test *pStruct = (test*)pParam;
cstrHost = pStruct -> str;
int_val = pStruct -> item; Just like with candy, you have to first get to the outer portion (i.e. the wrapper) in order to get to the good stuff inside.

Hi all,
I've just tried to bold the font in a particular static in one of my dialogs.
for this i have done this :
I Have 2 statics left aligned, containing exactly the same string (the upper one is for comparison purpose).
The static I modify has a control variable of type CStatic on it.
here is the code i put in the dialog's OnInitDialog() :
HDC hdc = (HDC)(*m_myStatic.GetDC());
TEXTMETRIC tm;
::GetTextMetrics(hdc, &tm);
int n = ::GetTextFace(hdc, 0, NULL);
TCHAR* pszFontName = new TCHAR[n];
::GetTextFace(hdc, n, pszFontName);
CFont nf;
nf.CreateFont(tm.tmHeight,
tm.tmAveCharWidth,
0,
0,
tm.tmWeight,
FALSE,
tm.tmUnderlined,
tm.tmStruckOut,
tm.tmCharSet,
OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS,
CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS,
DEFAULT_QUALITY,
tm.tmPitchAndFamily,
pszFontName);
delete[] pszFontName;
m_myStatic.SetFont(&nf);
as you can see, i merely duplicate the original font without bolding it, but what a surprise, the static is bold anyway 
can anyone explain me why the font (Tahoma) is acting like this ?

You are creating a local CFont object. Hence the CFont object get's destroyed. This is the reason for this wierd behavior, might be since the font object got destroyed it's using DEFAULT_GUI_FONT.
From MSDN:
Specifically, do not destroy the specified CFont object until after the CWnd control has been destroyed.
Windows does not copy the font specified in a SetFont() call.
If the font is destroyed before the control is destroyed, unpredictable results can occur. "new" the font object and see the difference...
And by the way you don't have to write this much code for modifying an existing font object...
Here is the code snippet that does this...
CFont* pFont = m_cstc.GetFont();
LOGFONT lfLogFont = { 0 };
pFont->GetLogFont( &lfLogFont );
lfLogFont.lfWeight = FW_BOLD;
CFont pNewFont = new CFont;
pNewFont->CreateFontIndirect( &lfLogFont );
m_cstc.SetFont( pNewFont );

Don't make things any more complicated than necessary. See here.

Ok, so only respond to those in your handler function. Send the rest on to the default handler.

Hi
i want to create a project in visual studio 6 that contains multipe C source files and header files
but i cant understand how a file can access a function or a variable declared in the other file ?
and i want to know if its right to add #includes for the standard libraries in all files ?
thanks

What you need to do is provide a function prototype of your function that will be declared in your header file. Then the function body will be in the cpp file.
In the cpp file in which you would like to use this function, simply include the header file. If the function is defined somewhere in a cpp file, then the linker will do its job  .

A good practice is to include only the files you need in your file.

For functions, Cedric Moonen has answered you. For variables, look at the keyword extern for doing this.
Ayman Mashal wrote: i want to know if its right to add #includes for the standard libraries in all files ?
It is perfectly safe to #include the libraries in all the files, until they are guarded with #ifndef, #define and #endif to prevent it from being included multiple times.

lets say that i have header.h file that contains types,variables,defines declarations
and that i have main.h file that include header.h file
and main.h is included in many source files .
now when i try to build the project i get that the variables in header.h already defined in the obj
file .
so how can i deal with this ?
thanks

You need to surround your header file with include guards. Something similar to this:
#ifndef MYFILE_H
#define MYFILE_H
... The code of your header comes here
#endif
You need to replace MYFILE_H by something unique in your project. In general, you can simply use the filename.

Why not only
<br />
#if _MSC_VER > 1000<br />
#pragma once<br />
#endif // _MSC_VER > 1000<br />
at the top of the .h-file? Seems to work fine.

Yes, it will.
Way suggested by Cedric is one of the ways. And using pragma's make code dependent on particular compiler.

in headers, you shouldn't define variables. you should only declare extern variables, that means to the compiler that the variable has been defined somewhere in a c/cpp file ; it's the linker job to synthetize this.

Technically you can, but it's bad practice. Put them all in a single file common to all of your project. Since those files are not going to be changing, take advantage of precompiled headers by turning on precompiled headers for that single file.

Hi,
I need to customize menu completely. Means including the border of menu. From CP, I found that for complete customization, we have to use windows hook. Is there any other method to avoid windows hook?

No, you haven't. You might have seen one of them.
I can see this article explaining owner drawn[^] menu.

Yes I did refer the same. But it uses the windows hook.

No, it don't.
I'm not sure what link you are refering to.
But, I can see owner drawn menu BCMenu.

I checked the code and found that it does not deal with menu border. but i need to customize the border too.
