    Problems with OnPaint

    Also when you use the SelectObject function it returns a pointer to the old object. Reselect this object before the one you created goes out of scope. For example: CPen pen1, *penOld; penOld = pen1.CreatePen(PS_SOLID,3,RGB(0,0,0)); dc.SelectObject(&pen1); // ....processes using the pen1 object...

    Problems with OnPaint

    Add the code ReleaseDC(&dc); to the end to release the dc you created. Even though it goes out of scope, I believe that MFC has done some behind the seens operations that has some memory still allocated.

    GDI problem: CreateSolidBrush

    Since you are in the mouse move handler, you needed to created a device context. You must also release the device context object with a call to ReleaseDC. If you fail to do this you will run out of GDI resources and your program will fail.

    Problems with WM_PAINT

    Sounds like you are loosing graphics resources. Make sure you reselect in the original pens, brushes, ... etc before exiting your paint function. Also if you use GetDC anywhere you need to use ReleaseDC. Hope this helps.

    CFile troubles

    Try changing the following two lines of code. Save.Read(&pClient, clSize); should be Save.Read(pClient, clSize); Save.Write(&pClient, clSize); should be Save.Write(pClient, clSize); The first parameter in these two calls is a pointer. Your pClient variable is already a pointer, so I don't...

    I know that the CreateFile can be used to access the serial ports. I have not looked, but have a feeling it is also used to access the parallel port. Look it up on-line in the msdn website. Hope this helps.

    How to detect scrollbar visibility?

    The scroll bars are a property of the window style. I'm not sure if there is an api to tell if they are visible or not. Here is a solution (although may not be the most elegant). Get the window rectangle for both the frame and client windows. You know that the difference in width will be larger...
