The MFC tip of zafir Anjum on how to select an entire row works only,as describe, with CListCtrl derived classes.I found a astonishing sample in MSDEV Samples book which allow to useonly (!!) a CListView derived class (called CListViewEx) to do so,without any CListCtrl-derived class (or just in orde...

I have created an MDI project and incorporated the classes supplied in the article "Visual Studio/Office 97 style Flat Toolbar and Dockable Menu bar" and the main menu does not appear. The popup menues are accessable via the keyboard shortcuts but the menu is gone. I believe I have made all the pr...

Hi,please help me - I need some kind of fix to this problem.I have taken TransparentBlt source from this site; it works like charm when blitting to the display; however blitting to a printer (HP LJ 4, Postscript) does not work; the parts that should be transparent are printed out black instead!What...

The author of CStringEX should run Purify(memory checker) on CStringEx. It particularly complains about writing out of bounds in the Delete() function.

For a report-style CListCtrl, I use SetItemData() method to store some values, when I use GetItemData() I get 0 (zero) especially for the first item in the control whereas the real value has nothing to do with it.<br/>Any ideas?<br/>Thanks

Hi,I went on testing TransparentBlt code from this site and I have found something quite strange:If the source bitmap going to TransparentBlt function is a DIBSection, the result is funny. It seems that the blt of source DC and mask DC (that one with SRCAND ROP) fucks up the colors of the DIBsection...

In "Owner Drawn Menu with Icon",how to derive a class from CMenu.<br/>I was not able to create using ClassWizard.Should i create my own class?.

TBN_HOTITEMCHANGE, TBDDRET_DEFAULT, LPNMTBHOTITEM : undeclared identifier<br/>Thanks.

I have found that the CCoolMenuManager class leaks memory in an application with a standard MFC MRU on the "File" menu. The "ConvertMenu" function continually allocates memory at the "pmd = new CMyItemData;" statement for the MRU items in the list everytime the menu drops down.My guess is that when...

Hi,after testing Zafir's code for resizing property pages, I came to this conclusion: For new versions of comctl32.dll it works like charm. However, for outdated versions of comctl32.dll (the one which is distributed with original Win95 installation - or the one which is distributed with Win32s...

The listctrl sorting algo on this site seems to only move the text around, not the entire LV_ITEM. This is very noticable when you are using the lParam for each item. Is it possible to fix this?

In MFC print preview the scroll bar allows you to easily scroll through the pages to be printed. If you zoom in on part of the displayed page the scrollbars change to allow you to scroll the zoomed area around the page.When you zoom out again the scroll bars do not return to their former state.

Some days ago I posted a note about a problem with CListCtrl. But no reactions. Now I found out a little bit more about it.Here is the BUG:(I use WinNT 4.0, VC5)Create a MFC application as dialog based (MainDialog).Create a dialog resource (ChildDialog).Set dialog style to CHILD.Place a list control...

The function CSplitterWnd::OnMouseWheel asserts if _any_ pane in the splitteris not handled by a CScrollView-derived class. This looks like a bug to me;CSplitterWnd is meant to handle any CView class. Also, CScrollView itself assumes that if it is part of a splitter, then the splitter will handle t...

I have followed the sample on creating an ownerdrawn CListCtrl but DrawItem is never called, lots of people on usenet have the same problem, any Ideas?

I downloaded the sample project using the ComboBox in the MFC Grid Control. When I try to unzip it, Winzip gives the message "Cannot open file: does not appear to be a valid archive".<br/>Thanks

If you want to have the ON_UPDATE_CMD_UI called, just do the two following things :1. Derive you toolbar from CToolBar, to add the hanfdler for WM_IDLEUPDATECMDUI (as shown in MFC code for CFrameWnd) but, before calling the parent's function, cast the this pointer to CFrameWnd*,2. Override the...

The code for the flat owner drawn buttons does not work properly when using a bitmap. When the bitmap button is in a disabled state, no draw action isundertaken at all. A quick solution to this is to move the actual draw code contained in DrawItem (i.e. the else part of the if(!hBitmap)), and put it...

I took src from dev-archive with owner draw list. Decided to add drag and drop feature and noticed that CreateDragImage() doesnt create correct image (Im getting empty image) if no image list attached to control. If there is image list CreateDragImage() creates only bitmap part and no text label pa...

I have come across two small draw bugs with this otherwise excellent class:1.

I have noticed a small problem with the 3D display of disabled accelerator keys. The 3D look of the text after the tab (accelerator key) has a wrong offset.This can be easily fixed by adding one line of code to the DrawItem function (see below).bool CMenuSpawn::DrawItem(LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT lp){...........

I used HTML help in a property page of a modeless property sheet. When closing the application, a GPF occurs (read in memory 0x0000000). When not clicking on the help page (ie OnInitDialog is not called), everything wents OK. What goes wrong in my project?

When using the precompiled DLL file and sample,I get 2 bad behaviours:1)MenuThe menu DOES NOT APPEAR AT ALL if the window is NOT maximized !That means the menu appears (and works well) only if the windowis maximized.2)ToolbarThe toolbar works in all cases, but: a)When you customize the toolbar and t...

If you try the example given where the string is "(415) 555-7777", and you call GetDelimitedField("(", ")", 0 ), the method should return "415". However, all I ever got was "". There is a fix.

Correction to "Autosize a column to fit its content - Roger Onslow"I modified the source to work from a CListView rather than a Ctrl. However we had an annoying flicker that I traced to SetColumnWidth(). SetRedraw(false) did not suffice (this is very apparent with a non-white background, you can se...
