You draw in response to a mouse message. When a window is moved across
your window, your window gets a WM_PAINT message for the invalidated region
of the window. This means your drawing needs to be the same for WM_PAINT
as when you draw in response to the mouse message.

Can i get some sample code to build a touch screen application

Ermm, don;t they just act like a mouse?
Just ignore WM_MOUSEMOVE when a button isn't pressed, and it should be the same as a normal PC.

Normally you have only to worry on the special design (bigger buttons...) but the applications don't need to be in any way modified. We have developed lots of them here and when you touch the screen is like a click on the left button of the mouse.
If you want to create the driver of one touch screen, then this is a whole different story. But there are several touch screens out there that are not expensive.
Hope this helps.

I have an Activex control which has already been published. I need to add some new features to it. It shouldn't affect the applications that are already using it. How do I go about it?
The control exposes 4 interfaces. Is it better to write a new interface? I also need to use previous 4 interfaces. Should the activex control's CLSID and version be changed?

Just add a new interface to the existing ones. Don't change the CLSID, change the version.
(at least this is my advise)

Thank you very much for your reply.
But, I also need to modify the previous interfaces.It is basically an MFC Activex control(developed as a reusable component)
Ex: Consider that the control exposes two interfaces,
IExample1 - CSample1
IExample2 - CExample2
Now, There are new requirements that needs to be implemented. Basically, new functionality should be added to CSample1 and CSample2.
If I go for a new interface. The methods of this new interface should use the classes CExample1 and CExample2.
If I change the version and if this OCX is copied to the client machine, what will happen to the previous OCX and if I try to insert the OCX in a new application will there be a distinction between the new version and the old one.
I hope I'm not asking too many questions I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks

No. Interfaces must not change (It's the first COM commandment) otherwise client applications will be broken.

This is good and feasible.

Yes, and you can do it.
sv14 wrote: f I change the version and if this OCX is copied to the client machine, what will happen to the previous OCX and if I try to insert the OCX in a new application will there be a distinction between the new version and the old one.
I think that you should replace the previous version of the OCX with the new one.
Anyway I'm not an expert on COM DLL versioning, try also to ask the COM forum.

Hi All,
I am developing BHO (Browser Helper Object)in vc++ and till upto date it works fine.But I want to catch the event when any new explorer window is opened ,means if user opens any new explorer window at that time I want catch that event. SO I tried to use DISPID_WINDOWACTIVATE which do not catch this event. I also tried DISPID_NEWWINDOW2 but it catches event only when any new window is generated from the already opened explorer window.
Do you have any idea or any suggetion where I am making mistake??
Thanks in advance.

Then the ideal way is, create an Event Object with any Unique name (unique name can be generated using GuidGen) in a worker thread at specified interval of time. Then check its GetLastError() value. If the returned valued is ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS, means new window has been opened. Open successful creation, remember to close the handle.

Thanks for replying.
But this not the perfact solution I will have to continuously check for the new window at regular time interval. Is that no other inbiult event that will generate when new window is opened during BHO imlpementation??? 
I will try your suggetion. If you have any other suggetion then plz reply me.
Thanks.

There r no such events. The events u r getting, such as BEFORENAVIGATE, NAVIGATIONCOMPLETE, belongs to the Web Browser ActiveX Control. So the Web Browser ActiveX Control doesn't monitor how many instances of it r running.
As far as I know, there's no such feature in IE.

Each time IE is opened, doesn't an instance of your BHO also get created?

I'm new to Visual C++ and am creating a windows form application.
I was wondering if it was possible to link a console application which is written in C but stored in C++ files to a windows form?
So for example if I clicked a button in the Windows Form application then this would run the console application?

Didn't you ask this question an hour or so ago? If so, this time it makes more sense.
In your onclick event handler, you can use CreateProcess or ShellExecute to run the console program.

Thanks for the reply before you replied I just got the error LNK1152 so not sure if I should try to solve this or use the ShellExecute

I have client class written in C saved into C++ files. This class is to connect to a server. I want to use this code which connects to the server in my GUI which is created using windows forms.
I have added Additional Dependencies to the windows form project. The problem is when I include these .cpp code files to the windows form project I get the error LNK1152.
I also get warning messages: "This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using sprintf_s instead. To disable deprecation, use CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS"
I'm looking into ShellExecute to solve my problem

Again, be specific. We're not mind readers.

Then you will likely need to remove the aforementioned code as it would no longer be needed.

It seems that you need to ShellExecute for run other applications of your program.(anyway you didnt answer to my reply on your previous question  ).
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks for the help I might not need to do that if I can solve the error LNK1152
|
|
|
|

Did you get this error when you used of ShellExecute?
