Re: Enumerating processes under Win9x Stephane Rodriguez.3-Nov-02 7:16 Stephane Rodriguez. 3-Nov-02 7:16  I have this exported function in NTDLL.DLL. And am running W2K SP2. Back to real work : D-27. Re: Enumerating processes under Win9x Stephane Rodriguez.3-Nov-02 7:21 Stephane Rodriguez. 3-Nov-02 7:21  I forgot to tell you, PSAPI.dll is not for W9X systems. It's too bad you got the sample from MSDN and you didn't get the sample in full length. On W9X, you use CreateToolhelp32Snapshot and an enumerator. Searching MSDN with PSAPI as keyword brought me the full length sample in rank 1 ! And you have to switch case all possible OSes. Back to real work : D-27. OnPaint question Mel Feik2-Nov-02 21:38 Mel Feik 2-Nov-02 21:38  I have a rather large dialog application that really needs a line drawn to divide it into two sections. Its a serial communcations dialog and the top part handles sending out data (32 user filled edits) while the bottom section is responsible for displaying incoming messages ( 14 read-only edits). I have no problem with the Tx/Rx aspects but I would really like to draw a line between the two. I have no experience whatsoever in this area and am looking for an answer that is detailed enough that I can insert it into my code. I created the dialog using the VS 6 project wizard if that matters. From the small amount of reading I've done (looking in CPaintDC and related items in the MSDN library) I didn't get to far. I am sure I can figure this out if I take the time to go through it in detail but I would really appreciate it if someone would just give me a either a walk through or the code I need. If more info is required just ask... I will provide whatever is needed --------------------------------------------- The greenest grass is NOT on the other side of the fence, its the grass you take care of.

Re: OnPaint question Stephane Rodriguez.2-Nov-02 22:04 Stephane Rodriguez. 2-Nov-02 22:04  Forget CPaintDC, add a groupbox and make it as thin as 1 pixel height. If you can't, because you use grid locking and stuff, just go the hardcore way : open the .rc file and set the 1 there. Back to real work : D-27. Re: OnPaint question Mel Feik2-Nov-02 22:12 Mel Feik 2-Nov-02 22:12  As far as I know, I haven't set any grid locking. But I haven't ever delved into this aspect and if you could some code I could either paste or use as a guideline I would truly appreciate it --------------------------------------------- <i>The greenest grass is NOT on the other side of the fence, its the grass you take care of.

Wheeler3-Nov-02 4:20 Gary R. Wheeler 3-Nov-02 4:20  To get a solid black line, use a statement like the following in your .RC file: CONTROL "",IDC_STATIC,"Static",SS_BLACKRECT,262,295,142,1 In IDE terms, this is a 'picture' control, with the type set to 'Rectangle' and the color set to black. In actuality, it is a static control with the style SS_BLACKRECT, which draws a black rectangle. Software Zen: delete this; Re: OnPaint question Ed Gadziemski3-Nov-02 4:21 Ed Gadziemski 3-Nov-02 4:21  Use a picture control and set its type to Rectangle, then adjust it to the size you need. Default color is black but it also supports white and gray. If you need the thickness smaller than 5 dialog units, temporarily set your layout grid height to a smaller value.

Could you give me a bit of idea how to support cd burning in my application? Do you know any good quality cd burning library? Thanks! Re: I want my program able to burn a CD/DVD, how? Daniel Turini2-Nov-02 21:36 Daniel Turini 2-Nov-02 21:36  If your program will only run in Windows XP, you can use the IMAPI API. If you need other platforms, you'll need some 3rd party products and APIs. lazy isn't my middle name.. its my first.. people just keep calling me Mel cause that's what they put on my drivers license. - Mel Feik Re: I want my program able to burn a CD/DVD, how?

Override CWinApp:OnFileNew() Locked Ghost wrote: 2) void CIceBuilderView::OnDraw(CDC* /*pDC*/) Why is the pDC commented out by default? You are probably talking about a header file. In headers, definitions do not need param names. Param type is enough for the compiler. Remember a header file is NEVER mandatory, just a nice way to program. Locked Ghost wrote: 3) How can I make the client window use scrollbars? Currently child windows can get missing out of the client window area... A typical app uses a CScrollView document/view model, hence scrollbars are automatically managed. I recommend you read "Windows programming with MFC", MSPRESS, Charles Petzold.

I have a few more questions: How can I create a window that stays on top of the other child windows like a floating toolbar? How can I then tell that window to update itself? (I want it to update when the current view is changed. I think I can figure out how to see if it's changed) How can I load the contents of a BMP file from memory, into a... CPicture, was it? and then how can I draw a (square) part of that to the view with a transparent colour? And without a transparent colour(Parts of the BMP are opague, but not all)?

I think I can figure out how to see if it's changed) Windows (whether CView or not) update themselves already. If you want to force an update, you've got to call CDocument::UpdateAllViews(...).

And without a transparent colour(Parts of the BMP are opague, but not all)? CMemDC is probably the keyword you should use to find something relevant on CodeProject about that. Handling transparent colors can be achieved in many ways. One I usually take is by creating a CImageList since this class allows to set a key color to a bitmap. Back to real work : D-27.

A window should come on top only if explicitely asked by the user. Otherwise, it's like a annoying popup on the web : it may interrupt you while you were entering text somewhere, or clicking somewhere. That's basic UI guidelines.
