Oh, I guess that's exactly what I need, thanks.

The CChildDlg object exists after the dialog it was associated with has been destroyed. This is why you can access CChildDlg member variables after the dialog has been dismissed.

Yeah, I was thinking about it but wondered if there was a simple way to implement it. Thanks anyway.

Thanks a million

You must have misunderstood me. The thing I want to do is for example I press Ctrl+Shift+P and text from the clipboard appears on the screen (in Edit Box, Notepad, Word, whatever has the focus). And vice versa I pick out some text with the mouse or keyboard press Ctrl+Shift+C and the text saves to clipboard. That's what I want.

I am not sure whether this is what u want http://www.codeproject.com/system/xyntservice.asp

Use GetAsyncKeyState API to determine whether Shift or Control buttons were pressed.

It works! Thanks

Replace RedrawWindow() with Invalidate(). Add a TRACE() statement just before the call to Invalidate() to ensure the case is executing. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

And how can it help me? I need to put already prepared image but not draw it myself. Ok then let's formulate the task a little different: I've set these unnecessary parts' colors to transparent but they match system (window) colors only when being in unfocused state. I need them to be depicted correctly when control is focused/highlighted too. I guess my explanation is fine.

Assuming that Thread 1 has to wait until Thread 2 has updated the data then no it is not guaranteed to work. Have you thought about using events? Wait for the event in Thread 1 (before the read of the variable) then signal the event in Thread 2 after the variable update. This will ensure the data is current when Thread 1 comes to read it. Ant.

Because templates are expanded as they are compiled - just including the .h with the function declared (not defined) is not enough This is the pain the arse problem that you usually have. Really, its much easier if you stick to the thin template pattern - short template code. Then, put it in at the same time as decliration - as in b). If you really want to split it up - you can put the defination at the bottom of the .h its declared in. Or, if you really want the defination in a .CPP file - you can (uck) #include the .CPP into the other CPP you are using the template in.
