    Posted: 09 May 2003 at 3:07pm

I would like to create an application with a Visual Studio 7 style interface. I have looked over the example program that came with my purchase. So far I have been unable to duplicate the same interface using the wizard(s). Can anyone give me an idea on how to create this type of shell?

 

Thanks!

You can use the vc6 ApplicationWizard to create a project using the xp look and choosing the tabbed workspace and output window.

Ok, I'll admit it up front that sometimes I am a little slow to grasp things and maybe this is the case...

I still can't get what I am looking for regarding the Vis Studio 7 style interface. I am performing the following steps:

1. File | New | XTreme Toolkit App Wizard and enter my project name.

2. Single Document Application

3. No document support

4. Accept defaults for features to include

5. Accept defaults for style of project.

6. First page of XTreme Toolkit options - I select the Office XP style interface and leave other defaults.

7. Accept defaults.

8. Finish app wizard.

9. Build project and execute.

That's what I am performing and I am unable to attain the VS7 "look" in my application. Clearly I am doing something wrong or am missing the boat. Please help this Okie (Oklahoman) understand what the problem is... I am using VC++ 6.

I should state that I am trying to recreate the same shell found, based on the GUI_VisualStudio7 sample included with XTreme Toolkit.

Thanks for a GREAT product.

John Hagen

Ok, lets step thru this ...

Create a new project using the Xtreme Tookit AppWizard (currently only vc5 and vc6):

Step 1: use defaults
Step 2: use defaults
Step 3: use defaults
Step 4: use defaults
Step 5: use defaults
Step 6: Check Enable Office-XP, check Dockable Output bar, check Dockable WOrkspace bar
Step 7: use defaults
Step 8: finish

There you have it, a skeleton application that you can use as a starting point for your VisualStudio 7 style project.

Best regards,
Codejock Support

Well... I did what you suggested and I end up with an application that resembles Visual Studio 6, (3 window panes displayed) not Visual Studio 7 (.NET) as I was wanting.

Maybe I'm confused and that is the problem. Geesh, I'm not trying to make this difficult, honest...

I'm still trying to generate an application from the Xtreme Toolkit AppWizard, to have a GUI shell that looks like a VS C++ 7.0 application.

I am using VC++ 6.0, XTreme Toolkit 3.1 and have the PropertyGrid development files installed as well. I expect my application shell to resemble the GUI_VisualStudio7 sample file (without all of the add-on code for displaying the data of course).

When I followed the above recommendations posted by the Administrator, I end up with a GUI application that resembles the VC 6 IDE, not VC 7's IDE.

I think I have tried every combination of options to no avail. If I'm the only one that has this problem, can someone e-mail me a bare bones shell application and just call the project MyEditor? I have been unsuccessful for weeks and it is very frustrating. It's taking me weeks to create something that is supposed to take minutes... and I am still unsuccessful.

         Thanks.

Hello,

The application wizard will not write all the code for you.  It only generates a skeleton application for you to begin working with.  I have attached a sample that was created using the above steps.  I made a couple of minor tweaks to add MDI tab windows and dock the windows to the right side other than that it is the same.  For the rest, examine the visual studio GUI sample that comes with the toolkit.

Cheers,

AH ha... I was under the impression that the wizard would generate the entire shell (VS 7 look and feel) and not a VS 6 look and feel, then my responsibility to add in the other "optios". Sorry for the apparent confusion on my part.

I appreciate your time and effort to help me out. I really like your software!
