Public Data Members
Name | Description |
---|---|
CPropertyPage::m_psp | The Windows PROPSHEETPAGE structure. Provides access to basic property page parameters. |
Remarks
As with standard dialog boxes, you derive a class from CPropertyPage
for each page in your property sheet. To use CPropertyPage
-derived objects, first create a CPropertySheet object, and then create an object for each page that goes in the property sheet. Call CPropertySheet::AddPage for each page in the sheet, and then display the property sheet by calling CPropertySheet::DoModal for a modal property sheet, or CPropertySheet::Create for a modeless property sheet.
You can create a type of tab dialog box called a wizard, which consists of a property sheet with a sequence of property pages that guide the user through the steps of an operation, such as setting up a device or creating a newsletter. In a wizard-type tab dialog box, the property pages do not have tabs, and only one property page is visible at a time. Also, instead of having OK and Apply Now buttons, a wizard-type tab dialog box has a Back button, a Next or Finish button, and a Cancel button.
For more information on establishing a property sheet as a wizard, see CPropertySheet::SetWizardMode. For more information on using CPropertyPage
objects, see the article Property Sheets and Property Pages.

CPropertyPage::CancelToClose
Call this function after an unrecoverable change has been made to the data in a page of a modal property sheet.
void CancelToClose();
Remarks
This function will change the OK button to Close and disable the Cancel button. This change alerts the user that a change is permanent and the modifications cannot be cancelled.
The CancelToClose
member function does nothing in a modeless property sheet, because a modeless property sheet does not have a Cancel button by default.
Example
See the example for CPropertyPage::QuerySiblings.
CPropertyPage::Construct
Call this member function to construct a CPropertyPage
object.
void Construct(
UINT nIDTemplate,
UINT nIDCaption = 0);
void Construct(
LPCTSTR lpszTemplateName,
UINT nIDCaption = 0);
void Construct(
UINT nIDTemplate,
UINT nIDCaption,
UINT nIDHeaderTitle,
UINT nIDHeaderSubTitle = 0);
void Construct(
LPCTSTR lpszTemplateName,
UINT nIDCaption,
UINT nIDHeaderTitle,
UINT nIDHeaderSubTitle = 0);
Parameters
nIDTemplate
ID of the template used for this page.
nIDCaption
ID of the name to be placed in the tab for this page. If 0, the name will be taken from the dialog template for this page.
lpszTemplateName
Contains a null-terminated string that is the name of a template resource.
nIDHeaderTitle
ID of the name to be placed in the title location of the property page header. By default, 0.
nIDHeaderSubTitle
ID of the name to be placed in the subtitle location of the property page header. By default, 0.
Remarks
The object is displayed after all of the following conditions are met:
The page has been added to a property sheet using CPropertySheet::AddPage.
The property sheet's DoModal or Create function has been called.
The user has selected (tabbed to) this page.
Call Construct if one of the other class constructors has not been called. The Construct
member function is flexible because you can leave the parameter statement blank and then specify multiple parameters and construction at any point in your code.
You must use Construct
when you work with arrays, and you must call Construct for each member of the array so that the data members are assigned proper values.
Example
// Declare a CPropertySheet object.
CPropertySheet sheet(_T("Simple PropertySheet"));
// Create three CPropertyPage objects whose template IDs are specified
// in rgID array, and add each page to the CPropertySheet object.
const int c_cPages = 3;
CPropertyPage pages[c_cPages];
UINT rgID[c_cPages] = {IDD_STYLE, IDD_COLOR, IDD_SHAPE};
for (int i = 0; i < c_cPages; i++)
{
pages[i].Construct(rgID[i]);
sheet.AddPage(&pages[i]);
}
// Display a modal CPropertySheet dialog.
sheet.DoModal();
CPropertyPage::CPropertyPage
Constructs a CPropertyPage
object.
