To remove the text I think you can repaint the window, without drawing the text, like send a WM_PAINT message:
::SendMessage(hWnd,WM_PAINT,0,0);
To display text, you are allocating memory every time. You could create a fixed size character array like:
char str[200];//make it large enough for the string.
And if you have to make it dynamic, then you must delete it also:
str = new char[20];
delete[] str;
I don't really understand what you mean by running in the background. You can minimize the application, you can even hide the main window (then you should have a way to restore it, like a notification area icon etc).
Minimize: ::ShowWindow(m_hWnd,SW_MINIMIZE);
Hide: ::ShowWindow(m_hWnd,SW_HIDE);
this is this.

It may be a C++ application, but this is almost C compatible code. The only thing that keeps it from being C code it the declaration "char *string1;", after making function calls.
You'll still need to write code like that, but you can simplify by placing the code for drawing the text in a seperate function.
MyTextOut(HDC hdc, int x, int y, char* pStr)
You do not need to allocate any memory for the string in the given code, since you already know what the string contains.
const char *string1 = "";
You would not need to do the above accept that it is easier to use lstrlen than to do some thing like this:
TextOut (hdc, 10, 10, "", lstrlen(""));
or this
TextOut (hdc, 10, 10, "123", 3);
You should restore the previous font to the DC out of habit:
HGDIOBJ hOldFont = SelectObject(hdc, (HFONT)GetStockObject(SYSTEM_FONT));<br />
......<br />
SelectObject(hdc,hOldFont);<br />
EndPaint(hWnd, &ps);
Whoops, I got carried away!
Ways of erasing the text:
1) Invalidate the window and do not draw it again.
2) Call GetTextExtentPoint32 and calculate the window rectangle where you displayed the text. Save the rectangle some where. Then just invalidate that rectangle when you want to earase it and do not draw it again. This method is faster, because you do not need to redraw the entire window (which is slow).
Note: Calling GetTextExtentPoint32 is equivalent to calling MFCs CDC::GetTextExtent method.
There are other ways, just let your imagination run free.
INTP
Every thing is relative...

I used three webbrowser ctrls in my application. but it used nearly 70MB memory and it seemed that it would never reduced. Is there any way to reduce the memory usage? I found that many tabbed browsers won't use so much memory enven more than ten window were opened. but there were only three in my application.
Thank you very much and happy new year.

You are missing a semi-colon, and based on the code you posted I would say probably in the file 'float.h'.

Thank you.

Change the Output Directory in the project settings. You should change it such that the executeable and the dll binary gets placed in the same directory. It is controlled via the /OUT:filename linker setting.

In win32, you have to do like this to create menus dynamically using the below:-
CreatePopupMenu();
AppendMenu(...);
TrackPopupMenu(...)
Not sure if you want the same thing.

Yes Vipin, this is correct but it works in MFC32 dll , i believe not in win32 dll.
Is it correct ? Do u have any other way ?

It works everywhere. After all MFC is a layer on top of win32.

Yeah you are right Sir, if you aren't hacking into actual MFC codes, MFC classes are not available when you create Win32 based dlls

Hi everybody,
How can I monitor a specific port in my computer and determine every single byte sent/received into that port.
Specifically I want to monitor the HTTP protocol port 80, so any program sends or receives data on that port, its data will be visible to me.
Please help me, cause I need it very much
Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanx

Deploy layered service providers(LSP).
You can track the statistics then.

Hello Sir,
Sorry to trouble you, LSP would be very difficult option when you targetting small computer.. also for installing LSP dll you need admin right... Please correct me if i am wrong!.
I believe Hooking Winsock.dll or using Free Ware library like WinpCap would better in this situation!
