You can use of CFont::Create and use of SetFont for your work and you need to copy your file to Windows/Fonts and use of Install New Font.

But did you see MSDN
"If no window is associated with the specified DC, the return value is NULL." and I guess it returns a null hwnd and when you want to use of this handle you get an error.

Its a valid DC.. Initially I am retreiving DC by using window handle and at later pointer .. I pass only DC to a function and then now I want to retreive window handle using this DC. This call is getting failed.

Is there any way to find VC++ redistributables version installed on a system, Does there any "registry key" or win32 API exists to find that?

Thanks,

Dynamic menu problem?

Hello dear friends,

I am creating the toolbar in VC 6.0.

I want to show the menu when the button of the toolbar will be clicked.

But when I use the LoadMenu for loading the menu from the resource i get

0 as the return value and GetLastError() returns the description

"The specified resource type can not be found in the image file."

I really don't understand the problem.The code snippest is as shown below.

void CMFToolbar::PopupFileMenu()<br />
{<br />
	<br />
	try<br />
	{<br />
		CMenu mnu;<br />
		CMenu *submnu;<br />
		RECT rectSubmitButton;<br />
		if(!GetItemRect(CommandToIndex(IDB_FILE),&rectSubmitButton))<br />
		{MessageBox("Fail1",_T("QpOffice Toolbar"),MB_ICONERROR); return;}<br />
		if(!MapWindowPoints(HWND_DESKTOP,(POINT*)&rectSubmitButton,2))<br />
		{MessageBox("Fail2",_T("QpOffice Toolbar"),MB_ICONERROR); return;}<br />
		if(mnu.LoadMenu(IDR_FILE_MENU))<br />
		{<br />
			MessageBox("1",_T("QpOffice Toolbar"),MB_ICONERROR);<br />
		}<br />
		else<br />
		{<br />
			char buf[MAX_PATH];<br />
			strcpy(buf,ErrorDescription(GetLastError()));<br />
			MessageBox(buf);<br />
		}<br />
	}<br />
	catch(...)<br />
	{<br />
		MessageBox("Exception",_T("QpOffice Toolbar"),MB_ICONERROR);<br />
	}

Thanks in advance to all of you.

Is the menu resource in the module you're calling LoadMenu() from?
If so, is its id == IDR_FILE_MENU? If so, is it the same IDR_FILE_MENU
you use in the code?

Is this code in a DLL or an EXE?

Thanks for the reply Mark

1)The LoadMenu and the menu resource are in the same module.
2)Its id is IDR_FILE_MENU
3)It a DLL.

I've got one other solution in which I am constructing the menu from the scratch instead of using the menu defined in the resource script.

It is working.

One question in this approach is how to add the things like the menuitem which belongs to the cursor should have foreground color differes from the background color.

So the Menu resource resides in Dll and you call load menu in Dll exported function and you use VS 6.0.

in the exported DLL function, call in the beginning.

AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState( ));

[AFX_MANAGE_STATE^]
