OK I've been modding my windows desktop lately, and I've added these two apps to my startup:
allSnap (www.allsnap.org): causes windows to snap to eachother and to desktop edges by their borders when moving them around
taekwindow(http://taekwindow.sf.net): lets you drag any window around by holding your ALT key and left clicking on the window (anywhere, client area, titlebar, whatever), it also lets you resize with right mouse button. Some nix users will love this functionality.
The problem is taekwindow uses SetWindowPos() / WM_MOVE for every pixel that the window is moved. allSnap however uses a windows hook that monitors an unknown system message (WM_MOVING and WM_SIZING mabye?) and then does its magic.
I tried to simulate a titlebar click and moving messages in taekwindow (the source is available) to get it to trigger allSnap but to no avail, so I thought I would post the idea here in hopes that someone else would be interested in this and able to further the cause.
Thanks!

Real programmers can handle VB without too demage.

Real programmers even write FORTRAN-programs in VB 
Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable, let's prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Or even a programmer can write a program on the Autoexec.Bat

My (probably incomplete) suggestions:
Do you have a rough idea about your programming area and ambitions? It can help you choosing the first programming language to learn, then:
Read good books.
Read good tutorials and code samples.
Start coding very simple projects.

And for start which language? VB,C++,F#,C#,... (of course remember that you are here on the VC++ forum  ).
|
|
|
|

The only language the real programmer should start from is, of course, C, then after several years spent mastering it, he can pass to C++, finally, after several years spent mastering C++ and OOP (and casually exploiting, on exotic evenings, some C#), the real programmer, by nature, will return to pure C programming.

And after these years programmer will be understand s(he) cant use of it because its old,and s(he) needs to start to learn new language.

Nope. C ages well, like good red wine.
The man will become older, stuck to the C language, while the woman, smarter, will became his boss and will have no more to do with programming languages.

If you know WHAT a programmer does, then the HOW is easily answered.

I'm new to Visual C++ and am creating a windows form application.
I was wondering if it was possible to link a console application which is written in C but stored in C++ files to a windows form?
So for example if I clicked a button in the Windows Form application then this would run the console application?

Can you be more specific.

Answered in your repost. Which I should not have done. You did the right thing by modifying this question.

For a long time I made Windows programs using a Borland C++ 4.5 compiler winning under Windows 98. To make or remove check marks on menu choices I used this macro:
#define OPTION(x,y) case x: y=1-y; CheckMenuItem (mainmenu, x, MF_BYCOMMAND | (y ? MF_CHECKED : MF_UNCHECKED)); goto RD;
where:
x is a menu option.
y is a variable.
RD is a label where are statements to redraw the screen.
in a program called Listitem, and it worked, and the check marks duly appeared and disappeared. But when compiled on my new Windows Vista computer using Visual C++ 2008 free download version, it does not work, and the check marks do not appear. But the check marks do appear when I run on my new computer my program Listitem's old .exe file which was compiled on my old computer.
I tried using SetMenuItemInfo() instead, as recommended in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms647619.aspx[^], and still the check marks did not appear.
Please what must I do to make the check marks appear?
