Sorry for stupid qestion..
In MFC dialog based applications I used WM_INITDIALOG message handler to do various stuff (setting CListCtrl columns etc.).
Now I`ve created an SDI MFC application with CFormView as base class. The closest message handler I can find here is WM_CREATE, which doesn`t suite my needs (it gets called to early - m_listctrl.InsertColumn() fails because there is no m_listctrl at this time).
Please help!
Which message handler do I use here?

That must an MFC thing.
To the op:
WM_CREATE and WM_CREATEDIALOG are sent during the call to CreateWindow() and CreateDialog(). The window is not created until after these messages have been processed. So it's not the best of places to initialize window dependent data.
One method I often use, from the WM_CREATE handler, call PostMessage() with your own WM_APP + XXX message. This is guarenteed to be the first message you get making it perfect for setting any data.

I would like to port one of my Visual Studio 6 application to Visual Studio Express 2005. I would like to be able to use Viusal Studio Express 2005 because I can't shell the money that is required to purchase the full edition of Visual Studio since the projects I am working on are mostly personal projects.
I have looked at Visual Studio Express 2005 and I discovered that it does not support MFC. My application Is fairly small in size and complexity. One dialog box with a menu. The main function is to send and receive data on the serial port when the user clicks on a button. I have started looking around for how I can port my app and I figured maybe using something like wxWidgets would make sense for the GUI part of the app. Now, I don't know what I should use for the serial communications aspects of my app. I need to be able to send data asynchronously. The other aspects is the use of some base functions for data manipulation. For instance, I am using CMap to store data in memory. My understanding is that these functions are not availalble anymore in Visual Studio Express. What can I use to replace these functions? STL? Is there an open source version of it that would work with Visual Studio Express?
Can someone give me pointers?
I do not want to use Managed code, because I want my app to run outside of .NET. I want my app to be a small executable that doesn't require proprietary .DLLs so that I can package all in one installer and doesn't any addtional download or install.

That makes sense. Once you've worked with MFC, it will be very easy to use wxWidget, their usage is quite similar.

 Well, what did you use in your VC6 application ? I don't remember that it exist MFC classes for serial communication. You could simply use the plain API functions (like CreateFile, ReadFile, ...). anyway, you can find a lot of existing classes for serial communication on codeproject.

Well, first, these are not functions but classes. And yes, you can use the STL which is distribute with the express edition (wow, I cannot imagine that somebody can distribute a compiler without STL libraries, even for free  )
There is also a map in the STL.

Hi all friends.
How is it possible to generate sound alarm via Sound Card without using any multi media file ?
similar to Beep(,) that we determine sound frequence .
thanks .

Why can't you use Beep()? It does precisely what you said you wanted.

Turn your speakers up, try a higher frequency, or play a wav file that has the volume turned up.

No No . The sound that Beep generate it , transferred from system speaker , no sound card .

You're at the mercy of the hardware, and there is no solution if you don't have a sound card.

Search for "beginners guide to dialog based applications" on Code Project. Its an excellent starting point.

Yes an also you can see a good articles on the codeproject

Hello,
I am trying to change the icon in my main appln window from the default (MFC icon) to something else. Back in the days of the MSVC 6 version, there was an option to set the mainframe icon to 16x16 bits, which would do what I'm trying to accomplish. In v. 2005 there does not seem to be a way to change the icon from 32x32 to 16x16. Or is there? Can anyone help me w/ this? Thx,
Ralf.
