You are welcome.

Thanks it worked

Thanks, I believe you are saying, in a different way , what I concluded. Each source (.cpp) is being compiled interdependently therefore HAS to have all of the "parameters" In my case #define DEBUG use namespace std; and #include (there is another discussion about using namesapce std and cout). I did added -v for verbose output from both compiler and linker and with little patience ( few lines of output ) I can see both processes. Appreciate all who participated in discussion of actually very fundamental process as comping and linking. Thanks everybody. Cheers Vaclav

I would suggest that as a "newbee" to C++ that you should just consider the answer to this question to be 'magic'. The specifics of how this works this way and why it works is quite complicated and requires not only that you understand quite a bit of basic C++ but also that you understand a bit more about how programming works. After that then you can go back and look at this yourself and it should then your answer should be immediately clear.

You are welcome.

Thanks It worked

Just to extend the reply of Graham Breach: move the union USendLive { struct SSend { float fTestValue1; float fTestValue2; char cChr; }S; unsigned char Buffer[LIVEUNISIZE]; }UNI; to the CSendValue class ctor to make the UNI a class member. Then your CSendValue :: SendLiveValues() would look like unsigned char* CSendValue :: SendLiveValues() { float fLocalValue; float fTest; fTest = 190.000015f; fLocalValue = fTest; UNI.S.cChr = 'c'; UNI.S.fTestValue1 = fTest; UNI.S.fTestValue2 = 190.000015f; return UNI.Buffer; }

Of course your code must first compile. Then you could make a simple executable just for testing it, i.e. stressing the class features by fully using its public interface.

thanks lfHeight Value Meaning > 0 The font mapper transforms this value into device units and matches it against the cell height of the available fonts. 0 The font mapper uses a default height value when it searches for a match. < 0 The font mapper transforms this value into device units and matches its absolute value against the character height of the available fonts. Not quite sure what the above means but my question is the units sepcfied on the Crect parm of CStatic:Create the same as the units for lfHeight and lfWidth so if the width of my static control is 20 and I specify 3 for lfWidth and I have 5 characters the would = 15 units Thanks

You are welcome! :)

this is what i understand of does it look right / match what the site gives ? if error's : where / what else i have NO experiance whit a QC how to use my c++ stuf whit a example from the ibm site ?

As you know I only play with MFC limited but the windows api GetWindowText will return the text from a static window to a buffer. It will be in unicode or ansi depending on app and you deal with it as required. In vino veritas

Also, if this is all new to you then you would do well to study some tutorials on Windows programming. Here are two that are very useful: EFNet #Winprog[^] Win32 Programming - FunctionX[^]

Yeah, at first it did not work, but for some reason it works as expected. I'd rather be phishing!
