You have passed delay time value(LPARAM) as 0. Is it intentional ?
For setting default delay it should be -1.

uh,i had to hack my code much more throughly to see it was all about rectangles.i found out that the toolbar had one of the items resized after i created the tooltip (with the wrong rectangles).

and i added a TB_SETTOOLTIPS message right after the TTM_ADDTOOL.works just fine now,thanks for everything Smile | :)

The application needs to set its service status so that the SCM knows what is going on with it. Look up SetServiceStatus(...) for more information.

Peace!

To start an EXE in another process, you can use system( "filename").
Its prototype should be included with any MFC-Program or you can include <process.h> for it.

Your old aplication then simply terminates.

"We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganised. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganising: and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress, while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralisation."

There is no in build function to do that i believe.

One approach could be starting a new instance of the current application and then exit the current instance (some more inteligence can be given to the application through the command line parameters like to wait till the parent application has cleaned-up the resource and exited properly before initializing the new instance).

Use Create Process.
I have tested it with a dialog based app. Maybe you must use some startup time delay to wait until the calling application is closed. For more information about CreateProcess have alook in the MSDN.

void CRestart_selfDlg::OnButtonRestart()
{
STARTUPINFO m_StartupInfo;
PROCESS_INFORMATION m_ProcessInformation;
ZeroMemory(&m_StartupInfo, sizeof(STARTUPINFO));
ZeroMemory(&m_ProcessInformation, sizeof(PROCESS_INFORMATION));

char* szPrgPathName = "\"restart_self.exe\"";
CreateProcess ( NULL
, szPrgPathName // the commandline options
, (LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES)NULL
, (LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES)NULL
, FALSE
, CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE
, NULL
, NULL
, &m_StartupInfo
, &m_ProcessInformation) ;
DWORD dwLastError = GetLastError(); // for test only

// close now the dialog based application
OnOK();

// should work in view based application, not tested
// theApp.CloseAllDocuments(TRUE);
}

You might require to install the chinese font using the windows installation cd. ( through control panel-> Regional Settings you can achieve this i believe)

Create "Resource-Only DLL", In these DLL's you can copy all the chinese strings (All Resources) and call the specific DLL as your requirements.

I feel it should work.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
