Hi all, I have an MFC app which I have been working on for a few weeks now, I want to manually set the dimensions of the main frame when it is loaded, can someone give me a hand with this, specifically where to put the code as well? Thanks! ...
Hi all, I have a list view control which at the moment only allows one item to be selected. I then read this via the following code: void CApp::OnNMClickList1(NMHDR *pNMHDR, LRESULT *pResult) { int nSelected = (m_List.GetSelectionMark()); ... However, now I want to make this list able to multiselect, GetSelectionMark() always ret...
Basically I have a bunch of unmanaged VC++ static libraries. And the VC++ GUI application which uses those and it is based on MFC. The goal is to replace the GUI app with the one done in C# instead but using all the same static libraries. The question is if this even possible, and if yes, then what is the right way to accomplish that? ...
I need to write a digital oscilloscope type application. There are many great static graphing controls out there, but I need something that can graph 16 traces processing 4000 samples per second. Is anyone aware of a high speed graphing control for .NET? I'll even take MFC since that can be wrapped into a .NET control. Thanks for the...
Hello all, I am trying to figure out the proper procedure for applying a new tsk based theme file in windows mobile 6.1. I have tried working off of the page http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/changetodaytheme.html But this only changes the background, not the system colors for things such as the top and bottom bars on the screen. wce...
What is the maximum length for the text string contained in a CEdit control in MFC? I get a beep when trying to add a character after the character 30001 is this documented anywhere? Can I display longer texts in a CEdit? Should I use another control? As "Windows programmer" says down below, the text length limit is not the same when th...
What is the maximum length in characters a CString object can hold? ...
I have a compiled GUI application. I need to learn whether it is programmed using MFC libraries. Depends.exe does not return any dependency to MFC42*.dll. Is there any tool to get additional information about executables? (If possible not just the libraries, but the compiler being used, etc..) ...
I use the MFC list control in report view with grid lines to display data in a vaguely spreadsheet manner. Sometimes when the user scrolls vertically through the control, extra grid lines are drawn, which looks terrible. This does not happen when the slider or the mousewheel are used to scroll, only when the little down arrow button at...
We may start converting an old VS2003 MFC project to use the fancy new features provided by the MFC Feature Pack and VS2008. Several of the new UI controls would be very nice except for one thing - they automatically save their information to the registry. I don't have a problem with the registry, but for the multiple environments the us...
This is kinda a general question, open for opinions. I've been trying to come up with a good way to design for localization of string resources for a Windows MFC application and related utilities. My wishlist is: Must preserve string literals in code (as opposed to replacing with macro #define resource ID's), so that the messages are s...
I am using a List Control to display a representation of elements within a vector. When the list is clicked on another control shows information about that element. The index of the element is currently determined by its index in the control, however if I wish to sort or filter the results this will no longer work. I have been told that...
I used Visual Studio's Application Wizard to create a skeleton MFC program with a multi-document interface. When I start this program, it automatically creates a child frame, which I don't want it to do - I need the main frame's client area to be empty until the user chooses to open a file. The debugger tells me that a CChildFrame obje...
I have an MFC sdi app that uses a splitter window to contain a tree control alongside the main view showing the data. When the user selects something in the tree, that view keeps focus until the user deliberately clicks in the main data window. This means that any toolbar buttons associated with the main view are disabled. Is there a...
We are trying to look at optimizing our localization testing. Our QA group had a suggestion of a special mode to force all strings from the resources to be entirely contained of X. We already API hijack LoadString, and the MFC implementation of it, so doing it should not be a major hurdle. My question is how would you solve the forma...
Hello I'm using a CListCtrl control to display information in my MFC app. At the moment I have LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES set in SetExtendedStyle so all rows in the control have a checkbox next to them. What I would like however is that only some of the rows in the control have checkboxes. Is this possible ? If it is how is this done ? Thanks ...
Should I create two CFile objects and copy one into the other character by character? Or is there something in the library that will do this for me? ...
In an MFC application there is a small rectangular region where the scroll bars meet (bottom right of the window). It seems that this region only invalidates when the frame is resized. On other occasions (for example, if another window is dragged over it), this region does not repaint. I've been able to reproduce it in VS 6 and 2008 o...
I've seen ReSharper recommended a lot Unfortunately, it doesn't support C++ in Visual Studio. Is there anything out there you can recommend? I already use Visual Assist, and it does its job very well, but it's quite limited in comparison with ReSharper. Any suggestions? ...
Hi all, I have a main frame with a splitter. On the left I have my (imaginatively named) CAppView_Leftand on the right I have CAppView_Right_1and CAppView_Right_2. Through the following code I initialise the two primary views correctly: if (!m_wndSplitter.CreateStatic(this, 1, 2)) { TRACE0("Failed to CreateStaticSplitter\n"); r...
