This solved my problem! Thank you so much. Where there is a WISH, there is a WILL.

Maybe (not sure) this color can be changed the same way the background color of other controls (CStatics, CEdits) is. Check §4.9 of Mike Dunn's C++ FAQ. Good luck! Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

That's right. I found JNI but it sounds like it is very slow. And you can't use existing dll. 1.You write the native methods declaration in a java class 2.Then you compile the java class (javac) 3.Generate a header file from this class using javah -jni ... 4.include this header in you dll project and provide and implementation for the generated header functions. 5.Rebuild your dll From this point, you can use the dll via the java class methods we wrote at step 1. I tried using JNI. It works because I could change the source of the dll and I wanted to use. But it is surprisingly slow. Now I am looking forward to using sockets. Thank you.

For editable items, handle LVN_BEGINLABELEDIT. For checks, set the LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES extended list style. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ Help! Help! I'm being repressed!! :love: your :bob: with :vegemite: and :beer: Sonork - 100.10414 AcidHelm

I don't think you can rate posts on here. Instead, you should send a check to me at the following address:- :o) If you really want the help button and min&max buttons, you're going to have to paint the nonclient area yourself. Handle WM_NCPAINT, and draw the title bar yourself. Of course, you'll have to also handle some other WM_NC* messages in order to notice when user clicks your button. Sorry to dissapoint you all with my lack of a witty or poignant signature.

The user can then search for a sound that have been recorded at a specific time. The program records continuously ... so I have a very large quantity of informations. Wait, I think the selection of a database is the least of your worries! Do you really want to store 1 second clips ?? In order to play a 10 second piece, you have to retrieve 10 1-sec clips using SQL SELECT, squish them together (how?), then play the 10 sec clip. It is quite a challenge in compressed formats like MP3. It may be simple in WAV but note that WAV is an uncompressed format. It will eat up your storage in no time. I dont know the background of your project, but it sounds like (no pun intended ;-) ) a streaming input with a non-streaming output system. I suggest you store incoming stream in 1-2 hr chunks of compressed format, such as MP3. Then use a player such as Winamp to skip to a location.

Maybe try Microsoft Speech SDK?

Hi! There is no any problems of using the AtlComPtrAssign() method if you are creating the ATL project using MSVC wizard (I've tried it). If you are adding ATL support to an existing MFC application you can follow this steps: 1. From ClassView, select the project to which you want to add ATL support, and click the right mouse button. 2. From the popup menu, click New ATL Object. 3. When prompted, click Yes to add ATL support. 4. From the ATL Object Wizard dialog, select the object you want to add. Note If you only want ATL support without adding any ATL objects, click Cancel in the ATL Object Wizard. Good luck, Alex Gorev, Dundas Software. ================== The original message was: Hello, I am trying to add a background image to a control. I was trying to use Mihai Filimon's method (see Adding background image to any control) but I am have 3 link errors, live "unresolved external... AtlComPtrAssign(..) ). I added atl.lib to my project settings. Is there any other thing I might have forgotten to do? Thank you.
