Create your own control classes and make them owner drawn, then you can draw them however you like.
Or if it's an established UI, such as the Outlook look and feel, buy a product like the Ultimate Toolbox and get it all out of the box.

Thanks...and I have one follow up question.
How do I do that?
Thanks again...

I guess the easiest way would be to look at some articles on this site for things like custom buttons. They will be owner drawn and hopefully the articles will step through the process involved, and give you a feel for how much work is involved.

i searched trough msdn for some nice c++ code,but didn`t found what i was looking for.
Thanx.

Hi all,
I'm stuggling to resolve a memory leak. The code below gets updated every few seconds and changes the image displayed depending on the state of m_bOn..
CDC* pDC = CDC::FromHandle( lpDrawItemStruct->hDC );
if ( pDC )
{
CRect rect = lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem;
int nSavedDC = pDC->SaveDC();
pDC->SelectStockObject( NULL_BRUSH );
pDC->FillSolidRect( rect, ::GetSysColor( COLOR_BTNFACE ) );
if( m_bOn )
{
pDC->BitBlt( m_ptCentre.x, m_ptCentre.y, m_nWidth, m_nHeight, &m_dcMem, 1 * m_nWidth, 0, SRCCOPY );
}
else
{
pDC->BitBlt( m_ptCentre.x, m_ptCentre.y, m_nWidth, m_nHeight, &m_dcMem, 0 * m_nWidth, 0, SRCCOPY );
}
pDC->RestoreDC( nSavedDC );
}
I know the leak is here somewhere but I can't see what would be wrong! I'd really appreciate some help or some pointers in the right direction.
Many thanks
Tom

Does this have a return value ? When you select your own brush, a pointer to the old brush is returned and you need to grab it and select it back in to avoid a memory leak.

Hi,
I have been attempting to extract the "Menu Bar" layout of MS Office Apps, say MS Word. I would appreciate any help. Here is my problem description.
MS Office "Menu Bar" is not accessible using the normal Windows HWND handles. However, they expose the IAccessible interface, which I am trying to use. The handle to the top level "Menu Bar" is first obtained, call it h. The "AccessibleObjectFromWindow()" function is then used with the handle h, in an attempt to get an IDispatch pointer to the menu. Here is the code snip.
IDispatch** ppMenu = NULL;
DWORD OBJID_NATIVEOM = ((LONG)0xFFFFFFF0);
int r = AccessibleObjectFromWindow(h, OBJID_NATIVEOM, IID_IDispatch, (void**)ppMenu);
if (r == S_OK) {printf("S_OK\n");}
if (r == E_INVALIDARG) {printf("E_INVALIDARG\n");}
if (r == E_NOINTERFACE) {printf("E_NOINTERFACE\n"); }
However, the returned value is always E_INVALIDARG. The handle 'h' has been obtianed by (recursively) enumeraing all windows (and child windows) of the MS Word top level window and selecting the one with name="Menu Bar" and class="MsoCommandBar".
I believe, the id OBJID_NATIVEOM is required for Office apps, since they implement their own menu.
If someone has any thoughts or experience with this type of situation, I would really apreciate their help.
Regards,
Ishan.

Hi!
I'm coding a cache for Dynamic Object Loading. I'm using a third party library that throws some exceptions when it doesn't find the dynamic library that is requested. The thing is that I would like to store somewhere those exceptions and associate them to the object that the client was looking for. This way I could save a call to the third party library when I know that last time it failed: I would directly throw the exception that I saved the first time it failed (I also have a timer to clean up these associations and look for the library again...but that doesn't matter). The problem is that I don't know how to store in a container the exceptions, without risking to commit slicing and without hard coding the exceptions types of the third party library?
I would really appreciate any suggestion that you can give me.
Thanks,
Federico

