2 not so simple questions

[Nemok]

1. How can I drag my dialog when draging over a certain portion of the dialog??? When I'm using: UINT CNBinderDlg::OnNcHitTest(CPoint point) { UINT ret = CDialog::OnNcHitTest(point); if(ret == HTCLIENT) { return HTCAPTION; } return ret; } I can drag the window by draging anywhere in the window. 2. Is it posible to hide or lock a directory, not only in explorer(with ".{2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}") but in other file managers like TotalCommander too??? Thanx!:confused:

1. Easily. As you can see in the WM_NCHITTEST message handler, you receive a CPoint object that specifies the point, in screen coordinates, where the hit test was made. If you first use ScreenToClient function to convert the CPoint into client coordinates then you can compare the coordinates to a pre-made list of where the function should return HTCAPTION. Everywhere where HTCAPTION is returned, the dialog becomes draggable. Thus, if, for example, the x-coordinate of the CPoint is smaller than a half of the dialog's width, then you return HTCLIENT. Otherwise you return HTCAPTION. As a result, when you click and hold on the right-most half of your dialog, it can be dragged. 2. Some advanced file managers by-pass the security settings placed in the registry. To go around this, you could try the _access and _waccess functions of the Run-Time C Library. Not sure if they work though... -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible.

you are right DavidCrow. _access and _waccess are get functions. I wan't set functions that hides (locks) folders no matter on what account you are, including administrator. Any ideas anybody?

I do not know how to do it programmatically.
