I have noticed someone wanting a global find and replace for Visual c++ developer studio 97. I needed that to so I made a couple of VBSCRIPT macros to do it. They are quite simple and possibly even somewhat crude but they do the job quite well. Maybe somebody has done this sort of thing […]

BOOL CToolTipDialog::OnInitDialog() { BOOL bResult = CDialog::OnInitDialog(); m_wndToolTip.Create(this); m_wndToolTip.Activate(c_bShowToolTips); CWnd *pWndChild = GetWindow(GW_CHILD); CString strToolTip; while (pWndChild) { int nID = pWndChild->GetDlgCtrlID(); if (strToolTip.LoadString(nID)) { m_wndToolTip.AddTool(pWndChild, strToolTip); } pWndChild = pWndChild->GetWindow(GW_HWNDNEXT); } return bResult; } The standard windows program has a main loop that calls GetMessage(), TranslateMessage() and DispatchMessage() continuously. The MFC main loop and […]

From the previous messages in this thread, you can see how it is possible to use the ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI macro with Dialog boxes by overriding the PreTranslateMessage(MSG *pMsg) and calling UpdateDialogControls(CCmdUI*, BOOL). However, what has not been discussed so far and one reason why the App Wizard does not offer the option of adding update handlers […]
