Hi, I have an idle time monitoring class that works great by installing hooks to keyboard, mouse, ect. The problem is that when the application is minimized windows doesn't seem to send any messages to the application. Anybody has any ideas on how to trap this condition? I would like to application to timeout even when minimized! Thanks, Daniel

MFC classes like CDialog! Yes some project are abel to trace into the MFC classes but others don't. I am really confused too! It is versy strage. Daniel

Thanks for your answer. By "Step into" I mean "Trace into", i.e. go into the source code for the MFC class. The strange thing that I am experiencing is that some porjects will Trace into the MFC classes but other will not. Your suggestion of checking the MFC folder settings is good and make sence but still doesn't explain why some projects won't work. The Folder settings apply to the whole IDE independent of the project. Still looking, Daniel

:(( Hi, I have some VC projects in which I can trace into the MFC classes like CDialog::OnInitDialog() and other projects that refuse to trace into the MFC classes. Sometimes not even a newly generated project is able to trace into the MFC classes. Does anyone has any idea of what are the settings you need to use? I have carfuly compare the settings between the projects that allow me to trace into the MFC classes and the one that don't, but can not find anything different. Any suggestions are welcome, Daniel Daniel
