Hello guys,
In my dialog based MFC application I have two Static Control in which I saw text.
There is no menu and nothing else on that dialog box.
Now I want to put some code so that I can terminate the application by pressing any key or key combination with Alt or Ctrl key or some Function key.
For that I have tried WM_KeyDown and OnKeyDown and OnChar() functions but as focus is on Static control I m not able to capture that KeyDown event.
Some one suggested me to use Accelarator but that also I am not sure will work or not ? If yes then is there any simple example how to attache accelarator to my dialog(or static control )?
Thank you very much

I'm not sure of the exact name, but it's **_NOTIFY. you have to add this to your style for your static control either in the resource.h file, or in the create() statement (if you create it dynamically). Static controls won't process any clicks, keypresses, or anything until you add this to the style argument.

Hi
I have a dialog based MFC application. In this I want to color my dialog, but I don't want to color whole dialog, instead i want to leave a some pixels of border on all four side of dialog.
I am able to color my dialog by putting this code into my MyDlg.cpp file
HBRUSH CMyDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
hbr = CreateSolidBrush(RGB(255,0,0));
return hbr;
}
How can I leave the border around my dialog ?
Any help..
Thankx in advance..

here you have a memory leak
HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
hbr = CreateSolidBrush(RGB(255,0,0));
return hbr;
creating a brush every time that a control of dialog, request it
do on OnPaint()
{
CPaintDC dc(this);
CRect rc;
GetClientRect( &rc );
rc.DeflateRect(10,10,10,10);
dc.FillSolidRect( &rc, RGB(0,0,0));
}

Simple. Just looking for a good site that goes over all the basics of MFC, possibly with some good tutorials. Any help?

CodeProject is awesome. I'd say the best part about this site is the forum for programmers to answer other programmer's questions. The articles are great, too, but at times too specialized for what I'm looking for. I mean, beyond the basic listing of member functions that MSDN gives me, a site that really teaches all the basics of MFC. I have some great sources here in the office, but I don't like to bug them for help when I'm trying to learn a new control or feature. (new = I haven't used it yet)

Have you seen the Scribble tutorial on MSDN? It starts from scratch and builds up to a very detailed application.

I know you didn't ask for a book, but I really think you should treat yourself with "MFC Internals" by George Shepherd and Scot Wingo. It's very old (1996), covers MFC 4.0 (many versions back) but it is still the bible of MFC programming. It covers all the fundamental functionalities of MFC and gives you an in-depth understanding of the framework. And MFC really haven't changed that much since 4.0. I regularly read it although I've been programming MFC for 10 years. You can get some used copies for about $7 at Amazon.
Another must-have book is "Programming Visual C++" by Kruglinski, Wingo and Shepherd, also available used at Amazon (<$5)

Thanks, I like to use books better actually. I've spent all my money for this month (literally), so I'll have to wait 'till next month to see if I have money, but I'll look into it.

Hi all,
I have a dialog box which has rich-edit as child control inside it.
When i click inside the rich-edit box, focus is in the rich-edit.
Now when i press 'Tab' key from here, then text in rich-edit is highlighted.
But focus does not move outside rich-edit. Instead i want the focus to move to other controls in the main dialog, when i press 'Tab' key inside rich-edit.
Please suggest on how should i handle Tab key notification for rich-edit in this dialog.
Thanks in Advance

use LayOut-->TabOrder (ctrl+D) menu.
set ordering.

Hi prasad,
i have set tab-order appropriately.
But since rich-edit is a child control inside the dialog, on pressing tab control does not go outside rich-edit.
Please see if you find the solution.
Tell me if the problem is clear.
Thanks

The behavior you describe is not the default. You are doing something else in your code that is causing this behavior. To verify this, create a temporary dialog-based application, add a rich edit control to the dialog template, call AfxInitRichEdit() in InitInstance(), and run the application. Notice anything different?

How do i use functions that have been defined in a dll?
For example:
I built a ATL/Dll that has a class definition. This class has some methods and atributtes. How can i use that methods and atributtes in a other project?
I'm using Visual c++ 6.0;
I wait for reply!
Greatful!
