For a list control?

Sorry my Mistake, it should be CListCtrl::GetItemText

Of course I think you show that your answer is CListBox.;P

Well, because you mention columns, presumably you are dealing with a ListViewControl and not a ListBox, so try something like this:

TCHAR pszText[_MAX_PATH];<br />
LVITEM lvi = { 0 };<br />
lvi.mask = LVIF_TEXT;<br />
lvi.pszText = pszText;<br />
lvi.cchTextMax = _MAX_PATH;<br />
lvi.iItem = 0;  // put the row number here<br />
lvi.iSubItem = 0;  // put the column number here<br />
SendMessage(hwndList,LVM_GETITEM,(WPARAM)0,(LPARAM)(LPLVITEM)&lvi);

lvi.pszText may not be still pointing to pszText upon return.

Wasn't that much obvious from the subject?

Well yes I thought it was, but I also thought I had better state the obvious, just in case the other 3 were right.

If you are using MFC, you should have a CListBox member variable associated with the listbox control. Use its GetItem() method instead.

CScrollView shows an unneccesary vertical scrollbar

Hi,
I have a csplitterWnd based class with 2 view and one view contains cscrollview along with some other controls. My problem is when i set the scroll sizes of the scrollview i sometimes get an unnecessary vertical scroll bar. This scrollbar disappears as soon as i move the split. Remember the splitter view is not direct child of the csplitterwnd class. But i still tried to call the recalclayout of the csplitterwnd when ever i change the scrollsizes of the cscrollview. But the scrollbar is still there. Any suggestions please!

Take a look into ResizeToFit or try to SetScrollSizes with a lower value.

A dialog box will have a different frame. Better create new Window being child of the active one.

Diference between Modal and NonModal is if you are allowed to make another things while the dialog is active, but has nothing to do with your question.

do you mean something like this:

LONG WINAPI IsUserAdmin(void)
{
BOOL b;
SID_IDENTIFIER_AUTHORITY NtAuthority = SECURITY_NT_AUTHORITY;
PSID AdministratorsGroup;

b = AllocateAndInitializeSid(
&NtAuthority,
2,
SECURITY_BUILTIN_DOMAIN_RID,
DOMAIN_ALIAS_RID_ADMINS,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
&AdministratorsGroup);

if(b) {
if (!CheckTokenMembership( NULL, AdministratorsGroup, &b)) {
b = FALSE;
}
FreeSid(AdministratorsGroup);
}

return(b);
}

The best thing about windows security -- is that you don't have to understand it. All those functions that want a SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES pointer happily accept a NULL pointer!

and still it works, using NULL indicates that default attributes for the process will be used hence the job is done for you. if you need a different attributes then you can set them up, used to be pretty dull and long code but it is getting better. get hold of books 'Writing Secure Code' and 'Writing Secure Code for Windows Vista', that's good start.

char szName[64];
GetUserName(szName, sizeof(szName));
strcmp(szName, "Administrator");

I'm not sure how useful this is going to be, however. I would think you'd want to know if the currently logged on user was a member of the Administrator group or not.
