Thanks all for your response. I appreciate the time.
Went pretty much as I expected. 
Why is common sense not common?

I think he has a point. I wouldn't go as far as him, and every rule has its exceptions (like the dialog as a main window case), but not using menus bars on dialogs is a good guideline. What makes applications easy to use is uniformity so unless you've got a compelling reason to deviate from the standards (both explicit and implicit) I'd suggest you don't.

If you're trying to make it so you can take it with you, I don't think it'll work because it puts crap in your system32 folder as well.

Said stuff being debug versions of MFC dlls et al.
I have 'installed' VC6 and Feb04 PSDK on a CD, along with a regfile that I pull in to allow me to use it on my laptop, which had VS2005 already installed on it.
It's not perfect, but it's doable.

I'm write project under VC++ in .Net framework. I need to write shared.cpp/shared.h to including all global constants which used by other .cpp/.h files in the same project.
i.e.
Once x is defined in this shared file and don't need to be defined in any other .ccp/.h files and can be directly used.
String* x = new String(" NAME ");

#include < gl\glu.h >
Are we telling the compiler to look in the folder gl in the standard library to find glu.h?
Why is is indicated using a backslash?
#include < netinet/in.h >
Why are we using forward slash in this case?
Thanks,
Jay

don't use backslashed... use forward slashes to avoid characters escapment problems...
the fact is that one syntax is mostly for windows world, while the other is mostly for unix world. but as forward slashes work fine on every plateforms, i think it's the best way to go.

what's character escapment

Character combinations consisting of a backslash (\) followed by a letter or by a combination of digits are called “escape sequences.” Examples include, but are not limited to:
\b backspace
\f formfeed
\n newline
\r carriage return
\t tab
\\ backslash

don't you know that the '\' character in C/C++ is the escapment character ?
\a : alarm
\b : backspace
\n : newline
\t : tab
\r : carriage return
etc...

Hi,
I need to terminate another instance of my application gracefully, like an "End Task"
* When the main window is active, It should work as if I clicked the "Close" Icon, with all "do you want to save.." and stuff.
* When a modal message box is open, the application should not exit, but come to foreground (this works well).
* As bonus, the "End Task" dialog if (and only if) the app is hung for a given time
I do have the main window handle of the other app.
Sending WM_CLOSE kills the app completely, posting WM_QUIT doesn't have any effect.
I could even send a custom message to a background-thread-window in the app to be closed (but would like to avoid that)

Have you tried sending (or posting) a WM_SYSCOMMAND message with the SC_CLOSE parameter?
Just a guess, may not work

Try sending a WM_COMMAND to your main window with the ID of your 'Exit' menu item (or whatever you use to exit normally).

