there's an article here on CP that does that. here it is[^] Maximilien Lincourt Your Head A Splode - Strong Bad

if you want your context_menu on right click on the editbox see an article of Mr PJ Arends about it. WhiteSky

Try dlg->DestroyWindow() instead. You also have to delete dlg at some point unless you've taken the steps to make the modeless dialog self deleting. Mark

Well one simple solution would be using WM_KEYDOWN message or OnKeyDown() in MFC which i hope you already know. Another way out is to use Keyboard Hook. When the splash screen is created, create a keyboard hook and use a callback function to trap any(really any) key pressed. Destroy the Splash Screen window in the callback function. And also don't forget to unhook the Keyboard callback as soon as the splash screen is destroyed (important). Refer to following functions in MSDN: SetWindowsHookEx() KeyboardProc() UnhookWindowsHookEx()

Thanks for the information.

You can use WM_KEYUP orWM_KEYDOWN did you try it?:) WhiteSky

These delay is have to do since the data transfer thru USB-Serial is faster as compared to normal serial Why do you need to do such a thing ? :confused: That sounds very strange. Your applications (on both sides) should never be dependent on the time needed to transmit the data on the link (it can be unreliable). Anyway, with windows, you won't be able to have a precision under 10 or 15 msec as windows is not a real-time operating system. Maybe if you describe more in detail your problem we can help you to find another solution (please, describe it with keeping in mind that we don't know your app and that we cannot see your screen).

You can use function GetBarInfo & SetBarInfo ----------------- conglt
