Thank You... Have a good day. :)

Static control is good for show picture but why you want to use Edit Ctrl WhiteSky

Picture Box? what do you need? WhiteSky

And see MSDN WM_CTLCOLOR notification.It has an example and also you can see another CTLCOLOR_*:) WhiteSky

:: is the resolution operator. It makes the scope of the function to global. usually as there is no global function with the same name declared it will point to the win32 api function. So generally we use this for calling a win32 api. in ur case ::DeleteObject(hbmpOld); means it invokes this GDI api. cheers..mil10

In your own class create a member to your edit control (like CEdit* m_pEdit). Then create a function to set the member (like SetEdit(CEdit* pEdit) { m_pEdit = pEdit; } ). Then in your own class, use m_pEdit->SetWindowText(...) or GetWindowText(...). Does that work? - S 50 cups of coffee and you know it's on!

In the viual studio there is menu called profie. it can be used for finding the time taken by entire application, time spend in each function etc. check http://www.codersource.net/win32_Debugging_VC.html[^] Simply if u want to find the time taken for a single/group of statement, put OutputDebugString() before and after that statement. Then using the debug viewer u can get the time.. nave

Ok thanks, I got it all working. :) Jerry

Just add the OCX file to the Application folder, like any other file. That's it. Pls let me know your status. Sarvan AL

I think that developers should keep the DLL's in the application folder. I really hate to see one application have different folders in multiple system folders. IMHO one should set a registry key for a DLL that is installed and applications should check that DLL before installing, etc., etc.. This way, the files are manageble by the user. Also this technique allows different versions of DLL's with the same name to exist on the same system, thus avoiding DLL hell!

m_pParent is a pointer to an MFC CWnd-derived object. That object encapsulates a window and allows you to manipulate it through various methods and properties. One of those properties (member variables) is the handle to the window (hwnd), which is simply a unique id assigned by Windows to each window created. Therefore, your CWnd pointer and its hwnd value are never going to be the same. Cheers, Tom Archer - Visual C++ MVP Archer Consulting Group "So look up ahead at times to come, despair is not for us.
