Dialogs always on top 4-Sep-01 5:28 4-Sep-01 5:28  I am using several modeless dialog boxes which exist for the life of the (SDI) application, These dialogs need to be visible in front of the application window while still allowing interaction with the application. I have used the system model attribute on the dialogs, however this means that the dialogs obscure any other dialogs such as the file dialog. I need to keep the dialogs on top of the main application without obscuring any other windows... Can anyne help.. Thanks in advance..

Just create the modeless dialog box normally (ie "CDialog::Create(IDD_MY_DLG);" and you are done. It doesn't need extra flags, and can't have the system modal flag set. - John New-b question about dialog boxes RobJones4-Sep-01 5:16 RobJones 4-Sep-01 5:16  Hello, I have a question about dialog boxes. I have a dialog type application and I need to "DoModal()" other dialog boxes within the app, eg. DialogA is main app and i need to DoModal() to open DialogB.. my question is, I want to use timers on the created dialog boxes (DialogB), will the timer stay active/keep running if DialogB is "OnOK()"/Closed but the main app (DialogA) is still running? If not, how can I hide and unhide Dialog B without closing it. Thanks, RobJones Re: New-b question about dialog boxes Christian Graus4-Sep-01 12:32 Christian Graus 4-Sep-01 12:32  If the dialog is closed, it is destroyed. You want a modeless dialog box, and use ShowWindow(SW_SHOW/SW_HIDE) to close it/open it. You can easily set a flag in your main dialog to make it appear modal by making the main dialog unresponsive.

I have implemented this code.. it appears to be working but I'm not sure I'm doing this correctly or if I should be doing this differently.. In the main dialog application I use this to open the modeless dialog: void CBSDeluxeDlg::OnBAdd1() { if (!::IsWindow(m_dlgAdd1.GetSafeHwnd())) m_dlgAdd1.Create(IDD_ADD1, this); m_dlgAdd1.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW); } In the properties of IDD_ADD1 Dialog box I have style "Overlapped" if I use style "child" all the buttons from the main app show through the modeless dialog and I can't use any of the controls of the modeless box.. now to hide the dialog box I use the following code when the OK button is pushed. void CAdd1Dlg::OnBOk1() { CAdd1Dlg::ShowWindow(SW_HIDE); } I havent tested to see if the dialog stays active and is just hidden.. I wanted to make sure that the code was correct first.. Thanks for all your help! Rob Jones Re: New-b question about dialog boxes Christian Graus5-Sep-01 13:34 Christian Graus 5-Sep-01 13:34  That looks right. I tend to create modeless dialogs as pointers and set to NULL, but I like the way you've done it, I may have to try it that way in future...

See my article "Timers tutorial" to find more about it. I vote pro drink Need a good tutorial The PeteMan4-Sep-01 5:00 The PeteMan 4-Sep-01 5:00  Hi, I need to find a good tutorial on how to use MFC. Basically, what I am trying to do is use MFC-designed dialogs (maybe from a dll) with ActiveX controls in them from a non-appwizard application. Thanks. Re: Need a good tutorial RobJones4-Sep-01 5:19 RobJones 4-Sep-01 5:19  You could look here http://www.adminmod.org/karel/2/index.htm This is a "How to" type site so it's pretty basic, but it also has some good information.. Hope it helps, Rob Jones Re: Need a good tutorial Hano8-Sep-01 11:44 Hano 8-Sep-01 11:44  One of the best i had found around is http://devcentral.iftech.com/default.php it has alot about MFC and VC++ win32 programming ________________________________________________ Those that have really found the meaning, dont find it meaningful Urgent:: Problem in Changing the style of ComboBox Dhanush4-Sep-01 4:40 Dhanush 4-Sep-01 4:40  Hello everybody, In a program i need to change the style of a ComboBox (Using Win32 SDK) from CBS_DROPDOWN to CBS_DROPDOWNLIST (either way).

Equivilant of JScript's "split" in C++ 4-Sep-01 3:49 4-Sep-01 3:49  Hi, I’ve been trying for most of the day now to write a function that is basically the same as JScript's split function (you pass a string containing one or more key letters, and the key letter, and the function returns an array [or list] of the strings). e.g. (pseudo code). CStringList Foo::Split(CString strBigString, CString srtKeyletter) { .. do stuff here that creates an array of keyletter delimited strings return [CStringList containing the strings] } However, I can’t get it to work. Not even slightly! Could anyone here help? Yours, Peter Re: Equivilant of JScript's John Connah4-Sep-01 4:36 John Connah 4-Sep-01 4:36  Hi Peter, are you after a strtok or wstrtok type function. Its a c library call that tokenizes as you describe http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vccore98/HTML/_crt_strtok.2c_.wcstok.2c_._mbstok.asp or use the CString FindOneOf to implement what you want John Re: Equivilant of JScript's 5-Sep-01 11:43 5-Sep-01 11:43  Thanks, i've managed to write a function using wstrtok that does exactly what I wanted. Does not ANYONE know how to kill this bug?!?!!?!?! Tommy H D Svensson4-Sep-01 3:12 Tommy H D Svensson 4-Sep-01 3:12  Hi again, Somebody has to know how to fix this... cause I can't! If you use nested splitters and click on a splitter bar WITHOUT moving the bar, the bar automatically moves 2 pixels to the right (or down). Why is that? It's a CSplitterWnd bug but I can't seem to get around it... NEW: I can mail you a sample project for anyone interested in removing this bug! Just mail me! All help is greatly appreciated, /Tommy Re: Does not ANYONE know how to kill this bug?!?!!?!?! The_Server4-Sep-01 13:37 The_Server 4-Sep-01 13:37  maybe it's because you move the mouse without noticing. BTW: for some of you that wished for CodeProject irc server I create a channle on DalNet called "#CodeProject" Re: Does not ANYONE know how to kill this bug?!?!!?!?! Tommy H D Svensson5-Sep-01 2:46 Tommy H D Svensson 5-Sep-01 2:46  No, I'm not accidentally moving the mouse... Somebody please solve this!!! /Tommy
