Help me see my CProgressCtrl in Status Bar

[Simon Pettman]

I have declared

*** CProgressCtrl m_progress;

In CmainFrm.

Declared ID_PROGRESS in the string table. Added it to the indicators.

*** static UINT indicators[] =

*** {

*** ID_SEPARATOR, // status line indicator

*** ID_PROGRESS,

*** ID_X,

*** ID_Y,

*** ID_Z,

*** ID_R,

*** ID_THETA

*** };

I have created the control with the following code.

*** index=0;

*** while(m_wndStatusBar.GetItemID(index)!=ID_PROGRESS) // finds the index

*** index++;

*** m_wndStatusBar.GetItemRect(index,&rect); // get size and position of ID_PROGRESS

***

*** if(!m_progress.Create( WS_VISIBLE

*** | WS_CHILD | PBS_SMOOTH | WS_BORDER,

*** rect,&m_wndStatusBar,ID_PROGRESS)) // maybe &m_wndStatusBar is wrong

*** {

*** AfxMessageBox("Failed to create progress bar\n");

*** // fail to create

*** }

No message is generated so I assume that the creation is successful.

However, when I obtain a pointer to the CmainFrm, and try and update the control from elsewhere (or even in the

CmainFrm itself). Nothing is displayed! Can you see what’s wrong.

*** pFrame->m_progress.SetRange32(0,nCount);

*** pFrame->m_progress.SetStep(1);

*** for (…/* some loop */..)

*** {

*** pFrame->m_progress.StepIt();

*** }
