can you mention any??
it shouldn't be taking about "what's a structure","what's pointer",etc... it should be digging something deep into the "SEE"!, i'll be happy if it includes _asm . and i dont want any UNIX related stuff inside that. i want Microsoft C. please suggest a book.

and also for C++.

thanks.

the best book of c++ is Bjarne Stroustroups's C++ (he's the guy who invented c++)

I agree with Giorgi: Thinking C++ by Eckel is really good! Also, every programmer, no matter what language, should read two books by Steve McConnell: "Code Complete", and "Rapid Development" (IMHO).

Creating multiple forms

TreeCtrl Display Problem (Unable to remove the black color around a node icon)

28-Dec-05 22:43

I dunno if this is the right palce for this but i'm new to this forum so bear with me.

So i finnaly got Visual studio.net 2003 and it's great i cannot believe how stupid i was to be sticking with visual studio instead of this. There's so many new things i can do with it, includinga form based application.

But here's the problem: I want to have some sort of a connection between different forms, have one form start another but when i try to run another form and launch it from a form by calling Application::Run(new newForm); i get the following message: "starting a second message que on a thread is illegal".
i can start a new form without getting this message, or any other error by calling either Application::Exit or Form::dispose, these both kill the old form's message que instanly and allow me to run a new form. the problem here is that the new form runs and closes imediately.
I really need my program to start new forms from another, lets say when a button is pressed so any ideas guys?

i have some of my own but i dunno how to implement them:

-having the form return a value to the winmain function and let the form creation be handled there, unfortunately i dunno how to have a form return a value
and writing a return 1 in the button's code won't help as the button is declared as a void function. besided since the form is a deiiferent application from the winmain the mesage won't know where to go.

-making an invisible window and letting that run and receive messages from forms an handle the creation. i think that SendMessage or similar funtions would work but the problem here is that since the form is an external app i dunno how to get the invisible's window handle

-starting a new thread whenever a new form is to be created, this might work ut it's too complicated and due to the architecture of my app i ould rather not use it.

-calling Form::StartDialog(new newForm); won't do the trick for me although it's recomended by the error message.

One other thing, whatever method you (hopefully) propose i would like it to include some sort of external function or callback that handles the form creation as in version 2 of the app i plan to have it receive it's messages through directplay rathr than them being sent by a form running on that putter (have forms creation messages sent by a remote putter and have a sort of clien-server app).
A method that just links forms together would also be fine, actually anything would be fine.

Re: TreeCtrl Display Problem (Unable to remove the black color around a node icon)

28-Dec-05 22:05

I am loading icons from shell32.dll.

These icons are displayed as node icons. But inspite of using ILC_MASK the black around the icons are still there. I know it is done for displaying icons transparently but it doesn't go. It is just around the edges of the icon.

LOL it's irritating... Mad | :mad:

if(m_treeImageList.Create(GetSystemMetrics (SM_CXSMICON), 
		GetSystemMetrics (SM_CYSMICON), 
		(ILC_COLOR32|ILC_MASK), 3, 1) == FALSE)
		AfxMessageBox(_T("Failed to create image list"));

Am I missing something. If so What Sniff | :^)
