Call CoInitialize - It should be the first (or close to) thing your program does. The WebBrowser in an ActiveX control - Do you plan in implementing ActiveX control containment youself? I suggest looking up ActiveX controls and how to host them.

hi all
i had used the code from msdn for making menu with icons/bitmap. which is listed below.
ASSERT(m_CheckBitmap.LoadBitmap(IDB_CHECKBITMAP));
ASSERT(m_UnCheckBitmap.LoadBitmap(IDB_UNCHECKBITMAP));
// Associate bitmaps with the "Test" menu item.
CMenu* mmenu = GetMenu();
CMenu* submenu = mmenu->GetSubMenu(3);
ASSERT(submenu->SetMenuItemBitmaps(ID_HELP_TEST, MF_BYCOMMAND,
&m_CheckBitmap, &m_UnCheckBitmap));

it works fine. but when i click/select the menu item then the color of the bitmaps changes to somewhat like blue. tell me what to do with this.

   I think that is normal behavior because the system is trying to combine the icon/bitmap with the selection color.

   I think you have to do your own owner-drawn menus to get around that. There are articles here on CP (I think) that can demonstrate how.

   Peace!

Did you create the buttons at runtime?

If you have a similar problem, how can it also be quite different?

What is the resolution of this computer?

Are you creating the buttons/controls at runtime?

I think the buttons are created without movewindow(no runtime)
so if resol from 800 to 1024 then location buttons isnt good

If you placed a button 5 DLUs from the top-left corner of the dialog, it will remain at that position regardless of the screen's resolution. If it's not, you are doing something else.

What is DLU Confused | :confused:

The position of the buttons with respect to the dialog hasnt changed but the dialog is so big tat it doesnt fit in the screen and so the buttons are not visible.

Dialog coordinates are measured in DiaLog Units, or Dialog Box Unit. It is device independent. They allow the dialog box and its controls to be sized correctly when the development and target machines are different.

That's a different problem altogether. You can't expect a dialog designed for 1024x768 to fit on a 640x480 monitor. You need to design for the least common denominator.

Is there a way to check and change the monitor resolution from the VC++ program.

I needed a big dialog to previwe 4 camera feeds on the dialog box each occupying a display area of 352x288 and with adequate spacing between each display area. the dialog has a few buttons also. So i cant fit all of these in a dialog if the monitor 800x600 resolution.

So when i run the application in a diff machine i can check the resolution and fix it.
