I'm just guessing but the statement a.next = b; looks like it should generate some kind of type mismatch error. At the very least I think you would have to deliberately cast 'b' to something before you can assign it to a unique_ptr variable. I'm not sure about the other two errors. :) Chris Meech I am Canadian. [heard in a local bar] In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.

Tom, Make sure that you are calling GetDlgItem(int) from the parent window of the CStatic because the MFC wrapper auto-populates the first HWND parameter with this->m_hWnd. You could also use the global namespace function ::GetDlgItem(HWND,int) if you want to call this function from outside the window class. I would actually recommend that you avoid using GetDlgItem and instead use a control variable. In some cases the GetDlgItem function will return a pointer to a CTempWnd object. Another reason to void GetDlgItem is because of performance reasons... GetDlgItem causes the MFC framework to iterate through an internal handle map in an attempt at finding a permanent object. In some projects this map could contain several hundred or more handles. So if an engineer is using a function such as GetDlgItem from WM_PAINT handler or perhaps WM_TIMER they could potentially be iterating needlessly through this map dozens of times per second or more.

Thanks, didn't realize that could be done.

In C, variables can be passed to a function either by-value or by-reference. For example: // pass-by-value void foo( int num ) { num = 12; } ... int x = 5; printf("%x\n", x); // will print 5 foo(x); printf("%x\n", x); // will also print 5 // pass-by-reference void foo( int *num ) { *num = 12; // change the value pointed to by 'num' } ... int x = 5; printf("%x\n", x); // will print 5 foo(&x); printf("%x\n", x); // will now print 12 Another consideration is the amount of memory pushed onto the stack when one or the other is used. For integral types such as int, char, and double, there is little, if any, difference between the two. A char is 1 byte, a double is 8 bytes, and a pointer to either is 4 bytes. Where this matters more is when large data structures are being passed to a function. Imagine an object that is 1497 bytes in size. Passing the object by-value will result in 1497 bytes being piushed onto the stack, whereas passing the object by-reference will result in only 4 bytes being pushed onto the stack.

When installed, Microsoft .NET Framework creates a folder in [WINDOWS FOLDER]\Microsoft.NET\Framework\vx.y where x.y stands for the currently installed version of the framework (there can be more than one.) Otherwise, there is also a registry key that you can look for : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework. You can also have a look at this page from CodeProject : http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/DetectDotNet.asp Hope this helps! Simon

Its Okay! I did look around and saw documentation for something called Toaster! I thought this would bringing up a dialog box in MSN Messenger toasting to someone!

Hi, yeah! Heres the problem. Ive posted on this board before but in the Visual C++ area. My Question is : In my previous questions, I created a new EditBox Class Called CInitials and changed the OnChar Message to append a '.' after each keypress. The code for that was done like this: void CInitials::OnChar(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags) { //** Validate the entered character if (isalpha(nChar) ) { // ** Convert lower to to UPPER case if ( islower(nCHAR) ) nChar -=32; // ** Call the default windows procedure as // ** the value of the nChar may have been altered DefWindowProc(WM_CHAR, nChar, MAKELONG(nRepCnt, nFlags)); // ** Call the default windows procedure // ** again to add the period. nChar = '.'; DefWindowProc(WM_CHAR, nChar, MAKELONG(nRepCnt, nFlags)); } // ** If the backspace key is pressed call the // ** base class function twice to remove the period // ** and the letter if ( nChar == VK_BACK ) { CEdit::OnChar(nChar,nRepCnt,nFlags); CEdit::OnChar(nChar,nRepCnt,nFlags); } } The CInitials Class was derived from the CEdit Class in Visual C++. The question is, can this be done in C#? If yes how? Thanks again Tom

There's either an OnChar or an OnKeypress, just type public override, and the ide will give you a list to choose from. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++
