My visual c++ sometimes is stubborn and refuses to show the listbox or that little tooltip function prototype thing...but I find after a reboot everything is usually fine.
I think if your using a third-party class(es) you have to actually add the header files to your project before functions prototypes and such will be displayed.
If all else fails you can try ctrl+shift+space...i think that brings up the window in question.

i have an oracle database and i have a combobox and two edit controls.i want to display record from table into the combobox and the two edit box using CRecordset.how can i do it

You use a combination of CDatabase and CRecordset objects, with a data source (DSN) on your machine. Basically, the CDatabase connects to the data source by it's name, and then a CRecordset object is created.
You then write a query with the recordset, and execute it. When done, the recordset object contains the results of the query.
See the MSDN for more information.

I am looking for a professional MFC UI Toolkit for the "latest" looks (VS.Net, Office 2003, etc) for a project at work. I have looked at a few like Dundas and CodeJock and would like opinions on these and any other toolkits that developers have used in professional projects. I am specifically looking for good/bad issues with usability, performance, and of course stability.

The CodeJock package contains a whole pleahora of useful tools, gadgets, widgets and sniffely-lifferies. Especially the Professional version is something to recommend: it should cater every need you have.
The downfall of this package is the lack of documentation. It is made with some sort of a half-automatic report creater, and thus most class members and/or functions are just labelled "This is member XXYYZZ of the class YYXXZZ" and nothing more. Such descriptions are not very helpful when trying to determine the necessary functions/members to get most out of the classes.
The Dundas package has a bit more well-done documentation, but doesn't offer as complex interface designs as the CodeJock one. Also, to enable certain features in the Dundas package, you'll have to consult the documentation. The CodeJock version is a bit more plug-n-play style, with the most advanced features left somewhat undocumented.
Both packages I've found pretty stable, and the source code coming with them is most useful in debugging and in creation of derived controls. If I'd need to choose only one, I would choose CodeJock, despite it's lacking documentation.

Hi All!
How to get a screenshot of desktop using DirectX?
With best regards, AlexMart

Have a look at the PushSourceDesktop directshow filter, which you can quickly test in graphedit. Even though the filter is built in directx it uses GDI to do the work of providing the images.

 I currently have the job of cleaning up around 3700 warnings. Most i have sorted but this one i am having trouble make go away.
Your help would be most appreciated, thanks in advance.
Code:
hwndStartButton=CreateWindow "button",szLoadStringOne,WS_CHILDWINDOW|WS_VISIBLE|WS_EX_TOPMOST | BS_PUSHBUTTON , (rect.right)/2-100,(rect.bottom+380)/2-50,200,25,hwnd,ISVM_STARTISV,hInst,NULL);
Warnings:
VC++ 6
t_eng1.c(965) : warning C4047: 'function' : 'struct HMENU__ *' differs in levels of indirection from 'const int '
t_eng1.c(965) : warning C4024: 'CreateWindowExA' : different types for formal and actual parameter 10
Info:
ISVM_STARTISV #defined as 214
I have tried casting the 8th param (ISVM_STARTISV) to a HMENU, which supresses the warning, but then the WM_COMMAND does not get sent.
Also i am not using 'CreateWindowExA' and have not included any headers or libraries.
The MSDN documentation for CreateWindow for this parameter shows why i am passing in an int.
MSDN fragment:
hMenu
Handle to a menu, or specifies a child-window identifier depending on the window style. For an overlapped or pop-up window, hMenu identifies the menu to be used with the window; it can be NULL if the class menu is to be used. For a child window, hMenu specifies the child-window identifier, an integer value used by a dialog box control to notify its parent about events. The application determines the child-window identifier; it must be unique for all child windows with the same parent window.
end MSDN
This button gets created dynamically, when it's pressed a WM_COMMAND message needs to be sent, i then need to identify
which button has been pressed.
i have tried :
hwndStartButton=CreateWindow "button",szLoadStringOne,WS_CHILDWINDOW|WS_VISIBLE|WS_EX_TOPMOST | BS_PUSHBUTTON ,(rect.right)/2-100,(rect.bottom+380)/2-50,200,25,hwnd,(HMENU *)ISVM_STARTISV,hInst,NULL);
The compiler now says:
warning C4047: 'function' : 'struct HMENU__ *' differs in levels of indirection from 'struct HMENU__ ** '
-- thanks in advance

What the MSDN fragment states is correct: this parameter specifies a handle to a menu, or a child-window identifier if WS_CHILD flag is set.
Check your window style definition: you are giving it WS_CHILDWINDOW instead of WS_CHILD. I think the code is a bit picky on this one, eventhough WS_CHILDWINDOW were defined similarly as WS_CHILD. Use WS_CHILD instead.
To eliminate the warning, you can either one of the following calling conventions. The first one does a static conversion, and the latter a static cast:
hwndStartButton = CreateWindow( "button", szLoadStringOne, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | BS_PUSHBUTTON, ... , hWnd, (HMENU) ISVM_STARTISV, hInst, NULL);<DIV>
hwndStartButton = CreateWindow( "button", szLoadStringOne, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | BS_PUSHBUTTON, ... , hWnd, static_cast<HMENU>( ISVM_STARTISV ), hInst, NULL); I am not completely sure how the first call will behave, but the second one should not give any warnings related to this matter. I might've typoed in there, so be careful when copying it. Also, you tried in your last lines to convert it to HMENU*. But that is not what the function requires. It wants a handle to a loaded menu, not a pointer to it's location. Just pass the ISVM_STARTISV, converting it to type HMENU with either one of the routines stated above.
As you can also see, I have removed the WS_EX_TOPMOST style from the call, as you can only use extended style flags when you use the CreateWindowEx function.
The topmost style is not appliable to a button: it will always be drawn "before" (in front of) it's parent window in Z-order. Otherwise your button would always be shown, even if there was a dialog "between" the parent window and the button. That would look extremely ackward, don't you think ?
I hope this will be help to you. If it doesn't work, post results here for more analysis..

The reason you get a warning about CreateWindowExA rather than CreateWindow is that CreateWindow is a #define for CreateWindowA (if UNICODE is not defined), and that CreateWindowA is a #define for CreateWindowExA, passing 0 for the first parameter. Documentation for this version is under CreateWindowEx.
This means that when the compiler complains about parameter 10, you need to fix parameter 9.
You do need to cast ISVM_STARTISV to HMENU. I don't know why your command stops working. Your code should then look like:
hwndStartButton = CreateWindow(
"button",
szLoadStringOne,
WS_CHILDWINDOW | WS_VISIBLE | WS_EX_TOPMOST | BS_PUSHBUTTON,
rect.right / 2 - 100,
(rect.bottom + 380) / 2 - 50,
200,
25,
hwnd,
(HMENU)ISVM_STARTISV,
hInst,
NULL
); (style guide: prefer a reinterpret_cast<hmenu> rather than a C-style cast if using C++).
I don't know why your button should stop working, though. Put a breakpoint in the parent window's WindowProc to see what value gets sent when you click the button.
The final problem is because HMENU is declared
typedef struct HMENU__ * HMENU; if STRICT is defined. If you see an error referring to Hxxx__ in Windows code, remove the two underscores and one * to interpret it properly.
