I want to create and application created with VC++ 6.0 that is a CPropertySheet. Just like what you see in a control panel like "Network" or "Console"

The problem I am having is how to do it. CPropertySheet seems to always want to be a sub-dialog.

Does anyone know where I might find an example of doing this?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Chris

WIZARD97 is the sample you need. It's intended to WinNT 5.0 or Win98, but with WinNT 4.0 SP3
and VC++ 6.0 Pro it works fine.

Use the MFC App Wizard to create a dialog-based app. Get rid of the
CDialog-based class that is auto-generated by the wizard and create a new
CPropertySheet-based class using Class Wizard. Also create as many
CPropertyPage-based classes (and associated dialog resources) as needed for
your tab pages. In the InitInstance member function for your app class,
replace the CDialog-based local object declaration and DoModal call with an
object declaration of your CPropertySheet-based class and a call to its
DoModal function.

Using class wizard make a project that has a dialog for a main window. In resource
editor, make your property sheet and pages as you normally would. Then in the
xxxApp.cpp file find the InitInstance function. There will be a section of code similar
to :

CAppsDlg dlg;
m_pMainWnd = &dlg;

Just change the CAppsDlg to your property sheet. (Don't forget to include the header file)
That should be all you need to do.

Hi Dave,

Did you really mean to create a property sheet resource?

If so, what is the resource type? When I choose "Insert..." there are IDD_PROPPAGE* selections, but nothing listed as a property sheet.

I can choose "Custom...", but then I need to specify the resource type.

I've looked at the resources I have online as well as msdn without luck. It is possible that I have not looked in the right place, or, this question is too simple to actually be written down.

I have a dialog application. To the dialog, I have added a CTabCtrl class variable named m_tab.

Then, in OnInitDialog() I added the following:

BOOL CULServerDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
...
// TODO: Add extra initialization here
TC_ITEM TabCtrlItem;
TabCtrlItem.mask = TCIF_TEXT;
TabCtrlItem.pszText = "TAB 1";
m_tab.InsertItem( 0, &TabCtrlItem );
TabCtrlItem.pszText = "TAB 2";
m_tab.InsertItem( 1, &TabCtrlItem );
...

Quote:}

My difficulty is that I am not finding out how to show controls on the two tabs when they are in front.

I already looked at the FIRE demo, and it's just showing an image. And the image is kept in all of the tabs so I do not see really how to display/change different controls for different tabs.

Also, can someone tell be a definition for "owner-drawn" and non-owner-drawn? And, which applies to CTabCtrl?

Thanks for any advice,

Chris

Here is a snippet from my code:

void CRepBrowseCtrl::DoSelectTab(int nTab)
{
m_pPage[m_nCurTab]->ShowWindow(FALSE);
m_nCurTab = nTab;
m_pPage[m_nCurTab]->ShowWindow(TRUE);

// Adjust current page size
RECT rc;
GetWindowRect(&rc);
ResizeCurrentPage(rc.right - rc.left, rc.bottom - rc.top);

Quote:}

where m_pPage is an array of dialogs. This is a snippet from an ATL-based
project, though I believe it contains enough info to do it in MFC.

Good luck!

Oleg

Thanks for the response Oleg!

I still have a question about your response though:

What kind of dialogs are these (Overlapped, Popup, Child)?

Did you have to position the upper left hand corner of these dialogs, or were they tied to something in the main dialog?

Thanks,

Chris

They are child, without border. Positioning of a child dialog inside tab
control is done in the ResizeCurrentPage(). It is also called from the
OnCreate/OnInitDialog of the parent for the page that is selected by
default.

Hi again Oleg,

I have the child dialogs set up and displaying. My last problem has to do with sizing and positioning these child dialogs such that they fall within the tab control (I cannot find ResizeCurrentPage() in any of the documentation I have). When I show the child dialogs, the appears in the upper left hand corner of the dialog.

I think I only have two questions left to get this finished:

1) I get the rectangle of the tab control so that I know where to place the child dialogs, but this rectangle includes the tabs. Is there a constant or something that indicates how tall the tabs are so that I can take that into account?

Or, are you placing a dialog item over the tab control defining the area of the tab control in which you wanted the child dialogs to appear?

2) Since I do not have a ResizeCurrentPage(), I was trying to do it with SetWindowPos() which, I discovered, sets that main dialog position (I was using the syntax "myChildDlg.FromHandle(myChildDlg.m_hWnd)" in SetWindowPos()).

I cannot find a method to adjust the size/position of the child dialogs, can you please point me in the right direction?

Thank you so much,

Chris

ResizeCurrentPage is a wrapper around SetWindowPos:

void CRepBrowseCtrl::ResizeCurrentPage(int cx, int cy)
{
int cxPage = cx - 8;
int cyPage = cy - 32;
::SetWindowPos(m_pPage[m_nCurTab]->m_hWnd,
NULL,
4,
4,
cxPage,
cyPage,
SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOACTIVATE);

Quote:}

It works OK for me, though to be absolutely precise, instead of using 8 and
32 you have to calculate those deltas using Windows metrics.

If you have success playing around with Windows metrics, please let me know.
I'm too busy this week, though I might need it by the end of the month.

Take care!

Hi Oleg,

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "metrics", but the following code seems to work fine. And if you change the size of the tab control, this code adapts to the change the next time you run it.

I made this method part of the main dialog and call it from OnInitDialog():

void CMyDlg::InitTabControl()
{
TC_ITEM TabCtrlItem;
WINDOWPLACEMENT lpwndpl;
RECT r;
DWORD tHeight;

// Create the tab control
TabCtrlItem.mask = TCIF_TEXT;
TabCtrlItem.pszText = "Tab 1";
m_tab.InsertItem( 0, & TabCtrlItem );
TabCtrlItem.pszText = "Tab 2";
m_tab.InsertItem( 1, & TabCtrlItem );

// Create the two child dialogs that will appears to be
// the contents of the two "tabs"
m_tab_1.Create(IDD_DIALOG_TAB_1, NULL);
m_tab_2.Create(IDD_DIALOG_TAB_2, NULL);

// Adjust position of child dialogs so that they fit
// within the tab area

// Get the height of the "tab" in the tab control
m_tab.GetItemRect(0, & r );
tHeight= r.bottom - r.top;

// Get the full display rectangle of the tab control
// which includes the tab height
::GetWindowPlacement(m_tab.m_hWnd, & lpwndpl);
r= lpwndpl.rcNormalPosition;

// Adjust the vertical origin by the height of the "tab"
r.top += tHeight;

// Adjust the rectangle so that they fit just inside the
// actual tab control
r.left += 4;
r.top += 4;
r.right -= 4;
r.bottom -= 4;

// Convert right and bottom to width and height
r.right -= r.left;
r.bottom -= r.top;

// Set the new size and position of our child dialogs
::SetWindowPos(m_tab_1.m_hWnd, NULL
, r.left, r.top, r.right, r.bottom, SWP_NOZORDER);
::SetWindowPos(m_tab_2.m_hWnd, NULL
, r.left, r.top, r.right, r.bottom, SWP_NOZORDER);

return;

}

Thanks again,

Chris