CPropertyPage();
explicit CPropertyPage(
UINT nIDTemplate,
UINT nIDCaption = 0,
DWORD dwSize = sizeof(PROPSHEETPAGE));
explicit CPropertyPage(
LPCTSTR lpszTemplateName,
UINT nIDCaption = 0,
DWORD dwSize = sizeof(PROPSHEETPAGE));
CPropertyPage(
UINT nIDTemplate,
UINT nIDCaption,
UINT nIDHeaderTitle,
UINT nIDHeaderSubTitle = 0,
DWORD dwSize = sizeof(PROPSHEETPAGE));
CPropertyPage(
LPCTSTR lpszTemplateName,
UINT nIDCaption,
UINT nIDHeaderTitle,
UINT nIDHeaderSubTitle = 0,
DWORD dwSize = sizeof(PROPSHEETPAGE));
Parameters
nIDTemplate
ID of the template used for this page.
nIDCaption
ID of the name to be placed in the tab for this page. If 0, the name will be taken from the dialog template for this page.
dwSize
lpszTemplateName
Points to a string containing the name of the template for this page. Cannot be NULL.
nIDHeaderTitle
ID of the name to be placed in the title location of the property page header.
nIDHeaderSubTitle
ID of the name to be placed in the subtitle location of the property page header.
Remarks
The object is displayed after all of the following conditions are met:
The page has been added to a property sheet using CPropertySheet::AddPage.
The property sheet's DoModal or Create function has been called.
The user has selected (tabbed to) this page.
If you have multiple parameters (for example, if you are using an array), use CPropertySheet::Construct instead of CPropertyPage
.
Example
// Declare a CStylePage object, which is a CPropertyPage-derived class.
CStylePage stylePage;
// Declare a CPropertyPage object with IDD_SHAPE, the ID of the
// template used for this page.
CPropertyPage shapePage(IDD_SHAPE);
CPropertyPage::GetPSP
Retrieves the Windows PROPSHEETPAGE structure associated with the CPropertyPage
object.
const PROPSHEETPAGE& GetPSP() const;
PROPSHEETPAGE& GetPSP();
```
### Return Value
A reference to the **PROPSHEETPAGE** structure.
## <a name="cpropertypage__m_psp"></a> CPropertyPage::m_psp
`m_psp` is a structure whose members store the characteristics of [PROPSHEETPAGE](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/bb774548).
PROPSHEETPAGE m_psp;
### Remarks
Use this structure to initialize the appearance of a property page after it is constructed.
For more information on this structure, including a listing of its members, see **PROPSHEETPAGE** in the [!INCLUDE[winSDK](../Token/winSDK_md.md)].
### Example
[!CODE [NVC_MFCDocView#128](../CodeSnippet/VS_Snippets_Cpp/NVC_MFCDocView#128)]
## <a name="cpropertypage__onapply"></a> CPropertyPage::OnApply
This member function is called by the framework when the user chooses the OK or the Apply Now button.
virtual BOOL OnApply();
### Return Value
Nonzero if the changes are accepted; otherwise 0.
### Remarks
When the framework calls this function, changes made on all property pages in the property sheet are accepted, the property sheet retains focus, and `OnApply` returns **TRUE** (the value 1). Before `OnApply` can be called by the framework, you must have called [SetModified](#cpropertypage__setmodified) and set its parameter to **TRUE**. This will activate the Apply Now button as soon as the user makes a change on the property page.
Override this member function to specify what action your program takes when the user clicks the Apply Now button. When overriding, the function should return **TRUE** to accept changes and **FALSE** to prevent changes from taking effect.
The default implementation of `OnApply` calls `OnOK`.
For more information about notification messages sent when the user presses the Apply Now or OK button in a property sheet, see [PSN_APPLY](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/bb774552) in the [!INCLUDE[winSDK](../Token/winSDK_md.md)].
### Example
See the example for [CPropertyPage::OnOK](#cpropertypage__onok).
## <a name="cpropertypage__oncancel"></a> CPropertyPage::OnCancel
This member function is called by the framework when the Cancel button is selected.
virtual void OnCancel();
### Remarks
Override this member function to perform Cancel button actions. The default negates any changes that have been made.
### Example
[!CODE [NVC_MFCDocView#114](../CodeSnippet/VS_Snippets_Cpp/NVC_MFCDocView#114)]
## <a name="cpropertypage__onkillactive"></a> CPropertyPage::OnKillActive
This member function is called by the framework when the page is no longer the active page.
virtual BOOL OnKillActive();
### Return Value
Nonzero if data was updated successfully, otherwise 0.
