I agree with Giorgi: Thinking C++ by Eckel is really good! Also, every programmer, no matter what language, should read two books by Steve McConnell: "Code Complete", and "Rapid Development" (IMHO).
Peace!

I dunno if this is the right palce for this but i'm new to this forum so bear with me.
So i finnaly got Visual studio.net 2003 and it's great i cannot believe how stupid i was to be sticking with visual studio instead of this. There's so many new things i can do with it, includinga form based application.
But here's the problem: I want to have some sort of a connection between different forms, have one form start another but when i try to run another form and launch it from a form by calling Application::Run(new newForm); i get the following message: "starting a second message que on a thread is illegal".
i can start a new form without getting this message, or any other error by calling either Application::Exit or Form::dispose, these both kill the old form's message que instanly and allow me to run a new form. the problem here is that the new form runs and closes imediately.
I really need my program to start new forms from another, lets say when a button is pressed so any ideas guys?
i have some of my own but i dunno how to implement them:
-having the form return a value to the winmain function and let the form creation be handled there, unfortunately i dunno how to have a form return a value
and writing a return 1 in the button's code won't help as the button is declared as a void function. besided since the form is a deiiferent application from the winmain the mesage won't know where to go.
-making an invisible window and letting that run and receive messages from forms an handle the creation. i think that SendMessage or similar funtions would work but the problem here is that since the form is an external app i dunno how to get the invisible's window handle
-starting a new thread whenever a new form is to be created, this might work ut it's too complicated and due to the architecture of my app i ould rather not use it.
-calling Form::StartDialog(new newForm); won't do the trick for me although it's recomended by the error message.
One other thing, whatever method you (hopefully) propose i would like it to include some sort of external function or callback that handles the form creation as in version 2 of the app i plan to have it receive it's messages through directplay rathr than them being sent by a form running on that putter (have forms creation messages sent by a remote putter and have a sort of clien-server app).
A method that just links forms together would also be fine, actually anything would be fine.

m_imglist.Create ( 16, 16, ILC_COLOR4 | ILC_MASK, 4, 1 );
m_imglist.Add ( ::LoadIcon ( NULL, IDI_INFORMATION ));
m_imglist.Add ( ::LoadIcon ( NULL, IDI_WARNING ));
m_imglist.Add ( ::LoadIcon ( NULL, IDI_ERROR ));
I hope this helps u a little.
You can see icons in Demo->Show Balloon->Icon(this is a combo box).
What are the icons u r using ?. in which header file they are declared.

CBitmapButton myButton;
myButton.Create(NULL, WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|BS_OWNERDRAW,
CRect(10,10,100,100), pParentWnd, 1);
myButton.LoadBitmaps(IDB_UP, IDB_DOWN, IDB_FOCUS, IDB_DISABLE);
You must replace IDB_UP, IDB_DOWN, IDB_FOCUS, IDB_DISABLE with your own bitmap id's that you have imported or added to the project.

// Load the bitmaps for this button.
myButton.LoadBitmaps(IDB_UPU, IDB_DOWND, IDB_FOCUSF, IDB_DISABLEX);
------------------------------------------------------------------

Are you trying this in a dialog.
Do you already have a button. If so then you have to add a member variable for that button with type as CBitmapButton and then use AutoLoad(). And don't forget to set the ownerdrawn property to true.
m_YourBmpButton.AutoLoad(IDC_MYBUTTON, this);
and then set the images.
Perhaps you may not have to call AutoLoad(...) if you are adding a member variable.

The problem is that since u r creating button in a function, so it will be allocated on stack. and as the function is returned back ,where u are creating a button, all items are pop out of the stack. So ur button will no longer exists. Either u make it(myButton) member of class or Create the CBitmapButton object on Heap.
The code for creating on Heap is:
<br />
CBitmapButton* myButton = new CBitmapButton;<br />
myButton->Create(NULL, WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|BS_OWNERDRAW, CRect(10,10,100,100), this, 1);<br />
myButton->LoadBitmaps(IDB_UPU, IDB_DOWND, IDB_FOCUSF, IDB_DISABLEX)<br />
Plus u must call delete in ur destructor or the entry after the button is not required.
It hope it helps :P

 What's this.
You declared m_button in the constructor. You must do it in the header file.
using AutoLoad is easy. But I don't think you will need it. But any way here it is.
m_button.AutoLoad(IDC_BUTTON1, this/*parent window*/);
m_button.SetBitmaps(..........)
This should work.
Make sure that the button in the dialog has the ownerdrawn property set to TRUE
