Thx for your reply. I did try GlobalFree(hGlobal), follow the code of "pstm->Release()", but Purity told me I am trying to release an unallocated memory. Where shd I put the GlobalFree() function in this case? If I put it before pstm->Release(), Purify told me this message : "[W] PAR: Global/LocalLock(0x571001c) arg #1 (hMem) attempt to lock handle that is on pending free queue. {1 occurrence}" Thx again Vincent

When you call SetFont(), are you doing something like this? CFont font; font.CreateFont(...); SetFont(&font); If you do this, the font will be destroyed as soon as the CFont object goes out of scope, so the default system font will be returned by GetFont(). Make sure you either detach the font (CFont::Detach()) or use a font object that is a class member.

You would use CWnd::SetWindowPos() for each of the controls you wanted to alter.

Dear Alvaro, Thank you very much. After I added "lf.lfOutPrecision = OUT_TT_ONLY_PRECIS;", it worked. Thanks again Vincent

Hmm.. I am doing the same... the following code paints a white background in IDC_USER and IDC_KEY which are read only (I didn't want them to be gray) and paints everything else with a blue background. They are Enabled though (i.e. EnableWindow(TRUE)). HBRUSH CCncloginDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor) { HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor); HWND hWnd=pWnd->GetSafeHwnd(); // TODO: Change any attributes of the DC here if(nCtlColor==CTLCOLOR_EDIT || hWnd==GetDlgItem(IDC_USER)->GetSafeHwnd() || hWnd==GetDlgItem(IDC_KEY)->GetSafeHwnd()) { pDC->SetBkColor(RGB(255,255,255)); hbr=(HBRUSH)m_brBrush; } else { pDC->SetBkColor(RGB(128,128,200)); hbr=(HBRUSH)m_brBrush2; } // TODO: Return a different brush if the default is not desired return hbr; } Sounds mysterious! If you work out what's up then post it. I would be interested to hear what it was. :) Adam. "I spent a lot of my money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered" George Best.

Thank you very much.

If you are using MFC CViews you will get OnActivateView() and OnKillFocus(). If you are using the Windows API you will get WM_KILLFOCUS. Neville Franks, Author of ED for Windows. www.getsoft.com

Hi, Roger Allen, Thank you for your reply. Could you tell me more details about how to conver the bitmap to DIB? As you can see my codes, I created a CBitmap object and selected it to a device, and copied the screen image to it. How can I conver this CBitmap object to DIB. Thank you very much. Vincent
