Sorry i misquoted in my sentence, i want to say it doesn't provide Absolute Security but it is good for beginning

actaully even Highly secure application store there information inthese file only , but they encrypt the data so no body able to read that. even Windows store there data in SAM files!

Encrypt....like...for example I write some code to convert the actual password to some normally un-understandable stuff and then store it.
Is that right? Is that one way of doing it?

There is an X in the upper right corner. When the user clicks on
it, the program obviously closes.
How, in PreTranslateMessage(), can I determine that the user clicked
on that? Before any further action is taken, I want to quick ask
the user whether they want to save the contents before exiting. I
tried putting the command in other places and it just doesnt work
right.
Please, any response any one can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Danielle Brina (an overworked graduate student)

Handle the WM_CLOSE message. To stop the user closing don't pass the message on to the superclass of the window you're subclassing.

Check for WM_SYSCOMMAND and then SC_CLOSE.
When you click on those buttons on the title bar a WM_SYSCOMMAND is generated. Now what kind of event happened is determined by the wParam parameter. Check the wParam parameter to find out if X (SC_CLOSE) was clicked.
Here is a sample done with WindowProc...
LRESULT CVolMacDlg::WindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
if( message == WM_SYSCOMMAND && wParam == SC_CLOSE )
{
if( MessageBox(_T( "Are you sure you want to quit?" ), _T( "Prompt?" ), MB_YESNO ) == IDNO)
return 0;
}
return CDialog::WindowProc(message, wParam, lParam);
}Well this is done with a dialog, it will work with views too but it will require some additional housekeeping too. Hope this helps.

Hi ,
Check this out :-
(In Pretranslate Message)
if ( pMsg->message == WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN) // non client LButton Down
{
if ( pMsg->wParam == HTCLOSE) // the close button is going to be pressed
{
}
}

I have a dialog box with the Title Bar setting set to False. This means that the Minimize Bar setting is False as well. This is why I can't minimize the application when I click on the icon task bar, but I would like this to happen.Any suggestions?
Thank you!

You can send a WM_SYSCOMMAND message with wParam parameter set to SC_MINIMIZE.

i hope this code might be helpful to u.
bool bClientWinState = false;//define and declare this variable in OninitDialog(); of your application. handle the OnNotifyIcon event like this:
LRESULT CMyApplication::OnNotifyIcon(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
UINT uID;
UINT uMouseMsg;
uID = (UINT) wParam;
uMouseMsg = (UINT) lParam;
if ((uMouseMsg == WM_LBUTTONDOWN) || (uMouseMsg == WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK))
{
if(bClientWinState)
{
AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_RESTORE);
AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd->SetForegroundWindow();
bClientWinState = false;
}
else
{
AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_MINIMIZE);
this->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
bClientWinState = true;
}
}
]

good idea, just what's the message number of clicking the icon in the taskbar instead of system tray area. I think we need to respond
the message to minimize our application.

As you know, we can lock taskbar manually, But I would like to lock taskbar by my own program. I try to do it by the following code:
DWORD style = GetWindowLong(hShellTrayWnd,GWL_STYLE);
style &= ~WS_SIZEBOX;
SetWindowLong(hShellTrayWnd, GWL_STYLE, style);
Unfortunately, it didn't work as I expected. Does anyone know how to do it?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I did do it sometime back but don't have the message number with me now. 
Maybe I can give it you tomorrow.
This requires you to send a message to the taskbar asking it to lock itself. I did have the number but don't have it now.

Hi Tomas,
Your help would be greatly appreciated, in fact I send WM+USER+336 to taskbar, but it didn't work, which make me feel that it can't be done by sending a message.
And then I try another way below:
CToolBar* trayWnd = (CToolBar*)FromHandle(hShellTrayWnd);
DWORD barStyle = trayWnd->GetBarStyle();
barStyle |= CBRS_SIZE_FIXED;
trayWnd->SetBarStyle(barStyle);
It also didn't work, I was really frustrated, the style of taskbar vary every time even though I remove "trayWnd->SetBarStyle(barStyle)".
For example, sometimes barStyle is 380, but sometimes it is 376, and other times, it is another value. it is very strange for me.

Thanks.
This works on both Windows XP, 2000...
#define <code>WM_USERDEF_LOCKTASKBAR </code>424
static HWND hShellWnd = ::FindWindow(_T("Shell_TrayWnd"), NULL);
if(hShellWnd != NULL)
::PostMessage(hShellWnd, WM_COMMAND, MAKELONG(<code>WM_USERDEF_LOCKTASKBAR</code>, 0), NULL);
else
hShellWnd = ::FindWindow(_T("Shell_TrayWnd"), NULL);This will work!

It did work well, thank a lot. I have another question if you wouldn't feel disturbed, Actually I use spy to monitor taskbar, if my program send such WM_COMMAND msg to taskbar, spy can capture it.
But if I do it manually by using winxp functionality, spy didn't show this msg, that is why I always can't get this msg. Could you be so kind to teach me something about it?

Can you give me your email. I can send you a sample application, which demonstrates some useful messages related to the TaskBar.

Thanks for your help.
I mis-thought there had not benn reply yet because I didn't receive the response mail as usual, maybe last time I missed to check "Notify me by e-mail if someone answers this message".
My email is : NianHawk@invalid.hotmail.com (please discard "invalid").
Which functionality!
===> I just lock the taskbar by taskbar menu.
Best regards.

If I wish to draw a window, or an image onto the desktop, do I use obtain a HWND from GetDesktopWindow() and get a DC from there? I wish to draw onto the desktop , so that my image appears as though it were part of the wallpaper, e.g. all other windows sit on top of it.
Is there another HWND I should be looking for?

Create DC by using this method
CDC myDC(NULL);
