Re: how to display resources from a .rc or .res file ? Mayank Goyal16-Jul-04 3:43 Mayank Goyal 16-Jul-04 3:43  Hi, I think if what you require is an way to view resources then you can do the following. 1) use FindResource/FindResourceEx to locate the required dialog box in your resource. 2) Use CreateDialogIndirect or likes to create and show an dialog box in its running condition. (Use an dummy wndproc for it).

When the handset is lifted, I want the window to be displayed and activated. Currently I use... pdlg->SetWindowPos(&wndTopMost, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_SHOWWINDOW | SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOMOVE);<br /> pdlg->SetForegroundWindow();<br /> pdlg->SetFocus(); If another application is active, when I lift the handset, this code shows the window, and makes the window title bar flash, but does not grab the input focus or activate the application. Can someone help please? TIA I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe Jerry Davis http://www.astad.org http://www.jvf.co.uk Re: Grabbing &quot;Focus&quot; V.15-Jul-04 23:15 V. 15-Jul-04 23:15  try: pdlg->ShowWindow(VALUE); With VALUE= SW_FORCEMINIMIZE Windows 2000/XP: Minimizes a window, even if the thread that owns the window is hung. This flag should only be used when minimizing windows from a different thread. SW_HIDE Hides the window and activates another window. SW_MAXIMIZE Maximizes the specified window. SW_MINIMIZE Minimizes the specified window and activates the next top-level window in the Z order. SW_RESTORE Activates and displays the window. If the window is minimized or maximized, the system restores it to its original size and position. An application should specify this flag when restoring a minimized window. SW_SHOW Activates the window and displays it in its current size and position. SW_SHOWDEFAULT Sets the show state based on the SW_ value specified in the STARTUPINFO structure passed to the CreateProcess function by the program that started the application. SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED Activates the window and displays it as a maximized window. SW_SHOWMINIMIZED Activates the window and displays it as a minimized window. SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE Displays the window as a minimized window. This value is similar to SW_SHOWMINIMIZED, except the window is not activated. SW_SHOWNA Displays the window in its current size and position. This value is similar to SW_SHOW, except the window is not activated. SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE Displays a window in its most recent size and position. This value is similar to SW_SHOWNORMAL, except the window is not actived. SW_SHOWNORMAL Activates and displays a window. If the window is minimized or maximized, the system restores it to its original size and position. An application should specify this flag when displaying the window for the first time Maybe it helps, maybe it doesn't... Good luck!

They don't seem to work, which is why I'm using SetWindowPos. It works if the application is active, but if I'm reading an email and I lift the handset, it doesn't.

(first set your dialog back up and then set focus to some control of your dialog) Good luck!

I have a MSHFlexGrid control and the redraw without scrollbar is very fast. With scrollbar however, it starts to flicker for quite a long time. What's the problem and what to do? tnx in advance!

Create a new C++ .Net / C# project. 2. Add a 'Web Reference', and insert the URL of the web service where required 3. The IDE generates all necessary files for using the web service. It is implemented by using COM, so your program must initialize COM (CoInitialize)before using the object. 4. After initializing COM, create an object of the class representing the web service on heap memory 5. Call the necessary methods, supplying any necessary parameters. 6. Delete the object 7. Uninitialize COM 8. Done -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible.

Re: Custom Control in a MFC Extension Dll ronhash15-Jul-04 20:58 ronhash 15-Jul-04 20:58  You have to register the control in the exe as well.

Re: Custom Control in a MFC Extension Dll ronhash17-Jul-04 21:26 ronhash 17-Jul-04 21:26  Hi, You have to register the control twice - once in the dll scope, and once in the exe scope.

Can anyone tell me how to make it a Child dialog. Although there is a funcition called CColorDialog Create but it takes a template and a pointer to parent. Now what to give it as a tempalte.....it should use the default template for CColorDialog i guess, but i dont know how to specify this. Can anyone help please ? Thanks Re: making CColorDialog a child Antti Keskinen15-Jul-04 22:50 Antti Keskinen 15-Jul-04 22:50  There is no way. The Common Dialogs are not designed to run as child windows. Microsoft calls this "Behaviour by design", and unfortunately there's nothing you can do about it. If you're trying to build a Paint-like application that has a color selection window that the user can use to pick up pen/box colors or something like that, then the only way you can implement such a window is to create it yourself, bottom-up. I'm not sure if there are any examples available in Code Project, but creating it yourself is good practise anyway To use the CColorDialog properly, you first create an object of CColorDialog, then call DoModal to display the color dialog. When user has selected color and dismisses the dialog screen, you can use the member functions of the class to retrieve the selected color. Do NOT call Create yourself, but allow the framework to do it for you. -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible.
