Also WM_PAINT is not good, it happens during the drawing of every control.

I tried WM_INITDIALOG, but it happens before the dialog has finished drawing itself, so the message doesn't appear.

Hi I want to make a loading message box which disappears once the loading was finished. In order to do that I decided to use the function DialogBox in order to create a modal dialog, however, I couldn't find a message that indicates that dialog has finished drawing itself. I want to start the loading sequence right after the dialog and the message of "loading" appears on the dialog. Any suggestions ? I would like to use a dialog in order to easily make a nice loading message. Thanks a lot, Clint

There is the login dll of windows GinaDLL.dll In this DLL there is a function that opens a dialog box for entering the login username and password. I want to use the functionallity of this DLL and not override the whole DLL. I want to know when the user is typing in the username edit box and when he is typing in the password edit box. Since this is an external dll, I can't use the DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP, BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP and END_MESSAGE_MAP macros.

Hello I am working with MFC. I am loading an external DLL using LoadLibrary and call a function within this DLL. This function opens a dialog box and this dialog box has several controls. I have the HWND and ids of the dialog box and controls. I want to register to the getFocus event of one of the controls (On runtime). I was looking for a long time and couldn't find any helpful function or example, could any one help ?

Hi I want to access files which are on a network share in another server. When I try to access (manually, not through C#) the other server I get the window of username and password and I can access the files. I want through C# to read the files which are in this share and to specify within C# the username and password for accessing the share. Any ideas ? Clint

Hello I want to work with files unmanaged. I've been using fstream for file i/o but the problem is that if the file is greater than the maximum value of long I am not able to seek within it since the offset in the seek command doesn't accept values greater than long. Is there any other way I should work with files ? (unmanaged, not using system.dll) Clint

well, I write bytes into a file, I seek to the end of the file and call (tellp or tellg) after flushing the stream, and get 2 as an answer. But if I close the file, I see that the size of the file is 188. So I expect that the answer would be 188. Clint

Hi I've used files long time ago in C++. I guess there is a certain new convention for using files in Visual C++ 2005, I am using the class fstream with binary files and I don't get the right file position when using tellp and tellg. Is there any new class which I should use or any other method ? I want still to work unmanaged not using the functions of system.dll which are used in .NET. Thanks, Clint

Hello I have a computer with sql server 2000 and sql server 2005. for some reason the instance of sql server 2005 is not published in the network appropriately.

Does any one know what are all the options for registering the sqlserver instance ? Clint

Hey Thanks for helping. I don't think that is the problem. Can you see any other reason ? I think that the server which I am trying to copy to has an older sqlserver 2005. How can I do the copying ? Clint

Hello I am using Sql Server 2005. I have two different servers. I was trying to use the wizard of Copy Database in order to copy a DB from one server to the other. After arriving to the last stage where the copying process starts, I get an error in the field of Execute SQL Server Agent JOB : The job failed. Check the event log on the destination server for details. and on the destination server in the event log I get the message : Package "CDW_DT-A1_MLS09_1" failed. where DT-A1 is the source server and MLS09 is the second server. Anyone has ideas how to overcome this problem ? Thanks, Clint
