When the cursor stays on an icon(i.e. an icon of a folder or an application), how can i get the message that there is a folder under the cursor? Just like the tooltip, when the cursor stays on an icon, it appears. I want to accomplish the same function.

Store these icon locations in a vector/list. Then on mouse move check whether the current mouse position is within any of the above icon locations. Handle ON_WM_MOUSEMOVE to track mouse movement. You can wrap the icon, it's location and corresponding tooltip in a structure so that you don't have go hunting again for tooltip.
Some other functions that could interest you are...
std::find_if
GetCursorPos
SetCapture
ReleaseCapture

Well, I have thought about this method, but if I adjust my screen resolution, it seems that locations of folders would change. And another problem: 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.
When I use Spy++ to chase messages, I found that a message called TTM_WINDOWFROMPOINT was posted. But the problem is that MSDN says this message only can be posted by coder, and recieved by system. So I wonder whether there is a message or a function can get the message that the cursor is on an icon at current positon.
I suppose function WindowFromPoint() is usefull, but I'v got no ideas how to accomplish my purpose.

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!
You need to write a shell extension... Here is a tutorial series by Michael Dunn!

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 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

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.

Wow! I can remember when you could get BC for the same price as a large pizza. That was before they started bundling it as a suite, however.
