Tommy Svensson wrote: would it be possible to change system cursor to a custom one Well, I haven't tried it exactly; let me share some ideas or workarounds. You can change the system cursors to a custom one using either one of the following or in a combination of two. 1. SystemParametersInfo : Retrieves or sets the value of one of the system-wide parameters. This function can also update the user profile while setting a parameter. 2. SetSystemCursor : Enables an application to customize the system cursors. It replaces the contents of the system cursor specified by the id parameter with the contents of the cursor specified by the hcur parameter and then destroys hcur. I will recommend the 1'st one to try out, beacuse by using this API you can do anything that you done to change the Desktop settings manually. Use the SPI_SETCURSORS parameter for changing cursor. You may get some ideas from 1. http://www.thebitguru.com/articles/14-Programmatically%20Changing%20Windows%20Mouse%20Cursors[^] 2.http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724947.aspx[^] 3.How to programatically disable/enable screen savers/power management[^] *4.

Tommy Svensson wrote: How can my window react upon move/resize messages from the parent window (IE)? If you manage to get a handle to IE's main window (a HWND), then you have the alternative to subclass that window, and trap relevant messages. Please have a look at CContainedWindowT<Tbase, TWinTraits>, ALT_MSG_MAP(), and Subclass(). Here's the pseudo code: class YourControl { ... CContainedWindow m_wndIE; BEGIN_MSG_MAP(YourControl) ... ALT_MSG_MAP(1) // Message handlers MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_SIZE, OnIESize) END_MSG_MAP() }; YourControl::YourControl() : m_wndIE(this, 1 /* Message map ID - see ALT_MSG_MAP()) { } void YourControl::SomeMethod() { HWND hWndIE = ...; m_wndIE.SubclassWindow(hWndIE); } LRESULT YourControl::OnIESize(...) { // Do stuff BEFORE IE gets the message here LRESULT lResult = DefWindowProc(); // Call IEs handler // Do stuff AFTER IE gets the message here return lResult; // Patch through whatever IE returned } Unless IE is doing something totally radical, this approach should work. I'm assuming that IEs message pump is the same thread as your control. If it's not, well, then I'm not so sure that it'll work..

You can get handle to main window by using IWebBrowser2::get_HWND. I could not find API to get visibilty of scrollbars. But, see if using this handle , you can find the way out. ie. By using API's like GetScrollInfo using handle you got. Prasad Notifier using ATL | Operator new[],delete[][^]

I don't know what language you're using, but I've always used ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) to get the screen width and similar calls to get other screen dimensions. For your problem, since cos(180)=-1 and cos(0)=1, you will want to find the center of the screen to pivot from, but to do this you will need to subtract off the height of the splash screen and any borders. The following worked in a dialog based app: void CTestSplashDlg::SetPosition(double dDegrees) { const double pi = 3.1415926535; double dRadians = (2 * dDegrees * pi)/360; double dCos = cos(dRadians); CRect rect; GetClientRect(&rect); long nNewWidth = (long)(::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) - rect.Width() - ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXDLGFRAME)) * (dDegrees/180); // Since cos(0) = 1 and cos(180) = -1, must have center of screen as cos(90) = 0 long nHeightCenter = (long)(::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN) - rect.Height() - ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYDLGFRAME) - ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYCAPTION))/2; long nNewHeight = (long)(nHeightCenter - (dCos * (nHeightCenter))); SetWindowPos(NULL, nNewWidth, nNewHeight, 0, 0, SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOSIZE); } when called with: for (double i = 180; i >= 0; i--) { SetPosition(i); Sleep(10); } Note that you would probably call this from a timer instead of a for loop and the starting position does not take into account the taskbar that may be at the bottom of the screen.

You'll have to manually hide each of the controls. Setting the parent to the group box will break MFC's handling of dialog box controls, so I don't recommend doing it.

Inside PROCESS_ATTACH, is this a bad thing to do you mean: ---- hSplash = CreateWindow( "BUTTON", "Tommy testing Splash Screen...", WS_POPUP | BS_FLAT, (sx-W)/2, (sy-H)/2, W, H, NULL, NULL, hdll, NULL); ShowWindow(hSplash, SW_SHOW); UpdateWindow( hSplash); } // ... processing ... if ( hSplash) DestroyWindow( hSplash); ----

Thx Mike! My problem is this: I have a BHO which is only supposed to load and run in Internet Explorer; the BHO is a web tool. It has a heavy init phase which is very annoying having to wait for if it's loaded in explorer.exe (that is in folders and such frequently used objects), the way it is now. Is there a way to know under what circumstances IE is run under the explorer.exe process so that I can skip the heavy loading in these cases...? Because when I had this piece of code if (dwReason == DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH) { TCHAR pszLoader[MAX_PATH]; GetModuleFileName(NULL, pszLoader, MAX_PATH); _tcslwr(pszLoader); if (_tcsstr(pszLoader, _T("explorer.exe"))) return FALSE; } my BHO did not load at all in IE on some machines... which ones with what spec I don't know. Removing the code (the _tcsstr part) makes the whole BHO dependent on open folders and explorer views... For example, before uninstalling my app (the BHO) I need to shut down every folder (eplorer.exe) unless I want to reboot after the uninstall. Any idead on what do to? /Tommy

Can mouse hooking, then using WindowFromPoint() and ChildWindowFromPoint() help in what you want?

"IE", as you call it, is not really anything but a client. Namely, I refer to iexplore.exe, which is a COM client just like explorer.exe. WebBrowser2 is the automation server that can be hosted by practically any client. This is what has driven Windows since Windows 95 w/ IE 4.0 and ActiveDesktop - it's completely integrated (which the gov't failed to understand). So "Internet Explorer" is merely a container application that hosts the WebBrowser2 control, advises its connection sinks, and provides UI services like Favorites and toolbars that can interact with the WebBrowser2 control.

Look at the Active Accessibility API (IAccessible etc) for a good start. Its not easy to use, but provides a good lot more information on screen items. int x=1, y=5; x^=y^=x^=y; // whats the content of x and y now? ClickHereForHelp();
