Hiding the Apply button

Posted by Zafir Anjum on October 1st, 2002
When the property sheet shows up, by default it has the Apply button visible and disabled. Often, we don't need the Apply button at all. Removing the button is a one liner and here's how. After you create the property sheet object just add the PSH_NOAPPLYNOW flag. 

	propsheet.m_psh.dwFlags |= PSH_NOAPPLYNOW;

  • How to Set Tool Tip for the Buttons - OK, Cancel, Help in the Property sheet?

    Hi,

      I need to set tool tip for the OK, CANCEL, HELP buttons in a property sheet. I don't have the ids of them. I tried with the IDs :


      OK         : IDOK

      CANCEL     : IDCANCEL

      HELP       : ID_HELP

    But i did not get the tool tip.


    [For getting tool tip, I used the following code:

     OnInitDialog()

     {  .........

        .........

      ToolTipCtrl.Create(this,TTS_ALWAYSTIP);

      ToolTipCtrl.AddTool(GetDlgItem(IDOK),"OkTooltip);

      ToolTipCtrl.AddTool(GetDlgItem(IDCANCEL),"CancelTooltip");

      ToolTipCtrl.AddTool(GetDlgItem(ID_HELP),"HelpTooltip");

        .........

        .........

     }

    .........

    .........

     BOOL <<<Someclassname>>>::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) 

     {

       ToolTipCtrl.RelayEvent(pMsg);		

       return CPropertyPage::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);

     }

    ]


    I generally use the above procedure for setting the tooltips for a known ids. 

    Thanks In advance..

  • delete Apply button in a modal property sheet dialog

    m_psh.dwFlags |= PSH_NOAPPLYNOW;

    in all constructor functions. then you can create a local property sheet object and call DoModal.

       pButton->GetWindowRect(&rect);

           pButton->GetWindowRect(&CancelRect);

           ScreenToClient(&CancelRect);

           pButton->SetWindowPos(NULL, rect.left, rect.top, 0, 

                0, SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOZORDER);

           pButton = GetDlgItem(IDOK);

           if(pButton->GetSafeHwnd())

               pButton->SetWindowPos(NULL, CancelRect.left, 

                  CancelRect.top, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE | 

                  SWP_NOZORDER);

  • This how to remove some buttons easily...

    	CButton* button;


    	// Remove the "Apply" button...


    	button = (CButton*) GetDlgItem(ID_APPLY_NOW);

    	button->DestroyWindow();


    	// Remove the "OK" button...


    	button = (CButton*) GetDlgItem(IDOK);

    	button->DestroyWindow();


    	// Remove the "Cancel" button...


    	button = (CButton*) GetDlgItem(IDCANCEL);

    	button->DestroyWindow();


    	// Set the dialog icons...


    	SetIcon(m_hIcon, TRUE);


    	return TRUE;

    }


    I removed three of the four buttons this way... I think

    that HELP is nice where it is at if you are making an app

    that has the app on one page and the controls on the next 

    page.


    Using this method to DestroyWindow() HELP button causes

    errors.
