     Hello

   I am creating a modal dialog. eg:
   CLoginDlg dlg;

   if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK)

   ...

   In the OnInitDialog in CLoginDlg I am doing this:

   SetWindowPos(HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE + SWP_NOSIZE);

   Which does return TRUE. But it is not topmost.

   Can I somehow make this dialog window topmost? If so, how?

That's rather user-hostile.  Your application window is disabled while the
dialog is running, so the user can't proceed while your modal dialog is visible.

What exactly do you need to do here?

hello, genius
        I want put UI elements in a XML file, which stores every
atrribute of each widget.
so, when application starts, the XML file is loaded, parsed, and all the GUI
elements are
created.  something like HTML file.
        HTML file can hold jscript,vbscript,etc.  I want my XML file
holds Lua script. when a
UI event hapens, the Lua script is called. Events such as mouse click, mouse

so, how can i design such a XML/Lua engine to render UI and handle events ??
any suggestion appreciated.

I'm converting an MFC application into WTL 8.1 and stuck with issues. The
in-place control (see below) is working only once. If it looses focus and gets
the focus back, cursor/caret is no longer visible; however, content can be
changed by typing. Here is declaration of the in-place Edit control:
class CMyInPlaceEdit:  public CWindowImpl<CMyInPlaceEdit, CEdit>
{
public:
   CMyInPlaceEdit() : CWindowImpl<CMyInPlaceEdit, CEdit>() {}

   BOOL SubclassWindow(HWND hWnd)
   {
     return CWindowImpl<CMyInPlaceEdit, CEdit>::SubclassWindow(hWnd);
   }
BEGIN_MSG_MAP_EX(CMyInPlaceEdit)
   MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_KILLFOCUS, OnKillFocus)
   MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_SETFOCUS, OnSetFocus)
   MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_LBUTTONDOWN, OnLButtonDown)
   <<<cut>>>
};

I create the in-place Edit:
m_edit = new CMyInPlaceEdit();
m_edit->Create(m_parent->m_hWnd, urect, NULL, WS_CHILD | ES_AUTOHSCROLL, 0,
MenuOrID, 0);

LRESULT CMyInPlaceEdit::OnLButtonDown(UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam,
BOOL& bHandled)
{
	 ///CEdit::OnLButtonDown(nFlags, point);
	 ::DefWindowProc(m_hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);

	 bHandled = FALSE;
	 return 0;
}

LRESULT CMyInPlaceEdit::OnSetFocus(UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam,
BOOL& bHandled)
{
	 ///CEdit::OnSetFocus(pNewWnd);
	 LRESULT lRet = ::DefWindowProc(m_hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);

	 bHandled = FALSE;
	 return lRet;
}

LRESULT CMyInPlaceEdit::OnKillFocus(UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam,
BOOL& /*bHandled*/)
{
	 ///CEdit::OnKillFocus(pNewWnd);
	 LRESULT lRet = ::DefWindowProc(m_hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);

	 return lRet;
}

To hide/show the in-place Edit I use:
m_edit->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
and
m_edit->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
::SetFocus(m_edit->m_hWnd);

Please help...

Don't call the Win32 API function DefWindowProc directly. If you set
bHandled to FALSE, the message will automatically be passed on to the
original window procedure. Otherwise, you can leave bHandled as TRUE and
explcitly call the original window procedure using the
CWindowImpl::DefWindowProc member function (actually a member of
CWindowImplBaseT). By the way, there is a rather handy parameterless
overload of DefWindowProc that calls the original window procedure with the
current message parameters.

Hello All

This is a weird scenario which I cannot understand and I'm looking for a way to
debug this and figure it out.

The app is an IE plugin, which is consisted of a BHO and a toolbar. I have a
class that inherits from CStatic and extends its functionality as so:

class CMyStatic : public CWindowImpl< CMyStatic , CStatic >
{
    ...
    CToolTipCtrl m_tip;
};

I create the tooltip as so:

         if ( !m_tip.IsWindow() )
         {
             // create a tool tip
             DWORD dwStyle = WS_POPUP | TTS_NOANIMATE | TTS_NOFADE |
TTS_NOPREFIX;
             m_tip.Create( m_hWnd, NULL, NULL, dwStyle );
             if ( m_tip.IsWindow() )
             {
                 m_tip.Activate( TRUE );
                 m_tip.AddTool( m_hWnd, lpszString );
             }
         }

and in response to the mouse events i relay the event:

//MESSAGE_RANGE_HANDLER( WM_MOUSEFIRST, WM_MOUSELAST, OnMouseMessage )

LRESULT CMyStatic::OnMouseMessage( UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam,BOOL&
bHandled )
{
     MSG msg =
     {
       m_hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam
     };
     if ( m_tip.IsWindow() )
     {
         m_tip.RelayEvent( &msg );
     }

     bHandled = FALSE;
     return 1;
}

The weirdness comes from the simple fact that i'm using this exact same class
(CMyStatic that is) with a different app (an IE infoband) and the tooltip works
as expected, on different CStatic controls that I subclass the same exact way as
in the other app).

