What OS are you using? I had that all the time on Win98 and ME. It was fine on Win95, and has been fine on XP. Any NT based OS should be fine. Make sure that you're using the latest service pack (at least SP5).
Hope this helps,

Hy Ryan,
My OS is Windows 2000 SP3.
How do I know for sure that MSVC 6.0 is updated with SP5 ?
I did apply it but my experience tells me that sometimes some of the files in system32 are overridden by applications.
Added to that, it does it only with that particular application. I did reset all the settings of my project.
I am a bit lost. Never seen that before in 5 years that I am using MSVC 6.0
Thanks for answering anyway.

Yeah, sorry I can't help more. I don't have the problem on WinXP, that I use now, and I've never had 2k. It seems to be OS related though (in my experience), so you might want to check if there are any more SPs available for 2k. I'm not sure what the latest it.
Although, If it only does it for one application, it's wierd. Have you done a rebuild-all? Have you tried restarting the computer? Probably, but just thought I'd check 
Others may have more they can say on this

it could be the application itself. Here is the obvious stupid questions in case you forgot to check something:
Do you use any unconventional libraries?
Did you try to break the execution by "break all"?
Do you use mix of MT(d), MD(d) libraries?
Do you have custom version of stl libraries?
Could your *.pdb files be out of sink?
Is it possible you have several versions of shared DLL's on your computer?
Did you install Java from Sun on your computer recently? (Rational Rose, Corba, RealTime player)
What is your app actually doing at the time of the problem?

If you have all of visual studio installed, VB loads with an 'SP5' on the splash screen.
If you can keep you head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can think - and not make thoughts you aim;

Hi! everybody:
I'm developing a ActiveX control which is a windowless, If I find something special in my class, I want to SendMessage to this ctrl and let it do something , but I can not get the window handle of this ctrl, so this ctrl also can not get this message.(I have tried AfxGetMainWnd, it doesn't work)
Does anyone has similar experience? Plesae give me some ideas, I'll appreciate
your help.

One possible solution is to have the client pass the ActiveX server a handle of its window. Another solution is a callback interface.

Thank you for your answer.
But I just wonder which function I can call to get the client handle, I have tried AfxGetMainWnd(tested it in Activex Ctrl test Container, it doesn't work).
Thanks again

Hi,
I always thought controls are windows, sometimes invisible.
You can only send messages to windows, even invisible ones (sinks).
One possible way is to use HWND_BROADCAST as window handle. Then every window will get that message. Works well with registered messages, because those are igmored by all but your windows.
The next way would be, to register a message like
MSG_GET_HANDLE ("Hey give me your Handle") and a Message MSG_MYHANDLES ("Here you got it").
So in your ActiveX control, you have a handler for GET_HANDLE and in your application you have a handler for MYHANDLES.
All you have to do, ask all windows to send you their handles. And because only your control understands this message the response will be the handle of your control window. So store the LPARAM as handle of your control handle.
If you really have no window, than you must use THREAD_MESSAGE. But then your ActiveX control must be derived by CCmdTarget I think. Didn't try this one.

I may have missed your point, but why not create a method that you would call when you have that "something special"?

Okay, I know I have seen this before. But now, when I need it, I can't seem to find it. Any help will be most appreciated.
I have and MDI app with 2 child windows, one of which I would like the users not to be able to close, at least not easily. I would like to disable the [X] button so it won't accidently be hit, but I can't locate an easy way to do it.
I did Google and found a couple of question/answer pages, but the solutions didn't work. They dealt with changing the system menu. Isn't there a style element or something easy?
As I said, any help will be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

do it by Calling SetWindowLong(GWL_STYLE)
Thanx

SetWindowLong? Thanks. What value should I use to disable the close button then?

One solution is EnableMenuItem().
GetSystemMenu(FALSE)->EnableMenuItem(SC_CLOSE, MF_DISABLED);

The problem I have with this approach is that as a child window, there is no system menu for it, and I get an unhandled exception. This is when I put these statements in the OnCreate handler of the child window.
When I put this in for the main frame, then indeed it does disable the close, but for the main window, not for the child.
Thanks,
Dave

That should work anyways. See the doc for CWnd::GetSystemMenu.
CWnd::GetSystemMenu
CMenu* GetSystemMenu( BOOL bRevert ) const;
Return Value
Identifies a copy of the Control menu if bRevert is FALSE. If bRevert is TRUE, the return value is undefined.
The returned pointer may be temporary and should not be stored for later use.
Parameters
bRevert
Specifies the action to be taken. If bRevert is FALSE, GetSystemMenu returns a handle to a copy of the Control menu currently in use. This copy is initially identical to the Control menu but can be modified. If bRevert is TRUE, GetSystemMenu resets the Control menu back to the default state. The previous, possibly modified, Control menu, if any, is destroyed. The return value is undefined in this case.
Remarks
Allows the application to access the Control menu for copying and modification.
Any window that does not use GetSystemMenu to make its own copy of the Control menu receives the standard Control menu.
The pointer returned by the GetSystemMenu member function can be used with the CMenu::AppendMenu, CMenu::InsertMenu, or CMenu::ModifyMenu functions to change the Control menu.
The Control menu initially contains items identified with various ID values such as SC_CLOSE, SC_MOVE, and SC_SIZE. Items on the Control menu generate WM_SYSCOMMAND messages. All predefined Control-menu items have ID numbers greater than 0xF000. If an application adds items to the Control menu, it should use ID numbers less than F000.
Windows may automatically dim items on the standard Control menu. CWnd can carry out its own checking or dimming by responding to the WM_INITMENU messages, which are sent before any menu is displayed.

You should be able to create a system menu. In the PreCreate() function add the style for the system menu, then disable the clost button which was explained by the other users.
hope this helps (I'm not sure it will though  )

Hi
I have a little, but pain-in-the-ass type of problem.
I virtually override the OnCancel() function:
'virtual void OnCancel()'
Then at the implementation
void CMyStupidDialogName::OnCancel()
{
::AfxMessageBox("ONCANCEL");
}
I've added the (X) button on the dialog. I press that standard (X) button in the right corner of the dialog and my code isn't executed (oncancel).
Isn't pressing that button equal to canceling?

No. It returns the IDCANCEL value from DoModal(), but OnCancel() is not called.

It's isn't called the 'close' button for nothing 
maybe you should override the OnClose() function...