 hi im new to windows programming and i am studiing the book in dutch
so sorry for my bad english.
problem is this:
i can't get data from dialog box 1 in to dialog box 2
kan anny one tel me wy this is
thank you verry much m.t. dijkstra
this is the litle program
www.palcopy.com/down_load/comunication_between_variabel_of_2_windows.zip
you can down load it frome my home page
the problem is in
m_waardeChild = a box in the 2th window where the text must be displayed
and
m_TestOutput = a input box in the 1th window where you come in !!!!
this is wat the second window must do
if in the second dialog is kliked on buton problem
then get input variabel frome 1 dialog en write it down in second window
but it dos not work????
void CChildDialog::OnBUTTONproblem()
{
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
// m_waardeChild = "this works";
// m_waardeChild = CComunicationbetweenvariabelof2windowsDlg.m_TestOutput;// dos not work
// m_waardeChild = CComunicationbetweenvariabelof2windowsDlg->m_TestOutput;// dos not work
m_waardeChild = CComunicationbetweenvariabelof2windowsDlg* m_TestOutput;
// can anny one tel me how this works in c++ i dont understand
// to get data from the other window up in here?????
UpdateData(FALSE);
}
thank's verry much for helping

Which of these two best describes the relationship between the two dialogs?
Are both dialogs owned by the same parent:
parent
/ \
dlg 1 dlg 2Or does one dialog own the other:
parent
|
dlg 1
|
dlg 2
"Take only what you need and leave the land as you found it." - Native American Proverb
|
|
|
|
|
parent
|
dlg 1
like this
in parent there is a variabel
in
dlg
there is a function who wil get the variabel frome the parent
void CChildDialog::OnBUTTONproblem()
{
geting data frome dlg1
}
how is this manegd
thank's verry much for helping

There are several ways to do this. The easiest, although not considered good OO practice, is to mark the variable as public in the parent class. Then in the child, simply call GetParent(). Or, mark the variable as private and use a get/set method instead.
Also, you could add the same type of variable to the child, mark it as public, and assign it a value before calling the dialog's DoModal() method.

m_TestOutput is in main window and is public
this is standing in dialog 1 under buttonproblem
void CChildDialog::OnBUTTONproblem() <br />
{<br />
CWnd *CParentWindow = GetParent();
<br />
m_waardeChild = CParentWindow->m_TestOutput;
<br />
<br />
UpdateData(FALSE); <br />
}
get folowing error

My first suggestion would be to lose the calls to UpdateData(). They are unnecessary and will only confuse you further. Using SetWindowText() and GetWindowText() instead is much cleaner and less error-prone.
Mathieu Dijkstra wrote: m_waardeChild = CParentWindow->m_TestOutput;// dos not work ether
The compiler is telling you exactly what the problem is. Try:
CComunicationbetweenvariabelof2windowsDlg *pParent;
pParent = (CComunicationbetweenvariabelof2windowsDlg *) GetParent();
m_waardeChild = pParent->m_TestOutput;

Again, the compiler is telling you the problem. You have referenced an identifier that has not been declared. You need to include Comunicationbetweenvariabelof2windowsDlg.h at the top of ChildDialog.cpp.

Hi there! I'm writting an app that deals a lot with files (both reading and writting) and that is slowing down my app.
What I need is a fast way to do the following operations on files:
- read
- writte
- append
- open
- close
I'm using c++ but inline assembly is an option.
Thx!

What APIs are you using for File I/O? Have you done any profiling to see where the bottlenecks are?
Since File I/O is extremly slow compared to memory I/O, I don't think you'll see much difference between C++ and assembly. Without knowing more about you app, it's difficult to give any advice.

I am writting a file compressing app.
But, for now, I'm just improving/optimizing the compressing algorithm that I'm using.
This algorithm as to writte a lot of bytes on several files (depending on the original file's size) and I'm using fwrite(), fopen(), fclose(), fseek() and fread() from stdio.h.
bottlenecks - I don't known what that is!
Is this helpfull? Thx!
