ThatsAlok also says that there are ways to fool the TM. He says that he has some code in an article that he wrote that does the trick, but I couldn't find it yet.

I've also seen apps that didn't close even when I wanted them too, but that was in the Win98 days. Now with Win2K and WinXP I don't have that problem anymore.

Is there anyway to handle the forced exit of an application by task manager?

I Believe, No Way. Better way is to hide you application from TaskManager.

When the user first selects to terminate the process from the task manager, you get a WM_CLOSE message where you can save files and so on. However, if the app doesn't close, the task manager will display a message allowing the user to shut down the application immediately. On this attempt, you don't seem to get a message. (At least not one that is show in spy++).

I'm thinking there's got to be a way to prevent closing as I've seen applications that couldn't be closed from the task manager. However, I don't know how they accomplished that.

Sorry if this is super easy, but I'm a newbie at this stuff. Can somebody tell me what I need to do to create an open document dialog box? Basically I need to be able to choose a sound file by clicking a button. Thanks.

Simple with MFC. Use the CFileDialog class. It encapsulates the windows commond dialog box.

Look at CFileDialog in the MSDN (I suppose you are using MFC)

Okay I read that documentation and I played around with stuff, but I'm really not sure how to create m_ofn and then use its member functions.

Thanks a very good example thanks. Should I just rely on example code and creating classes and objects manually rather than going through the class wizard?

If it is just a simple class, by all means you can do it manually. If you are creating dialog classes or any other types that deal with the windows interface, the class wizard is better and safer.

you can use this little piece of code :-

 CFileDialog m_DlgFile(TRUE);
if(m_DlgFile.DoModal()==IDOK)
{
MessageBox(m_DlgFile.GetPathName( ),"selected File Name");
}

I'm trying to understand how it's done automatically when you use the wizard, so I searched for CFileDialog but I can't find it anywhere in my application. I started a MFC single window app that has the open file functionality already working. How is that working?

The CWinAPP class do that for you, see this Message Handller defination

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CSdiApp, CWinApp)
	//{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CSdiApp)
	ON_COMMAND(ID_APP_ABOUT, OnAppAbout)
		// NOTE - the ClassWizard will add and remove mapping macros here.
		//    DO NOT EDIT what you see in these blocks of generated code!
	//}}AFX_MSG_MAP
	// Standard file based document commands
	ON_COMMAND(ID_FILE_NEW, CWinApp::OnFileNew)
	ON_COMMAND(ID_FILE_OPEN, CWinApp::OnFileOpen)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

Here's what I wrote so I know this part works. I created a new class "ButtonP" which has a base class of CFileDialog, but could I have just created an object of CFileDialog instead? Also I wanted to create an "on button pressed" function but I didn't know how.

void CMy3daudioDlg::OnBrowse()
{
CDialog::OnInitDialog();

ButtonP open(TRUE);

CString mystring;
open.DoModal();
mystring = open.GetPathName();
AfxMessageBox(mystring);
}
