The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How to handle Mouse movement/ Draw a rectangle within CStatic/Picture box

Asked by datlamadhu509 in Windows Programming, Windows MFC Programming

Tags: mouse, cstatic, draw

Hello,

I have a picture box, in which I need to draw a rectangle when user
makes a selection by dragging the mouse.

I am able to capture the mouse click event in the picture box(by
deriving from CStatic and handled the
ON_STN_CLICKED event from main Form).

But I am unable to understand how to capture mouse drag/ draw a
rectangle over picture box when the mouse moves. (New to MFC
programming, Pls help, any tips on how to handle OnLButtonUp,
OnMouseMove events for CStatic controls!) I really appreciate any
help.


Heres the code of what I have right now:

CpictureBox.h
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
class CPictureBox : public CStatic
{
       DECLARE_DYNAMIC(CPictureBox)

public:
       CPictureBox();
       virtual ~CPictureBox();
       void SetBitmap(CString strBitmap);
protected:
               afx_msg void OnPaint();
               void ShowBitmap(CPaintDC *pDC);
               CString m_sBitmap;
               CBitmap m_bmpBitmap;
               BITMAP bm;
               CRect m_Rect;

       DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
};

void CPictureBox::OnLButtonDown(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{
  m_Tracking = TRUE;
  SetCapture();
  m_Rect.right = m_Rect.left = point.x;
  m_Rect.bottom = m_Rect.top = point.y;
  Invalidate();
  CStatic::OnLButtonDown(nFlags, point);

}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CPictureBox.cpp -- These dont get the control when events are fired!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void CPictureBox::OnMouseMove(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{
  if (m_Tracking)
  {
     m_Rect.right = point.x;
     m_Rect.bottom = point.y;
     Invalidate();
  }

  CStatic::OnMouseMove(nFlags, point);
}

----------------------------
Main Dialog.cpp--
-----------------
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CmfcThsProj1Dlg, CDialog)
       ON_WM_SYSCOMMAND()
       ON_WM_PAINT()
       ON_WM_QUERYDRAGICON()
       //}}AFX_MSG_MAP
       ON_BN_CLICKED(IDC_BTN_BROWSE, OnBnClickedBtnBrowse)
       ON_WM_MOUSEMOVE()
       ON_STN_CLICKED(IDC_STATIC_PICBOX, OnStnClickedStaticPicbox)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()


void CmfcThsProj1Dlg::OnStnClickedStaticPicbox()
{
       // TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
       MessageBox("hello world");
       //CPictureBox::OnLButtonUp
       //m_PictureBox.Invalidate();
}
