CListCtrl report - resizeing columns (resezing same in Outlook 98/2000/2002 - solution !(?) )

11-Feb-02 8:30

Immediately after posting that last message, I realised i'd used a regular dialog box template, not a IDD_FORMVIEW type template.

Oh dear, i think it's time to get some sleep.

I have problem with style report in the concrete with resizeing columns. I wrote code to autoresize(as resizeing column in Outlook) column but problem is while users changeing width of App (for example CListView in SDI app). During resizeing (because width of column is not changeing at once) users can see horz. scrollbar. Present MS-Outlook - here is same case.

Can I set width of column at once ? Currently I useing function SetItem().

My Code :
HRESULT CDodomuHeaderCtrl::OnLayout(WPARAM wparam,LPARAM lparam){
if (!m_bNowResizeing){
AutoSizeItems();
LPHDLAYOUT lay = (LPHDLAYOUT)lparam;
HRESULT lResult = CHeaderCtrl::DefWindowProc(HDM_LAYOUT, 0, lparam);
return lResult;
}
else {
return NULL;
}
}

void AutoSizeItem(){
... compute new width
m_bNowResizeing = true;
for(....){ // (remark 1)
HDITEM item;
... fill struct
SetItem(i,&item);
}
m_bNowResizeing = false;

}

-----

remark 1. :
Here is greatest problem : If users decrease width of ListCtrl will in moment width of all column >> ( Frown | :-(

) then client area and Windows (CListCtrl) show horz. scrollbar.

Please ... Can you help me ?

Thank VERY MUCH !!!!

Haven't tried it myself, but maybe you can use WM_SETREDRAW to disable automatic redrawing while the resizing is in progress:

void AutoSizeItem(){
... compute new width
SendMessage(WM_SETREDRAW,(WPARAM)FALSE); // disable redrawing
for(....){ 
HDITEM item;
... fill struct
SetItem(i,&item);
}
SendMessage(WM_SETREDRAW,(WPARAM)TRUE); // enable redrawing
}

Let us know if that worked! Regards,

By default OnInitDialog is not called when you add a property page to a sheet, but rather the first time the property page is displayed. You can force OnInitDialog to be called when the property sheet is created by setting the flag PSP_PREMATURE in the dwFlags member of the PROPSHEETPAGE structure associated to a property page --note however that this capability is only supported starting from version 4.71 of the common controls library.

Why do my radio buttons never appear in Classwizard?

Re: Why do my radio buttons never appear in Classwizard?

All,

Forgive this dumb-assed question...

I want to implement and owner-drawn radio button. If I add a radio button in dialog editor, it's resource id never appears in the member variables tab in ClassWizard.

Why not? Surely I don't have to CMyRButton::Create() on them? there must be a way to use the dialog editor?

Thanks

Jon

You mean you put radio button in dialog and check owner draw check box?

You have to give all radio controls a unique ID... I think thats the problem... because it's the same thing with ALL static text controls. They have ID IDC_STATIC (I think) and if you change it to IDC_STATIC1 then it will appear in the CW.

I tried this, having had the same problem with static's in the past. No luck though... they still don't appear.

I tried it and no probs at all.
If you have three radio buttons then check the "group" setting for the first box. Only then will it come in CW

Wizards in WinCe?

Does anyone know if wizards are supported in WinCe? I am attempting to create on my device runing WinCe 3.0 and I am getting an error of SetWizardMode not a member of CWizardSheet, which is my derived class from CPropertySheet.

Just wondering if they are supported or not.

Thanks,
-Eric

Disregard this, after looking in the documentation it clearly states that wizards are not supported in wince.

Subclassing a CListCtrl

Jerome Conus11-Feb-02 2:31

Hi !

I'm trying to subclass the control 'CListCtrl'. I now have a new class, derived from CListCtrl and I'm trying to find a way to draw specific parts of the control by myself, but I don't really know where to start.

I read articles talking about 'ownerdraw', but it seems it doesn't work the same with sublassed controls and ownerdrawed controls.

Any help will be greatly appreciated !

You can check CListCtrls in CP ,look in source code of them and see DrawItem
function of them

I don't think deriving a class is quite sub-classing...i dunno i could be wrong.

Owner drawn list controls is alot of work, I would personally suggest using CustomDraw instead...this way you only draw the parts you want and let windows draw the rest.

Is there some function that gives me the weekday if I lend it a date? For example, if I feed it 11.02.2001 (today) it returns monday. It will simply be too troublesome to create such a function myself Blush | :O
