How to get cursor position in status bar?
-
Hello...This question may sound silly to some of you but I've been stuck on it for few days and can't find any answer... So I need to have the mouse position x and y displayed in the status bar. So far I add new string to the table, in the indicators array, afx_msg void OnUpdateCurPos(CCmdUI *pCmdUI) in the message map and ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(ID_INDICATOR_CURSOR,OnUpdateCurPos) When I run it's there but can't find the right way to update the cords. I think it must work with ON_MOUSEMOVE func...I've tried several codes in ON_MOUSEMOVE and OnUpdateCurPos but it doesn't work at all... Working with SDI.
What does your
OnUpdateCurPos()andOnMouseMove()functions look like? Have you calledSetCapture()?"One man's wage rise is another man's price increase." - Harold Wilson
"Fireproof doesn't mean the fire will never come. It means when the fire comes that you will be able to withstand it." - Michael Simmons

Well that is the problem :P I've added SetCapture() when you press LButton, but I'm not rly sure if I need it?
void CMainFrame::OnLButtonDown(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{
// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
SetCapture();
CFrameWnd::OnLButtonDown(nFlags, point);
}void CMainFrame::OnMouseMove(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{
// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
if(GetCapture()==this){
posX=point.x;
posY=point.y;
}
CFrameWnd::OnMouseMove(nFlags, point);
}void CMainFrame::OnUpdateCursor(CCmdUI *pCmdUI){
CString pos;
pos.Format(ID_INDICATOR_CURSOR,posX,posY);
m_wndStatusBar.SetPaneText(m_wndStatusBar.CommandToIndex(ID_INDICATOR_CURSOR),pos);
}Well atleast now the sting is updated with 0's. Its defined as " x: %d ,y: %d ". So the OnUpdateCursor() is working but not with the right values...

What happens when you change your Format statement to
pos.Format(" x: %d ,y: %d " ,posX,posY);
Nothing. Stays the same:
"x: 0 , y: 0"

Nothing. Stays the same:
"x: 0 , y: 0"

Yes... Seems like OnMouseMove doesn't update posX and posY. If I do :
void CMainFrame::OnUpdateCursor(CCmdUI *pCmdUI){
CString pos;
posX=100;
posY=200;
pos.Format(L" x: %d ,y: %d ",posX,poxY);
m_wndStatusBar.SetPaneText(m_wndStatusBar.CommandToIndex(ID_INDICATOR_CURSOR),pos);
}It does put
"x: 100,y: 200"
in the status bar...

In
OnMouseMove(), what is the value ofpoint.xandpoint.y?"One man's wage rise is another man's price increase." - Harold Wilson

I can't rly get the debuger to stop there ... It's kinda like skipping it all? Any other way of checking ?

Try this!
void CDlgStatusBarDlg::OnMouseMove(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{
CString s;
s.Format("X=%d Y=%d",point.x,point.y);
m_bar.SetPaneText(0,s);
CDialog::OnMouseMove(nFlags, point);

So it doesn't TRACE() anything at all when called in
CMainFrame::OnMouseMove
so it's like it doesn't get the mouse moving at all in MainFrame class... it does trace correct values if I call it in the View class
CpositionView::OnMouseMove
however I can't find a way to send them from View to MainFrame, although I have included ***View.h and taka them like
CpositionView::positionX
I get a lot of errors :P
