Class CXJWDigitClock is a static control derived from CStatic. It displays as a digital clock,as shown below:

There are three properties in CXJWDigitClock

face color <-----> SetColor();
second style <-----> SetStyle();
alarm mode <----> SetAlarm();

Usage: Check the sample project for the detail.

Note: You should insert all 12 bitmaps in your project, and take care the value and order of bitmap's ID. In my sample project, I used IDB_BITMAP1 to IDB_BITMAP12 side by side. See following:

Digit ID VALUE
0 IDB_BITMAP1 100
1 IDB_BITMAP2 101
2 IDB_BITMAP3 102
3 IDB_BITMAP4 103
4 IDB_BITMAP5 104
5 IDB_BITMAP6 105
6 IDB_BITMAP7 106
7 IDB_BITMAP8 107
8 IDB_BITMAP9 108
9 IDB_BITMAP10 109
10 IDB_BITMAP11 110
11 IDB_BITMAP12 111

  • TOOLTIPS Z ORDER

    Posted by Legacy on 04/26/1999 12:00am

button on the bottom of the app the tooltips are obscured by the new dialog.  I thought I had solved this
long ago with the upgrade to IE5 but I guess there was more to it.  My basic question is At start up I want a
dialog app to be at top sub-dialog boxes that I create at run-time to be below the top (in the z-order) and
the tooltips to be the top most.  Below are pieces of my code that come from lots of examples I have received
here at codeguru any help with z-order and tooltips would be appreciated


    CCSUHelp m_Descriptions; //my sub-dialog class a dialog box with an edit box that i write text to


    OnInitDialog()

    {

    .

    . //set main dialog box 

    SetWindowPos(&wndTopMost, xPos, 30, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE);

    .

    .

    .

    m_Descriptions.Create(IDD_DESCRIPTIONS,0);

    m_Descriptions.SetText(pztext);

    .

    		m_tooltip.Create(this);

    		m_tooltip.Activate(tooltips);

    		m_tooltip.SendMessage(TTM_SETMAXTIPWIDTH, 0, 300);

    		m_tooltip.SendMessage(TTM_SETDELAYTIME, TTDT_AUTOPOP, 10000); 


    

    		// TODO: Use one of the following forms to add controls:

    		// m_tooltip.AddTool(GetDlgItem(IDC_<name>), <string-table-id>);

    		// m_tooltip.AddTool(GetDlgItem(IDC_<name>), "<text>");

    		// m_tooltip.UpdateTipText("update works",GetDlgItem(IDC_BUTTON1) );


    		 m_tooltip.AddTool(GetDlgItem(IDC_BUTTON1),pzbutton1[0]);

    .

    .

    .

    PostMessage(WM_AFTERINIT);

    }


    LRESULT CCSUDlg::OnAfterInit(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)

    	{


    		CRect rect;

    		GetWindowRect(&rect);

    		//SetWindowPos(&wndTopMost,rect.left,rect.top,0,0,SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_SHOWWINDOW);


    		m_Descriptions.SetWindowPos(&wndBottom ,rect.left,rect.bottom,0,0,SWP_NOSIZE |
SWP_NOACTIVATE );

    		m_Descriptions.ShowWindow(SW_SHOWNA);


    		return 0;

    	}
