Thanks.
But my que. was "How I can know which is the supporting file(s) for any (other) ActiveX Control?"
From where you come to know that,
msflxgrd.ocx : for MS Flex Grid AND
wmp.dll : for Windows MEdia Player
Best Regards,

One clue is the filename. The other is to right-click the file and select Properties from the context menu.

Ok, guys. This might seem too much of a theoritical question for a forum. But the problem is, I havent read anywhere a convincing account for the having preprocessor derictives like:
<br />
#ifndef SOMETHING_H<br />
#define SOMETHING_H<br />
<br />
<br />
#endif<br />
They say it is for conditional compiling! But what does that mean? What exactly do statements like #ifndef instruct the compiler to do?

(From the docs)
The #ifndef directive checks for the opposite of the condition checked by #ifdef. If the identifier has not been defined (or its definition has been removed with #undef), the condition is true (nonzero). Otherwise, the condition is false (0).
This is useful for checking whether a definition exists, because a definition can be passed from the command line.
Literally means. If not defined , Define it now.

These look like reinclusion guards. It stops the same .H file from being processed multiple times in the same compilation unit as this can cause problems. i.e.
------------------------------------
// File "a.h"
//
class CMyClass
{
public:
CMyClass() {}
};
// File "b.h"
//
#include "a.h"
// File "Main.cpp"
//
#include "a.h"
#include "b.h"
------------------------------------
This will casue problems as the class "CMyClass" is defined twice in the compilation unit "Main.cpp": once via "a.h" and once via "b.h" which includes "a.h". Reinclusion guards stop this kind of thing.

Ok. In that case when we use
#ifndef SOMEFILE_H<br />
#define SOMEFILE_H<br />
<br />
<br />
#endif
what is SOMEFILE_H ? is it another SIGNATURE to indicated something exists or not? Is it visible to the compiler or only to the preprocessor?

It's just something you make up that is unique for each header file in your project. You could also use the symbol to detect if a header has been included or not.

It's simply a word that you make up. You could do the same with:
#ifndef AbhishekBK
#define AbhishekBK
...
#endif

the preprocessor directives are compiled first before the actual source code of your program. For example the #include statement is a preprocessor command that tells the compiler to include first the file specified before actually compiling the program you made.
for example #include <stdio.h> the compiler will include all the functions and definitions written on the stdio.h file before actually compiling your program.
for short preprocessor derectives are compiled before your actual codes...

Actually, the compiler never sees the preprocessor directives. The preprocessor is what does the inclusions. The compiler simply sees the net result.

#ifndef tells the preprocessor to test if the macro is not defined.
if if is not, then we instructo the preprocessor to #defines it and executes the body of the #if/#endif bloc.
if it's already defined, it is because the preprocessor already entered this file at least once for that compilation unit, and then, does nothing.
the main problem such conditionnal compilation resolves is the multiple uncludes of the same code, which will result in a "symbol redefinition" compiler error.
consider the following code :
Parent.h :
<font color=blue>class</font> CParent {
<font color=green>
};
Child.h :
<font color=blue>#include</font> <font color=gray>"Parent.h"</font> <font color=green>
<font color=blue>class</font> CChild : <font color=blue>public</font> CParent {
<font color=green>
};
main .cpp :
<font color=blue>#include</font> <font color=gray>"Parent.h"</font>
<font color=blue>#include</font> <font color=gray>"Child.h"</font>
<font color=blue>void main</font> (<font color=blue>void</font>) {
}
by doing this, what does the #includes actually do ? they copy the content of the file they reference in the compilation unit. then, the main.cpp should become this when entering the compiler :
<font color=green>
<font color=blue>class</font> CParent {
<font color=green>
};
<font color=green>
<font color=green>
<font color=blue>class</font> CParent {
<font color=green>
};
<font color=blue>class</font> CChild : <font color=blue>public</font> CParent {
<font color=green>
};
<font color=blue>void main</font> (<font color=blue>void</font>) {
}
by doing this, the compiler will complain because the class CParent is defined twice in the same compilation unit (main.cpp).
so, we use conditional compilation instructions to avoid this. when the preprocessor will enter the file Parent.h the first time, it will define its unique macro (like __PARENT_H_INCLUDED__), and when including the file the second time, as the macro already exists, the file content is not included twice...
do you get me then ?

This isn’t the case; if the macro isn’t defined the body is executed but the macro isn’t #defined automatically. In re-inclusion guards the first statement in the macro body is usually a #define. i.e.
#ifndef _MYFILE_H_
#define _MYFILE_H_
I'm sure you already know this but I point it out because the phrasing is a bit misleading.

i wasn't meaning that the #ifndef was defining the macro ; you misunderstood me.
this is the only purpose of the #define directive.
BTW, i modified a bit the paragraph, it was a bit confusing...

hi

I think you can change the button color in CWnd::OnCtlColor (WM_CTLCOLOR) of the parent window and change the text color by SetTextColor().

thanks form reply
but sir i use this one but it does not change the color
HBRUSH CButtoncolorDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
if(nCtlColor == CTLCOLOR_BTN)
{
hbr=CreateSolidBrush(RGB(0,100,0));
pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(0,0,255));
pDC->SetBkColor(RGB(0,100,0));
}
return hbr;
}

Did you set the BS_OWNERDRAW property of the button's to TRUE.
I guess not.Do it and then you will see the button color change.
To change the property of the button to owner draw right click on the button . Open the property window and just set the OWNER Draw property to true.
IS it OK?

hi again

i dont understand the problem
so plz tell me what is the problem

whats error you get one error when you set Ownerdraw,right?

application does not run it simply show an message that application has encountreda problem and need to close

see my example i hope you find why when you use ownerdraw you get error.
in MSDN you see:
"BS_OWNERDRAW
Creates an owner-drawn button. The owner window receives a WM_DRAWITEM message when a visual aspect of the button has changed. Do not combine the BS_OWNERDRAW style with any other button styles."

HBRUSH CButtoncolorDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
if(nCtlColor == CTLCOLOR_BTN)
{
if( pWnd == "Your specific button pointer" )
return CreateSolidBrush(RGB(0,100,0));
}
return hbr;
}
I wonder maybe you need to use new font ( by SelectObject() ) to change the font color.

You can use a class derived CButton and use WM_DRAWITEM of course you need to set OwnerDraw in
property button in property window
