In MFC how can we add (?)context help button in title bar of childframe. I tried to add window style on precreatewindow but it does not display help button in title bar. I know how to add contexthelp on dialogs and propertysheet but I am unable to add for child frame window
BOOL CChildFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
cs.style &= ~WS_MAXIMIZEBOX;
cs.style &= ~WS_MINIMIZEBOX;
cs.style |= WS_SYSMENU;
cs.style |= WS_EX_CONTEXTHELP;
if( !CMDIChildWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs) )
return FALSE;
return TRUE;
}
WS_EX_CONTEXTHELP is an extended style, so you should be adding it to cs.dwExStyle instead of cs.style. Also, I believe you get the WS_SYSMENU by default, so something like the following should fix you up:
BOOL CChildFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
cs.style &= ~WS_MAXIMIZEBOX;
cs.style &= ~WS_MINIMIZEBOX;
cs.dwExStyle |= WS_EX_CONTEXTHELP;
if( !CMDIChildWndEx::PreCreateWindow(cs) )
return FALSE;
return TRUE;
}
Sincerely,
