1.Get IHTMLDocument2 interface with GetDHtmlDocument
2.Get entire body tag with spDoc->get_body
3.Call spBodyElement->offsetHeight and spBodyElement->offsetWidth to determine the body element's size (i.e. that of the full HTML page)
4.Resize your dialog with CWnd::MoveWindow accordingly

Problem of above approach: you first show, measure and then resize your HTML, which entails some flickering.
To avoid it, first of all parse your HTML from file or resource without displaying it as described in

http://www.codeproject.com/internet/parse_html.asp

(equivalent to 1./) then do steps 2./ 3./ and 4./ in "silent" mode.

Hrm. That seems to return the size of the client area, not the size required to display the document.

I have the following in my class derived from CDHtmlDialog, in an overridden ShowContextMenu() handler.

<br />
        LONG nHeight, nWidth;<br />
	IHTMLDocument2 *pDocument;<br />
        IHTMLElement *pElement;<br />
<br />
	GetDHtmlDocument(&pDocument);<br />
	pDocument->get_body(&pElement);<br />
	pElement->get_offsetHeight(&nHeight);<br />
	pElement->get_offsetWidth(&nWidth);<br />
<br />
	TRACE("Document width = %d\n", nWidth);<br />
        TRACE("Document height = %d\n", nHeight);<br />
<br />
	pElement->Release();<br />
	pDocument->Release();<br />
<br />
        CRect rect;<br />
        GetClientRect(&rect);<br />
<br />
        TRACE("Client width = %d\n", rect.Width());<br />
        TRACE("Client height = %d\n", rect.Height());<br />
<br />
         ASSERT(nWidth == rect.Width());<br />
         ASSERT(nHeight == rect.Height());<br />

The width and height are always equal to the respective attributes of the client rectangle.

Using the technique from http://www.codeproject.com/internet/parse_html.asp, the document width and height are always 0.

Am I missing something?

Sorry, I was wrong when I suggested that you should get the entire body, because its sizes really equal to the entire body, consequently you cannot get anything else but the size of your entire DHTML client area in this way.

So, my new suggestion is that you take a pointer to that element only, the size of which you wanna get.
If you are interested in several elements at a time like <a>,<img> <table>etc. then put them all into one single <div> element, and deal with this container of elements.

In order to get a pointer to an element you can either
1.loop through all elements by checking for some property, like id, name, tagname etc., using IHTMLDocument2::get_all, and IHTMLElementCollection::item,(>=IE4), or
2.use IHTMLDocument3::getElementById, getElementsByName or getElementsByTagName (>=IE5)

The simplest thing is to give your element in question (or container element) an id attribute, e.g.
<div id="YourDivID">...</div>, so that you can find it.

Remark to your code: consider using smart pointers, which makes your task significantly easier by eliminating QueryInterfacing and releasing pointers.

CComPtr<IHTMLDocument2> spDoc;
//or 
MSHTML::IHTMLDocument2Ptr spDoc;

Your code:

MSHTML::IHTMLElementPtr spElem;
MSHTML::IHTMLDocument3Ptr spDoc3(spDoc);
spDoc3->getElementByID(CComBSTR("YourDivID"),&spElem);
spElem->get_offsetHeight(&nHeight);
spElem->get_offsetWidth(&nWidth);

That seems to work after the content is displayed (i.e. OnDocumentComplete()), but using the offscreen rendering technique, the width and height still return 0. Sigh | :sigh:

I am still interested to know how to determine the width and height of an offscreen HTML document, if you have any suggestions.

However, thank you for answering my original question!

Re: Size of a CDHTMLDialog?

Peter Molnar9-Dec-03 10:38

I am glad the second suggestion worked!

As for the the offscreen method, 2 thoughts:
1.According to your experience, a not shown HTML window has no sizes. This might be surprising at first sight but it is quite obvious at the second: how a text is rendered in a HTML container window, depends on the current window's width and height, unless you specified some style either for the whole doc or just for the given element. If the window has no size, no rendering is possible.

MSHTML::IHTMLStylePtr spStyle;
spElem->get_style(&spStyle);
spStyle->get_width(...);
spStyle->get_height(...);

This actually gets the stylesheet's current width and height data as seen from the element, but there is not much chance that it will show any realistic sizes if you didn't specify any such style beforehand.

