I'm writing a DirectDraw program that has a menu at the start from a template. The author of the template uses
TextOut(hDC, MENU_XBEG, MENU_YBEG, szItem, lstrlen(szItem));
to print out a menu item.
I would like to change the size and typeface of the font. How would I accomplish this? SetFont()?
Thanks for the assistance,
Ryan

First you need to create font. Use CreateFont or CreateFontIndirect for that. Next, you need to make your font 'selected' with SelectObject. You should call DeleteObject when you no longer need the font. I think tyou should read "Font Creation and Selection" in "Platform SDK : Windows GDI" docs before coding. These docs should be installed with your VC++ help.

Check GetNumberFormat() or GetCurrencyFormat() in your doc's.

Also look at COleCurrency. Works like COleDateTime and has a format function that will return a currency in the locale form (such as commas for japan or . if in the US)

I have (so far) a default MDI app with a CSizingControlBarG derived bar docked on the left side of my frame. Since it's the default MDI implementation (the one created by AppWizard), I have a menu, one toolbar, and a status bar. When I begin a resize operation on the control bar, the splitter shows up as it should, but is drawn on top of the toolbar, and doesn't go all the way to the status bar. So, the splitter is the correct length, but it's shifted up by the height of the toolbar (seemingly). How do I fix this, so it draws from the bottom of the toolbar (instead of over it) down to the status bar?
Thanks in advance.

I have created an OnCtlColor function to set the colors of my text boxes, labels,listbox and combo boxes. It works fine with all but the combo box.
Can the text color of a combo box be modified? If so how can it be done?
Thank you

I am trying to send messages to a process I created using CreateProcess().
For the send function I need a HWND handle of the process' main Window. How can I optain this handle from what I know after calling CreateProcess()?

There's no general method for that - CreateProcess can spawn the windowless process, after all. You should use WaitForInputIdle with handle of the child process to give it a time to create its main window, and FindWindow to get the HWND of this window. You'll need the window class name, use Spy++ if you don't know what's the class name.

Hi,
I have an MFC MDI app that I have used to develop a CView derived class that does some pretty involved OpenGL rendering. Nothing heavy computationally, just very focussed on a customers needs.
I now need to apply what I have done in such a way that it can be wrapped by an ActiveX control.
Aside from buying a good book, that I naturally intend to do, can anyone tell me if it possible to reuse the CView derived class   
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated to get me going until the book arrives...

Yes you should be able to reuse this by wraping it in a MFC ActiveX. The book would be the best to help you, I like to avoid using MFC and ActiveX in the same sentence. Damn! Did it twice.;)

Does anyone know how to load an icon into the statusbar without using MFC ? I need this to a COM server in wich I'm not using MFC.
thanx

Do you know of any examples on this, I don't seem to be clever enough to get it running with the explanation of SB_SETICON in MSDN : ), at least not yet that is.

Hmmm... That's a real problem. Which part of the explanation you don't understand?

I don't know how to create a handle to my icon.
I hope I made it clear that I want to create the icon in the "taskbar statusbar". Just left of the clock that is. In MSDN I found something called Shell_NotifyIcon is this perhaps what I should use ?
Thanks for helping me out !

LoadIcon

Quite the opposite - you asked for icon in statusbar. Statusbar != taskbar. There's no such thing as "taskbar statusbar" (however, it would be pretty good name for pub visited by developers)
In MSDN I found something called Shell_NotifyIcon is this perhaps what I should use
Yes.

Seems like I got it wrong, what I ment was Taskbar Status Area.
I have gotten so far that I can create default icons (100-105), but still not the ones that I create. I assume that I don't use LoadIcon correctly.

What do you mean by 'default icons' (100-105)? The predefined icons (the ones with IDI_ prefix) have numeric identifiers well above 32000.

If I call MAKEINTRESOURCE(101), i get a yellow warining triangle. Numbers 100-105 shows Icons, the others that I have tryed are empty.
My own Icon is defined in the resource.h
#define IDI_ICON1 101
In the .rc file the icon is defined like this:
IDI_ICON1 ICON DISCARDABLE "MyIcon.ico"
But if I make the call
LoadIcon(g_hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_ICON1) )
an empty space will show.
I have tryed to change the define to some other number and call that number with MAKEINTRESOURCE. That also creates empty space.
The cpp file:
/*--------------------------------------------------*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
//#include <commctrl.h>
#include <shellapi.h>
#include <winuser.h>
#include "resource.h"
//#import "Comctl32.dll"
//#define IDI_ICON1 1
#define WM_TRAYMESSAGE WM_USER
HINSTANCE g_hInstance;
static VOID ShowNotifyIcon(HWND hWnd,BOOL bAdd)
{
NOTIFYICONDATA nid;
ZeroMemory(&nid,sizeof(nid));
nid.cbSize=sizeof(NOTIFYICONDATA);
nid.hWnd= NULL;
nid.uID=0;
nid.uFlags=NIF_ICON | NIF_MESSAGE | NIF_TIP;
nid.uCallbackMessage=NULL;
nid.hIcon =LoadIcon(g_hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(101) );
lstrcpy(nid.szTip,TEXT("Dryer is active"));
if(bAdd)
Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_ADD,&nid);
else
Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_DELETE,&nid);
}
void main(void)
{
ShowNotifyIcon(NULL,1);
Sleep(3000);
ShowNotifyIcon(NULL,0);
}
/*----------------------------------------------------------*/
resource.h:
/*----------------------------------------------------------*/
//{{NO_DEPENDENCIES}}
// Microsoft Developer Studio generated include file.
// Used by Icon1.rc
//
#define IDI_ICON1 101
// Next default values for new objects
//
#ifdef APSTUDIO_INVOKED
#ifndef APSTUDIO_READONLY_SYMBOLS
#define _APS_NEXT_RESOURCE_VALUE 102
#define _APS_NEXT_COMMAND_VALUE 40001

I am new to programming and was wondering how to successfully add a class to a Dialog based project. I am using VC++ 6.0. I am trying to add the CxShadeButton class, that is posted on this site, in to my project. I tried
the 4 steps listed in the source code but keep receiving "Program termination error message". When I exit C++, I then get the blue screen. Any input would be appreciated. I did download the demo and it worked great.
Thank you.
