I've just done a quick search, and found the following msdn article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms997507.aspx[^]
Have look at the "Layered Windows" paragraph, specifically the line:
"This is because SetLayeredWindowAttributes turns on the redirection of the window's drawing..."
I realised it would be hard to experiment with a "real" application - but if I am having trouble, I always make a simple small application to work with, and make changes on. Once you understand how to make your small application that does nothing more that show a small red rectangle on the screen with varying transparency (for example), then you can make educated changes to your real application.
Good luck!
Iain.

Thanks Iain.Your reply is of real help. I agree that we should always test a unknown technique within a small application that has all focus on it.

Don't get certifications, make real coding experiences instead.

Hi, thanks for your valuable suggestion. Can you help me which material you are using for this certificate exame or any other links are there? or you are using any dumps links with you? kindly help me..

Based on what? It requires knowledge of .NET Framework 4, which has nothing to do with VS6. The last certification that VS6 was good for was MCSD.

Could GetNextDlgTabItem[^] help along with SetFocus[^]? (Don't be fooled by the name, it can be used to get the previous item also.)

How can I make my application exe which should not get debug through any debugger?
|
|
|
|

You can use the IsDebuggerPresent API to check the process is being debugged by a user-mode debugger.
However this will not prevent the process from being debugged.
The API is there to alter the behavior of the program when being debugged.
You could not provide the PDB file so that the symbols are not available and debugging becomes difficult.

|
|
|
|

This sounds suspicious: If I have a license for your app, and I have a license for a debugger, I have (as per the EEC law on software copyrights) the full right to run a debugger on it.
If you prevent it and I need it, I can even take you to a court to impose you to remove that protection.

Laws in other places are different however.

Not that much.
The principle "It sis yopur software, but that's not your computer" was applied by the US court that made Sony BMG retire their own "copyright protection systems" and pay some billions in a class action.

How could I find spefications of C++ operators overload, such as how many arguments should operator+() take, what should be the first operator of operator new(), operator int() qualifies only if it's a member function.
I have <<c++ primer="">>, it lists a few of them.But it doesn't satisfy my needs.could someone help me?

Does this[^] help?

Without googling for possibly more concise information, I do recall one thing about operator overloads: They must fit the signature of the standard operation; not with respect to type, which may be different, but with respect to number of arguments. Some operators have more strict requirements, e. g. assignmen operators should always return a value of type 'reference to the type that is being assigned to', but AFAIK these are not enorced by the compiler. It is still strongly recommended because otherwise youmight get unexpected behaviour when using these types with template libraries such as the STL.
You could take a look at the interface of std::complex for a comprehensive list of overloaded operators and their signatures: complex operators
P.S.: operator int() and the like, i. e. the casting operators, have their own special syntax:
a) they may not have a return type (which would be redundant anyway), and
b) they don't take an argument, because - as you noted - they only work as member functions.
You should however consider to specify them as explicit, to prevent an accidental inappropriate use through automatic type conversion by the compiler.

Hi Developers,
I was facing "Memory Leak" problem, from this chunk of code.
I have allocate a memory for a structure( pRecStruct ) & after that it has stored in a map( CMapWordToPtr - pMapUserBoard ) for furher use.
I have tried to delete as well, but the next time if i am trying to use.
Plese tell me the issue.
if( bSymAlreadyPresent == false )
{
CString str(pDBStruct->Symp);
strTemp.Format( _T("%d"), userClipIndx + 1 );
str += " Symptom Dropped on Clipboard " + strTemp;
MessageBox( NULL, str, "", MB_OK );
NEWDB_STRUCT near *pRecStruct=NULL;
pRecStruct=new NEWDB_STRUCT;
int cLen=strlen(pDBStruct->Symp);
pRecStruct->Symp=new char[cLen+1];
memset(pRecStruct->Symp, NULL,cLen+1);
memcpy(pRecStruct->Symp,pDBStruct->Symp,cLen);
pRecStruct->Remedy=new char[strlen(pDBStruct->Remedy)+1];
memset(pRecStruct->Remedy, NULL,strlen(pDBStruct->Remedy)+1);
memcpy(pRecStruct->Remedy,pDBStruct->Remedy,strlen(pDBStruct->Remedy));
pRecStruct->RecSize=pDBStruct->RecSize;
pRecStruct->LevelNum=pDBStruct->LevelNum;
pRecStruct->RemedyCnt=pDBStruct->RemedyCnt;
iTemp = pMapUsrClipboard->GetCount();
pRecStruct->SymNo = iTemp;
pRecStruct->Author=pDBStruct->Author;
pRecStruct->RecNo=pDBStruct->RecNo;
pRecStruct->ParOffset=pDBStruct->ParOffset;
pRecStruct->NextOffset=pDBStruct->NextOffset;
pRecStruct->CurOffset=pDBStruct->CurOffset;
pRecStruct->SymType=0;
pMapUsrClipboard->SetAt( iTemp, pRecStruct ); /// for remedies
/* delete pRecStruct;
pRecStruct = NULL;*/
bResult = true;
//clip1++;
}
Thanks.

That isn't clear. What do you mean?
However you should know you need to delete the allocated character arrays together with the struct itself. You may use the destructor for this task:
struct RectStruct
{
RectStruct()
{
Symp = NULL;
Remedy = NULL;
}
~RectStruct()
{
if (Symp) delete [] Symp;
if (Remedy) delelte [] Remedy;
}
};

I meant this in ur code.
you hav commented this!
delete pRecStruct;
pRecStruct = NULL;
on using this also you face the problem?.
