You could try the WMI class Win32_MotherboardDevice.

hello sir,

actully i want to maximize the dialog but i have to change width only not height of the dialog and also change the icon of miximize .
when i use movewindow method then it differs from monitor size so what i have to do to maximize the dialog according to monitor size i.e. width is equal to monitor width but according to me.

how it is possible .

use GetDeviceCaps with the parameter HORZRES to get the width of desktop.

So just use ShowWindow(SW_MAXIMIZE).

I suggest u separate VC to 2 or more forums, by levels or topics.
personally, I don't like current styles even u get more posts, because I focus what I am interested - I think some of users have same feeling also - separating the forum to make things easier.

Well...i sort of agree with you i guess. You obviously have the possibility to set certain options, like no. posts per page and you can search the forums, but there is a lot of posting in this forum, so your post will quickly disappear from the main page. Most users only check the posts on the main page and don't take the time to browse through the older pages/posts.

If you decide to create different C++ topics/forums, then a problem will arise as to where you need to add your post. You'll get a lot of discussion that certain posts do not belong in the current forum and more rules need to be made up to keep everything organised. Even now certain users are already posting questions in the wrong forums. Imagine what would happen if you have like 5 or 10 different C++ forums.

Hi community,
i develop a litle Dialogapplication, and i want to display an litle Dialog, such as MessageBox, in a Function, and this is no problem, but the program stops when the Dialog is displayed, they should continue with execution!! How to create/show an Dialog in a Function without stoping the execution???

<br />
BOOL CMyFunction()<br />
{<br />
	AfxGetApp()->BeginWaitCursor();<br />
	CWaitDlg* pDlg = new CWaitDlg();<br />
	//CDialog* pDlg = new CDialog(IDD_WAIT_DIALOG, NULL);<br />
	BOOL bCreate = pDlg->Create(IDD_WAIT_DIALOG, AfxGetMainWnd());<br />
	pDlg->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);<br />
	AfxGetApp()->RestoreWaitCursor();<br />
	// do some action<br />
	// in my case is here a for() iteration<br />
	// after this close the Dialog:<br />
	pDlg->DestroyWindow();<br />
	delete pDlg;<br />
	pDlg = NULL;<br />
	AfxGetApp()->EndWaitCursor();<br />
	return TRUE;<br />
}<br />

MessageBox is a modal dialog box. You cannot interact with the application unless you close it.

Create a modeless dialog. This will display the dialog but won't block.

It is normal behavior, when you call DoModal, execution will stops and wait until you close your dialog. If you don't want this behavior, then you have to use a modeless dialog. See here[^] for more details.

Create a member variable of that dialog class( hope it is derived from CDialog)

1.Call the create function of that variable
2. Call ShowWindow( SW_SHOW );

then a new dialog will be create with out blocking the current function. Such dialogs area called modless dialogs

This method will not work for MessageBox Frown | :(

When you use DoModal() or ShowWindow() to display the dialog, there is no other execution untill EndDialog() or DistroyWindow() is called. So you have to use threads for your purpose. When you start some execution such as loop, create a thread and display your dialog or message box in that thread. After end of that excution, terminate thread to destroy dialog.
Good Luck.

Regarding Tab Control

Hi Gurus,
I have created Tab Control using CTabCtrl in my Dialog based Application. Here I am facing some problem, when I try to activate one tab page from another tab page. ie I wat to activate the first tab page when I click a control inside the second tab page. When I does this some sort exception is coming.

I think this trivial question to you all. I am very new to this VC++; and also I am using VC++ 6.0. When I debugged the Window pointer is NULL. I really miss some sort of initialization or something? All inputs are welcome.

Thanks & Regards

I guess you want to build a wizard mode application...

A better option would be CPropertySheet and CPropertyPage.

1. have all pages been actived for onece?
if u want to do something by code for a page which has not been actived, exceptions may occure, because all controls on the page have not been created - windows creates controls of a dialog when the dialog (or page) is actived.
2. check member variables crewated by wizard to see if controls on dialog have been deleted by u.

hope it helps.
