I am writing a add-in for some other program (can't say which) -- and though this program offers a plug-in interface, they offer no UI support.
For the sake of a demo, we want to put a button on their window. I plan to do this by tracking their app (size, location, focus) and positioning myself next to them... like a little puppy dog chasing his master -- my button/window will track this other application.
My assumption is that I mush hook their application with something like SetWindowsHooEx() and get the important messages and post them back to my app which will reposition itself to match that app.
I guess the question is -- is there any other way to do this, than to create a DLL, inject it into their process space, and post messages back and forth?
Thanks

Nope, Unless that APPLICATION expose Interface to do so!

I don't use bit fields much at all. I have a simple struct as folows (on an INTEL format machine):
typedef struct{
short f1 : 13;
short f2 : 1;
short f3 : 1;
short f4 : 1;
} tststruct;
tststruct tst;
tst.f1 = 8000;
what ends up happening is f1 gets a value of 0xFF40 instead of what I thought I would get (0x1F40). The other members (f2,f3,f4) are all 0x00 as I would expect.
Any idea why?

Maybe the compiler fills up the remaining 3 bits with ones instead of zeros? Maybe you can do an & with 0x1FFF to filter out the first 3 bits.

Thanks.
Here's what I found: if I use unsigned shorts, everything works fine. Apparently, the value is sign- extended when using signed variables - so the 1F40 (when looking at it as a 13 bit number) is a negative number and the sign bit is extended out when placing the value in the struct (giving FF40). Hope that makes sense.
Thanks - I got there eventually but it really looked strange at first.

I have a project where a class is being registered. The class contains some code that finishes with AfxRegisterClass(). Why register a class?

I don't suppose anyone has any experience writng an interface (without spawing command lines running CVSNT) to access a CVS server ?

Argh - sorry. 
This[^] missive seems to support the absence of a native beast. (But seriously, it's quite easy to wrap a Tcl with C/C++ - I assume that's what WinCVS does).

Yes but I'm trying to make something nice and portable - I need Cygwin, Perl, Python and Tcl/Tk on my work PC because of this kind of thing !
They have to be the right versions for some tasks too.

No, they it does need Tcl/Tk. It uses Perl/Tcl/whatever for macros. But for vanilla CVS operations, as you can execute using the command line tools, and then some, there is no need for any scripting language. I've been using WinCVS like this for the last 4 years.

Jörgen,
I want to write native functions rather than rely on third party packages.
I just ran into a problem yesterday on a system that was was caused by the wrong version of CVSNT, the command line tools. The bug causing the problem (drive letters in specified working directories) was in the current version so I had to dig through a few systems on site until I found a version that worked !
We have 2,500 people over 6 sites at the moment with an unknown number of build and access methods, so I'm trying to reduce the chaos.
Some of this is long term but providing people with reliable easy to install tools will help a lot.

I need to know how to pause a program for a specific amount of time and then show the "Press any key to continue..." line that is shown by system("PAUSE"). i've seen people do this before, but i've never asked them how to.

I'm assuming you're writing a console application? This code works for me
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "Windows.h"
#include "conio.h"
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
Sleep(5000); //wait 5 seconds
printf("Wait...");
getch(); //get any key from the user
printf("\nHello World!\n");
return 0;
}

Is this a console or UI application?

Ok, Budric's response was more or less correct. It's been six days. Has this been resolved?

I was just wondering how I could send an image over a winsock TCP socket (from client to server). I'm quite new to network programming but eagar to learn, so if anyone can help me I will be very greatful.

CSocketFile may do the job, like reading and writing files at either end.

If you are using RAW SOCKET, read whole image file in the STRING and then send it over the connected socket to other END. this really work!,One of My project using similiar FUNDA!

THank you for reading my question. Please help if you can:
I got a richtext box on a window, now while my code is processing files, it will display stuff on the richtext box to tell users what it is doing.
now if i grab it and move it around while it is processing, or click else where, then my richtext box wouldnt display anything anymore and the window becomes "not responding" while it is doing its things.
Now how do I make sure that the stuff will always be repaint and which events do I need to overwrite to take care of that? or do i need to send windows OS some commands to make sure that it doesnt make my window become "not responding"?
Please help

You need to put the "processing files" code in a separate thread so that the main thread can handle the UI stuff.
