Ok. So far I can control...
Splitter width
3D Border width (0,1,2(default))
Which border sides are drawn
All the colors of the drawn border sides (if thickness 2, 2 colors each)
Face color of splitter bar
All border and face colors of the splitter box (shown/used on dynamic splitters)
Useful?

 That would be tough - I need to investigate that further.
Still finishing it up in article-worthy (hopefully) fashion.

Interesting. I'd probably have to see a demo app. in action. Or get sleep. One of the two anyway.

Hmm...maybe it can be faked by setting border width to 0 and then setting WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE on each view EXCEPT the views that authors don't want. Would that work? I'll try it sometime in the next two days with ST_SplitterWnd, but it would be nice to know if it will work up front before I burn a couple hours trying.

Good idea. I'll send the code tomorrow am - it's easy enough to test - it's derived from
CSplitterWnd.

Anything happening with this? I've been busy with other projects and haven't had time to try anything out.

I am not sure you can do that reliably - under some situations, even trying to closing the console can result in a process being forceably terminated as opposed to ending normally. Launch a command prompt, run the FTP client in it and then try to close the console window by clicking the [X] for an example.
I do not know of a single way to have a process be able to execute some kind of atexit(...) functionality in all cases of the process ending (normally or abnormally).
My suggestion, if something MUST run regardless of how the process ends, is to have another lightweight process that gets the HANDLE to the first process, and when the HANDLE becomes signaled, it indicates that the first process has ended and your second program can do/run something.

Hey guys, I'm writing a small in house tool with VS2005. I've been messing around with different examples, and I'm about at the point of pulling what's left of my hair out and jumping out of a window.
This may sound incredibly stupid, but I cannot add a scroll bar, neither vertical nor horizontal, to my application.
Secondly, I can't figure out how to resize the applications window to the size of the image being opened.
Project created with MFC wizard, single document, and working inside of the ChildView generated class.
I win because I have the most fun in life...

Use a CScrollView derived view class, all the scroll bar handling stuff is then already done for you.
Secondly, take a look at the AdjustWindowRect[Ex] API.
You may be right
I may be crazy

I create a process and I want to monitor what processes get access to my process, and in some cases deny the access.
How to realize this thing?

That is the question  What type of access are you talking about? The OS prevents access of
processes from other processes.

Hi
i hav lots of c and c++ programming on TurboC++ 3.0
Now i wanna migrate to VC++ 6.0
being a beginner in win32 env. can anybody point me to some urls or give me some tips as how to start, which part to do first, etc. as there are lots of projects in its dialog box. Im confused wat to do first and where to search
Spread wat u Know!

this is not a real answer to your expectations, but why starting with Visual C++ 6 ? the compiler is pretty old, and really far now from the C++ standard. If you can aquire i'd suggest to work with Visual Studio 2005, or at least 2003.
another question comes in mind. why do you really need to migrate that legacy code, even from Turbo C++, if it does work already ? It sounds like a waste of time to migrate all the GUI specificities from one dev environment to the other

Grab one of Petzold's or Schildt's books. They're great for starting Windows development.

While Petzold's books are supposed to be good, Schildt's books are not very highly regarded in the C and C++ community. For example, when looking at the book reviews at accu.org[^] (the Association of C and C++ Users), most of Schildt's books are rated as "Not Recommended".

Those are opinions, nothing more, nothing less. If a "not recommended" book actually helps someone, does that make it a good book or a bad book? It all boils down to what you need vs. what the book offers. Those reviewers you referenced might have been looking for "A" but the book(s) offered "B", thus they are "not recommended."

True, these are just the opinions of the reviewers, though often the reviewers are themselves experts in the field and thus are able to point out flaws that less-experienced people might not be able to notice. For example, when a new math paper/theory comes out, it must be peer-reviewed by other experts in the field, and not by random people who just happen to have a casual interest in math.
However, in Schildt's case, it has been documented[1,2] that there are many factually inaccurate and sometimes blatantly wrong statements in his books, and much of the code he presents teaches bad style or dangerous practices. If someone is trying to learn, then he most likely will not be able to distinguish good practice and bad practice, and thus is likely to learn bad habits, which might never be corrected.
So, take the reviews with a grain of salt. If someone is able to gain useful knowledge from a "bad" book, then that's great. However, if a person reads this book and then believes what he is doing is correct when there are much better, safer ways to do the same, wouldn't you like to know about it, and help people to avoid that mistake?

Fair enough. I only read one of his books (dated 198x). I can't remember the exact title, but it was an awesome book filled with all sorts of neat stuff. Sparked my interest greatly.

Cool. While I'm sure that not all of his stuff is bad (and one of the reviewers that rated his book as "not recommended" even commented that Schildt's writing style was very good), the issues that I have pointed out above have made me wary of his books. But, this is my personal opinion. You know what they say about opinions... they're a lot like a**-holes: everyone has one, and they all stink
