I have written a windows application, that is own using dialog boxes (NO win form).
I would like to add in some help information.
How can I capture and F1 keypress, and get the help window to open???
Everything I have read only seems to work if you have used a win form.
Thanks
Dave
One option is to use the HelpProvider component http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.helpprovider.aspx

This very annoying and I can't figure how to change it. When in Designer And I click on Help >> Help Contents from drop down menu it displays it differently than what I have been used to seeing and is very hard to navigate through. Is there a way to change the behavior? I recently got new Hard drive with Windows 10 opperating system
This is what I am used to seeing and is very navigable:
IBM Support was able to reproduce this and is looking into the issue. I did find a work around.
Open Help Contents from the drop down Help menu.
Right Click on the window and select properties.
Highlight and copy the Address (URL) line
Open a browser (not IE) and paste it in the Address line and go to the page.
It should then present it in a usable form. If not, then click on the first content and that should do the trick.
A problem report has been created with IBM or HCL or whatever they are called now: SPR # ZNDNBA7TEV: Domino Designer Help Contents Display Issue
I am using a Edit Control on my MFC VC++ project, my issue is that while I am writing on Edit Control box it takes all input text in a single row. [Enter] key is not working while I am writing on it. If I paste some lines then it will show in original format means newline works here. Plz somebody help me.. !! thanks
Use ES_WANTRETURN edit box style: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6e36b89f%28v=vs.90%29.aspx
You can set this style in the resource editor, or in dwStyle parameter of CEdit::Create method, if edit control is created in the code.
I've played around with processEnter, on command, and on anyKey with textEntry to no avail. I've been looking through the massive amount of documentation for wx-core, but I don't see anything that'll help. I'm using wxhaskell 0.13.2.1 on Windows 8.
You need to use wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER style to have a chance of capturing the Enter key in a wxTextCtrl. If you don't use it, this key is used for activating the default dialog button -- or beeping, under Windows, if there is no such button.
I have an issue with a certain XIB file. When I open it from the xcode using interface builder I get all the windows besides the screen preview one (view window).
I tried all sorts of solutions proposed here like double clicking the view object, closing and relaunching with no success. I am worried that it is lost. Please help.
Thanks,
Found the answer for this with a little help of a friend.
Double click the VIEW item from the XIB window (where you have the FILE'S OWNER and the FIRST RESPONDER).
I know it might be a novice issue but since I lost some time and nerves on this I hope ti might help others.
I had a problem in displaying icon in button along with the Text in MFC application.. after reading lot of arctilces I got a solution for that and it worked great.But when I tested my application in win xp(SP2)..it suprised me by not showing the icon..Check the below code which i used to display the icon along with a test in button..Please let me know if there are any fix for this issue..waiting for your replies
HICON addIcon = (HICON)LoadImage(AfxGetApp()->m_hInstance,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_ICON4),
IMAGE_ICON,0,0,LR_DEFAULTCOLOR);
SendMessageA(::GetDlgItem(m_hWnd,IDC_ADD),BM_SETIMAGE,IMAGE_ICON,(LPARAM)(DWORD)addIcon);
If you're using VS2008 (you should), use CMFCButton from the Feature Pack. It has much better support for bitmapped buttons.
I can confirm that i can't get it to work (on Win2003, my primary development machine) and a brief search on the web found many complaints but no viable answers.
My only suggestion would be to do an ownerdraw button - handling the WM_DRAWITEM message is not difficult and may resolve this issue for you across the board.
