SetBkColor is used to set the color behind characters that you paint with functions such as TextOut. You need to create a brush with the color of your choosing and paint the view in OnEraseBkgrnd with something like FillRect. Hope this helps [dazed]

Hi Cyprus106, Baggiowen did not ask for a routine to validate the password, just to enter it with asterisks to display in place of the characters typed, which I have already answered! [mad]

I have a popup menu that works. It looks like bunny's example. But my popup menu was created with m_fractMenu.CreatePopupMenu(); Maybe your menu is not a popup menu and that is the problem?! [dazed]

Hi, If you were writing a windows program, than the CEdit control has an edit style called ES_PASSWORD that automatically handles the password protection for you. Otherwise, I believe that you have to do it yourself. You could read chars without echo (using _getch), and echo an asterisk with...

MSDN shows that the GetVersionEx function really takes an OSVERSIONINFO structure, not an OSVERSIONINFOEX structure. VerifyVersionInfo does take the OSVERSIONINFOEX structure, however. Did you look at MSDN's sample : "getting the system version"? Steve [dazed]

Hi Matt, Have you seen ON_WM_DEVMODECHANGE and ON_WM_DISPLAYCHANGE? Although ON_WM_DISPLAYCHANGE is nowhere to be found in the Microsoft documentation, the dev mode change handler that you would write does get control when you change the screen resolution in the control panel, because all top...

Hi, You could create a font with CreateFont, using the GREEK_CHARSET, and then use SetFont. For example, to display the ohm symbol in an edit control in a dialog: m_pFont = new CFont; m_pFont->CreateFont(15, 7, 0, 0, 400, FALSE, FALSE, 0, GREEK_CHARSET...

No. You would get an invalid allocation size debug error message if the argument was negative. [evil]

Hi, Could you show us what is between the new and delete in your code? There is nothing wrong with the new and delete statements. Also, what was the value of m_dlgAsset when the debug error occurred? Steve

Hi, When you pass by reference, the compiler generated code is really passing the address of the variable, and automatically dereferencing the pointers for you. However, if you want an example of explicitly passing addresses, just change the function declaration in my example to void...

Hi, Can you show us what your OnButton function looks like? Steve [ponder]

Did you see my solution in the Microsoft C++ forum? Steve [dazed]

Hi, The function declaration would be void Money(double nDollarValue, int& nQuarters, int& Dimes, int& Nickels, int& Pennies); The function definition would be written as // Simple straightforward solution void Money(double nDollarValue, int& nQuarters, int& nDimes, int& nNickels, int&...

OK. Here's an example of how you could do it programatically: // The following code snippet sets the file program // that is associated with the cnf extension to WORDPAD char szProductType[80]; DWORD dwBufLen; HKEY hTestKey = NULL; LONG lResult = ::RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER...

You could set the program that is associated with a particular file extension in the folder options menu item of the windows explorer, if that is what you mean. srfink
