PRB: ClassWizard Doesn't Support Property Change Notifications (146446)

RESOLUTION

1. Place the Circ3 control in the main dialog template of the container application.
2. Add an event sink map manually to the control container as follows:
   
   
   1. In the .h file of your Main Dialog class, add a DECLARE_EVENTSINK_MAP() macro inside the AFX_MSG section.
   2. In the .cpp file of your Main Dialog Class, add the following:

            BEGIN_EVENTSINK_MAP(COleCntrDlg, CDialog)
              //{{AFX_EVENTSINK_MAP(COleCntrDlg)
              //}}AFX_EVENTSINK_MAP
            END_EVENTSINK_MAP()
      									

      In the this event sink map, COleCntrDlg is the name of your main dialog class.
3. Add the following two functions to the protected section in the .h file of your Main Dialog Class:

      BOOL CaptionRequest(BOOL *pChange);
      BOOL CaptionChanged(void);
   							

4. Add the following ON_PROPNOTIFY macro outside of the AFX_EVENTSINK_MAP comments section in the event sink map:

      ON_PROPNOTIFY(COleCntrDlg, IDC_CIRC3CTRL1, DISPID_CAPTION,
                     CaptionRequest, CaptionChanged )
   							

   In this macro, IDC_CIRC3CTRL1 is the ID of the Circ3 control. Please refer to the ON_PROPNOTIFY documentation for the syntax of the macro and its parameters. The documentation incorrectly states that the changed notification function should take a UINT parameter. However, the property changed notification function takes VOID as its only parameter.
5. Add the following implementations for CaptionRequest and CaptionChanged in the .cpp file of your Main Dialog Class:

      // Property Change Notifications
      BOOL COleCntrDlg::CaptionRequest(BOOL *pChange)
      {
          // Perform customized processing here
          AfxMessageBox("IPropertyNotifySink::OnRequestEdit called");
   
          // Return TRUE to allow the property to change, else return
          // FALSE
          *pChange = TRUE;
          return TRUE;    // Notification handled
      }
   
      BOOL COleCntrDlg::CaptionChanged(void)
      {
          // Perform customized processing here
          AfxMessageBox("IPropertyNotifySink::OnChanged called");
   
          return TRUE;    // Notification handled
      }
