I was hoping there was an easier way. Thanks for your help

A Quick one:
Given a path such as this: "%ProgramFiles%\Windows NT\Accessories\WORDPAD.EXE"
is there a ready made function to replace %ProgramFiles% with the relevant directory? and the same for all the other %...% tags frequently found.
Thanks in advance
Sorry to dissapoint you all with my lack of a witty or poignant signature.

If you want to replace text between %s with corresponding environment variable, use ExpandEnvironmentStrings. On my W2K machine there's a variable named ProgramFiles, not sure about other Windows versions. If the string containing %s comes from the OS, then there's probably such a variable.

It does indeed come from the OS. That function is exactly what i'm looking for. Thanks Tomasz!
This is a fine example of the irritation of learning to program in windows... You get stuck for something that you know is there, but no matter how hard you look, you can't find it in MSDN. Still, soon I'll know everything!!!!

I need to send the message WM_MOUSEMOVE (or possibly other messages?) to a certain window to make it appear i am moving the mouse. How do i do this? Do i have to get the handle to that window first and then use SendMessage() ? if so, how do i get the handle? Any help is welcome.
Thanks

Is there maybe a way to actually make the mouse move over the screen?

SendInput on Win98/NT4SP3 or later. On Win95 you'll have to use mouse_event.

Hi,
I am having problems scrolling a particularly large view.
At the moment I set up a memory device context with the dimensions of the screen.
I perform all my drawing to the memory device context. I then handle the scrolling and in OnDraw I bitblt the memory device context to the screen using the scroll offset.
I only need to scroll Vertically and this gives smooth scrolling but a problem occurrs when the drawing required by the view is to big for the Memory devicwe context. I dont want to increase the size of the Memory DC because the drawing for the view can be anything up to 10 times the size of the screen.
So far I have tried to offset the entire Mem DC and redraw the required section of the view as the srolling passes the point the Mem DC ends. This is no way seamless and looks quite jumpy in places.
CAN ANYONE SUGGEST A SOLUTION OR EVEN POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION??? ???

You shouldn't set the size of a bitmap selected into memory DC to the size of the screen - instead, use GetClipBox function which gives you the area that actually needs to be repainted (which is never greater than the size of the screen, at least with single-monitor system).
There was good article about that in June 1997 issue of MSJ - "Wicked Code" by Jeff Prosise. It should be in the 'Periodicals' section of your VC++ help; if it's not here, go to MSDN Online, then MSDN Magazine and search for past issues.

I create custom draw text in ClistCtrl. But i get problems because
the item's i selected were not highlighted. Do anybody know how i can do
this?
Please help!
Here is the code i wrote:
void CMyList::OnCustomdrawList ( NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult )
{
NMLVCUSTOMDRAW* pLVCD = reinterpret_cast<nmlvcustomdraw*>( pNMHDR );
*pResult = 0;
CDC *pDC= CDC::FromHandle(pLVCD->nmcd.hdc);
CRect rect;
switch(pLVCD->nmcd.dwDrawStage)
{
case CDDS_PREPAINT:
*pResult = CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW;
break;
case CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT:
int iRow = pLVCD->nmcd.dwItemSpec;
CString sItem = GetItemText(iRow, 0);
CString sNo = sItem.SpanIncluding("1234567890");
CString sLetter= sItem.Right(4);
GetItemRect(iRow, rect, LVIR_LABEL);
pDC->SetTextAlign ( TA_RIGHT | TA_TOP | TA_UPDATECP );
pDC->MoveTo ( rect.right , rect.top );
if ( sLetter.Find("B") != -1 )
{
pDC->SetTextColor ( RGB(255,0,0) );
pDC->TextOut ( 0, 0, sLetter );
}
else if ( sLetter.Find("E") != -1 )
{
pDC->SetTextColor ( RGB(0,0,255) );
pDC->TextOut ( 0, 0, sLetter );
}
else if ( sLetter.Find("V") != -1 )
{
pDC->SetTextColor ( RGB(0,170,0) );
pDC->TextOut ( 0, 0, sLetter );
}
else if ( sLetter.Find("U") != -1 )
{
pDC->SetTextColor ( RGB(255,0,255) );
pDC->TextOut ( 0, 0, sLetter );
}
else if ( sLetter.Find("AR") != -1 )
{
pDC->SetTextColor ( RGB(0,255,255) );
pDC->TextOut ( 0, 0, sLetter );
}
pDC->SetTextColor ( RGB(0,0,0) );
pDC->TextOut ( 0, 0, sNo );
*pResult= CDRF_SKIPDEFAULT;
break;
default:
*pResult = CDRF_DODEFAULT;
break;
}
}

You're returning CDRF_SKIPDEFAULT from CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT, and this means that list control doesn't draw items. You have to check the item state with GetItemState and draw the item in appropriate color/font if it's selected.

How do you set a window's font using Win32 (NOT MFC!!!)?
I have been trying to use the WM_SETFONT message but it doesn't seem to work...
Thanks,

by window's font do you mean the font on the title bar? or do you mean the font of all the controls on that window? I am not sure you can use WM_SETFONT to change the font of the title bar unless you do some painting on your own...
for the individual controls you can use WM_SETFONT

Could you post an example, I've been unable to get it to work.

I tried it out and it worked fine
medit is a global HWND
medit=CreateWindow("EDIT","",WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD|WS_BORDER,10,10,300,30,hWnd,NULL,
hInstance,NULL);
HFONT hfont;
hfont=CreateFont(25,12,0,0,700,TRUE,0,0,DEFAULT_CHARSET,
OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS,CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS,DEFAULT_QUALITY,DEFAULT_PITCH,
"Times New Roman");
SendMessage(medit,WM_SETFONT,(WPARAM)hfont,0);

Are you sure that lifetime of HFONT is long enough? You can't just pass a HFONT to a Window with WM_SETFONT and destroy the font - the window doesn't copy the font.
The second thing is that not all Windows support this message. Standard controls do, but your own Window classes do not unless you explicitly handle this message.

the HFONT is only a handle to the font
the HFONT variable need not last the life time of the control
once you send the WM_SETFONT message to the font then you can forget your HFONT variable
even if the HFONT variable is destroyed the font is not destroyed
for that, you may use DeleteObject
Nish

Sorry, you're wrong. HFONT needs to last as long as the window which uses it. If you destroy the HFONT with DeleteObject, the window painting will fail (SelectObject somewhere inside WM_PAINT handler will not work and subsequent calls to TextOut or DrawText will use default font).
