Well, not really ... What you mean by "show the context menu" ? You want to show the menu items as items in your listview ? Or you simlpy want to open the context menu of the underlying window when your program lays on the top of it ?

I think the WM_RBUTTONDOWN should do if you also give the focus to the underlying window, since if the focus directly returns to your own app, the menu vanishes before ever being displayed. So i think you retrieved the hWnd using GetWindow() ? use it to give the window focus, and then send the message.

Hey I've got my ListView showing the system icons for each file type, but for directories and a few other files the icon have a black border, instead of the 'transparent' shadow like in IE and others. This is on WinXP, just woundering how I get rid of them? or how to handle them properly, tried searching around and couldn't find anything and the example on CP shows the same 'black borders'.

oh yeh I'm using WTL not MFC if that matters.

when i call PrintDlg with hDevNames set to printer installed at machine what is actually off (driver 'winspool' enabled to select it in previous PrintDlg call but DocumentProperties called after failed)
CommDlgExtendedError returns CDERR_MEMLOCKFAILURE
- all is ok when i set hDevNames to null before call
- when i try to do own GlobalLock to it it makes no problem
seems to me strange solution like:
if CDERR_MEMLOCKFAILURE try to call again with hDevNames=NULL
any experiencies with?

sample (acrobat reader, icq, etc...)
1) Acrobat Reader is already installed on computer
2) The Acrobat Reader is not running now.
3) I want to get that Acrobat Reader Path.
How should I do (Howto or Library) ?
Thank you for your kindness.

I think you have to write SEARCH code.

Well,Let me correct myself.You can do it with WMI.I never use it with VC myself but you can check it in MSDN.Look up Win32_SoftwareElement and Win32_InstalledSoftwareElement.

Look at the Registry entries.
Look at all the Registry functions in MSDN. With things like RegEnumValue, RegEnumKey, RegEnumValue you should find the application installed, and the path to it (the value in which these are stored are always the same, i.e. Reader should be under Acrobat Registry Key).

hi , i have 2 questions.
i need to put an image (200x200) on the top of my dialog box to make it look pretty. I can use any file format to do it, bmp,jpg, gif, im just unsure how to do it. pointers to articles / information on this is appreciated.
also...
I saw an article on here last week by some 'code jock software' etc.. and it was for adding a splash screen to an application... anyone have that link handy?? thanks

The Code Jock guy is Kirk Stowell, you can search for articles by author, he only has a few. Splash screens are pretty easy though, at worst you can just use the component that comes with VC to do it.

For splash screens, just look at the code of Wordpad in MFC Samples. What is done is :
You create a dialog containing only an image (or whatever) with no border or whatever, which is displayed by the app, and killed in the OnIdle function after a while. Intersting thing is you can display various things (like animations, or plug-in loading à la Acrobat Reader) doing it this way.
I never tried the splash screens in VC++ which Christian is talking about, however, it may be worth a try.
As yor displaying a bmp, with MFC, just create a CStatic somewhere and load a bmp in it. Might also go that way in Win32 API only.

you can use BitBlt() and StretchBlt() functions to get the job done and look up MSDN it has some samples on these 2 func's.
BitBlt() just places the bmp on to the dlg and using StretchBlt() u can stretch the bmp to any size u want.

cool! ! thanks everyone... im going to try to get these things working... the splash screen does sound simple enough. Though I played with CStatic last night and couldnt get the picture to display, i kept getting an error when I tried to load my bitmap ..(16-bit image, is that ok?). ill try documentation on the Bitblt() and StretchBlt to find out more on that task.
thanks,
josh

Hi,
I'm working on a bit of an IM app (connects to msn messenger network) and i'm having a bit of trouble trying to decide how i should go about the message windows. Rich edit controls do nearly everything i need except appending text, the only way i can find of adding text is by keeping a buffer and appending to that then changing the richedit control (i.e. say we have 5k of text in the control and i want to insert a line at the bottom, i have to keep another copy of that 5k of text seperately and effectively wipe the rich text and start over) this method seems like it will introduce flicker and seems a bit of an ugly solution.. any thoughts?

You can add text to a richedt by "selecting" a null range at the end of the existing text and then "replacing" it with the text that you want to append.
SetSel(-1,-1) and then ReplaceSel() IIRC.

I've set up a scheduled task to run whenever a user logs on. After the desktop starts, the window is not visible. However the process is listed in the task manager process list.
I use explicit calls to ShowWindow and SetWindowPosition in the OnInitialUpdate function of the view class. So why doesn't the window appear when the desktop starts?
The program has to start every time a user logs on and it has to run with admin privilages so that users can't kill the process.

Meaning you run it under an account that's member of the Administratoprs group?
And where exactly would that "user" get the windows station and the desktop of the currently locally logged on user, and especially the privileges to use those objects?
Try reading this article, and you're in a much better position to do what you want to accomplish.
Personally I think you're nuts, running a process with admin privs on a users desktop, especially when we all know how easy it is to interact with such a window to gain full access to the machine.
If you want a better solution, you should probably run your service as just that, a service, and then let the UI run in the locally logged on users context, talking to the server using e.g. RPC.

Hi
I have a library which consists of header and source file. I created the Win32 Static Lib project in visual C++6. It then compiles ok and leaves some objects and .lib file in the Debug folder.
I then created another console project and attempt to reference the x.lib in the debug folder in the Win 32 Static Lib but it gives me 102 errors say "unknown character at 0x95" or something like that.
And when i double clik on the error to see where the error is in the editor, the message box pop up and say that the file is binary and can not be read.
Does any one know how to solve this problem??
Ah i also forgot to mention that i even have tried to add the x.lib into the link option in the project setting! This time it reduce to 3 error but alway say "undeclared identifer" which is quite weird to me since i know how i declare it is quite correct.
Regard,
Cuong Tong

It would be (more) productive if you provide the actual compiler /linker output. It is kind of difficult to guess from the information you supplied.
P.S. Before linking go to ProgectSettings->Link->Customize and check "Print process messages" box
