Roger, believe me or not, your post actually helped me, so it wasn't a complete loss of a post.
First of all, thanks to Roger and toxxct for your posts.
So this is my fix:
I did a compare in the sdk between v5 and v6 in the include folder and looked at winnt.h
Where the stdcall_api was mentioned in v6, i changed it back to v5 which strange enough was __stdcall.
I have no clue as to how that was changed in there (i mean __stdcall being replaced bye stdcall_api) but this fixed it.
They should have a #ifdef NEWBIE_IN_C {code for restricting access to this super sensitive keywords} #endif.

I'm glad that it helped you in some strange way.
However, right now I feel like I'm standing in the town square with my pants down... 
Like Al Pacino says in the movie "Donnie Brasco": forget about it.....

Hi,
I am using GetFileSize() to get the Hard Drive Size but this function is getting fail. Code is here:
DWORD dwFileSizeHigh=NULL;
DWORD dwFileSizelow=NULL ;
dwFileSizelow = GetFileSize(m_hFile,&dwFileSizeHigh);
And what is the use of High and Low DWORD. I try to get the information from MSDN but could not understand.

What is the last error code? Add @err,hr to watch window. You could see the last error description. Your code seems fine. May be something wrong with your file handle. Anyway check the last error description.

The GetFileSize() api returns the total file size as 8 bytes that's by using two DWORDS. The dwFileSizeHigh stands for the low order 4 bytes and dwFileSizeHigh stands for high order 4 bytes. For getting the real file size, you should read them together.
Regards,
Jijo.

To get this you should use GetDiskFreeSpaceEx().
You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.

How does getting the size of a file give you the hard drive size?
Or did you mean the size of the file on the harddrive?

Come on, Mark. If you fill the HD completely up with files, and then add all their sizes up, that will tell you the HD's size.
You need to start thinking outside of the box else a "fish filet" will soon be on your resume.

Hello everyone,
I have searched for RTTI tutorials for 15 minutes, but find none. I want to see in depth how RTTI is implemented, for VC environment. All I found is either forum discussion without any definite result or any non-free web sites.
Could anyone suggest any free online tutorial for this topic please?
thanks in advance,
George

Why would there be tutorials on how something is implemented in Visual C?
How about researching it yourself and writing an article on it here to
share your knowledge with the rest of us?

Hi Mark,
"Why would there be tutorials on how something is implemented in Visual C?" -- why not?

Are you searching something like this [^]?

That's not fair Pallini. George was limited to searching under his bed while you searched the internet!
And please don't tell us you cheated and used Google!   You are supposed to go site by site, page by page!

Hi led mike,
I am also using Google. But top pages are all paid forums or consulting groups.

But formal Microsoft document would be better than reversing engineering ones.

Definitely. Anyway Microsoft, you know, gives sparingly implementation details...

I sometimes notice some guys disclose something on their blog -- MSDN blog.
But for RTTI I find nothing.

Wow 15 minutes! I suppose you want a medal? 
I spent several hours over several days looking for one specific thing just this week.

Hi,
I have an MFC dialog that I have changed as follows:
- no title bar
- no system menu
- no border
- OnCtlColor produces a white background
The dialog is a notification dialog box that appears in the lower-right corner of the user's screen. I want to have a light blue border 1-3 pixels wide surrounding this window (on the interior edge is fine). How can I create this programatically? I don't use drawing/color functions much...
Thanks In Advance

Override OnPaint() and draw lines.
