Hi guys, Today i discoverd a new problem with Visual Studio. I used a resource ID for string resource as 16033 and when with the running application, keeping the mouse to the Close button of the same string got over as tooltip.:confused: After some random hits i found that it is the same value of the IDS_AFXBARRES_AUTOHIDEBAR and it have used the range from 16000 to 17109:mad:. Now i want to know what value should be kept and what is not safe or used by the VS. Even after googling got no lucks.:confused: can some one help me over it??

Hi Guys,
Need help in the current task..
I was  trying to put a CMFCToolBar inside the CFormView and i thought will have no problems and used the code bellow. Now this form view is to be kept a Dockable pane. But while doing this i got few problems. To put the toolbar in the FormView, i did this..
The TOOLBAR in the RC File is like this..

IDR_TOOLBAR1 TOOLBAR 16, 16
BEGIN
BUTTON IDC_BTN_1
BUTTON IDC_BTN_2
BUTTON IDC_BTN_3
END

The InitialUpdate of the FormView Derived class is like this: -

void CMyFormView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
CFormView::OnInitialUpdate();
CWnd *pWnd = NULL;
CRect rcPos;
if(!m_wndToolView.Create(this, AFX_DEFAULT_TOOLBAR_STYLE, IDR_TOOLBAR1))
{
TRACE0("Failed to Create Dialog Toolbar\n");
}
m_wndToolView.LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOLBAR1, 0, 0, TRUE /* Is locked */);
m_wndToolView.CleanUpLockedImages();
m_wndToolView.LoadBitmap(IDR_TOOLBAR1, 0, 0, TRUE /* Locked */);
m_wndToolView.SetPaneStyle(m_wndToolView.GetPaneStyle() | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY | WS_CHILD | WS_TABSTOP);
m_wndToolView.SetPaneStyle(m_wndToolView.GetPaneStyle() & ~(CBRS_GRIPPER | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC | CBRS_BORDER_TOP | CBRS_BORDER_BOTTOM | CBRS_BORDER_LEFT | CBRS_BORDER_RIGHT));
m_wndToolView.SetOwner(this);
CSize szToolBar = m_wndToolView.CalcFixedLayout( FALSE, TRUE ); // returning CSize(69,24).. which should have been CSize(48, 16)
}

Now a few problems i am getting are: -
1. The Toolbar images are not coming proper
2. The Update of the Toolbar items is not coming.

Try this instead, its simpler and will do the same you are looking for void uchar2uinta(UCHAR * in, UINT * out, size_t outlen) { while(outlen--) { *out++ = *(UINT*)in; in += 4; } }

Hi guys, As i am working on MDI application on VS2008, it had few modeless dialogs and tabbed views. During work, i found that if a modelless dialog is there and i invoked some context menu from the view, and now i clicked on the button of the modeless dialog, the dialog gets activated but the menu is not gone. I guess i am clear what is the problem. as this is a normal problem and can be reproduced easily, no reelevent code snippet can be given. Expecting some quick help..

Hi guys, Looking for some help... In my application using VS2008 (MFC 9.0) + SP1, i encountered an error and i felt that it is of the MFC/Framework. I am giving a very simple scenerio, and i hope amy body may reproduce it easyly. Follow these steps: - 1. Create a new MFC Application Project. 2. The type i choose is MultiDoc Application with Doc/View Support and Office Project Style and Ribbon Menu Here my View is derived from CScrollView. Now i Run the Application and changed the theme, say to Silver and now i hibernated the PC. After Starting the PC i got that the application is in the default theme (BLUE). However as i checked the selected style in the menu, its still the Silver. I an expecting any boddy will help me soon.

