One way to do that is to write your program as a service. Services can be set to automatically restart in the event they are terminated, or they crash.

Hi,
is there any rotate text function in MFC that I can call anywhere out site the onPaint. I found all examples that in order to rotate the text I have to do it in onPaint()
thanks in advance

Anywhere
OnMouseMove might make sense for you?
Why do you need to call it outside OnPaint()...that function is there to let you draw...

well,
I need to build a function with multi functionalities like this
SetFontF(fontPoint,FontName,bold,rotate,.)....like that so I can call in any other functions in my project. Do you think is it possible to do that? Sorry I am brandnew in MFC.
Thanks a lot for your replying.

Is there a way i could define my own keywords, so that they would be the same color as the other predefined keywords?
for example.
i have keywords set to be Green, and i have black background.
the uppercase versions of char, bool, void, etc. dont show up Green
while the lowecase ones do.
so is there a way i could define my own keywords so they would show up green?

Yes. Create a file called usertype.dat in the SharedIde/bin directory in which Visual Studio is installed. Put your keywords in that file, one per line.

there is no SharedIde folder however,
could this be the right folder?
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin
just a thought, i didnt speicify i have the Enterprise Edition, i dont think that would make a difference would it?
and what about other highlighting like operators? could i set some of those, i generally define and as && , or as || etc. in small programs no one else will see the source too

|

Try C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\IDE .

that changes all of them to one color, i want to know if there is a way i could set them to be different colors
for example i defined
VOID
BOOL
and
or
as user types,
is there a way i could make "VOID" and "BOOL" be green while "and" and "or" will be a different color like red

Sorry, I replied in haste. Don't know how you'd go about doing that.

1. When I create a windows program and don't have it in focus it seems to end proccessing. This is where I place my code:
<br />
while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0)) <br />
{<br />
if (!TranslateAccelerator(msg.hwnd, hAccelTable, &msg)) <br />
{<br />
TranslateMessage(&msg);<br />
DispatchMessage(&msg);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
Is there anyway I can make sure that my program is being run all the time, even if it's not in focus?
2. My second question is about simulating the keyboard, I know about PostMessage(). However, with this function I must post
a key press to a certain window, what I want to do is to simulate a keypress to windows.

The hidden application will receive system messages but not the windows messages... Key press are windows messages and u will get it only if that window is in focus.
I am sure, i guesss for your problem you need to implement a keyboard hook.

oki, thx

To simulate keyboard messages, I guess SendInput() would be a more appropriate option.

Hello, I have a problem with IDirectSound8::SetCooperativeLevel.
The DirectX SDK tells that you have to call IDirectSound8::SetCooperativeLevel immediatly after creating a IDirectSound8 object.
the prototype of IDirectSound8::SetCooperativeLevel is:
HRESULT SetCooperativeLevel(
HWND hwnd,
DWORD dwLevel
);
My app framework doesn't have any window at the moment this function has to be called.
When I set hwnd to NULL, the function fails(E_INVALIDARG).
What should I use as hwnd here?
Thx
Don't try it, just do it!

That means you really need to create a window before you call that function... I have see few DirectX samples and every one of them created a window before it is called. So i think its a compulsary option.

Hi again, my application doesn't close anymore after the execution of:
if( FAILED( DirectSoundCreate8( NULL, &gpDSP, NULL ) ) )
return FALSE;
before returning from main procedure i call gpDSP->Release(); , but after returning from main proc the app loops somehow through kernel32, ntdll and the kernel.
what is wrong with this?
Don't try it, just do it!

I am studying for software engineer, but I am not (yet) very skilled. A relative asked me if I could help him. He has an eyeproblem and has trouble locating the mousecursor in Windows. He works with Autocad where the position of the mousecurosr is shown by a big cross. So a horizontal line covering the whole width of the monitor at the y position of the cursor and a vertical line covering the whole height of the monitor at the x position of the mousecursor. So where the 2 lines intersect there is the mousecursor.
I want to make a program that runs on top of every other program in windows and shows that cross. I searched 'The code project' and found some interresting articles. Here http://www.codeproject.com/bitmap/DeskShoot.asp abhinaba describes a way to shoot hole at your windows desktop and all the running application. The trouble with this is that 1 time a copy of the desktop is taken and the holes are painted on that copy and shown on top of everything else, so the programs that are running can be accessed until you close the shooting program.
My program should show the cross and the mouseposition on top of everything, but other programs must be able to get focus.
I already tried something with getDC. I am able to get a copy of the desktop, can draw on ii and also show it, but than the problem is that when I get the desktop for the second time the old cross pointing at the old position of the mousecursor I also visible. So eventually the screen will be filled with multiple crosses.
Is it actually possible to draw dynamically over the whole desktop with keeping the functionality to acces all the running programs? Am I looking in the right direction and can somebody help me further?
Oh by the way using a bigger mousecursor is not an option. Or maybe somebody knows a program that give this functionality?
English ins't my native language, so sorry for that

Instead of doing that i Guess you can increase the size of the Mouse cursor by selecting appropriate cursor and enable trailing mouse , which will certainly improve the visiblity of the cursor.
Hope this solves ur problem.

Yes I know this option, but it isn't sufficient. And also when you don't move the mouse there isn't a trail and the relative really asked a solution like the cross in Autocad. But thanks for your suggestion.
I have searched sites for visually impaired and option mentioned there do not help much. Many site don't come further then sugesting a bigger cursor and the trailing thing.

This is because the operation system is supporting it.. Your solution sounds very good indeed. How about hooking the mouse events and draw the cursor of the mouse? But I am not conviced that its really a good idea, the horizontal and vertical line will be over so many applications, dont know what will happen if a animation gif is over one of the line.

I am going to try the possible solution Shog9 gave. But thanks any way for your help. When it is finished I will make it public. Others people with less vision might find i usefull also
