Use VC ++ to add a plane combo control on the toolbar

Anyone who has used Office2000 knows that its interface, especially menus and toolbar, is refreshing. Although visual c ++ development tools also provide support for tool bar, it is usually only a set of buttons and cannot be directly added to the control such as the combo box to implement the Office2000 style tool bar. This example describes how to use visual c ++ 6.0 in a Windows environment to add a plane combo box control method to the toolbar and implement the message response function of the combo box, make ourProgramLooks more professional. After the program is compiled and run, the result 1 is as follows:

Figure 1. Plane combo control in the toolbar

I. Implementation Method

Use the Application Wizard (Appwizard) to generate a project based on a single document. First open the VC toolbar resource editor and add an empty button to the toolbar to be added to the combo box, define the resource sharing ID as id_tool_zoom.

Secondly, starting from the object-oriented idea, a toolbar as a whole should be encapsulated into a class, and the combox control should be used as a member variable of the class. Therefore, use the Class Wizard classwizard of Visual C ++ to generate a new class cmaintoolbar Based on the ctoolbar and add the member variable cflatcombobox m_combobox.

when adding a control to a toolbar, call the ctoolbar: getitemid () function to obtain the ID of each button until the "null" button is found. The prototype of the ctoolbar: getitemid () function is uint getitemid (INT nindex) Const. The nindex parameter is the index number of the current button in the toolbar, the reference value of this index number is "0 ". After the "null" button is found, call the ctoolbar: setbuttoninfo () function to set the width of the button. Finally, call functions such as ccombox: Create () and ccombox: addstring () to dynamically create a plane combo control, the following Code allows you to dynamically create a plane combo control:

// set the width of the specified tool item and obtain the width of the new area 80 m_wndtoolbar.setbuttoninfo (index, id_tool_zoom, tbbs_separator, 80); m_wndtoolbar.getitemrect (Index, & rect); // set the location rect. top + = 2; rect. bottom + = 200; // create and display If (! M_wndtoolbar.m_wndzoom.create (ws_child | ws_visible | cbs_autohscroll | cbs_dropdownlist | cbs_hasstrings, rect, & m_wndtoolbar, id_tool_zoom )) {< br> trace0 ("failed to create combo-Box \ n"); return false; }< br> m_wndtoolbar.m_wndzoom.showwindow (sw_show ); // fill in the content m_wndtoolbar.m_wndzoom.addstring ("25%"); m_wndtoolbar.m_wndzoom.addstring ("50%"); Fill ("75% "); Merge ("100%"); m_wndtoolbar.m_wndzoom.addstring ("125%"); Merge ("150%"); m_wndtoolbar.m_wndzoom.addstring ("175% "); m_wndtoolbar.m_wndzoom.addstring ("200%"); m_wndtoolbar.m_wndzoom.setcursel (3);

However, it is not enough to generate a plane combo box. The message response function of the combo box must be implemented to facilitate the use of the combo box. In vsiaul C ++, message response functions are usually implemented using Class Wizard. However, because the combo box is created using the function, you must write the code by yourself, the code format is the same as that generated by the Class Wizard. You can refer to it for writing. The following code defines the message response function for selecting and changing a combo box:

//////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////// /////////////// Begin_message_map (cmainframe, cframewnd) // {Afx_msg_map (cmainframe) On_wm_create () On_cbn_selendok (id_tool_zoom, onselectzoomed) //} Afx_msg_map End_message_map () //////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////// ////////////// Afx_msg void onselectzoomed ();

Ii. programming steps

1. Start visual c ++ 6.0, generate a single document project, and name this project "toolbar ";

2. Add a tool button in the resource editor, set "caption" to null, and name the ID Resource Identifier id_tool_zoom;

3. Start Class Wizard to derive a new class cmaintoolbar from ctoolbar;

4. Add the # include "maintoolbar. H" Statement to the mainfrm. h file, find the ctoolbar m_wndtoolbar statement, and replace the ctoolbar with the cmaintoolbar;

5. Add code and compile and run the program.

Iv. Summary

In order to implement the Office2000 style toolbar, this example introduces a clever method. Using the existing development environment support of Visual C ++ 6.0, a plane combo control is added to the toolbar, the message response of the combo box is implemented. After you select an item in the combo box, a dialog box is displayed, prompting you to select the information.
