How to integrate CProgressST in your application
- In your project include the following files:
ProgressST.h
ProgressST.cpp
- You also need a bitmap that will be displayed inside the progress bar.
For example include in your project Cornicetta.bmp and call it IDB_CORNICETTA.
With dialog editor create a progress bar called, for example, IDC_CORNICETTA
and create a member variable for it:
CProgressST m_prgCornicetta;
Now attach the progress bar to CProgressST. In your OnInitDialog procedure:
// Call the base method
CDialog::OnInitDialog();// Create the IDC_CORNICETTA progress bar with bitmap
m_prgCornicetta.SubclassDlgItem(IDC_CORNICETTA, this);
The control will have the same default range and start position as in the base
MFC class CProgressCtrl. These values can be modified using the same members of the
base class as, for example, SetRange(…) or SetPos(…)
At this moment OffsetPos(…) is not supported.By default the control will draw itself just like a normal progress bar.
A bitmap can be assigned to get a progress bar showing it instead of normal
standard blocks!This bitmap will be tiled to paint the necessary portion of the progress bar; it will not
shrinked or enlarged in any manner. - Assign a bitmap to the progress bar:
// Assign bitmap
m_prgCornicetta.SetBitmap(IDB_CORNICETTA);
Your progress bar is now a CProgressST!
Look inside the demo program to learn more about CProgressST. This is the best way!
CProgressST members
BOOL SetBitmap(UINT nBitmapId = NULL, BOOL bRepaint = TRUE);
Assign a bitmap to the progress bar
Input values:
- nBitmapId
The resource bitmap to use
- bRepaint
If TRUE the control is immediately redrawn
Return value:
Nonzero if successful; otherwise 0.
Example:
m_prgCornicetta.SetBitmap(IDB_CORNICETTA);
m_prgCornicetta.SetBitmap(); // To remove bitmap and draw as a standard progress bar
static const int GetVersionI()
static const char* GetVersionC()
Return CProgressST version
Example:
int nVer = CProgressST::GetVersionI(); // Divide by 10 to get actual version
char szVer[20];
strcpy(szVer, CProgressST::GetVersionC());
