DOCUMENT:Q168289 17-JUL-2001 [visualc] TITLE :PRB: Toolbar Buttons Not Updated/Painted Correctly in Windows 95 PRODUCT :Microsoft C Compiler PROD/VER:winnt:4.0,4.1,4.2,4.2b,5.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbMFC kbToolbar KbUIDesign kbVC400 kbVC410 kbVC420 kbVC500 kbGrpDSMFCATL kbNoUpdate ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - The Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), used with: - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, versions 4.0, 4.1, 4.2b - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition, version 4.2 - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Professional Edition, version 4.2 - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition, version 5.0 - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Professional Edition, version 5.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== Buttons on a toolbar that were created using CToolBar may not update or paint correctly if the buttons have text associated with them. This happens only on Windows 95 machines with Internet Explorer 3.x installed. CAUSE ===== This is due to a bug in the ComCtl32.dll (version 4.70) that is installed with Internet Explorer 3.x. RESOLUTION ========== To work around this problem, derive a class from CToolBar and override DefWindowProc as follows: // MyToolBar.h : headerfile class CMyToolBar : public CToolBar { ... protected: virtual LRESULT DefWindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam); ... }; // MyToolBar.cpp : implementation file #include "stdafx.h" #include "mytoolbar.h" ... LRESULT CMyToolBar::DefWindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { // the toolbar common control does not handle these messages well // if the WS_VISIBLE style is not turned on under Windows 95 DWORD style = GetStyle(); if (message == TB_DELETEBUTTON || message == TB_INSERTBUTTON) { if (!(style & WS_VISIBLE)) { ModifyStyle(0,WS_VISIBLE); } } LRESULT lresult = CToolBar::DefWindowProc(message, wParam, lParam); if (message == TB_DELETEBUTTON || message ==TB_INSERTBUTTON) { if (!(style & WS_VISIBLE)) { ModifyStyle(WS_VISIBLE,0); } } return lresult; } You can derive the CToolBar by using ClassWizard to derive from "generic CWnd" and changing all CWnd references to CToolBar. STATUS ====== Because Microsoft Visual C++, version 6.0 requires Internet Explorer 4.01, Service Pack 1, this problem no longer exists in Visual C++, version 6.0. MORE INFORMATION ================ Steps to Reproduce Behavior --------------------------- Add the following code to CMainFrame::OnCreate in a Default Appwizard Application: BOOL CMainFrame::OnCreate(...) { ... m_wndToolBar.SetButtonText(0,"New"); m_wndToolBar.SetButtonText(1,"Open"); m_wndToolBar.SetButtonText(2,"Save"); m_wndToolBar.SetButtonText(4,"Cut"); m_wndToolBar.SetButtonText(5,"Copy"); m_wndToolBar.SetButtonText(6,"Paste"); m_wndToolBar.SetButtonText(8,"Print"); m_wndToolBar.SetButtonText(9,"About"); CRect temp; m_wndToolBar.GetItemRect(0,&temp); m_wndToolBar.SetSizes( CSize(temp.Width(),temp.Height()), CSize(16,15)); return 0; } (c) Microsoft Corporation 1997, All Rights Reserved.
