As has been said, never use SendMessage() to send messages between threads. Use PostMessage() instead. If you really need the return value from the message then you can use SendMessageTimeout(). You may be right I may be crazy -- Billy Joel -- Within you lies the power for good, use it!!!

That will work if the scrollbar is for the view, not for a list control or list box in the view...

I dont think its built in, but you can: * Write a dll/exe that implements this[^] * Detect what processortype is connected (CeGetSystemInfo), and transfer the correct version of your exe/dll to the pda (CeWriteFile) * Execute the soft reset with CeCreateProcess/CeRapiInvoke.

I like to autosize the owner draw button depending upon the text that it load dynamically based on localization strings. so some strings are large than others. Keeping this I override DrawItem in the inherited class from CButton. The sample code is below void CMyGraphicButton::DrawItem (LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT lpDrawItemStruct) { CString cs; CString cslong; ASSERT(lpDrawItemStruct->CtlType == ODT_BUTTON); LPCTSTR lpszText = (LPCTSTR) lpDrawItemStruct->itemData; if (!lpszText || lpszText == (LPCTSTR)-1) { GetWindowText (cs); } else cs = lpszText; // now i m trying to resize , so let try to increase the size of button unconditioally // I get //lpDrawItemStruct>rcItem.left =0 //lpDrawItemStruct>rcItem.right =75 //lpDrawItemStruct>rcItem.top = 0 //lpDrawItemStruct>rcItem.bottom = 25 //As my button is on extreme right side of dialog so i tried to extend/increase the size of // button of the left side as follows lpDrawItemStruct>rcItem.left -= 25 ; // but the above causes the text to be moved on right side insead of resize/increase the //button size. Any idea or help is appriciated. Thanks Anil } [AKS]
