• Visual C++ Checkbox problem

  I have a simple dialog box with a check box. When the checkbox is clicked I intercept the click in the message procedure and attempt to get the current state, however the call only ever returns 0 i.e. unchecked. Here is the call I am using, any ideas why this might be happening int PRINTER_CONNECTED = (int)SendMessage(hwndPrinterConnected, BM_GETCHECK, 0, 0); Thanks in advance, Mark Coleman What styles has the checkbox If it is not of style BS_AUTOCHECKBOX you just receive a click. But the state doesn't change by itself. You have to set the check or uncheck it. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Notification on Windows Text change

  Hello, I have a question in SDK windows programming. I have a window control, implemented as an editable control for user to enter text. User can add text in the window control either by typing through keypad or copy/paste using mouse. I call GetWindowText() to read text from the control. I want to display a message while user is entering text or copying a value, if the text exceeds a certain length. I am aware that I can trap keyboard and mouse events to do this. But I would like to know if there is any way to get notified, when there is a change in text on a window control Your response is appreciated. Thanks. Correct ...Show All

• Visual C++ Issue with spawnv (tried spawnl, spawnlp and spawnvp, too)

  Dear all: I ran into an odd behavior, and I wonder whether anyone has encountered it before and possibly knows a fix/workaround/correction. Rather than post lots of code right away, I will describe it first. The program is a .C source with a regular int main(). If I use spawnv directly with the no wait flag, the path/command and the arguments (not interested in the env part), it works nicely. However, if I try to put the same logic into a subroutine, it works sometimes. My goal is to feel the PGP.EXE command line which has switches, e.g., '-h' for help. Some output goes to stdout, some to stderr. I use something close to Microsoft's he ...Show All

• .NET Development Diff Bet VS .net and VS

  Hello I have read many documentation, but cannot really get this figured. In the old world(with out the .NET) a visual basic program in VStudio created .exe, which could be executed in Windows. In the .NET world, using the VB .NET the documentation says  that it would  create a (Intermediatary Language) IL. This then becomes native language and then native language gets executed on the CRL. Can some explain what this is all about, where is the .exe(if at all) created in the .NET world, and how it fits in the .NET framework Confused developer.
