I have not done this, but I would try this starting point:
Loop EnumWindowStations -> Loop EnumDesktops -> Loop EnumDesktopWindows
You can possibly get DC once you have a window handle.
Assuming you have enough security, you should be able to enumerate all windows in entire system.

Is it possible to draw a window within another window, for example if I had 3 dialog windows layed out how I wanted them and a parent window, I would like to have the dialog window displayed as part of the parent window.

|
|
yes it's possible ... create your dialogs as child or the parent window.

How would I do that at runtime with existing windows? Is there a way to set a window to "child" and draw it within the parent at runtime?

Thanks for the links but I'm not talking about keeping a window within an MDI window, I want the contents of the window (i.e. the controls etc) drawn in the parent window, not as a seprarate dialog on top of the window.
|

|
|
My bad. I totally misunderstood. 
Are you talking about just drawing a control at run-time versus at design-time?

Basically I am trying to create a plugin to add functionality to another language, I want to add the ability to create a parent window and subsequent child windows of the same size, I would then lay out the child windows as different views to be drawn on the parent window at runtime, the user would never see the child windows, just the different "views" in the parent window. Does that make sense?
I have access to the various properties of the window such as the window handle so I can modify any necessary properties of the windows in C++.

Have you seen the CreateWindow() function. If, for example, you wanted to create an edit control, you'd have something like:
CreateWindow("Edit", ..., hWndParent, ...);I think the second parameter is WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE but can't be for sure without trying it out.

Yeah, I have tried that but the window already exists and contains controls, I just need it to become part of a parent window.

Would SetParent() help?

It may well do! Don't know how I missed that, I would have to set the child to "overlapped" to make it draw within right?

Thanks for the suggestions! After some messing about, it worked like a charm!

Hi guys.
I don't know if this is the best place for this post.
If not, please redirect me.
I need a design suggestion.
I have to solve a problem consistent in:
8 balls and 8 boxes. Boxes and balls have diferent sizes.
I have to know if I can put each ball inside one of the boxes.
Evidently the balls must fit inside the boxes.
The problem has solution only when each ball fit inside a box.
I solved this problem using backtracking and works fine.
My question is: there is a fast way to do this than with backtracking?
I need the fastest solution.
Thanks in forwarding.

make a ball class, make a box class. define an overloaded operator for comparing sizes, probably based on the box's height and the ball's diameter. sort both arrays (or vectors). they should be matched up at that point.

Ensure you sort them in the same way, say smallest first. Sorry, could not resist!

I recommend reading this[^] article. It's well written, and includes an easy-to-use communication framework and a full-duplex chat client-server app.

I have a wizard derived from propertysheet. It is a modal dialog which is invoked using DoModal(). Immediately after the wizard is displayed, I want to popup a dialog. But i'm not able to track the exact point after the wizard is shown. In which method of the wizard can i do this ???
Thanx for ur help.

Try doing in the OnInitDialog of your wizard.
|
|
|
|
|
At the end of the sheet's OnInitDialog() method, you'll need to post a user-defined message. In the handler of that message, instantiate the other dialog and call its DoModal() method. You cannot do the latter directly from the sheet's OnInitDialog() method.

If you use a modeless dialog box you can create it and show it within the OnInitDialog method of the wizard.
Basic idea
1) Create dialog
2) Call ShowWindow for the wizard (Ensures that the wizard is shown)
3) Call ShowWindow for the dialog (Shows the modeless dialog)
before returning from the OnInitDialog of the wizard.

Thanx for all ur responses. Its working now !!!
I tried first to post a user defined message from the sheet's InitDialog. But that did not work as expected. Then i tried the same from the InitDialog of the property page. And it worked just as required.
Thanx again.

I have a 4-page document to print out. The first 3-pages are
printed in landscape. This I can do.
The last page needs to be printed in portrait. After the first
3-pages are printed, how can I change the orientation to portrait
without prompting the user to print again and this time select
portrait.
I use this code to switch to landscape:
BOOL CFormOptions::SetLandscape(CPrintInfo* pInfo)
{
tagPDA pPrintDlg;
AfxGetApp()->GetPrinterDeviceDefaults (&pPrintDlg);
pInfo->m_pPD->m_pd.hDevMode = pPrintDlg.hDevMode;
LPDEVMODE devMode = pInfo->m_pPD->GetDevMode();
if (devMode)
{
// devMode->dmPaperSize = DMPAPER_LEGAL;
devMode->dmPaperSize = DMPAPER_LETTER;
devMode->dmOrientation = DMORIENT_LANDSCAPE;
GlobalUnlock(devMode);
}
return DoPreparePrinting(pInfo);
}
and I call a similar function with DMORIENT_PORTRAIT just before
I print the 4th page, but it still prints in LANDSCAPE. Any idea
on how to change the orientation during the print process for just
that last page?
Please, any response any one can give me will be greatly
appreciated.
Sincerely,
Danielle Brina (an overworked graduate student)

From where are you calling this function? Based on the fact that you are returning DoPreparePrinting() I will say you are calling it from OnPreparePrinting(). According to this MSDN page[^] you should be setting the page orientation in OnPrepareDC.
In OnPrepareDC you would update your DEVMODE structure as you have done, then call CDC::ResetDC with the updated DEVMODE to change the orientation.
