For application that I'm making, I'm using VC+6/MFC and for help, I'm Using "Winhelp.exe"
To open help file from my application, I use command like following
:
:
::WinHelp(this->m_hWnd,"filename.hlp",HELP_CONTEXT,HELP_SEC_NOTATION);
:
:
My question is how to keep that help window remain on top (when I click other part of application)
What I want is keeping help window alaways visible until close help window.
I hope you suggest way for that
Thank you.

For dialog base applications all you have to do is to add this method to your dialog:
void CTopDlgDemoDlg::StayOnTop() const
{
CRect rect;
// get the current window size and position
GetWindowRect( rect );
// now change the size, position, and Z order
// of the window.
::SetWindowPos(m_hWnd , // handle to window
HWND_TOPMOST, // placement-order handle
rect.left, // horizontal position
rect.top, // vertical position
rect.Width(), // width
rect.Height(), // height
SWP_SHOWWINDOW // window-positioning options);
}
// add a control button and command handler for the button to your dialog.
// then invoke StayOnTop().
void CTopDlgDemoDlg::OnBtnClick()
{
// make this dialog always on top.
StayOnTop();
}
Hope this helps ya out

I have a file that is trying to include the header file for MySQL. I have the file in the project folder and have added it to the project and I keep getting this error:
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'mysql.h': No such file or directory
Can anyone help?
If it's broken, I probably did it

What happens when you right-click on the #include <mysql.h> statement and select Open Document ... from the context menu? Does mysql.h open successfully?

I have the problem solved now. After I added the .lib files and set the additional include paths right everything is working fine now. By the way, I'm using code that I found on this site that are MySQL wrapper classes and another set of Dbase wrapper classes that I also found on this site. I have two different projects that I used just to make sure I could make them both work separately. Now I'm going to put them both in the same project to use them to do an export from a MySQL query result set to a .dbf file. When that's done, (hopefully today), I'm going to put them into a function that accepts the parameters for the connection to the MySQL database and prompts you with a Save As dialog for the .dbf file and put it in a dll so that it can be called from other applications as well. I was thinking about putting this DLL and source up on the site as well (of course with proper acknowledgements to the writers of the other 2 packages I'm using as well). I'm not sure if this is really simple for some of you, but anyone expresses interest, I'll gladly post it on the site. 
If it's broken, I probably did it

I have created an MFC CPP console process and redirected the stdin/stdout/stderr to a windows application. This is so the windows application can send console commands and process the output from the commands. The problem I am having is finding out the status of each command that I send (ie ERRORLEVEL or command result codes).
My implementation at this point creates a new console process, redirects the I/O and then commands can be issued with a printf to the new stdin pipe and reads from the new stdout pipe the results. However, there is no feedback to know when "CMD.EXE" has fininshed the last command so I can send the next one. I would like to keep the console process open and pipes in place, and simply send console commands and accumulate the output from stdout until the command is complete. Then send the next command ASAP.
I wind up having to use hard delays to wait for the last command to finish before I send the next one. I have searched high and low for the proper way to handle this functionality but I am finding no solutions. I assume a make utility does exactly what I am needing to do since it must shell and get the ERRORLEVELS/Result codes. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Just create a new console process for each task, and wait for it to exit, then start the next one. It's simpler, and you get a proper exit code on each one.

Well, I want to get emails from an HTTP server like Yahoo and Hotmail. Unfortunatly MS outlook 2000 doesn't support this (Outlook express does  ) I figured that enough companies and people at home use outlook, and such support would have been buildt already. I havent found it

I want to make a MS Outlook Add-in so I acces and view mail accounts that exist on a HTTP server.
The add-in part (which is my subject in the fist place!) is for a a windows program and therfore not suitable for the web dev forum.
The protocol I should use for talking to an HTTP server can be found somewhere in the big pile of knowledge they call RFC's. So you don't need to give me an technical explanation about it...
thanks for your time.

Hi all,
Does anyone know the correct, or at least best, way to access a solutions' document object instance from a modal dialog? I thought creating an instance of the new dialog, then having an member function of that instance set a pointer within the instance to the document instance (from the view object instance using the GetDocument() function), but I wondered if there was a way to directly access a pointer from the dialog?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Modify the dialog's constructor to include a CDocument* parameter. Then construct the dialog like:
CMyDialog dlg(this);
dlg.DoModal(); This assumes the dialog is created in some document method. If the dialog is created in the view, you can use:
CMyDialog dlg(GetDocument());
dlg.DoModal();

How do you display a dialog box once the main window of a program has already loaded up. I put created a dialog box at the end of CMainFrame::OnCreate but the dialog box appeared before the window loaded.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Put the dialog box launch code into the application's InitInstance routine. Call it after the execution of pFrame->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW), and the dialog box will pop up right after then main window has been displayed.

I have a program where we would like to have a large translucent window placed on top of the program's main windows. The problem is that this new window captures key presses and mouse events. Is there any way to set thing up so that any user interaction is send directly to the views underneath?

You need to forward the messages to the correct windows manually.
onwards and upwards...

I Googled the HTTRANSPARENT return value, and they mention another window style called WS_EX_NOACTIVATE, that looks like it may take care of the keyboard. I'll have to experiment to find out.

Hello,
I created a job for task scheduler but I didnt set the password, so the job will never be executed.
From I app I executed the job. The ciode is as follows:
code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITask *task;
hr = m_pITS->Activate( wjobname,
IID_ITask,
(IUnknown**) &task);
if ( FAILED ( hr ) )
return;
hr = task->Run();
if ( hr != S_OK ) {
MessageBox( m_Hwnd, "Could not execute job.", MAIN_APPNAME, MB_ICONERROR | MB_OK );
} else {
MessageBox( m_Hwnd, "Job executed successfully.", MAIN_APPNAME, MB_ICONINFORMATION | MB_OK );
}
task->Release();
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem is whether the job was executed or not (it is not executed coz I didnt give the user password) the function is always returning S_OK. So whatever may be the result I am getting the messagebox "job executed successfully".
Is it normal?

If you look in MSDN, you'll see:
"A return code of S_OK means that the request to run the work item has been made; it does not mean that the work item has started running. There may be a delay of a few seconds after Run returns before the work item actually starts running.
To determine whether the work item is running, call IScheduledWorkItem::GetStatus."
So, you're good checking that it was scheduled, you need to go further:
hr = task->Run();
if (SUCCEDED(hr))
{
HRESULT status;
BOOL started = FALSE;
while (TRUE)
{
::Sleep(250);
hr = task->GetStatus(&status);
if (FAILED(hr)) break;
if (SCHED_S_TASK_RUNNING == status)
{
started = TRUE;
break;
}
else if (SCHED_S_TASK_READY == status)
continue;
else
break;
}
if (started)
{
MessageBox(m_hWnd, "Job is running", ...);
}
else
{
MessageBox(m_hWnd, "Could not execute job", ...);
}
}
else
{
MessageBox(m_hWnd, "Could not start job", ...);
}
task->Release();
