This keeps your code readable and safe at the same time. And while the pragma is not portable, the resulting safe, readable code is.
Misunderstanding. My bad. Please forgive me this one transgression. 
Just out of curiosity, why don't you consider if (NULL == m_pPointer) readable? I admit it looked strange to me at first, but it's such a simple coding trick that you can use to save debugging time without having to remember some obscure pragma directive.

Why not use:
if (!m_pPointer)
instead of
if (NULL == m_pPointer)
|
|
|
|

Because the second is instantly readable, whereas with the first one you have to remember that "!pointer" means "pointer is not zero".

I agree with Mike, but I would make it
if (m_pPointer == NULL)
instead.
It just looks better to me because it flows more like the way you speak the same phrase. I've never heard anyone say "If NULL is the pointer...", but instead, people say "If the pointer is NULL...".

void NewPointer()
{
if (m_pPointer == NULL)
{
m_pPointer = new(MyCPointClass);
if (NULL != pPointer && m_pPointer->NewPoint()) // NewPoint is a function, right?
{
return;
}
else
{
delete(m_pPointer);
m_pPointer = NULL; // avoid deleting the memory twice! deleting a NULL pointer is safe, but has a performance penalty since a call to the C-runtime library is done.
}
}
}
void DeletePointer()
{
if (NULL != m_pPointer)
{
delete m_pPointer;
m_pPointer = NULL;
}
}
if you insert
m_pPointer = NULL
somewhere in your code between NewPointer() and DeletePointer(), then yes you have a memory leak.

I would just like to say thanks to everybody for their response, all the answers were superb. I just didn`t think to delete the pointer first and then assign it NULL, but everything fits perfectly in my head now. I wondered how the application could delete those pointers in my program that were unused, without any trouble and it was because I had assigned them all to NULL in the constructor! For some reason I thought delete, deleted the memory AND set it to NULL, thats why I couldn`t grasp how it was actually working. But thanks to everyone who wrote in, I am very grateful,
Cheers,
Alan.
P.S. I liked the tips too. Just when I think I seem to be mastering this language, someone comes along and goes "Here's a better way of going about it...", that always amazes me. Thanks for those too guys.

(1) open the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command
(2) read it default value. I got this when I did that here
"%ProgramFiles%\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /mailurl:%1
(3) you need to replace %ProgramFiles% with the actual path
for that use SHGetSpecialFolderLocation and SHGetSpecialFolderPath [you'll find samples in CP]
(4) forget the /mailurl:%1 part
(5) shellexecute the rest of it

Do you need a DLL's source code to generate .tbl or in there some tool that will extract a .tbl file from a .dll ?
I was importing (declaring) functions from a .dll (you may know it RAPI.dll, it comes with MS ActiveSync) into VB software, the functions didn't work and kept returning wierd error values. I tracked down a web site, which offered a copy of a .tbl which described the .dll I was attempting to use. Once registered I had no problem using the .dll . Can someone tell me what was going on ?

Did you try registering the dll?
regsvr32 xxx.dll
Glad you found a solution, its nice to be talking hypothetically instead of urgently.

It seems to be a Com component, its Export Table has all the apropriate functions etc. But I can't registry it ... What is a .tbl file, where does it come from ?

.tbl files are type libraries. They are created when an activeX control is built. They contain all the information regarding an objects interfaces. ActiveX controls are somewhat different than ordinary dlls, in that there is a lot more control excercised over the calling of exported functions.
If you look at your project, you will see some additional files created when you build it using the .tbl. It should create a .c file containing helper functions. Your program calls the helpers, which in turn call Invoke in the control, telling it which method (exported function) to invoke.

I want to recognize a word under mouse position.
How to this problem..
|
|
|
|

Do you want to do it in your app, or system wide ? I've seen this question asked often and never seen a solution, apart from maybe rolling your own OCR software.

This approach is not bullet-proof, and it's sentence- rather than word-oriented, but it might suit your needs.
- Enumerate all top-level windows on the screen with
EnumWindows().
- Stick with the first top-level windows lying under the mouse position (
GetCursorPos(), you sure knew that one).
- Repeat the trick with the child windows of this top-level window --
EnumChildWindows() is the API to use now.
- Stick with the first child window under the mouse position, or the top-level window if none of the childs passes the test.
- Retrieve the text of the window with
GetWindowText().
Problems with z-order seem to be handled OK as the enumeration routines do their job in a top-to-bottom way.

In my case anywhere on the screen
Hope this helps

If you found any solution, please contact me.
I need it much in one of my programs. I saw this facility in Webster Dictionary CD before. It works properly, and returns all words under mouse pointer in every window in all applications, That's a great job.
As I thought, it runs two application agtexe16.exe and agtserv.exe from Accent Software. these two executable files are running when u run the main .exe file of dictionary, because they are in task manager. if I shut down these programs, the application doesn't work anymore and we can not see word returns.
I hope these information were useful, but if you found any solution, please give it to me.
Thank you.
