thanks CornedBee

CornedBee, i have to compare GetWindowTextLength to old_size right?

thats actually quite ingenious..thanks CornedBee

ok..i am gonna do it that way then..thanks a lot

might sound stupid, but i am having problems writing a function that will change the text of a window, and return the previous text..the function is a member of my window class..so i know the handle...

i just need a yes or no.. :)
thanks

cool thanks parksie

could anybody please give me there advice?
thanks

in my wrapper class for window creation, i was wondering if i needed to have members to store the icon handle, the cursor handle, or the text, since i can retrieve and change the values using the API...

are child windows created the same way as top windows? i mean, when a button is created, is there a WM_NCCREATE msg passed to the procedure of the button, followed by WM_CREATE...?
thanks

i am using a message map for message handling in my win32 window wrapper. i found a reference on the net, and one line has this:



typedef tyMessageMap::iterator tyMessageIterator;


further...

if you have an iterator, what would this do


return iterator->second


i looked at the STL doc, but its not very clear
thanks

ok, thanks guys..i ahve another question that doesn't really belong to this thread..if i wanted to write an application with lots of controls without using MFC, so just API, would i just do...

So many API functions use types like LPSTR, or LPCSTR. Shuld I use them in my own functions? or should i just use the char* type?
thanks in advance

thanks..but i cant see it

i need a new hard drive..the store where i am gonna go buy it has some for ATA100 and ATA133. how do i know which one to get? i dont think i have my doc anymore.
thanks

i am defining a list of flags..how would i have a check the version of windows to know if it is necessaray to define the flags?


#if WindowVersion >= win2000
#define X_TRANSPARENT
#endif

you...

;)

one of the optin mentions '64-bit portability issues'
i removed it , and the warnings disapeared

no, i got no errors this time..how come?

i get exactly the same errors as with the other program

i have found that i could change the color, size and font of an item, but i didn't find anywhere how i could change the window of the menu

any ideas or tips?

ok ok..that's right... :)

i looked in windef.h but its not in there..i then saw that windef includes winnt.h (because i am on winxp?), and it was in there...



typedef long LONG;

hmm..ok CornedBee :)

i think it would be nice to just call a function like AttachMsg (MESSAGE) to subclass this message....

yea i do know, i just thought it would be easier to have a dll keep track of the things that i subclassed, rather than having a Get/SetWindowLong all over... i just liked the idea of having...

anyone got an idea?
thanks

cool thanks.. i am gonna check-it out.. :)

you cant have a variable starting with a number.. you can have a number inside the varible name, but not as the first letter.. :)

could anybody explain to me how i could redraw the menu window myself? is it possible? even if it is really hard, i just wanna know how to go about doing so

ok, cool.. thanks Zaei

why do they always have this in their examples



#define UNICODE


or this

this is really annoying..
i have this:



'reinterpret_cast' : pointer truncation from 'WNDPROC' to 'LONG'


i have quite a few similar errors and i cant get rid of them i tried lots of...

does anybody have a link to a very good GDI (+) tutorial?
thank you

what if you read teh content of the file and output it to an edit window.. after the user is done changing, you can print it back to the file..

yea, i know..lol..i was just talking about programs with WinMain and WndProc..but ok..thanks :)

would it just be the same for a windows program?

ohhh..ok i think i am starting to understand... =) thanks Parksie
