Tried Russian - no problem. VS.NET is a true Unicode application. Check if there's something else misconfigured on your machine.

Thanks for reply.I'll try another language,but I don't think it is some thing misconfigurated on my windows,because I don't have problem in C#,it is only in VC.I changed the language culture in project setting to Farsi too,but there is no change.

Even with Unicode, not all fonts support all characters... it is just too much work for the average font maker to put in every single character. It could be that the right fonts aren't installed on your machine.. Confused | :confused:

I guess it depends - are you saying the ?? characters show up in the VC.NET IDE, or in your program's output/windows? If the former, I suppose you can probably change the fonts in VC.NET to ones that support Farsi. If it is your app, make sure it is being compiled in Unicode mode, and, again, that it is using fonts that have all the necessary characters.

Hope that helps.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Okay, then it must be the same I meant when I said "select your language".

Hello I need your expert help. I am trying to make my app to auto hide on start up. Here are part of the code..

CTestDlg.h
----------
I put this on the message map.

afx_msg void OnWindowPosChanging(WINDOWPOS* lpwndpos);

CTestDlg.cpp
------------
I put the following line in BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CTestDlg, CDialog)

ON_WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING()

And have the following function

void CTestDlg::OnWindowPosChanging (WINDOWPOS* lpwndpos)
{
    CDialog::OnWindowPosChanging(lpwndpos);

    if (lpwndpos->flags & SWP_SHOWWINDOW) {
	lpwndpos->flags &= ~SWP_SHOWWINDOW;
    }
}

It compile without any error but when I run the program the dialog are still visible. Any ideas?

Thank you very much.

Try to change flags before call to base class function.

In OnInitDialog try:

if(!this->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE))
{
     <code>//handle the error if there is any</code>
     ...
}

to show it again:

if(!this->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW))
{
     <code>//handle the error if there is any</code>
     ...
}

This is not very fast solution.

... ok...

So how do you show/hide a modeless dialog?

A show/hide cycle on my machine took about 12.679709572027 ms over 1000 samples.^* That would be 6.3398547860135 ms to show or hide. I don't know about you, but I'm sure I can't distinguish the difference between 1/158th of a second or 1/200th of a second.
