Hi everybody,
can anybody please direct me to a web site or an article (I could not find anything helpful) about how to make controls to be transparent. I use Visual Studio 2005 to make a Visual C++ dialog based application, and I use ATL only. Even though I specify a static control should be transparent, it is not. The background is static, it does not change, but neither static controls nor the captions of group box controls are rendered transparently.
Thanks for your help.

Okay, I found it:
I need to handle the message OnCtlColorStatic:
::SetBkMode((HDC)wParam, TRANSPARENT);
return (LRESULT) GetStockObject (HOLLOW_BRUSH);
and my static controls are all transparent.
But I can still not make group box captions to be trtansparent.
Thanks.

Good luck with a trackbar control as well

Haha...no, I am not going to deal with that one. Anyways, if you know how to make the group box caption transparent, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Same problem with a groupbox. You can make it owner drawn and draw it yourself (it's a button).
If only WM_EX_TRANSPARENT style was implemented for all controls...

How can a user-mode client achieve direct access to kernel streaming(KS) filter in video capture? I know there is a sample from microsoft using KS in audio rendering and capture. Is KS feasible in video capture? Any suggesion and samples will be appreciated.

I'm doing some experiments on generic algorithms and I have a problem getting for_each to work. The documentation isn't really clear on how to use this algorithm and I was hoping anybody can help me with a small sample on how to use the for_each algorithm.

(copy pasted from the SGI stl pages.
template<class T> struct print : public unary_function<T, void>
{
print(ostream& out) : os(out), count(0) {}
void operator() (T x) { os << x << ' '; ++count; }
ostream& os;
int count;
};
int main()
{
int A[] = {1, 4, 2, 8, 5, 7};
const int N = sizeof(A) / sizeof(int);
print<int> P = for_each(A, A + N, print<int>(cout));
cout << endl << P.count << " objects printed." << endl;
}
for_each will loop the elements in the sequence ( bounded by the range ), and apply the operator to each element and then returns the count.
in this case, it will print each item in the array.
it's a shortcut to a normal for loop.

Thanks for the sample, this explains it 
I knew it was a shortcut for a for-loop, but I didn't expect it to be this complicated for a beginner.

the learning curve for STL is steep; once you get the grip of it, it's a ton'o'fun.

It doesn't have to be that complicated. Consider this example:
-----------
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
void PrintInt(int num)
{
using namespace std;
cout << num << " ";
}
void main()
{
using namespace std;
vector<int> Values;
for (int i=1; i<=10; ++i)
{
Values.push_back(i);
}
for_each(Values.begin(), Values.end(), PrintInt);
cout << endl;
}

In the .H file, the member function is defined as:
ToggleFreezeRequest(const int i = -1);
In the .CPP file, the member function is:
void CSystemControlData::ToggleFreezeRequest(const int value)
{
.
.
.
}
When this member function is being called, it is thus:
sysCtrl.ToggleFreezeRequest();
I'm confused as to what is actually happening here. What is actually happening when the member function is called from somewhere in the code? Does the parameter ever change from being set to -1?
Thanks for helping to "de-confuse" me on this.

The function has a default parameter, i.e. if it's called without specifying the parameter (e.g. ToggleFreezeRequest()) then
the the value of the parameter will be the default one (-1). On the other hand, if you call it passing the actual value (e.g. ToggleFreezeRequest(6) or ToggleFreezeRequest(n)) then the default value it's overidden by the passed one.
Moreover, the formal parameter it is declared as a const, meaning that the function cannot change the value passed.

i is assigned a value of -1 if no argument is supplied. It's called the default argument.

Yes, if another argument is supplied.

Thank you, gentlemen. That makes it all clear. Much obliged.

It means ToggleFreezeRequest() takes an int parameter called i, and if the calling code doesn't specify a parameter, i is set to -1 by default. All the const means is that i can't be changed in ToggleFreezeRequest().

Are you sure you didn't mean to say infant? You asked this question less than 24 hours ago here[^]. Perhaps you should go and read the suggestions you were given and actually try coding something.

I've installed Visual Studio 2005 since few days and in trying to perform projects porting from Visual Studio 6.0.
I've always worked with Visual Studio 6.0 since now.
In Visual Studio 2005 I can't find something like MFC Class Wizard present in Visual Studio 6.0. Is there a tool in Visual Studio 2005 to be used to map windows messages and events, to add DDX variables, and all other things I can do with MFC Class Wizard in Visual Studio 6.0 directly with the sinple right click of the mouse ?
Thanks a lot !

To add members just right click the class and use the popup menu. Events are in the "Properties" view.

I'd like to manage a "home made" data base completely in flat 'C. To be clear, not using (or interfacing with) any DBMS like ORACLE, MySQL, etc. .
The only functions I need are : Create an index, seek (according to a specific index), go to the first, last, next, previous record.
I do NOT need any kind of "query" manipulation (I will do it all programmatically).
What I'd like: a very light weigth library which I can call in flat 'C, free (if possible) or low cost (else).
