Thanks. That menu option was not initially enabled because I was missing the following registry value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DevStudio\6.0\General\ProfilerInstalled

Any Logic ?

Hi,
In my app i need do draw a icon on a specific place(each time
on a different place).

I added the icon to my resources(it's ID is IDI_Target_ICON)
and I'm using this code(I want to display the targets on a thread) :

UINT ShowTargetsThread(LPVOID lpvoid)
{
	TargetsViewDlg *dlg = (TargetsViewDlg *)lpvoid;
	CDC *dc;
	CRect rect;
	int nX = 0 , nY = 0;
	HICON hIcon;
	HBRUSH hBrush = CreateSolidBrush(RGB(0, 0, 0));
		

	dc = dlg->m_TargetsViewBMP.GetDC();
	dlg->m_TargetsViewBMP.GetClientRect(&rect);
	//hIcon = (HICON)LoadImage(dlg->, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_ON_ICON), IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16, LR_DEFAULTSIZE);


	for(int i = 0 ; i < 20 ; i++)
	{
		nX = (rect.right - rect.left) / 2;
		nY = rect.bottom - (i * 10);
		DrawIconEx((HDC)dc, nX , nY , hIcon, 16, 16, 0, (HBRUSH)hBrush, DI_IMAGE);

		Sleep(200);
	}
	return 1;
}

The problem is I don't know how to load the icon.

Anyone?

Eli D'Oh! | :doh:

What part of what control are you interested in? Some controls have text, some do not. Some have borders, some do not. For starters, there's GetBkColor().

How about GetBKColor()?

Without a specific example, I can't say for sure.

This almost sounds like "skinning." Since that technology is all about painting the various parts of a window, I'd suggest a thorough reading of it.

ActiveX control versioning

Friends,
I usually develop 'ActiveX controls' using "MFC ActiveX Wizard". In the past, i simply develop ActiveX control and distribute it along with the client side application.

This time i am in different situation. As usual, i developed a control and distribute it with my client application. But now i've enhanced the same control. I've added some new interfaces and not touched the previous interfaces. I came to know from somewhere that there is a method of proper versioning of ActiveX controls and COM components. And i am required to 'increase' the version of my activeX control before distributing it.

Can anyone tell me how to control the version of those 'ActiveX controls' which evolve with the passage of time. Also tell me the method to do so in MFC ActiveX controls.

MS Word automation

Dear Friends,
This question is related to MS-Word automation. I want to find some statistics related to the opened word document. I've already found two statistics like count of total words and count of total characters using various word-automation interfaces.

I found some statistics indirectly, for example i wanted to calculate total number of characters in Bold in my document. There is no such support directly provided in MS-Word and automation functions. However i used "Find Dialog Box" and WildCharacters property to get the total count of these characters.

So far so good. Now i want to find some other statistics but i am struggling to find out and i require your help. I want to find the total number of:

--Bullets in my document
--Fonts used in my document
--Font sizes used in my document

Can anyone tell me that how can i computee these values via directly using Word or by automation.

ctrl->alt by hooking

Hi!
I have written a small system-wide hook dll in vc++ 6, I would like to generate from the Ctrl key an ALT key.

HOW can I from a wm_keydown message a WM_SYSKEYDOWN message generate?
Because the alt key is a special key..

if the ctrl was pressed down -> in the spy the wm_syskeydown msg. to be seen,
if ctrl is repeated ->wm_syskeydown,
if ctrl is released -> wm_syskeyup to be seen

AND the Ctrl+A to became an Alt+A event.

Thanks in advance!!

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
