These special folders can be accessed and used by applications using the Windows Shell API.
I don't see anywhere in my reply where I said you can use Shell API to write to the root folder of the C drive, do you?

okay working with a dialog app. I have a little worker thread doing stuff and then I want to update the dialog. So here is what I am doing...
#define UWM_UPDATEGRAPH (WM_APP + 1)
//{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CVC_ExampleDlg)
...
ON_MESSAGE(UWM_UPDATEGRAPH, OnUpdateGraph)
...
//}}AFX_MSG_MAP
// I ignore both params
LRESULT CVC_ExampleDlg::OnUpdateGraph(WPARAM, LPARAM)
{...}
now to post this message I thought I wanted to write
PostMessage(UWM_UPDATEGRAPH, 0, 0);
however it is asking for an additional parameter of the HWND.
So here is my question, did I define my message wrong or do how is the best way to get the HWND

The first argument to PostMessage should be the handle of the window to which you want to post the message. You can retrieve it from the CDialog by calling GetSafeHwnd() on it.

CDialog is derived from CWnd which has a PostMessage method with the following signature:
BOOL CWnd::PostMessage(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
Depending on the specifics calling Win32's ::PostMessage function may not be the best way to go about things.

What do you mean ? If the thread runs outside the dialog class, you have to use ::PostMessage to deliver the message to the correct window. I don't see what you mean in fact, could you elaborate ?

He’s using MFC and wants to post a message to a CDialog derived class. If the worker thread has access to this class then he can use CDialog::PostMessage. An example:
CDialog theDialog;
void CalledFromOtherThread()
{
theDialog.PostMessage(WM_APP, 0, 0);
}

PostMessage function [^] takes four parameters, indeed.
I.e. did you realize the thread procedure is NOT a method (a instance one) of your dialog class?

If you're starting your thread from within the dialog you want to update, pass the hwnd of the dialog as the LPARAM if you use MFC (AfxBeginThread) - then you can use that in your PostMessage. If you don't use MFC, you can pass it as arglist or lpParmeter depending on how you start your thread.
You can use GetSafeHwnd() in your dialog to get the hWnd to pass.
Inside the thread, cast that parameter to an hWnd and you've got it.
Hope that helps.

int iFoundAt[2]={0,0};
int iValue = 0;
int iFound = 0;
printf( "\nEnter a search value: " );
scanf( "&d", &iValue );
for( x = 0; x <= 2; x++ )
{
for( y = 0; y <= 2; y++ )
{
if( iTwoD[ x ][ y ] = iValue )
{
iFound = 1;
iFoundAt[ 0 ] = x;
iFoundAt[ 1 ] = y;
break;
}
}
}
if( iFound == 1 )
printf( "\nFound value in iTwoD[%d][%d]\n", iFoundAt[ 0 ], iFoundAt[ 1 ] );
else
printf( "\nsearch value not found\n" );

this line is faulty; did you inspect the value of iValue?

Should be

That is a conspiracy of some 5 million people, where in turn one finds the erroneous line,
and another one indicates the exact column of the mistake.

I think you also want the equality operator here:
if( iTwoD[ x ][ y ] == iValue )
Hope that helps.

should be (== NOT = ):
if( iTwoD[ x ][ y ] == iValue )

how to Window title bar sliding under the menu bar ,please give me examples or Recommendations

Hi,
I have a menu in a CDialog, but it's looking ugly so I'm wondering if there is any way to use a menu bar instead. I don't need any docking capabilities, just a better-looking menu. I found CMenuBar from Paul DiLascia's article at http://www.microsoft.com/msj/0199/c/c0199.aspx[^], but it says it's designed for MDI apps. So, is there anything I can use in CDialog?
There is sufficient light for those who desire to see, and there is sufficient darkness for those of a contrary disposition.
