1) use EnumWindows to enumerate all toplevel windows
2) for each window, check its class/caption.
3) if this is 3rd party dialog, you need to check if it's part of your application, or maybe another instance created this window
4) GetWindowThreadProcessId returns the process id given HWND. If your process id retrieved by GetCurrentProcessId is equal to HWND's process id, then this is your dialog.

Hi all,
I have a very general question about OpenGL. All the OpenGL examples that I have seen, which involves some rotation or transformation always take 100% of the CPU time! Is this because of the message pump or there is some other reason behind it? is it possible to circumvent this??
Thanks,
Pankaj

All opengl interative applications are trying to draw as many frames as possible. Taking up 100% CPU is quite normal for graphics intensive apps using either Opengl or DirectX.
If you're worried that some other apps or threads in the same Opengl app are not getting enough time slices insert a Sleep(0) after drawing doing a glSwapBuffer() call. This will give the rest of the time slice to any other thread which needs it.

Yes, just as what Briane has said, most of the OpenGL example is written for Win32, and the DrawGLWindow is called when there is no message waiting in the message queue. That's why it's taking up 100% CPU.
If you are developing a game, it's usual to have a Sleep(xxx) after the DrawGLWindow is called, so that you have a constant display update frequency.

How can I determine the horizontal/vertical spacing between characters?
The real deal is:
Is there some other GDI beside GetTextExtent() that can calculate text size? GetTextExtent() wont calculate the '\n' char...

DrawText with DT_CALCRECT will do. I'm assuming you want to get the height of multi-line text.

Does anybody know how?
I've looked in registry but not successful.
Do I need to use some network protocol (snmp, ..)?
Thanks,

If you're using W2000 or XP, you can use the DnsQuery API from the Platform SDK.
DNS_STATUS WINAPI DnsQuery (<br />
LPSTR lpstrName,<br />
WORD wType,<br />
DWORD fOptions,<br />
PIP4_ARRAY aipServers,<br />
PDNS_RECORD *ppQueryResultsSet,<br />
PVOID *pReserved <br />
);
Specify DNS_TYPE_WINS as wType. Never tried that but it should work  The ppQueryResultsSet contains DNS_WINS_DATA structures.

At last solution you could execute "ipconfig /all", catch the output and parse it. Of course, I also would prefer a nice API call, but if you fail to find something, this may be an easy and pragmatic solution.

Thanks, I've considered this solution.
But the problem is that I can't run ipconfig without opening its console window (or, if I can, how?).
This is real project for customer, not only for my home usage.

Hi,
I have a View which background colour is black, but when I use TextOut to display some texts on that view. There have a white box wrapped the text, So, I want to ask how to make the white box transparent/disappear. (i.e.It just display the text only.) Thx!!!

dc.SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);

you can use ExtTextOut with nOption=ETO_OPAQUE and SetBkColor(RGB(0, 0, 0)) before it

Hi,
I have a worker thread doing a lengthy operation during which it reads data using ReadFile. If I try to abort the operation and call AfxEndThread ReadFile tries to read data until the time limit is reached. Is it possible to stop ReadFile or is there a better way to wait for it to finish than Sleep? The problem with Sleep is that I can't set those time limits myself and I can't be sure how long they are.

Janetta,
I am a bit confused about the scenario you described. Your worker thread calls first ReadFile(), then AfxEndThread() but ReadFile() continues to execute 
Are we talking about one or two threads here? If we are talking about one thread, you are using overlapped IO. In this case you could cancle the IO with CancleIO().
If we are talking about two threads, you misunderstood the function of AfxEndhread(). It could be called only from inside the thread that wants to end and it is not possible to end a foreign thread this way. (Ending a foreign thread would be possible with TerminatThread(), however, using TerminateThread() is a big no-no!)
Or am I completly on the wrong path?

Actually the first option was what I thought I was doing...
I'm trying to make it possible to abort that lengthy operation. A message is posted to the worker thread and I thought that it would call a method of the worker thread that calls AfxEndThread. Posting the message succeedes, but the EndThread method is never called. Is this because the thread is busy performing that lengthy operation and when it is done, the thread is ended?
What would be a better way to do this?
-Janetta

Well, I desided to use TerminateThread, even though it is no-no. In this case it can't really make any damage.
