I might be wrong but as far as i know when you grab the window or size it, an "internal message loop" starts (probably it's somewhere inside one of the system DLLs, just a guess too) that handles the move/size operation, filters out some messages and lets others reach your window(s). > The problem with computers is that they do what you tell them to do and not what you want them to do. < > "It doesn't work, fix it" does not qualify as a bug report. < > Amazing what new features none of the programmers working on the project ever heard of you can learn about when reading what the marketing guys wrote about it. <

Oops, sorry I forgot to respond to this but I did actually fix it, the project that kept recompiling was looking for files from a project that weren't added into my parent project. I guess somehow since the one sub-project wasn't added into the parent, the files weren't registering as having been compiled "under the project" or something. When I added in the dependant project, everything was fixed. KR

That is what I needed, thank you!!! KR

Ugh, I can't believe there's no way to custom draw the internal scrollbars of a control... it may not have an HWND associated with it, but you can click it and use it just like any other scrollbar so it must send some sort of scrollbar messages, and it's drawn somewhere, somehow, so there has to be a way to custom draw it... Thanks for the link though, more and more it keeps looking like I will have to put in my own custom scrollbars but I wish I could just take advantage of the internal ones. KR

Thanks, I was able to find what I needed in that article. KR

Did you previously install a Beta version of Visual Studio 2008? Have you installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1[^]?

That's weird, that's the first thing I tried earlier today and it didn't work. I must have done something wrong before because it seems to work now. I thought it was stupid to have to subclass the thing... Ok, all set, thanks! KR

Thanks KR

Like this: m_menu=GetMenu(); m_menu=m_Menu->GetSubmenu(0);

Please check whether you have properly included the staticlib in its settings. Second thing, you have to specify the path in which the static liv is located in Project->Settings->Link->Input. Also please check whether you have included the namespace of the first project in the second one. akt

Can I pass the registry key directly into CreateInstance instead of using a CLSID? How would I do that? I have the registry key as a string but I can't find a way to convert that string to a CLSID or pass it to CreateInstance. Thanks! KR
