DLLs and XP themes... LukeV29-Oct-02 2:54 LukeV 29-Oct-02 2:54  I'm trying to give my Outlook Plugin (It's a COM dll) the XP themes but the manifest file I used to use for standalone apps doesn't work... I got some info on: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwxp/html/xptheming.asp[^] but I don't understand that part Add the manifest to your application's resource file as follows: CREATEPROCESS_MANIFEST_RESOURCE_ID RT_MANIFEST "YourApp.manifest" Winuser.rh includes the following defines: #define CREATEPROCESS_MANIFEST_RESOURCE_ID 1 #define CONTROL_PANEL_RESOURCE_ID 123 #define RT_MANIFEST 24 Can anyone help me out?

I found this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/CommCtls/Userex/cookbook.asp[^] I did find a slightly different document on MSDN that didn't explain as well as this one... God, MSDN is such a maze!!! --------------- Concentrating on Ideas http://www.edovia.com unreliable custum context menu ns29-Oct-02 2:27 ns 29-Oct-02 2:27  I cant debug this since it happens sporadically. Basically sometimes my trackPopupMenu context menu doesnt show up when I right click on the control where its s upposed to be enabled. Is this a windows bug? If I cant debug it, how shall I figure out whats wrong and how to fix it? Appreciate your help, ns Re: unreliable custum context menu ian mariano29-Oct-02 2:45 ian mariano 29-Oct-02 2:45  It's not a bug. The menu appears at the coordinates of the pointer at the time you pick it up with the GetCursorPos() call. Due to the nature of mice and mice movement, coupled with the processing time for the right click, or the context menu key hit, and delays from that action to your application actually processing it because of other processes running, the position may be off from where you expect.

I'm localizing it to trigger in a certain rectangle. How can I ensure that the help wil alwayf show? I use getwindowrect to setup the region. I do understand your explanation, but now need a workaround. Thanks for the response! Appreciate your help, ns Re: unreliable custum context menu Ravi Bhavnani29-Oct-02 5:34 Ravi Bhavnani 29-Oct-02 5:34  As always, use TRACE and ASSERT to verify that your code is actually being called, the menu coordinates are valid, and the popup menu is successfully loaded. These are simple debugging techniques that will help point out the problem. Suggestion: don't put a breakpoint in the popup code, as this could screw up the coordinates and the R-mouse button handling during debugging. /ravi Let's put "civil" back in "civilization" http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com Re: unreliable custum context menu ian mariano29-Oct-02 8:34 ian mariano 29-Oct-02 8:34  It may be too much effort, I don't see how you can get around the kernel scheduler / main windows OS message pump to totally ensure you will get a precise mouse pointer location, perhaps in the embedded versions of Windows...

Called in you OnContextMenu(), it returns the position of the mouse when the message was generated instead of where the mouse is right now.

The wizard's data seems not to be updated automatically. thanks in advance! Re: Updating classes shown in wizard lucy29-Oct-02 3:11 lucy 29-Oct-02 3:11  Is there any problem deleting myproject.clw? I thought deleting is the easiest way. If you feel unsafe, you can save a copy as myproject.clw.bak.

What do i do for stating IIS? I guess an API would be in MSDN... but i haven't found it yet... Help me plz Re: how can I make to run IIS? ian mariano29-Oct-02 1:23 ian mariano 29-Oct-02 1:23  There's a Starting a Service[^] sample on MSDN. Basically, you'd be doing the equivalent of hitting Start Menu | Run typing net start w3svc, but using the StartService API.

I mean... Already I used StartService API and success using it.. I wanna make running WWW service in IIS.. for example.. If I try to connect localhost with web-browser, the index page have to be seen.... But Running IISADMIN service and W3SVC service is not enough... (i can't connect my localhost with web-browser) maybe it needs something more..... Re: how can I make to run IIS? ian mariano29-Oct-02 2:51 ian mariano 29-Oct-02 2:51  Perhaps you need to look deeper into it. It works when you do it manually? BTW, you only need to start w3svc, iisadmin will start on its own if you do that.
