As with most drawing, you should be doing it whenever the control receives a
WM_PAINT message

Code is at end of post. I have a picture box control with type Bitmap on my control as position 0,0. I basically want a window where it just displays an image.
However with the current code below, I am unable to get the image to not "be covered up". If I take another window and cover up MY window and then move away, I can then see the image as I desire.
However this is not desired behavior. I have a function commented out called RepaintWindow. It's one of my custom functions. It gets the client rect of the window and calls invalidaterect for that section. A shortcut.
When that is not commented out, I get to see my image (again when moving another window onto MY window) for a brief second then it gets covered by up by gray again.
I am missing a small detail here and by god if I can't see what that is! Thanks for the help.

Do you want to show image on the static control?do you have problem in this section? and also you can use of CImage class for load images.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I've tried doing it in WM_PAINT with just a little success.

What in the world could cause me to be unable to draw to a blood PICTURE CONTROL?
|
|
|

Since you are drawing in the dialog windows WM_PAINT handler, when the child window (picture control) gets its WM_ERASEBKGND and WM_PAINT message later causes it to erase the image drawn.
you can do,
1. Why don't you set the Bitmap for the picture control at the time of resource editing or dynamically SetBitmap() and allow the picture control to draw in its way.
2. you may subclass the picture control and draw on its paint handler.
3. you actually don't need a picture control if you are drawing the image, remove the picture control and draw the image on the WM_PAINT handler of the dialog as you are doing now, only difference is you don't want to acquire the DC of Picture control but use the dialogs DC and draw where you want in the dialog (where the picture control is supposed to place)
4. Try set the Transparent style to the picture control in the resource editor

What does the transparent property do?
I can't do it by resource editing. Whenever I draw on a picture control I never see anything. 
I will try SetBitmap tomorrow.
Is there a tutorial on doing the subclassing on the picture control?

There's not really a "picture control" - it's just a static control
with the SS_BITMAP style. If you're ok with the way the static control
draws its bitmap then you should just be using the static control that way
instead of doing the drawing yourself.
If you need to draw yourself, then you should be doing so in the control's
WM_PAINT handler. The symptoms seem to indicate you're drawing a bitmap
"underneath" (in the z-order) another control - that means you've got the
wrong HWND 
Also make sure you handle WM_PAINT properly (for any window). If the invalid
region of the window being painted isn't marked valid after painting, then you get
recurring calls to WM_PAINT - bad for performance! Use BeginPaint() and EndPaint()
in your WM_PAINT handlers (and the DC it provides) and the invalid region updating
will be taken care of by the system.

I know I can use a SendMessage command to a static control to tell it to change its bitmap.
But how do I load a bitmap from a file that's a gif or jpeg or png? Or just from a file in general.
Is there a way to use GDI+ to do this? I can create a bitmap with gdi plus (that's what I'm doing now) but I don't know how to use that in
for SendMessage().
Edit I've tried setting the image with
<br />
SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hwnd,IDC_PICTURE),STM_SETIMAGE,IMAGE_BITMAP, (LPARAM)&srcBitmap);<br />
The srcBitmap variable is a valid bitmap object. Is that not the correct way to do it?
Because at the moment, whenever I set it by clicking on the control, it erases itself and it still gray.

You can't send a Gdiplus::Bitmap to the control....you need to use Bitmap::GetHBITMAP() to
create an HBITMAP to send to the static control.
HBITMAP hbm;<br />
srcBitmap.GetHBITMAP(Color::Black, &hbm);<br />
SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hwnd,IDC_PICTURE), STM_SETIMAGE, IMAGE_BITMAP, (LPARAM)hbm);

Hi,
Actually i reading one file and list all file details in TreeCtrl and finally i select one thing from the list.
The file contains two details as Name and Category,the file looks like
Name Category
DT002 UNIT OPERATIONS
IND01 CUSTOMS
CRD01 UNIT OPERATIONS
ECH01 CUSTOMS
So, I have to list the details as follow
UNIT OPERATIONS (Parent)
DT001 (child of UNIT OPERATIONS)
CRD01 (child of UNIT OPERATIONS)
CUSTOMS (Parent)
IND01 (child of CUSTOMS )
ECH01 (child of CUSTOMS )
When i made TreeCtrl, what it displays like...
all the things displayed as in file.
UNIT OPERATIONS
DT001
CUSTOMS
IND01
UNIT OPERATIONS
CRD01
CUSTOMS
ECH01
So pls help me.
I have to find the parent items in TreeCtrl and i have to add appropriate name (child) to that
category. Pls help me to sort out the problem????

Do you have a problem reading from the file or constructing the tree control or populating it?

