An alternative is to click the 'Browse Code' link on the left and click the archive you want to download on that page. And yes, this seems to be a bug. What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Thanks! Everyone has been a great help and I have the code working now.

Perfect! :-D Thanks for the pointer. -P

I found an answer and so I am posting the result here in case anyone else wants to do this.... First, this article was a big help: http://channel9.msdn.com/wiki/default.aspx/MobileDeveloper.Menu[^] So what I did was remove all instances of the CCommandBar (m_wndCommandBar) from the CMainFrame class that VS2005 automatically put in. In the CMainFrame::OnCreate() method, after the m_wndView.Init(), I added: SHMENUBARINFO mbi; memset(&mbi, 0, sizeof(SHMENUBARINFO)); mbi.cbSize = sizeof(SHMENUBARINFO); mbi.dwFlags = SHCMBF_HMENU; mbi.hwndParent = m_hWnd; mbi.nToolBarId = IDR_MAINFRAME; mbi.hInstRes = theApp.m_hInstance; SHCreateMenuBar(&mbi); This had the added benefit of allowing me to rename the main menu item (popup) as well. I am not sure of all the ramifications (portability, button access, etc.) but it seems to work fine for my PocketPC use.

I found the answer and so I am posting it here for others.... The Windows utility is called RasDial (RasPhone looks like a phonebook front end to RasDial). From the command line, you can call rasdial "connection name" user pw /domain:d to make the connection. I tested it and successfully made a VPN connection to my workplace from home. It also works for my cellular modem card which is what I needed it to do. Looking through the MSDN docs, there appears to be an API with the Platform SDK that might also do it but I haven't tried it.

Look at www.option.com they supply 80% of Europes mobile providers. Truth is the subjection of reality to an individuals perception

Hello prcarp, >> The way I did this was to make the thread class a friend of the control class so that the thread class could directly call the FireEvent___ functions. Is this the right way to do this? This is not good enough. You basically need to marshal the event sinks of your control's client to the thread managed by your CWinThread-based class. I have written a sample applcation that demonstrates this. Please email me : bio_lim_2004@yahoo.com and I'll send you the sample codes. Best Regards, Bio.

I am not sure of the setting but I would say that I have installed .net 2003 just to debug my vc6 applications with the .net debugger. As is a lot better than the one with vc6 especially if you want to do remote debugging. One way to use the .net debugger is to load your project with it .net and let it upgrade to .net then exit. It will create a .sln and .vcproj for .net to load, don't worry it will not trash your .dsp or .dsw files so you still can compile and develop with vc6. I do this all the time. John

Hi, You may want to look into ESRI's MapObjects. It's basically an ActiveX control and supporting library, and it really powerful. You create a window with the Map control, add layers (such as shapefiles, MrSID images, etc), set the extents, and it'll take care of the rendering. You can use the evaluation version (fully functional, 60 days) for now, and then worry about pricing/looking for other options later. As far as getting the ortho photos, check with your local GIS department. County is usually better, but your city's GIS is also an option. www.esri.com/software/mapobjects/index.html If you need more help, or help getting started, let me know! -Chris

I was wondering about that. I did see some cases where the count would linger before going down. However, I have some cases where it jumps up by 30 to 40 and then stays put (see response to Blake above). It gets bigger and bigger as the program stays running and eventually I get system resource errors and the program hangs.

PERFECT! :-D That was the kind of thing I was looking for.

Hey, thanks for sharing this link! I wasn't looking for an editor like this or anything, but since looking at the demo and whatnot, I downloaded it to try it out ... ... very cool. D.
