Hi i just tested my program on windows xp and its got the old style buttons how do i change them to xp style buttons? im using msvc 6.0

i tried to enable debuging for relase but im not sure i did it right i went in and clicked the enable debugging checkbox in the settings but when i went to debug it said disabling breakpoints program will break at the beggings of execution i guess i must have missed something when trying to turn on debugging

well first off when dynamicly creating the kodak thing just do this frame->GetWindowRect(&rect); kodak->MoveWindow(&rect); that way you ensure the kodak is the the same size as the frame on creation you may want to adjust the size slightly its up to you you could either inherate the frame class and overload its OnLButtonClk message or just use your windows message and use GetCursorPos and just test if its within the frame window and around the permiter then on the OnMouseMove do some work while the user is trying to resize thier thing and then finaly do your resizing in OnLButtonUp also you can do this without the frame and just use the kodak thing where you would use the frame although i think the frame gives your control something easier to stick to also if you didnt know you can get your kodak control in functions were its not in scope by doing GetDlgItem(ID_KODAK) same with the frame control

im not using any dlls other than the mfc dll that gets built into the app

im no expert but you might try adding a regular frame around it and then capture rightclicks and hold on the frame and test if its at the edge where someone would do the dragging and then calculate the change in distance when the person releases the mouse and resize your control accordingly also make sure the frame is also resized also. with a frame you can add things like a sunken or modal border wich also makes it nice to use so you could represent the border with something like a modal border to give the user a visual cue that the control is resizable this idea is probably the most basic and there could be other ways you could do this but thats my suggestion

i have not altered the release or debug settings at all and anyways i dont understand how changing release settings would affect the execution of code the has proven it works in debug also there are no #ifdef _DEBUG or whatever in any of the drag/drop code for the tree view

hi im a little confused i have drag and drop code for a tree view in debug mode it works perfectly it drops the item where its supposed to be dropped however when the code is used in release mode the tree just drops it in the root node of the tree i know im being vague here but i really have no clue where the bug could be since you can't debug while in release mode :P does anyone have any clue how i could track down this iregularity ? any help or any suggestions would be very helpfull thanks Marissa

Hi i am wondering how to work the scroll bars in a dialog box that were enabled through the dialog editor by selecting horizontal scroll and vscroll i cant figure out how becuase i cant edit thier properties with the dialog editor is there some special way to acess these?

Add a toolbar data member to your dialog class then in oninitdlg m_Tool.CreateEx(this, TBSTYLE_FLAT, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_TOP | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC ); create your toolbar then right after that call RepositionBars(AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_FIRST, AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_LAST, 0); and that should do it

just use an overloded operatoer FILETIME operator-(FILETIME &ft, FILETIME &ft1);

maybe you want to use SetTimer SetTimer(TIMER_ID, time); Then just set up a message handler to check for TIMER_ID and do what you want in that message i think there are a few samples somewhere on this site :P
