Call them for what ?

Can you help us by telling us what you want to achieve ?

One way to store images in a DLL is to include them in a resource DLL ( hint hint wink wink )

Create a Resource Dll as Suggested By Mr Jorgen!.. and you can use CEnBitmap: Derived From CBitmap[^] class by Dan.g. to dynamic display them..

Unfortunately, that class doesn't handle XP themes, so it would look really ugly in an XP GUI.

Indeed. Which is why I'm using the ChaNinja style.

Yikes!

My customers however mostly run XP as is. I doubt many of them know what a theme is. I do know though that they will be able to spot the difference between a seemingly square chunky thing and the rest of the GUI (the Fisher Price/Lego Duplo theme Wink | ;)

). The worst part is that I've got customers running Win98, Me, NT4 and 2000, so anytime I need to hack up a control, I have to give it two rendering routines. Sigh | :sigh:

(And I refuse to buy a third party class library as well. On a pre-XP box, I want things to look pre-XP. I guess I'm a stubborn GUI fascist Smile | :)

I recommend the brute force approach.

Since you want to put a bitmap on the button, why not simply include the text you want in the bitmap? (i.e. your bitmap has the text "Open" with the small folder picture next to it.)

I believe the window TCP/IP stack is based on that of the BSD unix variants. So maybe you can download the BSD stack source for some info.

You could load it into a HTML view (or with a bit more manual labour directly into a IE window), and call IHTMLWindow3::print on it.

We say "get a life" to each other, disappointed or jokingly. What we forget, though, is that this is possibly the most destructive advice you can give to a geek.

I think it is possiable by masking the icon or bitmap with background colour. Then show that masked bitmap.

Methods & Properties ActiveX in VS 7.1

2-Dec-05 0:42

Am I correct in thinking that all the functions of an ActiveX is placed in the Class (e.g. Message Maps, Events etc) and the Prop provides the Methods & Properties for accessing the control.

Do you use the Dialog form on the Prop to place indicator controls( static labels, edit boxes etc) - How is this dialog used?

Not quite sure how to expose properties ( can see how to add them) but how do you tie them to Class vaiables.

Not been able to find a simple example using VS 7.1
