Hi all,
Is there anyway to have bold text of the message displayed using
AfxMessageBox().
If yes please give me the solution.

I believe ^CPallini is right with it, but you could maybe try handing WM_CTLCOLORDLG[^] and try to select a bold font into the DC you get as parameter, no idea if it would work or not, but maybe it is worth a try.

You can make your own messagebox.

The answer to your question is a simple No.

But you can a) roll your own messagebox-a-like, and there are plenty in the dialogs section of codeproject.

or b) if you're on vista, use a Task Dialog (see http://blogs.chimpswithkeyboards.com/jonshute/archive/2006/11/26/230.aspx[^] for an article about it)

Using CMFCMenuBar with CDialog

I am upgrading my VC6 app to new mfc feature pack, I have to add a CMFCMenuBar on a dialog box, I am able to add and display the menu bar, but none of its pop up menu items work.... All the menu items in dropdwn/popup menu in menu bar are disabled and not responding to any message... after adding message handler functions, anybody has any idea?? I am posting my code to create and display menubar (CMFCMenuBar) on a dialog box here. I have tried to put this code within OnInitDialog() as well as OnCreate() function of the dialog class.

m_wndMenuBar is a CMFCMenuBar object decleraed in .h file.

if (!m_wndMenuBar.Create(this))
{
TRACE0("Failed to create menubar\n");
return -1; // fail to create
}
CMenu *menu = new CMenu();
menu -> LoadMenu (IDR_ITEM_MENU);
m_wndMenuBar.CreateFromMenu(menu->GetSafeHmenu(),TRUE,TRUE);
m_wndMenuBar.SetDefaultMenuResId(IDR_ITEM_MENU);
m_wndMenuBar.SetWindowPos(NULL,0, 0 ,500,30,SWP_SHOWWINDOW);

Never complain,never explain,just do your work.

You handle it by letting windows do the work.

You wouldn't think you know more about a user's needs than they do, would you?

----

OK, If you're running some sort of kiosk application, I can see how you might want to do something about it. But in that case, I think you can disable a lot of this stuff from within control panel / policies. (gpedit.msc from memory)

----

Just imagine if any program could say "sod you, I'm going to override the user's preferences and stay up all the time. Nerr". To misquote myself, do you think EvilProgram(tm).exe will say "no, I won't leave my 'buy personal enhancement drugs' advertisement on the screen... that would be rude"...

Well, it would be dishonest of them to call it ImAGoodProgramHonestIAm.exe.

Capture WM_KEYDOWN msg in PreTranslateMessage use Virtual Key Code to determine the required combination.

Check this.

BOOL CDlg::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
  switch(pMsg->message)
  {
    case WM_KEYDOWN:
    {
       if( (GetKeyState(VK_LWIN)||GetKeyState(VK_RWIN)) &&
           (pMsg->wParam == 0x44)
          )
          {
             //Its Wnd+D
          }
    } 
  }
}

MFC - how to get the return value from other application (called by CreateProcess)[solved]

Hi all,

I have a project, need to use MFC VC++ program called other application. How can i get the return value from the application?

My CreateProcess code was shown below:

void CProcessDlg::OnBnClickedButton1()
{
	// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
STARTUPINFO   si;   
  memset(&amp;si,   0,   sizeof(STARTUPINFO));   
  si.cb   =   sizeof(   STARTUPINFO   );   
  si.dwFlags   =   STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW;   
  si.wShowWindow   =   SW_SHOW;   
  PROCESS_INFORMATION   pi;   
  CreateProcess(NULL,   "c://a//0.exe",   NULL,   NULL,   FALSE,   NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,   NULL,   NULL,   &si,   &pi);   
}

eg.
ABC.exe will return "2" after it finished, how can my MFC VC++ program read the number "2"?

thanks.
