Owner window doesn't show [modified] sashoalm6-Mar-09 23:14 sashoalm 6-Mar-09 23:14  I show a message box with AfxMessageBox. However if my main dialog was minimized at that time, only the message box shows, and until OK is clicked the owner won't show even if I click on the program icon in the task bar. Same if I use a custom dlg with DoModal instead of a message box. This happens only if the main dlg was minimized, if it was simply out of focus there's no problem. There is sufficient light for those who desire to see, and there is sufficient darkness for those of a contrary disposition.

I think if you want to show it before you bring up the message box you either have to manually do it or maybe try to capture the WM_ACTIVATE or WM_ACTIVATEAPP messages somewhere and check if your main dialog needs to be shown. > The problem with computers is that they do what you tell them to do and not what you want them to do. < > Life: great graphics, but the gameplay sux. < Re: Owner window doesn't show sashoalm7-Mar-09 0:07 sashoalm 7-Mar-09 0:07  Thanks, this gave me the idea to try ShowWindow(SW_RESTORE) before showing the message box, which worked.

You need to create a Modaless dialog rather. It's simple, instead of calling doModal, you need to call Create() & ShowWindow(), More here[^] He never answers anyone who replies to him.

[modified] JackPuppy6-Mar-09 21:16 JackPuppy 6-Mar-09 21:16  there is a directory containing the executable image file and there is another directory called "process current diretory" and every current diretory per process.

Garth J Lancaster6-Mar-09 22:04 Garth J Lancaster 6-Mar-09 22:04  yeah, well, people use different terms to mean differnt things .. I think you mean :- http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364934(VS.85).aspx[^] as opposed to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms683197(VS.85).aspx[^] (directory containing the executable image file) Re: What's process current directory? sashoalm7-Mar-09 0:12 sashoalm 7-Mar-09 0:12  basicly, it's what the command CD used to set when people used DOS so if you open the dos box and type: CD C:\mydir\ "C:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe" notepad would have a current directory C:\mydir, not C:\WINDOWS but since in a GUI you can't explicitly change the current directory i'm not sure what use it has anymore There is sufficient light for those who desire to see, and there is sufficient darkness for those of a contrary disposition.

I have tried the serial library and the demos on this site as well as a bunch of other sites. All i need is a simple program that sends a string to the com port of my choosing with the baud, parity, etc of my choosing. The variables can be simply manipulated and recompiled. I just want to learn this and I am not that experienced with c++, so all the MSDN stuff is confusing to me. Anything that can mimic a hyper terminal would be more than ideal.

Eytukan6-Mar-09 21:17 Eytukan 6-Mar-09 21:17  If you are using TCHAR then there shouldn't be a problem. But it also counts how are you using it. york528 wrote: I just set them in project->settings delete _MBCS and add _UNICODE,UNICODE Yes, this is fine. You need to repeat the same after you choose "Release" version. Because the settings you give in the project properties in debug mode applies only to debug versions. ReDo the same after you choose "Release". This is what I asked you to check. He never answers anyone who replies to him.
