Protected Methods

Name Description
CMFCTasksPane::OnActivateTasksPanePage Called by the framework when a new task pane page is activated.

Remarks

The CMFCTasksPane class implements the following functionality:

  • Items can be grouped and each item grouping can have an associated caption.

  • Item groupings can be collapsed or expanded.

  • An icon can be assigned to each item in the task pane.

  • Individual items can be associated with a command ID which executes when a user clicks the item. When the click occurs, the WM_COMMAND message is sent to the owner of the task pane control.

To use the CMFCTasksPane control in your application, follow these steps:

  1. Embed a CMFCTasksPane object into the main frame window class.

  2. When processing the WM_CREATE message, call the Create method. You can use the regular CControlBar styles. For more information, see CControlBar::Create.

  3. Call the CMFCTasksPane::AddGroup method to add various groups.

  4. Call the CMFCTasksPane::AddTask, CMFCTasksPane::AddLabel or CMFCTasksPane::AddMRUFilesList member functions to add new items (tasks) to each group.

  5. Call CMFCTasksPane::EnableGroupCollapse to specify whether item groups can collapse.

The following illustration shows a typical task pane control. The first group is a special group and its caption is a darker color. The third group is collapsed. The last group is aligned to the bottom of the task pane and has no caption, and the last task in the group is a simple label:

Example of Task Pane

You can customize the appearance of the task pane by adjusting various margins and offsets. The following illustration clarifies the meaning of these variables:

Custom task group

Example

The following example demonstrates how to construct a CMFCTasksPane object and use various methods in the CMFCTasksPane class. The example shows how to enable the collapsing of task groups, enable the drop-down menus on the Next and Previous navigation buttons, enable the scroll buttons instead of a scroll bar, enable the word wrapping for the text in labels, set the caption name of the task pane, set the text color for a group caption, and set the horizontal and vertical margins.

   CMFCTasksPane* tPane = new CMFCTasksPane();
    tPane->EnableGroupCollapse(true);
    tPane->EnableHistoryMenuButtons(true);
    tPane->EnableScrollButtons(true);
    tPane->EnableWrapLabels(true);
    tPane->SetCaption(_T("Task Pane"));
    tPane->SetGroupTextColor(0,RGB(0,0,128));
    tPane->SetHorzMargin(15);
    tPane->SetVertMargin(15);
    tPane->Update();

CMFCTasksPane::AddGroup

Adds a new group of tasks to the task pane control.

int AddGroup(
    int nPageIdx,  
    LPCTSTR lpszGroupName,  
    BOOL bBottomLocation = FALSE,  
    BOOL bSpecial = FALSE,  
    HICON hIcon = NULL);

 
int AddGroup(
    LPCTSTR lpszGroupName,  
    BOOL bBottomLocation = FALSE,  
    BOOL bSpecial = FALSE,  
    HICON hIcon = NULL);

Parameters

[in] nPageIdx
Specifies the zero-based page index.

[in] lpszGroupName
Specifies the group name.

[in] bBottomLocation
TRUE to create the group at the bottom of the task pane control; otherwise, FALSE.

[in] bSpecial
TRUE to mark this group as a special group; otherwise, FALSE. For more information about special groups, see the Remarks section of CMFCTasksPane Class.

[in] hIcon
Specifies the icon to display in the group caption.

Return Value

The zero-based index of the group in the internal list of groups that the class maintains.

Remarks

Call this method to create a group of tasks and to add that group to the task pane control.

The framework displays task groups at the top of the task pane control or at the bottom. The framework can display only one group at the bottom; this group must be added last.

CMFCTasksPane::AddLabel

Adds a label to the specified task group.

int AddLabel(
    int nGroup,  
    LPCTSTR lpszLabelName,  
    int nTaskIcon = -1,

Parameters

[in] nGroup
Specifies the index of the group where the label is added.

[in] lpszLabelName
Specifies the name of the label.

[in] nTaskIcon
Specifies the icon to display next to the label. The framework stores icons in a list of images. This parameter is an index into that list.

[in] bIsBold
TRUE to display the label in bold text; otherwise, FALSE.

Return Value

The zero-based index of the group where the label was added, or -1 if the group specified by nGroup does not exist.

Remarks

The framework handles tasks and labels differently. When a user clicks on a task, the framework executes a command. When a user clicks on a label, no command is executed. For more information, see CMFCTasksPane::AddTask.

CMFCTasksPane::AddMRUFilesList
