Serivces, maybe, but you can stop services using Administration Tools.

Any ideas or articles for writing this type of services that can't be stop.

Nope. Services actually can be stopped.
And it is definitely a bad idea.

I'm saying quite the opposite. Windows has become, since NT, more robust.

Nope, I think it is well designed (BTW I think exactly the same way about Linux).

Well this maybe controversial, but, in fact, backward compatibility has been an Intel and Microsoft winning point.

Why would you ever wanted to do this ?
Anyway, pulling the plug of the computer will shutdown the application.

Do you mean other than responding to the WM_CLOSE message?

The End Task button is on the Applications tab, not the Processes tab.

What about having 2 processes that control each other?
When one of them finishes the other one restart it.

I remember battling some spyware that did this very thing. It exploited the fact that you could not kill two processes at once using Task Manager. They each watched the other and restarted as necessary. I finally got 'em both, though.

Hi.
I'm writing an application, (using MFC), that connects to a SQL 2000 database.
In the past I have used indistinctly ADO OLEDB, (using #import statetment and all these COM stuff) and the MFC ODBC classes CDatabase, CRecordset, etc.
My question is:
Which is the more efficient method?.
I will lose something if I start to use ODBC classes more often?.
Which are the differents, (technical diff I mean) between these two methods?
It would be great to clarify all this because I'm working with those techniques for a long time ago and I really don't know their basements.
Thank you.
Demian.

As far as I know, and I am not a database expert, ADO is build in such a way that the underlying database type is irrelavent to the programmer.
Which means that when you are accessing a SQL database with ADO, it is probably going to make calls through ODBC to access the data, which is adding a middle man. In other words using ODCB will be faster than using ADO.

I created a button using CBitmapButton and set it to BS_OWNERDRAW but it is not shown on the dialog box.
CBitmapButton m_Btn1;
...
...
...
m_Btn1.Create("",WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|BS_OWNERDRAW,CRect(0,10,30,50),this,IDC_BUTTON3);
m_Btn1.LoadBitmaps(IDB_BITMAP1,IDB_BITMAP2,NULL,NULL);

I've made a test with your code (using MSVC++ 6.0) :
<br />
class CMyDialog : public CDialog<br />
{<br />
:<br />
CBitmapButton m_Btn1;<br />
:<br />
}<br />
<br />
BOOL CMyDialog::OnInitDialog() <br />
{<br />
CDialog::OnInitDialog();<br />
:<br />
m_Btn1.Create("",WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|BS_OWNERDRAW,CRect(0,10,30,50),this,12345);<br />
m_Btn1.LoadBitmaps(IDB_BITMAP_TEST1,IDB_BITMAP_TEST2); <br />
:<br />
return TRUE;<br />
}<br />
... and it work's fine.
Only thing is, that the button's coords a relative to the client area of the dialog ... means the button with CRect(0,10,30,50) appears in the upper left corner of the dialog.
Are you sure that it is not shown ?
Or is it hidden by an other control / item ?

may be the local variable, got destroyed when out of scope.

How did you declare m_Btn1?

Been studying a program for a few days now made by a friend of mine, unfortunately he is not in town to answer some of my questions and i really need to understand this ASAP. I am not going to post the whole program but i will post what i think will help you in understanding my queries for this program
This is a soccer robot program made for MFC C++, two opposing teams Y for yellow and P for purple comprising of 10 players each.
This was how the players initial position was declared:
P[0].x = 158; P[0].xi = P[0].x;
P[0].y = 100; P[0].yi = P[0].y;
Declaration for soccer balls initial position:
balx = 325;
baly = 225;
Initializes value for close:
for(int l=0;l<11;l++)
{
Y[l].close = false;
P[l].close = false;
}
//computes for the distance between the ball and the players
for(int m=0;m<11;m++)
{
Y[m].dist = sqrt(pow((Y[m].x-balx),2)+ pow((Y[m].y-baly),2));
P[m].dist = sqrt(pow((P[m].x-balx),2)+ pow((P[m].y-baly),2));
}
Finds the shortest distance between the dark blue players and the ball:
(ALSO DONT UNDERSTAND why y[n].dist was compared to y[p].dist, are they not the same value? Can someone explain why the need for true and false?)
Y[0].close=true;
p=0;
for(int n=0;n<10;n++)
{
if(Y[n].dist < Y[p].dist)
{
Y[p].close=false;
p=n;
Y[n].close=true;
}
}
THIS CODE I DO NOT UNDERSTAND: Please explain what the true and false is for for the .close
Close was declared as a bool. I get everything except the need for the true and false with regards to .close Close was supposed to determine which among the players in the team was nearest to the ball.
if(P[s].close!=true)
{
if(P[s].xi
{P[s].x-=1;}
else {P[s].x+=1;}
if(P[s].yi
{P[s].y-=1;}
else {P[s].y+=1;}
}
Thank you very much, any help would be highly appreciated.
This is a repost, my apologies to the mods but i dont know where i posted my previous one. This will not happen again.

Y[0].close=true;
p=0;
for(int n=0;n<10;n++)
{
if(Y[n].dist < Y[p].dist)
{
Y[p].close=false;
p=n;
Y[n].close=true;
}
}
Well Y[n].dist and Y[p].dist are the same value only on first iteration, you can avoid this unnecessary (though it is not a mistake) comparison starting from 1 the iteration:
for(int n=1;n<10;n++)
dopeman wrote: if(P[s].close!=true)
{
if(P[s].xi
{P[s].x-=1;}
else {P[s].x+=1;}
if(P[s].yi
{P[s].y-=1;}
else {P[s].y+=1;}
}
Probably this piece of code makes the players (except the one closest to the ball) to move towards the ball itself, but it really depends on how P[s].xi and P[s].yi are computed, you didn't show that.
