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);
I have a child window above an edit control.
When the position of the control in the parent in the child on top of it is clicked the control gets topmost. Is there any way to prevent this?

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:
Code:
void CMainFrame::DoSomething() {
//MessageBox(_T("Like What ?"), _T("Do Something"));
//CInputViewView * pin = (CInputViewView*) GetActiveView();
CInputViewView * pin = (CInputViewView*)m_wndSplitter.GetPane(0,0);
pin->GetWindowTextW(m_csDisplay);
[Code] ....
None of this works and even the attempt to access the pane results in an app crash in winsplit.cpp.
Code:
#ifdef _DEBUG
void CSplitterWnd::AssertValid() const {
CWnd::AssertValid();
>ASSERT(m_nMaxRows >= 1);

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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedEssentially 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;
}
How can I do that?

I have a main dialog which has (DDX?) controls for the user. eg a slider, and a combo box.
Previously, an image adjusted by these controls was in the same dialog.
I need to put this image in a New, separate dialog but it still must be controlled by the slider and combo box on the main dialog.
My question is how can I pass the control's variables between the dialogs? I have, say,
Code:
//MainDlg.cpp
DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_ComboBrightness, m_Brightness
I was told that I could do something like:
Code:
//ImageDlg.h
public:
ImageDlg(CWnd* pParent = NULL, CComboBox m_Brightness); // standard constructor
But I get errors including: Missing default parameter for parameter 2
I also need to pass the image array, is that perhaps the same method?
I took a month's break from programming, and got rusty. Here's the problem:
The character 'b' is char('a'+1), 'c' is char('a'+2), etc. Use a loop to write out a table of characters with their corresponding integer values:
a (tab) 97
b (tab) 98
...
z (tab) 122
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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

Is there some document, that describe the sequence of actions, that result in displaying of a Dialog Window from a .DLL.
One important detail - the Dialog Window is created via resource/toolbox inteface.
Below is code from some example (which works), that displays simple window (with client area inside it).
In this code the window class is ctreated inside of application class.
Here is extract from application class:
Code:
class CMyWindow : public CFrameWnd {
CStatic* cs;
public:
CMyWindow();
};
CMyWindow::CMyWindow() {

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.
