You must be override OnHelpInfo(ON_WM_HELPINFO).

Thanks for your answer, but I did it and nothing happened.
Apparently, this is not a correct answer.

Why it doesnt work for you while it works ?
ON_COMMAND(ID_HELP, &CWinApp::OnHelp)
void CWinApp::OnHelp()
{
MessageBox(GetFocus(),_T("1"),_T("1"),MB_OK);
}

Thanks, but it really doesn't work.
I have overwritten OnHelpInfo but when "Windows + F1" is pressed, Windows-Help
dialog will be shown.("Windows + F1" is registered as a HOTKEY by Windows)
When I press "Windows+F1", the nothing happen(according to the following code):
/************************************************************************/
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CECDlg, CDialog)
ON_WM_HELPINFO()
ON_COMMAND(ID_HELP, OnHelp)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
BOOL CECDlg::OnHelpInfo(HELPINFO* pHelpInfo)
{
// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
// Overwrite this method to disable Help Info in my application.
//return CDialog::OnHelpInfo(pHelpInfo);
Beep(1000, 1000);
return FALSE;
}
void CECDlg::OnHelp()
{
Beep(1000, 1000);
}

Oh I saw only F1 not Win+F1 at that question.

No surprise there (since it's a special key). You might create a global message hook to see what messages are generated when the Windows key is pressed.

I develop a software with VC++ 6.0.Now I wanna display several windows in the main view. And every window completes one specific task.For example, you can input some parameters in one window and get results data in another window.
If anyone has good solution you can message me or post your solution to my E-MAIL:toschl@yeah.net
Thank for your heip sincerely
Thank you

I think a single document, multiple view approach might be better. If one view is changed a single call to UpdateAllViews will cause them all to be updated.

Does this concept of an interactive system service still exist on Vista?
From what I am reading, the interactive service seems no longer viable here.
If one wants to write a system service which interacts with the user...
Is the only way just to write 2 apps (service+ui-app) that can talk to each other?

"Important Services cannot directly interact with
a user as of Windows Vista. Therefore, the techniques
mentioned in the section titled Using an Interactive
Service should not be used in new code." (Source[^])
I read that as it's a bad idea

If the service doesn't need to be available when no user is
logged on, you could also have a single process that runs
when a user logs on.

All this documentation reads like stereo instructions.
It seems that there are many what-if's -- that the chances of an interactive service working in most cases, is slim.
Would you think that it's prudent to avoid an interactive service?
And, that the prudent choice is to write 2 apps -- service (running all of the time) and a user app which runs in the user session.
And, then create some inter-app communication to handle notifications?

IMO yes. It's been hinted since Windows 2000 (if I
remember right) that interactive service support could
go away.

That works well for me. Any IPC[^] method will do...
I like named pipes for performance, but for ease of coding,
nothing beats .NET remoting (if managed code is an option,
of course).

Thank you very much, I appreciate your candid opinion on the matter.
I am one of those work at homers -- I don't really have any colleagues who work on the same kinds of stuff I do.
I appreciate CP and people like you, who know their stuff.

Hi,
I've implemented a named pipes server according to microsoft's KB: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365588(VS.85).aspx[^]
so far so good ..
the next step was to add timeouts handling. i.e in case the server failed, the connected clients should NOT be blocked and should exit with timouts.
according to the documentations, this should be done using the following procedure:
1. create a file:
m_hPipe = CreateFileA(
m_sPipeName, // pipe name
GENERIC_READ | // read and write access
GENERIC_WRITE,
0, // no sharing
NULL, // default security attributes
OPEN_EXISTING, // opens existing pipe
0, // default attributes
NULL); // no template file
.
2. set timeouts and Setup com:
GetCommTimeouts(m_hPipe,&m_comm_timeout);
m_comm_timeout.ReadIntervalTimeout = MAXDWORD;
m_comm_timeout.ReadTotalTimeoutMultiplier = MAXDWORD;
m_comm_timeout.ReadTotalTimeoutConstant = 1;
SetupComm(m_hPipe, BUFSIZE+3,BUFSIZE+3);
DCB cDCB;
GetCommState(m_hPipe, &cDCB);
SetCommState(m_hPipe, &cDCB);
SetCommTimeouts(m_hPipe, &m_comm_timeout);
3. execute the read file command ...
fSuccess = ReadFile( m_hPipe, // pipe handle
chBuf, // buffer to receive reply
BUFSIZE, // size of buffer
&cbRead,// number of bytes read
NULL); // not overlapped
the above procedure should cause the ReadFile to exit after 100 miliseconds, however, it doesnt seems to work
Any suggestions will be wellcomed ...

I haven't used pipes for a while, but I'm quite certain that the ...Comm... functions only operates on communication devices such as serial COM or parallel ports.
The DCB struct in particular has members that sets baudrate, parity and such, which doesn't make sense on pipes.
If you check the return values of those functions I'm pretty sure they will all return FALSE.
Open the pipe in overlapped mode instead. That will give you the possibility to do other things than just waiting on a blocking read request.

Hi Masters!
--------------
Could you please tell me what's a Message Only Window and how can I
create one using Pure Win32 APIs?
Thank you in advance ... 
Thank you masters!
|
|

A Message Only Window is typically a window that you create that is kept invisible and does not receive any user input. Its sole purpose is to receive window messages.
You can use the CreateWindow(...) function to create just about any window that you would ever need.
BTW - I think that there is a special style available in later versions of the Win32 SDK for message-only windows, but I cannot find it now.
Peace!
-=- James Please rate this message - let me know if I helped or not!<hr></hr>If you think it costs a lot to do it right, just wait until you find out how much it costs to do it wrong!

I need some help interpreting the Spy++ listing of window items...
In the listing of windows, handle values (in HEX), short description, ... all listing in a tree view, is the ordering within a group meaningful?
Let me clarify my question:
I am debugging a huge GUI application and the past developer created most of the buttons on the GUI dynamically (on the fly) using bitmap images and the CButton::CREATE() method(s).
I am using Spy++ to identify some buttons.
If I am looking at the listing of window handles in Spy++, does the order listed reflect the order in which the buttons were created?
I am trying to find a run-away button that is in a place it shouldn't be on the GUI and not controlled (hidden/enabled) when it should be.
Thanks!

I am working on a program that takes an input of 2 numbers from the user, checks the primality, generates a public and private keys, validates those keys by encrypting text entered by the user and decrypting text entered by the user. Can anyone help me with some code for this project?
Thanks!
