PRB: No ANSI Notifications from Control Created in OnCreate (148533)

RESOLUTION

• Don't create the control in the WM_CREATE handler. If the control is created at a later point, this problem won't occur. For a CDialog- derived class, create the control in the OnInitDialog function. For a CFormView-derived class, create the control in the OnInitialUpdate function.
  
  -or-
• Handle the WM_NOTIFYFORMAT message in the CDialog- or CFormView-derived class and respond with the NFR_ANSI code. The WM_NOTIFYFORMAT message is not available in ClassWizard, so you'll need to manually enter the ON_MESSAGE macro for the message as follows:

        BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMyDialog, CDialog)
            //{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CMyDialog)
            ... message map entries created by classwizard
            //}}AFX_MSG_MAP
            ... other manually created message map entries
            ON_MESSAGE(WM_NOTIFYFORMAT, OnNotifyFormat) // ADD THIS LINE
        END_MESSAGE_MAP()
  						

  Add the prototype for this function to the class definition:

        class CMyDialog : public CDialog
        {
            ... other class members
        protected:
            afx_msg LRESULT OnNotifyFormat(WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam);
        };
  						

  For more information on how to do this, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: ARTICLE-ID: Q99848 TITLE : Use ON_MESSAGE() Macro to Map Less-Common Messages The OnNotifyFormat function should be implemented as follows:

        LRESULT CMyDialog::OnNotifyFormat(WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam)
        {
          #ifdef _UNICODE
            return NFR_UNICODE;
          #else
            return NFR_ANSI;
          #endif
       }
