    Does anyone know how to store a font file (say a .ttf file) as a resource and then use it in the software without installing the font on the user's system? For example, Windows Font Viewer reads and uses uninstalled fonts when one double-clicks on a .TTF file. Once I know how to do that, I can...

    Why old style title bar in Windows XP?

    Create Maximized modal dialog

    Anyone knows how to create a modal dialog which is initially maximized? The only help I found in MSDN is to overwrite the PreCreateWindow function, but it does not seem to ever be called (a breakpoint there never pauses execution). Thanks, Vincent

    Hi, I have multiple instances of a class which has a function with static variables. Example: class CMyClass{ int myMethod(); ... }; int CMyClass::myMethod() { static int i = 0; ... return i++; }; My problem: I would like to have the different instances of MyClass to not interfere with...

    rand() limitations?

    Hi, Does any of you know how many different sequences one can get by changing the seed of rand(). Since srand takes an unsigned int as its argument, I guess this means only 65000 sequences... does anyone know of an algorithm which can generate more sequences? (Say of the order of a...
