Hi, thanks for your reply, Try HDC hdc = CreateDC(TEXT("DISPLAY"),NULL,NULL,NULL) instead but as you said this capture whole screen with all windows - I do not need this. What I need is screen backgroud without any windows. Because I need copy a part of screen backgroud to my window. I know SystemParametersInfo function. It gives me the name of wallpaper only.

But if I hit F5 and the desktop is active - the text is normal. Can you give me a hind, what I am doing wrong? This happens if you have a wrong font selected into your dc (the one used for hdc). Also make sure the font object has a valid life time. Nibu babu thomas Microsoft MVP for VC++ Code must be written to be read, not by the compiler, but by another human being.

I use spy++, but when I hit win+D there is no message for my dialog(nothing about minimizing). _Superman_ wrote Win+D does not mean minimize. It means show desktop. maybe that is the reason why I can not capture the proper message.

SendDlgItemMessage(hDlg,IDC_LOGO, STM_SETIMAGE,(WPARAM)IMAGE_BITMAP,(LPARAM) LoadIcon(ghInstance,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_ICON1))); I see nothing; GetLasterror returns - The specified resource type cannot be found in the image file. But this icon - IDI_ICON1 is there because I use it as icon for exe file and for title bar. I am giving up. Thanks for you time.

Thaks for reply, WM_SHOWWINDOW WPARAM wParam LPARAM lParam; Parameters wParam Specifies whether a window is being shown. If wParam is TRUE, the window is being shown. If wParam is FALSE, the window is being hidden. lParam is still 0 when I capture WM_SHOWWINDOW so wParam is always 1 -the window is being shown. My function always runs first. Then I see the window. This function takes a time - 10sec, that is reason why I need to see the window first. WM_SHOWWINDOW message is called only once. I think it is not possible to do that.

I load a dialog from resource onto a WTL tab control. My dialog is: IDD_STACKERSTATUS DIALOGEX 0, 0, 589, 442 STYLE DS_SETFONT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE EXSTYLE WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE Loading of the dialog onto a tab I use: m_tabView.Create(m_tPane.m_hWnd, rcDefault, NULL, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_CLIPCHILDREN, WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE); /// Create <n> dialog based windows to use as tabbed views m_StackerStatusDlg.Create(m_tabView.m_hWnd,rcDefault, NULL); /// Add the dialog based windows to the tab controls list (seems like a map with name/window pairs) m_tabView.AddPage(m_StackerStatusDlg.m_hWnd, _T("Stacker Drive")); Hope this is of some help.

Glad to help you :) Giorgi Dalakishvili #region signature My Articles Asynchronous Registry Notification Using Strongly-typed WMI Classes in .NET [^] My blog #endregion

You are right. I forgot declare it as a static function. It's working. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

It's working. Thank you.

Thank you all for replay, This piece of code solves my problem. HANDLE hToken; LUID seDebug; TOKEN_PRIVILEGES tkp; OpenProcessToken( GetCurrentProcess(),TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES |TOKEN_QUERY, &hToken ); LookupPrivilegeValue( NULL, SE_DEBUG_NAME, &seDebug ); tkp.PrivilegeCount = 1; tkp.Privileges[0].Luid = seDebug; tkp.Privileges[0].Attributes = SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED; AdjustTokenPrivileges( hToken, FALSE, &tkp, sizeof tkp, NULL, NULL ); CloseHandle( hToken ); I have to find out what it exactly does. Thanks.

I agree. I had the same problem with my laptop sound card. Neither WMI nor the registry contained any useful information at all, except the trade name and manufacturer of the device. I happened to run into this article: What Every Programmer Should Know About Memory[^], it might give you some ideas (although it just concerns memory hardware).

Thaks all for your help. I am so stupid. I forgot include "windows.h" after that it is working. Thanks. Regards, Daavena.

I will try it. Thank you for your help.

Did you need to this code? DWORD m_Return=GetModuleFileNameEx(hProcess, hModuleHandle, str1, sizeof(str1) );

I am so stupid. I have been looking for asolution a couple of hours. I just added reference into both projects and it works. Thanks.

Yeah, with pointers, unsafe code is a given. You haven't answered anyones questions about what you're trying to do with this. There is no such thing as "deleting" with a pointer in C#.
