I prefer the first; it's easier to identify scope with brackets that line up. It also puts some white space between the if (or other leading statements) and code inside the scope. (I also tend to put a blank line before the if.) Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke

I doubt that it is the entire code. IIRC some service pack code was stolen at one time. Anyway bad choice of question for an open forum! ;P Ant.

See the MSDN article Q141039. It's about the Apply button but it does mention that any of the buttons can be hidden in the same fashion. You can deactivate the Help button capability by modifying m_psh in the property sheet object as follows: mySheet.m_psh.dwFlags &= ~(PSH_HASHELP);

On a development machine, this can be excusable. Backups are way better. "In an organization, each person rises to the level of his own incompetence." Peter's Principle

The typical way of doing this is exactly what you are talking about. You have a single logon/password which uses a somewhat complicated and unique name/password convention. All other DB accounts are locked out of the DB. The user could still access the DB directly, but they would need to know the userid/password. The other way you can do this is to encrypt the data in your DB. This is very difficult to do unless you have a library/toolkit for database access which does this for you. One way to do this is to use the digest MD5 algorithm on each and every column of data. This leads to serious problems though because it is not easy to query the DB and again, you need a library/toolkit that does the work for you.

Use SetItem. mask = LVIF_STATE, state = LVIS_SELECTED;
