If you want to create a memory DC to keep the image in, you need to do something like this:
HDC wDC = ::GetDC(m_hWnd);
HDC memDC = ::CreateCompatibleDC(wDC);
HBITMAP hBMP = ::CreateCompatibleBitmap(wDC, 500,500); // or whichever size
hBmp = (HBITMAP)SelectObject(memDC, hBMP);
// Now do your drawing to your memory DC
// Now do your BitBlt
// And tidy up..
ReleaseDC(m_hWnd, wDC);
// To clean up memory DC
hBMP = (HBITMAP)SelectObject(memDC, hBMP); // Restore 1x1 bitmap
DeleteObject(hBMP);
DeleteDC(memDC);
The DC is a precious resource. Using CreateDC("DISPLAY",..) just to get a DC to create a screen-compatible DC when you have a window is wasteful, your code did not have a way to delete the DC you created in this way. If you don't clean up, you'll run out of DCs. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon.
You probably want to make the bitmap and memory dc handles member variables for the dialog object class.

Thank you very much for the snippet

Can you explain why you use of this code HDC hdc = CreateCompatibleDC(CreateDC(TEXT("DISPLAY"),0,0,0));,please

[fx: telepathy mode on]
Because "CreateDC(TEXT("DISPLAY"),0,0,0)" gives me a display device context, which is what I want to be compatible with.
[fx: telepathy mode off, removes sarcasm extraction filter]
which of course, ignores the fact that there's a perfectly good display DC associated with the window, has total disregard for the need to delete the created DC, and has all the hallmarks of not having studied the Win32 API in any detail.

Hi, I am making one application using WIN32. I want to move my mouse cursor to specific point which is not within my application area. Is it possible to do that and if yes how can I do that?
Thanks in advance.

Use SetCursorPos. There is an example in MSDN.

Look up CWnd::OnCtlColor in MSDN. There is an example which does just this but on an edit box.

Look up NetQueryDisplayInformation. This should help. Use this in conjunction with gethostbyname to retrieve the IP Address of every system in the network. There is a sammple in MSDN.

Thanks for your reply.
I will try to use it.

I failed to use NetQueryDisplayInformation & gethostbyname together.
When I try NetQueryDisplayInformation() it gives list of Users in the system. (but only passing system name to this function).
I want to check if a System with IP "192.168.20", is connected to my system having IP "192.168.0.100" with System Name "Dev-1".
Please, can you explain how to use NetQueryDisplayInformation() for that?

Then I guess you will have to use
WNetOpenEnum
WNetEnumResource
WNetCloseEnum
There is a sample in MSDN. Look up that sample for more details...

Thank you.
Using these function I am able to get systems in Network.
Now I have to get IP of each system. I will try it using gethostbyname().

Hi !!
Iam using Web Browser control to display a web page in my VC++ application.
My explorer version is IE7.0
The following code worked fine before installing IE7.O.
m_explorerctrl.Navigate("www.yahoo.com",0,NULL,NULL,NULL);
Iam getting the following error
Cannot find "www.Test.com" . Make sure the path and Internet address is correct.
Can any one please help how to solve this problem?
Regards,

Try:
m_explorerctrl.Navigate("http://www.yahoo.com",0,NULL,NULL,NULL);

Are you really passing "www.Test.com" as parameter to Navigate?
Because error seems to say so.

Have you tried correcting the URL so that it is well-formed (http://www.yahoo.con) and see if that makes a difference? I would also try specifying one of the BrowserNavConstants flags as well.
Peace!

Hi,
I need to find a "text" in all the open windows in the application. I send messages from a dll
to all open windows (opened using exe). Both are part of the VC solution.
Am able to send message from dll to a window (active window) using
CWnd * pWndTarget = (CWnd*)dData;
pWndTarget->SendMessage(FIND_MESSAGE, wParam, (LPARAM)pItem)
But if i want to send the same message to all windows using
::SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST,FIND_MESSAGE, wParam, (LPARAM)pItem);
it is not sending the message. Any clues please?
Thanks
Raji

Did the follwoing:-
from the dll -
in header - extern int AFX_EXT_DATA wmFindWndNotify;
int wmFindWndNotify = RegisterWindowMessage(_T("FIND_MESSAGE"));
::SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST,FIND_MESSAGE, wParam, (LPARAM)pszName);
from the APP -
ON_REGISTERED_MESSAGE(wmFindWndNotify, OnFindObject)
But the method "OnFindObject" is not at all called!
Thanks
Raji

Is this in a child window? Only top-level, overlapped, and pop-up windows will receive the
broadcast message.
