use ShellExecute to run C:\Windows\System32\services.msc
Naturally, you would use GetSystemDirectory to find the exact location.

Not required.
ShellExecute(this->m_hWnd,"open","services.msc",
"","",SW_SHOW);
That will do.
It searches the default paths.

I am developing an ATL server that will run on several remote systems. How can I pick a server to connect to at run time? I know that I can use DCOM configuration to specify the implementation location before running my application but I want to allow a user to select from a list of computers or IP address that house the server while the client is running. How do I tell ATL where the server is located at run time?
Thanks.

Take a look at the COSERVERINFO structure in CoCreateInstanceEx.

What would I have to do to use high color bitmaps in a CToolbar...?
I created a app with the wiz and tried changing the bitmap to a high color, but because CToolbar uses the 192,192,192 RGB color of 16 color toolbar bitmaps as a substitution color i'm assuming high colors won't work...?
Cuz well they didn't when I tried, unless i'm doing something wrong...?
I'm thinking I should just design a toolbar from scratch (CControlbar) and handle the loading of the bitmaps and all that stuff.
Should I pick apart CToolbar in MFC or does anyone know really cool toolbars I can use as example.
Anybody suggestions...?
Thanx!

You can use CToolBarCtrl::SetHotImageList and CToolBarCtrl::SetImageList to set the double color 24 bit toolbars
Nish
Yeah that's me down below

I just figured that out.
However i'm in need of something to do so I figure i'll tackle a custom 24 bit toolbar just for the heck of it.
Thanx Nish.

Hi.
I would like to know how to change (repaint) a new color for a CButton object, both group and/or options.
For example:
...
CButton mBtnGreen;
...
mBtnGreen.Create("Green", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | BS_CHECKBOX
CRect(CPoint(0, 0), CSize(25, 50)), this,
IDC_BTNOPT_GREEN);
...
By default, the color of option (button) "Green" is light gray, like cream. I would like to change the color of the background of the button and/or text. By default, the text is black.
I tried repaint the entire client area, but MFC ignores the button areas.
Thanks,
Kuphryn

Chris has an article that should meet your requirements nicely.

Anyone have any idea how to find how much space my CObject derived class is taking or will take up once its serialized?
I've serialized an object then manually written raw data at the end of the file. This works fine, but when I read it back, i figured I could serialize the object and pick up where the file pointer left off, but nope.
I forgot that CArchive allocates a buffer and reads in chunks so, i can't assume that the file pointer is immediately after the object i just serialized.
So, i need to find out what the actual disk space of my object is - any ideas?

I seriously wouldn't advise that Marcus.
It's not a good idea.
You might end up corrupting the serialized objects

Hmmm....I'm in a pickle, then.
Maybe you've tried this sort of thing, then. Basically I'm writing an object to a file as a header then appending various other files to create a large file. Basically, minus error checking:
fOut.Open(strFileOut,
File::modeCreate|CFile::modeWrite|CFile::shareDenyNone, &Error);
//the header
CArchive ar(&fOut, CArchive::store);
m_objInstrument.Serialize(ar);
//then i append the files
for(int i = 0; i < arFileNames.GetSize(); i++)
{
strFileName = arFileNames.GetAt(0);
arFileNames.RemoveAt(0);
fIn.Open(strFileName, CFile::modeRead, &Error))
dwLength = fIn.GetLength();
BYTE * pBuf = (BYTE *)malloc(dwLength);
fIn.Read(pBuf, dwLength);
fOut.Write(pBuf, dwLength);
fIn.Close();
free pBuf;
}
fOut.Close()
So you're saying this is a bad idea? Wait..I just noticed the CArchive::Write method...Interesting. I'm going to give this a try, but in the meantime if you have any suggestions, please feel free to let me know.

Here is something you could try:
CMemFile file;
CArchive ar(&file, CArchive::store);
pYourObject->Serialize(ar);
ar.Close();
DWORD dwSizeOfYourObject = file.GetLength();
file.Close();
I haven't tried it, so may be this would give you a size that is a multiple of nGrowBytes (parameter of the constructor of CMemFile, 1024 by default). 
Hope this helps,
David Defoort

what does this mean?
Run-Time Check Failure #2 - Stack around the variable 'Alt' was corrupted.
also what is a stack overflow really and how are they caused and prevented?
Thanks.
Steve

I do not know the answer to your first question.
stack overflow is when you run out of stack space in your process. They can be caused in a number of ways, but the reasons including calling a recursive function that recurses until there is no more stack space, a bad message loop is created and an endless number of function calls are created until there is no more stack space. Your stack pointer gets corrupted.
Why they are really bad is that each time you call a function, it creates a stack frame at the current stack pointer (SP). All of the stack variables that are created in your function are allocated on the stack as well as the parameters that are passed into the function. If you run out of stack space, then you lose the ability to make function calls and allocate stack varaibles.

Basically it is a new feature in VC7.
Let us say that Alt is a 10 byte character array. (char Alt [10]). If you write to the 11th byte, you will get this error.

Wow
That's indeed a cool feature.
Its amazing it wasnt there in VC 6.0.
We dont usually think of corrupted stacks.

There are 3 new debugging options that are nice. (But slow)
/RTCc - Checks for loss of precision. (i.e. char a = 10000)
/RTCs - Initialize local variables to non-zero. Detect over-runs and under-runs of arrays on the stack. Stack pointer verification (i.e. calling a __stdcall routine using __cdecl which has totally different stack requirements.)
/RTCu - Reports when a variable has been used prior to initialization. This is a run-time check and not compile time.
