Visual C++ :: MFC MDI Tabbed Child Window Positioning
Jul 18, 2013
Is it possible to specify the size/position of tabs in an MFC MDI tabbed application?
I am trying to save the open tabs when exiting the program and restoring them when the application is relaunched. I have come up with a method of saving and reloading the tabs, but I cannot restore their position.
I have seen SaveMDIState and LoadMDIState but I can't make it do anything and I'm also not sure if it's what I need.
I have a CFormView derived window which I would like to position at run time. In particular when the user clicks a button I would like to shfit the CFormView window and open up a new Dialog window so that the two do not overlap.
I have created the CFormView window and the dialog window - how to shfit the CFormView window?
I shift the Dialog window as follows in OnInitDialog: SetWindowPos(NULL, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOZORDER);

For my purposes, this achievement is practically useless because I cannot find a way to pass text from one CRichEditView window to another.
Given two CRichEditView windows, CInputViewView and COutputView as child windows in an MFC MDI app, my goal is to capture text in the former and print that text in the later using a button click.
Using what appeared to me to be a logical way to proceed, I tried variations of the following code:
I have MDI form which contains mutliple tabs and each tab has its own child form . When user presses ALT TAB from the from to other application its fine but when users presses ALT TAB back to my application it should keep focus on child form last time it was selected.
Essentially I have an MDI that I want to be able to switch between having all my views tabbed when one is maximized and having all my views cascaded or tiled to their previous sizes. The MFC app wizard provides options for either tabbed or untabbed views.
How to implement this? What is the class that MFC uses to place each of the MDI child frames in tabs?
I have a tabbed dialog with a couple of Separate dialogs. I created classes of CDialog for each dialog. Im trying to get the text from the edit control from the tabbed dialog and it appears in a message box when I press a button on the main dialog.
Code: myDialog test; test.UpdateData(TRUE); CString bla = test.m_edit1; test.UpdateData(FALSE); MessageBox(bla,bla,MB_OK);
The m_edit is a variable of CString for the edit box
it gives me a error and crashes.
How do I get the text from the other dialogs edit control?
How can I create MS Word 'print layout' like interface. The attached picture says it all. Basically I want a shaded area around my document just like word so it gives a feel of the 'page'.
I was hoping I can override some function somewhere and along that lines tried playing around with below but that didn't work.
Code: BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs) { if( !CFrameWndEx::PreCreateWindow(cs) ) return FALSE; // TODO: Modify the Window class or styles here by modifying // the CREATESTRUCT cs cs.cx = 250; // just playing around with size cs.cy = 250; return TRUE; }
I am new in Visual C++ and I have to make an MFC application with "child" windows. Here is what i need to achieve - [URL] ..... As you can observe when you click on the cross of popup window or child window 2 both are closing.
i open child dialog from a dialog( which is launched from a toolbar of a window) after editing i close the child dialog, after closing child dialog shadow is retained on window but not on the parent dialog. Later when i close the parent dialog the child dialog shadow disappears. (issue exist only when i edit in child dialog)
I am using a CEdit control as a child in a CListCtrl for purpose of making each column editable. The application is a dialog based app. My problem is... I have overwritten OnOK and OnCancel in the main dialog so the edit control never receives notifications for Escape or Enter whether in OnChar or PreTranslateMessage and I would like to delete the CEdit control after updating the CListCtrl on Enter. What can I do? I have rewritten this code many many times over the past 4 days and nothing is working.
I want program to make bitmap from my Window. I also want to do add some additional steps which I will try to add later. But now I want to ask you how to fix the code. For some reason when I debug the code (break on line 73 of capture.cpp) there the pointer pBitmap is 0x00000000 . So how to correct the code to successfully capture Window? Here I give the complete codes:
stdafx.h
Code: #pragma once #include "targetver.h" #include <stdio.h>
[Code].....
Feel free to set correct name of Window on line 17 for FindWindow() function.
PS: The code is remake of script to capture screen, which saved the bitmap to file. This is not what I want because I would be content if I could send (or maybe share!) the bitmap to ahk script which will ask my C++ program for the bitmap.
I am developing a MDI application that will contain a RibbonBar and a Properties Pane window. The MDI documents are not tabbed. I am finding that when I try to move the client window around, it gets clipped by the RibbonBar and the Properties Pane window (shown in image). I know the client window cannot go outside the client area, but can the client window be on top of the ribbon bar and the properties pane window?
I know I can set the window properties on creation, but I'm trying to figure out how to prevent a window from being able to be moved or resized. I've been looking online and it looks like it involves overriding the WM_SIZE, WM_SIZING, or perhaps the WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED message handlers. I want to be able to have a menu option that "locks" the window position, and of course allows normal window behavior when the option isn't checked.
I used to use OutputDebugString, and not using it now because it only allows to strings to be outputted, are there any methods that I can dump virtually anything to the console?
cout << thing << endl;
But what if I am not start running the program from the command prompt?
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.
