You need to copy this code to your program and it work its not hard You can insert one button n your dialog and declare a variable for this button from type this class CMyButton not button and se BS_OWNERDRAW to true for button now you can see affect
for exmpale

<br />
(1)CMyButton m_Button;<br />
Button.ModifyStyle(0,BS_OWNERDRAW)<br />

1)Yes we can change the style of the button. Make it owner draw etc.
2)You can derive a class from CBitmapButton and then put an image in the button
3)yes a button can be place in the title bar (we have minimize, close buttons over there)
4) yes the button of the color and its text can be changed

You can derive a class for the button from CBitmapButton and use LoadBitmap function to load the picture on the button.
You can change the text using the SetWindowText etc
I hope that I made myself clear

what it mean in C++-> TCHAR

See TCHAR is defined as follows

#ifdef UNICODE
typedef WCHAR TCHAR;
#else
typedef char TCHAR;

max path is the sum of

_MAX_DIR + _MAX_DRIVE + _MAX_EXT + _MAX_FNAME + _MAX_PATH

it means that there's is char(if ASCII) or wchar_t (if Unicode) array of size MAX_PATH

you can see these definitions, if you press F12 after selecting the requried definition (e.g TCHAR)

From the MSDN:

TCHAR<br />
The TCHAR data type is a Win32 character string that can be used to describe ANSI, DBCS, or Unicode strings. For ANSI and DBCS platforms, TCHAR is defined as follows:<br />
<br />
typedef char          TCHAR;<br />

TCHAR is a character data type definition.
If your program has a UNICODE configuration build, then it is defined as wchar_t. Otherwise it is simply defined as char

So your definition would resolve to:

<br />
char IncompleteFilePath[MAX_PATH];<br />

, for a non-Unicode app.

.lib file is a static library file or DLL implicit linking file?

Hello everyone,

If I am given a .lib file, how can I check whether the .lib file is a static library file (archive of obj files) or DLL implicit linking file? I have such confusion since they both use the same extension name .lib.

regards,
George

Return a different color brush from OnCtlColor for static controls

if (pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID () == IDC_STATIC)
{
return CreateSolidBrush (RGB(255,0,0));
}

I have already provided the example. You just need to add these lines of code in the OnCtlColor method(See My previous post) to change the color of the static controls on the dialog.
