I think, in general, you can make an article describing how to do what you did and post the code as an example of the implementation. (even with mfc dialogs and rest, just should be compilable). I admire the amount of work being probably behind your code. Therefore if I could recommend you something, focus on writing a documentation and let the sources as they are. I think even than your article will be valuable source of information. The idea behind is, that if anyone is interested, he can learn how to do it and then either reuse parts of your code, or if he wants he can write it at his own, but in any case it will save him a lot of time, because he will have the documentation (and possible related links) at one place (and the sources are some kind of bonus). I think, that you will agree with me, that just put together all links and materials to the subjects you implemented is a huge task. I personally prefer articles with well described idea, how to achieve something (as I am being dumb sometimes, I need quite detailed description :-) ). Then some source code with some sort of implementation is a Good Thing(TM).

The compiler is telling you it needs a pointer to an object, not an actual object. Try calling the fucntion like this: CRobot robot; ... SomeFunction(&robot); // pass pointer to object, not actual abject Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 Were you different as a kid?

I know under 5.5 there was a routing add-in sample that implemented this kind of functionality. It was pretty basic though. You would be best writing this server-side rather than using client side functionality or writing it client side using POP3 and SMTP so it can be used with any mailserver but I would keep away from writing client side MAPI to do this.

Luke, If you haven't you should serious look at VMWare http://www.vmware.com/[^]. You can set up virtual machines running whatever OS you want and set all the memory and disk size settings to your hearts content for testing. And in the new version you can take a snapshot before you install your app or configure it or whatever and rollback to that point for some really rapid testing without having to reinstall :)

Do what most programmers do then. Write something that will solve a problem that interests you. Then publish an article about it. The more you program the more you learn. You'll be creating something you can use. You will be publishing it so someone else can learn. When someone asks for references, you can not only point to the many applications and types of applications you have written, but you can say you have been published. Now for real work. I suggest you start talking to your parents, your friends, your friends parents. Anyone you can find that you think might be able to help. Ask them if they know of a company and better yet a manager in the company that would be willing to give you an internship. Usually these are unpaid, but the benefits far outweight the pay if you have no experience. You might also contact your local charities. Depending on the type of charity they may let you volunteer and help out. Hope that gives you some ideas. Your best chance is to get a personal reference though. Take a browse through the many articles on this site and I am sure you can find some ideas for what to write on your own time just for fun. Here is something to strive for. Write a distributed game engine that will allow unlimited participants to live in a virtual world. Ok, maybe that is a bit much to start out with.

Thank you so much. :rose: But I've got it done by a professional graphics designer now. But thanks again. :) Regards, Rohit Sinha Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person. - Mother Teresa

Lol, you're in for it now. :laugh: Just drop a short note over to the admins (use the Forum problems or suggestions? link at the top of the page) and point this out, they'll clean it up when they get a chance. David Wulff What the hell did I ever do to anyone?

HELLO!!! i can help you, send you program and i will test I Like my pc! :zzz:

The final version is out now. Thanks to all who tested my app. -Dominik _outp(0x64, 0xAD); and __asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, al do the same... but what do they do?? ;)

OK. Just did it myself. Runners live two years longer. But those two years they spend running.

damn, I thought I fixed that. It is supposed to goto ms website if Genie is not installed locally, thanks. Chris Meech wrote: Visions of Robin Williams :rolleyes::-D Later, JoeSox www.joeswammi.com Killing In The Name[^]

Thanks for the heads up, but I'll be pulling the site in a few days anyway just as soon as I can finish the new one for bttlxeForum. The company itself is now non-trading, but I'll keep the domain on for e-mail and the forum software. David Wulff "David Wulff can't live without me, so you shouldn't either" - Paul Watson
