Is it possible to draw behind the Desktop Icons on Vista (Animated)?

Do you want to draw like this or want animation drawing ?

HDC hDC = ::GetWindowDC(NULL);
::Ellipse(hDC, 0, 0, 200, 100);
ReleaseDC(NULL, hDC);

Express edition is free and doesn't have MFC support. You will have to buy Visual Studio, if you want to develop applications using MFC.

Purchasing one of the other editions of Visual Studio.

BTW do you really need MFC?

True, actually i thought to add those in my previous post.
Anyway that is good news for MFC developers that first thing is development is going on MFC and next thing is good news for those who are trying to implement those cool stuffs with their own efforts. And I feel more convenient with VS 2005 IDE than VS 6.0 IDE. Smile | :)

And what is your doubt about? Cannot the thread routine itself monitor such a time interval?

hi..

First i am getting the current time
Example Current Time = 03.00pm
Given time 1 minute.
End Time = 03.01 pm

thread should exit after 03.01pm

but when i comparing CurrTime = EndTime.

The current time is showing 03.00pm

It was the algoritm can you make a code for it? Poke tongue | ;-P

CPallini9-May-08 0:37

Since it is (by OP's admission) a buggy algorithm, hence yes, I can implement it. Poke tongue | ;-P

Hi..
here code.

EndTime = StartTime + ts;
StTime.Format("%02d:%02d:%02d",EndTime.GetHour(),EndTime.GetMinute(),EndTime.GetSecond());

if(linfo->bServerConnected==false)

linfo->btimeOut = false;
}
else
linfo->btimeOut = true;

if(CurTime <= StTime)

run the thread
