The application is to unuse the childview function but also want to paint in the childview. So I create a thread to paint out of childview.
When I push the button in childview, it set the event to the waitforsigleobject in ThreadProc and then paint the childview.

But I cannot build the codes successful, could u tell me what is wrong for the codes??

Any suggestion is useful!! Thanks!!

If you want to draw i think you need to WM_PAINT messageand if you use from this message i think you dont have problem.

constructor:
CMyDlg::CMyDlg(CWnd* pParent /*=NULL*/)

in the constructor it self the window is created. So why u gonne call Create again...?

And if u stick to the above code then code like this

if( m_dlg->m_hWnd )
{
m_dlg->DestroyWindow();
}
m_dlg->Create(CMyDlg::IDD, &m_tabctrl/*CTabCtrl*/);// ASSERT(pWnd->m_hWnd == NULL);

You should remove this code from your constructor. because it will create a dialog with the IDD (resource ID) you are passing. that is why it failed.

see MSDN to know how to create modeless dialog?[^]

You can see the following in the documentation... that

For a modeless dialog box, you must provide your own public constructor in your dialog class.

i don't agree

see the code inside the constructor.

CDialog::CDialog(UINT nIDTemplate, CWnd* pParentWnd)<br />
{<br />
	AFX_ZERO_INIT_OBJECT(CWnd);<br />
<br />
	m_pParentWnd = pParentWnd;<br />
	m_lpszTemplateName = MAKEINTRESOURCE(nIDTemplate);<br />
	m_nIDHelp = nIDTemplate;<br />
}

is only sets the member varaiable.Wont create the dialog

yes once I had went through the code...
for the ease of undestanding I explained it that manner.

when creating a modal dialog, the error occurs at module state handling.

The function get called twice. first on the ctor and Create function

Anyway I dont know more about the same. It would nice informative if you share how a modal dialog asserts on the above scenario

check the code he posted.

in the constructor itself he creates the dialog. I.e

CMyDlg dlg; // Dialog is created in this line itself.

then he calls

dlg.Create(...) the dialog is already created, hence Assertion fails will come and most probably from the function

void AFXAPI AfxHookWindowCreate(CWnd* pWnd)
{
..........
ASSERT(pWnd->m_hWnd == NULL); // only do once
...........
}

So it's not part of CDialog. it's part of CWnd right? then how the creation with template name specified occurs?

That code is fine. It was the extra Create() call that was the problem. Note the assertion indicated exactly what the problem was (i.e., the window handle was non-NULL).

Why aren't you using GetTimeZoneInformation()?

I don't quite follow you. Confused | :confused:

You wanted to know how to obtain the timezone using Visual C++. I suggested you use GetTimeZoneInformation(). Now you are talking about browsers and XML files. What exactly is it that you are looking for?

CImageList m_imgList;
HIMAGELIST hImageList = ::ImageList_LoadImage ( AfxGetInstanceHandle(),
_T("d:\\total.bmp"),
64, 32,

IMAGE_BITMAP, LR_LOADFROMFILE);

if(NULL != hImageList)
{
BOOL bRet = m_imgList.Attach(hImageList);
HICON m_hIco = m_imgList.ExtractIcon(0);

//CStatic Control on Dialog with SS_ICON
m_bBitmap.SetIcon(m_hIco);

It's my recollection that you need to create an empty image list and copy the 24 bit images into it in order for them not to revert to the lower bit depth.

thnx for reply... but can you tell me how to copy the 24bin image to CimageList.. and i want to Animate the Images, but if i load one by one image into the Imagelist in Startup initailization then it takes a lot resource and thr will be lots of bitmap image files in the skin folder. like if i want to create a animation of 20 frames then user have to create the 20 images , and i think its better if we use a Image List instead of loading a Single bitmap into imagelist without lossing qualit !

please tell me a way out of this.. thnx Smile | :)

There are actually articles on this site with 24 bit images in toolbars. It would be easier for you to read one of them than for me to repost the code here.

If you want to create a 20 frame animation, you will need to load 20 images, they take up the same size in an image list as they do in a bitmap.

Can I use serialization on a RecordSet Class? To be more exact. I have a program which does all sorts of things with a database. Can I save the results of a querry in a file? And can I load them when I want?

You can derived CComboBox and use from WM_DRAWITEM
like this

void CMyCombo::DrawItem(LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT  lpDrawItem) 
{
	CDC		dc;
	CString		str;
	dc.Attach(lpDrawItem->hDC);
	CRect rect(lpDrawItem->rcItem);

...
...
	DrawIconEx(dc.GetSafeHdc(),rect.left,rect.top,
		hIcon,0, 0, 0, NULL, DI_NORMAL);

...
...
	dc.Detach();
}
