    Taskbarness

    Thanks for the help! I've gotten onto a good trail from that information which might end it success. PS: I found out what it's name is: a 'Desk Band'. -------------- "Ask a question and your a fool for three minutes, don't ask it and your a fool for a lifetime." -Chinese Proverb...

    Taskbarness

    No I mean making a toolbar. Like the windows media player one. -------------- "Ask a question and your a fool for three minutes, don't ask it and your a fool for a lifetime." -Chinese Proverb Xerxes Dynatos

    Taskbarness

    How would you create a dialog for the taskbar, not the system tray but the taskbar in C++ API? Like the quick launch. Like maybe a text box or something in the taskbar. Can this be done? -------------- "Ask a question and your a fool for three minutes, don't ask it and your a fool for a...

    GetWindowPos?

    If there is a SetWindowPos why isn't there a GetWindowPos? Anyway here's my question: how do you get the current window position? I've tried the WINDOWINFO/GetWindowInfo--but VC++6.0 doesn't like it, it says its 'undefined', so I looked in winuser.h (which I included) and both are there, so I...

    TheGlobalVariableThatIsn't

    I have global variable, after every time I use it, I clear it (like it should). But at about line 2510 or so the global variable doesn't exist. The compiler still recoginizes it as global and therefor doesn't give an error, but at runtime the global variable doesn't exist. So I just create a...

    ReadinReg

    It don't matter what I do, when the program reaches to the code of RegQueryValue or -Ex, it crashes and gives an error message from Windows to close it. -------------- "Ask a question and your a fool for three minutes, don't ask it and your a fool for a lifetime." -Chinese Proverb...

    Hotkey ?'s Windows Overwrite

    What I really mean to say is: How does this integrate with hotkeys? I mean after do all that stuff, how do define it for a registered hotkey? -------------- "Ask a question and your a fool for three minutes, don't ask it and your a fool for a lifetime." -Chinese Proverb Xerxes Dynatos

    Hotkey ?'s Windows Overwrite

    No it ain't. It makes no sense and there are no examples. I just can't grasp hooks (ha) with a bunch of jibberish nonsense that makes no sense. I tried to write a program doing just what msdn says, and it don't work. Every time I try to figure out something from msdn it never works...

    Progress Bar

    You got to first get the MK_LBUTTON, then the coordinates, then do a sendmessage(...,x,y);. If that doesn't work(cause it does for me), perhaps I shouldn't have answered. -------------- "Ask a question and your a fool for three minutes, don't ask it and your a fool for a lifetime.&quot...

    ReadinReg

    XP Home&Pro. It'll open it, and I can write to it--it just won't READ it. -------------- "Ask a question and your a fool for three minutes, don't ask it and your a fool for a lifetime." -Chinese Proverb Xerxes Dynatos

    Progress Bar

    Get the mouse coordinates, then use (-ing y) the update feature on the progress bar. Use the following code to obtain the horizontal and vertical position (see below for more info): xPos = GET_X_LPARAM(lParam); yPos = GET_Y_LPARAM(lParam)...

    ReadinReg

    neither work: RegQueryValue gives a GPF and freezes the sytem (I first used the RegOpenKey). -------------- "Ask a question and your a fool for three minutes, don't ask it and your a fool for a lifetime." -Chinese Proverb Xerxes Dynatos

    Kill 'Em All

    I don't mean the system processes, just the open apps. Like if I have IE and Calculator up, it'll kill just those to programs. But never mind, I just created a simple task manager. -------------- "Ask a question and your a fool for three minutes, don't ask it and your a fool for a...

    ReadinReg

    How can I read a value in the registry? I've tried RegQueryValue and -Ex, SHGetValue, SHQueryValue, etc. All of these I looked up on MSDN and found that I'm using them right, but the compiler doesn't like it. For instance on SHGetValue, it tells me to put in the 4th slot the type of value to...

    How do you programmatically control a service?

    try something like this: http://www.1cplusplusstreet.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=3087&lngWId=3 -------------- "Ask a question and your a fool for three minutes, don't ask it and your a fool for a lifetime." -Chinese Proverb Xerxes Dynatos

    Kill 'Em All

    Is there any way to completely close all the open applications without lists and specific window close? Just a general kill all apps. -------------- "Ask a question and your a fool for three minutes, don't ask it and your a fool for a lifetime." -Chinese Proverb Xerxes Dynatos

    Hotkey ?'s Windows Overwrite

    Would anyone like to expound on its usage? MSDN is useless and I found no other resources that even mentions it. Sorry for the ignorosity. -------------- "Ask a question and your a fool for three minutes, don't ask it and your a fool for a lifetime." -Chinese Proverb Xerxes Dynatos

    Hotkey ?'s Windows Overwrite

    Is there anyway to overwrite the default windows shorcuts in c++? I.E. win key + E is explorer. Then do a hotkey in prog that is win key + E and assign it something else. Can this be done in c++? Or is it some sort of reg hack (still can be done in c++, though a little more code)? Is this...

    I'm creating a special program for a CD. 1. Drive Letter: How to find the specific drive for the CD (i.e. search the drive labels? for example if I have quake in the cd drive I'd search the labels for QUAKE3 or whatever, then obtain the drive letter somehow (cause if you have multiple...