I have no idea why this isn't working - m_tip is a valid window, RelayEvent(..)
does get called .. but no tootip is shown.

Any help on how to figure this out would be appreciated.

Yes, that was it! After I added CWindowImpl::DefWindowProc the cursor is
working! Thank you very much! Jim, may I buy you beer?

Maybe this question has been answered somewhere on forums, but I could not find.
Basically, I want to filter chars in the in-place edit box to allow entering
only digits (for integer). I thought that PreTranslateMessage can help, but the
method is never called. My in-place control is derived as:

class CMyInPlaceEdit
	 : public CWindowImpl<CMyInPlaceEdit, CEdit>
	 , public CMessageFilter
	 , public CUpdateUI<CMyInPlaceEdit>
{
public:
     DECLARE_WND_SUPERCLASS(_T("inplaceEdit"), CEdit::GetWndClassName())

     virtual BOOL PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg);
...

Please help...

Did you actually register your message filter? Something like

CMessageLoop* pLoop = _Module.GetMessageLoop();
  pLoop->AddMessageFilter(this);

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a
good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be
dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

Nope - I do not really know where to register the message loop. My inplace edit
box is shown in an ATL Property Page which can be invoked from any app, e.g.
.NET. I can try to implement MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_INITDIALOG, OnInitDialog) in the
property page and register the handler there, would that work?

Thank you!

ES_NUMBER style does not work?

I don't know what an "ATL Property Page" is. CMessageFilter is only useful in a
WTL application, where the message pump is implemented with the help of
CMessageLoop.

As already mentioned, there is the ES_NUMBER style, though it doesn't
support signed numbers or hexadecimal.

> I thought that PreTranslateMessage can help, but the method is never
> called.

You don't need a message filter - just handle the WM_CHAR message. Here is
how I restrict input to hexadecimal digits:

class CHexEdit :
     public CWindowImpl<CHexEdit, CEdit>
{
     BEGIN_MSG_MAP_EX(CMainDlg)
         MSG_WM_CHAR(OnChar)
     END_MSG_MAP()

     void OnChar(TCHAR ch, UINT, UINT)
     {
         // Allow hex digits and backspace.
         if ((VK_BACK == ch) ||
             _tcschr(_T("0123456789ABCDEFabcdef"), ch))
         {
             SetMsgHandled(FALSE);
             return;
         }
         MessageBeep(0);
     }
};

Note that invalid characters can still be pasted into the edit control.
You'll have to take additional steps if you want to prevent that.

- Jim

CHexEdit is a good idea, I'll try it shortly. However, how would you disable
pasting arbitrary text into the edit box?

The property page is declared as:
[
	 coclass,
	 threading(apartment),
	 vi_progid("BBB.PropPage"),
	 progid("BBB.PropPage.1"),
	 version(1.0),
	 uuid(<guid>),
	 helpstring("CBBBPropPage"),
	 default(IUnknown)
]
class ATL_NO_VTABLE CBBBPropPage :
	 public IPropertyPageImpl<CBBBPropPage>,
	 public IPersistPropertyBag,
	 public CValidateCertificate,
	 public CDialogImpl<CBBBPropPage>
{
...
Then it registered with special script (.rgs file) and can be used from any
application. So there is no AtlModule...

Just handle WM_PASTE. You can examine the contents of the clipboard, and if
you like what you see then pass the message on to the edit control.

- Jim

Awesome! Jim, I owe you several beers. I do not know where you live, but if you
happen to be in Arizona, I would be happy to bring it :)

The code I'm converting from MFC is handling many other keys including Crtl+C,
Ctrl+V, VK_DOWN, VK_TAB, VK_RETURN, VK_PRIOR, etc. Do you think they all can be
handled in OnChar or OnKeyDown functions? Looks like there is no need for
PreTranslateMessage then, right?

Thank you again to everyone!

If the edit control is in a dialog then you will have trouble with VK_TAB
and VK_RETURN, as the dialog manager intercepts those keystrokes. In that
case you have to handle the WM_GETDLGCODE message and return an appropriate
value to indicate that you want the control to receive the keystrokes.

Not sure, but I don't think there's any reason to use WTL::CString unless
you're targeting ATL version 3. Just use the ATL::CString in atlstr.h. To
get rid of the WTL one, define _WTL_NO_CSTRING, or simply don't include
atlmisc.h.

- Jim

Has anyone else tried WTL with Visual Studio 2010 Beta2 and the Windows 7 SDK? I
haven't yet, but I'm thinking about it and hoping someone who already has can
give me some tips and pointers.

I have MDI application and I want to draw some image on main MDI window

Responding on WM_PAINT message didnt work. Any idea?

In your CMainFrame::OnCreate there should be something like:

   CreateMDIClient();
   m_CmdBar.SetMDIClient(m_hWndMDIClient);

At this point you can subclass the MDICLIENT window (m_hWndMDIClient) and
handle its WM_PAINT messages.
