I think you want to display a message box right?
So you can use EN_CHANGE handler for this purpose. And use GetWindowText(...)
to count the number of chars in the edit.
But this won't prevent the user from furthur inserting any chars in the edit.
But you can prevent this by subclassing the edit and handling WM_CHAR message. If the count in less than 3 then fine call the base class handler or else don't call it instead display a message box. This will prevent the user from inserting further chars.
Hope this is what you want.

I'll assume you are using MFC, so if so you just need to write a function on the edit boxes EN_CHANGE event. The code insode the function would be something like this
{
// m_EditText is the CString that stores the edit text(whatever you called it)
if (strlen(m_EditText) > 3)
{
// Use other message box function and add correct handle if you know it
MessageBox(NULL, "My Text is to long", "Message Caption", 0);
}
}
I believe there are functions to get the size directly from the edit box in MFC but I don't like MFC so I tend to avoid it where possible.

What I wanted was moving the focus of my keyboard to another place as soon as the number of charactors in the editbox reaches 3.
And I think what you told me can solve my problem.
Thanks a lot!

Hmm didn't get you.
HOW WHAT wrote: 2, i want paint it gradient background
You can use GradientFill function for this purpose.
HOW WHAT wrote: because the window can change the size, when the size is changed, i need redraw the background, how to do?
To redraw background on size change just handle WM_ERASEBKGND and return TRUE to indicate to the application that you have done the background drawing.

thanks for your Reply.
1.i try in OnSize() used SetWindowRgn(),right? have other idea? my mean is the windows is small and SetWindowRgn it is small round, and the window is big SetWindowRgn it is big round.
2.Some time ago, i tried your method but when the window size change big, the background is confusion, the old background(1) still exist, other area redraw ok.
old size
|--------|-------|
| 1 | |
|--------| |
| |
| background |
|---------------| now size
BTW:i say the window can change the size , mean is the window flags had WS_MAXIMIZEBOX and WS_THICKFRAME
 My english so bad, shame.

Yeah it happens because the visible portion need not be painted again.
Try using CClientDC. This way you can paint the entire region.

Hi,
Use GDI+ to draw the bitmaps.
Make the list box owner drawn.
Create a Graphics object and initialise with the listbox DC.
Create an Image object and using Graphics::DrawImage draw the image in the required cell.
Image and Graphics are GDI+ classes.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi there, Iv wrote a program to transfer files between a cleint and a server,the code works fine for small files but not for large files,im going to post the code wich i hope will help other people trying to do something similar and in hope that i can get some suggestions on how to improve the code iv wrote.
<server>
{
char *buffer;
char sizebuf[20] = "";
long SizeOfFile = 1;
long BytesSent = 0;
std::ifstream file ("C:\\Windows\\Example.exe" std::ios::in | std::ios::binary | std::ios::ate);
if (!file)
{
MessageBox(NULL,"Error Opening File",NULL,MB_OK);
}
SizeOfFile = file.tellg(); //get size of file
file.seekg (0, std::ios::beg);
ltoa(SizeOfFile,sizebuf,10); //put sizeoffile in char buf
send(newsock,sizebuf,strlen(sizebuf),0);//send the size to client
buffer = new char[SizeOfFile];
file.read (buffer,SizeOfFile).eof();
do{
BytesSent = send(newsock,buffer,SizeOfFile,0);
}while(BytesSent < SizeOfFile);
Here i dont know if i should be reading blocks of the file into the buffer in the do while loop or out side of the loop and i dont know how to equally divide the file into "Chunks" to be sent separatly and rebuilt the other side help would be appriciated
<client><mfc>
{
char buffer[20];
long SizeOfFile = 0;
char* recvfilebuf;
recv(Socket,buffer,sizeof(buffer),0); //recv size of file to be d/l
SizeOfFile = atol(buffer);
ZeroMemory(buffer,20);
recvfileBuf = new char[SizeOfFile];
std::fstream file (C:\\Example.exe, std::ios::out | std::ios::binary | std::ios::ate); //Dir of our new .exe
if (!file)
{
MessageBox(NULL,"Error Opening File",MB_OK);
}
do
{
recieved = recv(Socket,recvfileBuf,SizeOfFile,0); //recv actuall file
file.write(recvfileBuf,recieved).eof(); //write new file
}while(recieved < SizeOfFile);
ZeroMemory(buffer,20);
}
I know there is a better way of doing what im trying to do but its hard without extensive know how on the subject..Any comments would be greatly apriciated
Thankyou

 Question : In MDI application, when I open a new document, I want the frame size set by myself rather than the fixed size set by MFC. I wonder where should I implement this, and how?
Thanks

In the view, I would have thought. That's the class responsible for the way the document is represented, so when one is constructed and shown, you'd need to size it.
