Are you talking about the way Windows XP hides the underline until you press Alt?

If you are, this is a setting that you can change in the Display Properties (Control Panel -> Display or right-click on the desktop).

There you go to "Appearance", click on "Effects" and unselect the "Hide underlined letters for keyboard navigation until I press the Alt key".

I don't know how to change this from inside a program, but as it is a user's setting, you better keep it as the user choosed it to be.

The feature is not exclusive to Windows XP.

Check out the NoChangeKeyboardNavigationIndicators value in the following two registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

I didn't know... D'Oh! | :doh:

I still work with 2k but never noticed that "feature"... Blush | :O

Anyway, thanks for the info about the registry. Smile | :)

(although I still think that it is something not to be messed with, as it is an user setting) Unsure | :~

Help in MFC intercept TCP Calls

If you want to change it from inside a program, probably the best way to do it is like so:

BOOL a_bSet = TRUE;
SystemParametersInfo( SPI_SETKEYBOARDCUES, 0, (PVOID)&a_bSet, SPIF_SENDCHANGE );

Hi I want to manipulate the MFC classes to intercept TCP calls from normal applications like Internet Explorer or WS_FTP to 'connect' using the connect function in my socks client instead of the normal TCP call.
However, I am not sure what to use to implement this.
Can anyone tell me how to use MFC classes to do that?

Thanx!

or if ur really doing it for legit reasons then go read about the osi model for tcp/ip stacks

Could someone please take the time and explain how to add tooltips to an existing mfc application?
I have an edit box that I would like to add tool tips to so the user knows exactly what needs to be input. I read something on msdn about it but for me msdn is not clear.
thanks for your help.

Presumably in response to an event like a click, you can call these to work out where the user is?

In MFC...

CWinApp::LoadIcon 
HICON LoadIcon( LPCTSTR lpszResourceName ) const;

HICON LoadIcon( UINT nIDResource ) const;

In Win32:

The LoadImage function loads an icon, cursor, animated cursor, or bitmap.

HANDLE LoadImage(
  HINSTANCE hinst,   // handle to instance
  LPCTSTR lpszName,  // image to load
  UINT uType,        // image type
  int cxDesired,     // desired width
  int cyDesired,     // desired height
  UINT fuLoad        // load options
);
