Using CMFCStatusBar class How do you Set the Text for a Label(dynamically)
-
I've tried SetWindowTextA(...,....) and SetDlgItemTextA(..,...) but nothing works. There must be a command somewhere where you can change on-the-fly messages contained in a Window Pane of a StatusBar. Does someone know how? I'm using VS2008, MFC.

Did you see CStatusBar::SetPaneText?

Did you see CStatusBar::SetPaneText?
Yes that works! I don't know why I didn't see that command, but I'm glad you elightened me. Another question: Is there a way, to "on-the-fly",to enlarge a particular pane so that it fits the needed space for new text?

Larry, 50 minutes has passed between your posts. It would take you less than 5 to go read the documentation on msnd.microsoft.com for the class. Logically it's more productive for you to read the documentation than wait for answers in internet forums. So the 50 cent question here is, why do you refuse to read the documentation?

Okay, I checked out MSDN Lib rary on CStatusBar class. I found nothing explaining what command to enlarge the Pane for the new Text. Do you know where I can find that out?, or better still, what that command might be?

They probably hide that in the documentation eh? Slimy bastards! They should be hung by their balls! :-D

CStatusBaris not the same class asCMFCStatusBar.led mike

I noticed in MSDN under CMFCStatusBar that there is a SetPaneWidth() but How do you set a particular Pane's width using that command. if my pane is ID_PANE3 how would I set the width on it to fit the length of a CString? (I sure wished they would show examples of this stuff.)

I am apprehensive for you why? because you flagrant their secrets of course I know you are a donor man. :-D

I find that using a function with various arguments uncovers a lot about its usage. Try something like:
mfcStatusBar.SetPaneWidth(ID_PANE3, 500);

Yes I see that; but If my pane is ID_PANE3 how would I get focus on it and do this CPane::AdjustSizeImmediate() . How do I set the length(not Width) to equal(in pixels) to a CString? (An example would be great.)

What i'd try is to call that on the MFCStatusBar itself with TRUE as parameter, so something like:
my_mfc_statusbar.AdjustSizeImmediate(TRUE);> The problem with computers is that they do what you tell them to do and not what you want them to do. <

Program crashed on that command David.

They do, you just need to stop thinking that you will find a combined example for your specific needs.

That is one specific thing which is clearly depicted in the documentation for the class.

Finding the pixel width of string is an entirely separate subject that there are examples for. If you stop looking for combined examples and learn to break your problems down to the individual parts and solve each of them you might find you are more successful in the field of Software Development.

Also, stop using the word "command". Classes have methods, not commands. C libraries have functions, not commands. When you are using text based communications, applying the correct words is extremely helpful.

It crashed because the ID_PANE3 is not supposed to be there, rather the nIndex of the Pane is supposed to be there. Works okay if set to 250 rather than 500. Thanks David.
