The problem is that the D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS is not defined. Make sure you have included the correct headers in the correct order. Your version of VS will make no difference.

You cannot convert a DC into a palette. A DC is a container which holds many things for drawing, but it can only hold 1 of each thing at any time. It holds things like pens, fonts, brushes, bitmaps and palettes.

Usually you need to make a palette then select it into the DC. Can you tell me why you need a palette? maybe then I will be able to give you a better solution.

Hello,

how it is possible to register and then get the message WM_DWMWINDOWMAXIMIZEDCHANGE from system?
"Windows can register to hear about when other windows have been maximized"

I have tried to check for the message ... but I will never get this message ;-(
(Desktop Composition is enabled)

LRESULT CALLBACK wndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    switch(message)
    {
        case WM_DWMWINDOWMAXIMIZEDCHANGE:
            /* message received - do something */
            break;

        default:
            return DefWindowProc(hWnd, message, wParam, lParam);
    }

    return 0;
}

Thanks,

Regards michi

This may be a dumb question, but your app is running under Vista, right?

more info about "browserinfo" ?

i'm doing a dialog with this browse for folder box and i'm thinking to add more parameters/flags to the BROWSEINFO. So anyone have a list of things to put in the browsinfo, like default dir, toolbars and more?

this is what i got now, makes a box with title "hello" and OK, Cancel and New folder buttons

BROWSEINFO bi;
memset(&bi, 0, sizeof(bi));

bi.hwndOwner = hOwner;
bi.lpszTitle = "Hello";
bi.ulFlags = 0x0060 | BIF_RETURNFSANCESTORS | BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS; //more flags?
//more bi. things?

thanx

..i'm getting an error when using bi.ulFlags = BIF_USENEWGUI;

error C2065: 'BIF_USENEWUI' : undeclared identifier

heres the code i'm using, i must be doing something wrong:

#include "shlobj.h" //dont know if it matters

BOOL BrowseForFolder(HWND hOwner, CString& folderpath)
{
::OleInitialize(NULL);

// Create a pointer to a MALLOC (memory allocation object)
// then get the Shell Malloc.
IMalloc* pMalloc = 0;
if(::SHGetMalloc(&pMalloc) != NOERROR)
return false;

// Now create BROWSEINFO structure, to tell the shell how
// to display the dialog.
BROWSEINFO bi;
memset(&bi, 0, sizeof(bi));

bi.hwndOwner = hOwner;
bi.lpszTitle = "hello";
bi.ulFlags = BIF_USENEWUI | BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS;

// Now show the dialog and get the itemIDList for the selected folder.
LPITEMIDLIST pIDL = ::SHBrowseForFolder(&bi);
if(pIDL == NULL)
return false;

// Now create a buffer to store the path, thne get it.
char buffer[_MAX_PATH];
if(::SHGetPathFromIDList(pIDL, buffer) == 0)
return false;

::OleUninitialize();

// Finally, set the string to the path, and return true.
folderpath = buffer;
return true;
}

You've missed the letter 'G' int the BIF_USENEWGUI

Sometimes yes, but probably not now Wink | ;)

It's really BIF_USENEWUI, not BIF_USENEWGUI.

ahaa so why did You use the sentence:
"..i'm getting an error when using bi.ulFlags = BIF_USENEWGUI;"

at the top of your question? There is definitely BIF_USENEWGUI

Dominik Reichl17-Feb-07 1:20

17-Feb-07 1:20

But in the code he used the correct one Smile | :)

As written in the documentation, the BIF_USENEWUI flag is supported only by version 5.0 and higher.

Therefore, define _WIN32_IE to 0x0500 or higher before including the shlobj.h file. Normally you define this in the StdAfx.h file, which gets included before all other header files.
