Where to retrieve information about user font settings? Unsure | :~

SystemParameterInfo() is not it.

From the archives, I don't have sure if this still works ...

NONCLIENTMETRICS systemMetrics;
systemMetrics.cbSize = sizeof(NONCLIENTMETRICS);
if(SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS,
            (WPARAM)&systemMetrics,
            &systemMetrics.cbSize,
            NULL))
{
    // access the systemMetrics structure for desired info
}
else
{
    // failed to accessing appearance settings
}

Unfortunately, I can't use that information as I'm not dealing with non client areas. Frown | :(

Thanks anyway!

Just to recap:

From the archives:

Changing the font in the control panel sends a WM_SETTINGCHANGE
message to all programs with a parameter of SPI_SETNONCLIENTMETRICS.
The program is supposed to fetch the new non-client metrics, and adapt
accordingly.

So, you aren't interested in changing any of five fonts defined in the NONCLIENTMETRICS structure:
caption font, the small caption font, the menu font, the status bar
font, and the message box font ????

I didn't read that far to tell you the truth. But why on earth are they using NONCLIENTMETRICS for a thing such as message box fonts? If a message box isn't client, then I don't know what is...

MFC support in ATL Service.

22-Dec-03 1:20

your dialog is the main window hence the windows is showing its title bar and icon on the task bar, if you could set the main window to the model window.i.e m_pMainWnd then you will get the icon and title bar of the modeless dialog..
But i guess that also makes your modeless dialog as the main appilcation, closing that window maybe will terminate ur application not sure about it, but you can try it out.

It is not very clear what you want
but from what i make of it you want an SDI application with CFormview and the Form changes when you select something else from the menu or by pressing a button on FormView.
here is good article that explains in detail with sample code

I know to convert char buff[20] to an integer thro atoi function.

Meanwhile if any one have any logical ideas or some thing special for convert the CString value to an integer value.

I tried a lot. Thank in previous.,

Bye

CString str = "123";<br />
int i = atoi((LPCTSTR)str);

This is a valid conversion, CString explicitely supports a conversion to LPCTSTR.

Big Grin | :-D

Dominik

_outp(0x64, 0xAD);
and
__asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, al
do the same... but what do they do??
