You can always subclass the existing controls and create your own using bitmaps..there are lots of links on CodeProject itself.

For determining the resolution(xMax X yMax), you can use

xMax = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN)
yMax = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN)

and for knowing the coordinates, use GetClientRect and change it to screen coordinates, if required, by using ClientToScreen API.

use double backslash like "C:\\test.jpg"

ok.. got it. Thanks!

Yeah! u r correct! But why so? I mean why is it ok if I assign it to an int and not otherwise?

You cannot mix them this way.

Tell me one thing if I replace enum with #define and instead of AfxMessageBox, I define varA, then it compiles.

#define APPLE 0
#define ORANGE 1
#define SELECTED APPLE

#if SELECTED == 1
int varA = 100;
#else
int varA = 101;
#endif

Replacing enum with #define is fine but isn't the definition of varA also handled by compiler only? I mean why int varA = 101; is ok and AfxMessageBox not?

First of all, you have forgotten to derive bc from ab here.

class bc

Secondly, change the signature of get from

hawk23reddy wrote:

void get(ab* c)

to

hawk23reddy wrote:

void get(ab** c)

and while calling get, pass address of b as argument.

Use dlgEnd.SetWindowPos(&CWnd::wndTopMost,60,80,0,0,SWP_NOSIZE); instead.

Not all the applications are generating a WM_CLOSE message (Ex: Total Video Player Exe) (-) If the application was closed through the "Exit" menu or button (e.g. File->Exit) , I can't trap that message

Why don't you capture WM_QUIT instead? This is the only message that finally halts the Message Loop. But, you won't be able to track abnormal termination of an application with this.

1. You can try exploring the flags of CFile ctor. 2) And if not satiated with what you are trying to achieve, then try using CreateFile, modify its security attributes and pass its handle to CFile ctor.

Follow the second question in this article. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc301431.aspx[^] and for exact code, click on figure 4 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/bb984939.aspx[^]

Thanks for correcting me!

Stuart, Isn't message queue an application level data structure that's common to all its threads?

You can use 'GetDoubleClickTime' to retreive double click time for your mouse.

:D

Use Adobe Photoshop to make custom defined bitmaps of whatever design you want and paste it onto the dialogs during initialization + OnPaint handlers. Simple! There are numerous code samples available on this site.

U can do the registration in 'InitInstance' method of Application derived class(before 'DoModal' of the main dialog)

WNDCLASS wc = {0};
wc.style = CS_BYTEALIGNWINDOW|CS_SAVEBITS|CS_DBLCLKS;
wc.lpfnWndProc = DefDlgProc;
wc.cbWndExtra = DLGWINDOWEXTRA;
wc.hInstance = m_hInstance;
wc.hIcon = LoadIcon(IDR_MAINFRAME);
wc.hCursor = ::LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
wc.hbrBackground = CreateSolidBrush(GetSysColor(COLOR_BTNFACE));
wc.lpszClassName = ATOM cls = RegisterClass(&wc);

Why don't you register a callback in the module where data is rcvd. and call that callback as soon as (dataHasCome)

Use WideCharToMultiByte API.
