I am having problems executing a project with WRAPI, I am using Visual
Studio 2005, a Windows XP SP2 (32 bit) machine, and I installed Win
DDK "windows xp sp1 ddk" (2600.1106).

I added the WrapiTest.cpp file from the WRAPI site into a new MFC project, copied WRAPI.dll
and WRAPI.lib into the project's folder, added #pragma comment(lib,
"WRAPI.lib"),
and added C:\WINDDK\2600.1106\src\network\ndis\ndisuio\sys as an
additional library in my project settings (in that folder resides
nuiouser.h).

The project compiles just fine but at execution I am getting error
"This application has failed to start because MFC42D.DLL was not
found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." I am
pretty sure this error connects with my project's settings: General ->
Use of MFC -> Use MFC in a share DLL and Settings -> C/C++ -> Code
Generation -> Runtime Library -> Multi-threaded Debug DLL (/MDd).

I just don't understand what the WRAPI site means with:

MSVCRT.dll (Multithreaded Debug and Release versions of the standard
C-runtime library)
MFC42.dll (Multithreaded Debug and Release versions of the MFC runtime library)

I downloaded this dll's and copied into my project's folder and then
became other errors so I undid this.

Google didnt help me that much, so any Feedback in more than welcome.

Is there another way to set up a WLAN (also AdHoc) programatically?

Thanks.

Is this file present on the target machine?

No, it wasn't, so I downloaded it, and then the same error came, but for MSVCRT.dll, so I downloaded it too, but then became error "The ordinal 5077 could not be located in the dynamic link library MFC42D.DLL"

You are trying to distribute a debug version of your program on a machine that does not have Visual Studio installed. Do you really want to do this? If not, compile a release version and distribute that instead.

I was compiling the a release, and executing that build in my own machine with VS 2005, thus it was weird that it was asking for a "D" dll.

I created my own class that talks to NDISUIO driver, because I couldnt use WRAPI, but thank you anyway for your help.

MFC Rebar control

I have created a CRebar control and added several toolbars and dialog bars to it. The rebar control seems to maximize the first toolbar so that the rebar fits across the screen. Is there a way to make it minimize all toolbar controls so that the rebar is "left justified"?

I would appreciate any suggestions!

Thanks!

Assuming you creating threads for a windows platform. Use the CreateThread() method
look at the link below.
You will require a kernell32.dll

Since the others answered the the thread reference, I will briefly answer this. yes, absolutely. I've run threads from Windows 2k forward in massive quantities from consoles to windows GUI apps. As mentioned it is the dll reference.

Just remember there are issues with threads, reentrant code, blocking, race conditions, etc.

_beginthread and _beginthreadex are generally better then using CreateThread - You can get into trouble using CRT functions from a thread created using the CreateThread API. See here.

Have you tried NetShareEnum() or NetShareGetInfo()?

Look up the NetShareGetInfo function in MSDN. Scroll down. See the table at the bottom where it tells you what library the function is implemented in?

"Link to Netapi32.lib.

Link to Svrapi.lib in Windows Me/98/95."

Your question is not worded very well, but I think you want to add your application's icon to the system tray.
Check this function. There are many articles here on CP on systray icons.
Shell_NotifyIcon(...);

And actually it is called windows explorer or explorer, not internet explorer.
Now if you want to add a button to the internet explorer's toolbar, that is a different matter. That will be a BHO (Browser Helper Object).

this is this.

Changing the background color of a STATIC control

Hi everybody. I'm running into a bit of a complication when creating a window of the class "Static". I want to create using CreateWindowEX a simple text label. All went fine until I wanted to change the background color and text color. I can set the font ok, but when it comes to colors, I simply can't understand what to do! Here's how I create the window, with the necessary comments.

hwndControl = CreateWindowEx //Creating the window.
(
NULL, //ExStyles.
"Static", //Class name.
Text, //Text of the label, appears ok, using the font I give it.
WS_CHILD, //Styles.
0, //X.
0, //Y.
100, //Width.
30, //Height.
hwndThis, //Parent.
NULL, //Menu.
(HINSTANCE)hwndThis, //This is the handle of a window which contains this window.
NULL //CreateStruct.
);

hwndThis is a handle of another window, a WS_POPUP. I created that window too, and in it, I want to load this new window, the label.

So how do I change the colors? I subclassed this window but I don't receive any WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC or WM_CTLCOLOR messages. I only get WM_PAINT, WM_NCPAINT and WM_ERASEBKGND. I don't want to totally rewrite the paint since that would totally miss the point of me creating this Static control: I want to benefit from Window's wrapping and aligning the text.

Thank you in advance for your help ::- ).

For those who don't know, this is for a freeware application I'm working on, anybody that helps me will do so for a good cause, and will be mentioned in the Thanks section.

Handle WM_ERASEBKGND, and set the color of the DC you get in OnEraseBackground to the color you like.
