CMFCPropertySheet::AddPage doesn't Create Dlg

Hello guys :)

Well, in short, im calling this function CMFCPropertySheet::AddPage()5 time with 5 CPropertyPage !

Now, all the 5 pages are added but not created as MSDN say:

Quote:

---

AddPage adds the CPropertyPage object to the CPropertySheet object's list of pages but does not actually create the window for the page. The framework postpones creation of the window for the page until the user selects that page.

---

My Problem now is that My PropertySheet need to update an EditBox in one of those page, but that page isn't created yet, so also the EditBox !

How can i create the pages window manually ?

Thanks from advance !

No one know the solution ???

You cannot update "an EditBox in one of those page" that does NOT exist yet.
You, however, can update the text you are going to display in this box.

I know i cannot update that EditBox which isnt created yet.
But since i am loading configs and i will need to update many controls to their config stats !!!

and also its not an editboc but a listview...

Creating the page (window) manually would be great !

It creates the page when you activate them by selecting that tab. If the tab isn't selected, the page isn't visible, so updating the edit control doesn't make sense. You could put your code in OnInitDialog or OnActivate for the appropriate page.

OMG !!!

Guys, if the user wont click on the tab for the first time , that tab wont be created !!!
So i want to create it manually and not waiting for the user to do it !

Must be a function to create it manually...

CPropertySheet::SetActivePage

I need it casue i need to access to the controls which are located in that page !
if the page isnt created. so also the controls !

And i cant use alternate ways since here i am talking about more than 40~ controls !

+ some logs ListView which im writing to them sometimmes...


PS: i called SetActivePage to every page, and its still didnt create them !!! (excpect the one i see currently [the last SetActivePage called page] )

It does not make any sense!:mad:
You cannot access something that does NOT exist!
And why don't you want to understand it?:confused:

It does NOT matter how many controls are there: one or "more than 40~".
The only thing that matters is whether it/they exist(s) or not.

What is/were the return value(s) of SetActivePage call(s)?
Where did you call it from?
Show your code.

Why don't you use the member variables associated with the controls instead of the controls themselves?

@GCDEF: with your way, samething happen, the control is still nto created since its part of the page !

@VictorN: of course i understand it, just you guys keep sayign samethings again and again !
The controls in that page are still NOT CREATED !

So im searchign an alternative way TO CREATE THEM and not waiting the user to click on the page !

All SetActivePage calls have returned "true" !

PS2: is there a way to create another CMFCPropertySheet withotu the dialog frame and locate it in another dialog ? (a smal size PropertySheet)

Thanks

My way doesn't need the controls. Just use the variables that are associated with the controls that store the data. Set up members using the DDX mechanism to exchange data with the controls and use them instead of the controls directly.

:mad:
I ask you again: Why do you think you need it (to create property pages before user activates them)?

Could you show your code?

Like GCDEF says, why don't you seperate the UI from the data ? All you need at initialization time is to make sure that the data in all the C++ objects representing the propertypages ( CPropertyPage objects ) properly populated. When the pages do get created , if ever, they simply show the data in the corresponding C++ object in the windows.

@kirants, GCEDF: well, they doesnt !. i have some sontrols which are acting as a listview (report), and im writing to it about every 500ms.

PLEASE dont ask why, I JUST NEED IT THATS ALL !

so i need to create the pager manually and not waiting the user to create it !

Just do NOT do it until the control will be created!
Again: it does not make any sense to update a control that User cannot or does NOT want to see.

A good programmer has to know when he's headed down the wrong path. Stubbornly sticking to or looking for the wrong solution is never productive. As has been said, the solution is to focus on the data, not the windows that may or may not be displaying it.

You have to tell all the pages what to display, so obviously you know what the data is. Use that information.

@VictorN: its a log page !, the user will maybe want to look at it latter ? isnt it ? he will be mad if he will see an empty log ...

@GCDEF: how i can add lines to report listview without touching the control O_o (since its not created) ???

All this is useless, why not just explaining me how to create it manually and finish with it ?

Thank you.

You cannot put a book on a table until this table won't be manufactured! :cool:
The same - with your control and log data.

We are trying!
But you don't want to understand the basics. :sick:

You said it right !!!

And thats why i want to create the table and not waiting the user to create the table !

Get me ?

It must be possible if the user create it...

Yes, I agree. See my replies in the posts ##7, 9 and 13

When CMFCPropertySheet::PropSheetLook_List option is used , scroll bars are not displayed

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to MSDN :

For PropSheetLook_List

The framework displays scroll arrows if there are more list items than will fit in the visible area of the list.

Unfortunately, scroll bars are not displayed when there are many items presents outside visible area.

Dear amitgpatil,
what does your post have to do with this thread where we discussed the problem "CMFCPropertySheet::AddPage doesn't Create Dlg"?

Please, don't revive the old threads if they don't need it!
