No. You're just seeing the resources in the software used for (eg) dialogs. You can do the same thing to USER.DLL in wimdows and look at the dialogs if you like - but that's not open source either.
The release may have been freeware, but unless you can get the source, or they have some plugin architecture (sounds unlikely) you can't change much.
You say about changing colours from 4 to 16. But maybe there are lots of little bits in the code saying if (nColour > 3) DoSomeSpecialAction ().
So, even with a lot of help the answer is:
if (bCanGetSourceCode)
JobIsHard ();
else
JobIsImpossible ();
Have you tried *buying* a later non-freeware version? I value my time, and I hope you value yours.

Hi Iain,
Thanks for your time and reply. Sound really hard to do it as from your reply. I have creadted an assembly file from this software by using PE Explorer. Will that be any helpful to make any change to this software even to change its skin are anything. Also its a text editor used for URDU Language similar to arabic and some word does not come in when you type while the other do. Althouh I have seen those words availbe in font glyph. Just to mention each glyph is a complete word. And there are about 80+ font files to cover all possible word in URDU. If you can guide how can those words will be availbe who are in the glyphs but does not show when type.
Once again thanks for your time and even a little help will be relly appriciated. I do value your time.

Sample code after sample code uses this syntax, but everytime I try to use it, I get two errors:
error C2059: Syntax error '{'
error C2334: unexpected token(s) preceding '{'; skipping apparent function body
What I'm trying to compile at the moment:
static PARAMDATA CT_pd[3] = {
{OLESTR("bsFileName"), VT_BSTR},
{OLESTR("dFileSize"), VT_R8},
{OLESTR("bsID"), VT_PTR}
};
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong ?
Oh, yea, I'm using MS Visual Studio .NET 2003.
Thanks, guys!

I just created a Win32 project using VS2008 Professional and compiled the following OK.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <windows.h>
#include "oleauto.h"
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
static PARAMDATA CT_pd[3] = { {OLESTR("bsFileName"), VT_BSTR}, {OLESTR("dFileSize"), VT_R8}, {OLESTR("bsID"), VT_PTR}};
return 0;
}
I pasted in your code and just had to added include oleauto.h and then had to add windows.h.

Actually all you had to do was include just windows.h since oleauto.h is indirectly included.

Hi,
I have a quick question. (well, hopefully the answer is as quick as my question as I'm sure I'm doing something dumb.)
I have a direct sound application that runs just fine as a windows console app which makes sense because there is nothing else going on.
I'm working on a software synth and have gotten to the point where I grow weary of punching in values to a text file. It's a subtractor synth built from scratch. I now need to support knobs, sliders, etc.. to modify my sounds.
This is where things go downhill.
Waiting on notifications in my console app works just fine, but in the threaded app it waits forever. I know about MsgWaitForMultipleObjects but it just falls through and I dont' update my streaming buffers correctly.
I'm a complete noob at dialog based windows programming so if someone has some example code of waiting for directsound buffer notifications with dialog based apps I'll be very thankful.
If you want source code I don't mind providing it, I just figured if someone had a main loop that they could share with me it would trigger a spark in my mind.
Thanks in advance.

But with what return code? That's what tells you if you a) have a message to process, or b) one of your handles has been signalled!
For something like audio, I'd have thought you'd want a dedicated thread handling the audio, communicating with the UI thread using PostMessage (audio thread -> UI thread) and events? (UI thread -> audio thread). But I could be completely wrong - I've never really looked at DirectSound 
BTW - does this CP article help[^] any? It's got a dialog with sliders and it talks about DirectSound

I build an app that scans a computer for active COM ports. I tryed using CreateFile() but it detects only ports from COM1 to COM9.
How can I detect over COM9?

How are you using CreateFile, like this?
HANDLE hPort;
WCHAR wszModName[12] = {0};
wsprintf( wszModName, L"\\\\.\\%s", szPort );
hPort = ::CreateFile(wszModName, GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE,0,OPEN_EXISTING,0,0);

Q115831 was the right answer. I used the syntax you mentioned. Thanks.

Dammit!
I screwed up the CWinApp class in my copy of "afxwin.h".
(Because I did something dumb.) 
I don't have install media, because company policy doesn't allow it.
I can put in a call to get VS reinstalled, but that will take a long time.
Does anybody have a suggestion on how I can restore that file? It's VS 2005.

A long time because the folks in IT are not located in the same building as you?

They aren't even on the same continent any more.
I'm in the US, they're in India. Installs are now
done via Remote Desktop.
It's more efficient that way.

It's seems identical to AfxWin.h from Visual Studio 6.
Thanks for the link, but it doesn't seem to be the right version for 2005.

Why can't ask one your colleague to send that file to you?

I've been struggling with this for a week and a half. Time to ask for help. I have a VC++6.0 / MFC application which "hung-up" when the laptop it was running on suspended operation because of power management. The thing is, I really don't want to loose the data that was entered into the program but not saved. So, I have duplicated the problem on another laptop - all I get is a blank window frame where my program should be. I'm trying to use the Visual Studio debugger to "attach to process" and stop it (break). The call stack shows it's in NTDLL, but I can see my program's code space. How can I find out where my document's data is in memory? Ideally, I'd like to be able to dump it to disk, or even better serialize it. At the very least I'd like to inspect it as a class and manually view member data. Any ideas? Thanks!

Wouldn't it be easier to just handle the WM_POWER and/or WM_POWERBROADCAST message(s) and save your data accordingly?

True, but right now the immediate need is to not loose the data from this one instance of the running program. I'll worry about fixing the code later.
Thanks

I've tried two things, first is a process memory dump called cprocess at http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cprocess.html[^].
The next is a project here on codeproject at http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cprocess.html[^].
With a running process, using Mdump from codeproject in the link above, I could use the "find" feature to locate user inputted ascii text in a running process. I've yet to try it in a hung-up process. There's no native dump to file in Mdump, but on its own is useful for locating where in memory text is.

As you know, within a pe file, there may be a few icons; but the Windows Explorer shows just one of them in order to show the file to the user. Can you tell me please which ICON within a pe file is shown by the Windows Explorer?
Thank you masters!