I have two bitmaps (loaded from resources).
I want to combine thse two bitmaps side-by-side into a 3rd bitmap.
I want to put the 3rd (combined) bitmap into an image list.
The snippet below shows the two functions associated with the image list. The InitImageList() function works fine - each row in the grid shows a white bitmap image in the appropriate column. However, the BuildImageList function doesn't appear to work as intended. Essentially here's the process I'm using:
- Load all bitmaps
- Create two DC - a sourceDC and a targetDC
- select the target bitmap into the target DC,
- select the first source bitmap into the source dc
- BitBlt the source dc onto the target dc
- select the second source bitmap into the source dc
- BitBlt the source dc onto the target dc
- retrieve the bitmap from the target dc
- replace the first imagelist image with the new bitmap
For the raster operation, I've tried both SRCCOPY and SRCPAINT.
What am I doing wrong?
void CMyGridCtrl::InitImageList()
{
if (m_ResultsImages.Create(34, 21, ILC_COLOR4, 0, 1))
{
CBitmap bmp;
CBitmap* pBmpMask = NULL;
bmp.LoadBitmap(IDB_RESULTS_BOTH_CLEAR);
m_ResultsImages.Add(&bmp, pBmpMask);
SetImageList(&m_ResultsImages);
}
}
void CMyGridCtrl::BuildImageList(int nConsultID, int nLabsID)
{
UINT nImgConsult = 0;
UINT nImgLabs = 0;
switch(nConsultID)
{
case 1 :
nImgConsult = IDB_CONSULT_ORDERED;
break;
case 3 :
nImgConsult = IDB_CONSULT_RETURNED;
break;
default :
nImgConsult = IDB_NORESULTS;
break;
}
switch(nLabsID)
{
case 2 :
nImgLabs = IDB_LABS_ORDERED;
break;
case 4 :
nImgLabs = IDB_LABS_RETURNED;
break;
default :
nImgLabs = IDB_NORESULTS;
break;
}
int nTargetWidth = 34;
int nTargetHeight = 21;
int nSrcWidth = 17;
int nSrcHeight = 21;
CBitmap bmpConsult;
CBitmap bmpLabs;
CBitmap bmpTarget;
bmpConsult.LoadBitmap(nImgConsult);
bmpLabs.LoadBitmap(nImgLabs);
bmpTarget.LoadBitmap(IDB_RESULTS_BOTH_CLEAR);
COLORREF crBackground = RGB(0,0,0);
CBitmap* pOldTargetBmp = NULL;
CBitmap* pOldSourceBmp = NULL;
CBitmap* pNewTargetBmp = NULL;
CDC targetDC;
CDC sourceDC;
targetDC.CreateCompatibleDC(this->GetDC());
sourceDC.CreateCompatibleDC(this->GetDC());
pOldTargetBmp = targetDC.SelectObject(&bmpTarget);
pOldSourceBmp = sourceDC.SelectObject(&bmpConsult);
targetDC.BitBlt(0, 0, nTargetWidth, nTargetHeight, &sourceDC, 0, 0, SRCPAINT);
pOldSourceBmp = sourceDC.SelectObject(&bmpLabs);
targetDC.BitBlt(nSrcWidth, 0, nTargetWidth, nTargetHeight, &sourceDC, 0, 0, SRCPAINT);
pNewTargetBmp = targetDC.SelectObject(pOldTargetBmp);
m_ResultsImages.Replace(0, pNewTargetBmp, NULL);
}
I also tried doing this:
targetDC.BitBlt(nSrcWidth, 0, nTargetWidth, nTargetHeight, &sourceDC, 0, 0, SRCPAINT);
pNewTargetBmp = targetDC.SelectObject(pOldTargetBmp);
CBitmap newBmp;
BYTE bmpBits[4096];
memset(&bmpBits, 0, sizeof(bmpBits));
DWORD nSize = pNewTargetBmp->GetBitmapBits(sizeof(bmpBits), &bmpBits);
newBmp.CreateBitmap(nTargetWidth, nTargetHeight, 1, nSize, (void*)bmpBits);
m_ResultsImages.Replace(0, pNewTargetBmp, NULL);

I wrote a tool a while back that I use to see exactly what every step in my code is doing when working with bitmaps. Check it out, maybe it will help you spot the problem.

I put all the components where instructed, and it doesn't seem to do anything. Does it matter that I'm using VS2005?
Nevermind - stupid programmer tricks.

Well, the "targetDC" device context appears to change when I copy the images to it, but when I try to do the last "pNewTargetBmp = targetDC.SelectObject()" call in the code above, the viewer won't show the bitmap.

I found that the resulting bitmap on the last SelectObject call is nothing but a single pixel centered in what would be the image.

The single pixel is the default bitmap that is selected into a memory device context. If that is what you see that means you are not successfully selecting a bitmap into that device context. You have to create a memory bitmap the size and bit depth required, and use SelectObject() to attach it to the memory device context. The memory device context will then do all it's drawing onto that bitmap.

Are you looking at bmpTarget or at pNewTargetBmp. Your final image should be in bmpTarget at this point.
