Hi Mathias, I dont know am i correct or not. But this link may help you. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/126874[^] thanks. Nitheesh

Apparently that is a known issue. Responding to MCN_GETDAYSTATE should work they say. But that are what I'm already doing and it works very well on XP but not Vista. I have not seen any application that using bold days in SysMonthCal32 to work at all on Vista. not even MS own Windows Calendar. Guess I have to turn off Windows Theme for that application. Then the Old version of SysMonthCal32 is used and then it works. But it is so ugly. But that is our workaround until the bug is fixed. And it must be a bug since I can't see it work in any application on any Vista machine I test. I haven't been able to find a list of known bug of Vista. Guess MS does not publish that. So I have spent 2 days at work trying to fix something that are unfixable. - Mathias S.

No! no overloading of new/delete. But I must have had som other error that is fixed now, that overwrote the memory or something. because delete[] work now. But _CrtIsValidPointer still does not work when checking a pointer of an array of objects with a destructors. Because of a bug in CrtIsValidHeapPointer. but as a workaround I can use _CrtIsValidHeapPointer( ((LPCBYTE)p)-4 ); - Mathias

Just be sure to pay attention to the minimum shell version required for SHCreateStreamOnFile...!    Peace! -=- James If you think it costs a lot to do it right, just wait until you find out how much it costs to do it wrong!

Thank you. It worked very well. /Mathias S.

This should work (WNDPROC) gfnMyProc; //in some previous called function gfnMyProc = (WNDPROC)SetWindowLong(listview, GWL_WNDPROC,(LONG)MyProc); LRESULT CALLBACK MyProc(HWND hwnd, UINT uiMsg,WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { switch (uiMsg) { case WM_LBUTTONDOWN: { //your stuff here break; } } return CallWindowProc(gfnMyProc, hwnd, uiMsg, wParam, lParam); } Pain is a weakness living the body

If so, WaitForSingleObject() can be used. Mathias S wrote: I don’t think I can use FindWindow since the Title text of the application is not static. Do you know the class of the window? If so, FindWindow() can still be used. In any case, it's not a 100% reliable function in that it relies upon a static caption or class, and it can introduce a deadlock situation.

try it with the filehandle

Aside from the mutex, you can open your log file exclusively. I believe the CFile::Open function returns a bool if the file opens, so if your file doesn't open, it means somebody else (another app) is using that file, so just let your app keep trying until it gets access. I wouldn't go trying this on a file where more than a few applications (threads) are going to be using it, but it's a cheap little way of assuring you have exclusive access to your file. However, the code can get a little tricky because you also need to make sure that the file actually exists before you enter a loop that tries to open it exclusively...otherwise your program will go into an infinite loop. The only real benefit of using this method is that you can share your log file on a network, and have your application on multiple computers share it...don't know if you're getting that complex or not (if you are, look into using a database instead.) Good luck

Try the PreTranslateMesssage event handler. [MODIFIED]I guess you have found your solution and it even far more better. Glad it works out that way and I have learned. [/MODIFIED] Sonork 100.41263:Anthony_Yio

Gak! You're right of course! :-O /ravi Let's put "civil" back in "civilization" Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

The problem depends on the design and implementation of the actual application. Kuphryn

I Found this article. http://www.codeproject.com/internet/urlnewwindow.asp problem fixed. Should have searched the site better from the start. :) /Mathias
