If you have a HWND to the main second app, you can use SendMessageTimeout.

if you just want to "ping" it to see if it's alive, use a "harmless" message such as WM_GETTEXTLENGTH. Or you just...

Keith Rule's CMemDC class should be the answer for this. Although I never used it, everybody and my grandma love it:

To declare a pointer to a member function:

struct cfoo {
int bar(int x);
};

int (cfoo::*pFooBar)(int) = cfoo::bar;

// to call, you need an actual instance -
foo.*pFooBar(17);

Hi!

Tip:
You can open your control (.dll, or .ocx) in OLE Viewer (run OLE Viewer, choose "View Type Library.." from menu), where you can see all Components with their CLSID's implemented in the...

Hi!

Depends on what you're doing. Typically, VC++ displays assembly only if a) there's no source available, or it doesn#t find the source code, or b) you explicitely requested this.

Hi,

You have two ways:

a) kill & restart explorer process. To kill it, do Start / Shutdown... (so the Shut down / restart etc. dialog box opens). In the dialog box, hold ctrl-alt-shift, and...

Hi!

You can only try to locate the Message Pump of the receiving thread, and put a breakpint there.

Hi,

Yes, Icon *Resources* can be in multiple sizes & color depths, but when loaded and as a HICON, it has a definite size & depth (a MSDN suggests it's internally represented as some DDB's).

I...

Thanks!

I already thought of that - but I was looking for a better way. As much as I understand the documentation, the bitmaps are copies of the icon, I'd like to avoid that...


Peter

Hi all!

How to get the size of an Icon? I just have a HICON, and need it's dimensions.

Any help? (Rating guranteed ;-)

Peter

hi,

a) Why & How do you want to use it? That's the first question that comes not only to Sam Hobb's mind ;-)

Ahh... the dreaded header Control again...
First, the header is a child window of the list, so ON_NOTIFY_REFLECT is bad... the Clazz Wizard generates wrong code here.

Hi,
For correct window positioning (save&restore), it is higly recommended to use GetWindowPlacement / SetWindowPlacement. These functions take care of various problematic issues (like Z order, and...

Hi,

Well.. if you didn't hear of binary numbers before, perhaps this information is enough: If you add the ES_NUMBER style using '+', the result is wrong if the style was already set. Using '|',...

The '|' operator does an bitwise 'or'. In long terms c=a|b means:
- look at a and b in binary
- for each bit position: if the bit is set in a, or b, or both, set the bit in c, otherwise, clear...

Hi,
List Ctrl sends an LVN_DELETEITEM, and LVN_DELETEALLITEMS notifications when an item is deleted, so typically you would delete the myRect there.

Hi,

rand() % 6
will generate random number 0..5

Note that rand() is not useful for statistical purposes - and the modulo makes it worse (a bit). But if it just should 'look random', or it is...

I'd say even if they should move the entire thing onto .NET, the Document/Object Model, and the interface will stay the same. And I don't think MS will drop COM completely - although it will be...
