Why would you want to create an Excel macro in VBA that calls C++ code that does something that Excel will do by itself?  That just seems like you are turing left three times when it would be easier to just turn right.

Hello;
I am a bit new in visual programming area. I have designed an interface for my project and it is a "Windows Form Application". I need to read the joystick data from this code. I set DirectX 8 SDK. I can see the data of the joystick using the sample codes from DirectX examples: SDK\Samples\C++\DirectInput\Joystick. But i can not use the functions of this code in my Form application. Do you haver any information how can I adapt it into a Form application? I definetely have no idea about it. I tried so many stupid things because of my unsufficient programming knowledge but they all sucked..
I am looking for a sample code for a Form application which use DirectX joystick functions, it does not matter what form does, I only want to see the template of such project, please help me because I am in trouble nearly for a week,
Tx in advance

Do you mean a Managed C++ / CLI one? There's a specific forum [^] (i.e. post there).

Hi, is it possible to embed manifest file for windows xp visual styles
in my application using visual c++ 6? The only way I know of is to give the
manifest file the same as the executable and copy it into the directory where the executable is. But I want a way the manifest file will be embedded in the application using visual c++ 6.
Visual C++ 2005 embeds the manifest in the application. But I don't know what and how I should do it int visual c++ 6 so that the manifest will be embedded in the application. Please Help.

You can read about COM at wikipedia for a brief orientation here[^].
As for how to do COM, I suggest you have a look at some articles below the COM section here at CodeProject: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/COM/
Michael Dunn has written a nice introduction to COM that can be found http://www.codeproject.com/KB/COM/comintro.aspx

COM (Component Object Model) is a specification for building (and consuming) reusable binary objects (components).
DLL (Dynamic Linking Library) is a collection of functions, in binary form, linked at run-time with your executable.
ATL (Active Template Library) is a library of C++ templates (i.e. source code) used as a tool (or framework) for COM development.

Could not have said it better myself Carlo. 
I could possibly have added that ATL may be used for developing more than just COM components as it contains templates for e.g. windows.
But ATL is my preferred way of developing COM components.

Hello all,
While trying to abort user logoff and shutdown programatically for windows 2008 , windows 7 and then running a process after it results in a screen with a message that following processes are still running and process abc.exe is preventing system to logoff. How can I disable this screen so that I can handle the process of Logoff and thus execute my processes accordingly.
Regards

In my knowledge it's not possible to disable this service. It's actually an information window provided by OS to make the user aware of which applications are blocking shutdown.
Application Shutdown behavior is Changed since Windows Vista. In Windows XP, applications are allowed to veto WM_QUERYENDSESSION without displaying any UI indicating why they need to cancel shutdown. These “silent shutdown failures” are highly frustrating to users, who often take a minute or two to realize that shutdown has failed because no UI was displayed. This is no longer permitted.
Applications that must block shutdown should use the new shutdown reason API. Also applications should no longer rely on always being able to block shutdown. Windows Vista/7 will also not allow console applications or applications that have no visible top-level windows to block shutdown
The details are given in The documentation is available in MSDN website.[^]
Also check this article - Describing Windows XP and Vista Shutdown in Application context[^]
