can you tell me clearly how to do that?

Most newer VC++ IDE's will place some version defines at the appropriate place in your stdafx.h file to ensure the symbols for the version of windows or IE your targeting get defined. You mentioned that you are using VC++ 6.0 in another thread so you will need the February 2003 Platform SDK in place for Windows XP symbols. (How to get the Platform SDK and getting it installed are described elsewhere on this site).
To get the symbols defined, you need to define the correct version symbols on newer IDE's. Sometimes with the Platform SDK installed and the directories listed in the proper order, you sometimes get the symbols without needing to define the symbol. (This might be due to a default version getting defined). If you still don't get the symbols defined that you desire, you can always try defining the version symbols explicitly like newer IDE's do in the stdafx.h file (I would try putting just the WINVER in, then _WIN32_WINNT, and so on until you get the symbols you need)...
// Modify the following defines if you have to target a platform prior to the ones specified below.
// Refer to MSDN for the latest info on corresponding values for different platforms.
#ifndef WINVER
#define WINVER 0x0501
#endif
#ifndef _WIN32_WINNT
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501
#endif

Did you include Winuser.h, Windows.h?

Hi all,
in my MFC application i want to use the message WM_INPUT but i am not able to see this in the classs wizard,can any one suggest me how to get that????

Which version of Visual C++ are you using?

Sometimes in VC++ 6.0 you can go to the "Class Wizard", "Class Info" tab, and mess with the "Message Filter" in the "Advanced Options" section to get some messages to appear but I think the WM_INPUT message will not show since the Visual C++ 6.0 IDE was built before XP came out. I would doubt the WM_INPUT would show up on newer IDE's but I can only check up to VC++ 2003 and so far I cannot get the wizard to show it.
You will likely need to add the handler manually but first you will need the appropriate symbols. Anything that says it requires XP will likely mean you will need the February 2003 SDK (or something close in date but not later since this was the last SDK to be officially compatible with VC++ 6.0) for the required symbols in a Visual C++ 6.0 environment. How to get the SDK used to be posted all over the place but Microsoft tends to make it difficult to find stuff after it's lifecycle is declared over. You might be able to define the symbols yourself without the SDK but that is really beyond the scope of your question.
I really liked VC++ 6.0 IDE but I must admit that you should probably move up to a newer IDE if you are going to try and use functionality introduced with Windows XP. It is very painful to use VC++ 6.0 with newer features even with the Platform SDK installed.
I hope that helps.

Hi,
I made a simple SDI application with only 2 events. The OnMouseMove
and onLButtonDown. Either of these I wrote a simple TRACE output of their
XY coordinates as shown bellow :
CString str;
str.Format("onMouseMove X=%d Y=%d \n",point.x,point.y);
TRACE (str);
The strange thing is that, some times and not everytime, when I press the left mouse button (without any movement - I checked this many times) at a specific XY coordinates let's say at 100,100 the mouse get slightly moved 1 pixel to the right or to the left ie 99,100. So the onLButtonDown reports a different XY from that is supposed to be.
I know that someone can say that I might move the mouse cursor without knowing but that's not true. I checked this many times and I found it very annoying since I use this for checking 1-pixel thumb nails.
Is there any recommendation? I use VC9 and SDI. I did not tested this with VS6 or older version.
Regards,
George

The last coordinates you get in a mouse move message aren't
necessarily going to be the same as the coordinates when you
stop moving the cursor.
You should use GetCursorPos to get the current position, not rely
on the coordinates from WM_MOUSEMOVE.

Thanks Mark for you help.
I know that 1 pixel thumb-nail sounds extreme and I will try to make it up
but is used in a timeline control where 1 pixel corresponds to 1 second and a slice
might have only 1 second duration which as I already said coresponds to 1 pixel width.
Anyway, you suggest that I should ingore the XY coordinates I get from the WM_MOUSEMOVE
and check all over the time the GetCursorPos either on MouseMove or LButtonDown events? Is that a slow method?
I did not find anything related to this in the MSDN. I suppose you have right, but I can not understand why the XY-coords
are given from the above events, if they are unreliable.
Best Regards,
George

They're reliable but they reflect the cursor position at the
time the message is created and dispatched. Since there's no
WM_MOUSESTOP message, it's not always possible to get the actual
current cursor position from the last received WM_MOUSEMOVE
message.
sdancer75 wrote: check all over the time the GetCursorPos either on MouseMove or LButtonDown events? Is that a slow method?
I personally use GetCursorPos() in all my mouse message handlers.
The mouse is a relatively slow device, so the time it takes to
call GetCursorPos() is insignificant.

Hi
Is there any C++ project or toolkit for solving math equations?
or a good article?

There's Google, a powerfult toolkit for answering such a question [^].

Putting "Bold Headings" on dialog box without using static text.
it was somthing like setting text property and write text on dialog box using X,Y position.
pls help

if you don't want to use a STATIC control then you have to handle the WM_PAINT message and write the text (possibly using TextOut) in your message handler.
