GetLogicalDrives(), GetLogicalDriveStrings() I don't know of a call to directly get the # of drives, but you can calculate it using the data returned by either of the above two APIs. --Mike-- Ericahist | Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber Ericahist updated Aug 30!

If you have a menu, if its a popup menu, you can get t ereturn value at the time of the call like this: int ret = TrackPopupMenuEx(pSub->m_hMenu, TPM_LEFTALIGN | TPM_LEFTBUTTON | TPM_NONOTIFY | TPM_RETURNCMD, x, y, this->m_hWnd, NULL); switch (ret) { case IDC_COMMAND1: case IDC_ANOTHER_COMMAND: } The function returns 0 if the menu was cancelled. If its a top level menu, then I would recommend using a set range of menu iDs e.g. 10000 - 11000. You could them map the command using the ON_COMMAND_RANGE() macro for the message map.

If you create a MFC SDI or MDI application with the wizard, some time at step 4 (i'm not sure) you can click the advanced button and define custom file format for your application. Then the wizard will crete a REG file in the project directory. You can have a look at it and see how they do it. Best regards, Alexandru Savescu

If you don't want to wait for the new process to finish just use WinExec or ShellExecute. If you need to wait use CreateProcess. Like it or not, I'm right.

You will want to use CreateDialog to create your dialog and make it appear modelessly, if you are using MFC, you can create an instance of your dialog object, then call the Create member, then the ShowWindow member. In order to make sure that it is in the task bar you will need to set the WS_EX_APPWINDOW style for your dialog. Checkout my Guide to Win32 Paint for Intermediates

Line for line I can't help you, but there are examples of what I think you are looking for here at CP, the greatest place on earth (virtual anyways). Do a search for IE Toolbar. Cheers! "An expert is someone who has made all the mistakes in his or her field" - Niels Bohr

From MSDN <quote> To allow the user to select multiple files, set the OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT flag before calling DoModal. You need to supply your own filename buffer to accommodate the returned list of multiple filenames. Do this by replacing m_ofn.lpstrFile with a pointer to a buffer you have allocated, after constructing the CFileDialog, but before calling DoModal. Additionally, you must set m_ofn.nMaxFile with the number of characters in the buffer pointed to by m_ofn.lpstrFile. </quote> --- Sonork 100.11743 Chicken Little It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
