Ok, so only respond to those in your handler function. Send the rest on to the default handler.

Hi
i want to create a project in visual studio 6 that contains multipe C source files and header files
but i cant understand how a file can access a function or a variable declared in the other file ?
and i want to know if its right to add #includes for the standard libraries in all files ?
thanks

What you need to do is provide a function prototype of your function that will be declared in your header file. Then the function body will be in the cpp file.
In the cpp file in which you would like to use this function, simply include the header file. If the function is defined somewhere in a cpp file, then the linker will do its job  .

A good practice is to include only the files you need in your file.

For functions, Cedric Moonen has answered you. For variables, look at the keyword extern for doing this.

It is perfectly safe to #include the libraries in all the files, until they are guarded with #ifndef, #define and #endif to prevent it from being included multiple times.

lets say that i have header.h file that contains types,variables,defines declarations
and that i have main.h file that include header.h file
and main.h is included in many source files .
now when i try to build the project i get that the variables in header.h already defined in the obj
file .
so how can i deal with this ?
thanks

You need to surround your header file with include guards. Something similar to this:
#ifndef MYFILE_H
#define MYFILE_H
... The code of your header comes here
#endif
You need to replace MYFILE_H by something unique in your project. In general, you can simply use the filename.

Why not only
<br />
#if _MSC_VER > 1000<br />
#pragma once<br />
#endif // _MSC_VER > 1000<br />
at the top of the .h-file? Seems to work fine.

Yes, it will.
Way suggested by Cedric is one of the ways. And using pragma's make code dependent on particular compiler.

in headers, you shouldn't define variables. you should only declare extern variables, that means to the compiler that the variable has been defined somewhere in a c/cpp file ; it's the linker job to synthetize this.

Technically you can, but it's bad practice. Put them all in a single file common to all of your project. Since those files are not going to be changing, take advantage of precompiled headers by turning on precompiled headers for that single file.

Hi,
I need to customize menu completely. Means including the border of menu. From CP, I found that for complete customization, we have to use windows hook. Is there any other method to avoid windows hook?

Thank you. yes i reffered this article. and found that it is working using windows hook. i need an alternate way to avoid hook.

No, you haven't. You might have seen one of them.
I can see this article explaining owner drawn[^] menu.

Yes I did refer the same. But it uses the windows hook.

No, it don't.
I'm not sure what link you are refering to.
But, I can see owner drawn menu BCMenu.

I checked the code and found that it does not deal with menu border. but i need to customize the border too.

You need to use OnDrawItem for this purpose. It is the place where whole menu is drawn. You need to write code for drawing border of your interest ,too.

you mean the border of a menu item?
but i meant that i need to customize the total menu window border. DrawItem will not handle the non client area of the menu window...

What do you mean by customization? What on earth does a hook have to do with customization? You have probably misunderstood something.

I am reading this book :
http://www.iecc.com/linker/linker05.html. It says:
"Non-global symbols, usually for debuggers and crash dump analysis. These aren't really symbols needed for the linking process, but sometimes they are mixed in with global symbols so the linker has to at least skip over them. In other cases they can be in a separate table in the file, or in a separate debug info file."
For VC++ What is the procedure for cretaing pdb file and symbol table.
If i compile in debug mode.
1-) First compiler generate symbol table and put it in .obj file.
2-) Linker generate .pdb file and exe by using symbol table in .obj file. (but exe doent include symbol table)
or in debug mode linker doesnt destroy symbol table in obj file. Also it puts symbol table in exe.
So Are there 2 symbol tables both in exe and pdb file? Or one only in pdb file?
Which one is true? Or what is the compiling and linking procedure in VC++ (VS2005) ?
