You can send a WM_SYSCOMMAND message with wParam parameter set to SC_MINIMIZE.

i hope this code might be helpful to u.
bool bClientWinState = false;//define and declare this variable in OninitDialog(); of your application. handle the OnNotifyIcon event like this:
LRESULT CMyApplication::OnNotifyIcon(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
UINT uID;
UINT uMouseMsg;
uID = (UINT) wParam;
uMouseMsg = (UINT) lParam;
if ((uMouseMsg == WM_LBUTTONDOWN) || (uMouseMsg == WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK))
{
if(bClientWinState)
{
AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_RESTORE);
AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd->SetForegroundWindow();
bClientWinState = false;
}
else
{
AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_MINIMIZE);
this->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
bClientWinState = true;
}
}

good idea, just what's the message number of clicking the icon in the taskbar instead of system tray area. I think we need to respond
the message to minimize our application.

As you know, we can lock taskbar manually, But I would like to lock taskbar by my own program. I try to do it by the following code:
DWORD style = GetWindowLong(hShellTrayWnd,GWL_STYLE);
style &= ~WS_SIZEBOX;
SetWindowLong(hShellTrayWnd, GWL_STYLE, style);
Unfortunately, it didn't work as I expected. Does anyone know how to do it?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I did do it sometime back but don't have the message number with me now. 
Maybe I can give it you tomorrow.
This requires you to send a message to the taskbar asking it to lock itself. I did have the number but don't have it now.

Hi Tomas,
Your help would be greatly appreciated, in fact I send WM+USER+336 to taskbar, but it didn't work, which make me feel that it can't be done by sending a message.
And then I try another way below:
CToolBar* trayWnd = (CToolBar*)FromHandle(hShellTrayWnd);
DWORD barStyle = trayWnd->GetBarStyle();
barStyle |= CBRS_SIZE_FIXED;
trayWnd->SetBarStyle(barStyle);
It also didn't work, I was really frustrated, the style of taskbar vary every time even though I remove "trayWnd->SetBarStyle(barStyle)".
For example, sometimes barStyle is 380, but sometimes it is 376, and other times, it is another value. it is very strange for me.

Thanks.
This works on both Windows XP, 2000...
#define <code>WM_USERDEF_LOCKTASKBAR </code>424
static HWND hShellWnd = ::FindWindow(_T("Shell_TrayWnd"), NULL);
if(hShellWnd != NULL)
::PostMessage(hShellWnd, WM_COMMAND, MAKELONG(<code>WM_USERDEF_LOCKTASKBAR</code>, 0), NULL);
else
hShellWnd = ::FindWindow(_T("Shell_TrayWnd"), NULL);This will work!

It did work well, thank a lot. I have another question if you wouldn't feel disturbed, Actually I use spy to monitor taskbar, if my program send such WM_COMMAND msg to taskbar, spy can capture it.
But if I do it manually by using winxp functionality, spy didn't show this msg, that is why I always can't get this msg. Could you be so kind to teach me something about it?

Thanks for your help.
I mis-thought there had not benn reply yet because I didn't receive the response mail as usual, maybe last time I missed to check "Notify me by e-mail if someone answers this message".
My email is : NianHawk@invalid.hotmail.com (please discard "invalid").

If I wish to draw a window, or an image onto the desktop, do I use obtain a HWND from GetDesktopWindow() and get a DC from there? I wish to draw onto the desktop , so that my image appears as though it were part of the wallpaper, e.g. all other windows sit on top of it.
Is there another HWND I should be looking for?

Create DC by using this method
CDC myDC(NULL);

Hi,
I have an application in which I display records in a grid. I populate the grid using a recordset that contains the results of a query of the database.
The problem is that if I have a large database (about 80,000 records and above..) then it takes a few minutes to load the grid with all of the records.
I need to make this faster... Any ideas?
|
|
|

Yeah - what I thought to do is show the first 400 records (for example), while searching for the other records.
I thought to load the data page by page, and display 400 records in each page.
So, it would work this way: display 400 records, then display another 400 (800 total), then another 400 (1200 total) and so on until I reach 78000 records.
But how can I do this with the recordset object?
Do I have to fill the recordset first with 400 records, then with 800 records, then with 1200 records, and eventually with 78000?

only load the ones you need to display. if they scroll, load enough new data to complete the grid, and discard the rest.
ideally, if your grid control allows, you can put it in charge of loading the data for the rows it has to display when it needs them. don't make it load data it doesn't need - just let it ask for rows X through Y when it needs to display them, and don't worry about any other rows.

ok - I understand your idea, but I don't understand how to actually implement it...
First of all - how can I know if I can put my grid control in charge of loading the data it needs?
Second - Let's say my grid control can't be put in charge of loading the correct data, how do I implement your idea?
Do I have to perform a new query each time?
For example: "SELECT * FROM TABLE1 WHERE field BETWEEN x and y" and then display the recordset that contains the result set?
Also - won't this solution take a lot of time also? isn't the solution of loading page by page better?

i don't know what you're using for your grid, but some of the standard Windows controls allow this. for example, the CListCtrl can act as a "Virtual list control", which means it will send you a message when it needs data for an item. the MSDN has info on this.
SWDevil wrote: Do I have to perform a new query each time?
ideally, you would cache some data.
SWDevil wrote: Also - won't this solution take a lot of time also? isn't the solution of loading page by page better?
you're only ever loading, at most, the number of lines you can display at once, so the control will load faster and won't be required to maintain a large amount of memory to hold all the items.

Soory not quite sure about that.
check Micheal Dunn's "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Writing Shell Extensions" series. It might be useful.
