I'm trying to create a rounded box button (sorry bout my lack of knowledge bout MFC) and I followed this tutorial in creating a ownerdrawn button. The results looks great but there's only one flaw, even my button is now not a box, on each corner of the button there's always a white/gray space to fill the area of a box. I think is because the button area is always a box and it looks bad if I place my button on top of image/color. How can I eliminate the those spaces in the corner of my button. Thkx

I'm using WebBrowser control in my app and I've read that you can get an access to the DOM of the page u're loading, or at least the document.. but in msdn there are no actual samples (source code about it). Let's say that I want to access the value of a input text in my page. Is there a tutorial/samples bout this ??

I want to hide my menu bar but I've read in msdn that a menu bar is always visible, but I think I've seen an application (running fullscreen, probably with WS_POPUP) has the ability to hide/unhide its menu bar. Can we really do this using MFC ??

I'm creating a SDI application with the view derived from CFormview, and I want to change the window style so that it'll have a full screen view on it. I'd changed the window style into WS_POPUP|WS_VISIBLE|WS_MAXIMIZE on the PreCreateWindow method of the CMainFrame but the result is my app always hiding. It works for a SDI app with a base CView.. Does anyone know how to make/change my window style in a SDI app (especially using formview since in simple SDI it works)??
