1. About string.find, it would be elegant to use string::npos instead of -1. 2. About string.substr, Actually it return basic_string and this class has a function called empty which returns true if the string object contains no characters; false if it has at least one character. I guess this would be good practice.

Hi experts, I have an activex control that is placed on a dialog. At runtime I have the nIDs of all the controls so, by using function GetDlgItem I am able to get the pointer to that activex control as CWnd*. So, My question is how can I get that activex class name or how can i identify whether the pointer is of activex class or not. I have already used typeid, CRuntimeClass, and dynamic_cast but unable to get the required result. Please help me in resolving it.

CListCtrl; "Grid Control" ; ((C# AND NOT Grid) OR Spreadsheet) Try this link it gives you info about progress bars http://www.codeproject.com/KB/tree/progresshourglassfx.aspx[^]
