Still no luck in hiding main window buttons

IsWindowVisible returns 0, indicating the buttons are not visible, but still they are visible on the screen, only when I minimize the dialog and reopen, it will hide the buttons.

I found some one having the same issue:
http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/windows/64274/

I would like to try his solution, but how to change hbrbackground of an existing window?

Here is the code that handles the tooltips

It works fine for all original buttons.
for the ones i copied from an other dialog, it does not work
it will not generate an OnTooltipNotify

<pre>BOOL CSend_DataDlg::OnToolTipNotify( UINT id,
NMHDR * pNMHDR,
LRESULT * pResult )
{

AFX_MODULE_THREAD_STATE* pModuleThreadState =AfxGetModuleThreadState();
//if(pModuleThreadState)
{
CToolTipCtrl* pToolTip = pModuleThreadState->m_pToolTip;
if(pToolTip)
pToolTip->SetMaxTipWidth(130);
}
// Get the tooltip structure.
TOOLTIPTEXT *pTTT = (TOOLTIPTEXT *)pNMHDR;

// Actually the idFrom holds Control's handle.
UINT CtrlHandle = pNMHDR->idFrom;

// Check once again that the idFrom holds handle itself.
if ((pTTT->uFlags & TTF_IDISHWND))
{
// Get the control's ID.
UINT nID = ::GetDlgCtrlID( HWND( CtrlHandle ));
// Now you have the ID. depends on control,
// set your tooltip message.

switch( nID )
{
//activate button
case IDC_MAP_1:
pTTT->lpszText = _T("Write curves of map 1");
break;
case IDC_MAP_2:
pTTT->lpszText = _T("Write curves of map 2");
break;
}
}
}
</pre>

Did that.

Not really a "user friendly" resource editor...

I see, the recourse editor is in DLUs

But still, at the position I want (147 DLU), I can not align my group box

Thank you Barakat,

But I allready tried that.
The solution as you describe works in my child dialog.
But not in the main.

I want to hide/show buttons to keep it simple for the user.
It seems easier to me if you only see 2 clickable buttons instead of 10 buttons and 8 of them are grayed...

Greetings
