Hmmm... Aside from installing SP5, I'm not sure what the best approach would be. HAve you by any chance just installed some new fangled software package? Have you considered wiping your system completely clean, and starting from scratch?? – I know it’s a little drastic, but this would be my best advice to you at this point. -Ben --------- On the topic of code with no error handling -- It's not poor coding, it's "optimistic" ;)

I did that, and the code work perfect in Doc/View except the person that told me how to use splitters said it would work without the Doc/View.

Check WM_NCPAINT and GetWindowDC. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com.pl

Someone please help me here.

I know how to place CComboBoxs on the old toolbars, but it doesn't work on the falt ones.

Actually, CEdit is actually a Windows CONTROL which CEdit subclasses.

Hee now than i saw your message.. prev, I got the same problem with the isDigit() function so I got :mad: and create a iIsNum(CString string) function using VC++ ver 6 BOOL iIsNum(CString string) { int strLenght = string.GetLength(); bool _isnum; CString chr; for (int i = 0; i < strLenght ; i++) { chr = string.Mid(i,1); if(chr >= "0" && chr <= "9") _isnum = TRUE; else { _isnum = FALSE; break; // no use search for other char } } return _isnum; } Hope you still can use this function ~~~

CString str("Hello World"); LPTSTR ptr=str.GetBuffer(); ..... ..... str.ReleaseBuffer(); Cheers Kannan

You need to get the latest SDK in order to use features such as transparent windows, but to my knowledge, the new functions are all Win32 API, I don't believe they have added to the MFC dll at all. Of course, I could be wrong :) Christian The content of this post is not necessarily the opinion of my yadda yadda yadda. To understand recursion, we must first understand recursion.
