I want to copy the opened registry file

AFAIK, this is not possible. The registry is constantly accessed by the operating system, so the .dat file of the user cannot be copied, since it is open in non shared mode. What you can do is use the classes proposed by the two others who answered your thread and copy the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key recursively.

Centering AfxMessageBox

Hi ,

I have a (Dialogbox with a button) which I open from the Menu which is
vertical shaped and docked at the left side.

I click this button on the dialogbox and AfxMessagebox is flashed which

is at the center of the dialogbox . In that way its flashing at the
left side. I call a App's DisplayMessage function in order to show this

messagebox. I though if I display this dialog from App , it may come at

the center but that is not the case.

I want this AfxMessageBox to be flashed at the center of the frame.

I read few postings here. I used following code using SetWindowsHookEx.

Sombody before said to subclass the window of AfxMessageBox in the hook

procedure . I am not sure how to do it and after that how to reposition

the window at the center of the main framme/App. So I straightaway used

SetWindowPos but not working satisfactorily.

HHOOK hookSave;

LRESULT CALLBACK hookFunc(int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{

if ( HCBT_CREATEWND == nCode )
{

#define pcs (((LPCBT_CREATEWND) lParam)->lpcs)
HWND hwndSave = 0;

if( WC_DIALOG == pcs->lpszClass )
{
hwndSave = (HWND) wParam;

}

if ( hwndSave )
{
// subclass_dialog_any_which_way_you_want(hwndSave);
SetWindowPos(hwndSave,HWND_TOP, 10,50,500,300,SWP_SHOWWINDOW);
//MoveWindow(hwndSave,100,500,500,300,false);
//theApp.m_pMainWnd->SubclassWindow(hwndSave);
}

#undef pcs
}

return CallNextHookEx(hookSave, nCode, wParam, lParam);

}

void CLeeApp::DisplayMessage()
{
hookSave = SetWindowsHookEx(WH_CBT, hookFunc, NULL,
::GetCurrentThreadId());
AfxMessageBox("Just for check");
UnhookWindowsHookEx(hookSave);

}

I guess this related to making AfxMessageBox as a SubClassWindow to
MainFrame which should be subclassed in the hook function (Which I dont
know how to do in the hookfunction, means hot to get the main frame
handle) and then how to get the windproc of mainframe for afxmessagebox
and then hot to get all these things to work for Afxmessagebox to
center the mainframe

Could someone help me with some guiding code postings.

""I want this to be with AfxMessageBox only. ""

It will help me a lot. Atleast gurus like CHris or Nish should help me

Thank you,

Lee

Why has it to be an AfxMessageBox ? Is it in _your_ application that you want to display the message box ? Do you want to display or to flash it ?

I would rather use another small dialog, or one fo the "custom" message box you can find here on CP instead of the AfxMessageBox.

Just cam across that:

Ryan already helped you[^]

Tell us what you really need to do, and we will help you. Subclassing AfxMessageBox using hooks is to me something evil, so better not try.

~RaGE,

Yeo, Ryan helped me out and I followed his advice by using MessageBox.

But I want to know how to achieve the same result by using AfxMessageBox on which we dont have any control. How to make it at the center of the main window instead of its own owner. This we can achieve only through subclassing.

Could some one give me specific code on it.

thanks

Can anyone point me to a template or reference on how to make a dialogbox as your main window?

Also, what would be issues and solutions regarding the fact that a dialog box does not have a message loop?

Are you using MFC ? If yes, you can simply start a project as a dialog based application.

You can Create the dialog based applicationa dn then you ca add the child dialogs on it. So you wil get a feel as you dialog is the main window.
