[Closed] WM_PASTE for an edit control in toolbar

How do I capture WM_PASTE for an edit control in a toolbar?

We are converting our user interface to using Xtreme ToolkitPro. In our
original code we have an edit box on a toolbar in which we override the
WindowProc function and test the message for WM_PASTE.

How can I do this with Xtreme ToolkitPro? I have tried a few things and
have failed so I am trying them again with the CustomThemes example
program because it has an edit box in a toolbar. Here are the results:

I followed Olegs 2nd response to topic "Change notification for
CXTPControlEdit", so now I have a control derived from
CXTPControlEditCtrl. I added ON_WM_CHAR() to the message map and added
the OnChar function. It gets called, that's great. But I added the
WindowProc function and it never gets called. I copied the function
from my existing (pre-CodeJock) code, so the function signature should
be correct.

I also tried adding "ON_MESSAGE(WM_PASTE, OnPaste)" to the message map but OnPaste never gets called.

Thanks for any assistance that can be provided.

	Is my question unclear or am I out of luck in getting this functionality?

	Hi, First you need to make custom edit class for CXTPControlEdit. In CustomThemes sample it is CControlComboBoxEditEx: Somethinh like this: class CMyEdit: public CXTPControlEditCtrl { public: DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP() }; class CControlMyEdit : public CXTPControlEdit { DECLARE_XTP_CONTROL(CControlMyEdit) public: virtual CXTPControlEditCtrl* CreateEditControl() { return new CMyEdit(); } }; and you will be able to catch all messages in your CMyEdit.

	Bummer :-( That's exactly what I did. I just did a little test with CustomThemes and had no luck. It's using a combobox rather than an edit box, but hopefully the basics are the same and we can press on. I'll detail my changes here: I added the code in Bold: class CControlComboBoxEditEx : public CXTMaskEditT<CXTPControlComboBoxEditCtrl> { public: afx_msg int OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct); LRESULT CControlComboBoxEditEx::OnPaste(WPARAM, LPARAM); DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP() }; BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CControlComboBoxEditEx, CXTMaskEditT<CXTPControlComboBoxEditCtrl>) ON_MASKEDIT_REFLECT() ON_WM_CREATE() ON_MESSAGE(WM_PASTE, OnPaste) END_MESSAGE_MAP() LRESULT CControlComboBoxEditEx::OnPaste(WPARAM, LPARAM) { return 1; // I set a breakpoint here. } I pasted data into the control labeled Masked and I do not hit my breakpoint. I/We must be missing something simple. Or the control isn't getting WM_PASTE.

	Any more ideas? I'm sure we're just missing something simple.

	Hello, Right :( Just tested it and it doesn't work. The thing that Edit of combobox is actual RichEdit not standard Edit and WM_PASTE for RichEdit is not called. To create standard Edit instead RichEdit just overridethis function: BOOL CControlComboBoxEditEx::CreateEdit(DWORD dwStyle, CWnd* pParentWnd) { return CEdit::Create(dwStyle, CRect(0, 0, 0, 0), pParentWnd, 0); }

	Thanks Oleg, I would have nevered figured that out on my own. For anyone else reading this, here is my final routine: BOOL ControlIntEditCtrl::CreateEdit(DWORD dwStyle, CWnd* pParentWnd) { BOOL bRetVal = CEdit::Create(dwStyle, CRect(0, 0, 0, 0), pParentWnd, 0); // NOTE: I needed the SetWindowText to get the edit control to start with "1", // but after updating to CodeJock 10.3 this no longer worked. (So, I have the // view post a message to itself in OnInitialUpdate to get the edit box // initialized.) //pControlIntEdit->SetEditText(_T("1")); in MainFram failed to work after added this routine. //SetWindowText(_T("1")); return bRetVal; }
