I am trying to maintain an old program that uses
///////
RECT rc;
GetWindowRect(&rc);
MoveWindow (rc.left, rc.top, rc.right-rc.left, rc.bottom-rc.top);
ScreenTo Client (&rc);
m_buttonDisable.Create("Disable",WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | BS_PUSHBUTTON | WS_DISABLED,
CRect(rc.left+360+horizBtnOffset,rc.top+35+vertBtnOffset,
rc.left+430+horizBtnOffset,rc.top+65+vertBtnOffset), this, IDC_BUTTON_DISABLE);
///////
to draw Group Boxes around similarly created buttons.
It all works fine if the desktop theme is set for "Windows Classic" but if another theme (e.g. Windows XP) is selected, the thicker title bar obscures part of the text. I do not want to re-write the code as it is much more complex than the snippet shown. What I would like to do is detect the Windows desktop theme and adjust the "vertBtnOffset" to move the label.
Is this possible?
If so can you give me a guiding light?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for your response, unfortunately I don't understand it.
Is this in the registry?
How do I access if from within my program?

Yes.

With the registry API.

Hi,
I'm using VS .NET 2003. Whwn I generate my application, I used to have a lib generated as well.
Since this morning, I don't know what I changed in my vcproj, but when the exe is generated, I don't get the lib as well.
I've spent many hour trying to find why, but I need help !
Anyone know how to make sure the lib with be generated ?
Thanks for your help !

Have a look at linker-->Advanced-->Import library option. See, if lib name is mentioned there.
Be sure, your program is exporting something.

Can someone clarify this pls?
I need to expose my C++ methods to remote clients on a network. The client applications which use my C++ methods can be implemented in any language ( Java, VC++, C#, VB.NET, PHP etc ). I wish to use SOAP , without the HTML wrapper and without using any webserver ( IIS or Apache ), but still maintaining the interoperability. Basically it is like implementing webservices without the IIS or Apache.
Can someone throw some light on the possibility?

Try GSoap[^].
The Link ist to the part of the Docu that describes how to make a standalone-SOAP-Server.

Hello,
i started my project in VS2003 and since some months in VS2005
Before, in 2003, the Buttons were in XP Style, now with 2005 they are
Windows2000 Style.
Is there a special Resource to replace?
Big thanks

In the project settings there is a section for the manifest. You got to include one.

Danke für die Antwort,
was genau muss ich dort hinzufügen?
|
|
|
|

Projekt->Linker->Manifestdatei->M. generiern <ja>
Projekt->Manifesttool->Eingabe und Ausgabe->M. einbetten <ja>
Oder eine eigene Manifestdatei. (eher Sonderfall)

Ok, Danke trotzdem

usually the XP styles are included calling
InitCommonControls();
in the first line of
BOOL MYApp::InitInstance()
before
CWinApp::InitInstance();

How do I create an irregular shaped window with transparent holes in the middle? I do not have an image and have to draw the window in the WM_PAINT event using GDI+. Any ideas would be welcome.
Thanks.

The only way I know is to use SetWindowRgn, and you will find several articles on CP about that (try looking in the dialog section). You can make the region any way you like (including processing a bitmap / making rectangles, etc)
Its possible that you can do funky alpha transparency stuff in vista, but that's outside my experience.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Well, I can always create an irregular shaped window using SetWindowRgn() but the problem with SetWindowRgn() is that the edges of the irregular window are not antialiased. I need to create a rounded rectangle window with the rounded part antialiased. Also, parts of the window need to be transparent like a circle in the middle of the window.
Thanks...

Multiple windows? Could you create two semicircles and put them esde to edge to create the hole in the middle you are looking for?

Can't help with the antialiased thing, but I *think* theres some (eg) SetWindowAlpha function under vista I read about. (I did a search, and that's not the right name).
Failing that, can't you make a region with a hole? Or did you try that and fail? You cna use CombineRng to merge regions to make them bigger, holes, etc...
I don;t see anything in the docs for SetWindowRgn saying it has to be a solid region...

I knew it would hit me...
SetLayeredWindowAttributes is the clue you need. For antialiasing, you can have one colour keyed to 0% alpha, another to 50% alpha, etc.
Doing a quick search shows plenty of articles here on CP. And its a 2000 onward feature, not a vista one!
Iain.
