Is it "must pay"?
Where it can be obtained and how it can be used in my application?
Thanks.

Nope, you can redistribute free of charge.
heres a snippet of GDI+
Pen blackPen(Color(255, 0, 0, 0), 5);
graphics.DrawRectangle(&blackPen, 10, 10, 100, 50);
See Christian Graus's article on GDI+, they should tell you everything need to know to get started.

Why not create all pens you will use in advance and save them in an array ? Then all you have to do is select the one you want to draw with and use it. This will be much faster than continual create/select/draw/deletes.
The absolute fastest way to go is to use PolyLine but that is limited to connected lines of one color. If each function's line was limited to one color this would work very well. I once wrote a spirograph program with hundreds of lines and PolyLine was so fast I could not even see them drawn.

Thousands of pens would be hard to track individual colors of ( unless you did them in a 3 dimensional array or used the RGB marco to generate indices ), and would also be an unreasonable hit on GDI resources IMHO.

Thousands would be but I seriously doubt he deals with thousands of pens.

I have to draw number (thousands) of lines and every line must be drawn in different color
I don't get it, but that's what he said.

No doubt!
Color is (or may be) function of x. It is only for effect.

Pls post the code that you think is inefficient..
Some tips'
1. Dont use CPen, use a HPEN directly using CreatePen
2. Cache all the HPENs you need in an internal data structure.
3. If you Must use a CPen object, create it as a member variable and then
Attach and Detach a HPEN from the cache.
4. Dont worry there is very minimum overhead for CreatePen. I have seen folks work with many thousands of pens, brushes, with very little visual performance impact.
Finally as Christian pointed out, use a Bitmap if you want to take matters into your own hands...
Again, lets see some code that you thnk is slow..

I think there is no need to post the code. I will use the "create delete" approach with direct API calls. At last you convinced me. Thanks for the ideas and effort.

When working through the DAOEnroll tutorial I came across something odd: The text says I should add a combo box and add a member variable to it using ClassWizard. I'm supposed to accept the default value (which should be m_pSet->m_CourseID but is only m_) but this is not correct and I'm not allowed to enter the correct value either. After some experimenting i found that everything works fine if I change the type of the combo box from the suggested "drop list" to something else (i.e "Simple" or "Dropdown"). Is there a bug or is it just me?
ps. The default value ClassWizard generates is based on the tab order of the controls, I'm not doing anything wrong there I'm sure.
Is DAO alive and kicking btw.? ADO seems to be the way to go but our app will only need very simple database support so I reckon DAO (with MFC support) will do the job.

Now, I can display different language string using TextOutW() function, such as Portuguese and Traditional Chinese. However, when I print them, such characters there are just blank???
I don't know why? Help me, please!
Thank you for your kindness first.
Any comment is welcome!

You also need to select a font into the DC that supports the character sets used by the foreign languages.

I am writing a c++ .exe MFC program, using a library written in C code.
from the C code, I want a message box to pop up when an error has been detected. I tried using MessageBox function but it says too few actual parameters. The function prototype the MessageBox function is:
int MessageBox(
HWND hWnd, // handle to owner window
LPCTSTR lpText, // text in message box
LPCTSTR lpCaption, // message box title
UINT uType // message box style
);
does the problem lies with the hWnd handle? how can i get the handle to the window from the library in C code?
Pls help.

You could pass NULL to the hWnd parameter or use ::GetActiveWindow to attach the box to the current active window

Let's say I have a dialog-based program. The main dialog is CMainDlg.
CMainDlg has as members of the class 2 sub-dialogs: CSubDlg1 and CSubDlg2 (or pointers to them).
I would like easy access from within the sub-dialogs to some other members
of the CMainDlg. How do I most easily accomplish this?
It seems that it would be easiest to have a pointer to the CMainDlg as a member
of each sub-dialog class -- but the necessary #include statements seem to
cause a conflict (understandably).
Alternately, it would be nice for each sub-dialog to have easy access to the other
sub-dialog members. So, again, it would be nice for each sub-dialog to have a pointer
to the other sub-dialog as a member of its class. But again the necessary #include
statements fog it up.
Suggestions?
Why?, you ask? One example of why is in using a TabControl. I would like some changes
in information on one page reflected on other pages, so the pages need an easy way
to communicate with each other or with the parent dialog so that it can serve as
a liaison (so to say).
Thanks. David.

No need to ask why - it's an obvious need
The answer is to create the pointer when you need it, OR to put the #include for the pointer in your .cpp file and in the .h file declare a dummy class. At least that has worked for me, but in this specific case I would just grab it as I need it
CMainDlg * pMain = (CMainDlg*) GetParent(); ( or AfxGetMainWnd())
and away we go. The pointer is fresh out of the box, and the #include is in the cpp file. The only thing is to pass this as the parent when creating the dialog.

I have used the GetParent() to snag a pointer just like you described. Thanks.
The dummy class... is it as simple as this?
class CMainDlg : public CDialog{}
Or is there more to it than that? (I haven't had a chance to try it out yet).
I like that idea, thanks. That makes it easy to include a pointer to other child dialogs as a member of a
child dialog class -- which is one of my goals, to simplify my life a bit.
BTW, the '#include "std_disclaimer.h' is very funny.
Thanks for the answers. David.

Is there any way to fill in forms and press buttons on someone else web site using C++ code. For example if I create an application that stores a user name and password. I then open a url that requires my user name and password and it also requires you to push a submit button. Is it possible to have the dialog app auto fill the information and hit the submit button? Does anyone know where I can start looking or possibly have any source code examples?
Thanks,
RobJones

Hi All,
I have a problem with disconnected recordsets.I ahve a component.One if it's function will get all the Records in a Database.I am passing the Recordset pointer from the server to the Client.I am using disconnected recordsets for this.
I can see that at the server side I am getting the Recordset
pointer.But, I could not get this pointer on the client side.
the function has the protoype
STDMETHODIMP GetAllElements([out]IUnknown **ppRecordset);
I could get the Recordset pointer at the server side, but could not pass it to client.I am using Client side cursor(adUseClient) and standard Marshaling.
what could be the problem .
Thanx in advance for the help.
