I'm not sure how to do this for a specific ID, but you can try AfxGetApp()->OnIdle(). That may get you what you need.

I should just RTFM before I start posting shouldn't I. Figured it out from here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/Q222/8/29.ASP&NoWebContent=1 Asim Hussain e: asim@jawache.net w: www.jawache.net

another solution which works well is the following: void CChildFrame::ActivateFrame(int nCmdShow) { // TODO: Modify this function to change how the frame is activated. nCmdShow = SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED; CMDIChildWnd::ActivateFrame(nCmdShow); }

disable it - I think this is one of the ones you can safely ignore (like warning 4786 about long names) Also make sure you don't expose it directly, such as class Foo { public: map<int,int> & getTheIntMap() { return m_map; } private: map<int,int> m_map; } exposing it like so will cause you all sorts of problems - just don't go there. Wrap all access to the collection with functions for adding and removing, which it appears you are doing anyways. Also you might consider using STLPort - which may give you fewer headaches ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire! Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)!

When you want to have the program press the button use: ::SendMessage(hwBtn,BM_CLICK,0,0); Art

Thanks... Just figured that one out for myself.. i was using AfxGetApp()->SendMessage(ID_TOOLBAR_BUTTON, 0, 0); and wondering why it wasn't working?!?!?!? Thanks again... Asim. Asim Hussain e: asim@jawache.net w: www.jawache.net

I'm using the MFC version of the function CToolBarCtrl::PressButton( int nID, BOOL bPress = TRUE ); It does give the UI of a button in a pressed state. How do I actually call the function associated with a toolbar button (without clicking on it with the mouse button)? Cheers Asim Asim Hussain e: asim@jawache.net w: www.jawache.net

Here are some points to consider: 1. If the value of _poo will never change, in other words, it will never be reassigned to a different object, then: It doesn't really need to be deleted -- the program will clean it up when it exits. However, if you run the program in the DevStudio debugger, you'll get a message about a memory block that wasn't freed, which for this case is harmless, but it's better to not have it so that it's not confused with real leaks. You don't really need to make _poo a pointer to Poo. You can make it a Poo object directly: class Poo { static Poo _poo; }; Poo Poo::_poo; 2. If the value of _poo (as you have it) will change, then you will obviously need to free the memory that it points to before reassigning it. Otherwise you'll have memory leaks.

I've done this on more than one occassion and in more than one language.....What language/tools are you using? that makes a difference in how you put it together...... Just trying to keep the forces of entropy at bay

You need to do a transparent blit into a bitmap-dc. W2K and up have a API-fkt doing this. Older Windows have to emulate that via several blits using a sequence of ROPs. I found such a routine on codeguru*duck under the knife thrown*. Alternatively, the function AfxLoadSysColorBitmap() might do what you want. It is in afxext.h.

It's "cute" coding following the style of STL streams, where you can chain a lot of stuff together like: cout << "Hello " << "Bob" << endl; --Mike-- "I'd rather you just give me a fish today, because even if you teach me how to fish, I won't do it.

I can't believe i didn't think of that.. brilliant. Cheers. Asim Hussain e: asim@jawache.net w: www.jawache.net

What kind of object do you have a handle to? For example, you could use DWORD GetWindowThreadProcessId() for a window. ----- DWORD GetWindowThreadProcessId(HWND hWnd, LPDWORD lpdwProcessId); ----- Kuphryn

Thanks, i've already got that, it only really solves conflicts and when it renumbers it changes the order. I went back to the website though and it had a link to a macro on codogure which might solve it. cheers. Asim Hussain e: asim@jawache.net w: www.jawache.net

Thanks.. I did it the hard way .. tracking the mouse. I'll remember that for the future though. Asim Hussain e: asim@jawache.net w: www.jawache.net
