HOWTO: How to Add Buttons to a Modeless CPropertySheet (140586)

SUMMARY

By default, a modeless CPropertySheet doesn't have any buttons. To add buttons, derive a class from CPropertySheet and override OnInitDialog(). In OnInitDialog(), you'll have to resize the CPropertySheet and add your buttons. You can also add additional buttons to a modal CPropertySheet using this method.

// This code shows how to resize a modeless CPropertySheet to add a button.
// CMySheet is derived from CPropertySheet

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMySheet, CPropertySheet)
          //{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CMySheet)
          //}}AFX_MSG_MAP
          ON_COMMAND(IDC_MYBUTTON, OnMyButton)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

BOOL CMySheet::OnInitDialog()
{
          CPropertySheet::OnInitDialog();

          RECT rc;
          GetWindowRect (&rc);
          // Increase the height of the CPropertySheet by 30
          rc.bottom += 30;
          // Resize the CPropertySheet
          MoveWindow (rc.left, rc.top, rc.right-rc.left, rc.bottom-rc.top);
          // Convert to client coordinates
          ScreenToClient (&rc);
          // m_Button is of type CButton and is a member of CMySheet
          m_Button.Create ("&MyButton", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP,
                              CRect (5, rc.bottom-30, 80, rc.bottom-5),
                              this, IDC_MYBUTTON);

          return TRUE;
}

// Handler for button click of IDC_MYBUTTON
void CMySheet::OnMyButton ()
{
          AfxMessageBox ("MyButton was clicked!");
}
