William, give http://codeguru.earthweb.com/system/TaskManagerEx.html a try. It should reveal what is going on. I've found this to be very usefull in the past.
There is also a program around which I thought was on CodeGuru called WhoIsLocking or something like that, but I just had a quick look and couldn't find it.

I'm using the IWebBrowser2 interface to automate Internet Explorer. However, I don't see a method in the MSDN library that allows you to start IE maximized. I don't want to run full screen (I see a method for that), but rather in maximized mode.
Does anyone know of a way to do that? I guess I could manually set the size to the desktop rectangle size, but the sizing frame would still show up. Not a big deal, but I want to do this the right way...
Any ideas? I'm puzzled! 
Thanks!

Hi,
Lets say I have a grid with edit controls in it. I want the up and down arrow keys to move up and down between rows. Now lets say I'm using SHAutoComplete to auto-complete paths typed into said edit controls.
If the combo box drop list is active, I want up and down to move between items in the list. If it isn't active I want default row movement to occur.
My question is: Is it possible to tell whether the drop list of a combo is active at time of keypress so I can return TRUE or FALSE appropriatly in my PreTranslateMessage so that the desired behaviour occurs?
Auto-completion isn't essential for this project so "Give up, too hard" is a perfectly acceptable answer for me...

Take a look at the funcition CComboBox::GetDroppedState(). It should do what you need.

Can I install VS.NET after VS.60 ?
What about MSDN?
They use seperate MSDN's. VS6 uses October 2001 (or earlier).
VS.NET uses Jan2002 or later
I've been running with both on my machines for months and have had no problems.

I have one machine which has MSDN Jan 2002 and VC6.0 (I know, no good idea...) and now, i don't have any usefull MSDN on that machine, cause seems to be that there is no way back and the help doesn't work anymore (neither old nor new one..)

I have them both installed on my machine. Each one is using their own MSDN collection. The only problem is that VS.NET becomes the default program that opens the .cpp, .h, .dsw, .dsp etc., so you may consider being careful when double-clicking one of them.

hello,
I am looking for a way to convert a double to the char representation.
e.g. double x=12.3456
char y[10];

See CString::Format() or sprintf().

Hi,
I am able to install an Icon ShortCut with my application! But I discover that: not all Desktop of every PC is located at the same place (ie: c:\Windows\Desktop)!
Therefore if the application at Run Time can not know where the Desktop location in-advance, then it can not install the Icon ShortCut at the right place!
Except we have to search for that (Desktop location of that PC), is there any simple way to install the Icon ShortCut without searching? Or with seraching is there any simple codes to do that?
I appreciate a lot if someone help me here.

See SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(). On Win2K, use SHGetFolderLocation() instead.

Hi,
Thanks for your advices, I will try to use it! But I would like to know a bit more:
In one PC, there might be more than one user to use ... in this case, how can we know which Desktop is ON, in order to install Icon ShortCut at the right place?
Many thanks & regards,

Hi Anh,
Try CSIDL_DESKTOPDIRECTORY and CSIDL_COMMON_DESKTOPDIRECTORY as CSIDLs.

I haven't been able to find a MFC book I like. "Teach Yourself Visual Studio .NET in 21 Days" seems to assume that I am new to C++ and only want to modify code without understanding it. "Introduction to MFC Programming with Visual C++" covers the fundamentals first, but the first half dozen examples in the book do not complie as written!
So I have decided just to use the MSDN Libaray to understand the fundamentals then I will read Teach Yourself book when I am able to read and understand the code the Wizards Generate.
I already have a firm grasp of the Win 32 API and am proficent at C++.
Unfortunately there is a lot of information and it seems I would have to already know MFC to determine the best strategy for learning MFC.
I would appreciate any advice on what sections/topics to cover and in what order.
Thanks.

Jeff Prosise's book "Programming Windows using MFC" is a worthy read for those who know the Win32 API and C++. I expect you'll be able to breeze thru the book pretty quickly. Imho, it's a lot better than the "Learn mumble in n time units" books.

I'd start with Scribble tutorial. It demonstrates most important MFC concepts quite nicely.

On WinNT/2K/XP, how do determine what privilege
level a process is executing in (eg whether
the process has LocalSystem privileges)? Is
there any API call to use?
