That book have implementations both in C++ and Smalltalk, the last one have no forum here :( Very sad for a programming language that has survived almost 30 years, which original ideas were taken from pretty much other today fashioned languages, let me list some of them: MVC, SUnit, Collaborative tools (Swiki), Dynamic Translation, Refactoring tools, System Metaphore and a lot more. regards

Let me clarify my question. I need to understand why visual studio 6.0 was able make the static_cast so that I can understand how to get this code to work under visual studio.net. Obviously, visual studio .net is more standards compliant since it is complaining. Since I can't imagine how the compiler performs the implicit cast from CWnd* to UINT iResourceId, I have no idea how to do the cast manually. There must be a way.

The problem was that I was trying to implement the aforementioned code in my OnInitDialog method, prior to calling CDialog::OnInitDialog like so BOOL UDxFilterDlg::OnInitDialog() { //NO! NO! Can't do this here. Must call //CDialog::OnInitDialog(); first! CRect rect; mGroupBox.GetClientRect(&rect); mGroupBox.SetWindowPos(NULL, 0, 0, rect.Width(), (rect.Height() - (rect.Height()/3)), SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOZORDER); CDialog::OnInitDialog(); //Resize the group box below this point and it works fine! //..rest of code }

I've just wrestled with similar issues myself, and found the following liks useful, if you haven't already found them: http://www.mshelpwiki.com/[^] http://www.smountain.com/resource/CPPHTMLHelp.pdf[^] Debbie

Personally I would not use Word to create webpages. I use Notepad, but you can also find free html editors on the net. You can also use dreamweaver or frontpage or something. Even Visual Studio can be of assistance. These will give you more free choice on how to create you site-structure. Good luck.

hi, I think you want Microsoft HTMLHELP SDK...you can download it from here.. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/htmlhelp/html/vsconHH1Start.asp[^] For the coding You can get more from here:- http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vccore98/HTML/vcovrhelptopicshtmlhelpcontextsensitivehelpforyourprograms.asp[^] I think that they are very important to ur purpose... regards, pubudu...

I just wanted to close out this thread. I figured it out. The actual project file itself is built by the application wizard with some directives for compiling the appropriate help file(.chm for HTML help). So you definitely have to use the app wizard to create a new project file. You can continue to use the already developed files such as mainframe.[cpp and h]. But you have to copy in paste in a new project file and recreate the solution as well. Also, the output directory (debug/release) need to be completely cleaned in order to eliminate all previous winhelp files that were compiler generated. Other than that, the process is straightforward. Since I hadn't already implemented a lot of the help associated with winhelp there was not much code to change. Just add a call to EnableHtmlHelp() in your application object constructor. I also had to copy all of files from the app wizard generated hlp directory from the new temp project into the old one so that I had all of the default .htm and .hh* files in the directory for working with the HTML files.

Oh. That would be the problem. I did not know that. Thank you. Shawn

thanks for the additional info, I think I read that before, but it's nice to have a reminder. :-D Maximilien Lincourt Your Head A Splode - Strong Bad
