Just use zero for the index when you insert the columns.

<br />
InsertColumn(0, _T("Column far right"));<br />
InsertColumn(0, _T("Column 2nd from right"));<br />
InsertColumn(0, _T("Column 3rd from right"));<br />

If you need it so the entire list control is flush with the right side on the control (say for arabic/hebrew reading) you'd need to set the ~~Right to Left~~ RTL Layout setting in the dialog that contains the control.

Insert a temporary column first, insert the other columns, then delete the temporary column, like:

m_lcFooter.InsertColumn(0, _T("David")); // temporary
m_lcFooter.InsertColumn(1, _T("Right Justified"), LVCFMT_RIGHT, 580);
m_lcFooter.InsertColumn(2, _T("Left Justified"), LVCFMT_LEFT,  75);
m_lcFooter.DeleteColumn(0);
// now insert the items

To insert a new item:

CMenu* m;<br />
m = AfxGetApp()->GetMainWnd()->GetMenu();<br />
m = m->GetSubMenu(2);//change this to whatever (zero-based index).<br />
m->AppendMenu(MF_ENABLED,253,"new item");//change the second parameter to something you like. and the third one too.

When the menu item is clicked, you need a menu-command-range hander in the message-map macro in the .cpp file:

ON_COMMAND_RANGE(200,400,OnMyMenu)//change the first and second parameter to the range you will provide in the second param to AppendMenu()

The implementation will be:

void CMySdiView::OnMyMenu(UINT nItem)<br />
{<br />
}

Now nItem contains the second parameter you gave in AppendMenu(). So you know which one was clicked.
One thing to note is that you must have at least a sub-item in the menu in the resource. Let it be a separator. When no sub-items are present, it gives a headache.

this is this.

first u have to get a handle to the menu or create ur own

HMENU hMenu = CreateMenu();
HMENU hPMenu = CreatePopupMenu();

AppendMenu(hMenu,MF_STRING|MF_POPUP,(UINT_PTR)hPMenu,favmenuTxt);
AppendMenu(hPMenu,MF_STRING,favID,favTxt);

also in ur message process u need to handle for the WM_COMMAND message with (i think) wParam being the command ID

It sounds like you expect this to be simple; in other words, like the IDE is going to provide it for you (Wrong!). You have two choices: (1) write a simple little piece of code that opens a file (for append/write) writes to it, then closes it, for each piece of your code (slow, but worth it), (2) If you are using MFC, then you can use trace statements, they will dump into the debug output window, which you can copy and paste to a text file.

ToolBar Button and Cursor in MFC

19-Aug-05 16:20

I am a newbie to MFC and want to do the following:

I have a button added to a toolbar. I have also added the following in my code for the function to be executed once the Button is clicked: ON_COMMAND(ID_BUTTONRUN, OnRunTests)What I want is when the button is clicked I want the button state to be disabled and the cursor to look like a Hourglass untill the OnRunTests() is completed.
I tried the :ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(ID_BUTTONRUN, OnToolbarRunUpdate)
but this got executed only after the OnRunTests() completed which is not what I want.

Is there a way for me to change the cursor and the button state as soon as the OnRunTests() is entered and change it back when it is done. Any help and guidance will be appreciated.

In resource.h:
#define WM_DOSOMETHING 12345//or whatever
In mainfrm.h, add a custom-message handler:
afx_msg LRESULT OnDoSomething(WPARAM,LPARAM);

In the BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP macro in mainfrm.cpp:
ON_MESSAGE(WM_DOSOMETHING,OnDoSomething)

In the implementation for OnDoSomething:

LRESULT CMainFrame::OnDoSomething(WPARAM,LPARAM)<br />
{<br />
m_wndToolBar.GetToolBarCtrl().EnableButton(ID_EDIT_COPY,FALSE);<br />
m_wndToolBar.RedrawWindow();<br />
return 0;<br />
}

In your view class:

void CWhateverView::OnUpdateEditCopy(CCmdUI* pCmdUI) <br />
{<br />
if (m_bDisable)<br />
	pCmdUI->Enable(FALSE);<br />
else<br />
	pCmdUI->Enable(TRUE);<br />
}

In your function for long operation:

void CWhateverView::OnEditCopy() <br />
{<br />
	m_bDisable = TRUE;<br />
	BeginWaitCursor();<br />
	AfxGetApp()->GetMainWnd()->SendMessage(WM_DOSOMETHING);<br />
//long operation begin...<br />
	int i, j,k;<br />
	for (i = 0; i < 10000; i++)<br />
	for (j = 0; j < 10000; j++)<br />
	for (k = 0; k < 5; k++)<br />
	{<br />
	}<br />
//long operation end.<br />
	m_bDisable = FALSE;<br />
}

And don't forget to declare m_bDisable in CWhateverView.h and initialize it as m_bDisable = FALSE; in the class constructor.

this is this.

every type of application can be content what you want,but more important is that you should write a derived class from CButton(for example),and override some virtual methods and message-functions.

if so, have a look hhere[^] , there are examples on how to create graphs and plot.

OK, that was simple, but you lost me. You need to rethink your question. It looks like you need a dialog based application.

Their is probably someone who can answer this question, but it is not me.
Rethink the question and give a little bit more imformation.

1) What Fortran compiler (or version) are you using (very improtant).

Blast! I could only think of one. But that one is important!
