HTHEME OpenThemeData( HWND hwnd, LPCWSTR pszClassList ); Could anybody tell me what are the acceptable class names that I can pass in...
Hi all, I was wondering if there is a native C++ (or STL/Boost) function which will search a CString for a specified string? e.g. CString strIn = "Test number 1"; CString strQuery = "num"; bool fRet = SomeFn(strIn, StrQuery); if( fRet == true ) { // Ok strQuery was found in strIn ... I have found a small number of functions lik...

How can I implement the "tap and hold" behavior in an MFC CListCtrl? I have an MFC CListCtrl in a CDialog and I need to add to the CListCtrl the "tap and hold" behavior.

I have an MFC application that uses several MFC extension DLL's. I want this app (and several other similar apps) to be able to access some parts of the .net framework. I wrote a C# library to do the .net work I want and was hoping to be able to write an MFC dll to hide all the C++/CLI code from my apps. The apps would stay as pure MFC a...
I'm building an "import from Excel" function. It has to be in a DLL, called from a non-MFC app. Has to provide an image of the spreadsheet that users can drag a select box around (to select cells), then click an IMPORT button, and have the right thing happen. Having trouble getting the spreadsheet up, having a button adjacent to it, an...
Can someone enlighten me as to the difference between private and protected members in classes? I understand from best practice conventions that variables and functions which are not called outside the class should be made private - but looking at my MFC project, MFC seems to favour protected. Whats the difference and which should I use...
I have an application, written in C++ using MFC and Stingray libraries. The application works with a wide variety of large data types, which are all currently serialized based on MFC Document/View serialize derived functionality. I have also added options for XML serialization based on the Stingray libraries, which implements DOM via t...
I'm looking for a way to embed an image in a library (Windows-only). I don't want to go the 'traditional' way of putting it in the resources (because of special circumstances that make it not so convenient to mess around with the resource handle. Ideally, there would be something like xpm files: a 'text' representation of an image that ...
How do I load a true color image into a CImageList? Right now I have mImageList.Create(IDB_IMGLIST_BGTASK, 16, 1, RGB(255,0,255)); Where IDB_IMGLIST_BGTASK is a 64x16 True color image. The ClistCtrl I am using it in shows 16 bpp color. I don't see a Create overload that allows me to specify both the bpp and the resource to load fro...
I want to list the thumbnails of a set of photos in a listctrl. But the only way to achieve this is to use the setImageList method to bind a image list to the CListCtrl object and insert items like this: InsertItem (int nItem, LPCTSTR lpszitem, int nImage). I also must modify the listctrl's style by ModifyStyle(LVS_TYPEMASK, LVS_ICON) to...

The MFC application that i created is dialog based. Just one dialog thats all. How do I get the window handle to this window, while the application is performing the InitDialog. I need to find out its dimension as well. GetForegroundWindow not necessarily gives you the handle to this window that is loading up ...
I was planning to implememt owner-drawn of CListCtrl. I thought that drawing an item is after the item is inserted into the control. So my method is declare a class which is derived from CListCtrl and override its DrawItem() method. The problem is DrawItem is never invoked after inserting an item. Is there anything wrong with my method? ...
As far as I know ON_WM_MEASUREITEM does not get called in Custom Draw list control. It is only used if control is Owner Drawn. I have found a way to do that, but it is somewhat a HACK and I still can not control gaps between items they are set up somehow automatically. The trick is that you can create CImageList with the unused images of...
Back in the 90s when I first started out with MFC I used to dynamically link my apps and shipped the relevant MFC DLLs. This caused me a few issues (DLL hell!) and I switched to statically linking instead - not just for MFC, but for the CRT and ATL. Other than larger EXE files, statically linking has never caused me any problems at all...
