I agree with David's suggestion. Passing C++ as a "optional" parameter yeilds undefined behaviour. With CStrings, you can do this, and I bet Microsoft engineers did some tweaking to make that work. I don't know about std::string, but chances are that they are not crafted in such a way that they will work with printf()-like functions...

Yes I agree with you, but what exactly I'm supposed to do now.
Please tell me if you are having some other alternatives or proper approach to tackle this. If possible with a sample piece of code.
(I'm getting error in "fprintf" part of file operation though "fopen" is working properly)
Thanks,
Arun

overide the WM_CTLCOLOR message and put the following code inside it
if( nCtlColor == CTLCOLOR_STATIC)
{
pDC->SetBkMode( TRANSPARENT );
}
this make the text backGround transparent.
To change the color use pDC->SetBkColor( RGB(0,255,0)); instead of SetBkMode

Groupbox is not a static control but a button control with style BS_GROUPBOX.

It's the button style, but its CTLCOLOR classification is CTLCOLOR_STATIC not CTLCOLOR_BTN
It seems that what naveen said was correct.

I want to develop an MFC application that has
1. Either a control bar or dialog bar which has some button objects
2. The bar needs to be always accessible. That means I want to be able to click on the buttons on the bar even if a modal dialog showing.
One way I thought of to put the dialog bar in its user thread, but this is almost impossible as it dialog bar needs to send a message to the main windows. Another way was not to show modal dialogs, but this would complicate the design as to manage the number of different dialogs to be displayed.
Any thought as to how to put a controls bar/dialog bar/or even a child windows on its own thread that can always listen to user actions? A pointer to an article or sample code would be great.
Thanks,

I didn't get the exact situation over there. I will put my suggestions.
If you want to keep the UI alive, It is best to keep it in a separate UI thread and keep posting messages. There is always a defenite way to do that.
Also the use of Modal dialog demands the user to deal with the dialog ,and with nothing else when it is shown. You still have chances of improvement over here.

Thanks Sher,
The whole UI doesn't need to be alive, but a portion of it needs to be alive all the time. Think it this way, I want my toolbars to be alive all the time.
I started looking into creating my toolbar as a CDialogBar item which will run in it's own CWinThread. I though this will isolate it from the whole UI message loop. Since the CDialogBar object is created inside the CFrameWnd object, whenever the main UI is blocked, so does goes the second CWinThread which has my CDialogBar object.
I could create my CDialogBar as a child of the Desk top, which solves the blocking issue, but it lives outside the main UI frame, which does not meet my requirement.
Any idea as to how I might be able to solve this?

DoModal will block its parent by PreModalDialog API and releases using PostModalDialog
Have you tried modeless dailogs?

Yes I thought of modeless dialogs. But there is AfxMessageBox() which acts as modal dialog.
I though overriding PreModalDialog(), DoModal() to prevent the main UI from being blocked. it turns out, I will need to handle more cases, and alost have my own CDialog code.
Hmm, I guess I might be trying to do the impossible?

I'm studying and coding in MFC about Text To Speech in Microsoft Word. I need to find Materials of Text To Speech to present what I'm studing. What page or what material can I find ?
Thanks.

Use Microsoft speech API in MSDN
Also You can find materials at IBM(IBM's Speech APIs and ViaVoice Documentation).

I codding Signal Strength and no error , run but discontinue.
Why discontinue program. Please Signal Strength program.~~

IEnumWbemClassObject * pEnumerator = NULL;
HRESULT hres = pSvc->ExecQuery(bstr_t("WQL"), bstr_t("SELECT * FROM MSNdis_80211_ReceivedSignalStrength Where active=true"),

ULONG uReturn = 0;
while (pEnumerator)
{
HRESULT hr = pEnumerator->Next(WBEM_INFINITE, 1, &pclsObj,
&uReturn); //WBEM_INFINITE
if(0 == uReturn)
{
//cout << "Need to BREAK!" << endl;
break;
}
VARIANT vtProp;
VariantInit(&vtProp);
// Get the value of the Name property

Hey Guys,
Using the Win32 API, how do I change the text and color in a button once it is clicked? I have tried looking on MSDN and on google, but the process appears to be more complicated than I believe it seems.
I can change the text using SetDlgItemTxt but when using SetTextColor it does not change the color of the text (my guess is that the button is not being redrawn with the new COLORREF parameter).
All I picked up from MSDN is that I have to create a new brush, destroy the dialog control, re-create it with the new text in a different color and then destroy the brush. I dont think its that complicated and hopefully someone can steer me on the right path.
Thanks,
Robbie

Google and MSDN eh???
Did you look here: http://www.codeproject.com/buttonctrl/[^]
I'm almost 110% postive you'll find a custom control or article which explains just what you want 
Cheers
