There is this article on CP: A Technique to Customize the Title Bar of Windows[^] which lets you draw the title bar of an application. I have to do the same thing but all my applications are written in MFC. So my question how could I use the above mentioned code in MFC? Or is it possible? If not how could I custom draw the title bar in MFC. Or how could I combine the two?

Any sugestions would be greatly apreciated. This is a time sensitive matter.

very interesting article. i'll look into it in more detail. in the mean i found another solution for my problem. I just set the border to none in my dialog getting rid of the system tray, and added a background with my system tray and the buttons i needed.

wouldn't like to do this each time Smile | :)

, so i'll look into the article as soon as i have the time.

thanks,

You can also use cotrol subclassing.
Just derive a new class , for example CMyEdit,from CEdit and overload the WM_CHAR message handler for the new class ,like this :

void CMyEdit::OnChar(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags) 
{
        TCHAR c = (TCHAR) nChar;

	if(c=='A'||c=='B'||c=='C'||c=='D'||isdigit(c))
        {
         //call base class OnChar() function
         CEdit::OnChar(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags);
	}
}

After this , create an Edit box on your dialog and attach a CMyEdit variable to it. Then you will be able to type inside only "0123456789ABCD" letters

Good but use isxdigit(), This will allow lower case as well.

Modify Giorgi function this way:-

const short g_arrAllowed[]={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,'a','b','c','d','e','A','B','C','D','E',VK_BACK,VK_DELETE};
 
void CMyEdit::OnChar(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags) 
{
        
        for(int i=0;i<sizeof(arrAllowed)/sizeof(short);i++)
        {
          if(nChar==arrAllowed[i])
          {
	 //call base class OnChar() function
         CEdit::OnChar(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags);
         return;
          }
 }
	
}

{        <br />
     if(nChar=='A'||nChar=='B'||nChar=='C'<br />
      ||nChar=='D'||isdigit(c)||nChar==VK_BACK)<br />
     {         <br />
       //call base class OnChar() function<br />
         CEdit::OnChar(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags);	}}

If that's infeasible, then is there other ways around to retrieve the USB PID(Product Identifier)/VID(Vendor...)?

oleacc.dll & WinNT problem

Mohammad Tarik12-Oct-05 19:33

Mohammad Tarik

12-Oct-05 19:33

I've used VC++7 to write a program that gets some iformation from another program, parse it, do calcualations, and output the result.
It's working well on WinXP and Win2K.
However, I need it to work on WinNT (my friend need it). When he tries to run the program, a message shows up "Initialization of the dynamic link library C:\WINNT40\system\OLEACC.DLL failed. The process is terminating abnormaly".

Has anybody gone through a similar situation, or knows anything about it? Do you think that I should change something in the program, or the problem is because of the dll only?

Thanks
