yeah,Thanks

Would you be kind enough to say how you made it to work. Regards, FarPointer

HiBlake, I fixed the problem.. I had to Modify the style after setting the parent m_gridControl.SetParent(GetDesktopWindow()); m_gridControl.ModifyStyle(WS_CHILD,WS_POPUP); Thanks

Hi, I did as follows in that order & I get the child control to exceed the parent window. childControl.SetParent(GetDesktopWindow()); childControl.ShowWindow(true); childControl.BringWindowToTop(); childControl.SetFocus(); childControl.MoveWindow(500,300,400,200); But now the problem is ,I don't get the childControl as an activeWindow(Can't select,edit anything etc). Thanks..

Thanks all...

Look for the CxImage article here on CodeProject. It does decent scaling. -- An eye for an eye will only make the world blind.

Just becareful with memory leak and you are rolling. As far as I know, list, map also make copy of inserted element.

Will try that.Thanks...

Thanbks a lot....

Thanks

Hi Blake, Appreciate your reply.But should admit that althought I understood what u have written,have no idea how to achieve that. Just to make my side clear, I don't want to fill the rectangle with a partiular colour,would just want to draw the 4 lines with bumped effect. In the following sample code,Iam trying to draw a rectangle with redcolour. Would appreciate it if you could show it this code segment how I could achieve the bumped effect as well. void CEx03aView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC) { CPen newPen(PS_SOLID,2,RGB(255,0,0)); CPen *pOldPen = pDC->SelectObject(&newPen); //Top Line pDC->MoveTo(10,100); pDC->LineTo(150,100); //Right Line pDC->MoveTo(150,100); pDC->LineTo(150,250); //Bottom Line pDC->MoveTo(150,250); pDC->LineTo(10,250); //Left Line pDC->MoveTo(10,250); pDC->LineTo(10,100); } Thanks..

FROM MSDN: In writing your tool tip notification handler, you need to use the TOOLTIPTEXT structure. The members of the TOOLTIPTEXT structure are: typedef struct { NMHDR hdr; // required for all WM_NOTIFY messages LPTSTR lpszText; // see below WCHAR szText[80]; // buffer for tool tip text HINSTANCE hinst; // see below UINT uflags; // flag indicating how to interpret the // idFrom member of the NMHDR structure // that is included in the structure } TOOLTIPTEXT, FAR *LPTOOLTIPTEXT; hdr Identifies the tool that needs text. The only member of this structure you might need is the control's command ID. The control's command ID will be in the idFrom member of the NMHDR structure, accessed with the syntax hdr.idFrom. See NMHDR for a discussion of members of the NMHDR structure. lpszText Address of a string to receive the text for a tool. szText Buffer that receives the tool tip text. An application can copy the text to this buffer as an alternative to specifying a string address. hinst Handle of the instance that contains a string resource to be used as the tool tip text. If lpszText is the address of the tool tip text, this member is NULL. When you handle the TTN_NEEDTEXT notification message, specify the string to be displayed in one of the following ways: Copy the text to the buffer specified by the szText member. Copy the address of the buffer that contains the text to the lpszText member. Copy the identifier of a string resource to the lpszText member, and copy the handle of the instance that contains the resource to the hinst member I think you can try using szText. Remember it can only hold 80 characters, which is not much. good luck.

Thanks,Will try in that direction...

I suggest that you rework your code so that you can fill the background before writing the text out! Ant. I'm hard, yet soft. I'm coloured, yet clear. I'm fruity and sweet. I'm jelly, what am I? Muse on it further, I shall return! - David Walliams (Little Britain)

I think this will work. You need to add a public member function BOOL HandleChildEnum(HWND) to your view class. If this does not work, then you can not enumerate from within the OnInitDialog, and a message will have to be posted to yourself to cause the enumeration. // global function maps from global space to class space BOOL CALLBACK MyEnumChildProc( HWND hwndChild, LPARAM lParam ){ // lParam was apointer to 'this' a C_PropView C_PropView* pMyView = (C_PropView*)lParam; // now call function within context of the class data return pMyView->HandleChildEnum(hwndChild); } // now you have access to all your member variables and are within t he // context of your class BOOL C_PropView::HandleChildEnum( HWND hWindowChild ){ return TRUE; } // call the child window enumerator // make sure BOOL C_PropView::OnInitDialog() { // make sure to call base class // first, so all the MFC crap is initialized CDialog::OnInitDialog(); // enumerate child windows // passing in our window, the local function, and a point to 'this' ::EnumChildWindows(m_hWnd, MyEnumChildProc, (LPARAM)this); }
