That blackbox is called console.

Well I wrote an example for you and then I lost the whole thing (Page cannot be displayed).

Well CG has done that for you...

The readme says: The first nibble for the BK color, and the second nibble for the foreground color.

Value F = Bright White.

But when I issue color FF, it resets to system color! D'Oh! | :doh:

Both BG and FG cannot be the same. Try FA or 2F and then FF. Nothing happens.

Use Color without any parameters to restore to default.

I'm after C++ examples of how to allow the user to record mouse and keyboard events inside an application. The recorded events can then be saved to a file so that they can be play-back at a later date. A macro facility in other words. Can anyone help me with this? I'm using Visual C++ 6. .

Thanks lots.

It's a long story. Take a look at WH_JOURNALRECORD and WH_JOURNALPLAYBACK. Kyle Marsh has written an interesting article on Hooks. Look up that in MSDN.

Well I am not sure about saving it to file! Unsure | :~

Thanks for your reply Nibu. I'm actually looking for events within my own application (very much like in MS Office apps). WH_JOURNALRECORD and WH_JOURNALPLAYBACK seem to record every event that happen within the system, and I dont know how to filter them out.

Maybe you can tweak them a bit to suit your needs.

Or try these functions to find out what's happening and log these into a file and later through code play them back...

I have a CFormView (IDC_FORM_VIEW) and I have a CStatic resource
which I call m_boundingFrame.

I have a screen full of information in a dialog resource (IDC_CONTENT1).
How can I make that dialog resource appear in the boundingFrame of
the CFormView?

I can do this if its a propertysheet and then put in propertypages,
but I just have a single dialog resource which I want to display
in that boundingFrame. Im stumped on getting it to actually work.

My code for the propertysheet is below, but I cant figure out to
modify that code to work with the dialog resource that I have.

CWnd* pwndPropSheetHolder = GetDlgItem(IDC_PLACEHOLDER);
m_pPropertySheet = new CView10PropertySheet(pwndPropSheetHolder);
if (!m_pPropertySheet->Create(pwndPropSheetHolder, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 0))
{
delete m_pPropertySheet;
m_pPropertySheet = NULL;
return;
}

// fit the property sheet into the place holder window, and show it
CRect rectPropSheet;
pwndPropSheetHolder->GetWindowRect(rectPropSheet);
m_pPropertySheet->SetWindowPos(NULL, 0, 0,
rectPropSheet.Width(), rectPropSheet.Height(),
SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOACTIVATE);

Please, any response any one can give me will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Danielle Brina (an overworked graduate student)
