I test tooltip for you and this is your answer

m_tooltip.Create(this);
SetToolTip("ADAD");

void CAnswerView::SetToolTip(LPCTSTR lpText)
{
TOOLINFO ti;

ti.cbSize = sizeof(TOOLINFO);
ti.lpszText = (LPTSTR)lpText;
ti.hinst = AfxGetInstanceHandle();
ti.hwnd = GetDlgItem(IDC_BUTTON1)->m_hWnd;

ti.uFlags = TTF_SUBCLASS | TTF_IDISHWND;
ti.uId = (UINT) GetDlgItem(IDC_BUTTON1)->m_hWnd;

m_tooltip.SendMessage(TTM_ADDTOOL, 0, (LPARAM) &ti);
}

you can change IDC_button1 to your hWnd

You can show or hide a window by CWnd::ShowWindow (nShow); where nShow is either SW_SHOW or SW_HIDE. You need to use modeless Dialog boxes in order to be able to pass command from one dialog to another.

Programs created with MFC expects supporting MFC dll in the target system. and when compared with Win32SDK programs , MFC weighs a little more heavier.
Expect these, MFC doesn't give you any other drawbacks. and BTW when you compare in the reverse way, i mean, when you look at the
complexity of a Win32SDK program, you'll realize how affordable the few extra KBs are. MFC has everything readymade. it just tells you wheels have been invented already.

It's not 100% compliant to C++ standards. However, that is only a drawback if it negatively affects what you are doing. For the projects that I have been working on since 1993 or so, being compliant was not a requirement. Your requirements may be such that compliance is a must.

There are others, too. Folks that prefer STL will no doubt have more to say on the subject.

How to maintain the button in pressed state

HI,
Thanks In Advance.

I am creating a Dialog Based Application for getting the current Time and displaying the time in the Edit Box. I got it using COleDateTime class. But i want to get the seconds Edit Box to be Updated continuously.I mean the application to be in running state.

void CTimeDlg::OnTime()
{
COleDateTime d,t;
d = t.GetCurrentTime();
m_hour = d.GetHour();
m_min = d.GetMinute();
m_sec = d.GetSecond();
UpdateData(FALSE);

// I tried the below line but in vain.
// I realized that OnTime() method is BN_CLICKED event
OnTime();
}

Here i want to call the OnTime() method repeatedly. Is it possible to do so?

Look up the SetTimer API - It should do the trick.

I think you want to display the current time in a EditBox

Use SetTimer to Set a Timer preferable in OnInitDialog

SetTimer(2500,1000,NULL);

this is fire WM_TIMER every second

Use ClassWizard to handle WM_TIMER message

.....::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent)<br />
{<br />
     //Calculate the current time<br />
     //Use SetWindowText instead of UpdateData for Performance reasons<br />
<br />
     CDialog::OnTimer(nIdEvent);<br />
}

This is probably not the best way (cause of the delays) but will work

Hope it helps
