Is it possible to change the boring Icon when you create an ActiveX control in VS 7.1
The default - rectangle with circle is pants!

Select the resource->Bitmap->IDB_ATLCON
Here you can draw a new Bitmap or import a bitmap file.
And delete the existing IDB_ATLCON and give the same name to new Bitmap.

This resource does not exist in either project that created or used the ActiveX.
The default Icon that appears in the ToolBox is OCX (thats the project using the ActiveX), but get the silly Rectangle with cirle on the dialog at the design time.

I want to make a program which do a fake input. It sounds a foolish program, but I want to make it for a special purpose. I run an application (ex. a game like Age of Empire, Starcraft, so on). And then I run my program. My program create a window (use CreateWindowEx()), and now, I want anything I do on this window will do on that application (I move the mouse, the mouse(pointer) in that application move, I click the mouse, the mouse in that application click, ...).
I tried to get a handle of that application and send message to it (use FindWindowEx() and SendMessage() ) but nothing happened. I also tried SendInput() and AttachThreadInput(), but I failed too.
It may be really foolish, but my program need to do a task like it. Could you help me solve this problem ?

i dont know the exact solution,
the games like these use directinput, it is part of the DirectX package.

The game is not very important, I mean any application, such as Notepad, Paint, Wordpad ....

It didnt work at all. I'm sure send message which use SendMessage successfully ( try WM_CLOSE and it worked). But if try to send message WM_MOUSEMOVE, WM_LBUTTONDOWN or WM_KEYDOWN nothing happen. I used Spy++ and did a copy, but nothing happened. That's why I cant understand.

I feel like I've answered this question at least three times but here we go again. Faking input using the PostMessage or PostMessage API is a hit and miss affair - It will work for some applications and not so well, if at all, with others. The reason is that there is more information associated with a message other then the HWND, the message, the WPARAM and the LPARAM. To access this extra information you use APIs such as GetMessagePos and GetMessageTime. Then there is software that calls functions such as GetAsyncKeyState (this also works for mouse buttons).
This is the reason for the SendInput API - This is what you use to fake input - Unless you're faking for a particular app and you know the message techniques work.
If the application uses DirectInput I'm not sure how you would proceed and if the SendInput will work. This would probably only be an issue for games.

I'm not sure on the details but this site has something to say (and something to offer) on DirectInput and faking input.

I need to display a file encoded in EUC-JA in an edit control. The app is unicode and the edit control uses Arial MS Unicode, but the file is printed as garbage.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanx.

Hi everybody... did any of you work with GetTextExtentPoint32 or GetTextMetrics? 'cause I'm having a weird issue with this stuff.
I got a BOLD font... created with CreateFont and I specified at Weight the value 900 which should be ultra bold... Black. But when I call GetTextMetrics to retrieve it's data, the tmOverhang member is always 0.
<br />
hdcControl = GetDC(hwndControl);<br />
GetTextMetrics(hdcControl, &tmControl);<br />
If I do then GetTextExtentPoint32 on my text (it's about 20 letters), it will erroneously give me a bigger pixel size than I need (with a surplus of about 30 pixels). So I guess I should use tmOverhang to counter-act that surplus, but how can I do it if tmOverhang is always 0!?
Thank you ::- ).

Calculating its total width in pixels. GetTextExtentPoint32 returns stupid values.

Problem solved, don't bother with it any more (it was a problem between the chair and the keyboard).

Yeah this will happen because the exe looks for files in it's path i.e the path from where it started up(not always) i.e. desktop. You've got to mention the filename path to solve this.
Or else you can do this.
Put the file where the exe is.
Then you use this function to get the path of the exe:
GetModuleFileName(...)
Append this path to the file name. Then it will work always.

Hi,
If you have a file other than your application's folder, then you should tell the exact path statically to your application.
If you are storing the file in your application or temporary or system folders then you can use functions to get the file's folder.
