Well, I've learned most of the fundamentals of c++ and am feeling quite comfortable with the concepts involved. I've investigated Microsofts express development studio, but before I begin installing a development studio I would like to find a good tutorial for Visual C++. I have looked around on the web, and haven't been able to locate what I think is a good tutorial, and I was hoping that somebody here would know of a good place to start. I would like the tutorial to begin with the basics of VC, not necessarily c++ ( how to make basic windows etc.) and hopefully lead into some of the more advanced concepts involved with how to work with the windows API (threads, memory etc).
Any suggestions.

I would suggest Petzold's book.

Okay, Hope I've fixed my name now.. Sorry about that, I made this account awhile back. Thanks for your suggestions everybody, but most of these examples (excluding perhaps the book) seem more like reference material. I was looking around some more and found http://serghei.net/docs/programming/c++/ty%20visualC++6%2021%20days/ewtoc.html[^]
This is what I was more looking for, something that can be followed throughout a set course. Although this seems a tad bit outdated, can anybody comment on if this tutorial is any good, or any more up to date suggestions are more than welcome.

My existing code is below. A global function which is not a member of any class is calling a function which is a member of class CNewDlg. This code works, but I don't like it. I'm using it because it's the best I have been able to do. I think it can be done better using a user message, but I don't know how user messages work and haven't been able to find any examples. How would I code this using a user message?
void WINAPI HostChange(LinkPtr data) <---global; not in any class. A callback provides ptr data.
{<br />
((CNewDlg*)AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd)->LogonChange(data); <br />
}<br />
<br />
void CNewDlg::LogonChange(LinkPtr data) <---function in a dialog class
{<br />
if(data->SomeField == 3){Do something...}<br />
}

I'm with you on this! 
Here's an ultra-easy alternative, which while not perfect, has its advantages.- Add 2 buttons (
IDC_HOST_CHANGE and IDC_LOGON_CHANGE) to CNewDlg and make them invisible.
- Write a handler for each - the one for
IDC_HOST_CHANGE should call HostChange() and the one for IDC_LOGON_CHANGE should call LogonChange().
HostChange() and LogonChange() should get a pointer to an (perhaps the) instance of LinkPtr via a singleton access method exposed by your app class.
- Your static callbacks should post the appropriate message to your app's
AfxGetMainWnd(). No casting to CNewDlg is required. For example:
AfxGetMainWnd()->PostMessage (WM_COMMAND, IDC_HOST_CHANGE);
In lieu of a registered message, this provides a clean separation between event generation by your application's innards and event handling by your application's user interface.

Here's a quick, general introduction to user-defined messages. I'm assuming you're using MFC here.
1. Define a message identifier. You can base it off of WM_USER or WM_APP:
#define WM_MY_MESSAGE (WM_APP + 1)
2. Declare a message handler in your dialog class:
afx_msg LRESULT OnMyMessage(WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam);
3. Add an entry to the message map for your dialog class:
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(...)
ON_MESSAGE(WM_MY_MESSAGE,OnMyMessage)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
4. Define your message handler:
LRESULT MyDialogClass::OnMyMessage(WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam)
{
}
5. Finally, send the message when needed:
my_dialog->SendMessage(WM_MY_MESSAGE,
(WPARAM)first_parameter,
(LPARAM)second_parameter);
where first_parameter and second_parameter are whatever values you want to send with the message.

Its SetWindowRgn.
From the MSDN
This function sets the window region of a window. The window region determines the area within the window where the system permits drawing.
The system does not display any portion of a window that lies outside of the window region.

Hello,
How i can change LocationName property of IWebBrowser2 ?
I try to use GetProperty/PutProperty but it's not works:
BSTR bstrPropName = L"LocationName";
VARIANT varPropValue;
varPropValue.vt=VT_BSTR;
varPropValue.bstrVal=L"this is a test";
m_spWebBrowser->PutProperty(bstrPropName,varPropValue);
it's not return any error but not change LocationName value 
Can you give me any example of using GetProperty/PutProperty ?
Thanx for help !

You are mis-using BSTR. You need to create them properly with SysAllocString(), or use a wrapper class like _bstr_t or CComBSTR.

|

What Michael mean by his answer is, you could modify your code like this,
BSTR bstrPropName = SysAllocString(L"LocationName");
VARIANT varPropValue;
varPropValue.vt=VT_BSTR;
varPropValue.bstrVal=SysAllocString(L"this is a test";)
m_spWebBrowser->PutProperty(bstrPropName,varPropValue);
SysFreeString(varPropValue.bstrVal);
SysFreeString(bstrPropName);

Error msg:
c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\window\winmain.c(44) : error C2275: 'D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS' : illegal use of this type as an expression
I am not sure what is causing this error. I have the DirectX 9.0 SDK installed. I am using Visual C++ 6.0 and added d3d9.lib and the directory for the include. The only thing different is I have Vista Premium 64 bit version. The windows code works fine. I can't get it to compile DirectX headers? I have also tried it with the free version of Visual c++ 2005 and still getting errors? I have tried running it as an Administrator. Any ideas how to get this working?
D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS d3dpp;
ZeroMemory( &d3dpp, sizeof(d3dpp) );
d3dpp.Windowed = TRUE;
d3dpp.SwapEffect = D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD;
d3dpp.BackBufferFormat = D3DFMT_UNKNOWN;
if( FAILED( g_pD3D->CreateDevice( D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, D3DDEVTYPE_HAL, hWnd,
D3DCREATE_SOFTWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING,
&d3dpp, &g_pd3dDevice ) ) )
{
return E_FAIL;
}

The problem is that the D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS is not defined. Make sure you have included the correct headers in the correct order. Your version of VS will make no difference.
