One of the things to remember when running your application is that it has to respect the permission sets applied, so the fact that you are attempting to read the image from a folder that you will not normally have the permissions to get to is going to cause you a problem. If your application needs to be able to display an image chosen by the user, a simple way to do this is to read the picture in programatically and display that. *pre-emptive celebratory nipple tassle jiggle* - Sean Ewington "Mind bleach!

ok, i found it at last. it's enough to replace &a and &b in the initialization of m_values with &A::a and &A::b. thank u Maximilien. i couldn't figure it out sooner.

1. i found the way. indeed, the default implementations of converting text into value which is done in the virtual function TextToVar of a CMFCPropertyGridProperty and converting value into text which is done in the virtual function FormatProperty use m_strFormatFloat for float types and m_strFormatDouble for double types and we may override this behavior. so it's enough to leave m_strFormatFloat as is and override method FormatProperty in a derived class.

i couldn't find TranslateMessage! it seems to be an API function, not belonging to any class. TranslateMessage of what class u mean?

hi thank u for the link. so it's not a separate functionality. i may not use it and still have its functionality by joining the dockable panes by hand in runtime. right? if so, this is not what i'm looking for. i need the tab inside the pane. in another words i'm looking for a two-page pane. only one CDockablePane includes two pages of items which are selected with a tab control. what is the best method to implement it?

thank u :) i did this and the problem was resolved: Ct2View::d\_tmpDC.CreateCompatibleDC(&dc); bitmap.DeleteObject(); bitmap.CreateCompatibleBitmap(&dc, Ct2View::d\_itemSize.cx, Ct2View::d\_itemSize.cy); Ct2View::d\_tmpDC.SelectObject(&bitmap);

oh thanks! i was mistaking: CFrameWnd \*pFrameWnd = GetTopLevelFrame(); CView \*pView = pFrameWnd->GetActiveView(); and i wondered why it returned NULL. now i changed it into: Ct2View *AcToolCtrl::pr_getActiveView() { CView *pView = GetTopLevelFrame()->GetActiveFrame()->GetActiveView(); ASSERT_KINDOF(Ct2View, pView); return (Ct2View *)pView; } and it worked. :)

ok ok! don't struggle mates! i will see all of them and appreciate. thanx a lot :*

this kind of tag is helpful in the following ways for me: 1. i may find my own posts between a plenty of posts without requirement to read them one by one. 2. today is the 18th of the 8th month of the year of 1389. we totally use a different calendar which is the most accurate one in the world, instead of Gregorian. this helps me find when i had posted the question. 3. this makes ppl like u ask the question as a reply to my post. then i get happy to have an answer to my question, for a short moment of the time. :D lol

the pane and the child window created in it are created dynamically, not loaded from a resource!

For a cluster, you'll need at least 2 VM's. (preferably on two different boxes, putting them both on one box is nice for playing around, but it brings you nothing than more points of failure in a production environment). Next you will need to configure a shared disk, accessible by both machines. This is usually based on some hardware contraption, such as a NAS, or a firewire setup. You may also be able to SIMULATE this in VMWare ESXi, consult the product's documentation.

yeah, that's it! thx :)

i think it's better to comply with using a thread for this purpose. it's better not to alter the ordinary msg loop functionality. it does additional works like TranslateMessage, calling application's OnIdle, etc. which i don't intend to implement separately nor to lose what they do. thank u very much
