Sorry for the delay, I have been on vacation over Xmas.
Yes the ListBox works the same. in the Resource editor, right click the ListBox and under the Styles tab you will see the Sort checkbox. Check for Alpha , uncheck for index. The problem with sort is it cannot be toggled. It can only be assigned when the object is created. There are several excellent tutorials in the CodeProject that demonstrate the properties of ListBoxes etc.
 Happy New Year.

I'm making a simple VC6 MFC dialog application that, when you push a button, pops up a small dialog that has a progress control and an action button. When you press the button, it performs a lengthy iterative task and reports its progress via the progress control; the action button changes from "Go" to "Stop", such that a second press will cancel the lengthy task. If the task completes, it simply dismisses the dialog; if the user cancels the task, the button returns to "Go" and the dialog stays.
Not being a guru in multithreaded applications, I used my old standby peek-and-pump message dispatcher in the loop to handle the Cancel activity. I also tried for the first time to use a worker thread to perform the same task. They both worked, but the threaded version took almost 3 times as long to complete.
To distill the problem, I wrote another pair of applications that just write 1,000,000 numbers sequentially to a text file (print the for-loop iterator). I get the same result. The peek-and-pump version takes 5.2 seconds, while the thread version takes 12.5 seconds. Granted this isn't a big difference, but the original application updates a very large database and runs on the order of 2 minutes vs. 5½ minutes. Is this difference in performance to be expected?
Thanks,

My guess is you're seeing the overhead of context switching between threads. Keep track of the time since the last progress update and only report the progress every X milliseconds. 250ms is a good starting point, but you can increase that time if you don't mind fewer updates to your progress UI.

Having not written (or really considered) explicitly multithreaded applications in nearly 7 years, I had forgotten about those two words: "context switch".
Lowering the frequency of the progress update is a generally good idea, which I will implement shortly. Unfortunately, even removing the progress update completely, I'm still experiencing about a 2:1 slowdown.
I suspect this threaded program will run better--at least closer to the peek-and-pump program--when I get to my HT-enabled computer, as DavidCrow's observation would imply.
Thanks a lot!

Wow.
I forgot I had an old dual 500-MHz machine here. I changed the progress update frequency on both applications, then took this test to it. I had to bump the test up to 100,000,000 iterations to tell the difference!
The peek-and-pump program took 47.6 seconds, and the threaded program took 46.8.
You guys are awesome. I officially unfurl my brow at the worker thread. 
Thanks,

Use MoveWindow or SetWindowPos in the appropriate message handlers (I suppose you have MFC, so this must be in OnCreate, OnOpen and so on. I am not so familiar with SDI/MDI)

hey guys,
just wondering if any of you guys happen to visit the C# forum any, as I posted a question there hoping someone could help, but it seems that no one in the C# world can, or i'm just asking for the wrong info...
either way just wondering if someone could go check it out and see if they know anything...
here's the link:
http://codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?forumid=1649&fr=76&select=1312256#xx1312256xx[^]
I'm basicly trying to find a way to access info on my hardware that i know exist, have found it using other software tools, and would like to reproduce with my own code. I understand that I may run into a problem trying to access this info through managed code, so if any of you know which "yellow brick road" to follow and are willing to help me out I would appreciate it TREMENDOUSLY!!!
Thanks in advance
Merry Christmas,

the debugger says that the stack around the time1 is corrupted(runtime errot #2), but...what to do?
when i set the configurationmode to "release", it runs, but time1 isn't the value.
please help me...
thanks

try the following declaration: char time1[64];
and replace &time1 by just time1.
you are writing too many chars in your time1 in the sprintf.

sorry toxxcct, your solution worked(thx), but i'm a beginner in visual c++ (i programmed borland before) and i hate this type conversion.

if you don't like it, you won't like programming C++ sir !!!
[edit]
i don't know who is that anonymous who voted me 1 for this answer, but here is the point. In C++, we have to manage ourselves the memory allocation/dealocation on the heap, so, when one tells that he doesn't like this way of programming, it makes me laugh because it's a bigger part of the C++ usage...
now if that poor guy cannot show off himself, shame on him.

Hello,
I need to determine the pixel color of a certain area of the screen including the cursor icon.
The GetPixel function receives the pixel color _under_ then cursor 
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Mat.

Thank you for your reply but this version does the same
I'm using quite unsuccessfully right now. It captures any
pixel but the cursor icon
Mat.

You need to get the cursor bitmap, offset into the bitmap from the cursor x/y origin to the location you wish to extract and read the bitmap colors.
Try
ICONINFO sIconInfo;
GetIconInfo(GetCursor(),&sIconInfo));
to extract the image and reference the image via sIconInfo.bmColor member.
onwards and upwards...

u use the Getpixel for picture dc

or read the RGBQUADs directly...
onwards and upwards...

I tried to initalise a structure in the class

You cannot init members like that inside a structure.
Create an instance and then initialize the members