### Remarks
Override this member function to perform special data validation tasks.
The default implementation of this member function copies settings from the controls in the property page to the member variables of the property page. If the data was not updated successfully due to a dialog data validation (DDV) error, the page retains focus.
After this member function returns successfully, the framework will call the page's [OnOK](#cpropertypage__onok) function.
### Example
[!CODE [NVC_MFCDocView#115](../CodeSnippet/VS_Snippets_Cpp/NVC_MFCDocView#115)]
## <a name="cpropertypage__onok"></a> CPropertyPage::OnOK
This member function is called by the framework when the user chooses either the OK or the Apply Now button, immediately after the framework calls [OnKillActive](#cpropertypage__onkillactive).
virtual void OnOK();
### Remarks
When the user chooses either the OK or the Apply Now button, the framework receives the [PSN_APPLY](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/bb774552) notification from the property page. The call to `OnOK` won't be made if you call [CPropertySheet::PressButton](../Topic/CPropertySheet%20Class.md#cpropertysheet__pressbutton) because the property page does not send the notification in that case.
Override this member function to implement additional behavior specific to the currently active page when user dismisses the entire property sheet.
The default implementation of this member function marks the page as "clean" to reflect that the data was updated in the `OnKillActive` function.
### Example
[!CODE [NVC_MFCDocView#116](../CodeSnippet/VS_Snippets_Cpp/NVC_MFCDocView#116)]
## <a name="cpropertypage__onquerycancel"></a> CPropertyPage::OnQueryCancel
This member function is called by the framework when the user clicks the Cancel button and before the cancel action has taken place.
virtual BOOL OnQueryCancel();
### Return Value
Returns **FALSE** to prevent the cancel operation or TRUE to allow it.
### Remarks
Override this member function to specify an action the program takes when the user clicks the Cancel button.
The default implementation of `OnQueryCancel` returns **TRUE**.
### Example
[!CODE [NVC_MFCDocView#117](../CodeSnippet/VS_Snippets_Cpp/NVC_MFCDocView#117)]
## <a name="cpropertypage__onreset"></a> CPropertyPage::OnReset
This member function is called by the framework when the user chooses the Cancel button.
virtual void OnReset();
### Remarks
When the framework calls this function, changes to all property pages that were made by the user previously choosing the Apply Now button are discarded, and the property sheet retains focus.
Override this member function to specify what action the program takes when the user clicks the Cancel button.
The default implementation of `OnReset` does nothing.
### Example
See the example for [CPropertyPage::OnCancel](#cpropertypage__oncancel).
## <a name="cpropertypage__onsetactive"></a> CPropertyPage::OnSetActive
This member function is called by the framework when the page is chosen by the user and becomes the active page.
virtual BOOL OnSetActive();
### Return Value
Nonzero if the page was successfully set active; otherwise 0.
### Remarks
Override this member function to perform tasks when a page is activated. Your override of this member function would typically call the default version after updating data members, to allow it to update the page controls with the new data.
The default implementation creates the window for the page, if not previously created, and makes it the active page.
### Example
See the example for [CPropertySheet::SetFinishText](../Topic/CPropertySheet%20Class.md#cpropertysheet__setfinishtext).
## <a name="cpropertypage__onwizardback"></a> CPropertyPage::OnWizardBack
This member function is called by the framework when the user clicks on the Back button in a wizard.
virtual LRESULT OnWizardBack();
### Return Value
0 to automatically advance to the next page; –1 to prevent the page from changing. To jump to a page other than the next one, return the identifier of the dialog to be displayed.
### Remarks
Override this member function to specify some action the user must take when the Back button is pressed.
For more information on how to make a wizard-type property sheet, see [CPropertySheet::SetWizardMode](../Topic/CPropertySheet%20Class.md#cpropertysheet__setwizardmode).
### Example
[!CODE [NVC_MFCDocView#118](../CodeSnippet/VS_Snippets_Cpp/NVC_MFCDocView#118)]
## <a name="cpropertypage__onwizardfinish"></a> CPropertyPage::OnWizardFinish
This member function is called by the framework when the user clicks on the Finish button in a wizard.
virtual BOOL OnWizardFinish();
### Return Value
Nonzero if the property sheet is destroyed when the wizard finishes; otherwise zero.
