I just built a simple database using CFormView. When I was completing the wizard I clicked for the form to start up minimized. After completing my project, I found myself wishing I had chosen to have it start maximized. How can I change this after I've finished? I'm new at this so take pity if it's just a simple change I need to make. Thanks!

Look in the InitInstance() method.

Thank you, I checked InitInstance() and even InitApplication() and can't find anything that would possibly correct this. Any other thoughts? I really appreciate your guidence.

Thanks

I created an app that minimizes when it opens and this is what I found.

BOOL CMyApp::InitInstance()
{
...
...
...
	// Dispatch commands specified on the command line
	if (!ProcessShellCommand(cmdInfo))
		return FALSE;

	// The one and only window has been initialized, so show and update it.
	m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMINIMIZED);
        m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow();

	return TRUE;
}

Change or add m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED); to the above code.

Did you overlook the m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMINIMIZED) statement in the InitInstance() method?

Below is my initInstance Function. There is no :"m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMINIMIZED)". Is there another place it could possibly be? Thank you for your patience!

Was this created with Visual Studio 6? Have you looked at the project's frame-related classes to see if they are adjusting the window's size? Since it is an MDI application, have you looked at the CChildFrame::ActivateFrame() method?

Yes, I did check them. this program is being compiled in VS.Net. Is .Net different enough from 6.0 that there would be something else to consider?

Since I do not use .NET, I cannot say.

You might want to create three projects, A and B and C, with one being initially minimized, one being initially maximized, and one being the default settings. Then compare the files to see where the difference is.

I've never heard the term "data class" before but it sounds like it might be a struct.

You might want to go here: http://www.codeproject.com/bitmap/#Bitmaps[^], where there are several articles that seems to be of interest to you, and of course here: www.wotsit.org[^], the definite guide on file formats.

And, finally, here http://www.codeproject.com/file/ [^]you have several articles with nifty file classes, if that should prove a stumbling block.

I am calling CreateProcessWithLogonW to spawn a new process in WinXP and it takes about 45 seconds on my computer to load the new process....any idea why this is happening....??

It takes about 2 to 3 seconds for the same call to spawn a new process on Win 2000 machine.

How different are the login profiles of both accounts ? (i.e., the one on winXP and the one on win2K)

If one has more processes under HKCU->...->Run, then its normal that is requires more time.

Just a thought

It is a good thought indeed but for my case the user on both XP and 2000 are newly created standard users. They have been created from the User Management console in both OS.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
