DLGITEMTEMPLATEEX
The DLGITEMTEMPLATEEX structure is not defined in any standard header file. The structure
definition is provided here to explain the format of an extended template for a dialog
box.
For each control in a dialog box, an extended dialog box template has a block
of data that uses the DLGITEMTEMPLATEEX format to describe the control. For a description of the format of an
extended dialog box template, see DLGTEMPLATEEX.
// typedef struct {
// DWORD helpID;
// DWORD exStyle;
// DWORD style;
// short x;
// short y;
// short cx;
// short cy;
// WORD id;
// sz_Or_Ord windowClass; // name or ordinal of a window class
// sz_Or_Ord title; // title string or ordinal of a resource
// WORD extraCount; // bytes of following creation data
// } DLGITEMTEMPLATEEX;
Members
helpID
Specifies the help context identifier for the control. When the system sends a WM_HELP message, it passes the helpID value in the dwContextId member of the HELPINFO structure.
dwExtendedStyle
Specifies extended styles for a window. This member is not used to create
controls in dialog boxes, but applications that use dialog box templates can use it
to create other types of windows.
style
Specifies the style of the control. This member can be a combination of window
style values (such as WS_BORDER) and one or more of the control style values
(such as BS_PUSHBUTTON and ES_LEFT).
x
Specifies the x-coordinate, in dialog box units, of the upper-left corner of
the control. This coordinate is always relative to the upper-left corner of the
dialog box's client area.
y
Specifies the y-coordinate, in dialog box units, of the upper-left corner of
the control. This coordinate is always relative to the upper-left corner of the
dialog box's client area.
cx
Specifies the width, in dialog box units, of the control.
cy
Specifies the height, in dialog box units, of the control.
id
Specifies the control identifier.
windowClass
Specifies a variable-length array of 16-bit elements that identifies the
window class of the control. If the first element of this array is any value other
than 0xFFFF, the system treats the array as a null-terminated Unicode string
that specifies the name of a registered window class.
If the first element is 0xFFFF, the array has one additional element that
specifies the ordinal value of a predefined system class. The ordinal can be one of
the following atom values.
Value
| Meaning
| 0x0080
| Button
| 0x0081
| Edit
| 0x0082
| Static
| 0x0083
| List box
| 0x0084
| Scroll bar
| 0x0085
| Combo box
|
title
Specifies a variable-length array of 16-bit elements that contains the initial
text or resource identifier of the control. If the first element of this array
is 0xFFFF, the array has one additional element that specifies an ordinal
value that identifies a resource, such as an icon, in an executable file. You can
use a resource identifier for controls, such as static icon controls, that load
and display an icon or other resource rather than text.
If the first element is any value other than 0xFFFF, the system treats the
array as a null-terminated Unicode string that specifies the initial text.
extraCount
Specifies the number of bytes of creation data that follow this member. If
this value is greater than zero, the creation data begins at the next DWORD boundary. This creation data can be of any size and format. The control's
window procedure must be able to interpret the data. When the system creates the
control, it passes a pointer to this data in the lParam parameter of the WM_CREATE message that it sends to the control.
Remarks
An extended template for a dialog box consists of a DLGTEMPLATEEX header followed by a DLGITEMTEMPLATEEX structure for each control in the dialog box.
Each DLGITEMTEMPLATEEX structure must be aligned on a DWORD boundary. The variable-length windowClass and title arrays must be aligned on WORD boundaries. The creation data array, if any, must be aligned on a DWORD boundary.
If you specify character strings in the windowClass and title arrays, you must use Unicode strings. To create code that works on both
Windows NT and Windows 95, use the MultiByteToWideChar function to generate these Unicode strings.
The x, y, cx, and cy members specify values in dialog box units. You can convert these values to
screen units (pixels) by using the MapDialogRect function.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
