So it appears as if it's remembering the previous size in the registry or somewhere. Since it's your app, you should know where (or at least be able to find out). So go there and clear those settings.

Hey Alvaro,

Can you please elaborate on the settings you are talking about that I need to clear???

The problem comes, once I minimize the window and then I click it to restore, the icon turns into a pressed/highlighted icon but window doesn't come up then I have to right click and select maximize from the menu then only I can view it.
This problem is there in XP and works fine on all other windows versions.

My feeling is that it forgets it's previous size. I am not able to figure out whether this my programming bug or Windows problem.
Both the ways I do not have any clue as what to do

It's our customers requirements and have to fix it urgently. I am stuck I would appreciate if someone can help me on this or point me to some mailing list/discussion forum etc.

Thanks
Prateeti

The SELECT statement looks fine to me. What exactly is the problem?

Check the datatypes you are using for the returned value.

How to get the system font

Why use ODBC? Ado simplifies life so much.

You'll need to supply more details of the actual error message as the SQL string looks fine.

Have you thought about using a stored procedure and ADO command object instead.

Hi,
I have developed an application where I want to display something in tree control using system font. I dont know how to get the system font and then how to display it in tree control..anyone has some idea..please do let me know.
Thanks in advance

Mmmh ...
I don't really understand what you mean by 'system font', but if you mean the current font in your control, there's several possibilities :

CWnd::GetFont will give you a handle to the font in the win. You can then use a CFont object, and assign it the font with CFont::FromHandle.

To get the font used in your tree control, add a member variable

CFont m_Font;

.
Then if you have a CTreeCtrl, put it that way in your OnInitDialog() or whatever:

m_MyTreeCtrl.SetFont(m_Font);

Or, if you do only with the IDs,

CTreeCtrl* pTree = GetDlgItem ( IDC_TREE_LABEL );
pStatic->SetFont( &m_Font );

~RaGE();

Thanks for the reply. By 'System font' I mean to say is window's default font.
For example in browser when we type some url it displays that url in window's default font which we can change by right clicking on desktop settings.
Anyways thanks for the help.

I'm not sure to understand, however you may have a look to
GetStockObject[^], using as parameter DEFAULT_GUI_FONT.

I reckon the easiest way is to start the ATL wizard, create a service, and move your code into it.

I dunno how hard it is to replumb an app as a service. I thought a service ideally had no GUI though.