Regards Harsh

Hi, First of all thanx replying Richard, Well if i'll pring or draw something and then if something will come over it, it will be gone. Even Suppose I'll make the impression of "INTRODUCTION" on the DC and in some next step i'll draw a text like "abc<10-20spaces>xyz", what ever will be written bellow the white spaces will again be gone.. I hope you got the problem

Hi guys, Looking for some help.. In my current assignment, its needed to hide all the Dockeble panes and to get them back as they where before hiding. during hidden period, they should not be visible/available to the user. it is some how like closing the project and opening a new project in the Visual studio IDE. However it is working fine with al the panes until they are not in the AutoHide mode. to resolve the issue, i first set Checked the Auto Hide state, if its true, then i set it to false. Now as on getting back i want to turn the pane back in the Autohide state, i set it by calling the function: SetAutoHideMode(TRUE, CBRS_ALIGN_ANY); but then the application crashes :( Here is the snap of the code to clear the problem: - To Save the state, i did this:- pPane is the pointer of the CDockablePane

m_nState = 0;
if(pPane->m_hWnd)
{
if(pPane->IsDocked() && pPane->IsAutoHideMode())
{
pPane->ToggleAutoHide();
m_nState = 1;
}
else if(pPane->IsVisible())
{
m_nState = 2;
}
pPane->ShowPane(FALSE, FALSE, FALSE);
}

To Set the previous state i did this:- Here since i have passed the pointer with CPane

if(m_nState == 0)
{
return;
}
pPane->ShowPane(TRUE, FALSE, TRUE);
if((m_nState == 1) && pPane->IsDocked() && !pPane->IsAutoHideMode())
{
pPane->SetAutoHideMode(TRUE, CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
}

And then It calles crash at BOOL CDockablePane::CheckStopSlideCondition(BOOL bDirection).

Hi sashoalam, So do you think i should minimize all the Ribbons by some explicite call. But don't you think, making calls for hiding all the views, menues, tabs, Panes etc and maintaining its previous states is not really a good idea if you may have about 10 Ribbon-tabs, about 10-20 Panes and uncountable Views are possible. Event on remembering the 6.0 days, you'll notice that we didn't have to do all those things by us and it was MFC's responsbility to do so. i think must have understood my problem.

Hi Sashoalm,

What about minimizing the ribbon? Try minimizing the ribbon before print preview and see if you like it.

It is not practically possible and good to hide all the ribbons, views and panes on Preview and restore them OnEndPreview since the are many in count.. Like in VC 6.0, i didn't needed to do any thing like that and the compiler was doing this for me, i want something like that. Thanks

Hi, Thanks for quick reply.

try to place the code I posted in CMainFrame::OnFilePrintPreview

There is an issue in doing as you are saying but there is no such function "DoPrintPreview" in class CMDIFrameWndEx from which the CmainFrame Class is derived.. However, i already have tried:

CView *pView = GetActiveFrame()->GetActiveView();
if(pView == NULL)
{
return;
}
CPrintPreviewState* pState = new CPrintPreviewState;

if (!pView->DoPrintPreview(AFX_IDD_PREVIEW_TOOLBAR, pView,
RUNTIME_CLASS(CPreviewView), pState))
{
delete pState; // Preview failed to initialize, delete State now.
pState = NULL;
}

But it prepares the preview in the same document only and not capturing the frame. And this not what i wanted :( Please suggess something else.

Hi sashoalm, First thanks for replying... I already know the way how to prepare print preview. But i guess i was not clear enough with my requirement. My requirement is to show the preview capturing the entire main frame including all Menues, Panes, Views etc in VS 2008, how VS 6.0 does. In VS2008, the preview comes like a view only and menues etc are remain enabled.. Please suggess something else may be that will help... Thanks

Hi All, I am working on VC2008's MDI application with Ribbon bar and have to provide print preview. Now, However VC2008 do have print preview, but the client requires it to look it like the VC6.0's Print preview capturing the entire main frame along with some certain buttons, all like VC6.0. Can some body please help me on it

Wouldn't it be easier to read and write the data in the file by my given way??

I Don't know why u are trying there tipical methods. Just Try the "C" way: -

struct MyStruct
{
	char Name\[20\];
	int age;
}
// Fill the Structure with the appropriate values
MyStruct myStruct;
FILE \*pFile = fopen("Record.txt", "Wb+");
fwrite((char\*)&myStruct, sizeof(MyStruct), 1, pFile);

and to reead :-

fread((char*)&myStruct, sizeof(MyStruct), 1, pFile);

Dear Razanust, I'll first suggess you not to create a new thread if you aren't satisfied with the answer.

Now, as your file is a text file, :confused: First Clear whether you have stored it by formating by sprintf and then WriteFile etc or Writing the structure directly?
