Re: When a Non-Modal Window is Closed which Even Is fired

The CWnd::OnDestroy() should be called as per documentation.

Extract from MSDN : "This method is called by the framework to inform the CWnd object that it is being destroyed. OnDestroy is called after the CWnd object is removed from the screen."

I guess, something went wrong when you add your message handler for WM_DESTROY. Try once again by adding WM_DESTROY message handler by using class wizard.

Did you add entries to the window class' message map so
those methods would actually get called?

Handle the WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC message. Check here[^] for code snippet.

gr8, and mfc is just a wrapper over win32.
In OnCtlColor of your class do this

if(pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID ()==IDC_STATIC1) //id of static control
{
pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(255,0,0));

}

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

MFC is a wrapper framework over win32 api to make our life easier. Well, you could add ON_WM_CTLCOLOR() in you message map and implement afx_msg HBRUSH OnCtlColor( CDC*, CWnd*, UINT );

Hi,

Try like this...

HBRUSH CDialog::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
	HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);

    if( pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID() == IDC_STATIC1)
    {
        hbr = CreateSolidBrush(RGB(240, 240, 240));
        return hbr;
    }
	return hbr;
}

The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.

Thanks and Regards.

hi,

Actually my static label text value is being set during run time so its background becomes white and not tranparent using SetBkMode.
What to do.

Thanks

See the Extras section of this article. It changes the text to bold, but using color instead is a trivial matter.

Best way to create a dialog-based app displaying several dialog pages, similar to Microsoft Installer Engine

Erik25-Aug-08 1:46

Hello,

I am planning to write a dialog-based application that behaves similar to the microsoft installer, i.e. I will have to display several pages of information where the user can read text, and make some desicions using several controls. Each time the user presses the "Next" button in my app, he will be presented a new dialog-page with new information and new controls. Optionally, the user can press the "Previous" button to step back one page.

My question now is very simple: what is - technically - the best way to create this kind of application using MFC. I have already thought about having various dialog windows, which are controlled from within my "App" class. Another possibility would be to have all controls of all available pages in only one dialog resource, and make only the ones visible that are required in a certain step, and hide all the other ones.

I don't like either way, since there are disadvantages, so I am asking for your oppinion: how would you create this app?

Thanks alot.

CPropertySheet[^] will be the best choice. Look here[^]and here[^] about how to use it.
