You can add a progress bar in your application, initially in hide condition.

when you start write you should visible your progress bar through ShowWindow(SW_SHOW),and when writing is finished you can hide your progressbar tru ShowWindow(SW_HIDE).

I would implement a modeless dialog that contained a progress control. That dialog/control can be controlled via your main dialog as it does the (copy) work.

Hi,

In my application I need to get the complete Hard Drive size.
I am using Windows 2000.

Is there any API to get the size of hard drive in win2000?

I don't want to use WMI class (win32_DiskDrive).

Thanks in advance.

IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_GEOMETRY is another way to do it.
The API to use here is DeviceIoControl.

From Windows XP onwards you can use IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_GEOMETRY_EX to directly get the disk size.

Surprisingly it is called IsWindowVisible[^], but really, google could have told you that in 5 secs.

Hello.
How i can print (ex. as pdf) with:
1. unicode support font (ex. farsi language)
and
2. insert bitmap file

with vc++ 6.0 ? OMG | :OMG:

You can't create/print a PDF file from VC++ out of the box, you will either need a third party PDF writer library OR a PDF printer driver (like CutePDF[^]).

Hello,
no i don't want print directy pdf file,
now i install pdf distiller & have pdf driver - ok -
but when print my string with _T("") macro, print bad words !!!

My sample, use from class QPrint Code Project.

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/printing/QPrint.aspx?fid=301520&select=2885714&fr=1

for example:
CQPrint m_ocQPrint;
m_ocQPrint.Print(hFont,_T("محمد"),FORMAT_NORMAL);

but print bad-words - i found printing text out in CQPrint::Print function & with this code:

// now print the text...
m_DC.TextOut(lx,m_y,strSubText);
if (!(Format & FORMAT_NOLF)) {
m_y += Size.cy + CALCY(m_Abstand);
}

I see...i'm not sure but i guess you need the right font to be able to print this, in your TextOut aproach, try instantiating a CFont object, use e.g. CreateFontIndirect[^] to create a font that fits your needs, select it into the DC and then try to print your text.

Maybe you also need to specify the charset for the font. If you used CreateFontIndirect then you specified it a LOGFONT struct, check out the documentation what it says about the lfCharSet member.
