Cool, that is what I was looking for. Thanks.
Now one more thing - is there any preprocessor variable that indicates what compiler is compiling the code? I want to write this macro seperately once for VC8 and once for VC6/VC7 so that the code can still be compiled with the older compiler, just in case someone wants to use the older compilers.
thanks!

Guys,
* How to find my system get connected to LAN alone
not internet.
* IsNetworkAlive() API results in compilation error. AS
It requires Sensapi.h and its not found in my sysem.
where could I get this file?.
You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong.

Download latest PSDK from MSDN site or seach cds comes with MSDN subscriptions.

Try using this.
DWORD flags;
BOOL chk=InternetGetConnectedState(&flags, NULL);
if(chk)
AfxMessageBox("Connected");
else
AfxMessageBox("Not Connected");

Greetings,
I'm new to VC++ and the MFC (been programming text based games in C for 10 years) and I've decided to give VC++ a shot. I have worked with some DirectX 8 and 9 over the last few months (modifying what someone else wrote and using MSDN to understand it all). Anyways, what I'm trying to do is create an application that will do a couple things:
1.) Copy the pixel/bitmap information of the center of the screen (let's say 50x50 pixels)
2.) Draw a black box in the center of the screen (multiple of the above [1.5-4x])
3.) Scale the stored pixel/bitmap information to match the size of the box.
4.) Draw the new bitmap in the box.
Also, I'm wondering if it is possible to make this an overlay to some fullscreen application (for example a 3D game). The purpose of this application is to offer a "zoom" function in Blizzard's World of Warcraft MMORPG game. I have managed to hook DirectX and then modifying the Field of View (which works wonderfully), but I have come across a problem. Due to the nature of my code (hooking Dx9), the game thinks I'm using some type of cheat. Blizzard froze my account and after explaining what I was doing (and sending them my code), they unbanned me and told me I'd have to come up with a different method that did not involve attaching to WoW's process. The person I spoke with said that my little project was such a good idea that he'd pass it on to the dev-team. This is all fine and good, but I am now very curious as to how I can go about this independently of the game. Besides, I'm sure the dev-team won't have this feature in the game for quite some time (if they even consider it needed).
I figure the best approach would be using GDI/GDI+ for this, unless it is possible to do in DirectX or OpenGL without hooking WoW's process. I just have no idea where to start looking for information. Most of my searching has turned up articles on the inefficiency of GetPixel() and how using other GDI functions is much more efficient. Or I come across some pre-built application with no source code to learn from  . On another note, I'm wondering if my overlay will "flicker" due to the fact the game is rendering constantly (90-100 frames per second) and my application will just render as fast as it can loop (without hording the CPU). I know that some applications can place overlays on games without a problem (such as xFire) and I wonder how.
Any ideas, snippets, or places of intrest to look?
Thanx so much,
Rapture2k4

I am new to DirectX, and very cofused by your question.
As I know, capturing screen is very easy in DirectX, then StrechBlt() the image captured to larger area - this is all you need to do.
I hope I understand your question correctly.
by the way, do you know how to capture screen faster in DirectX? - I mean, by what functions or packge (DirectShow, DirectDraw etc.)? My current program is about capture screen, I need to capture full screen in 50 ms, but I can not do it, I can not capture so fast.

Well, I dunno which method you use, but I found this one (I haven't tested it yet):
http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/screencap.asp#And%20The%20DirectX%20way%20of%20doing%20it%20:
I'm sure it is faster then 50ms.

I had downloaded all software before here, but none of them was faster than 50 ms.
I will test the one you suggested - I can not remember if I downloaded it before.
cheers.

how is your string stored ? char* ( or equivalent ), CString or std::string ?
with char* : stricmp
with CString : CString::CompareNoCase
with std::string : I don't know

My string is stored as char*.
It seems that stricmp can only determine the compared value of two string, isn't it?
Moreover, if I decide to change the design and use Cstring, do I need to include any header file? Is there any limitation I shoud pay attention to?
Thanks for your help.

This is written in C, but should work just fine in C++.
/*************************************************************************************************/
#define TO_LOWER(letter) ((letter) >= 'A' && (letter) <= 'Z' ? (letter)+'a'-'A' : (letter))
bool string_cmp(const char *StringA, const char *StringB)
{
/* If either string is NULL, they don't match */
if (StringA == NULL || StringB == NULL)
return false;
for (; *StringA || *StringB; StringA++, StringB++)
{
if (TO_LOWER(*StringA) != TO_LOWER(*StringB))
return false;
}
return true;
}

if you are using Visual C++.net as your compiler then include atlstr.h for using CString in your project otherwise if you are using VS6 then you have to download WTL package for Cstring Class

How to get the value of the value of variable in child frame.
Could any one let me know?

From the MDI Frame call GetActiveFrame()
From the active frame call GetActiveDocument()
