I have tried creating CMydialog *dlg in the CChildFrame class and invoking dlg->ShowWindow(SW_CLOSE), but the dialog is not closing Could you please tell me how to overcome this problem

first go to button properties and change the properties at the styles tab to icon. Then create a CButton variable for the IDC_BUTTON name and then just use seticon()

Hi friends, My application consists of an interaction b/w the GUI and a RS-232 serial port communication with a embedded device. Initially we had a GUI menu based, where depending upon the user click on the GUI , we used to send and receive the messages from the device. Now, we have a requirement where we need to have a single start-up dialog box instead of a menu for each selection.These means now we have to show all the data from the device initially to the user. For example say , when the user clicks View->ConfigDialog menu option i have to pop-up a dialog box showing all the data from the device Could you please help me regarding this. Regards, Veeresh

Hi friends, I have an application built using VC++ 6.0 . In these we incorporate serial communication using rs-232 serial port and also thru USB-Serial adapater Now ny requirement is to put a small delay only when the application runs thru USB-Serial not when normal serial communication is used to run the application. These delay is have to do since the data transfer thru USB-Serial is faster as compared to normal serial Now can u please tell me how to find whether the application is running thru USB-Serial or Normal Serial port.
