I need a combobox in an Windows MFC application that has a search feature. It should work so that if you start typing something that matches one or more items in the list, the combobox should drop-down and display those items. Kinda like popular ajax-based search boxes on the web
Do you
- know of any control that provides this functionality?
- have a link to information on how to create such functionality myself?
- have ideas on how to do this that you could share?
Provide a handler for the CBN_EDITCHANGE event, your handler willö be called every time the user changes the text in the edit field.
In this Handler, call the CComboBox::FindString() method to see if the typed text exists in any of your combobox entries. If it does, call CComboBox::SetCurSel() to select it.
It's a Win32 api FAQ.
See Adv. Win32 api ng news://194.177.96.26/comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32
(you don't need at all CBN_EDITCHANGE. It's automatic with api)
Full access to the edit box of the combo box:
CEdit *pEdit = (CEdit *)pComboBox->GetWindow(GW_CHILD);

I have a small bit of custom functionality which I need to run from each and every grid ribbon in CRM 2011. The functionality is in a JS web-resource and I can attach it to a button enable rule and it all works fine.
The issue is that I need this to run on every grid in CRM, but I'm struggling to find something in the ribbon which appears on every screen. I did try attaching it to one of the buttons in the Jewel menu, but this only fires if the user clicks on the "File" tab.
Any thoughts...?
The jewel menu button is a good idea.
Add an anonymous JavaScript function to the library you are adding to the jewel button.
This will run when the library is loaded, just after the page loads:
var whatever = 30; // maybe you do not need a parameter
(function (what) {
/* Do what you need to do */
}(whatever));
If it’s on premise I‘d inject my script to the ribbon.js or global.js or some other js and ping from there.
Another option, less intrusive , is to use a resource that runs in each and every form i.e. myframewrok.js. This resource can check for the opener and inject the script to the opener dynamically.
A third options might be to ping a web service using a plug-in registered on execute or retrieve multiple messages which fire repeatedly for any grid in the system.
In the end we attached it to the "Advanced Find" button as this appeared on every ribbon that we needed the functionality on. The Jewel menu did not seem to work for us as it only fired when the user actually clicked the "File" button.
I want to disable a menu from "More" options in form view while using action type "ir.actions.server".
How can i make it possible?
In case of action type "ir.actions.act_window" we can do it by multi = True. Is there any equivalent attribute or something exists for this?
Thanx in advance.
As siddharth jambukiya said, we can use a web module to do his. But there is an another method that can be done from python. If you look at the result of the function field_view_get of the model to which the server action belong, you an see that there is a key called "toolbar" in the fields_view_get result. This key contains all the details regarding the action in the "Print" and "More" dropdown in web client. So if you remove the server action from here, that server action wont be listed in the "More" dropdown.
You can remove any Menu from "More" using web client. you need to implement web module to remove option from More menu. i think no other alternative attribute exists in openerp.
I am new to MFC. In the project I am working on the dialogs are created in resource file(.rc).
In that there are OK button(id ID_OK) and Help button (id ID_Help). I am not able to find the event handlers for these two buttons. There are other buttons where the event handlers mapped are easily found. If someone teach me how to find those event handlers it would be very helpful.
And how can I find the functions which get called on clicking of the particular button by debugging in visual studio?
Thank you.
Double click the button (shown in rc) opened in Resource View in Visual Studio and you will be automatically placed by Studio where the Event handler is located in your code.
If this does not work, then probably delete the Button with ID's ID_OK and ID_Help in your resource view and again add it to the resource using different ID and then try to generate the event handler by double-clicking those buttons in resource view. This is because sometimes the value of ID's conflict with other ID values and hence Studio is not able to generate the Event-handler for you in that case.
Buttons don't have direct event handlers as in other frameworks (like in C#, WinForms etc). You must use message-maps in MFC.
ID_OK maps to virtual function CDialog::OnOK, you can just write your virtual function implementation. Framework will call it for you. You can also handle this message with WM_COMMAND message entry.
There is no standard resource ID as ID_Help - it is always capital, and has to be always in caps! No one is stopping you from using small letters, though - it for consistency and better readability.
Instead of fiddling with resource files (.RC and resource.h), mapping the same with your dialog class and things like that. I suggest you to go, and learn, without resource file. Start with drawing in frame (circles, filled-triangles whatever). Learn and know why virtual function are there for some messages, and message-maps for other (most) messages.
My two cents.
In the source code for a master page, there is a section that has the following ASP.NET item: . This contains the "Welcome (User Name)" and Site Actions menus.
How do I create an additional menu that is similar to the look and feel of the Welcome menu? I've tried to create Front End HTML that behaves similar to the out of the box SharePoint menus, but it isn't quite right. I would prefer to utilize an ASP.NET or SharePoint control that acts similar to the SharePoint menu if that is possible.
For example, is <SharePoint:AspMenu> the appropriate control to use?
Thanks,
Robert
i am sure you will get better answer than this but just wanted to point what i have done to do this
i have added javascript library (JQuery) (for some other reason ) and when time come to do this thing i just added a JQuery code that creates another item in the navigation list with appropriate style and css class with the needed link and caption.
You could try another instance of the PersonalActions control with a custom GroupId. But when the control is rendered, it might also say "Welcome, [User]" just like the original.
I have already asked the same question but in regards with MDI Application design. Now just for R&D purpose so that we can go with 2 solutions to our user. Can somebody plz help me out...
We are developing an OutLook Style Application using C# Winforms. In that application we are using Microsoft Table Control. Which is what we need to show our UI. In the left hand pane we have menu and in the right hand we are displaying our UserControl. Like CustomerManager. This UserControl is doing Adding, Updating, Deleting ect etc but we want to put the common action buttons, Like Add,Delete,Save on the top toolbar.
So far so good, Now what we need to acheve is regardless of UserControl. What ever UserControl is loaded in the MainForm's TableControl. When the save button is clicked it should process the data on that UserControl. Obviously we will write the logic of the Save Action on each UserControl.
Please help...
Regards
Shanx
I may advice you the Krypton Toolkit. You will write an Outlook style app in seconds.
For all who ended up here like me in search of a free toolkit: As Vulkanino suggested to use Krypton, I loooked it up.
This is now open source Freeware and can be found unter: Krypton Toolkit
Create a Base user control that contains your Add, Delete, Save methods and events. Then create every other functional control that inherits from the Base control.
When you action the main toolbar buttons, you can safely cast each user control in your given container, to the Base user control.
