BTW your article on NM_CUSTOMDRAW was probably the most useful article to me on CodeProject. I didnt know about NM_CUSTOMDRAW at all when your article was first posted.
It saved me a lot of bother at work. Our product needed editable list controls all over the place and at the time I was looking at writing an owner draw CListCtrl derived class from scratch to mimic something like the grid class which is here on codeproject. But simply rewriting all our list control code using the excellent but pretty heavyweight grid class was too much grunt work and I wasnt looking forward to writing an owner draw one either. But I was able to write a pretty lightweight editable CListCtrl using customdraw. It's almost as good as the grid class for our purposes with a lot less effort.

So I have this application that does some data manipulation within a worker thread, and during lengthy operations, I like to post messages and update the GUI accordingly. Currently I am using custom WM_USER messages and using SendMessage() to the main thread. As I understand, SendMessage will wait for the message handler to return before going on, whereas PostMessage keeps on going. Also, I hear WM_USER is kinda outdated... Anyway, what is the best method of posting messages to update a gui from a worker thread that will avoid deadlocks or any messy stuff??
Thanx again!

How can I obtain the current working directory of my application? Note: The application isn't installed nor does it keep any info in the registry. It also may or may not be called by another application (which alters the working directory somehow).
I ask because I have a data file I want to read in at runtime, and using ".\MyFile.dat" will work when I run the app within it's own directory, but when the other app calls it, ".\" is some other directory.
Thanks!

GetCurrentDirectory() gets the current directory ( I guess you've found that )
If you want to find the location from where the app is running (i.e. the location of the .exe), you can call GetModuleFileName(), and strip off the actual filename to leave the path.
Hope this helps!

Basically, when you insert an item into a tree, you do something along the lines of
HTREEITEM hMyItem = pMyTree->InsertItem(&lvTreeItem);
Is it ever possible that the value of hMyItem will change throughout the lifetime of the tree?
My reason for asking is that I have an object for each item in the tree, and I would like to maintain the handle within the object so that changes to it can be reflected easily in the tree (i.e. by changing the icon etc)
Thanks in advance!

As far as I know a handle to a tree item should be valid during whole lifetime of the tree. I can't guess any situation in which the handle could be changed - especially as you can use it on any time for further operations like deleting, ...

No, if that happened then HTREEITEMs would be useless.

Help req.
Does anyone have any examples or source code for GINA.DLL which works with Windows XP or Windows 2000. I need to replace the Microsft Windows Logon screen with a custom one.
I would be grateful for any help what so ever.

a) Platform SDK has a sample
b) try to think about another (better) solution, there are almost no reasons for replacing the logon screen.

But it is some sort of a "Holy Land" for all trojans
My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.
