Does anyone know of any links to good tutorials on making ActiveX controls using MFC in VS 2005?

I got this from a Google search using your question header

already saw that tutorial, but it looks like it's from VC6. Stuff seems to be a lot different in VS2005.

Hi,

I want All the files / Directories to be locked

What do you mean by "locked?" You can open a file exclusively that would prevent others from opening it. Or you could change the permissions of the file/folder such that only certain users/groups can access it.

Ok,I will be in brief..
If a user tries to access a file in windows A request is sent to the Server machine and a messagebox pops up indicating the a user is trying to access a file in the client....The admin in the server allows or denies access to a file ..Suppose if the admin denies access a control message is sent to the client..And The user gets a message that "The File cannot be viewed B'coz you are denied access" and if he permits the file Opens in the Client Machine.
I have a service running in the Client and another in the Server ...

I have an application that uses two monitors, either side-by-side, or one over top of the other. Right now, my AfxMessageBox appears in each half of the two screens --- not very clean to the user. Is there a way to move the message box to a new x/y location or would it be simpler to create a new dialog of my own and reposition that one to where I'd like it to go?
Many thanks to all of you who answer these questions. You are a tremendous repository of knowledge for those of us less skilled.

Since MoveWindow requires a handle to the window and the AfxMessageBox is esstentially a modal dialog, I do not think that you are able to move the messagebox. So, AFAIK the easiest thing to do would be to create your own dialog and do whatever you want with it.

I believe you are correct. I searched throught the MFC documentation and saw NOTHING on moving the AfxMessageBox or the MessageBox. But then, MS doesn't always document EVERYTHING you need to know 
Thanks for your help

I worked in an operation that used 2-3 video cards and the software that came with the cards that integrates with the video options had configuration options to make popups appear in various locations to prevent it from popping up cut in 2 pieces like on a 2 monitor system.
Does your card's software have these settings?

Good question --- now if only I could find the ICD!
Not much documentation around on this one.
Thanks for the tip, though.

A disparate way is :
first create a thread then call AfxMessageBox and in thread proc get handle of active window then move it.

Indeed. A real desperate way...

Hi all,
Being new to this, I have a very dumb question.
When calling a function that requires a list of options or flags, what do you pass if you don't want to use any of them?
For example:
FindText(FR_DOWN | FR_MATCHCASE, other arg here);
I don't want to use either of those flags, but passing 0, FALSE or NULL doesn't seem to work!
Thanks, and remember you were a newbie once too

what happens if you don't pass anything - don't even use the comma ?

That all depends on what the function is expecting.

It all depends on what the person who wrote the function expected. By convention, the function SHOULD work with 0 as the parameter. However, some people force a non-zero answer by requiring you to send a default flag value in. If it is a library function (e.g. in MFC) look at the documentation and see what it expects. If you have the source for the function, look at what the function is doing and determine what value you should send.

No problem ... but when I was a newbie, 99.999% of "simple" questions would receive the answer of "RTFM!"

Luxury.
When I was a newbie, they hadn't written the manual yet.

Same here. Usually that just mean they expected you to read the entire bookshelf at B&N before asking a question. Which, looking back on it, wouldn't be a bad thing to recommend to some people.

Why FALSE or NULL doesn't seem to work

I have an error message that says..
"Unhandled exception at 0x77fcc024 in MyApp.exe: 0x0000005: Access violation writing location 0x000000"
This error only happens in release. Can i use the location 0x77fcc024 to somehow find out where this is crashing. When i look at the call stack i get the general area, but cannot zone in on it.
Thanks,

If you only see it in the Release build, and don't see any memory violation warnings in the Debug Console for Debug builds, then your options are limited. First, check your project settings (specifically with regard to stack size) to make sure they are the same for both builds. Then, if you can narrow down the problem to a specific class or function, try to comment out then entire area and then slowly uncomment it to see when you see the problem.
Another option is also to put an __asm { int 3 }; line in the area you see this exception to spawn the debugger (you will want to compile your Release build with debug symbols unless you really want to debug assembly code though).
