1/ I doubt it. 2/ How long is this menu appearing for? Yikes... 3/ If there was an answer, how long before your competitor says "Can I make my tooltip system modal, so no menu appears on top of it?" Point 2 is the main one - a menu is a temporary thing. If you *really* want to do your thing, make a window with lines of text that disappears when you click on one. You don't have to actually use the menu functionality of windows. It will be more work, but tough. You want something way aways from the norm, you have to do it manually. Iain.

Did you display the popup menu the way it is suggested here[^]? I mean this: SetForegroundWindow(hDlg); // Display the menu TrackPopupMenu( hSubMenu, TPM_RIGHTBUTTON, pt.x, pt.y, 0, hDlg, NULL); PostMessage(hDlg, WM_NULL, 0, 0); I know this seems unrelated to the drawing part but who knows... > The problem with computers is that they do what you tell them to do and not what you want them to do. < > Sometimes you just have to hate coding to do it well. <

Try to use the Standard User Analyzer[^] tool. Part of the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit[^].

Oopt! where is your codes that generated these error ?

I had asked to remove iostream.h include, and put <iostream> instead. Try that out. The other possibility is you are not able to link with msvcprtd.lib. Check whether the path for msvcprtd.lib is included into the project settings. Search for the lib, and make sure the paths are there in include directory. Probably \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\lib \Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\ (SDK Folder) for AMD64. [Delegates]      [Virtual Desktop]      [Tray Me !] -Malli...! :rose:****

If you want to play avi file or even your pictures you can use of MCI functions however you dont need to use of MCI functions for pictures.

You must be sure the corrensponding .dll (please note, not the .lib) file, is in the (Windows) dynamic library search path, see [^]. :) If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.
