hello guys... I was trying to start a process with appropriate argument (lets say Windows Media Player with path OR IE with URL). I have been looking but did not find anything useful. How can we do that? Also, if we can kill that process after specific time has elapsed.

To add some extra info to Cool_Devs answer, don't forget WaitForSingleObject is a blocking call... so make sure the thread you call it from is ok with being blocked... and USE A TIMEOUT! ...I've found so much code with no timeouts, that's asking for trouble!

The answer I gave here[^] uses ShellExecuteEx. It doesn't start with command line, but rather opens the document/avi/url directly by its associated program. Might be one approach.

Hi,
I wonder if there is a quick and easy way to change the height of a PopupMenu (i.e. so that each line in the menu has an increased vertical size), and also change the font size to use a bigger font.
Do you have any code samples that can do that? Unfortunately, CMenu does not have an appropriate member to set the font size, or am I missing something?
Thanks alot.

Thanks alot, I have found these, but they are mostly overdoing for my purpose. All I wanna do is change the font size, nothing more, so I had to remove 95% of the code. I was just wondering if there is some really simple way to achieve only the font size changing. Besides, my Menu has no mainwindow, it's just a popupmenu (CMenu::CreatePopupMenu). Most samples seem to require a mainwindow, however.
Is there really no simple example without all the fancy rest of XP-style menus?

I went through this msdn tutorial on Using Menus and i think owner drawn menus may be the only solution to customize menu in an application, though not sure.

Thanks, I have done that now. There still stays one big problem which I simply do not understand:
My menu is created using CreatePopupMenu, and it does not belong to a Main window. However, MFC always calls the MeasureItem overridable for my Mainwindow, which has a CMenu member, which is null, because the menu is not part of my mainwindow.
How can I achieve that the MeasureItem method of my subclassed menu is called directly, instead of the mainwindows Measureitem function?

You didn't initialize cdt1. You need to use one of the COleDateTime constructors that initializes it, or use this:
cdt1 = COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime();
before calling cdt1.Format().

i cant use this,
Hans Dietrich wrote: cdt1 = COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime();
coz its not confirm ,the date time control have current data time,
user can select any date time and i perform action according to selected dates.
when i debug the program i found problem arise on ParseDateTime.

Here is the code you posted:
COleDateTime cdt1;
CString chk_dt1=cdt1.Format(_T("%d %b, %Y %I:%M:%S %p"));
cdt1.ParseDateTime(chk_dt1,0,LANG_USER_DEFAULT); Please tell me where in this code you initialize cdt1 to some valid date value.

its actually this.
CString from_date,to_date;
GetDlgItemText(IDC_DATETIMEPICKER1,from_date);
GetDlgItemText(IDC_DATETIMEPICKER2,to_date);
cdt1.ParseDateTime(from_date,0,LANG_USER_DEFAULT);
cdt2.ParseDateTime(to_date,0,LANG_USER_DEFAULT);
CString chk_dt1=cdt1.Format(_T("%d %b, %Y %I:%M:%S %p"));
CString chk_dt2=cdt2.Format(_T("%d %b, %Y %I:%M:%S %p"));
cdt1.ParseDateTime(chk_dt1,0,LANG_USER_DEFAULT);
cdt2.ParseDateTime(chk_dt2,0,LANG_USER_DEFAULT);

A datetime picker holds a date/time value, not a string. Why on earth are you calling GetDlgItemText() on it and then parsing the outcome? Have a look here[^].
Don't use strings when there is a more appropriate type around.

I provided a link to an example based on GetTime(). If you don't like it, google for some more examples. I don't have any myself.

Have you tried:
COleDateTime DateTime;

So use the appropriate cast, or better yet, a member variable. GetDlgItem() is to be used sparingly.
