User Button Notification Codes: BN_CLICKED, is there a way to get notification when it is unclicked?
-
Hello all, VC6, MFC, XP My application has a Formview based view with many static controls all over it. The CStatic controls are used in a similar fashion as CButtons are used: The user makes selections by pressing on them. I really do have my reasons for not using the CButton control, but even if I were to use it, I need to find a way to get notified when the 'button' is released. When they are pressed, I do get the BN_CLICKED messages, but I can not find any messages (in WinUser.h) that could be returned when the buttons are released. Is there such a message? Any suggestions or tips to get or simulate this message would be appreciated and be a great help! I'm working with a timer based work around, however the application really needs to track exactly how long the button is down. Best Regards, Paul

I don't remember the details, however there is bound to be some mouse down and mouse up events. :)

Yes thank you! I was playing with those in the static derived class - I need to be able to forward those messages in a similar manner and form as the BS_CLICKED message. In other words, the View handles the message in the following fashion:
ON_CONTROL(BN_UNCLICKED, ID_BUTTONx, OnButtonUnClicked)afx_msg void OnButtonUnClicked(UINT nID)Now if I can only find the parameters in the SendMessage function to send such a message above... -

If the button stays "in" after it has been clicked, it sounds as though you need to look at
BN_PUSHEDandBN_UNPUSHED. If that won't work, you may have to use theBS_OWNERDRAWbutton style and theDRAWITEMSTRUCTstructure for this task."One man's wage rise is another man's price increase." - Harold Wilson

Hello David, Thank you for replying.
BN_UNPUSHEDwas the first thing I tried, yet I wouldn't get the notification. I suspect that notification isn't sent for static controls like it is sent for button controls. :| Regards, Paul -

Hi Roger - Really appreciate your articles, I've learned quite a few things from reading them! ;) The static controls are created dynamically; I specify the following as the style:
#define DEFAULT_STATIC_STYLE ES_CENTER|WS_BORDER|BS_NOTIFYI do get the BN_CLICKED notifications, but not the BN_UNPUSHED notifications. Is there another flag that I need to set? I don't believe so, I suspect the CStatic control doesn't send that type of notification. :wtf: Thank you, Paul
