It's been staring me in the face all the time. The timer is not being started. It should be timer1.Start and Timer1.Stop, not Timer1.enabled = true

Thank you very much Richard, its working! Rui

Thank you Michael Dunn, it's working! Rui

Thank you very much Rage, i tried it, but even with .Deatch() (i also tryed botao.m_hwnd==NULL) , i get an error when executing, and now i'sure the m_hWnd is 0x000000, is there any other variable i should worry about?. Thank you Rui

Thanks, I forgot to add that I do have queries to a dB in my threads and yes I do have CoInitialize( NULL ); at the beginning of the function called by the thread. Unless the CoInit is at the wrong place. I would also like to add that I am running my code in debug and the error does not always occur. It appears randomly and this is what is puzzling me. Thanks regards Rui

GetLocaleInfo gives you this kind of information in it's rawest form. Depending on how you're talking to the DB (ODBC, OLE DB, DAO) it's normally avoidable, unless you're actually submitting raw SQL requests yourself. Steve S [This signature space available for rent]

Thanks for the article, it does explain quite a bit on printing. But I was wondering more about where to set the JRECT defined in the classes GPrintUnit and GPrintJob? Although I am going to try to override the GPrintInfo function and set the JRECT there. I am not sure if this is correct. Thanks Rui

Only one application may have a given port open at a time. For example, if HyperTerminal has COM1 open, your application can not open COM1 as well. If you want to use HyperTerminal to test your application, connect a null modem cable between COM1 and COM2. Run HyperTerminal using COM2, and your application using COM1. Software Zen: delete this;

I don't know anything about the CR that comes with VS.Net, but I assume that it's a kind 8.5.Net version, not the brand new CR 9.0. We are using the CR ActiveX control by using the "AtlAxWin" control (part of ATL 3.0) and passing it "CrystalReport.EmbeddableCrystalReportsDesignerCtrl.8.5" for the embeddable designer "CRViewer.CRViewer.8.0" for the ActiveX viewer Then use ATL::AtlAxGetControl to get the IUnknown interface of the ActiveX control hosted in the AtlAxWin control. ATL::AtlAxGetControl (NativeWin, &UnknownInterface); Then use IUnknownInterface->QueryInterface to get the interface to the CRVIEWERLib::ICrystalReportViewer4Ptr. hr = UnknownInterface->QueryInterface (__uuidof(CRVIEWERLib::ICrystalReportViewer4),(void **)&CrystalReportViewer); or for the designer: hr = UnknownInterface->QueryInterface (__uuidof(CRDESIGNERCTRLLib::ICRDesignerCtrl),(void **)&CrystalReportDesigner); Then simply use CrystalReportViewer->ReportSource = MyReport to set the report in the viewer (similar for the designer). Don't forget to import the necessary type libraries: #import "CRAXDDRT.tlb" // The Crystal Reports designer run-time #import "CRAXDRT.tlb" // The Crystal Reports non-designer run-time #import "crviewer.tlb" // The Crystal Reports viewer component #import "CRDesignerCtrl.tlb" // The Crystal Reports designer module Also take a look at the generated .tli and .tlh files (by the #import). They're also very interesting if you want to know some of the more technical details. Hope this helps (this was one of my first C++/COM projects, a real C++/COM guru might write this maybe a bit more efficient). Enjoy life, this is not a rehearsal !!!

The hInstance parameter is passed by Windows to WinMain when an application is started. Use AfxGetInstanceHandle() to get it. If that does not answer you, I don't understand your question. Try rephrasing it and posting again and perhaps someone can help.

m_ctrlViewList.SetIcon(AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDI_VIEW_LIST)); :laugh: which m_ctrlViewList is a CButton, more...the icon size is in 32 pixel ================== BTW, if you want set a other size of icon, like 16*16 size, you can code like this.. //.h file CImageList m_ButtonImages; //.cpp file m_ButtonImages.Create(16,16,ILC_COLOR32 ,2,2); //create you icon list m_ButtonImages.Add(AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDI_VIEW_ICON )); m_ButtonImages.Add(AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDI_VIEW_LIST )); m_ctrlViewIcon.SetIcon( m_ButtonImages.ExtractIcon(0)); m_ctrlViewList.SetIcon(m_ButtonImages.ExtractIcon(1));

The suggestion is NOT to use Sleep, because it is blocking, so you are unable to tell the thread to cleanup and quit. The use of either WaitForSingleObject with a 1800000 milliseconds time-out or SetTimer and catching the WM_TIMER and WM_QUIT messages is better.
