Thanks!

Like Cedric Moonen said, you should use virtual functions. But if you want to do what you're doing, you have to check the return of dynamic_cast for NULL. «_Superman_» I love work. It gives me something to do between weekends. Microsoft MVP (Visual C++)

hey ya Thanks for that. I can see now why it didn't work for the initial -L case. I thought the -L and -l were independent but apparently not ! :)

One last thing - bjam has a --debug-configuration flag that could help you see if things are a little out of kilter. Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

so it should be a quad - right - angle for a rectangle ? :)

As I said before - you really should download the sources first. The code will probably clear things up :)

yes, place a "conditional breakpoint" instead. on that breapoint, check it's breaking condition, and add the values to test... [VisualCalc][Binary Guide][CommDialogs] | [Forums Guidelines]

List gives you fast insertion (O(1)), potentially slow lookup (O(n)). Multiset gives you sorted insertion, and reasonably fast lookup (both O(log n)). But who is the king of all of these folks?

When you break down a many-to-many relationship, you get two one-to-many relationships.

look at CString::Format(...)

Your question is sort of ambigious since everything is technicaly a window, even the controls on a dialog. For those, handle the WM_SETFOCUS message. For "main" windows, handle WM_ACTIVATEAPP or WM_ACTIVATE. There's also WM_SETACTIVE for property pages.

Yes, that was the problem. I needed ON_WM_TIMER() Thanks for your help.

Whats your compiler? WhiteSky

The WM_GETMINMAXINFO message is sent to a window when the size or position of the window is about to change. You can handle this message to override the window's default maximized size and position, or its default minimum or maximum tracking size. The WM_SIZE message is sent to a window after its size has changed. Given your request of, "...change the way the application behaves when a user maximises the main window frame.", I'd opt for handling this message.

Simply don't worry about.

Unlike Ordinary Poiners, they cannot be NULL, and in most cases, when you try to do something daft, the compiler will object. This happened in this case! A Reference implicitly points to a value in memory. The result of a Function is essentially not a value in memory, so the compiler objects, It is WRONG! Your Second attempt works, because the reference is an implicit pointer to xx LateNightsInNewry
