如何在可视对话框编辑器中将MFC控件连接到自定义控件

Question

I have created a custom control in the MFC visual dialog designer, as shown below:

However, I am unsure how I can link my custom control (in this case I have created a class CGraphCtrl which inherits from CWnd ) to the region that I have created in the visual editor, I assumed that I would be able to do this when I called CGraphCtrl::Create , however, as that takes a const CRect& as an argument, this overrides the region specified. I am calling CGraphCtrl::Create in CStockManagerDlg::OnInit as follows:

m_graphCtrl.Create( _T("STATIC"), _T("Graph Control"), WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 
                    CRect( 0, 0, 100, 100 ), this, IDC_GRAPH );

Answer 1

You can create a CStatic control in the visual dialog editor. Then right-click on it and create a control member variable like CStatic m_graphCtrl. Then edit that code to make it a CGraphCtrl m_graphCtrl. This attaches your code to the original CStatic.
