if you open internet explorer, you push the Alt key, it toggles the menu on and off. To get that behavior in my MFC application, I can do just that by capturing the Alt key and showing/hiding the menu. I was wondering if this comes built in though with some kind of toggle?

For me, the Alt key sets and removes focus on the File menu. I've never seen a menu disappear as the result of pressing the Alt key.

On my IE (ie8 64bits) menu-bar is not visible, and when pressing alt, it is displayed.
In my experience, pressing alt will display the "_" under the mnemonic.
Watched code never compiles.

I'm familiar with that functionality, too, but not the other (i.e., disappearing).

With the menu displayed in IE 7, select View -> Toolbars -> (checked)Menu Bar. This should now turn off the Menu in IE. If you now press the Alt key, the menu will reappear. I think this is the behaviour that the OP is looking for. I doubt that it is standard in the MFC CMenu class. You might be able to extend that class to make it behave this way.

Crap, I never seen that before!!! that's awful behaviour!!!
Don't do that, it's not a standard behaviour (according to the Vista/7 User Experience document, as far as I can see).
In general, you don't hide UI components and have the user "discover" them by luck.

Yes, I agree that it is not a good behavior. But I was building an application (console Gauges) and I wanted to strip them as much as possible even hiding toolbars, titlebars. If all controls are stripped from my app including menu bar, I needed an easy toggle to get them back on the app, thats how I came across the Alt key behavior.

I've also seen this on Windows Live Mail and some others that I don't remember.
After spy++ing on the messages to the window it looks like you have to do this yourself.
You could maybe use SetMenu to show and hide the menu when the Alt key is toggled.

I am able to see that feature on Windows 7 file explorer.

Your PC is nearby you (from "relative Geo location for dummies...").

How to get through code only?

You can't translate IP address to geographic location with "code only", you must have a database that maps address blocks to locations.

Well, he can always create a database on his own . As he really wants to reinvent the wheel, he should also reinvent the car that goes with it

It's wrong: it gets the firewall address (of course) and place it in a wrong place... for either me and the firewall
