How to add a ScrollView to Dialog??

[Yusheng Dong]

Hi,


Does any one know how to add a scroll view to a dialog box? Can we add any view to dialog?

Views and dialogs do not get along. I tried many, many combinations. If you want a dialog like interface in a view then use CFormView.

If you want a smart scrolling control in a dialog then you need to write much of the scrolling yourself.

These were written for some QuickTime controls- you'll see some Mac-Like code.

Here is a class ( a hack more like ;-&gt to activate scrollbars for controls in dialogs and views.



// class to be used in a control that belongs in a dialog
class CWndScroller

CWndScroller(CWnd &inWnd);

const SIZE& sizeImage,
const SIZE& sizePage = CScrollView::sizeDefault,
const SIZE& sizeLine = CScrollView::sizeDefault);
virtual void AdjustFrame();
virtual void ResizeImage(const SIZE& sizeImage);
virtual bool OnScroll(int inBar, UInt sbCode, UInt pos, CScrollBar *bar);
virtual void OnKeyDown(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags);

virtual CSize GetImageSize()
{
return mImageSize;
}
virtual void ScrollTo(UInt32 x, UInt32 y)
{
mCurrentPos.x = x;
mCurrentPos.y = y;
mSubject.SetScrollPos(x, y);
}

mSubject.GetScrollInfo(SB_HORZ, &mInfo);
mCurrentPos.x = mInfo.nPos;
mSubject.GetScrollInfo(SB_VERT, &mInfo);
mCurrentPos.y = mInfo.nPos;
return mCurrentPos;
