from the example given in MSDN for CWnd::EnableToolTips(), with the only difference being that all my controls are created in the rc file as shown above.

I've created a modeless dialog from my main dialog as follows:
Code:
m_pContainerDlg = new CDlgContainer(NULL, this);
m_pContainerDlg->Create(CDlgContainer::IDD, GetDesktopWindow());
m_pContainerDlg ->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
This container dialog creates a child dialog which I show inside the container
Code:
BOOL CDlgContainer::OnInitDialog(){
// Create the child dialog and show it
m_pChildDlg = new CChildDlg(this);
m_pChildDlg->Create(IDD_DIRECTORY_DIALOG, this);
return FALSE;
}
From my child dialog I then create a modal dialog when a user clicks on a button
Code:
CChildDlg:: CChildDlg (CWnd* pParent /*=NULL*/) :
m_pParent((CDlgContainer*)pParent), {
} void CChildDlg::OnBnClickedBtn() {
CMyDlg MyDlg;
INT_PTR iResult = MyDlg.DoModal(pParent);
}
My problem is that the CMyDlg is modal but to the main dialog and not to the container or the child dialog.

What I want is simple: I want to catch a dialog box!
The dialog box pops very frequently in a website. We have to put a username and password and press OK. I checked with spy++. It doesn't have any child windows. So catching the dialog box with windows API is ruled out. It must be a HTML dialog. I have to get DOM COM interfaces of the dialog.
Another option may be to make an add-on to get the interface to IWebBrowser2 and get the events fired. The title of the dialog box is "Authentication Required". If the events will be fired for that dialog box, I can check the title using IHTMLDocument2::get_Title.But will the events be fired for HTML dialog box? How to catch that desturbing dialog box.

How can I create a dialog as a DLL ? I have a SDI MFC app (CView is based on CFormView) and from a button I want to load a modal dialog, but that dialog must be developed as DLL ... I didn't find something that fit my needs on internet ... P.S. I have only VC6 !

For a project I'm working on, I need to be able to download a file from an FTP server and store it to a predetermined location with a predetermined name. No user interaction should be needed. Because the file is rather large, and I need the main program to remain responsive, this is going to need a progress dialog.
I could write all this myself and use the MFC wininet wrappers (CInternetSession et al) to do the downloading, but... Explorer already has this, and IE has such a dialog also. It doesn't seem unreasonable to assume those dialogs are available via some API.
Is a "FTP download with dialog" available as a windows API, or do I really need to write all this myself ?

I was wondering how can we know how many items exist in a dialogbox? If there any way that i can get the items ID in a dialogbox by having just the dialogbox's object or handler? Or any way that we can get a dialogbox content by coding.

I have an mfc dialog of size 1280 X 1024 and when i change the resolution to 800 X 600, after adding scroll bar, it don't show the entire dialog contents, Seems like it clips the 800 X 600 portion.
I have handled VScroll and HScroll. It works fine for higher resolutions!

Normally, menu bar resides below the title bar. See attachment MenuBarOriginal.JPG
Is there a way that we can position the menu bar? For example,place it on the side or anywhere on the dialog box?
MenuBarModified.JPG is some sample of menu bar positions that I want to place.
I want to do this on a dialog box.

I need to pass a variable to a dialog box.
Code:
Doc* pDoc;
Dialog dlg;
int input = dlg.DoModal();
When I call dlg.DoModal() I need to somehow pass the pDoc into the dialog box. Everything I need the variable for is taking place inside the oninitdialog function. Is there anyway to pass the variable to that function?

I have a ListCtrl on my dailog. It has a report view. In my case I have selected first row with left click of mouse and entire row is displayed in blue color as selection (as per expected) and when I right click the second row of the listctrl it displays the menu which I have added to it and the selection remains with the first row.(as expected). I have already overridden the ListCtrl class.
I want that on the right click of second row the selection should remain with the first row but this second row also should be displayed with dotted line border.