### Remarks
When a user clicks the **Finish** button in a wizard, the framework calls this function; when `OnWizardFinish` returns **TRUE** (a nonzero value), the property sheet is able to be destroyed (but is not actually destroyed). Call `DestroyWindow` to destroy the property sheet. Do not call `DestroyWindow` from `OnWizardFinish`; doing so will cause heap corruption or other errors.
You can override this member function to specify some action the user must take when the Finish button is pressed. When overriding this function, return **FALSE** to prevent the property sheet from being destroyed.
For more information about notification messages sent when the user presses the Finish button in a wizard property sheet, see [PSN_WIZFINISH](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/bb774571) in the [!INCLUDE[winSDK](../Token/winSDK_md.md)].
For more information on how to make a wizard-type property sheet, see [CPropertySheet::SetWizardMode](../Topic/CPropertySheet%20Class.md#cpropertysheet__setwizardmode).
### Example
[!CODE [NVC_MFCDocView#119](../CodeSnippet/VS_Snippets_Cpp/NVC_MFCDocView#119)]
[!CODE [NVC_MFCDocView#120](../CodeSnippet/VS_Snippets_Cpp/NVC_MFCDocView#120)]
[!CODE [NVC_MFCDocView#121](../CodeSnippet/VS_Snippets_Cpp/NVC_MFCDocView#121)]
[!CODE [NVC_MFCDocView#122](../CodeSnippet/VS_Snippets_Cpp/NVC_MFCDocView#122)]
## <a name="cpropertypage__onwizardnext"></a> CPropertyPage::OnWizardNext
This member function is called by the framework when the user clicks on the Next button in a wizard.
virtual LRESULT OnWizardNext();
### Return Value
0 to automatically advance to the next page; –1 to prevent the page from changing. To jump to a page other than the next one, return the identifier of the dialog to be displayed.
### Remarks
Override this member function to specify some action the user must take when the Next button is pressed.
For more information on how to make a wizard-type property sheet, see [CPropertySheet::SetWizardMode](../Topic/CPropertySheet%20Class.md#cpropertysheet__setwizardmode).
### Example
[!CODE [NVC_MFCDocView#123](../CodeSnippet/VS_Snippets_Cpp/NVC_MFCDocView#123)]
## <a name="cpropertypage__querysiblings"></a> CPropertyPage::QuerySiblings
Call this member function to forward a message to each page in the property sheet.
LRESULT QuerySiblings( WPARAM wParam,
LPARAM lParam);
### Parameters
`wParam`
Specifies additional message-dependent information.
`lParam`
Specifies additional message-dependent information
### Return Value
The nonzero value from a page in the property sheet, or 0 if all pages return a value of 0.
### Remarks
If a page returns a nonzero value, the property sheet does not send the message to subsequent pages.
### Example
[!CODE [NVC_MFCDocView#124](../CodeSnippet/VS_Snippets_Cpp/NVC_MFCDocView#124)]
[!CODE [NVC_MFCDocView#125](../CodeSnippet/VS_Snippets_Cpp/NVC_MFCDocView#125)]
[!CODE [NVC_MFCDocView#126](../CodeSnippet/VS_Snippets_Cpp/NVC_MFCDocView#126)]
## <a name="cpropertypage__setmodified"></a> CPropertyPage::SetModified
Call this member function to enable or disable the Apply Now button, based on whether the settings in the property page should be applied to the appropriate external object.
void SetModified(BOOL bChanged = TRUE);
### Parameters
`bChanged`
**TRUE** to indicate that the property page settings have been modified since the last time they were applied; **FALSE** to indicate that the property page settings have been applied, or should be ignored.
### Remarks
The framework keeps track of which pages are "dirty," that is, property pages for which you have called **SetModified( TRUE )**. The Apply Now button will always be enabled if you call **SetModified( TRUE )** for one of the pages. The Apply Now button will be disabled when you call **SetModified( FALSE )** for one of the pages, but only if none of the other pages is "dirty."
