Visual C++ :: Tooltips Not Working For All Controls In CFormView Derived Class
Sep 16, 2014
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 need to create an object of a mfc derived CFormView class that's not in the doc/template (a second view class). But it was generated with a protected ctor. Here's the code explanation with comments.
I'm thinking all the normal classes of the Doc/View template are created starting with this code, but within the template code base.
Code:
CSingleDocTemplate* pDocTemplate;
pDocTemplate = new CSingleDocTemplate(IDR_MAINFRAME,
RUNTIME_CLASS(CViewSwitchDoc), //<-expands to-> ((CRuntimeClass*)(&CViewSwitchDoc::classCViewSwitchDoc)),
RUNTIME_CLASS(CMainFrame), // main SDI frame window
RUNTIME_CLASS(CViewSwitchView));
But I have generated "another view" using the "Add Class" Wizard, it's a derived class of mfc CFormView which I named ViewForm. However I'm having a problem creating an instance of it because of the generated protected ctor and pulls a compile error of not being able to access ctor. Below are the header and implementation files of this said ViewForm class. How to create an object of this view ? Did I go about it all the wrong way since it's not in the doc/template group ?
// ViewForm.h file
#pragma once
// ViewForm form view
class ViewForm : public CFormView {
DECLARE_DYNCREATE(ViewForm)
[Code] ....

In my class:
Code:
class SettingsDialog : public CDialogEx
I have:
Code:
enum { IDD = IDD_SETTINGS_DIALOG };
I have a very similar dialog called IDD_SETTINGS2_DIALOG with all the exact same variables. Is it possible to conditionally load either of those dialogs in that class through a variable pass into the constructor? If so, how do I edit that enum type to add both?

Is it possible to use a CFormView as the main view without using document support. IE pointing CWinApps m_pMainWnd to the CFrameWnd derived MainFrame and attaching the CFormView from there. It does not seem to be working and I was wondering before I waste any more time on the solution if it is even possible. I know it is an easy solution if I create a true SDI application however I have no use for documents in this application.

My app crashes when I attempt to create a CWnd as shown below. I am attempting to create the CWnd with a a parent of type CFormView. Why this might be crashing?
Code:
CWnd::Create(AfxRegisterWndClass(CS_DBLCLKS), CString(windowName.c_str()), WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER, dimensions, parent, NULL, NULL);
The call stack looks like this:
Code:
mfc100ud.dll!AfxGetInstanceHandle() Line 21 + 0x20 bytesC++
mfc100ud.dll!AfxRegisterWndClass(unsigned int nClassStyle, HICON__ * hCursor, HBRUSH__ * hbrBackground, HICON__ * hIcon) Line 1462 + 0x5 bytesC++
And the line that crashes here us the AfxGetInstanceHandle() call:
Code:
LPCTSTR AFXAPI AfxRegisterWndClass(UINT nClassStyle,
HCURSOR hCursor, HBRUSH hbrBackground, HICON hIcon) {
// Returns a temporary string name for the class
// Save in a CString if you want to use it for a long time
LPTSTR lpszName = AfxGetThreadState()->m_szTempClassName;
// generate a synthetic name for this class
HINSTANCE hInst = AfxGetInstanceHandle();

Say I have 3 classes:
class Player {
public:
virtual func1();
[code]....
Say in my main class, I have a function fight(Player p1, Player p2) and I would like to do something like this in the fight function, given that p1 is the human and p2 is the computer:
//function fight()
fight(Player p1, Player p2) {
p1.func2();
}
//using function fight()
fight(human, computer);
When I compile the program, I got this: error: ‘class Player’ has no member named 'func2()' What can I do to allow p1 to call func2 inside fight()? I'm not allowed to use pointers as the parameter for fight() and have to use the signature fight(Player p1, Player p2).

The compiler creates virtual table for the base class and also for the derived class whether we override it or not.
That means each class has separate virtual table. when we get the size of the each class with out any data members... the size of base is -- 4 bytes(64 bit) and the size of derived is -- 1
The size of base class 4 is correct since it creates the virtual pointer internally and its size is member data + virtual pointer, but it in this case I have included any data members so it has given 4 byts.
But why in case of derived is 1 byte, since it the derived class has overridden the virtual function from base, this will also contains the virtual pointer which will be pointing to derived class Vtable, it the size of the class suppose to be 4 instead of 1 byte.

