Howdy,
I've never seen any mention of specifying a different DLL file to be used by windows to draw your app.
I've seen instances of people using the DrawThemeXXXXXXXX() functions found in uxtheme.h & UxTheme.dll,
though have never been able to see a possible way to load your own theme data.
Reading from "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762202(VS.85).aspx": SHGetShellStyleHInstance first attempts to load the version of Shellstyle.dll from the current active visual style. If that is unsuccessful, the version stored in the System32 directory is used.(EDIT: however, that function is deprecated after winXP sp2, so that rules out placing a hook on the function and returning a handle to your own DLL) 
In short, the only way I've ever themed applications is myself, the hard-way. I.e define all of the bitmaps to be used for your window edges/features/controls etc and then code in the rules that define how they'll be applied (think about the 'behaviour' of WMP11 as it's resized)
Of course, you could just search for one of the many styling libraries out there. There's a great one floating around here somewhere. I think it's called the StyleToolkit by (Darren Sessions)
Here: 'ave a look at this: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/GDI-plus/Style_Toolkit.aspx

Thanks to 'enhzflep' for the reply,
I also want to know that, how can I hook system function to avoid returning of system dll by supplying my custom dll handle ?

Hello
I have a code where 2 double data types are added,
double = double1 + double2;
I am purposefuly not declaring a variable of type double and writing
what the issue am facing is,
sometime the double2 becomes negative. but i want to ignore the negative and just ad the 2 numbers.
so can i do like,
double = double +- double2;
Let me know.

I believe what you are looking for is abs, that will give you the "absolute value" of whatever you feed it, so if your value is 123, it will give you 123, if it is -321, it will give you 321. Is that what you want?

Ya i want to avoid the negative that sometimes comes up with double2.
so how to do that programmatically?
can you show a sample code?
so does that mean, there is a better way to do that, rather than doing,
double = double1 +- double2; ?????

This:
dipuks wrote: double = double1 +- double2;
translates into this:
double = double1 + (-1 * double2);
Thus, it will turn your negative double2 to positive BUT it will also turn positive double2 to negative which is i supose not what you want.
But this:
double = double1 + abs(double2);
will ALWAYS work with a "positive double2".
You could also do this:
double = double1 + ((double2 > 0)?double2:-double2)
or
if (double2 > 0) double = double1 + double2;<br />
else double = double1 + -double2;
or
if (double2 > 0) double = double1 + double2;<br />
else double = double1 - double2;
Or i don't understand what you want to do.

Isn't that what the reference to abs() was for?

Why do you want to download it independantly ? It should be part of the platform SDK. Did you download the PlatformSDK ? Which version of Visual studio are you using ?

|

I am using vs 6.0(vc++)
Thanks

Which version of Windows are you targeting? This API is present only in Windows 2000 or above. You must ensure to define _WIN32_WINNT and WINVER to something that's above 0x500 (Windows 2000 or above) to have this API available to be used from your code.
Are you using a really OLD SDK?

Download the platform SDK from the microsoft site and integrate it to visual studio.
if you are using VS 6, you have to download platform SDK 2003[^]
If you are using any latest version of visual studio, better download the latest SDK[^]

I actually checked for a latest SDK than SDK 2008 by googling "SDK 2009". which didnt give me a valid result. Now only I came to know that, they changed the convension of post fixing the year with the SDK name  .

Did you investigate after my previous reply [^] ?
Why don't you provide more information if what I suggested is not what you are looking for ?

rajugis, this is at least the 10th thread i've seen you make in the past week where you've asked for some obscure function or technique, having shown absolutely no attempt at solving the problem yourself. If you don't try and find a solution on your own, then nobody else will bother helping you to find one.

Hi,
Some where I read that when we don't have the efficient size for a data type we can increase this one by using operator overloading.
For example he is saying that a integer is having 2 bytes of memory occupancy by using operator overloading he says that he can increase this memory into 4 byte. Is it really possible like in this approach.
Any one please show me the correct path for this.

By operator overloading?! No. Maybe a pragma pack.
And what do you mean by 'an efficient size for a data type', pray tell?
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p
