Re: Reload Icon when Explorer Crashes Jon Hulatt10-Jan-02 0:57 Jon Hulatt 10-Jan-02 0:57  personally, i'd install a timer, and in the timer proc (attempt to) remove the icon and reinstall it again. doing this every 5 seconds or so won't take much cpu time and should work ok. Sorry to dissapoint you all with my lack of a witty or poignant signature. Re: Reload Icon when Explorer Crashes James R. Twine10-Jan-02 4:49 James R. Twine 10-Jan-02 4:49     How about doing it the way that Microsoft recommends...    Look up the "TaskbarCreated" registered message (requires that IE 4.0 or greater is installed).  It is sent by Explorer whenever the Taskbar is (re)created, so if Explorer crashes and restarts, your app will get sent the message, and can re-add its icon.    This is the way Services can install an Icon to the Taskbar's Status Area* when someone logs on.    * Calling it a "Tray Icon" is a common mistake.    Peace! -=- James. Re: Reload Icon when Explorer Crashes Jason Hooper10-Jan-02 7:14 Jason Hooper 10-Jan-02 7:14  Thanks for the response; I'm looking into it now. And, what's the best way to crash Explorer (besides using it normally)? Gotta love testing -Jason nirgle.bitdevil.com Re: Reload Icon when Explorer Crashes James R. Twine10-Jan-02 8:13 James R. Twine 10-Jan-02 8:13  > And, what's the best way to crash Explorer (besides using it normally)?    On NT/Win@K, Task Manager, Processes tab, select Explorer, right-click and select End Process.    On Win9x, CTRL-ALT-DELETE, (while the task list dialog is up, click on the Explorer window (the desktop) a few times for about 5-10 seconds, and select Explorer int the dialog and try to end it. You should get the end task dialog for Explorer.    Peace! -=- James. Re: Reload Icon when Explorer Crashes Michael Dunn10-Jan-02 7:48 Michael Dunn 10-Jan-02 7:48  James R.

Christian Graus9-Jan-02 16:11 Christian Graus 9-Jan-02 16:11  I have a problem in my (nonMFC) app, in that when I get a Window rect, it does not appear to take into account the size of the caption or the menu. A further problem is that the menu sometimes takes up more than one line, when the dialog is resized, and so I need to know how many rows there are before I can use SM_CYMENU or whatever it is, to get the correct value. Can anyone point me in a direction that is not circular ? Christian I have come to clean zee pooollll. - Michael Martin Dec 30, 2001 Sonork ID 100.10002:MeanManOzI live in Bob's HungOut now
