 Posted: Fri Apr 25, 2008 6:37 pm Post subject: Runtime controls or resources |
 |
|
Well, I wanted to know what the community thinks. Should I make my controls (i.e. buttons, listboxes, menus and such) at runtime. Or should I use resources. I personally like making them at runtime because I've always done it that way. And I don't like using resource editors. But what do you guys thinks?

Make a dialog, then just export it as code.

Hehe, I love it too. 
Btw...it generates something like this...
| Code: |
// Generated by ResEdit 1.4.3
// Copyright (C) 2006-2008
// http://www.resedit.net
HINSTANCE hInst = GetModuleHandle(0);
WNDCLASSEX wcex;
ZeroMemory(&wcex, sizeof wcex);
wcex.cbSize = sizeof wcex;
wcex.hbrBackground = GetSysColorBrush(COLOR_3DFACE);
wcex.lpszMenuName = 0;
HMENU hmenu2 = CreateMenu();
HMENU hmenu2_1 = CreatePopupMenu();
AppendMenu(hmenu2_1, MF_STRING, IDM_EXIT1, TEXT("Exit"));
AppendMenu(hmenu2, MF_STRING | MF_POPUP | MF_MENUBREAK, (UINT_PTR)hmenu2_1, TEXT("File"));

HMENU hmenu2_4 = CreatePopupMenu();
AppendMenu(hmenu2_4, MF_STRING, IDM_ABOUT1, TEXT("About"));
AppendMenu(hmenu2_4, MF_STRING, IDM_CREDITS1, TEXT("Credits"));
AppendMenu(hmenu2, MF_STRING | MF_POPUP | MF_MENUBREAK, (UINT_PTR)hmenu2_4, TEXT("Help"));
wcex.style = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW;
wcex.lpfnWndProc = DefWindowProc;
wcex.hInstance = hInst;
wcex.hIcon = LoadIcon(0, (LPCTSTR)IDI_APPLICATION);
wcex.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
wcex.lpszClassName = WndClass33;
RegisterClassEx(&wcex);
HFONT hfont3 = CreateFont(-11, 0, 0, 0, 400, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, 1, 400, 0, 0, 0, TEXT("Ms Shell Dlg 2"));
HWND hwnd = CreateWindowEx(, WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE, TEXT("WndClass3"), TEXT("Process Killer"), WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER | WS_CAPTION | WS_DLGFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_THICKFRAME | WS_SYSMENU, 0, 0, 287, 110, 0, 0, hInst, 0);
HWND hCtrl3_0 = CreateWindowEx(0, WC_BUTTON, TEXT("Kill Process"), WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | WS_TABSTOP, 95, 42, 75, 23, hwnd, (HMENU)IDOK, hInst, 0);
SendMessage(hCtrl3_0, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)hfont3, FALSE);
HWND hCtrl3_1 = CreateWindowEx(0, WC_COMBOBOX, 0, WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | CBS_DROPDOWN | CBS_HASSTRINGS, 47, 8, 210, 23, hwnd, (HMENU)IDC_COMBO1, hInst, 0);
SendMessage(hCtrl3_1, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)hfont3, FALSE);
HWND hCtrl3_2 = CreateWindowEx(0, WC_STATIC, TEXT("Process"), WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | WS_GROUP, 8, 8, 39, 13, hwnd, (HMENU)IDC_STATIC, hInst, 0);
SendMessage(hCtrl3_2, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)hfont3, FALSE);

And I would turn it into something like this (just bare bones, no real functions yet...)
| Code: |

int nFunsterStil)
{

Use the method you like doing. There isn't really a better between the two, they result in the same thing.

I personally like creating at runtime because well. I never really was taught how to make buttons and edits with resources in my main form. Oh sure, I can do it in dialogs, but I don't want my main form to be a dialog. Even with resedit (the program Flyte suggested), it only allows creations of buttons and edits and stuff like that through a dialog. So really if I want to make buttons and stuff in my main form without it being a dialog, I gotta do it at runtime. But a link showing me how to do it with resources would be great.

It is. But does anybody have a tutorial on how to create controls (i.e. buttons) in resources without it being a dialog.
