a question for Parskie...........

okay, so you're not parksie, but please answer anyway.

where can i find the header file with all of the consts in them?? I think windows.h has a lot of the api functions but i would like to know where i can find all of the consts??????

thanks you.

I think that they're dispersed between the function definitions. Also check out windef.h and winbase.h (winuser.h has lots as well).

thanks i'll look into it.

BTW: when i go into Visual c++ the the whole menu bar and toolbars have disappeared. I don't know how this happened. :confused: The only way I can navigate in these conditions is if I use Keyboard shortcuts. the strange thing is...If I create a program and run it, the Menu and toolbrs appear again, but when the program stops running, they disappear. Do you know how I can fix it???

thanks again.

Start a program in the IDE, then while it's running right-click on the toolbar area, and enable all the toolbars...then close the program and pray ;).

PS: It's nice someone asked for me by name...never had that before. A 'new experience' on my road to Guruness :).

Nope, nothinbg happened :(. I think it might has something to do with these error messages i keep getting in the debug window.

Code:

i tried reinstalling it but no luck :(.

yeah, i asked you diretly by your name because
A) you're the best in c++
B) you always give meaningful and helpful answers!!
C) you're not a robot. no offense to the other guru's but at least we know you have emotions and feelings becuase you joke around a lot. i never seen that from any other guru except for kedaman. he's a cool guy too. maybe you should get promoted GURU. Or C++ GURU!

Try completely removing it then reinstalling it.

Megatron: yeah i thought about that, but i want to use it as a last resort only.

Parskie: i always compiled in debug before and none of those errors ever showed up :( and i also get some error mesage when i try to compile a dos app. the worst part is that it doesn't run at all. :( do you think i have to compelety re-install it?

thanks.

the reason i'm a little hesitant is because it will take a long time to do it.

It doesn't take too long to reinstall - my copy went on in about 5 mins.
