    HELP! Timers

    i would think that a better approach would be to capture the mouse move event (i'm not sure which message that is). Just a thought... thiefmaster

    Status Bar Question

    Hi. I have a menu and a status bar in my program. I found this article on the net -> http://www5.zdnet.com/pcmag/pctech/content/15/04/pp1504.001.html <- which showed how to make it so that when you went over items, it would update the status bar accordingly. The only problem with this code is...

    Rich Edit Boxes

    my only problem was that I was stupid and didn't include <richedit.h>... slight oversight on my part... I had to read through a japanese website and look at only the code to figure it out... :) maybe this will help.

    antialiasing fonts

    Hi. I'm trying to figure out how to antialias a font so that it looks right in comparison to the rest of my bitmap. Here's the code that I'm already using: bitm = LoadBitmap(hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_BITMAP2)); GetBitmapDimensionEx(bitm, &amp;size); GetClientRect (hDlg, &amp;rect); hdc1 =...

    Rich Edit Formatting

    I figured out how to display a rich edit box and to get my text in it superscripted, but I ran into another problem. How can I make it so that the superscripted text is not cut off? As it is now, you cannot see what is in superscript. I've already adjusted the control's editing rectange by...

    Array with variable as index

    i had written myelements2[i] = myelements[i], but forgot to enclose it by the code TGML... :) I needed to have an array that was only as large as it needed to be because it is a class... If i remember from when I did a sizeof, each one is around 100 bytes (i think)... therefore, if it has 100...

    Copy variable without changing original

    if you have something like below, it should work for you. int main() { int num1 = 3; int num2 = 5; num1 = num2; // num1 == 5 &amp;&amp; num2 == 5 return 0; } the other thing is, what kind of variables are they? Are they ints? floats? depending on what type of variable you have can affect...

    Array with variable as index

    not quite. Let me see if i can clarify: If there is only 1 element in the array, then the array would only be of size 1. If there is 2 elements in the array, then the array would be of size 2. etc. So basically, it would be an array that grows with the data put into it. I've tried to have...

    WM_TIMER and GetTickCount()

    I was reading from one of my Win32 API books, and it stated that WM_TIMER messages can be queued and then sent to windows depending on what Windows is working on, which makes it very unreliable if you want to do something that needs good precision. Good luck

    Using the TIMESTAMP Predefined Macro

    Hello. I'm having a problem with the TIMESTAMP Predefined Macro. Perhaps it's just not what I need to use, but I'll find out. I want to make it so my program has the date and time of build encoded in it in such a way that my program can view this information in the about box. eg. About my...
