I want my program to display something like the tooltip when user stays its cursor on any icon of folder, so it is almost impossible to store the locations of all folders.

If your folders are controls then you can call EnableTooltips in OnCreate or OnInitDialog and handle TTN_NEEDTEXT notification.

MSDN has useful code snippet. This way you don't need to store icon locations.

Prototype for TTN_NEEDTEXT looks like this...

BOOL TooltipHandler( UINT id, NMHDR * pTTTStruct, LRESULT * pResult );

The folders I mean are those which on the desktop or Explorer.exe, not in my application.

Mmm I guessed it earlier that's why I asked whether you want to handle explorer icons!

get network path in tree control

Hi all,
I want to get the network path in tree control such that if I expand the tree then if that particular folder on network is password protected then it should ask for the user name and password first then expand the tree.
For example- My system is connected to LAN and I have one account on "development" (we keep the backup files on "development" that is handled by server and save to server). I open development by clicking Start->run->(\\development) and it ask for user name and password, if uname and pwd are correct then I am able to open my account on development.

Now I need to implement this in to my code. Network path should come in tree and when I expand "development" then it should pop up the same window for the userid and password.

Please give me your suggestions.

Thanks

Hi Madan,

have you looked to John McTainsh's Directory and network browsing using a tree control[^] article? It may give you a clue.

Best regards,
Mihai Moga

Hi Mihai,

Thanks for replying. I went through the web link that you provided to me. I just want to know that how can I check that the folder on the network is password protected?
In John McTainsh's article it is showing the network path in tree but when I click to expand the password protected folder("\\development") it does not ask for user name and password and also does not expand it.
When I open this through Start->run->\\development(provide here uname and pwd) and again run the .exe that John provided then the tree expand "development" without asking uname and pwd.
What I need is- This should ask the uname and password if the folder is password protected on the network. For that I need to check the folder accessibility on the network. I am confused that how to check that this one require user name and password to open or expand?

Thanks

You can use CancelWaitableTimer()[^].

What are some of the best known tools available to detect memory leaks. I know of a couple like "Rational Purify" and Insure++. Any relative comparison figuring out the best preferably the ones which work better in terms of saving time and focus more on multi threaded environments. This is for a comperehensive project that is having 100's of vcproj files.

1) Compuware BoundsChecker[^] is another good option.
2) CRT's built in Memory Leak Detection[^] support also can be used. But its not as user friendly as third party tools, but its free!
