Pass a pointer to the object you want to notify in the constructor of the dialog, and have the dialog save that in a member variable. Then when events occur, make a call to that object.

XP set a kind of benchmark, thats why it lasted so long, and later OSs should of course maintain backwards compatability. Clearly they dont in this case, which IMO makes it a bug. ============================== Nothing to say.

Can you give me exmple how to write a messsage handler , I did it only with the class wizard of mfc, and this is the first time I need to add a timer to a class that don't connected to any window, even if I creat a fictive window like dialog box the SetTimer(...) works only if the dialog is opened by DoModal. thanks

Have a look at the below links Tutorial - Modeless Dialogs with MFC[^] Create a modeless dialog box as child window[^]

Ok, the context is now known. In such environment, hardware/software are regulated (by hospital authority) , and you should not have to deal with that, if a monitor needs to always be turned-on, then the admin will change the "power settings" to no go into power-saving mode (and probably the screen saver will be disabled for normal users). IMO, there should also be other means of communicating to the nurses (pagers, ... ). M. Watched code never compiles.

Thanks now its obvious why it didnt work.

This is not the default behavior of a listbox. What setting(s) have you changed?

I just had what might be a similar problem, though it was just the horizontal scrollbar giving me trouble. I had to call SetHorizontalExtent, giving it the widest thing in the list in pixels. Try calling that and see if it helps at least with the horizontal scrollbar.

thank you very much its solved my problem

Please see the usage of the field ProcessEntry32.szExeFile in the second function above :) virtual void BeHappy() = 0;

I found an article from the legendary Mark Russinovich: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.06.uac.aspx which is really worth reading and understanding. Believe me investing one or two hours to understand it is good invested time. You wont regret it, thats how Windows works. Or this one http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vista-security/UAC\_\_The\_Definitive\_Guide.aspx in which I found the link. Press F1 for help or google it. Greetings from Germany

Thank you!
