It is working fine here. Not the one I suggested but the one you gave

TCHAR str1[50]=_T("");//(Or)//CHAR *str1=_T("");
_stprintf(str1,_T("The Sum is %d"),Add(10,20));
MessageBox(NULL,str1,_T("Add"),NULL);

_stprintf(str1,L"The Sum is %d",Add(10,20));

use swprintf instead of _stprintf if u r using L"The Sum is%d"

I feel it wont work

char *str1="" is equivalent to const char *str

that means we cannot change the content of the address stored in str

sprintf(str1,"The Sum is %d",Add(10,20));<br />

I think an exception will be raised coz str1 is just a pointer and no memory allocated for the result to be stored.

Hello; Thanks for all. I got the solution.
------------------
Previous code is
#include < tchar.h >
#include < stdio.h >
#include "stdafx.h"
Which is wrong.
------------------
Present code is
#include "stdafx.h"
#include < tchar.h >
#include < stdio.h >
Which is correct.
------------------
Oh. Sorry for my mistake Smile | :)

and Thanks for All.
Advance Happy new year to all

fading a dialogbox in

hi,

can anyone tell me how to make a dialogbox (modal and non modal) fade in ?
I have heard that you can do it with AnimateWindow(), but there is not much code around and MSDN isn't helping much either.

thanks for the replies in advance Smile | :)

well, if you are meaning something like this :

CMyDialog *dlg;

dlg=new CMyDialog;
dlg->Create(IDD_MAINDIALOG,NULL);

then
dlg->AnimateWindow() is not a member. Its a member of CWnd.

On the other hand, I had a look at Shog9 's code at http://www.codeproject.com/miscctrl/balloonhelp.asp[^] and did the following:

made the following addition in my .h file :

private:<br />
	typedef BOOL (WINAPI* FN_ANIMATE_WINDOW)(HWND,DWORD,DWORD);<br />
   FN_ANIMATE_WINDOW m_fnAnimateWindow;

made the edition in the default constructor as :

CMyDialog::CMyDialog(CWnd* pParent /*=NULL*/)<br />
: CDialog(CMyDialog::IDD, pParent),m_fnAnimateWindow(NULL)

and changed the WM_SHOW like this :

void CMyDialog::OnShowWindow(BOOL bShow, UINT nStatus) <br />
{<br />
	 if ( NULL != m_fnAnimateWindow )<br />
   {<br />
      <br />
         m_fnAnimateWindow( m_hWnd, 200, AW_BLEND);<br />
     <br />
   }<br />
}

now I get no compiler errors, the window shows, but no animation Cry | :((

OK i have figured it out, the problem was AW_BLEND. it don't work with child windows. I used AW_CENTER and it worked fine, but now the 2nd hurdle.
I have used bitmapped background and controls and they appear messed up.

any ideas what to do?

Make sure you set the bitmap background in the message handler for

WM_ERASEBKGND.

And if you are doing your own background painting return a NON-ZERO value. Big Grin | :-D

.. kiddin.. Use AnimateWindow in OnInitDialog Function like this :-

 BOOL CAnimateWndDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
	CDialog::OnInitDialog();

	// Set the icon for this dialog.  The framework does this automatically
	//  when the application's main window is not a dialog
	SetIcon(m_hIcon, TRUE);			// Set big icon
	SetIcon(m_hIcon, FALSE);		// Set small icon
	
	// TODO: Add extra initialization here
	
	::AnimateWindow(this->GetSafeHwnd(),5000,AW_BLEND);
	return FALSE;  // return TRUE  unless you set the focus to a control
}

... Kiddin. Use AnimateWindow Api in the OnInitDialog Function of Dialog like this, its working fine for me :-

BOOL CAnimateWndDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
	CDialog::OnInitDialog();

	// Set the icon for this dialog.  The framework does this automatically
	//  when the application's main window is not a dialog
	SetIcon(m_hIcon, TRUE);			// Set big icon
