What gives you this idea? It's far from obsolete. It's intended for "use by private window classes" where as WM_APP is "available for use by applications".

right you say, but the guy who posted the original question is intended to use it for Inter process communication!

All this discussion on WM_USER/WM_APP is great, but what about the
reason it works in debug build but not in release build?
What's up with that?

SetWindowText("The_Title_String"); if you are using MFC.

SetWindowText() also works without MFC.

Hi,
I have an Application which supports multiple languages. I want to print the time as the footer string of a page( in AM/PM format).
On English OS(WinXP) this is printing fine but when I am using French OS, the AM/PM information is not being displayed in the footer. Please help me in this regard.
Also, I am using the GetTimeFormat() to set the time format. What should I do?
Thanks and Regards,

Isn't that blatant ignorance of user will? A usability horror?
But OK.
Which locale and/or lpFormat are you feeding into GetTimeFormat?
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.

You should be looking at the string that GetTimeFormat() is formatting. Forgo the printing and footer stuff until that is right.

Hi Exprts,
I am so curious to get the link file path but I could not. I am creating a shell context menu. As I click on link file(shortcut) Program resolve the name before the InvokeCommand() function. But in QueryContextMenu() I can detect the link file type through flag CMF_VERBSONLY but I could not get the link file path.
How can I do this?

Are you using WinForms, then right click on the picture box and select choose Image option. And posting to WF message board will help more.
And from the Déjà vu experience, I think you are using VC++/MFC and assuming you are refering picture Box for picture control, you mentioned you set the type of picture control to bitmap and in the image field you need to set the ID of the bitmap resource. for that add the bitmap to the resource and change the ID if needed, use that ID in the Image option box. The path cannot be used directly.

Hi all,
I am using below code..
CString lpImagePath;
lpImagePath="D:\\Program Files\\TabTab\\TabTab\\Images\\home_32bit.ico";
UINT colormap = LR_DEFAULTSIZE |LR_LOADMAP3DCOLORS| LR_LOADFROMFILE | LR_CREATEDIBSECTION|LR_LOADTRANSPARENT;
HBITMAP hBitmap =(HBITMAP)::LoadImage ((HINSTANCE)::GetModuleHandle(NULL),lpImagePath,IMAGE_BITMAP,0,0,colormap);
I am getting null in hBitmap if I am loading an icon file with Bit Depth=32.
LoadImage is working fine for all .ico file with Bit Depth upto 24 only.
But I dont know why it is not working for icon file with Bit Depth=32.
Please help me..

Does GetLastError() give you any clue to the reason LoadImage() fails?
Can you really load icons using IMAGE_BITMAP?

Could you please check the error code by calling GetLastError

So what does GetLastError() return?

Thanks for reply to you all...
I am not getting any error here.
the thing is I want to add that hbitmap in my ImageList.
like
HBITMAP hBitmap =(HBITMAP)::LoadImage ((HINSTANCE)::GetModuleHandle(NULL),lpImagePath,IMAGE_BITMAP,0,0,colormap);
nBmpIndex = ImageList_Add(m_hImageList, hBitmap,0);
so now I have solved that problem .
I am using below code now..
HICON hicon =(HICON)::LoadImage ((HINSTANCE)::GetModuleHandle(NULL),lpImagePath,IMAGE_ICON,0,0,colormap);
nBmpIndex = ImageList_AddIcon(m_hImageList,hicon);
it is workin fine...now I can add Icon with 32 bit Depth in my image list.
I observed one more thing that IMAGE_BITMAP works for icons also...but for icons with Bit Depth 24 only.
Thank you...
