Abstract

You need GDI+ installed to use this control.

CCylinderProgressControlST is a class derived from MFC CProgressCtrl class. The control has been created as an exercise of converting an existing control written in C# into a new one with the same features written in C++. The conversion was quite simple. You can find the original control here. CCylinderProgressControlST code is more robust than the original one.

CCylinderProgressControlST features:

• Easy to use
• Standard CProgressCtrl methods
• Support for negative ranges
• Support for vertical progress controls
• Full source code included!
• Cost-less implementation in existing applications

How to integrate CCylinderProgressControlST in your application

In your project include the following files:

• CylinderProgressControlST.h
• CylinderProgressControlST.cpp

With dialog editor create a progress control called, for example, IDC_PROGRESS.

Then create a member variable for this control:

CCylinderProgressControlST m_prgControl;

Now attach the progress control to CCylinderProgressControlST. For dialog-based applications, in your OnInitDialog:

// Call the base-class method

CDialog::OnInitDialog();

// Create the IDC_PROGRESS progress control

m_prgControl.SubclassDlgItem(IDC_PROGRESS, this);

Or in your DoDataExchange:

// Call the base method

CDialog::DoDataExchange(pDX);

// Create the IDC_PROGRESS progress control

DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_PROGRESS, m_prgControl);

Your progress control is now a CCylinderProgressControlST!

Class methods

SetRange

Sets the upper and lower limits of the progress bar control's range and redraws the bar to reflect the new ranges.

// Parameters:

//     [IN]   shLower

//            Specifies the lower limit of the range (default is zero).

//     [IN]   shUpper

//            Specifies the upper limit of the range (default is 100).

//

void SetRange(short shLower, short shUpper)

SetRange32

Sets the upper and lower limits of the progress bar control's range and redraws the bar to reflect the new ranges.

// Parameters:

//     [IN]   nLower

//            Specifies the lower limit of the range (default is zero).

//     [IN]   nUpper

//            Specifies the upper limit of the range (default is 100).

//

void SetRange32(int nLower, int nUpper)

SetStep

Specifies the step increment for a progress bar control.
The step increment is the amount by which a call to StepIt increases the progress bar's current position.

// Parameters:

//     [IN]   nStep

//            New step increment.

//

// Return value:

//     The previous step increment.

//

int SetStep(int nStep)

SetPos

Sets the progress bar control's current position as specified by nPos and redraws the bar to reflect the new position. The position of the progress bar control is not the physical location on the screen, but rather is between the upper and lower range indicated in SetRange.

// Parameters:

//     [IN]   nPos

//            New position of the progress bar control.

//

// Return value:

//     The previous position of the progress bar control.

//

int SetPos(int nPos)

StepIt

Advances the current position for a progress bar control by the step increment and redraws the bar to reflect the new position.
The step increment is set by the SetStep method.

// Return value:

//     The previous position of the progress bar control.

//

int StepIt()

void SetTooltipText(int nId, BOOL bActivate = TRUE)

SetTooltipText

Sets the text to show in the control tooltip.

// Parameters:

//     [IN]   lpszText

//            Pointer to a null-terminated string containing the text to show.

//     [IN]   bActivate

void ActivateTooltip(BOOL bActivate = TRUE)

DrawTransparent

Enables the transparent mode. Note: this operation is not reversible. DrawTransparent should be called just after the control is created. Do not use trasparent controls until you really need it (you have a bitmapped background) since each transparent control makes a copy in memory of its background. This may bring unnecessary memory use and execution overload.

// Parameters:

//     [IN]   bRepaint

//            If TRUE the control will be repainted.

//

DWORD DrawTransparent(BOOL bRepaint = FALSE)

OnDrawBackground

This function is called every time the control background needs to be painted. If the control is in transparent mode this function will not be called. This is a virtual function that can be rewritten in CCylinderProgressCtrlST-derived classes.

// Parameters:

//     [IN]   pGfx

//            Pointer to a GDI+ Graphics object that indicates the graphic 

//            context.

//     [IN]   rpCtrl

//            Pointer to a GDI+ Rect object that indicates the bounds of the

//            area to be painted.

//

// Return value:

//     CYLINDERPROGRESSCTRLST_OK

//        Function executed successfully.

//

virtual DWORD OnDrawBackground(Graphics* pGfx, Rect* rpCtrl)

OnDrawText

This function is called each time the progress bar is redrawn. It is a virtual function to let derived classes do custom drawing. The default implementation shows the current bar percentage.

// Parameters:

//     [IN]   pGfx

//            Pointer to a GDI+ Graphics object that indicates the graphic 

//            context.

//     [IN]   nPercentage

//            Current percentage of the progress bar.

//     [IN]   rpCtrl

//            Pointer to a GDI+ Rect object that indicates the dimensions of 

//            the entire control.

//     [IN]   rpEmpty

//            Pointer to a GDI+ Rect object that indicates the dimensions of 

//            the control's

//            portion currently left empty.

//     [IN]   rpFull

//            Pointer to a GDI+ Rect object that indicates the dimensions of 

//            the currently displayed bar.

//     [IN]   bHorizontal

//            TRUE if the progress is horizontal, otherwise FALSE.

//

// Return value:

//     CYLINDERPROGRESSCTRLST_OK

//        Function executed successfully.

//

virtual DWORD OnDrawText(Graphics* pGfx, int nPercentage, Rect* rpCtrl, 
//                       Rect* rpEmpty, Rect* rpFull, BOOL bHorizontal)

GetVersionI

Returns the class version as a short value.

// Return value:

//     Class version. Divide by 10 to get actual version.

//

static short GetVersionI()

GetVersionC

Returns the class version as a string value.
