OnDraw and CStatic VC 6.0 Only
Sat. July 24, 2004 11:20 PM PT I am deriving my own control from MFC's CStatic. I want to get OnDraw message, inderived control. I properly set the SS_OWNERDRAW to get WM_DRAWITEM message. But my code does not reach to the DrawItem Function. The same code/ class/ control works perfectly in Visual Studio .Net 2003 but not in VC 6.0. Anybody knows what is wrong? Ultimately I just grab WM_PAINT and put the same code in this message handler. Thanks. Lord2702, OnPaint (that is handling WM_PAINT) is the way to go for CStatics. The added benefit is that you don't need to set any flag f...

CStatic control image repaint problem
I have an image loaded in a CStatic control. Once I load the image and change my focus to some other application and then change my focus back to the application having the CStatic control, I notice the image is no more seen. Please let me know how to resolve this problem. Thank you. Rajesh Do you draw the image in the OnPaint handler, or use an SS_BITMAP style-static and do a SetBitmap (this causes the built-in OnPaint handler to paint the image). Any other solution will not work. joe On 26 May 2004 14:04:03 -0700, rajesh79@hotmail.com (Rajesh) wrote: >I have an image loaded in a C...

Window Size of CStatic Control
Using the dialog editor I created a static text object 100 wide and 10 deep. Then I attached it to a CStatic member of my CDialog class using DDX_Control(). Now, when I call GetClientRect() from my CStatic member, the windo rectangle is 150 wide and 15 deep. What controls the conversion?

How to position dynamic CStatic control
I have a sub-classed Edit Control. Within this sub-classed edit control, I would like to optionally display an asterisk in the upper right corner (outside the actual edit control). I am using a dynamically create CStatic, but it does not display. I think the issue is the CRect for the position. Here is my code for creating the CStatic: ************* snip snip ***************** CRect windowRect; CRect asterRect; // -- Get Screen Co-ordinates -- GetWindowRect(windowRect); // -- Create Asterisk Static control -- asterRect.top = windowRect.top; asterRect.bottom = windowRect.bottom...

Derived class from CStatic and dialogs
I have a class derived from CStatic and am trying to get it to display in a dialog-based app. The class works fine as I have tested it a window-based app and everything works fine. In the dialog-based app however, the call to Create() crashes the app. I have thus fallen back to trying to get a CStatic instance onto the dialog instead, with the same results. The code I'm using to create the object is the following: pStatic->Create("", WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD, rect, this, IDC_MYSTATIC); Where pStatic is declared as a class member in the header file and rect is an instance of C...

CWnd & CStatic Based Windows, How to detect mouse leaving the win

Tab causes CStatic-derived object to repaint!!
Hi, I derived a class named CGroupBox from CStatic. I am using it the following way: 1. I created a dialog (and its corresponding CDialog-derived class) using the resource editor 2. In the dialog, I created a group box. 3. I mapped the group box component to a CGroupBox member of the dialog's class using the Class Wizard. I did this so that I could override OnPaint() and give the group box a custom look. When the dialog comes up, the focus is set to an edit control. As soon as I hit the TAB key to switch to the next edit control, the group box's label gets repainted--only the label,...

OnCreate in CStatic

(new class is connected with static resourse) winnicki >i made a class from CStatic and i added OnCreate function to this new class >but this function never runs. why? (new class is connected with static >resourse) I guess you're using your class for a control in a dialog? In that situation, your class is attached to the control after the control has been created - therefore you never get to handle the WM_CREATE message. Dave I think is the other way around. Windo...

subclassing CStatic
Hi, I have subclassed a few CStatic ctrls so i can quickly change their font, BG and FG colors etc... I have also handled the CFormView's CtlColor message and painted the form white and text blue. The problem that im having is the subclassed objects are painting themselves the colors i specify, then the CFormView::OnCtlColor is painting them again. This isnt too much of a problem as i can simply exclude the subclassed items from the painting using: HBRUSH CSmartMXEditLangView::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor) { // create white brush: m_DlgBrush.DeleteObject(); ...

How to let a CStatic control accept WM_CHAR ?
Since the CStatic control fully covers my main window, it's the only one which can get focus. While I need to handle WM_CHAR in its parent/main window, I just found that the static cannot get the WM_CHAR message. Is there a way to do what I want? Thanks guys. Maybe you could show some code to explain more. I can't figure out why a static would want to get a WM_CHAR message. Are you trying to get this in other controls on top of this one?

Problems getting CStatic to refresh
Hi, I'm having problems trying to update the contents a CStatic control that exists in a SDI application. Whenever I try to update the control, the new text appears to sit on top of the existing text. It seems that the control does not get refreshed after the call to SetWindowText(). I have tried calling CStatic::Invalidate() and CStatic::RedrawWindow() directly but nothing seems to work. My only solution is to call CView::Invalidate() every couple of seconds, but this causes a very anoying flicker. Here is the call to CStatic::Create(). Maybe I'm missing something?

Problem dynamically creating CStatic Label: (FAIL afxwin1.inl line
With a standard label, I cannot find any simple way to change the color. Amazing! Options seem to be (1) make CMyLabel from scratch, or (2) subclass CStatic I've downloaded some code that does it: http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/controls/staticctrl/article.php/c2909/ I've created my own Test container MFC app, and lifted the core code out of the sample. My code (1) dynamically creates a CStatic, then (2)feeds it to the lifted code which will subclass it.

CStatic::SetIcon Transparent.
Hi, I am using the API CStatic::SetIcon to associate the icon with the static control. I have placed this control on CDialog, (Dialog background is gradient painted). I want this CStatic control to be transparent (so that the background of CStatic would be gradient, which is of Dialogs background color). However, icon image is transparent. How could I do this ?

How to add a VScroll to a CStatic Object
I create a CStatic object and write some text to the object but the text is too long to display in the work area but I don't konw how to add a vscroll to a CStatic object who can help me? I would say instead of a CStatic, use a CEdit control with the ReadOnly flag set. Because static controls by default aren't scrollable, so even if you add a scrollbar to it, you will have to manage the entire thing yourself (drawing, scrolling....), more trouble than it's worth.