I read from file and made the Treectrl. But i have to populate it na good manner.
In a single parent i have to place three or four child item.
But now i got tree list as
THree child item have the seperate parent item,but all this parent item are same.

What could that possibly mean? Can you just show your code?
While posting a query, please keep the scope narrow as possible and explain *only* the part where you face a problem, along with relevant source code, if any. This would help you get an accurate and fast answer. You've been long enough here to know it though.

for(int k=0 ; k<pCustInfo->oCustDet.iNoOfModels;k++)
{
HTREEITEM hTree, hModel;
oModel = new SModelInfo;
pCustInfoFile->Read(oModel,sizeof(SModelInfo));
hTree = m_ModelTree.InsertItem(oModel->stModels, TVI_ROOT); ///THIS IS PARENT ITEM
hModel = m_ModelTree.InsertItem(oModel->stModelName, hTree); //THIS IS CHILD ITEM
}
By this coding, i add every same parent and child item in line by line.
But i need all child items from the samr parent in single list.
In codeproject, is any provision to add some image, then i will add screenshot of my treectrl dialog.

This code works for me to get two root items with two branch items for each root:
HTREEITEM hRoot, hBranch;
hRoot = m_Tree.InsertItem("Root item 1", TVI_ROOT);
hBranch = m_Tree.InsertItem("Branch of Root 1", hRoot, TVI_LAST);
hBranch = m_Tree.InsertItem("Branch of Root 1", hRoot, TVI_LAST);
hRoot = m_Tree.InsertItem("Root item 2", TVI_ROOT);
hBranch = m_Tree.InsertItem("Branch of Root 2", hRoot, TVI_LAST);
hBranch = m_Tree.InsertItem("Branch of Root 2", hRoot, TVI_LAST);
Note: Please enable the following from the Tree Control properties: Has buttons, Has lines, Lines as root.

Hello,
i created a shell extension for my program but i cannot delete them? Whats going wrong there? Hope someone can help me. Thanks !
<br />
HKEY key;<br />
DWORD res;<br />
<br />
<br />
RegCreateKeyEx(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT,L"CPACK\\shell\\Extract with CPACK\\command",0,NULL,REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE,0xF003F,NULL,&key,&res);<br />
wchar_t *data = L"C:\\cpack.exe e %1";<br />
RegSetValueEx(key,L"",0,REG_SZ,(LPBYTE)data,(DWORD)(lstrlen(data)+1)*sizeof(TCHAR));<br />
RegCloseKey(key);<br />
<br />

You cannot delete a registry key if subkeys exist.
If you were successful with creating the key and subkeys then you should be able to delete them as well. RegDeleteKey will fail with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED if a subkey exists. You need to implement a recursive deletion[^].

ahh okay now it works fine. Thanks.

What's going on is that you are not checking for errors. From MSDN:
If RegDeleteKey() fails, the return value is a nonzero error code defined in Winerror.h. You can use the FormatMessage() function with the FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM flag to get a generic description of the error.

A Visual C++ program of mine has been suffering from an ailment that it did not have under Borland C++ on my old PC: ignoring the keyboard, unprogrammed bell beeping when I press a keyboard key. I may have tracked it down, all or partly.
It has an array char KEYS[256] which is used as a boolean array to keep track of which keyboard keys are up and which are down. When I switch away from the program using alt-tab, this seems to happen: Alt down: is recorded. Tab down: the program loses the foreground. Alt up and tab up: not recorded by my program. So, when my program gets the foreground back, it thinks that the alt key is still down.
What I want to do is to trap any system message that says "This program is about to lose the foreground", so I can set to 0 the variable KEYS[VK_MENU] and any other KEYS elements that are so affected.
VK_MENU is the virtual key number of the ALT key.

You can probably use the WM_KILLFOCUS[^] message to detect when your window loses the keyboard focus.
You could also possibly use WM_ACTIVATE[^] to detect when your application has been activated or inactivated.
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune

Thanks. I found that:
case WM_KILLFOCUS: for(i=0;i<256;i++) KEYS[i]=0; goto DEF; seems to make dialog boxes misbehave.
case WM_ACTIVATE: for(i=0;i<256;i++) KEYS[i]=0; goto DEF; seems so far to work OK.

I have a Windows service in which I need to stop worker threads from my main thread. I am trying to use events to do this but I am stumped on why it is not working. Each class that runs a worker thread creates a stop event and a response event. When I need to stop the worker thread I call into the threads class and set the event. However, instead of the worker thread detecting that the event has been set and stopping gracefully, it just disappears. Why?
What is the best method for stopping a worker thread from the main thread?
