Hi Steve and Mike Thanks a lot !! I think i roughly get the idea already ! bk

Hi Mike, Thank you. But i still have some doubts to clarify: BOOL BOAPI ShowMessage (int, int) is a function. So when u need to call the function, u would do a normal ShowMessage (1,2) rite ? But when you call the function am i rite to say that a BOAPI macro would run first follow by the ShowMessage function ? If not, when would the BOAPI macro runs or how is it been used? Sorry for my poor command of the c-language. Please advise. Thank you. bk (btw u are rite abt the # typo and the missing * could also be a typo from the original source)

Hi I have some syntax question which is bothering me. Can someone pls explain to me what these codes means or where to find answer to question with regards to syntax ? (I have access to MSDN library but I am still unable to find a satisficatory answer from there) 1. BOOL BOAPI ShowMessage (int, int) what does this function syntax means ?? esp BOAPI is it a data type ? something to do with dll convention ?? 2. #typedef bool (TYPEOF_InitP) (int *a); what does this syntax means ?? does it mean let TYPEOF_InitP be a function that return bool and take in 1 int variable ?? PLease advise. Thank you !! bk

Hi , I have a question here regarding how to use C to restart the PC. situation: I am using win2000 but however I would like to bootup using a win98 floppy disk to verify my systems settings. after checking I would like the PC to reboot so that it can boot from the HD into win2000.

Hi I have a simple problem regarding toolbars here. When we create a new SDI project, the codes for the standard toolbar is there. The toolbar will appear and disappear gracefully when we check the function inside the menu. But when i add a new toolbar, how do i make it appear and disappear gracefully ?? I try to use the "ShowWindow(SW_HIDE)" but the ugly gray patch is still there! Thanx you for ur kind attention !! bk

icic ... i got one .... but i must say they are a tough read !:confused: anyway really thanx a lot !! Have a good day ! bk

Hi Anna, Thanx a lot !!:-O Btw when i delete away some of the bitmap resources in my project this prob disappear ! So it seems to me there is a limit... :omg: (I noe it sounds absurb as i think vc can cater for big projs!) I am pretty new in VC and in currently in a rush to complete a proj. So i am not really familiar with all the codings and hence more than often had to rely on ClassWizard. I am not sure of how to write those codes to associate a class with a dialog box and some of the codes to add a variable to a control. Perhaps if u are free can give me a advise or two ! I really appreciate it very much. Thanx you !! bk

Hi Like to find out if there is a limit to the amount of dialog boxes ,controls items and classes i can put inside a SDI project ?? Because i keep getting the "out of memory" msg when i try to use the class wizards !! PLease advice !! Thank you bk

Hi, I have a very strange and frustrating SDI problem. I have created a SDI project dealing with image display. When i create a new dialog resources and try to use the class wizard (to assign variables to the controls) , a "Out of memory.Unable to complete command" error msg would occur. Worse still after this time occur, my workspace files seems to be corrupted and i am unable to open my workspace !!! and i would have to redo everything !! I am currently using VC 6. Anyone can tell me what happen and how can i solve this problem ?? Thank you for your kind attention !! bk

Hi trustnol, firstly thanx a lot for your help ... I am quite new in C++ so i am very bad in those object kind of things... therefore i still have some doubts which i like to clarify with u .... 1. constructor is like this ?? CmyDialog dialog (CDocument *pDoc) 2. becos wat calling my dialog is the doc class of my main program ... so do i do pass the "this" pointer over to the dialog constructor ?? CABCdoc::onopen() { Cmydialog efg(this); } is this correct ??? thank you very much for your kind attention !!

Hi I have a prob here as follow: I have a SDI program based on CView. From the program, a dialog box was called. However from the dialog box i need to call the UpdateAllView function (which is found as a based function of CView) to update all Views of my main program. Is it possible to do so ?? When i tried doing it i got a complier error "'CDocument::UpdateAllViews' : illegal call of non-static member function" How can i go abt calling a CView based class function from a dialog based class ?? Thank you !! bk

Hi I am writing a program to process multiple independent datas. This program is very processing intensive. So i am wondering if multi threading would help to reduce the amount of processing time. I have doubts over it because I have only one processor. So wouldn't the time taken for the processing to be the same in multithreading case (or even more due to addition overhead)?? If it helps to cut down the time taken, how does it do it with only one processor?? Can someone please enlighten me ?? Thank you very much for the kind attention !!

Hi rechi, Really thanx a lot ... I guess i made a silly typo without realizing !! You save my day bk
