With the limited information you've given at least I can only give a general answer... You have to trigger the "reloading" procedure in some way. If you by "accessing the map" mean that you're using the map from different threads, you also need to provide thread synchronization using a critical section or mutex.

how many times are you going to post that huge amount of code ? can't you 1. follow the same thread ? 2. reduce the code to a readable sample ? 3. don't break the page formatting with your too wide lines ? 4. just read the posting guidelines ?

No, I'm saying you need to make your project managed, for it to call managed code. It can be mixed, it can still use MFC for some things. Christian Graus Please read this if you don't understand the answer I've given you "also I don't think "TranslateOneToTwoBillion OneHundredAndFortySevenMillion FourHundredAndEightyThreeThousand SixHundredAndFortySeven()" is a very good choice for a function name" - SpacixOne ( offering help to someone who really needed it ) ( spaces added for the benefit of people running at < 1280x1024 )

The code you found (as Hamid pointed out) is for managed c++ code, and would be best in the CLI forum. You message seems to be confused between .net, and mfc. System::Drawing is not in any way related to MFC. Assuming you're doing MFC, you can select the font into a DC, and use GetTextExtentEx to get dimensions of a string using that font. You need to specify text, as "i" is usually narrower than "W". Iain. Iain Clarke appears because CPallini still cares.

I've never used that API (PrintWindow) (or WM_PRINTCLIENT message) but I would believe that should do the trick. Not sure about the layered window though. God bless, Ernest Laurentin

If you want to create a control container the best way is probably to take a look at the "ActiveX Control Test Container" that shipped with VC6. The source code for it is availbale if you hunt around on Google and it contains a very thorough and pretty readable implementation of every single ActiveX container interface. I used this when I was writing a Powerpoint style app some years ago and my app was able to succesfully host actual Powerpoint shows in its douments as well as form controls, grids, its own controls and support scripting them all like a browser as well. It wasn't a small or an easy project but it would have been pretty much impossible without a rock solid working example of a general container. :) Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

hai, i searched in msdn and i got the following link.. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/237554[^] hope this will be helpful... check it out and let me know.. Mani Born to win...!

Which shows nothing of how you are attempting to create the PowerPoint classes via ClassWizard.

These steps are common for other objects except you set a browser name for it but do you want to show html pages on your dialog?

Hi, All the .NET FrameWork versions live side-by-side, installing one more does not affect the others. You will need a newer Visual Studio to work with a newer .NET; Visual Studio versions also can coexist on a system. AFAIK for 3.0 you would need either VS2005 plus extra's, or VS2008 (Orcas, beta).
