Congratulations! Glad to know you! :-D

No. try again.

Ok. I will try.:)

Its really very strange, I didn´t no changes but the path to test dialog.Now I think that there is nothing more to do!:cool:

you say its ok? I dont understand what do you want. whats is wrong so!?

Send me your two tests dialog apps.

Hello, How you get the handle to dialog? did you use the GetWindow methode described in the firts posts? To get the handle to another app(eg your another dialog app) you have to search for window´s caption and compare with your target window´s caption. Once you have the window´s handle you can call GetDlgItem to retrieve a handle to dialog items. I can send you two tests apps that explain it better.

I want to put a JPG image as my desktop background. How can I get it.

I think the better way is to use SendMessage and OnCopyData. 1. First you search your target window handle. 2. You send a WM_COPYDATA to target window. 3. Write in your target app a function to handlw WM_COPYDATA Code: char szWindowName[60]; // "Target App" is the target app main window caption CString szTargetWindowName = "Target App"; int nFound; int nLength = strlen(szTargetWindowName); HWND hSearchHandle; for(hSearchHandle=::GetWindow(::GetDesktopWindow(), GW_CHILD);hSearchHandle; hSearchHandle = ::GetWindow(hSearchHandle, GW_HWNDNEXT)) { ::GetWindowText(hSearchHandle, szWindowName, 58); szWindowName[nLength] = '\0'; nFound = lstrcmpi(szWindowName, szTargetWindowName); if(nFound == 0) { CWnd pCwnd; COPYDATASTRUCT cds; char myStr[60]; strcpy(myStr,"Lets go."); cds.dwData = 0; cds.lpData = myStr; cds.cbData = sizeof(myStr); LONG lResult; lResult = ::SendMessage(hSearchHandle, WM_COPYDATA,(WPARAM)&pCwnd.m_hWnd, (LPARAM)(COPYDATASTRUCT*)&cds); } } ----------------------------------------- Now in your target app: BOOL CAppADlg::OnCopyData(CWnd* pWnd, COPYDATASTRUCT* pCopyDataStruct) { MessageBox((char *)pCopyDataStruct->lpData); return CDialog::OnCopyData(pWnd, pCopyDataStruct); } Try it.

Hi, BM_SETCHECK works only to checkbox buttons!! Talk more about your last question!

Heare are the steps and code to send messages to another program. 1. Remember that on Windows all are windows, so you need to get a HWND to your target window. 2. With the target HWND you call GetDlgItem to retrieve a handlw to window control. 3. Send the message to the window´s control directly. code: // buffer to get the target caption window returned by // GetWindowText char szWindowName[60]; CString szTargetWindowName = "MyApp"; // Target window int nFound; int nLength = strlen(szTargetWindowName); HWND hSearchHandle; //Search around our "MyApp" for(hSearchHandle=::GetWindow(::GetDesktopWindow(),GW_CHILD);hSearchHandle; hSearchHandle = ::GetWindow(hSearchHandle, GW_HWNDNEXT)) { ::GetWindowText(hSearchHandle, szWindowName, 20); szWindowName[nLength] = '\0'; nFound = lstrcmpi(szWindowName,szTargetWindowName); if(nFound == 0) { CWnd pCwnd; // WPARAM 1: Check, 0: uncheck ::SendMessage(::GetDlgItem(hSearchHandle,, BM_SETCHECK,1,0); } } if you have any problem with the code above contact me . Asta la vista.

Very thanks!!!;)

Hi, Try GetBuffer methode of CString. e.g char *t; CString str = "teste"; t = str.GetBuffer(10); :)

Hi, Can someone tell me how can I get the width of a text to one determined font, cause I want to draw a rectangle that just fit around the text.:cool:

Very thanks friend. It´s really what I was thinking to do. Thanks for your help!:)

Hi, How can I draw strings with GDI+ that are are vertical bottom to top aligned! I try things as SetFormat(StringFormatFlagsDirectionVertical | StringFormatFlagsDirectionRightToLeft) but the text is always top to bottom oriented.

Hi, I would like to play with GDI+ but I don't have time to download the core SDK, I need just GDI+ files. what can I do. does anyone have these files where I can download it? One more thing. How I can use GDI+ in MFC apps?
