Title: using win32 resources
Post by: colddax on June 11, 2007, 03:35:35 PM

Hello Everyone.

I am relatively new to gui programming with win32. I have a question about using resources with the pelles editor.

I know how to draw a progress bar using the following

Code Select


	hWndProgressBar = CreateWindowEx( 
            0,
            PROGRESS_CLASS, 
            (LPSTR)NULL, 
            WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD| PBS_SMOOTH, 
            36,     // x
            141,   // y
            100,   // width
            14,     // height
            g_Windowhandle, 
            (HMENU)MainProgress, 
            (HINSTANCE)GetWindowLongPtr(g_Windowhandle, GWL_HINSTANCE), 
            NULL); 

            if (!hWndProgressBar)
            MessageBox(NULL, "Progress Bar Failed.", "Error", MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR);


            SendMessage(hWndProgressBar, PBM_SETRANGE, 0, MAKELPARAM(0, 20)); 
            SendMessage(hWndProgressBar, PBM_SETSTEP, (WPARAM)5, 0);

If I were to just draw a progress bar using the pelles editor, how do I tap into it? The functions seem to want a HWND. If there some registration function I need to use?

Thanks.

Code Select


//suppose elsewhere in h file
#define    DLG_MAIN           1001
#define    IDC_PROGRESS    1002

.........

//in code
hWndProgressBar =  GetDlgItem(DLG_MAIN, IDC_PROGRESS);
SendMessage(hWndProgressBar,........

//or

SendDlgItemMessage(DLG_MAIN, IDC_PROGRESS,........

Thank you very much Lamer!

That was way easier than I thought it was going to be. ;D
