That is correct. With highly volatile dialog boxes, that might be an issue, but these dialog boxes have not had any major changes in years.

I am using it. Thanks. Still there is a problem
I have a group of three radio buttons. In that only first has "Group" checked in the properties.(as required, because only one of those should be selected)
problem is I can add variable only to that one and can hide only that one using ShowWindow(SW_HIDE)
Other radio buttons, ones without group property does not get hidden.
HOW TO DO THAT  ??

You need a CButton variable for each radio button. You can do this via ClassWizard, but it will require that you temporaily add the WS_GROUP style to each of the three radio buttons. Once you get a CButton variable for each radio button, go back and remove the WS_GROUP style from all but the first radio button control.

Hi,
How could I get all the section names in an ini?
I know the below.
dwLen = GetPrivateProfileString( NULL, NULL, lpDefault, lpResult, nSize, lpFileName );
It will store all the section names to lpResult. But how can I estimate the nSize, when I am unknown about the section name count and size?
I have to find the nSize first, to allocate the memory for lpResult sothat I can get all the section names. What would be the solution?
Thank you.

Nothing is there related to my context...
It is for simple read and write...

Three remarks:
1. GetPrivateProfileString is usually used to handle one entry at a time, which entry you of course know the size of.
2. For entries which have no fixed size (strings), you can take a default size for your buffer (MAX_PATH ?) or you can associate another key of size integer which contains the size of the string.
3. Same for keys that contain various amount of subkeys (like most recent used lists, and so), you usually store a parallel key containing the amount of keys to read.
So, if the information has been written properly, there should be a key containing the size you are needing.
If not, you are probably trying to read too much at a time and need to read the keys recursively.
A dirty trick to achieve what you are trying to do, is to do a loop in which you check the returned value dwLen against the buffer size nSize. Increment nSize until it is different from dwLen, in this case you are sure that everything has been read properly. Something like (this is pseudocode):
while (sizeread >= nSize)
{
nSize+=1024
sizeread=ReadKey(nSize)
}
This snippet obviously does not work, but I think you can get the idea.

I understood... but what i need is:
An ini file contains a lot of sections and keys.
I have to get the section names' list.
GetPrivateProfileSection(...) will return all section names as a null seperated list. Actually I need to get the length of this list.
This ini file is from an out side source, so I cannot expect the section names' count or size.
In this situation one method that I think to do is specify a very higher size ( about 32K ).
Could you please tell me your opinion about this?
Thank you.

This is very memory consuming. I would suggest to use my second method: Read in the key names using ::GetPrivateProfileSectionNames ( this give you only the names, with which you can retrieve the keys later) as long as the return value is equal to the size of your buffer minus two, and increase dynamically the size of the buffer at each step.
MSDN quote : If the buffer is not large enough to contain all the section names associated with the specified initialization file, the return value is equal to the length specified by nSize minus two.

Ok... Thank you...
But what about the performance? I have no idea about how windows handles ini files...

Ini files are now obsolete, replaced by entries in the registry. It was a normal text file, read in as a normal text file, and keys were searched for using normal string search functions.
Performance of course will highly depend on the size of your file and the number of entries in it. If you see that it requires too much run to get the approximative good size, increase the the size in each loop with higher size steps.

Yes... fine...

I actually like .INI files. Place an .INI file with settings in the application folder and you don't have to worry about orphaned registry entries when the application folder is deleted. If I'm writing a program I aim, within reason, to make it installable simply by copying files, uninstallable by simply deleting them and no littering of the system. Obviously this is not always possible or economical but it's a good aim as users, especially "non-expert" users, often try to uninstall an application by deleting the application folder.

While it is true that they are just text files, an API exists for reading from, and writing to, them. See the functions near the bottom of this link.

32KB is very memory consuming? Since when? Anything less than 1MB is trivial.

Just allocate several KB and you'll be fine.

Does the GetEffectiveRightsFromAcl() function return the effective permission of a trustee by combining the ntfs permissions and the share level permissions?

how can create exe file from my application
I use visuall c++.net
Thank you

If you are sure that it is an EXE project, then click build to build the executable file.

When you build your project, the exe file is automatically generated. If you are in debug mode, look in the debug folder (in your porject folder) and if you are in release mode, look at the release folder. Your exe should be there (unless you have specified another directory for the executable file in your project settings).
