I don't understand what you are looking for :confused:. You want a text editor ok, but what has MFC to do with that ? Take for example notepad, it is a very (very) basic text editor, so what is the problem with this one ? Mouse_103 wrote: it should use FILe* studio for opening and saving text files. Uuuuhhh ??? What do you mean. Or maybe you want to have the sources code of a text editor ?

I put this code in a project and compiled it. Do you ignore warnings, or are they turned off ? HDC hdcClock; COLORREF col; HDC hdc; char s[1024]; if(hdcClock) DeleteDC(hdcClock); hdcClock = NULL; You do not set hdcClock to NULL when you create it, and you never set it to anything else before trying to delete it. It's not NULL, and so it will try to delete it, but it won't point to anything valid. int nblink; RECT *prc; if(nblink == 0 || (nblink % 2)) col = RGB(255,255,0); nblink, same problem. RECT *prc; if(nblink == 0 || (nblink % 2)) col = RGB(255,255,0); else col = RGB(255,0,0); //if(col & 0x80000000) col = GetSysColor(col & 0x00ffffff); //SetBkMode(hdc, OPAQUE); //SetBkColor(hdc, col); hbr = CreateSolidBrush(col); FillRect(hdc, prc, hbr); same problem - prc. NEVER create a variable without initialising it's value. And goodness knows what half this code was trying to do, I assume you found an online sample and deleted half the code ? Also, you should step through the debugger first, before asking for help. If you do that, you may solve the problem and you'll at least be able to tell us the line that blows up, and the error you get ( actually, you should have been able to tell us the error anyhow ).

never mind I got it working... I had to change the LPTSTR to LPCTSTR

So have you looked at line 3102 of wincore.cpp? That should tell you exactly what is wrong. "Opinions are neither right nor wrong. I cannot change your opinion. I can, however, change what influences your opinion." - David Crow

Im not sure how to do WritePrivateProfileStruct so here the code section. not sure if i should add loop or not. think the program will ended up in a loop void CMyDigClockDlg::OnSavenote() { char sIniFile[MAX_PATH]; GetModuleFileName( NULL, sIniFile, MAX_PATH ); strcpy( strrchr( sIniFile, '\\' ) + 1, "reminderclock.ini" ); char notepad[MAX_PATH]; int loop; CString temp_key; assert(m_notepad); ///WritePrivateProfileString ("NOTEPAD", "note", m_notepad, sIniFile); for (loop = 0; loop < m_notepad.Get; ++loop) { temp_key.Format ("note%2.2d", loop); WritePrivateProfileStruct ("NOTEPAD", temp_key, (void *)&m_notepad, sizeof(notes), sIniFile); } }

I'm seeing several calls to GetBuffer() without corresponding calls to ReleaseBuffer(). To that end, GetBuffer() is not even necessary in the context in which you are using it. That's what CString's LPCTSTR operator is for. "When I was born I was so surprised that I didn't talk for a year and a half." - Gracie Allen

actually, in the case of mIRC, that taskBar is not even definitively docked, you can move it if you want !!! but i'm waiting for your article Mr Robert A. T. Kaldy ;) TOXCCT alias Nicolas C.
