If you are made for coding, then I doubt you'd be happy as an academic. Development is more of an artistic, expressionistic outlet. Academia is about discovery and knowledge. There are places that straddle the two but they are few. Look hard at what it is that drives you and what you want to do... I like 'em both personally, but haven't seen much compatible mixings...

I'm use WH_GETMESSAGE and WH_SHELL hooks in my program without any strange performance effects. Why do you need to create separate thread? I'm perform needed actions by posting message (PostMessage API) in main window when I plan to do long time action handling (because PostMessage don't stops the thread), and by sending message (SendMessage API) for simple actions. Sorry for wrong English ;-))

I've just bought a Sony Vaio PCG-FX502 (for about £1130) after my old HP Omnibook XE2 (a Celeron 333) finally died after being knocked off the table once too often by our youngest - causing a duff power connector and floppy drive to add to the iffy display it had already! X| The Vaio's seem solidly built, and have a decent spec - mine's a 1GHz Duron with 256MB of RAM, 20GB disk, CD-RW/DVD combi drive, Ethernet, Firewire, blah, blah, blah. It comes with XP Home which has just withstood it's first real nasty test in the shape of Norton Antivirus (I can confirm that System Restore actually works! :omg: ). So far, highly recommended. :D Andy Metcalfe - Sonardyne International Ltd Trouble with resource IDs?

I am currently developing a vertical market commercial program which should be released in the next 60-90 days. It will of course have the .NET on the CD. You can (and your clients can) look at .NET as the latest MDAC or any other updatible componet for Windows. It is nothing more than any other serivce pack as far as the end user is concerned.

Even worse, if they have a dial-up internet connection they aren't going to want to download it. Maybe not if they have dial up. I have programmed for around twenty years now and I have watched many major moves in the industry. Of course I would make the wrong choices and always end up on the back side of all new technology. That is a thing of the past. The most important thing I have learned from all the large sucessful companies is that they do not develop for today's machine but what will be the top of the line machine (and OS) when the start to deploy. They know that they several years of sales ahead before that top of the line machine is then outdated. In short, program for tomorrow as you have already missed todays deadline! Currently, .NET is offered in XP's Window Update function. I would imagine it will be in 9x and 2K Windows Update soon. Then they will ship all future versions of XP with .NET built in. After August all future (Windows) machines will come with .NET already loaded as it will be a part of the XP Upgrade. So, maybe today you will not get as many downloads from the masses, but in the short future you will. Of course, right now everyone is hungry to see something new for .NET so they download about anything ;) One last thought, for my I can produce programs in about a forth of the time as my old VC/MFC. Have you thought of how many different apps you can have on the market in the same length of time that you would spend developing just one :) I personally, just do not look back!

I multiply lpcbData by two. I new(lpcbData) I call RegEnumValue again. Thanks for the tip. This is actually what I am doing now, with the exception of doubling the buffer size returned.
