The system will send you a WM_NCPAINT[^] message when the frame
needs to be repainted.
You can draw in the non-client areas of the window in response to
that message.

Thanks for your answer,
but i dont know how to override OnNcPaint() function
i found this piece of code on internet:
CWindowDC dc(this);
CRect rectClient;
GetClientRect( rectClient );
CRect rectWindow;
GetWindowRect( rectWindow );
ScreenToClient( rectWindow );
rectClient.OffsetRect( -rectWindow.left, -rectWindow.top );
dc.ExcludeClipRect( rectClient );
Do you think it would help?
( i want to get non_client window )
thanks for your attention

Since you're using MFC, you can add a message handler just like you
would for any other message. You can use the class wizard in visual studio
or type it in by hand...
//Add to message map for the window class
ON_WM_NCPAINT()
...
// add to your window class declaration
afx_msg void OnNcPaint();
...
// Add handler method
void CMyWnd::OnNcPaint()
{
// do your non-client painting here
}

you haven't told us what your problem is (apart from an inability to think clearly).

Ah, you're not the only one that replied. Having witnessed your exposed underbelly next to the tackle box I am deciding not to byte.

if you try that in the OnNcPaint, does that work ?

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!

hello;
how can I become a programmer ? how can I start?
please help me.

learn something different than VB 
|
|
|
|

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.
