I am currently working on an program that needs to delete itself when executed. How would I go about achieving this? Is it possible to do while it is executing, and if not (which I expect), how would I go about deleting it and the directory it resides in after the next reboot?
[edit:]
Ravi mentioned that when the app ends, it should add a registry entry (I forget which) requesting Windows to delete it the next time Windows restarts (in a reply to Mazdak's similar question). Does any one know wha tthis is, before I set aside six hours to try and searh MSDN?
Any help will be appreciated!

Well I had guessed as much, in which case I am going to have to stick with the second approach; just how to do it? I can think of two different approaches, but I don't think either is the correct way to do it.
I'll let you know if I find a solution.

I think it must be relative to the time of day.

But I don't think so,If I don't make mistake I THINK one of person that answer me that time was Ravi,but not the same answer. He learn something during these days that he didn't know that day.

Depends on the platform. Windows prevents you from deleting files that are running, in DOS though you could have made an application that deleted itself since it goes into RAM on runtime.
Anyway, you could probably edit Autoexec.bat, Win.ini or the registry to make sure it is deleted on the next reboot.

I've just started using CreateDIBSection with 8bit bitmaps. I have filled the BITMAPINFO.bmiColors member with my 256 colours, and I select the palette into the DC with SelectPalette, and it all works perfectly. But how do I change the colours in BITMAPINFO.bmiColors after I've called CreateDIBSection, because it seems to be these that the colour of my bitmap relies on - like repaletization - how is it possible?
Thanks for the advice...

Hello!
Here's another dumb newbie question for you:
Let's say I have class A that has class B as one of it's members. Is there a function so I can reach class A from class B? You know, as an object.parent or something like that.
thank you all!

Nothing built into the language. You can store a pointer to the outer class as a member of the inner class when it is created however, and just use that.

Sip my mind.

As far as I know you can't do it directly.
But instead of putting one class inside the other you could derive one from the other (inheritence, so it gets the same functions and vars as the first one and you can add more).
Then you set the as "friends" so you can approach one from the other.
Try it, or something like that. I don't remeber how it goes exactly.

I made my control using VC++ 6.0.
I want to make another to inherit this control.
what shall i do?
I know that my control is inherited from COleControl. And then It can works that I can make inherited ActiveX control from my custom control.
Isn't it right?
How can i do that?
Thank you! 
please contact me via jav@korea.com

When you create your ActiveX it has a class that name YourActivexCtrl,I TKINK you can inherit from that class.

I thought you couldn't inherit from ActiveX controls like you do a C++ class?
AFAIK you only have 2 options:
1) Containment
2) Aggregation
Or something like that...i'm too lazy to look up ATL books and I rarely program ActiveX controls.
These options fall short of inheriting like MFC classes do.

I don't think that guy uses ATL,He said his contol inherit from COleControl,I think he use MFC.

Thank you for your kind adresses.
I have already done that... but that had many errors...
for example,
I made a MyControl.ocx using MFC(app wizard) which class is CMyControlCtrl.
And then I tried to make MyControl2.ocx inherited from CMycontrolCtrl.
But They had a lots of Errors.
Could you show me a sample.....?
Bye....

I don't know right now but i will check that in detail.
Here My Method is followed.....
1. Create the MyControl.ocx using App Wizzard(not ATL)
2. I wanted to make another control inherited from MyControl.ocx. And I got base codes from App wizzard(Active X control).
3. I added the wrapper class(CMyControl.c, XXXX.h)from the registered MyControl to my project(MyControl2).
4. I changed the control class definition in MyControl2Ctrl.h like that....
class MyControl2Ctrl: COleControl....
-> class MyControl2Ctrl: CMyControl
and i compiled my code ...... but :< I had lots of errors.....
I don't think that Inheriting the control is simple as above....
I don't know how I can approach that....
Could you show me the instruction... please...?
bye

Hi,
I use a CListCtrl for displaying a list of sequences to do.
For example 10 Events.
If my ListCtrl is little I can't show the all events.
So, When I execute each Event, I want to show the Event played and the Next.
Best Regards
youssef

CListCtrl::EnsureVisible() should work for you.
