Okay, i know how to change the actual program's icon... I was just wondeing if it would be possible to chage/remove the MFC logo in the top lefthand corner of my program... It doesn't really matter if I can't I just would like to know if its possible. I should mention that I made an SDI program instead of a dialog/MDI program. Thanks for any help/enlightenment, orcblood

How would I get rid of the MFC logo? orcblood

Wow thanks for your help. I just have one problem about where to place this code - that is if its for coding straight into the program without using the class wiz... Where would I place this code about? Ive tried in some differenft spots and it doesn't really seem to be working too good :). orcblood

Okay, I don't know how to use Visual Tools :). Is that for .net? I suppose I should say that I have MSVC++ 6.0 no thte .net version... Anyways, I would greatly appreciate you looking for some code :) I really don't know how to do it in MFC but I know how to do it in a standard C++ file - I just couldn't get the program looking the way I want... And after creating my MP3 player in MFC Ive decided that it would be easier/better to create the program in MFC. Thanks, orcblood

Okay, I have the window, title, toolbar, and basic commands done... All that I have to do is create the editbox (or whatever its called) for the text to go into... How would I do this? I dont really know where to place thiscodde? And how would I go about creating the editbox? Ive never really used MFC in this area before. Thanks, orcblood

Oh I should say that I made it with C++ and not MFC! orcblood

Okay, I also made another version of my program... Unfortunatly it won't compile and it gives me this wierd error: LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "nafxcwd.lib" I don't know why... Anyways, Im betting its because the lib file isn't linked again btu hey Ive nver seen it before... Any help would be appreciated. orcblood

Oh thank you soo much guys! It works now woohoo! It also works on other people's comps :). orcblood

Okay, now it gives me two compiling errors: AVI PlayerDlg.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _MCIWndCreateA Release/AVI Player.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals Thanks, I know mroe now lol. orcblood

It only has Use MFC in a Shared DLL option... orcblood

How do I do that? Lol Im a newbie at it :). orcblood

Okay, I made a simple MFC app that just opens and closes dialogs and all that :). However I have one small problem. I send it to someone else's comp and it gives them an error: A required .DLL file, MFC42D.DLL, was not found Anyone know why this is? Do I have to dig up this dll out of the MSVC++ folder and send it along with the program? Ive tried it on 3 different comps and eachone gives me the same error... Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks, Ive never made a program with MFC before so maybe this is why its not working. orcblood

I triend to go through this tutorial: http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/bmpdlg01.asp. However, it is for MSVC++.net. So therefore it will not work with my version of MSVC++. I was wondering how I would change the bg of a dialog either in MFC or in C++. If anyone could help me then it would be greatly appreciated. orcblood

Where about would I place this? Would it be right under the open dailog? Thanks, I believe that you understood me correctly. orcblood

This would work for a normal windows app too, right? orcblood

I think thats what its called. Anyway, I got the open file dialog working. Since I am a lazy bumb I have decided to make the program compatible with all files (that have text). However, I do not know how I would wright the text from the file into the edit box. Could someone help me here? I mainly want it so that it can open a .html or .htm, .c or .cpp, .h, .txt files. How would I do this I have no idea. So could some one either tell me how (prefereable with some example code) or tell me a URL that might help me. Thanks, orcblood

I was wondering if anyone knew how to do this. I have made several custom dialogs from my resource file but I don't know how to use them. I don't really know the structure for inserting a custom dialog either. So, could anyone tell me? Thanks, orcblood

Hmm thanks, how would I add file support (ie a .txt file - should be easiest no bit blitting or anything :))? I have a book on windows programming but it doesn't mention anything about doing this in there. I would like to use the API, but I just don't know how to program anything in. Or if theres a tut site that you know of where I could find an easy explination (that works) then that would help too. Any help would be appreciated once again, thanks. orcblood

I have no idea as to how to do this. I have my window set up with a file menu and everything (print and exit work), however I can not figure out how to do this (or an open file dialog for that matter). I was wondering if anyone could help by telling me how to do this with MSVC++. I only ask because I have been searching on the internet for a few months and I cannot find any tutorials on this subject that actually work. Some seem to work just fine for the creator, but not for me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, orcblood
