What's so hard about it? :rolleyes: delegated responsibility: There's always someone else responsible for that.

If they use wood, someone will make sure they don't run out of trees." decoupled structures: Even if you know how the responsibilities are laid out, there is neither influence nor feedback. "It's their job, so they will know best how it's done - and it's not my job to ask, or to tell them" It's not that the world would be all joy and laughter when only relying on small, local business. But large corporations promote above thinking (which people - me included - are only to ready to fall for), and takre out valuable feedback.

Well, that sucks, but thanks anyways. The ideas I had were trying to handle VK_OFF in a OnKeyDown or similar. Or hoping that a WM_POWERBROADCAST-type message is sent. When I was playing around, it didn't seem like either of this methods worked, but when it comes to CE, I'm never sure. :( The kindest thing you can do for a stupid person, and for the gene pool, is to let him expire of his own dumb choices.

Crap!! I swear to god I ran into this, using GCC (I think it was the 2.9x series) but I just tried it (using GCC 3.2) and it works perfectly! My apologies to all! Sorry :) ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire! Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)!

If you look into eVC's help file, go to 'Microsoft Windows CE / User Interface Services / Creating Controls / Working with Common Controls'. Read the entries on 'Creating a Command Bar' and 'Creating a ToolBar'. You will see that these controls may accept bitmaps, text, or both.

I had a sweet custom add-in wizard for VS6, then they came out with the new API in VS.NET. I tried to copy it over, but damned if I could. JScript here and there in my face. Oh well.

In winamp when the title bar is changing it is pulling bitmaps from either the default skin or from zip files containing the other skins (if you rename a skin file to .zip it will be unzippable). Same goes for the buttons and the rest of the graphics in winamp. I'm not sure what is done programatically to get them to draw over, but a few of the things mentioned looked like it could work. I had a little fun doing a skin for winamp once so I learned about how they change the image. :) I hope that helps some. Quinn
