1.18.1.4.4 Splitter Dialog

Splitter DialogDialog with Tree View Control This example shows how to create a splitter dialog, which provides a better display of tree view or grid view.

Prepare Dialog Resource

To create this dialog, you first must prepare a dialog resource with a Static control and two Button controls. Here we just use the existing resource IDD_SAMPLE_SPLITTER_DLG in the built-in OriginC\Originlab\ODlg8.dll file to simplify this example.

Prepare Source File

Source File, NewIn Code Builder, click New button, type file name, and set Location as the same path of the above dialog resource dll oDlg8.dll - Origin install path OriginC\Originlab subfolder.

Including Header Files

The following header files will be used in the example. Copy the following to the above created source file.

#include <..\Originlab\DialogEx.h>
#include <..\Originlab\SplitterControl.h>
#include <..\Originlab\DynaSplitter.h>

Adding User Defined Splitter Class

Classes, User DefinedWe can derive a class from TreeDynaSplitter. Most dialog initialization and other event functions' code are done in a base class and make our splitter class a light class. Message Map

class MySplitter : public TreeDynaSplitter
{
public:
	MySplitter(){}
	~MySplitter(){}
	//init the splitter control
	int	Init(int nCtrlID, WndContainer& wndParent, LPCSTR lpcszDlgName = NULL)
	{
		TreeDynaSplitter::Init(nCtrlID, wndParent, 0, lpcszDlgName);
		return 0;
	}
	//output current settings
	void	Output()
	{
		out_tree(m_trSettings);

Adding User Defined Splitter Dialog Class

Dialog, Event FunctionsThe splitter dialog contains a splitter control object, so the dialog can initialize the splitter control and post messages to it on the proper events.

//dialog name, which will also be used to save settings in registry
#define	STR_DLG_NAME	"My Splitter Dialog"
class MySplitterDlg : public MultiPaneDlg
{
public:
	//resource ID and which DLL contains this dialog resource
	MySplitterDlg() : MultiPaneDlg(IDD_SAMPLE_SPLITTER_DLG, "ODlg8")
	{
	}
	~MySplitterDlg()
	{
	}
	//open dialog until user close it.
	int	DoModalEx(HWND hParent = NULL)
	{
		//set up message map
		InitMsgMap();
		return DoModal(hParent, DLG_NO_DEFAULT_REPOSITION);
	}
	//init controls and other settings before dialog open
	BOOL	OnInitDialog();
	//when dialog initialization finish
	BOOL	OnReady();
	//when user click 'Output' button
	BOOL	OnOutput(Control ctrl);
protected:
	DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP
private:
	MySplitter	m_Splitter;
	
};

//map dialog message
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(MySplitterDlg)
	ON_INIT(OnInitDialog)
	ON_READY(OnReady)
	ON_BN_CLICKED(IDC_LOAD, OnOutput)
END_MESSAGE_MAP

BOOL	MySplitterDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
	//rename buttons title to meaningful text
	GetDlgItem(IDC_LOAD).Text = "Output";
	GetDlgItem(IDCANCEL).Text = "Close";
	m_Splitter.Init(IDC_FB_BOX, *this, STR_DLG_NAME);
	return TRUE;
}

BOOL	MySplitterDlg::OnReady()
{
	//update dialog
	UpdateDlgShow();
	SetInitReady();
	//set splittercontrol ready as to init the position and size
	m_Splitter.OnReady();
	return TRUE;
}

BOOL	MySplitterDlg::OnOutput(Control ctrl)
{
	//dump current user settings.
	m_Splitter.Output();
	return TRUE;
}

Open Dialog

Dialog, OpenAfter the steps above, save all the code and build it, then execute the following function to open the splitter dialog.

void	test_MySplitterDlg()
{
	MySplitterDlg dlg;
	dlg.DoModalEx(GetWindow());
}
