You should be programming in C++ API. Then you can do the same (and more) without the declaring of your api's.

Controls that look like XP controls ran in XP
I dont know C syntax much yet. I am slowwwwwly learning it tho :)
The declares are actually needed in C++, they are just included in header files and stuff. I use a module for header files. It works well.
Does the code run any faster in C++ then VB, or is the syntax the only difference?
I do know that there are some things in C++ that are better for example:
lngCounter = lngCounter + 1 is fatser in C++ as: lngCounter++
For now, all my programs are written in API code. I never use forms or controls from VB. I use api due to its speen, good resource use and customization.
I started using API when I learned about the ListView from VB. There were several things I could not do to the VB ListView and later on found that the Collection used for the LV items is slowwwww! The LVM_INSERTITEM along with pre allocation the number of items in the listview is FAST!
I think I might be pushing the VB limit tho.
Well, it might not be much faster, maybe a bit, but with C++ you are able to subclass the events without using any subclassing routines. Much more powerfull the you can do with VB.Quote:

VB is a very nice language, but if you are only using API's to create the programm, I would recommend learn C++! :cool:
Ya, your probably right. It was quite a difference from VB to API code. scary at first and FRUSTRATING! Also, VB crashes alot now that I use API's. Maybe VB wasnt ever meant to be programmed like this.
That's for sure. ;)Quote:

1 question for ya:
The Rebar control. Everytime the form is painted by resizing it or if i call MoveWindow, The entire Rebar is repainted. How can I keep this from hapening? I managed to do it ok with the other controls, but the rebar control keeps repainting.
with:
VB Code:
Locks the screen or form of your chosen handle. After resizing (so when you done (mousup event), you do:
VB Code:
Good luck!
naw, i dont think so. It will still refresh when i unlock it. It must have something to do with window clipping.
WS_CLIPCHILDREN Or WS_CLIPSIBLINGS styles for the main window or child windows, but i am not quite sure yet.

Thank you for the code, I have been looking for something like this for a long time. I have played around with for a couple of hours, but I still have some questions:
* Where would I put the Click event for, for example, the buttons in the toolbars? And how do you add items to the combobox?
* If I have an exisiting window, and would like to add a toolbar to it, how do I do? I understand that some changes must be done before I put the code in a form's Load event..
Any help is appreciated.

OMG THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR MONTHS TRYING TO FIND HOW TO DO THIS!!
MAN I COULD KISS YOU MUWAH :p
YOU DESERVE A REWARD!!
