Your best bet is to move to using GDI+, which allows you to specify a transpareny color, and also a level of opacity.
This sort of stuff is a nightmare in GDI. I'd tend to do it by writing my own alphablend that allows me to specify a mask color, and just skip those bits.

Hello,
I am looking for a callback function or event (I prefere a callback function) that is called or signaled in case your surface is lost and you are able to restore it. In case of a change of display mode this can easily be done with the message WM_DISPLAYCHANGE. But in case the user presses for example crtl+alt+del (An other application gets exclusive acces to the hardware) then this event is not given.
Thanks

Hi,
I am using Visual C++ 2005 (no managed C++). Basically, I have a local folder:
c:\local\data
and a remote folder:
\\remote\data
and I want to copy the directories, subdirectories, and the files in them from
c:\local\data
to
\\remote\data
without writing over any existing files. Likewise, I want to then copy the directories, subdirectories, and the files in them from
\\remote\data
to
c:\local\data
without writing over any existing files.
NOTE: The arbitrary remote folder may be defined already as a const char *, but it may not exist yet. The arbitrary local folder, however, would be. All strings come through as const char *'s.
What is the easiest solution without using managed C++?
Thanks!

Have you looked at SHFileOperation()?

Yeah, unfortunately, I can't seen to get it to work. Multiple and various error codes (obviously). I've tried hard coding the \\'s into the path and it still didn't work, althuogh the string looked fine when debugging on breakpoints.
Perhaps I'm just not doing something right with that, but I have copied code that I have found on the 'net and slightly modified it to handle my specific strings.

I wonder why someone voted you down. 
Just a thought: Could it be that you are doing the "standard" mistake when it comes to the backslash character in paths?
Do you have "\\\\remote\\data" in your source code?

Can you turn your monitor a little to the left? I'm having a hard time seeing those error messages.

Can a prgram (in VC6) determine if the current user is member of the Administrators Group?

I.ve used the example shown on the mentioned link, but, trying to use CheckTokenMembership() it didn't work: in VC6 it isn't recognized!
Why?
Anyway, thanks again!

Nah. Only the ones that give me gems like that! Wait...I say what... 
I have to remember when a question like "How to intercept the little X on a CDialogBar?" comes up,
to first look for the InterceptTheLittleXOnCDialogBar() API

IsUserAnAdmin() isn't recognized by my VC6.
Why?

Make sure you have included shlobj.h (the required include is listed at the bottom of the manual page).
If that doesn't work, you're hitting the problem that you're using an incredibly old product and its include files don't contain APIs that were new for Win200. To get the right includes, you'll need to download the latest SDK and use it.

Hey, guys.
I looked at the Vista area but it seems to be more usage of the OS and this is a programming question.
If such a thing exists, could someone please point me to the documentation on where the "right" place is to store local app and user data in Vista? I want to avoid Will Robinson UAC messages, and I also want to follow best practices guidelines, i.e. is it preferred to store in the registry, in the \documents and settings path, or perhaps somewhere else.
Anyway, I'm sure this is documented somehere, I just can't seem to locate it. Anyone know where this info can be found?
Thanks!

For XP, this info is described in detail in the
Designed for Windows XP Application Specification 2.3 Document[^]
section 3.1 I believe.
I'm trying to find the newer document for Vista Logo but currently my search is...well...failing.
I'm probably spelling something wrong. How do you spell Vista?
Anyway, it should be in the Vista Logo requirements document if you can find it.
