C / C++ / MFC

Hi I tried to put the same program in Win8.0 and it works without the need to sign-up WINIO. I would like to know what is the different between Win8 and 8.1? Thanks

Just in case anyone else wants to do this, I can't for the life of me work out how to left align the menu item, so I created a custom button and overrode the OnDraw method.

Trying things is the best way to learn.

HDC is a handle not an object.... You can use CDC::FromHandle() to get a temporary object for immediate use. Alternatively, you can CDC::Attach() to keep a more permanent CDC object around. You should make sure you release a device context (DC) when you're done using it (FromHandle sort of automatically handles this situation by going out of scope). If you have CWnds, you can also get a pointer to an existing CDC with CWnd::GetDC(). There is a lot of info on drawing in GDI online, I suggest you read up on it.

Thank you so much for your attention Jochen ! In the real situation, I used an CGridCtrl, and this control has CGridCtrl::OnDraw to drawing itself ... but there is no difference between this kind of control or CListCtrl, or CListBox ... I had tried to change the color of the scrollbars of these last ones and I didn't succeded ... After all, CGridCtrl is derived from CWnd, so is the same matter ... Should be a chance to move that code on some handler that is called after the system is redrawing the scrollbars ? ... who knows ... I should dig in ...

I can only assume that something has been corrupted somewhere. But as I said before, it's impossible to guess what. Your only chance is to collect all the information that you can, and report it to Microsoft.

If target started with contents "abcdefghi" and the function returned "XYZ" then target would contain "abcdXYZhi" I am pretty sure this will not work. Could you please elaborate (detailing exactly what are the inputs and what should be the output)? I didn't get you. bkelly13 wrote: I read that CString is a Microsoft creation so I think I would prefer something else. The underlying operative system is a Microsoft creation too. CString is just fine. You could also use, if you like, std::wstring.

Many thanks. I'll give it a try.

This isn't bugzilla! ;P

Yes, I saw that article, but there is a solution to customize the scrollbars controls (stand alone scrollbars, CScrollbar control, I mean), or, in my situation, the grid control has it's own scrollbars ... I don't know how to customize the control scrollbars ... if I well understanding ... Later edit: Yes, I could use your solution, but for that I should hide the grid control scrollbars, put these ones, and sincronize the grid and the scrollbar control ... but I guess on this road, I'll meet another problems ... and I think it the longest road ...
