...drops down a dialog box...
What do you mean by that?

There is some code around CodeProject.com that will dropdown a menu just below a button when the button is clicked (like the "Back" or "Forward" buttons on the Internet Explorer toolbar, or the "Views" button on the Windows Explorer toolbar).
Instead of dropping down a popup menu, I want to drop down a dialog box just under the button. When the user clicks outside the dialog box, it will go away.
Thanks,

Do not have the code with me but this is how I do it:
1) Create a normal dialog box.
2) Use a piture control to make line across the dialog box, where the fold will be.
3) Uncheck visable in the piture controls' properties, unless you want it visable when box is unfolded.
4) When dialog box is initialize get and save the size of the dialog box. Then get the rectangle for the piture control and use it to set the folded size (dlgRect.bottom = pictRect.top). (make you are using screen coordinates)
Use MoveWindow() to set new size.
5) You should have added a button, to the unfolded portion of you dialog, that is used to tell it to unfold (normaly called Advanced). Add a handler for that button so that when it is pressed you can resore the dialog to its' origanal size.
That is about all there is to it.
Trust in the code Luke. Yea right!

Thanks for the assistance, butI think I wasn't clear enough in my question...

Expect an e-mail from me later to night, if you have not received it by tomorrow then send me a reminder via e-mail(subject: drop down dialog). I have just what you are looking for at the home. It requires a CDialog derived class to catch the mouse and help position the dialog, and TrackMenue() to pop it up.
I was thinking of writing a aticale on this now I have a reason too.
Trust in the code Luke. Yea right!

It drops a dialog box off of a static control, but the concept is the same.

Hiya, ok I know about Threads and Processes to a point. A process is the app you run and a thread links 2 apps together. ( I think this is right!! - please feel free to correct me on this!! )
Anyway, how do I run 2 of the same apps ( on separate computers ) and if something is done on one, detect the change on the second app, and update that app to reflect that change??
Thanks,
grahamoj.

One solution is COM. Another solution is socket.

???????
ok i agree with what you says with the process...
but not in the matter of thread, threads are the childs of procesess..i never think it can synchronise or communicate with the independent procesess...
i think ur neeed is the simple synchronisation of two program datas/something else...u just need to perform some sockets/shared memory/pipes/mailslot for acheving that
be specific with you requirements
thanks

I have a formview based project, it washes the system, while its clearing, a progress dialog bar appears, but it goes too fast.
Is there any way to slow down the progress dialog bar?

Slow down the progress. Add a sleep in your loop...
Just Kidding..

Actually, I'm not sure why you would want to do this. If the operation is too fast for a progress bar to display than you don't need a progress bar. Maybe just use an hour glass.

if your operayion is so fast, just avoid the use of progress bar. it usually helpful when we want to show the progress of lenghty / time consuming operations infront of the crazy users..hihih  (pardon me ..)
Just Use the controls in appropriate situations...
thanks

I write a program,which I can choose a program(exe file) that and I can run it as a SERVICE.I do it like this:
SC_HANDLE schSCManager = OpenSCManager( NULL, NULL, SC_MANAGER_CREATE_SERVICE);
if (schSCManager==0)
{
Errorrrrrrr
}
else
{
SC_HANDLE schService = CreateService
(
schSCManager,
servicename,
"My Service",
SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS,
SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS|SERVICE_INTERACTIVE_PROCESS ,
SERVICE_AUTO_START,
SERVICE_ERROR_NORMAL,
pPath,
NULL,
NULL,
NULL,
NULL,
NULL
);
if (schService==0)
{
AfxMessageBox("Fail to create");
}
else
{
AfxMessageBox("Service Created");
CloseServiceHandle(schService);
}
CloseServiceHandle(schSCManager);
Now the problem is I choosed one windows application,then whenever it start as service,it stay at STARTING mode,never
go to STARTED mode.Any idea about it?
Thanks.

Once the service object has been added to the SCM database, don't you need a subsequent call to StartService()?

No,thats not the point.By default it does not start and I have to call StartService(),my problem happendafter calling this function and always stay at STARTING node after calling this function.

I don't see that as a possible state. Perhaps it's one of:
SERVICE_CONTINUE_PENDING
SERVICE_PAUSE_PENDING
SERVICE_PAUSED
SERVICE_RUNNING
SERVICE_START_PENDING
SERVICE_STOP_PENDING
SERVICE_STOPPED
What does StartService() return?

I think it stay at this status.It show the service in Services list,and show it whit STARTING state.

Thanks for your reply. But I don't think thats the problem,because its windows application and I can run it without problem.It happend when I run it as service.

Since StartService() is returning 0, what does GetLastError() return?

Thanks for your help David.My problem is solved.I was going the wrong way.
