Description

CCeStaticST is a class derived from MFC CStatic class.

Using this class developers will have the option to drastically improve the look and feel of their Windows Mobile based applications !

CCeStaticST has been designed and developed for the following enviroments:

• Microsoft Pocket PC 2003
• Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0
• Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0

Downloadable package contains binaries for the following platforms:

• Pocket PC 2003 emulator
• Pocket PC 2003 device (ARMV4 processor)
• Windows Mobile 5.0 emulator
• Windows Mobile 5.0 device (ARMV4I processor)

Main CCeStaticST features are:

• Standard CStatic properties
• Built-in support for any size icons
• Built-in support for transparency (for bitmapped applications)
• Support for any size icons
• Every color can be customized
• Option to send message(s) on every click or double-click
• Can be used via DDX_ calls
• Can be used in DLLs
• Can be dinamically created
• Built-in support for multiline text
• Built-in support for bold , italic and underlined text.
• Fully Unicode compatible
• Cost-less implementation in existing applications

How to integrate CCeStaticST in your application

In your project include the following files:

• CeStaticST.h
• CeStaticST.cpp

Create a CCeStaticST object statically
With dialog editor create a standard static control called, for example, IDC_STCTEST (you don't need to make it owner drawn) and create a member variable for this control:

CCeStaticST m_stcTest;

Now attach the control to CCeStaticST. For dialog-based applications, in your OnInitDialog:

// Call the base-class method
CDialog::OnInitDialog();

// Create the IDC_STCTEST control
m_stcTest.SubclassDlgItem(IDC_STCTEST, this);

Or in your DoDataExchange:

// Call the base method
CDialog::DoDataExchange(pDX);

// Create the IDC_STCTEST control
DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_STCTEST, m_stcTest);

DWORD SetMessageClick(BYTE byClickType, HWND hWnd, UINT nMsg, WPARAM wParam = 0, LPARAM lParam = 0)

DrawTransparent
Enables the transparent mode.
Note: this operation is not reversible.
DrawTransparent should be called just after the control is created.
Do not use trasparent static controls until you really need it (you have a bitmapped
background) since each transparent control makes a copy in memory of its background.
This may bring unnecessary memory use and execution overload.

// Parameters:
//     [IN]   bRepaint
//            If TRUE the control will be immediately repainted.
//
// Return value:
//      CESTATICST_OK
//          Function executed successfully.
//

GetVersionI
Returns the class version as a short value.

// Return value:
//     Class version. Divide by 10 to get actual version.
//

GetVersionC
Returns the class version as a string value.

// Return value:
//     Pointer to a null-terminated string containig the class version.
//
