Yes it appears that being anti-microsoft has progressed to the point where it is an ideology.

Now don't get me wrong, I got nothing against the Mac, even have some interest in getting a used G4 so I can try out OS X. I just love it when people bitch and moan about Windows and state that Linux is better than Win95. But if you compare the crap that Linux was at the time Win95 was writtent it's a completely different story. I was watching TechTV (or LinuxRulesTv ) and they had a BSD vs. Linux shootout. The host was talking about how insecure Windows is and they asked the Linux representative to talk about Linux and he said something to the effect, that if you keep your Linux box patched you won't have any problems. I nearly fell out of my chair laughing my ass off. No shit Sherlock. How long did you have to think about that one?

Try the Mustek V2000 (I think). About £70 GBP, or Mobileshop.com were giving them away free with Vodaphone mobiles a while back. Only really of use if in the UK tho.... "Now I guess I'll sit back and watch people misinterpret what I just said......" Christian Graus At The Soapbox

Yep, I'm convinced ModifyStyle() doesn't work after the control has been created. I just found this article talking about Listboxes, http://www.codeproject.com/combobox/listbox_tut.asp[^] ... Changing List box Styles at Runtime It is not possible to change these styles at runtime even though ModifyStyle() may give the impression it does. If you want turn the Sort style on and off for example it is best to construct the List box by calling new and Create then deleting it and creating a new one when the style is to be changed. Alternatively you can have 2 List box superimposed and hide the one with the incorrect style. I already thought about overlapping two controls, but I have about 10 in my dialog and at the time it seemed messy in the dialog template. Looks like that's what I'll do. thanks for your help!

Thanks. I have very little free time at the moment... John

Thanks, that fixed it (with backslashes appropriately escaped, "c:\\flash\\sample.swf"). I had previously tried ".\\sample.swf" to force it to read from the current directory, but that didn't work. So perhaps the full path is always required by Flash.ocx !? cheers! Andrew

Use inet_addr and gethostbyaddr. Example: int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { WSADATA d; WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2,2), &d); char szIP[] = "1.2.3.4"; long ip = inet\_addr(szIP); HOSTENT \*pHostent = gethostbyaddr((char\*)&ip,4,AF\_INET); if (pHostent) { printf("%s is %s", szIP, pHostent->h\_name); } return 0; }

Post any programming questions in Programming Forums or If it's general question (like yours) then post in Lounge.

I get that exact same thing on my system at home (P3 600Mhz), but I never get it at work (P4 2Ghz). I just assumed it's a timeout condition trying to load help that first time. Because like you said, if you just hit the F1 again, it works and continues working until you shutdown the IDE and relaunch it. Drives me nuts though. Ron Ward
