Re: How to get dimensions of client area without toolbars? Christian Graus18-Dec-02 18:07 Christian Graus 18-Dec-02 18:07  The docked toolbars sit inside a child window, if you could find that, you could get it's size and subtract it from GetClientRect.

Mr.Freeze18-Dec-02 19:15 Mr.Freeze 18-Dec-02 19:15  Thank you Christian, I tried that, but when the toolBar is docked, it seems that the dimensions obtained with GetClientRect don't match the docking area. Also if I have several toolBars I have to check each single toolBar's status (docked or floating) and then its dimensions. Also what happens if several toolBars dock together on more than one row? Re: How to get dimensions of client area without toolbars? Christian Graus18-Dec-02 19:22 Christian Graus 18-Dec-02 19:22  The child window that holds the toolbars is called a CMiniDockFrameWnd. You need to find those, and grab their dimensions, I think. Or create a View, maximise it, and get IT'S dimensions.

Chris Richardson19-Dec-02 18:23 Chris Richardson 19-Dec-02 18:23  There is a CWnd member called RepositionBars. You can call it like this: CRect a_oRealClientArea( 0, 0, 0, 0 ); pYourFrameWnd->RepositionBars( AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_FIRST, AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_LAST, 0, CWnd::reposQuery, &a_oRealClientArea, NULL, FALSE ); Chris Richardson Programmers find all sorts of ingenious ways to screw ourselves over. - Tim Smith Re: How to get dimensions of client area without toolbars?

How to activate view in splitter Frame super18-Dec-02 17:17 super 18-Dec-02 17:17  Im developing a Application which looks like the Windows Explorer..Left Side view is a Treeview and righ side view is a Form view. I have a implemented a Find Functionality to search the nodes in the tree wrt to node text in the tree view.The problem is that when i find the particular node I call <br /> treectrl->SelectItem(hItem)<br /> Becos of this OnSelchange event is called and so the coressponding rightside view is displayed..My problem is that to use Find Next again my treeview should be active but that is not the case.So to enable Find next i have to click in treeview to make it active and so that the menu is also enabled... Is there any way to overcome this problem....(ie)After onSelchange event i want again my tree view to be active for further tree operations. cheers, Super ------------------------------------------ Too much of good is bad,mix some evil in it Re: How to activate view in splitter Frame Jeff J18-Dec-02 18:35 Jeff J 18-Dec-02 18:35  My initial thought is that it might be better to avoid activating the right-side at all after searching, rather than having it activate and then deactivate. If you could store a flag value somewhere, that indicates whether a node selection was caused by your find function, you could check it in your OnSelchange event, and avoid activating the right-side there. I would also think you might always want to keep the treeview active while the user works in it, just as you mentioned, since most applications work that way. Sounds like you might need to focus on the OnSelchange event. Cheers Re: How to activate view in splitter Frame super18-Dec-02 19:45 super 18-Dec-02 19:45  Well Ur sugession was Good and it solved the problem of doing Tree operation.. Now i just have a small hiccup... When During Find if i find the correct node then i have to activate the right view...But the problem is Onselchange event is not firing if i call <br /> treectrl->SelectItem(hItem)<br /> after reseting the flag.....Even if i PostMessage(TVN_SELCHANGE) also..No use.. So... any idea cheers, Super ------------------------------------------ Too much of good is bad,mix some evil in it Re: How to activate view in splitter Frame Jeff J19-Dec-02 9:22 Jeff J 19-Dec-02 9:22  When you say you need to "activate" the right view, do you mean you have to fill it with information, or that you have to set the focus on it, or both? I do not know what kind of control(s) you have in the right view, but it should be possible to fill the controls with information, and yet avoid moving the focus to a control in the right view. Re: How to activate view in splitter Frame super19-Dec-02 17:10 super 19-Dec-02 17:10  I want to Display the Right side view For the corresponding Node..So it means I have to Fill the Right side view with the data's.... My class will handle the filling if i can just display the Right side view. Im handling the Filling of data in the InitialUpdate of that View class.. So I just have to fire that OnSelchanged() event in the tree.. cheers, Super ------------------------------------------ Too much of good is bad,mix some evil in it Re: How to activate view in splitter Frame Jeff J19-Dec-02 21:38 Jeff J 19-Dec-02 21:38  Hmmm... I assume you verifed that manually selecting a node with the mouse fires OnSelchanged(), so this is puzzling. Did you check if hItem is valid? Is it possible that OnSelchanged() is being called, but that it is not doing what you need? I also assume you sent the TVN_SELCHANGED message within a WM_NOTIFY message (with the NMTREEVIEW and NMHDR structures filled-in validly), and that it was sent to the window that owns the treeview. Forgive me, but I usually find it is the tiniest mistakes that cause such problems, which are often missed the first time the code is checked. It is hard to guess without seeing the actual code...

Christian Graus18-Dec-02 22:51 Christian Graus 18-Dec-02 22:51  What you're saying makes no sense. ALL printers are visible globally, if you have more than one then one must be the default, and there fore the one you print with. You want to change things like which pages you print and the page alignment ? The CPrintDialog does that, I am sure.

It'll print to "My Printer" and use global "My Printer" setting 3) so I must write another application to motitor print_job.exe process and check paper_size on job_file and then modify global "My Printer" setting 4) I try to use OpenPrinter , DocumentProperties and SetPrinter but It doesn't work. I can't set paper size to printer setting I try level 2 (Printer_info_2) , level 8 (Printer_info_8) and level 9 (Printer_info_9).

Is it possible for a method to return a pointer to an object? The only ActiveX return type I see that looks reasonable to use is LPUNKNOWN, but I run across all kinds of problems when trying to use it. I'll keep researching, and reading about methods, but if someone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. For the sake of discussion, assume my ctrl class has a member variable of... CMyClass *testptr; CMyClass has been dynamically allocated in the ctrl, and I want the container to have access to it. Is this possible, or is it a violation of ActiveX design standards? Thanks. Re: ActiveX method return value question Nitron18-Dec-02 13:41 Nitron 18-Dec-02 13:41  Most of the third party ActiveX components I work with return VARIANT, whuch I then access it's particular data member and then cast it to the proper data type. I think this is mainly for compatibility with, well... *whispers* vb - Nitron "Those that say a task is impossible shouldn't interrupt the ones who are doing it." - Chinese Proverb
