I would like to find all of the static controls on a form view.

I want to disable all controls except the statics (to prevent accidental edits until the user has confirmed that they intend to edit).

I can't see a way to get at cs.lpszClass.

And the "un-attached" CWnd has a runtime class of CWnd, so I can't test the actual RUNTIME CLASS.

Unless I know the class, I don't think I can reliably test the style masks either?

Is there an easy way to do this?


for(pWnd = GetWindow(GW_CHILD); pWnd != NULL; pWnd = pWnd->GetWindow(GW_HWNDNEXT) )

{
CString sText;
pWnd->GetWindowText( sText );

TRACE( _T("Processing %s / %s\n"), pWnd->GetRuntimeClass()->m_lpszClassName, sText );

TRACE( _T("style 0X%08x\n"), pWnd->GetStyle() );


}

Hi,

Use GetClassName:

TCHAR szClassName[10];
if ((!::GetClassName(m_hWnd, szClassName, 10)) || // didn't get class
(lstrcmpi(szClassName, _T("Static"))))

{

Thanks. I discovered that after I posted here.

I still didn't find masks for filtering all of the styles. For example BS_PUSHBUTTON is 0. I can't use this technique for a value of zero.



if( (pWnd->GetStyle() & BS_GROUPBOX ) == BS_GROUPBOX )

Yes, BS_PUSHBUTTON is 0.

if( (pWnd->GetStyle() & 0xF) == BS_GROUPBOX )

...

if( (pWnd->GetStyle() & 0xF) == BS_PUSHBUTTON)

etc.
