What are you trying do? Looks like you are trying to change the background color. If that is the case handle WM_CTLCOLOR message.

Adding to the Niklas Lindquist suggestions in the below post GetClientRect API helps to obtain the client area of the Window. Get the parent window's client area and resize listbox according to it or the way you want.

Resize the ListBox using MoveWindow API while changing from full screen to regular mode and vice versa.

Button is coming with round edges but If button repaints it is becoming rectanglular shape button. What shall I do?

I think your drawing the whole rectangular area of the button in OnDraw function. Draw only the round rectangular area of the button. OR Draw the button with the dialog background first and then draw the remaining things.

Typecast..

char arrc[10];
functionName((LPUNKNOWN) arrc);

Replace with a new DLL(mfc90.dll). The Dll that you are using might be corrupted.

Try this

// Add a CBrush member variable 
CBrush m\_brushBK;

In OnInitialUpdate function

m\_brushBK.CreateSolidBrush(RGB(200,200,0));//Set brush color

In the OnCtlColor function

HBRUSH CtestDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{

if(pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID()==IDC\_CHECK1)// Control ID of the Check box
{
	return m\_brushBK;
}
else
{
	HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);	
	return hbr;
}

}

Try this...

       CDC \*pDC = GetDC();
	CRect rect;
	GetClientRect(rect);
	CBrush brush;
	brush.CreateSolidBrush(RGB(255,0,0));
	CBrush \*pOldBrush= pDC->SelectObject(&brush);
	pDC->Ellipse(rect);
	pDC->SelectObject(pOldBrush);
	::ReleaseDC(m\_hWnd,pDC->m\_hDC );

No, calling GetBuffer is really a very bad practice. You shouldn't do that, the CString class already provides cast operators so there's no need to call GetBuffer !

Thanks, I didn't know that

Again you forgot to mention the type of buffer?

Try this :)

    WCHAR disname\[100\]={0};
CStringW name;
    name= m\_IniReader.getKeyValue(str,"VIEWNAME");
wcscpy(disname, (LPCWSTR)name.GetBuffer(100));
MessageBoxW(NULL,disname,disname,MB\_OK);
name.ReleaseBuffer(100);

How are you converting?

I think you are trying to compile the code, which was written using turbo c++ compiler? Because

Just call DoModal [^] member function of the dialog in the, menu message handler.

I am using Vista and it's working fine.

:thumbsup:

Hope this one will help

MessageBox(NULL,L"Please start application ",L"Test",MB_OK |MB_TOPMOST);

MB_TOPMOST : Creates the message box with the WS_EX_TOPMOST window style.

You need to do custom draw in CListCtrl. This article in CP might help you [^]

Establish connection using thread AfxBeginThread . Then your main application thread won't stuck
