Re: How can I subclass MessageBox ? Gary R. Wheeler3-Oct-04 2:31 Gary R. Wheeler 3-Oct-04 2:31  MessageBox is an API function. Unfortunately, the dialog it displays isn't customizable through subclassing or through the mechanisms used by the common dialogs. Basic information on MessageBox can be found here[^] in the MSDN. You can, however, replicate the functionality of MessageBox pretty easily. It's a simple dialog box that displays an icon, text, and up to four buttons. Once you've replicated it, you could customize it as necessary. Software Zen: delete this; Re: How can I subclass MessageBox ? Niklas L3-Oct-04 2:45 Niklas L 3-Oct-04 2:45  If you use MFC you can use the AfxMessageBox() function instead. Then you can change the behaviour in CWinApp::DoMessageBox() to whatever. Re: How can I subclass MessageBox ? Yulianto.3-Oct-04 19:02 Yulianto. 3-Oct-04 19:02  You can`t subclass MessageBox, it`s API <italic>Work hard and a bit of luck is the key to success.

Replacing Windows SysTray Clock Axonn Echysttas2-Oct-04 23:39 Axonn Echysttas 2-Oct-04 23:39  Hi everybody, I got a short but rather difficult question: does anybody know how the Window SysTray clock can be hidden/replaced by another window? For example a custom window made by the programmer. This has been troubling me for some time... Thank you! The Greater Mind Balance Re: Replacing Windows SysTray Clock ThatsAlok3-Oct-04 19:32 ThatsAlok 3-Oct-04 19:32  Hello buddy heer is solution first using the FindWindow api find the Window that contain systray timer like this. HWND hWnd=::FindWindow("TrayClockWClass",NULL); and for hiding ::ShowWindow(hWnd,SW_HIDE) and for replacing the Timer window, craete a static value with parent class= ToolbarWindow32 and according to coordinate system of your computer place it over hidden System Tary CLock ----------------------------- "I Think It Will Help" ----------------------------- Alok Gupta visit me at http://www.thisisalok.tk Re: Replacing Windows SysTray Clock Axonn Echysttas4-Oct-04 0:37 Axonn Echysttas 4-Oct-04 0:37  Hey, thanks for answering Alok. I didn't mention that my current project is in Visual Basic 6. It's more than a year old and back then I wasn't so much into C++ or C# ::- )... anyway, I handle VB6 pretty well and I can use API to call the FindWindow function and the ShowWindow function as well. I got a bit confused by the last thing you told me: You mean create a window that inherits the ToolbarWindow32 class? That I don't know if I can do in VB6... And another thing... as we all know, the SysTray clock has a fixed size, but what if I want my window to be a bit larger then that? Let's say I want it of a fixed size of 300 pixels. Thanks again for helping. Anybody who helps will be in the "thanks to..." list of my program (which is going to be freeware) when I finish it. It's a clock with alarms, internet synchronization, calendar, to do list and lots of other stuff in it. It's gonna have at least 10 great functionalities, but I`m still only 30% done with it... this systray thing is pretty important because not all people have their taskbar on autohide like me ::- ) Have a nice day everybody. The Greater Mind Balance Re: Replacing Windows SysTray Clock ThatsAlok4-Oct-04 4:04 ThatsAlok 4-Oct-04 4:04  do one thing first Hide the timer,then using NOTIFYICONDATA create you own icon based on time. NOTIFYICONDATA strcuture is used in making system tray application. i think you have to play this trick ----------------------------- "I Think It Will Help" ----------------------------- Alok Gupta visit me at http://www.thisisalok.tk Re: Replacing Windows SysTray Clock Axonn Echysttas4-Oct-04 23:34 Axonn Echysttas 4-Oct-04 23:34  Yes, but this means adding a separate icon for each digit of the clock, so you can see it. That means at least 4 icons, I think its kind of hard to handle, specially if you think that sometimes some other icons might interfere. For example the sound volume icon could get in the middle of those. Using NOTIFYICONDATA I cannot create a window of ... say... 300 pixels and place it instead of the clock. I think your first idea is what could help. You said that... "and for replacing the Timer window, craete a static value with parent class= ToolbarWindow32 and according to coordinate system of your computer place it over hidden System Tary CLock" This also restricts me to using the size of the hidden window of the clock, but it does allow me to place there ANY window right? Even a window containing a drawing not limited by the 16x16 pixels of an icon. What I am really looking for is a way to add there, instead of the clock, some other window of mine except at a biger size, or smaller... customizable! I saw such a thing running on a Windows 2000 system so I`m sure it is somehow possible, but I really don't understand how it can be done. The window on that Windows 2000 was replacing the clock and it had more than 200 pixels in lenght. This is a challenging problem to solve... hmmm...

Dominik Reichl2-Oct-04 23:34 Dominik Reichl 2-Oct-04 23:34  Hello! I have a dialog-based application. The main dialogs shows another dialog before showing itself (think of a login dialog before the main dialog). Now my problem is that the login dialog isn't shown in the taskbar, only the main window shows up when you have logged in. Now the question: how do I show up the first dialog in the taskbar?? Dominik _outp(0x64, 0xAD); and __asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, al do the same... but what do they do?? (doesn't work on NT) Re: Show dialog in taskbar? Gary R. Wheeler3-Oct-04 2:36 Gary R.

I'll like to know how do i call the destructor in the main. it has been defined as such in the clist class cList::~cList() { node *tmp = head, *pred; while(tmp != NULL) { pred = tmp; tmp = tmp -> getNext(); delete pred; } delete head; } Re: calling list destructor Dominik Reichl2-Oct-04 23:38 Dominik Reichl 2-Oct-04 23:38  The destructor gets called automatically if the cList object isn't needed/referenced any more. If you wish to explicitely call the destructor yourself, you could do something like this: cList* pList = new cList(); // Do something with pList delete pList; // This calls the destructor _outp(0x64, 0xAD); and __asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, al do the same... but what do they do??

Hmm.. Too much Java there? If the object is created on the stack, its descructor is called when the object goes out of scope. If the object is created in the heap (with new keyword) its destructor is only called if you delete the object explicitly with delete operator.
