Hi All,
In the dialog box, I can put a bitmap by importing the bitmap in the Resource View. However, as far as I know (and tried), it is limited to 256 color bitmap only. Is it possible to put higher color space bitmap such as 24-bit for picture in the dialog box?
Thank you

You must be using an older Visual Studio 
If I remember correctly, older versions didn't have an editor for
bit-depths > 8 but you could still add them to a resource script (RC file).

A typical BITMAP resource[^] in your app's .RC file looks something like
IDB_BITMAP1 BITMAP "res\\bitmap1.bmp"
where IDB_BITMAP1 is the identifier and the pathname of the bitmap file
is in quotes.
If you want VS to insert the code for you, you could add an 8-bit bitmap
in the editor then replace the created BMP file with your 24-bit bitmap.
Or edit the RC file by hand - it's a text file.

I'm writing an ISAPI Dll, but without the full MFC Overhead, i.e. I'm rolling my own! What should I include in stdafx.h to have access to the CString Object.
I am currently including windows.h, the ANSI Standard C Headers, and httpext.h. I know that <windows.h> will conflict with a lot of MFC Windows stuff, and it is easy to run into Linker trouble, if an inconsistent set of libraries is specified.
By the way, Happy New Year to All.

If all you need is CString, then you don't need MFC.
atlstr.h should be the header you need for non-MFC projects.
See CStringT Class[^]

you can use ATL::CString in your project i.e. ISAPI dll!

Bram, since you're still using VC5, CString isn't available separately from the MFC library.
Starting in VS2002 or VS2003 (I don't remember which), they moved CString out of the MFC library and into the ATL.
Software Zen: delete this;

Thanks Garry,
Good from you to remember that I still use VC5.
Santa has been and gone and did not leave a compiler package under the tree.
Hopefully, the Easter bunny is more generous, ( or Maybe St Valintine, although he HAS been very good to me in finding me a partner in Love,Life and Business) or even St Patric if all else fails.
Seeing that I use MFC as a DLL, I think that afterall the overhead is not all that big, so I included 'afx.h' in 'stdafx.h', and deleted 'windows.h' Code back on track with minor modifications!
Thanks again, and a happy 2008 for you and yours
Regards,
Deirdre

Hello.
my prob that i can't change the default caption of my application on the main bar.

The text can be set when the window is created, and can be
changed later with SetWindowText() or WM_SETTEXT.

When a window is created, you get a window handle (HWND).
You can use that handle in a call to SetWindowText():
::SetWindowText(hwnd, _T("My Window Title"));
If you're using MFC, and you've created your main window in
the usual way, you can use something like this:
if (AfxGetApp()->GetMainWnd())
AfxGetApp()->GetMainWnd()->SetWindowText(_T("My Window Title"));
No message handlers are necessary - just call it.

Thank You, for ur helps, but just one more think, where should i insert your code.
I'm usinf MFC.
Ok i tried to put it as follow. but no changes 
void CAutoView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
CFormView::OnInitialUpdate();
GetParentFrame()->RecalcLayout();
ResizeParentToFit();
if (AfxGetApp()->GetMainWnd())
AfxGetApp()->GetMainWnd()->SetWindowText(_T("BIOHAZARD"));
}

Ok i think that i have to put it into OnPaint() Funct. and now it works
Thank you again. God bless you

Hence, do you update the window caption each time the window is painted?

I know that is not a well done job but it's the only funct where it works. does it exist another one. ?

That should have worked.
Change the window title wherever it's appropriate.
Changing it in a view class' OnInitialUpdate() might not be appropriate unless
you want the title to change every time a new view of that class is created.
OnPaint() is a bad choice since you most likely don't need to set the title
every time the window needs repainting.
If you want one title for the lifetime of the app, you could do it
when the main window is created (generally in your CWinApp-derived class'
InitInstance() override).
Also, if you're using the doc view architecture, MFC, by default, will adjust
the title when the active view changes. To avoid this behavior, change
the frame window style to exclude the FWS_ADDTOTITLE style. For info on how
to do that, see How To Change Window Attributes in an MFC Application[^].

although i am using .net c++, i want to run application while .net framework isn't installed on the another machine. anyone knows, is it possible?
thanks.

When you create the project, choose a Win32 application type.

You have to build a win32 unmanaged application, i.e. a native application, that doesn't need the framework at all. With C++ you can do this: On Visual Studio IDE, choose menu item File->New->Project and then, on the newly appeared window, for instance, Win32 project (or one using MFC ).

i see what you mention, but it doesn't work, that you tell

In fact it works as I told. I've done a lot of programs that way.
The only caveat maybe the runtime version: you have two options, link with the static version of the runtime (/MT option) of compiler command line or deploy the runtime DLL toghether with your application.

Any app you create with the .net framework is going to need the framework runtime. No way around that.
