How can i assign a value to the LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT struct parameters? I tried : void CMyButton::Activa(CWnd *pWnd, BOOL bEnable) { CRect rc; pDIS->itemAction = ODA_DRAWENTIRE; <-error pDIS->hwndItem = pWnd->GetSafeHwnd(); <-error pDIS->hDC = (HDC)pWnd->GetDC(); <-error pWnd->GetWindowRect(rc); pDIS->rcItem = rc; <-error CString sTexto; //desactiva a o botao e os seus tooltips pWnd->EnableWindow(bEnable); m_ToolTip.DelTool(pWnd, 0); //vai buscar ourtros dados do botao iCtrl=pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID(); pWnd->GetWindowText(sTexto); //passa o estado do botao para uma member variavel bDisabled=bEnable; DrawButton(iCtrl, pDIS, sTexto); } having BOOL bDisabled; int iCtrl; LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT pDIS; as member variables Thank you

I've never done ownerdrawn buttons, but isn't that what ODS_SELECTED or ODA_SELECT is for...? If not...I guess you could just check the state of the left mouse button inside DrawItem(), assuming when you press down on a button OnDrawItem() is fired off Cheers! :) "An expert is someone who has made all the mistakes in his or her field" - Niels Bohr

Thank you Dominik for your advise, Well, the '==' operator dosen't work, because hFont is not a pointer. Is there a way to test if hFont was created? Now its Working fine, thank you very much

Well you are correct - it shouldn't have to be that hard to display the form :-) And it does not have to be - as I said I think you would be better off by using the dialog editor in VC++. The brush handle vs pointer can easily be resolved though if you want to but since this code isn't working then there's not much point in it really... And to deselect the font you should use a similar technique as with the brush - i.e. save the old font and select it back when you are done with the one you are using.

Thanks again Papa! But i don't think i must use OnDraw, i just want to find a way of calling some code after OnActivateView is finished. Is that possivel?...I even thougth on using timers... Thanks

Sure it helped, i got it working :-D Thank you very much Lucy, i hope i can help you when you need it

It's working, thank you all!!!

Thank you Roger, but i could not find such function in MSDN (i'm using .NET). Do that function really resizes my form? Thanks

I was out to luch, i'll try those, thank you very much

Thanks, do you think i should cast them into another data tye, which should be the best option? Thank you

The control is derived from CEdit, so do it the same way you would in an edit control: m_FileEditCtrl.SetWindowText (_T("")); HTH CPUA 0x5041 Sonork 100.11743 Chicken Little "So it can now be written in stone as a testament to humanities achievments "PJ did Pi at CP"."

sorry, i miscopy the line iB=col.iSubItem;, its iB=lvi.iSubItem; unfortunally, that was not the problem :)

I found it, i had just to had BS_PUSHBUTTON and process the ON_BT_CLICKED message with the id i had chose to the function. Thank you the same

Hoorah, viva!!! I found it!! I was making m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(TRUE); instead of m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW); in my C..app file Thank you for your time

ClassWizard is very happy now, about the variable type, i'm using, for the same object both control and text variables and i hope this is not the cause of my problem. About DDP, is there a easy way to use it? Oor good articles about? Thanks

Chris was rigth, i must insert "\r\n", to make the line feed. Thank you all!

Yes, the way that Nish told you. Welcome to the world of real programming languages. There is most certainly an article on CP that shows you how to do this. Nish probably wrote it.
