I have a program which pops a window on an event, an incoming phone call. This bit of code works.
HWND temphwnd;
temphwnd = FindWindow(NULL,ProgramTitle);
ShowWindow(temphwnd,SW_RESTORE);
and I can minimize it when the call drops by.
ShowWindow(temphwnd,SW_MINIMIZE);
Can anyone tell me how I can find out the current state of my program window so that I can leave it in the same state as when the call came in. If the user has the window up and active I dont want to minimize it when the call drops.

OK Thanks for that so far 
That gives me the Maximized/Minimized state in that it returns
SW_NORMAL if the window is maximized and SW_SHOWMINIMIZED if minimized. The next problem is, if the window is Maximized but behind another window how can I tell that and what call do I need to bring it to the front and make it active.
If I call ShowWindow(temphwnd,SW_RESTORE); that has no effect if the window is already Maximized but not active. The write up for SW_RESTORE says "Activates and displays the window" but this does not appear to work.

You may want to follow the ShowWindow() with a BringWindowToTop().

I have written a simple, no frills managed C++ DLL, and am having trouble referencing it in a seperate C# project. Specifically, the C# compiler gives me an error, asking whether I have neglected to add a reference or using statement pointing to my library/namespace. However, I cannot insert a using statement in my C# code, even after properly referencing it in my project (right-click on the References icon in the Solution Explorer, click on Add Reference...).
ILDASM can traverse the C++ library, and in it I find my method (I have just one), so I suspect there is nothing wrong in the manner it compiled.
Also, the DLL I'm wanting to reference is in the same directory (bin/) as my C# project's DLL.
Is there anything special I have to account for when writing managed C++, and want to include it in a project of a different language?

I'm getting an error when I try to inherit a new view class for a MDI application, and I can't figure out why :/ .. First I created an OpenGL viewport inherited from CView, and packed it with all kinds of functionality. It works great. But now I'm trying to derive a new view class from it, and I'm getting the following error (using VC++ 6.0 professional):
C:\DEVELOPMENT\MotionX\MotionX.cpp(119) : error C2039: 'classCMotionXModelView' : is not a member of 'CMotionXModelView' c:\development\motionx\motionxmodelview.h(15) : see declaration of 'CMotionXModelView'
C:\DEVELOPMENT\MotionX\MotionX.cpp(119) : error C2065: 'classCMotionXModelView' : undeclared identifier
The thing is, I'm just deriving it from a class that is fully functional, and haven't added anything except a member variable to it.
This is the view class declaration that works:

<br />
This is the derived class.
<br />
<br />
#if !defined(AFX_MOTIONXMODELVIEW_H__AEBACD4C_059E_4D0D_8F56_6A4EFD2C25E9__INCLUDED_)<br />

#endif // _MSC_VER > 1000<br />
<br />
#include "MotionXGLView.h"<br />
#include "MotionXModel.h"
<br />
class CMotionXModelView : public CMotionXGLView <br />
{<br />
public:<br />
CMotionXModel model;<br />
<br />
CMotionXModelView();<br />
virtual ~CMotionXModelView();<br />
<br />
};<br />
<br />
#endif // !defined(AFX_MOTIONXMODELVIEW_H__AEBACD4C_059E_4D0D_8F56_6A4EFD2C25E9__INCLUDED_)<br />
<br />
And this is my InitInstace code in my CMotionXApp class, that should tie the new class to the new document template:
<br />
m_pSceneTemplate = new CMultiDocTemplate(IDR_MOTIONTYPE,
RUNTIME_CLASS(CMotionXSceneDoc),
RUNTIME_CLASS(CChildFrame),<br />
RUNTIME_CLASS(CMotionXGLView) );
<br />
AddDocTemplate(m_pSceneTemplate);<br />
<br />
<br />
m_pModelTemplate = new CMultiDocTemplate(IDR_MOTIONTYPE,
RUNTIME_CLASS(CMotionXModelDoc),
RUNTIME_CLASS(CChildFrame),<br />
RUNTIME_CLASS(CMotionXModelView) );
<br />
Can anyone see what the problem is ??

Uncomment this in your derived class, and add IMPLEMENT_DYNCREATE(CMotionXModelView, CMotionXGLView) in your .cpp file

Hi there!
Is there a way to obtain the parent process' handle using Win32 APIs?
One obvious way is to pipe the handle obtained by GetCurrentProcess() to the child process. But, I wanted to know if there's a direct way.
Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Sachin

Have you see the PROCESSENTRY32 structure, specifically the th32ParentProcessID member?

Hello friends,
I had attend some interviews in recent time and faced one common question.
"When a database application can be developed using VB, then whats the advantage for using VC++ for that same application?"
Please tell me the advantage so that I can easily answer if the same question is asked
Thank you,

none.
except maybe if there's some sort of cross-platform compatibility needed on the front end.

There's multi-threading of course.
VC++ clients can be made more UI responsive esp. if talking about large recordsets. Clever usage can help alleviate the annoying UI stalls.
Conversely, VC++ is much more costly to develop than VB (generally)
Cheers,
Andy

If the person doing the developing is more fluent in VC++, it will probably result in less cost, and quicker turn-around time.

Generally speaking, database access is far easier in VB than in VC++. Technologies such as ADO were built with ease-of-use for VB rather than C++.

"whats THE advantage"?
There is no single advantage there are any number of them. Perhaps the most important would be that you were NOT developing in VB. 
"for that same application"?
What are the rest of the requirements for the application?
I would seriously doubt the technical merit in that question and suspect a purely bias hidden agenda behind it. If that question is aimed at a technical issue that it is very poorly framed. It's as though the asker is expecting you to be thinking the same way he is. I find that to be an inappropriate question at best.
But, that's just my opinion... I could be wrong.

Hi,
i'm creating a jabber client (a chat tool, like icq or msn). In the app, i send info to a server, and i receive from it. I use MFC CSocket.
Is there any api function that checks if you are connected to internet?
thanks!!!

InternetGetConnectedState
It's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature.

thanks!
i looked it up in msdn ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?url=/library/en-us/wininet/wininet/internetgetconnectedstate.asp) , and i don't understand the following:
lpdwFlags
[out] Pointer to a variable that receives the connection description. This parameter can be one or more of the following values.
Value Meaning
INTERNET_CONNECTION_CONFIGURED Local system has a valid connection to the Internet, but it might or might not be currently connected.
INTERNET_CONNECTION_LAN Local system uses a local area network to connect to the Internet.
INTERNET_CONNECTION_MODEM Local system uses a modem to connect to the Internet.
INTERNET_CONNECTION_MODEM_BUSY No longer used.
INTERNET_CONNECTION_OFFLINE Local system is in offline mode.
INTERNET_CONNECTION_PROXY Local system uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet.
INTERNET_RAS_INSTALLED Local system has RAS installed.
the following code always returns online.. any ideas?
unsigned long *a;
a=(unsigned long *)malloc(sizeof(unsigned long));
if (TRUE==InternetGetConnectedState(a,0))
AfxMessageBox("online");
else
AfxMessageBox("offline");

And your point is? I'm aware of the downfalls of using CSocket, some of which aren't even mentioned in your article, but perhaps the OP is not.

You know what would be great is if you could search for stuff on the internet instead of waiting for some nice person like you to provide a link to the page(s) of interest.  
But, that's just my opinion... I could be wrong.
