End Task facility.
Any Ideas please.
Thx in Advance.

On a robust OS the above should not be possible. Anyway it would be, at least, unpolite.

Serivces, maybe, but you can stop services using Administration Tools.

Any ideas or articles for writing this type of services that can't be stop.

Nope. Services actually can be stopped.
And it is definitely a bad idea.

Are you saying windws isn't robust? 
Even not well designed? Overladden with historic ballast to a point where even Microsoft seems to be unable to fix it in time (Vista delay!)?
Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable, let's prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

I'm saying quite the opposite. Windows has become, since NT, more robust.

Nope, I think it is well designed (BTW I think exactly the same way about Linux).

Well this maybe controversial, but, in fact, backward compatibility has been an Intel and Microsoft winning point.

Why would you ever wanted to do this ?
Anyway, pulling the plug of the computer will shutdown the application.

That's not an answer.

Right.
Maybe we do not want to raise a scriptkiddie?

Why would you want to do such a ting ? Is there any good reason to do so ?

Do you mean other than responding to the WM_CLOSE message?

When I right-click on some process names seen on Task Manager, and choose [Kill process tree], some can not be killed. (not the "System Idle" of course)

The End Task button is on the Applications tab, not the Processes tab.

What about having 2 processes that control each other?
When one of them finishes the other one restart it.

I remember battling some spyware that did this very thing. It exploited the fact that you could not kill two processes at once using Task Manager. They each watched the other and restarted as necessary. I finally got 'em both, though.

Hi.
I'm writing an application, (using MFC), that connects to a SQL 2000 database.
In the past I have used indistinctly ADO OLEDB, (using #import statetment and all these COM stuff) and the MFC ODBC classes CDatabase, CRecordset, etc.
My question is:
Which is the more efficient method?.
I will lose something if I start to use ODBC classes more often?.
Which are the differents, (technical diff I mean) between these two methods?
It would be great to clarify all this because I'm working with those techniques for a long time ago and I really don't know their basements.
Thank you.
Demian.

As far as I know, and I am not a database expert, ADO is build in such a way that the underlying database type is irrelavent to the programmer.
Which means that when you are accessing a SQL database with ADO, it is probably going to make calls through ODBC to access the data, which is adding a middle man. In other words using ODCB will be faster than using ADO.

I created a button using CBitmapButton and set it to BS_OWNERDRAW but it is not shown on the dialog box.
CBitmapButton m_Btn1;
...
...
...
m_Btn1.Create("",WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|BS_OWNERDRAW,CRect(0,10,30,50),this,IDC_BUTTON3);
m_Btn1.LoadBitmaps(IDB_BITMAP1,IDB_BITMAP2,NULL,NULL);

I've made a test with your code (using MSVC++ 6.0) :
<br />
class CMyDialog : public CDialog<br />
{<br />
:<br />
CBitmapButton m_Btn1;<br />
:<br />
}<br />
<br />
BOOL CMyDialog::OnInitDialog() <br />
{<br />
CDialog::OnInitDialog();<br />
:<br />
m_Btn1.Create("",WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|BS_OWNERDRAW,CRect(0,10,30,50),this,12345);<br />
m_Btn1.LoadBitmaps(IDB_BITMAP_TEST1,IDB_BITMAP_TEST2); <br />
:<br />
return TRUE;<br />
}<br />
... and it work's fine.
Only thing is, that the button's coords a relative to the client area of the dialog ... means the button with CRect(0,10,30,50) appears in the upper left corner of the dialog.
Are you sure that it is not shown ?
Or is it hidden by an other control / item ?

CBitmapButton m_Btn1;
may be the local variable, got destroyed when out of scope.
