Anonymous — Sun, 16 Jan 2005 10:13:28 -0000

It would be nice if the cTreeViewCtl would implement
columns in the treeview as well.

Hi,
first of all i must say i'm impressed with your work and
your website.
I have searched for an enhanced button, in that it will
display an image or icon on the left hand side (along
with caption).
Borland products use them and also, i think, PowerBuilder.
I didn't find any sample, so... i would be very gratefull if
you could extend your custom button to work in
abovementioned manner.
regards, Eling

Create wrapper for PickIconDlg Shell API

Klaus H. Probst — Fri, 12 Dec 2003 18:31:51 -0000

A simple wrapper for the PickIconDlg API (which was
documented by MSFT as part of the legal settlement)
would be cool and simple to do. The only issuse I see is
that it's a Unicode-only implementation, but that's not a
big deal. The ref is here:

Re-use ByVal variables.

Anonymous — Tue, 04 Nov 2003 22:14:18 -0000

When you have an Optional ByVal argument that has a
matching variable in the body of the method, you can
simply re-use the ByVal argument since it's ByVal.

Example (unaffected code omitted):

Friend Function DeleteKey(ByVal SubKey As String,
Optional ByVal hKey As Long = 0) As Boolean

Dim pKey As Long

pKey = hKey
If (pKey = 0) Then pKey = m_hKey
If (pKey = 0) Then Exit Function

...

End Function

Could be written as:

Friend Function DeleteKey(ByVal SubKey As String,
Optional ByVal hKey As Long = 0) As Boolean

If (hKey = 0) Then hKey = m_hKey
If (hKey = 0) Then Exit Function

...

End Function

Since hKey is ByVal anyway, the caller's variable won't
be modified. This saves you 4 bytes and a few CPU
cycles for each call to this method! This really adds up
when you have 20 methods per class that do this.

Klaus H. Probst — Thu, 28 Aug 2003 02:00:37 -0000

Add a method to CComboBoxCtl that wraps a call to
SetWindowPos and sets the dropdown height of the list
portion. Currently the only way to do this is to specify a
height in the Create() call to the class wrapper.
