Read a good book and learn C++. Then you may read a good book on Windows programming but, at first, don't bother about MFC.
When you eventually reach a good knowledge of both C++ and Windows programming, then find out that you don't really need MFC.

Why is that so, if i learnt C++ and Windows Programming then i will not be using MFC, but i thought MFC are related to both C++ and Windows Programming, plus it also help you to create the necessary Class Files for you to program. Is there any books or website that offers this kind of teachings?

Oh don't worry about. Simply I don't like very much MFC. Indeed, if you want to be stuck with MFC, the book Rajesh R Subramanian suggested (Prosise's) is a good one.
Anyway if you need to do some C/C++ Windows programming, good C/C++ knowledge is a must, good Windows programming is a must too. On the other hand MFC isn't such a must. It is just a framework built on the top of the Win32 API. You can enjoy other frameworks or you may just roll your own classes.

I see what you mean Pallini, thanks for the advice, because i am learning from the beginning as i am not very good in programming. I will be going to do a look up. By the way is there any website that can provide tutorials or projects that i can do, so that i can learn and also know how i have improve in building Windows Programs (E.g. Creating a simple e-learning tool)>?

Why does everything have to come from the Internet? What happened to the days when folks thought up their own problems, even small ones?
Convert fahrenheit to celsius
Add up numbers from stdin stream
Write to and read from a file
Determine if a date is valid
And if algorithms are your thing:
Bubble sort an array of numbers
Add to and delete items from a linked list

David we're since a long time in the CUT & PASTE era. How old are you?
BTW Probably we'll end up into the CUT ONLY era.

That is stupid.
Noone in his right mind would want to program Windows in C alone. And that is what the Win32-Interface is.
MFC is stupid enough, without having to program "C with classes".
Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable, let's prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

See point (1). I'm not talking about plain C, however, programming Windows using plain C is an option: if you don't like that kind of programming then you think nobody will do?

I don't agree. Some aspects of MFC are good. But I don't like the whole MFC.
4.jhwurmbach wrote: without having to program "C with classes".
Programming Windows with C++ using Win32 is not programming C with classes. It's programming C++ exploiting a very-very-good C API (while I can't say very-very good about MFC Framework).

have a query on Combo box..
i have a file which contains one set of values. and the there is heading also which is seperated by semicolons[;], now i want to read the first line which i have done and then use some function to seperate the headings and load it into the combo box. how can i do this? i hope what ever i have told u is clear.
the first line can be something like this
Name;age;sex;address;
this is in a file and take for example there are 500 values.

it looks like detail view in explorer right, why you choosed combo box i can't understand, list view with report view style will be suitable. some thing like List Control[^]
To seperate the items delimitted by semicolons you may use strtok, for MFC CString::Tokenise. Look for CString::Tokenise[^] for sample code.

no its not a detailed view. its just the names in the first line..
goes like this
name
age
sex
address
i want it to display like this in the combo box.. i am very sorry to say that the list box does not fit into my requiremtents..

anyway Tokenize API is useful, I think.

Perhaps this will help (non Unicode console application):
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
ifstream ifs("C:\\data.txt");
if (!ifs)
{
cerr << "Failed to open input file!" << endl;
return -1;
}
string first;
if (!getline(ifs, first))
{
cerr << "Failed to read first line of line!" << endl;
return -2;
}
string word;
istringstream iss(first);
while (getline(iss, word, ';'))
{
cout << word << endl;
}
return 0;
}

Hi,
My application fails after making a call to the Windows CryptAcquireContext API. I get the following error code NTE_BAD_KEY_STATE ( 0x8009000BL ).
Code snippet and details below:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/* @func UINT32 | get_key |
* Description: Get encryption key. In order to do this need to
* acquire encryption context and hashing object.
*
*---------------------------------------------------------------------
*/
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
UINT32 get_key(TCHAR * szPassword, HCRYPTPROV * phProv,
HCRYPTHASH * phHash, HCRYPTKEY * phKey)
{
...
...
// Get handle to user default provider.
rc = CryptAcquireContext(phProv, NULL, MS_DEF_PROV, PROV_RSA_FULL, 0);
if(!rc)
{
lRet = GetLastError();
if (lRet == NTE_BAD_KEYSET)
{
// create default key container
if (!CryptAcquireContext(phProv, NULL, MS_DEF_PROV, PROV_RSA_FULL,
CRYPT_NEWKEYSET))
{
lRet = GetLastError();
}
}
}
...
...
}
The first call to CryptAcquireContext() here fails with NTE_BAD_KEY_STATE, and there isn't sufficient information available on MSDN bout the error code. All I got was that the error returned from the failing API suggests that the user password has changed since the private keys were encrypted. But there weren't any sort of user modifications done recently on my machine.
The issue occurs on a Win2K3 HP server. But it seems to be happening only on one of my servers and works fine on others.
Any ideas as to what might be going wrong here? I know that re-installing the OS here would fix this (cause it happened on another machine in the past and the only way out that time was re-installing the OS). But re-installing the OS here would mean a lot of work to be re-done at this point for me. Has anyone encountered such a problem in the past, if so, how was it resolved?
Thanks in advance!
- Benson

possibly using the reply from CP for How to create and resolve a shortcut[^]
first of all you didn't mind to replied whether that is useful and next the link is clearly documented.
HRESULT CreateShortcut(/*in*/ LPCTSTR lpszFileName,
/*in*/ LPCTSTR lpszDesc,
/*in*/ LPCTSTR lpszShortcutPath
)
create new shortcut or resolve the shortcut and change the target file name

Can you not use GetClassName, and compare that against EDIT (verify that!),
then if it is any edit box, use GetStyle, and check that for the ES_PASSWORD flag?

If you're in the code that scrapes text, and you know the window class, and you can check the style, why can't you just avoid the GetWindowText call, and set the text to display in your app as "<password -="" i="" aint="" showing="" you!="">", or such.
