Re: Tool Tips in Modal Dialogs

Jay --

Why did you change the original sample around so much? Not sure from 
your example what it is you're trying to accomplish (give each child 
window a tooltip that contains the text of the child window's ID?) 
but I think you're missing the subclassing that the original code 
provided.

Change OnInitDialog to the following:

m_wndToolTip.Create(m_hWnd);
m_wndToolTip.Activate(TRUE);

HWND hWndChild = ::GetWindow(m_hWnd, GW_CHILD);	

TCHAR szText[256];
while (hWndChild)
{
int	nCtrlId = ::GetDlgCtrlID(hWndChild);
_itoa(nCtrlId, szText, 10);
CToolInfo ctiTest(TTF_CENTERTIP |TTF_IDISHWND| TTF_SUBCLASS, 
hWndChild, (WPARAM)hWndChild, 0, szText);
m_wndToolTip.AddTool(&ctiTest);

hWndChild = ::GetWindow(hWndChild, GW_HWNDNEXT);
}

Good luck!

Re: Property Sheet in a WTL dialog.

Hi Kevin

My suggestion is to look at the second DevelopMentor WTL White Paper (found at
http://www.develop.com/dm/dev_resources.asp). It has a section on property pages
and I think it has most, if not all, the answers you're looking for.

Best regards,
Brandon

RichEdit on a Form

I've a WTL form-based app, the dialog resource for the form contains 
a rich edit control.

Everything is fine if I use version 1 rich edit control but if I 
change to version 2 or 3, the view fails to create.

What am I missing? An app based on a rich edit as it's view is fine 
with any version control, it's just if the view is a form.

Thanks

PeteB

PS: is there a move to make WTL classes conform to (or at least 
support) their MFC equivalent (e.g. WTL::CString Find method doesn't 
have a "start at" parameter). Would you include changes if I sent 
them to you Nenad?

Re: RichEdit on a Form

Have you loaded "riched20.dll" and used "RichEdit20A" in Create?

Customizing Menu appearance

I'm developing skins for WTL, and right now I'm on the crossroad:
either to write from scratch CCommandBar (and Menu), or to ask Nenad if he
has the idea 
The problem is:

a) don't know how to customize the appearance of TrackPopupMenu,
particularly the NC area (border). I've customized menu items (by OwnerDraw
overrideables in CCommandBar -> DrawItem, MeasureItem), Toolbar buttons,
CommandBar buttons (main menu), but cannot draw the border that surrounds
menu items; that is main window in which menu items are drawn. Can I
subclass that window and where?
b) DoTrackPopupMenu is not overrideable; therefore I must copy all of the
code to make adjustments there; is there any other way?

Anyone has the idea or hint?

RE: Property Sheet in a WTL dialog.

Hello,

I have read this White Paper (WTL Makes UI Programming a Joy, Part 2: The
bells and whistles) but the section on property pages only shows how to
implement a "DoModal" type of dialog. It was from this example that I
started to look at deriving from CPropertySheetImpl. If I use this approach
do I have to use DoModal? If I just have a dialog based application or a
form view type of application what methods can I override at the beginning
and the end to initialize and save the results of the property pages
respectively?

Thank you for your help.

You can draw outside of the given drawitem rectangle. You can retrieve the
dimensions of the whole window in you 1st DrawItem call and then draw the
background. You can retrieve the dimensions with the windowhandle of the
menu.

I do not know these right out of my mind but I shouldn't be much trouble
finding the right API calls. Afterall I also found them )

Yours sincerely,
Ramon Smits

Re: RichEdit on a Form

Also look in your stdafx.h file, you will see this line:

#define _RICHEDIT_VER	0x0100

I have gotten version 2 to work fine by loading the DLL like Leon said and 
then I had to change the stdafx.h line to be using version 2.

#define _RICHEDIT_VER	0x0200

Re: Tool Tips in Modal Dialogs

Brandon,

I changed it because I wrote my code before before I saw the message. 
Once I ran into problems I then tracked down the info at this site. 

>From what I can tell the flags you are using are not the same as the 
AddTool method I was calling. When I updated the flags the code works 
properly in Modal dialogs.

Thanks.

Jay
