The problem is, when
this code is run, the UpdateData(FALSE) commands resets all of
the checkboxes that were at the top of the screen (m_check1 ...
m_check19).

Which is one of the many reasons to not use the function. See here for more.

How can I update just m_check20 and m_check21 without updating
the rest of the check boxes on that page?

Have a CButton member variable for each checkbox. Use the SetCheck() and GetCheck() methods.

You could also use the CheckDlgButton function.

<br />
CheckDlgButton(IDC_CHECK20, 1);<br />
CheckDlgButton(IDC_CHECK21, 0);<br />

From MSDN:
"That manifest file must be named correctly (<your .exe="" name="">.manifest) and must be in the same directory as the .exe file for your application to take on the correct appearance"

thanks for the reply, but..

manifest file is included as a resource, not as a seperate file.

Yes, i've tried using it as a seperate file, but it does not work. (plz note, I've other exes that work correctly. The problem occurs only if I use the resource in this dll)

An actual profiler would be your best bet, but you can use GetTickCount() to get reasonably close.

I haven't used the profiler in VS2005 but the profiler in VC++6.0 is useful.
It shows the number of times a function was called in addition to the time spent there.
You can also use it to get an idea of which sections of your code are used under various circumstances.

It's not in all editions (Professional and Enterprise, IIRC) - if you have it it'll be on the Build menu, right at the bottom. You need to enable profiling in the link options first.

David Crow7-Sep-05 7:32

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

Getting and Setting Color of Toolbar

7-Sep-05 3:49

Can some please explain me the reason why values added in combobox are shown in hexa in the ".rc" i.e. the resource file while strings/caption associated it with other controls like Button, EditBox have ASCI values.

Any Logic ?

I wanted to get Color of a Dialog and set it to a toolbar. I am able to get the color of dialog.
a) How can I get color of other controls.
b) Is there some generic way where I can get background color of control. c) What if the color is gradient.
d) and wat about if it has bitmap as its background.

One other thing,

e) How can then I set a background color of a toolbar, to be more specific.
I have achieved to change bg color of static label but I am, not able to do it with toolbar. Any help ?

How to display icon on the screen???

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:

Re: Getting Color of Control

7-Sep-05 3:09

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().
