No the ID is the same "IDR_MAINFRAME", but they have difrerent 'Language' and 'Condition' property set. Thanks

Thanks for contributing, my app is SDI MFC. One question just to make my self clear, when I use 'Project > Properties > Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies' entering libmysql.lib mysys.lib strings.lib is this dynamically linking or static. Same question for #pragma comment(lib, "Netapi32.lib") #pragma comment(lib, "mpr.lib") #pragma comment(lib, "shlwapi.lib") entries. When compiled will exe contain those lib's or do I need to make sure that those lib's exist on target machine by building msi file? My gold is to have the exe which will contain all necessary stuff to work on win target machine (Win2000, XP, Vista, Win7).

I've solved it if (!m_wndMenuBar.Create(this)) { TRACE0("Failed to create menubar\n"); return -1; // fail to create } m\_wndMenuBar.SetMenuSizes(CSize(22,22), CSize(16,16)); m\_wndMenuBar.SetPaneStyle(m\_wndMenuBar.GetPaneStyle() | CBRS\_SIZE\_DYNAMIC | CBRS\_TOOLTIPS | CBRS\_FLYBY); // prevent the menu bar from taking the focus on activation CMFCPopupMenu::SetForceMenuFocus(FALSE); CMFCToolBarInfo tbInfo; tbInfo.m\_uiColdResID = 0; tbInfo.m\_uiDisabledResID = 0; tbInfo.m\_uiHotResID = 0; tbInfo.m\_uiLargeColdResID = 0; tbInfo.m\_uiLargeDisabledResID = 0; tbInfo.m\_uiLargeHotResID = 0; tbInfo.m\_uiMenuResID = IDR\_MAINFRAME\_256; if (!m\_wndToolBar.CreateEx(this, TBSTYLE\_FLAT, WS\_CHILD | WS\_VISIBLE | CBRS\_TOP | CBRS\_GRIPPER | CBRS\_TOOLTIPS | CBRS\_FLYBY | CBRS\_SIZE\_DYNAMIC) || !m\_wndToolBar.LoadToolBarEx(IDR\_TOOLBAR1, tbInfo)) { TRACE0("Failed to create toolbar\\n"); return -1; // fail to create } - Call CMFCMenuBar::SetMenuSizes() before creating toolbar - Use CMFCToolBarInfo struct leaving all members to 0 except m_uiMenuResID where you pass yours 16x16 sized resource entry - CallLoadToolBarEx() Off course IDR_TOOLBAR1 is 32x32 sized

Solved. I totally forget about resizing class included for my dlg. Sorry for my mistake.

Yes so I did. Found out the thing causing the problem. You see I inherited this app from an colleague from work he had slight different control then my own (it's work internal control we use). When overwritten, all worked OK. The thing causing the problem is when called OnIdle message notifies some wnd's of an idle time, and some of those aren't wnd at all!

Solved! Re arranging some directories in Tool->Options->Directories. Bye :-\

Some more feedback! I contacted the user and error message reappears no meter what modifier key selected (ALT, CTRL, SHIFT or WIN), also he has the WIN key on his keyboard. This is strange behavior for me. Why is my code running ok on all computer in my office and not away? How can simple action that registrar hotkey returns such error.

Just eastern European letters.

Still nothing???

Thanks - I found that just as I'd pressed the 'Post Message' button and was going to amend my post - but then found you'd beaten me to it! I was looking in the shlwapi[^] docs for it. Silly me :-) Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Check the path you're supplying to the ofstream constructor - this little C++ program works for me, which demonstrates the library doing the right thing: #include <iostream> #include <fstream> int main(int, char**) { std::ofstream f("a.a", std::ios::binary); if (!f.is_open()) { std::cerr << "File open failed" << std::endl; } else { f << "Hello"; f.close(); } } Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Well I can get really stupid some times can I? The file needs to be distributed along with application or it can not find and load it. Obviously if I want it to work I need to go back and include my ani cursor in my resource. But I cant get it to show (see previous posts). Does anybody know the solution to my problem?

Thanks. I used 'BCMenu' because I already have it included in my project.

Just figure it out! Thanks anyway!

Thanks for your suggestion. Of course it helped me, interesting stuff.

I believe you need to declare m_wndTree with type CContainedWindowT< CTreeViewCtrl > for it to have a SubclassWindow member. [edit]You also need to construct m_wndTree correctly: If m_wndTree doesn't have a message map (using ALT_MSG_MAP) CMyTreeDlg() : m_wndTree(this) . . . . . . If m_wndTree has a message map (using ALT_MSG_MAP(_number_) CMyTreeDlg() : m_wndTree(this, number) . . . . . . [/edit]

You can - I'm just pointing out the options :-) I suspect that the WTL CString is no longer developed (I could be wrong), whereas the ATL/MFC CString is as mainstream as C++ gets in Microsoft development.

Hi, it was a long time ago, but if I remember correctly I had to recreate the workarounds (folder states/names/positions) as the person who redistrict this project to me. For example I placed all folders needed in my 'D:\MyProject\...' while on his PC it was placed on 'C:\' drive each folder for himself. I know this may seem odd (especially if you link everything properly ) but it worked. The thing was there was many files to edit and rebuild for things to work this seamed to be the easy way! Best luck to you!

OK. I've tried opening new project (dialog based) and put progress ctrl on dialog with smooth property and still nothing. I've did some surfing on net and found similar questions, they suggested (over at MSDN) to change windows theme to classic. After doing so, my progress ctrl did work with smooth style applied but come on that can't be solution!? I don't wont to do that!
