How many new threads do you need to create?

Ok, you obviously want to use your own icon, but you haven't actually made an icon yet.

Here's what to do:

* Right click on your resources in the resources view and select "Add resource..."
* Select "Icon" from the list, and click the "New" button
* This will take you to the icon editor, with a default 32x32 16 colour blank icon created for you. Draw in here, or paste in an image from Paintbrush, or anywhere else you can find an image
* You'll probably want other sizes - from the Image menu select "new image type" and you can add a 16x16 small icon (for the titlebar / taskbar) or 256 colour icons (which look nicer if you're pasting in an existing image), or larger icons (if you want it to look nice in XP)

Search the internet for a software called "Iconcool editor", it is my prefered choice. This software allows you to create multi sized icons, and is very easy to use. Just create your icon and import it into your resources.

use the icon editor into Visual C++ ...

also, stop reposting the same thing again and again. if you have new questions related to the same topic, stay on the same thread.

How to do Timers in MFC

Hi guys,

I really really need your help. I have been tinkering with the CWnd timer functions for days now and I really could not understand its concept. I tried doing a "timer-like" simulation using a simple dialog box with just a number that increments. Sounds really lousy but I really just want to do that with the CWnd::SetTimer and CWnd::OnTimer. I just want to see how it works, what executes when I set a timer duration of 1 second. What goes to where.

I'd really really appreciate it if you could help me with some explanations, or better yet, a simple code with that dialog box timer i could not complete. Blush | :O

Trace into the MFC source code for CWnd::SetTimer.

Timer uses hardware interupts.

why do you need to know how it is implemented ? why not simply use it ??

Hi,
I have an activeX created with VC++ ,i use it in my C++Builder 6 project and use OLE object to open Excel application in my project.
I receive an error when uncheck "build with runtime packages"
in project->options->packages.Otherwise if i check it or don't use ActiveX the application is working properly.
Following is my code to opening excel application.

-----------------------------------------------
Variant Excel=CreateOleObject("Excel.Application");
Excel.OlePropertySet("Visible", true);
Variant Workbook=Excel.OlePropertyGet("Workbooks");
Workbook.OleProcedure("Add");
Variant sheet = Workbook.OlePropertyGet("Item", 1).OlePropertyGet("Worksheets") ;
sheet = sheet.OlePropertyGet("Item",1);
sheet.OlePropertySet("Name", WideString("TEST"));
----------------------------------------------
I test this ActiveX in Delphi at same conditions but it has no errors.Also i test other ActiveXs created in VC++ in my project and i receive similar errors.

Did you declare GetCfgParaMod in CConfigModView's class definition (in the header file)?

Did you see msdn for this error?
From the MSDN:

Possible causes

Wrong parameters passed to function.
Parameters passed in wrong order.
Incorrect spelling of parameter names.

I'm guessing this was supposed to be a reply to your earlier thread.

In the Add Resource dialog, you just click the "import..." button, then in the "files of type" dropdown select "Icon Files"

Creating Windows

HakunaMatada3-Sep-06 22:34

3-Sep-06 22:34

I have an application which has two Windows. Now, the Second Window is created on a separate thread. The class for the second Window has a function called CreateEdit() which creates an Edit control. This edit control has to be created on the fly and hence cannot be created in OnCreate(). Now when I create an Edit control in OnCreate() the Edit control is created fine and on the same thread as the Second Window, but when I create the Edit control dynamically through the functions, the Edit control is created on the thread of the First Window. Please note that the First Window makes a call to CreateEdit() to create an Edit control dynamically in the second Window. I use function pointers to make a call to CreateEdit() from the first Window. Is there anyway, I can make sure that the Edit on the secodn window is created on the same thread as the Second Window?

Windows are created in whichever thread calls CreateWindow. It's strongly recommended that this is the same thread that the parent window is on, but I don't think this is actually required.
