You can use a timer to do that. Cédric Moonen Software developer Charting control [v3.0] OpenGL game tutorial in C++

you can use thread mutex

If you have already created the Setup and Deployment project, then you can take Solution Explorer (View->Solution Explorer). You can find few small icons on the top of Solution Explorer window. One of those icons is 'User Interface Editor' (Fifth icon from the left in VS 2005). Click on that icon to open the User Interface Editor. Now you can see a Tree of dialogs on the right side pane. Now right click on the 'Start' node to see a popup menu with 'Add Dialog' option. 'Add Dialog' brings you a list of dialog (including relicense page)

Are you including visual studio runtime library in your setup? The Target machine may not have these files

Additionally to what Rejeesh said, i recommend IcoFX[^], it's free and it is quite good and easy to use. > The problem with computers is that they do what you tell them to do and not what you want them to do. < > Sometimes you just have to hate coding to do it well. <

As far as i know virtual list controls do not provide you with any means of sorting, you have to do it yourself. If the user clicks a column header you get a LVN_COLUMNCLICK[^] notification from your list control (i don't know about doubleclick, look around List View[^] in MSDN), upon this message you should/need to sort your data yourself (using some nice sorting algorithm like Quick-sort[^]) and then redraw the list items. Good luck. > The problem with computers is that they do what you tell them to do and not what you want them to do. < > Sometimes you just have to hate coding to do it well. <

You may gather and store data, updating the list only when needed (i.e. after user - you may notify to the user that new data is available - request or periodically). :) If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

you can use memu "Project"->"settings(Alt+F7)", click "complie" in dialog, then choose then choose "Code Generation", see the "use run-time libraray", choose "MultiThreaded" or "MultiThreaded Debug", rebuild project to apply changes.

In principle it is not difficult: you can just return a pointer, basically the array itself. There are however memory allocation/deallocation issues (depending also an the string datatype you choose) that you have to carefully take in account. :) If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

In you client application, add this string (#include "yourATLDLL.rc") in View->Resource Includes->Compile-time directives edit box. Next, in Project Settings->Resources tab, under "Additional resource include directories:" edit box, add (..\foldername) where your "ATLDLL.rc" file is located. Hope this helps. Thammadi

To load a bitmap from a file you can use LoadImage function (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms648045.aspx[^]) for instance: HANDLE hBitmap = LoadImage(NULL, filepath, IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE); where filepath is a string containing the path of your bitmap file. Note, you have to call DeleteObject(hBitmap) to perform cleanup when you've finished with the image. :) If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.
