Everything is possible.
But, doing what you describe requires that you create a custom toolbar control that animates the buttons. Windows standard toolbar does not provide the functionality you require.
Easiest way to start is to search here on CP for animatable buttons. Then laden these buttons in a row over a Rebar control, and attach it to the top of the window. It works just like a toolbar, but is made and upkept by you.

how to disable the task manager while my program runnig
|
|
|
|
|
There is no such way.
The Task Manager is a crucial Windows component that allows the user to shut down programs or processes that have stopped working or are behaving incorrectly. Disabling it would mean that the user loses the majority of control that he/she has over what programs are running on the system.
As such, disabling it is not an option. Whatever you are trying to implement, you should consider implementing it differently.

I handle a check menu item like this:
// the update command
void CAppDlg::OnUpdateMenuItem(CCmdUI *pCmdUI)
{
pCmdUI->SetCheck(BoolVar);
........
}
and
// the command
void CAppDlg::OnInterfaceMenuItem()
{
BoolVar = BoolVar == 0 ? 1 : 0;
}
The solution works with one exception: when the item is not checked the sign before the caption does not dissapear (but it works just fine). How do i get that "check" sign to dissapear ? If the check state is false, should not dissapear by default ?

Hi all,
I have an application (win .exe app) and I wish it could be running background. But it needs keyboard and mouse input which is fixed and could be prepared in advance. So I saved mouse/keyboard in a file, and I am trying to code a small program which could send mouse/keyboard to my background app.
I read several example in codeproject about hook mouse/keyboard message and tried to insert mouse/kb events using WH_JOURNALPLAYBACK hook. Unfortunately, the hWnd parameter is ignored so my mouse/kb messages are always sent to active window, not background app.
Now I am lost. Could anyone please give me a direction?
Thanks in advance,
Joe

Im having a smiliar question and was about to post it, but mine is almost the opposite.
I have a background app that has a recorded sequence of key presses and I want to send them to my foreground app.
I think possibly the answer to your question may be answer to my question.
Now, I have tried things like hooking the KB, and tried code segments like this one:
void SetRIGHT( BOOL bState )
{
BYTE keyState[256];
GetKeyboardState((LPBYTE)&keyState);
if( (bState && !(keyState[VK_RIGHT] & 1)) ||
(!bState && (keyState[VK_RIGHT] & 1)) )
{
// Simulate a key press
keybd_event( VK_RIGHT,
0x45,
KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY | 0,
0 );
// Simulate a key release
keybd_event( VK_RIGHT,
0x45,
KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY | KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,
0 );
}
}
Then moving foreground to my app I want to recieve the input, alas, it dosent do what I want it to. It does however result in strange things happening like the right and left arrow keys get stuck so I have to hit them twice, im sure its a conflict in what im doing.
Anyhow, Thanks in advance,
Charles

I have successfully send kb/mouse message to a foreground applications. I would like to suggest you have a look at the following example at codeproject, it's quite good.
http://www.codeproject.com/tools/winmacro.asp by:S. Senthil Kumar
The example includes recording kb/mouse input and playback. I modified it and only use the playback part. That is only the WH_JOURNALPLAYBACK hook.
You might need to prepare lpara for the playback hook. I generated a file by using WH_JOURNALRECORD hook to keep my kb/mouse event.
Regards,
Joe

Thanks for the advice, i will look at that shortly.
I did find one in VB, but I cant use that, it dosent look like you can either, but maybe you can get an idea I didnt.

Following my first dumb question, I #include number[2].
Sorry about that! Being a newb is a bitch!!!
How do you NULL arrays?
Is it ok to:
int numbers[10] = { 1, 23, 50, 2, NULL};
Or do I have to:
int numbers[10] = {NULL}; and then assign values using a second statment!
Apriciate the help!

There is another thread that started just this morning, asking a very similar question about how to initialize arrays with zero values.
See "Arrays!" by CreepingFeature which was posted at 8:58 this morning. There are many replies that will answer your questions on array initialization.

Ya don't say. Well I'm confused then. NULL stands for the number zero. If you really want to use NULL you have to write a for loop, I'm sorry to say. But that is rather pointless if it is zero anyway. Just follow the advice on the other thread.

As arrays of data are placed sequentically in memory (at least on unmanaged/non .Net programs), then you can use ZeroMemory to set the entire array area to zero. Alternatively, you can use ZeroMemory in conjuction with array indexes to clear certain sections. A few examples:
int nArray[20];<DIV>
ZeroMemory( &nArray[0], sizeof(int) * 3 );<DIV>
ZeroMemory( &nArray[10], sizeof(int) * 5);<DIV>
ZeroMemory( &nArray[19], sizeof(int) ); Hope these will help you.

1) How do you set the icon of a dialog made in the resource editor?
2) Does anyone know of any other examples like this http://www.codeproject.com/samples/fortune.asp (with source) that dont use mfc?

Send the dialog a WM_SETICON message.

I have written a dialog based program using visual c++ and am now trying to deploy the project. The project deploys fine on all Windows systems with the .Net structure built into it. Any system that does not have the .Net structure built into it will cause the Setup.msi to say "Must install .NET blah blah blah first" and then it will close my installation package.
When I build the installation package within VC++, it says
"WARNING: This setup does not contain the .NET Framework which must be installed on the target machine by running dotnetfx.exe before this setup will install. You can find dotnetfx.exe on the Visual Studio .NET 'Windows Components Update' media. Dotnetfx.exe can be redistributed with your setup."
What, when, and where do I need to run that dotnetfx.exe? Do I include it with my installer? How do I do that?
Thank you,
Red Sunday

I dont see anything in the docs (looked at cfile). I need to concatenate two text files. After that I want to get rid of everything but the concatenated file. If mfc cant do it, is the best way to do it with
system(copy test1.doc+test2.doc b:test3) ?
I know about unlink()to delete. I was wondering if MFC can do it ....
Thanks,
sb

Any API capable of read/write operations can do that including Cfile.
Open file A for read
Open file C for write
Read all data from A and write to C
Close file A
Open file B
Read all data from B and write to C
Close file B
Close file C
Delete File A
Delete File B

Something like:
CFile file1("file1.txt", CFile::modeRead),
file2("file2.txt", CFile::modeRead),
fileTemp("file12.txt", CFile::modeWrite | CFile::modeCreate);
DWORD dwBytesRead;
BYTE buffer[4096]
do
{
dwBytesRead = file1.Read(buffer, sizeof(buffer));
fileTemp.Write(buffer, dwBytesRead);
} while (dwBytesRead > 0);
file1.Close();
do
{
dwBytesRead = file2.Read(buffer, sizeof(buffer));
fileTemp.Write(buffer, dwBytesRead);
} while (dwBytesRead > 0);
file2.Close();
fileTemp.Close();
CFile::Remove("file1.txt");
CFile::Remove("file2.txt");

Hi guys
Somebody can explain me what's the procedure to change the app icon for one in 256 colors and that the mini icon in the caption of the main dialog app looks good. The compiler always convert my nice 256 color icon in an ugly icon
Best Regards
Doc
