You need to customize your control (WM_OWNERDRAW) you can find examples for each control on the codeproject.

The Scheduler in Windows is implemented as a COM object with several interfaces. Some of them are -

ITaskScheduler<br />
IScheduledWorkItem<br />
ITaskTrigger<br />
ITask

The main interface is ITaskScheduler[^].
Here is an example - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa446856(VS.85).aspx[^]

There are several ways of doing it. One would be to use a waitable timer object.

CreateWaitableTimer()[^] and SetWaitableTimer()[^] comes to mind immediately.

Hi, I would like to know where can I find sample C++ application that can be vulnerable to attacks like buffer overflow, format string, intefer overflow ..etc...so that they will pron to Denial of service. I know what mistakes leads to these vulnerabilities but I would like to know how it will be applicable in terms of client / server technology (e.g. Web vulnerabilities). How an attacker can cause above mentioned attacks in C++ application. I would like to know the scenarios in C++ application. If anyone know this will be helpful.

Thanks

Hello,

I have created a child window using CreateNewChld function

CMDIChildWnd* ChildPt = pFrame->CreateNewChild(RUNTIME_CLASS(TableFrame),TITLE_Production, m_hMDIMenu, NULL);

TableFrame* pF = STATIC_DOWNCAST(TableFrame,ChildPt);

pF->FrameInit(PRODUCTION,FontVector2,true);

The window is created using the class TableFrame but the mouse clck messages are not diverted to the the TableFrame class . Why is that so?

When I click the minimize,maximize buttons of the window the OnSize() of TableFrame is called

It could be possible that some of the files needed by the class wizard like .clw could be read-only.
Ensure all files have write access and try again.

That is a known ClassWizard error. It can usually be ignored, however. You might try closing Visual Studio, deleting the temporary files (e.g., opt, ncb, clw, aps, pch), and then re-opening the project.

I don't know, a structure as part of another structure, I guess. And what do you mean with it?

Probably something like:

{
   struct
   {
      int a;
      int b;
   } embedded_struct;
   int c;
};

embedded_struct is a data member of A with struct type.

I don't understand why you are confused between the two.
I'm sure you understand what Set and Get means.
The only similarity is in the return value which is the previous or current window that has captured the mouse.

Hi,

I am totally new to WinAPI programming. My requirement is to extract the handler to the current window when the user clicks over it or uses Alt+Tab to navigate to the window. The definition of GetCapture should return a handler to the window that has captured the mouse.

My question is when and how can I call the GetCapture() function? My requirement is to invoke the function whenever a mouse or keyboard event occurs. Can you please guide me how my program can be alerted to a click or keyboard event.

Thanks

Hello,

I have a child window derived from CMDIChildWnd and the window has a few CRichEditCtrl derived windows displayed properly on them.

But I am confused how to write the mouse capture for this window.

When the mouse moves over the window or left button is pressed on the window the mouse click message is not handled but if I press left mouse button over te minimize,maximize icons of the windows the messsage is andled and OnSize()function is called.

Why the OnLButtonDown()message not handled in the class which is derived from CMDIChildWnd?
