Hi, I'm a beginner but I tried to figure it out for you. The following code doesn't work, but it's what I came up with, and maybe it will give you some ideas. I have a simple dialog box with a few controls and I added this function to the Dialog class(CCodeProject_Dialog2Dlg): HBRUSH CCodeProject_Dialog2Dlg::OnCtlColor(CDC *pDC, CWnd *pWnd, UINT nCtlColor) { HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor); if(pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID() == IDC_WIN98) { pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(255,0,0)); pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT); } return hbr; } How did you set the background color? I can't believe the previous poster wouldn't help you. I clicked on the link he posted, and any of the author's of those button programs should be able to tell you how to do that. Also, what's up with a programming forum that doesn't allow you to post indented code?

Thank you very much:)

You'll need to create a seperate CDialogImpl derived class for each dialog and then call them using the DoModal function, or hide the current window and show the new dialog. Michael CP Blog [^]

There is only one way: brute force In an MFC implementation, you would use a CDC object and the GetPixel SDK function. The function returns the color of a pixel in the specified point. You would need to run through the bigger DC in pieces of the smaller DC, comparing each pixel against other. -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible.

The problem i think its because of Detaching bitmap at the end. Comment out that and try. May be you can move Bitmap variable to class variable. Hope this helps!!!

Make sure you're passing the right window handle to TrackPopupMenu() - that's the window that gets the WM_COMMAND --Mike-- Ericahist | Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber CP SearchBar v2.0.2 released

Come on please anybody, I'm begging you! I'm certain someone has tried (done?) this before... please..

I used the exact same combo already but it just doesnt't work. Maybe it's the point that I use an exe instead of a DLL. You think that's what's wrong? If that's what i need to do (Use a DLL) then could you maybe give me a link to a project that uses resource DLL's in different languages (Like MSN messenger)? Thanks for your awnser :-)

I have used something like the following: In the parent's message map include REFLECT_NOTIFICATIONS() like: BEGIN_MSG_MAP(CMainFrame) REFLECT_NOTIFICATIONS() ... END_MSG_MSP() And in the child message map do something like: BEGIN_MSG_MAP(CChildWindow) MSG_OCM_NOTIFY(OnNotify) DEFAULT_REFLECTION_HANDLER() END_MSG_MAP() This has worked for me. The MSG_OCM_NOTIFY is from WTL enhanced message crackers in atlcrack.h. Good Luck, Tom Rieck

:-) Great! Thnx

Please show the code for the container's message map and class declaration. I'm on MSN: joao.fig@mail.telepac.pt

This happens if you use one setting for which runtime to use, and the lib was built using another. If it works when you use 'Debug Multithread DLL' but not when you use 'Debug Multithread', guess which one they used ;) ? Steve S [This signature space available for rent]

Add them to the UPDATE_UI_MAP. For example, UPDATE_ELEMENT(ID_FILE_PRINT, UPDUI_TOOLBAR) and then in the OnIdle() handler, have something like this: UIEnable(ID_FILE_PRINT, /* your boolean condition here */);
