mfc >> Adding Property pages from Dll?

by Simon » Tue, 01 Feb 2005 21:00:01 GMT

Hi,

I want to create an app that allows the user to add property pages to my
dialog box.
I will off course have a basic property sheet but how can I add a page
via a dll?

Would COM be what I need? I recall something like that on codeproject
but I cannot find it.

Any hint? Many thanks

Simon.

I had this same requirement. I have a control panel applet that has a set of
property pages. The applet will also look for components with certain
extensions, LoadLibrary the module, and make a call into that dll via
GetProcAddress mechanisms. One of the things returned is a pointer to a
CPropertySheet based object. I then add this to the CPropertySheet object
within the control panel applet. The only way I could properly get this to
work was to make the components an MFC Extension dll.

I haven't done that yet but plan to. My approach was going to be for a dll
to expose a set of predefined API's starting with EG
GetExportedDialogsCount() int;
then have a factory function in the dll that will make a modeless child
dialog on a property page with the appropriate WS styles.
API's would be needed to get the default page captions etc.

1. How to create a property page from a property page 

Hello,

I am trying to create a property page using ATL. I understand that the
dialog created by the ATL property page will have "OK", "Cancel" and
"Apply" button automatically. In my design, in this dialog, after
click a certain button, another property page will popup. My question
is, how to add the other property page into the first property page in
my project. In VC 7.0, when I couldn't add a class to my existing
project by selecting ATL property page.

Your help are appreciated!

5. Adding Help to ATL dialogs or property pages 

Hi, there.  The only documentation I found on adding help to ATL is the one
where your have to add some starter files copied from an MFC project.  Is
that really the only way?

Also, it seems like with ATL, you can only use WinHelp and not HTML Help.
Has anyone successfully incorporated the latter into their ATL project?  Not
that I prefer HTML Help.  I'm actually still weighing the two.  If you also
have opinions on which one I should use, please throw them in as well.

I would really appreciate all inputs.