I have my main.cpp like this:
#include <iostream>
#include "curve1.h"
#include "curve2.h"
using namespace std;
int main() {
Curve1 curve1Obj;
Curve2 curve2Obj;
[Code]...
Base class Score has two derived classes Curve1 and Curve2. There are two curve() functions, one is in Curve1 and other in Curve2 classes. getSize() returns the value of iSize.
My base class header score.h looks like this:
#ifndef SCORE_H
#define SCORE_H
class Score {
private:
int *ipScore;
float fAverage;
int iSize;
[Code]...
You can see that I have used curve1Obj to enter scores, calculate average and output. So if I call getSize() function with cuve1Obj, it gives the right size that I took from user in enterScores() function. Also the result is same if I call getSize() in score.cpp definition file in any of the functions (obviously).
.....
The problem is when I call curve() function of Curve2 class in main (line 23) with the object curve2Obj, it creates a new set of ipScore, fAverage and iSize (i think?) with garbage values. So when I call getSize() in curve() definition in curve2.cpp, it outputs the garbage. .....
How can I cause it to return the old values that are set in curve1.cpp?
Here is my curve2.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include "curve2.h"
using namespace std;
void Curve2::curve() {
cout << "getSize() returns: " << getSize() << endl; // out comes the garbage
}
Can I use a function to simply put values from old to new variables? If yes then how?

In this book, item 3 is about never treat arrays polymorphically. In the latter part of this item, the author talks about the result of deleting an array of derived class objects through a base class pointer is undefined. What does it mean? I have an example here,
Code:
class B
{
public:
B():_y(1){}
virtual ~B() {
cout<<"~B()"<<endl;
[Code] ....
This sample code does exactly what I want. So does the author mean the way I did is undefined?

Please consider the following code :
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class superclass;
class subclass1;
class subclass2;
[Code] ....
As you can see I want to create a dynamically allocated storage of references to a parent class each of which can then point to a child class, how ever I do not know how to extract the child class out again from that array so i may access its variable b.

So I have a base class, lets call it base. In base I have a virtual function called update(), update just couts "base" then I have a class derived from base called derived;
it has a function called update(), update just couts "derived" then I create a vector called Vec it's initialised like this:
std::vector<base> Vec;
then I add an element into it like this
Derived DerElement;
Vec.push_back(DerElement);
then when I type:
for (int i=0; i<Vec.size(); i++) {
Vec.at(i).Update();
}
It outputs:
Derived DerElement2;
DerElement2.Update();
and it outputs this:
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
class Base {
public:
virtual void Update() {
[Code] .....
and this is it's output:
Base
Derived

I have an example where I have a variable belonging to a base class, but I would like to tell the compiler that it actually belongs to a derived class. How can I do this?
// base class: R0
// derived class: R1
// see function SetR1 for the problem
class R0 {

I just wondering if a base class can call the overridden function from a Derived class?
Here's an example:
//Base Class H
class BaseClass {
public:
BaseClass();
virtual ~BaseClass();
virtual void functionA();
[Code] ....
So basically, when I am creating a new object of Derived class, it will initialize BaseClass and the BaseClass will call functionA but I want it to call the function overridden by Derived class.
I know that if I call newObj->functionA it will call the overridden function. Right now I want the base class to call the overridden function "this->functionA(); in BaseClass" during its initialization. Is it possible to do that?

Basically, I have a base class called MainShop and it has 3 derived classes which are SwordShop, SpellBookShop and BowShop. I want the base class to be able to call a function from one of the derived classes but no matter what i do, it doesn't seem to work!
Here is my code:
#include "MainShop.h"
//BaseClass cpp
void MainShop::EnterShop(Hero& hero)
[Code]....
I have two other derived classes, but its basically the same concept. I have a function in one of the derived classes and i would like to call it from the base class. This is one my derived classes:
//SwordShop derived cpp
#include "SwordShop.h"
void SwordShop::soldierShop(Hero& hero)
{
/* some code here*/
}

Base class has an array, whose size is controlled by the derived class.
I can't use the STL and use a 2003 compiler, so things like std::vector and std::array are out. I also can't use dynamic memory allocation.
So I thought of a few options:
1.
template <int N> class myBaseClass { ... int array[N]; ... }
then class MyClass: public myBaseClass<8> ... etc ...
2.
have a int **array in the base and assign in the derived class.
3.
give the base some virtual methods such as int *getArray or even int &getInt for more safety.

I understand it is done like this
// Calling the base class constructor
explicit CCandyBox(double lv, double wv, double hv, const char* str="Candy"): CBox(lv, wv, hv)
{
...
}
But how does the compiler know that you are initializing the base "part" of the object?
Or is this the entire reason initialization lists exist, to separate this confusion?

If Yes, then why this syntax does not works :
class Derived : public Base {
public:
Derived& operator=(const Derived &rhs) {
operator =(static_cast<const Base&>(rhs));

My question is while I'm reading this book step by step line by line, I reached this example. Building classes then derived classes. How can I add derived class from a class which is already existed. In other words, I have Person Class (which is my base class) and after implementing this class, I would like to create Student Class ( which is my derived class). How can I do that from using Solution Explorer window? I can add base class and derived class together by right click on my project and then add new item then adding class + base class I know that but what if my class in this case existed and I want only to add base class? I know how to add cpp. file and h. file but I want to take advantage of using the formal style if it exists in this case.

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++.

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?

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__

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.
