 I bet you say that to all the girls
When 2k came out and Admin versus User became important, I found that gem real quick.

Nah. Only the ones that give me gems like that! Wait...I say what... 
I have to remember when a question like "How to intercept the little X on a CDialogBar?" comes up,
to first look for the InterceptTheLittleXOnCDialogBar() API

IsUserAnAdmin() isn't recognized by my VC6.
Why?
Anyway, thanks!

Make sure you have included shlobj.h (the required include is listed at the bottom of the manual page).
If that doesn't work, you're hitting the problem that you're using an incredibly old product and its include files don't contain APIs that were new for Win200. To get the right includes, you'll need to download the latest SDK and use it.

Hey, guys.
I looked at the Vista area but it seems to be more usage of the OS and this is a programming question.
If such a thing exists, could someone please point me to the documentation on where the "right" place is to store local app and user data in Vista? I want to avoid Will Robinson UAC messages, and I also want to follow best practices guidelines, i.e. is it preferred to store in the registry, in the \documents and settings path, or perhaps somewhere else.
Anyway, I'm sure this is documented somehere, I just can't seem to locate it. Anyone know where this info can be found?
Thanks!

For XP, this info is described in detail in the
Designed for Windows XP Application Specification 2.3 Document[^]
section 3.1 I believe.
I'm trying to find the newer document for Vista Logo but currently my search is...well...failing.
I'm probably spelling something wrong. How do you spell Vista?
Anyway, it should be in the Vista Logo requirements document if you can find it.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the search failing...
Thanks, man. I appreciate the help. If you happen to bump into the Vist stuff, let me know.

I really hope it hasn't changed. I already eliminated using the registry and followed the XP logo
guidelines in my apps since they hinted way back when XP came out that new apps may have security
issues with using the registry in the future. If it changed it's going to be a PAIN!

Well, you've answered one of my questions. My impression was that use of the registry is now discouraged, so I'm thinking that calling the normal get user app data path routines and storing in the appropriate folder is the way to go.
If I bump into anything worth mentioning, I'll definitely let you know!

Most excellent - thanks!

The right places haven't changed between XP and Vista. The directory names changed, but that won't matter if your code is written properly. Use SHGetFolderPath() or the new SHGetKnownFolderPath() to get paths to dirs like Documents, Downloads, etc.

Hi,
Does anyone know the code how to make Not Visible a picture frame when a radio button is pressed and then make visible again when another radio button is pressed?
Thanks

Do you use of a control for show picture if yes use of ShowWindow(SW_SHOW | SW_HIDE)
|
|
|
|
|
I'm using radio controls to show/hide the picture control. Would I write something like this?:
IDC_PLACEHOLDER->ShowWindow( SW_HIDE );
I did this and got an error saying:
error C2227: left of '->ShowWindow' must point to class/struct/union
Any ideas. Thanks.

How do you show your image I think IDC_PLACEHOLDER is an ID of a control if yo have any control you must declare a variable for it and use of ShowWindow
