Perfect, the idiom you use is definitely more elegant :) glad I learned something new today. As for the deadlock, I'm quite sure why it happens (the "pump" that does the Invoke requests doesn't get called as the whole thread is stuck waiting in the first place), no problems there. thanks a lot for your time! ;)

Hi... Forget about MSXML... Use CMarkup Class given in codeproject to deal with XML.. that's better & easy.. OK! Good Bye Never consider anything Impossible before trying to solve that..---Sumit Kapoor--- sumit_kapoor1980@hotmail.com

ofcourse it is possible. to the best of my knowledge everything is possible. click the "Project" menu then choose Settings. In the "General" tab you will see that you project isn't currrently using MFC. You can choose to use MFC in a static LIBRARY or in a DLL. I f you choose to have it in a library you'll have to include these files in stdafx.h : #include // MFC core and standard components #include // MFC extensions #include // MFC Automation classes #include // MFC support for Internet Explorer 4 #include #include // MFC support for Windows Common I haven't used MFC in a dll and I don't know if you have to include them there but i know that you won't have to carry all those DLL's if you want to check your app on a computer without VC++ installed gabby

try and take a look at AddFontFile(...) which maps to GdipPrivateAddFontFile(...) in GDI+. Do a search on MSDN for the functions i mentioned or try "Font Functions" in the search box. DarkByte

If GetScrollBar() is retuning the index of the top most item in the list...multiply this number by the height of each individual item. This value I think can be retreived via CListCtrl::GetItemRect() That calculation will return scroll position in pixels...i think...

Check what GetDeviceCaps( hTempDC, PLANES ) and GetDeviceCaps( hTempDC, BITSPIXEL ) are returning. I suspect GetDeviceCaps( hTempDC, BITSPIXEL ) is not 8 or greater which is required for a color image. If you want a 256 color image then use 8 otherwise use 24. Todd Smith
