do you have any suggestion on how to a month calendar control to a dialog box. i add the control through msvisual c++ to the dialog, but when the program runs the dialog wont show up.

i click a button to show the dialog box CreateDialog(…). if i can get the box up and running i can get the info from it. initcommoncontrolsex is not reconized upon compile but the structure INITCOMMONCONTROL. any help would be appreciated.

Great site.
Don’t stop here, keep adding to it.
As said, it would be nice to move onto creating a functional interface. (a calculator for instance?)

Hi,

I liked your turorail a lot… As a beginner i could easily understand and follow the tutorials.. the exampls are very simple and at the same time covers all the essentail basics… thanks for sharing the knowledge, looking forward to see advanced toipics…

then,.. im trying to do somth but facing problems….. this might sound very simple, again as i said im a beginner to windows programming…

In my application i want to send messages to an another application window (a CAD application basically)..

I am able to find the handle of the window, but not able to send messages.. Can u post some turorial or somethng that talks about sending messages to other API windows..

I am also facing problem finding handle of child window.. here’s my problem exactly..

I have a window opened, the name of the window being “Microsoft Visual C++”… and this window has a child window named “test.c”..

i am able to find the window handle of the main window (“Microsoft Visual C++”) through below statement…

hwndtest = findwindow(NULL,”Microsoft Visual C++”);

but when i use below statement to find child window, the function just returns a NULL value..

hwndtest1 = findwindowex(hwndtest,NULL,NULL,”test.c”);

Can somebody help me with the exact syntax to do the above thing…

Thanks in advance for your help..

~ Guna

Immense help; thanks; I was programming mainfarmes (IBM) in cobol, assembler for 16 years, then CLIPPER for 16 years. Couldn’t figure out windows programming as i was used to “readable” and “nested” code; then message queue became clear to me. You explained this; now it is easier. Thanks and keep posting more please.

GREAT TUTORALS BTW

questios: lol

how do you program a grid like coordinate system used for games?

can you use arrays to store the data of each cell?

how do you put the coordinate system into a picture u can move around in with a mouse?

is there a simpler way of coding “pop up messages” that i can code differnt input formats?

sorry, i might not be making sense
i’ve got tons of other questions too if its ok with you?

Evens

I just want to tell that the link for the introduction section of this tutorial is :

I was able to extrapolate the information in your tutorials to other languages that can interface with C (like the D programming language). This is a good thing.
