Hello,
You answered my question last time.But I was not able to create the frame window without removing
if (!pFrame->LoadFrame(IDR_MAINFRAME))
return FALSE;
What I have done is this in the application class's
InitInstance()
if(!CMDIFrameWnd::Create(NULL, "MyFrame",WS_VISIBLE,
CRect(0,0,0,0),NULL, NULL))
pFrame->SetMenu(&mymenu);

i keep getting this window that pops up with something like "the wireless mouse battery is low..."
and I don't know what to do!
Is there an API or..?
I hope this is the right board

Did you try replacing the battery in your wireless mouse?

Turn the mouse over. The battery juice keeps settling to the bottom.
BTW, do you have a Microsoft Laser Mouse 6000?

Yes but I don't want to do it 
It's amazing how long I'll put up with that dialog popping up before I reach all the way over to
the drawer next to me for batteries 
Update: Mouse battery status is now critically low

Hi,
Could u give some pointers on how to create a window that would look like MSN live messenger ? I am referring to those funky adornments and decorations that are found on MSN Live Messenger ? Things like gradients, tiny bitmap buttons, flyout controls - its like they have used HTML rendering for this.
Your help is highly appreciated as I am suppose to give my thoughts on how to create a similar gui for an application.

Something like that would be very complex and would require a lot of drawing functions, and a LOT of owner-drawn controls - you would have to owner draw pretty much everything, which although having a nice end product, is very laborious and time-consuming. Note also that although it looks funky, it does slow the application down significantly, especially if transparency and other complex graphical renderings are used, one of the reasons why I believe that Windows Live Messenger is quite slow :@. You could think about creating simple owner-drawn items, such as buttons and menus, which are relatively simple to do, and then you could have some decorative bitmap images kept in a resource file which could be painted onto the background or something using the WM_PAINT command. You could also use transparency to make the application look more futuristic - take a look at this sourcecode here (Note the copyright notice).
Also, if you are using Visual Studio, take a look at the GDI+ documentation on MSDN for some more information. GDI+ is a good API as it is redistributable, under the copyright notices (look at the legal information on MSDN), and it allows for some basic image manipulation and reading of common file formats such as .jpg, .gif and .png, aswell as some nice text functions.
It also depends whether you want to use classes and MFC or not. I'm sure that there are a lot of classes out there for this sort of stuff, but as a straight-C programmer I am not familiar with any of these.
If you specify what you are trying to aim for further, I may be able to help you out a bit more.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
I am using Visual Studio 2005 and Win 2k3 and I have made a command "del /S /Q /f c:\\testfolder", and want to execute it through CreateProcess, i get the error The system can't find the file specified i.e. "Del" exe, I usually use Del from command prompt, and in command prompt it works fine, any help regarding that.
Warm Regards,

I couldn't understand from that, what is system, is it a command??
|

system() is a native function from the C runtime, but deprecated. as i said previously, you should prefer using ShellExecute() instead

as bad doesn't mean evil . On the other hand, being forbidden would be irresistible, at least to me...
