Mike Dunn's C++ FAQ, §7.6, shows how to have a dialog hidden at start-up. I guess you can adapt the technique to your needs.

Thank you. I just tried it and that solution was very easy to adapt successfully. I guess I should have checked the FAQs first.

Ok this is a simple question.
Can you have all DialogBoxes, TextBoxes, resources etc in DLL, and then have .exe file call some kind of initialisation function contained in DLL that would start whatever application is supposed to do.
Are there any problems with this. I haven't tried implementing myself.
[thinkig in terms of Win32 API]

Venet.

No problem, but you have to be careful when loading resources, because you need the instance handle; and a simple call to GetModuleHandle(NULL) will not give it to you (it will return the calling exe), so you need to get it in the DllMain function and use for all resource loading tasks.
I can´t see more problems actually...

I store the name of a user selected database in a member of the document in my MDI project. I need to access the name of the database from the CFileDialog pathname in a function in my mainframe class. If I were in a view class I'd get a pointer to the doc. But if I'm in the mainframe class, how do I get to the string variable stored in the doc?
Thanks,

Okay. Thank you. I'll try it and see if I can accomplish what I want with your solution.
Appreciate your input!

I can see that everyone has the "SoftWare" key so the first RegOpenKeyEx will always succeed. But the second key "MyCompany" gets created for the very first time when you close the app! SO at startup, when that key isnt even there, I found that RegOpenKeyEx fails, but nothing bad happens and the program continues...
// Open the Software key under HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software",
0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, &keyHandle1);
// Open the MyCompany key under Software.
RegOpenKeyEx(keyHandle1, "MyCompany",
0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, &keyHandle2);
I just wanted to make sure this observation is correct, or whether I need to check for ERROR_SUCCESS etc...
Thank you,
ns

RegCreateKeyEx opens key if it exists and creates it if it doesn't exist - exectly what you need in such situation.
In any case program should check return code and handle errors. For example, if you run program in Guest account, RegCreateKeyEx may fail.

i have an edit control on dialog box and i am not using MFC, i want to validate that only numbers should be entered in the field. what is the possible way out. help me out PLZ

You're better off doing it yourself anyhow. Handle WM_KEYDOWN in the edit control, and then you can do your own validation. You can set the number style, or if you need negative numbers or decimals, you can deal with that in the same message.

Actually, I think he would be better off handling the EN_UPDATE notification, that way he can properly validate any text that is pasted into the edit control.

In the resource editor with the dialog box displayed, right click the edit control, select properties, select the styles tab, then check the Number checkbox. This will allow only the digits 0-9.

Hello,
I have a program that makes images smaller before sending. I do not modify the original image so I make a resized copy into a temporary folder. Then I use
MAPISendMail(NULL, NULL, &mapiMsg, (FLAGS)(MAPI_LOGON_UI | MAPI_DIALOG), 0) to start the email client software. If users use outlook then the function doesn't return until the mail got send out or it closed. However, if users use such as netscape mail or hotmail as default email program then the function return right after it started. The problem is that I delete those temprary files right after MAPISendMail return. If I do not delete them right away, when should I delete them? There's no way for me to know when those file don't need anymore.
Any solutions?
Thanks,
Hiusing

I created a little app where you throw a ball and it bounces. You can see the app here:
http://thresholdx.com/misc/Ball.exe
To throw the ball, hold the left mouse button, gain some speed and release. I bet you know what I mean  . Oh and if it jumps wildly when you run it, just restart the app, it is some silly bug I will get to later.
I have two problems with it.
1) When the speed of the ball is high its motion stops to be smooth and you can basically see him jumping and moving  The reason is that to make the illusion of speed I move the ball more and more pixels at a animation-timer-tick.
One solution I thought of is to make the number of pixels the ball moves always 1 but instead change the animation timer frequency. The bigger is the frequency the faster will the ball move.
Problem is that the regular Win32 timer is too slow for such task and can't move the ball quickly enough. I read the article on CodeProject and figured I should use the multimedia timer.
What do you think? Am I on the right path here?
2) The ball flickers.. It is not very visiable but it happens and that means I am doing something wrong.
Here's my code to draw the ball (and delete the previous one):
void CBall::Draw(int X, int Y)
{
// Deletes the previous ball draw
BitBlt(m_DialogBox.Dc(), m_X, m_Y, m_Size, m_Size, m_Background, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);
// Copies the current background
BitBlt(m_Background, 0, 0, m_Size, m_Size, m_DialogBox.Dc(), X, Y, SRCCOPY);
// Draws the ball
Ellipse(m_DialogBox.Dc(), X, Y, X+m_Size, Y+m_Size);
m_X = X; m_Y = Y;
}
Is there some general problem with my way (probably is)?
Thank you.
P.S How do I activate some [b], [code] etc?? Couldn't find anything it and the post looks ugly =(.

You probably want to draw in WM_ERASEBKGRND, but if you want speed, you'll need instead to use DirectX.
To post code, use <pre> tags.
this is my code
