[Win32gui-code] file_dlg suggestion

[Dmitry P. <dm...@pa...>]

Hi,

To complete the file_dlg functionality I suggest to add the following procedure to this class:

void file_dlg::initial_file(const defs::string& str) {
      std::fill(files_.begin(), files_.end(), 0);
      std::copy(str.begin(), str.end(), files_.begin());
}

It will allow to specify the file name which will be displayed initially upon the file_dlg startup.
The call to std::fill procedure inside the file_dlg::show method should be removed then.

Regards,
Dmitry

[Win32gui-code] [bug 1.6.7-19] DialogBoxParam problem

[Dmitry P. <dm...@pa...>]

In the window/dialog.hpp there is a call to the DialogBoxParam with
incorrect HINSTANCE parameter (NULL).
I guess there should be the same code as before the CreateDialogParam
procedure:
 
if (create_params.instance() == NULL) {   
    resource res_info(id);
    create_params.instance(res_info.instance(RT_DIALOG));
}

Because of this missing code there are several drawing issues with some
dialog controls.

[Win32gui-code] toolbar control problem

[ray <haa...@gm...>]

I wrote the following code about toolbar, but it doesn't work:

   wnd<> top = create_wnd<sdi_frame>(null_wnd);
   create_wnd<toolbar>(IDR_TOOLBAR1, top);

when I run it, strange crash occurs. If I use rebar, as a band's child, 
it works. But I don't want to use rebar. Is it a bug? TIA.

[Win32gui-code] Tab dialog - automapping design time trouble

[Tom S. <tom...@si...>]

Hi,

I'm having some trouble with tab dialogs - more specifically, getting 
tabs added "automatically" via using the resource editor at design time, 
  as in the tab_dialog example in the lib.

The example works fine, but when I create my own project, and basically 
do the same thing, no tabs are created.

I have:

Main dialog (IDD_XPNDLG), with tab control (IDD_tabdialog1), and 2 
static text controls on the tab control, corresponding to the two 
subdialogs for display on the tabs (IDD_NETWORK_TAB, IDD_LOG_TAB).

Upon execution, I just get the dialogs displayed on the tab control at 
the positions of the static text controls - no tabs are created. I've 
also tried naming the dialogs exactly like the ones in the example - no 
luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Win32gui-code] rebars

[Steve J. <st...@ca...>]

Hiya,

I asked recently about rebars.  I think the best approach for me to take 
here is to consider one of the example projects that comes with 
win32gui, namely, the "menus and rebars" project 
(win32gui-lib/examples/menus/menus and rebars/menus and rebars.sln).  In 
it, a toolbar and then an edit control are added to a rebar.  What I'd 
like to change about the behaviour of the rebar in that project is for:

- the edit control to be of a fixed size, say, 100 pixels.
- the edit control to follow directly after the last of the toolbar 
buttons.  At the moment, the edit control is either on a separate line 
of the rebar to the toolbar, or if the app frame is sized to be large 
enough, the edit control jumps to the top rebar line but it is 
right-justified.

In summary, what I'd like is for the rebar to look similar to this 
mocked up picture:

Bye,
Steve
