I think you have to write a program using the MSI API and open the MSI files yourself and do all the 'property extraction'.

I use orca.exe to get to the heart and soul of the MSI file.

Look for the orca.msi hidden in the ~~windows 2000 resource kit~~ directories. Install it and then you can right click on an MSI to view it's database for reading/writing etc...

Not working?? Did you pass the handle? or did you use this-> pointer? what's error message?

I had used
if(m_bMinimize)
CMyDlg::ShowWindow(SW_MINIMIZE);
;
;
;
;
;
CMyDlg::ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);

This code is written in a button click of my Dialog.
The Dialog is minimised but it does not maximise again.
This is working fine in VC++ but does not working in WinCE

Hey I'm sorry!! CE doesn't support SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED But I think you can stil do it with ::MoveWindow instead. Move it to the size of the screen coordinates Cool | :cool:

And always have this in your hand...

As far as sending data is concerned you can try this method.

Supposing you have two classes A and B with the dialogs.Then you want to pass values from A to B.
So declare a pointer of class A in B
A *a;
Now in class A : -(where you are calling the second/child dialog)
B *b=new B();
b->a=this;
b->DoModal();

Now in class B you can access values of A using this "a" pointer.

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

So what you are saying is that the value displayed is wrong then? If so, you may need to check the code that calculates the time.

Main Class is CMain and one child dialog CLocal now you declare this code in child dialogCMain* m_Main = (CMain* )GetParent(); and ues m_Main->(variable)(function)... in main dialog maybe it is some helpful to you
