TlbDlg_OK is a sample how to work with common toolbar from several dialog-based
applications.
Project TlbDlg_OK (see Downloads demo and source files) creates 2 applications
- tb.exe (toolbar)
- TbDlg_OK.exe (dialog application)
>
What to run at first – TbDlg_OK.exe or TB.exe is not important.
Click several times exclamation mark in TB.exe to run several instances
of TbDlg_OK.exe.
Move focus to any of them – common toolbar (TB.exe) moves automatically
in its area.
Common toolbar will be closed when a last instance will be closed.
TbDlg_OK.exe sends to TB.exe the following messages (see resource.h)
to add and delete connections between two applications and to move tb.exe placement:
ID_CONTROL_ADD_HWND
ID_CONTROL_DELETE_HWND
ID_CONTROL_SET_FOCUS
TB.exe sends to TbDlg_OK.exe the following messages (see resource.h)
in accordance with icons, that are set in tb.exe:
ID_CONTROL_NEW_INSTANCE
ID_CONTROL_NEW
ID_CONTROL_OPEN
ID_CONTROL_SAVE
ID_CONTROL_HELP
Their implementation is carried out in TbDlg_OK\TbDlg_OKDlg.cpp as usually:
ON_COMMAND(ID_CONTROL_NEW,OnNew)
ON_COMMAND(ID_CONTROL_OPEN,OnOpen)
ON_COMMAND(ID_CONTROL_SAVE,OnSave)
ON_COMMAND(ID_CONTROL_HELP,OnHelp)
TB.exe is a simple application that contains toolbar only.
Its size is equal toolbar size (see tb\mainfrm.cpp variables CONTROL_BAR_WIDTH
and CONTROL_BAR_HEIGHT).