2.Create an invisible child window on your DHTML dialog from activeX, and do on it whatever you wanted to in an "invisible" manner. Such a window should have a width and a height, as result of which a text is supposed to be rendered.

Here is a working code that resizes dialog window to the size of the body. Note that you should set body margin to 0 (e.g. with CSS).

Note that if you would want to also set width then you would have to set it first and recalculate and set height afterwards.

C++

// Called by the framework to notify an application when a document has achieved the READYSTATE_COMPLETE state.
void CYourDialogClassDlg::OnDocumentComplete(LPDISPATCH pDisp, LPCTSTR szUrl)
{
	CDHtmlDialog::OnDocumentComplete(pDisp, szUrl);

	// get document height (note - you need to set body margin to 0!)
	LONG nHeight;
	IHTMLDocument2 *pDocument;
	IHTMLElement *pElement;
	GetDHtmlDocument(&pDocument);
	pDocument->get_body(&pElement);
	pElement->get_offsetHeight(&nHeight);

	// get client to real window height difference
	LONG nHeightDiff;
	CRect rectClient;
	GetClientRect(&rectClient);
	CRect rectWindow;
	GetWindowRect(&rectWindow);
	nHeightDiff = rectWindow.Height() - rectClient.Height();

	// set height to fit body
	SetWindowPos(NULL, 0, 0, rectWindow.Width(), nHeight+nHeightDiff, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOZORDER);
}

Of course you'll also need declaration in your h:

C++

virtual void OnDocumentComplete(LPDISPATCH pDisp, LPCTSTR szUrl);

But it did not worked.

m_Icon needs to persist as long as the application. If this is a dialog-based application, make m_Icon a member of the dialog object.

I tried the same thing a while back. And it does seem that WM_KEYUP messages do not get processed. Who knows? A solution to your problem is a simple keyboard hook. This makes it very reliable to get all keyboard messages back. All it involves is a simple call to SetWindowsHookEx and a call back function for the handling the keyboard messages. Here's a link to a code project article that answers this problem...

I think you can use the index array values for X and
the values of array for Y value.

Ex: X = 1,2,....
Y = 12, 16

Someone can help to build.
I have the code to the TreeView, but I can´t syncronize with RichEditCtrlView.
On wrong manner I did´t with conteiner that is required to RichEditCtrlView.
And I did´t used CEditCtrlDoc - I used CDocument.
Without the modifications a Assert is triggered, only function with the ignore option.
I did everything again with the conteiner, but on function OnUpdate of RichEditCtrlView doesn´t recognize the change of the line on tree with the archive to be seen on the RichEditCtrlView.
I don´t how to include the CEditCtrlDoc .
If is possible I can send the code

Setting the cursor of a button?

2-Dec-03 4:19

Hi,

Does anyone know how I could set it so that when I move the mouse over a button in an application I'm writing, the cursor will change to something else?

Right now I have the cursor set to something for the main window, but when the cursor moves over a button it switches bact to the default. I want it to use the same cursor as I'm using for the parent window, but I can't find any way to do this.

Thanks,
Kelly

Try handling the mouse move message. Check to see if cursor is within the button vis PtInRect(). Set cursor.

The only problem is, I don't want to set the actual windows cursor using SetCursor, I want to give the buttons individual cursors in the same way that a cursor would be set such as wndclassex.hCursor = etc

I don't want to have to worry about the program crashing/shutting down etc and not getting back my original cursor, as I've had bad experiences with SetCursor in the past. Maybe there isn't a way to do what I'm asking, or maybe there's a way to manipulate SetCursor to do it for me? Basically my ultimate goal is to only have the cursor changed inside my application, which is what it does now with the parent window, but not with the buttons..

Thanks

How to convert a UNICODE string to double data type?

Hello,

I want to convert a UNICODE string to double data type.
With non unicode strings I use the "atof" function.
For converting a UNICODE string to long data type there is
the function "_wtol". In the .net library there is the function
"_wtof".
How do I convert a UNICODE string to double data type in Visual C++ 6.0??

Thanks
