MoveWindow() may be? Or SetWindowPos() ?

I have no idea what you mean by a pop-up window. Do you mean a floating control bar? In which case, you need to get the window you created, and you may need to call GetDockingFrame to get the window you actually move.

Good luck,

Iain.

Have you tried reinstalling Embedded VC++. I have been using it for years without any problems.

You might want to download a fresh copy and install that, just incase your download was corrupted or something.

your Question : "Now another problem is how to get HINSTANCE in activex control?

Please help me out"

Answer:

To get the instance of an activex control you can use AfxGetInstanceHandle() in MFC.

eg: g_hInstance = AfxGetInstanceHandle();

or if u are developing a Win32 ActiveX Control you can use HANDLE hModule in dllmain function is the HINSTANCE.

like this way -

int Dllmain(HMODULE hModule...)
{
g_hInstance = (HINSTANCE) hModule;
......................
......................
}

i think now u got what i mean?

Hi all,

First name: name

I want to get the string after the ':'. What is the easiest way.

I'm wired with my way, find the length, find the place where : sign include and stuck...

I appreciate your help all the time...

If you're using MFC, it'd be easily done with the CString::Mid() function:

CString str = _T("Name: Rajesh");
int iPos = str.Find(_T(":"),0);
AfxMessageBox(str.Mid(iPos+1));

Or, if you aren't using MFC, then perhaps this helps you:

TCHAR *tch = new TCHAR(20);
tch = _T("Name:Rajesh");

while(tch++)
{
    if(*tch == ':')
    {
        ::MessageBox(NULL, (tch+1), _T("Message"), MB_ICONINFORMATION);
        break;
    }
}delete tch;

My bad mood perhaps? Seriously, just typed it out fast, tried and pasted here. Shouldn't have been fragmenting the precious heap though. Will take care of this in the future, my lord. Smile | :)

If CString is used, write

CString str;
str.Mid (str.Find (':'));

If not using CString, write

char* pszName = strstr (variable, ":");
if (pszName != NULL)
{
  pszName is valid pointer.
}
