Never mind. I figured it all out. Thanks for all of your help. I had to use the IsDialogMessage function properly.

I'm not following your code very well, could you please explain it? And shouldn't the tab stop style fix my problem because from the research that I've done, It should do exactly what I want it to....

OK, after some research I figured out that I could use WS_TABSTOP but it's still not working. I have condensed my Program down so that you can see somewhat of the full code that I am dealing with.
...

Actually here's the code to the entire dialog Procedure:


BOOL CALLBACK DlgProc2(HWND hwnd2, UINT Message2, WPARAM wParam2, LPARAM lParam2)
{
switch(Message2)
{
case WM_INITDIALOG:
//...

Here is the best thing that I could come up for the tab functionality but it still doesn't work.

case WM_CHAR:
switch(LOWORD(wParam2))
{
case 0x09:
{
HWND hmove =...

I'm not sure how to create the functionality of the tabs.

How can I say, if the tab button is pushed, use SetFocus() ?
(I haven't dealt to much with code for saying if a certain button is pressed do something.)

Well yes, but how can I use that in order to do this?

Hey,
I was just wondering how do I make my edit boxes so that when the the tab button is hit the cursor will go on to the next edit box in windows API. I've done some research on functions that deal...

Yes, but I thought personally things started to get overly complicated at that point and I didn't think that it was worth it to use a bunch of effort using the processing method. Still, if I were...

Never mind I found the problem I had to set border="0" in the frameset part.

But then I won't have any background for that frame.

No actually the background is a very light peach(very light!). I don't see why my band director cares. Nobody is ever going to notice it but she is a perfectionist. It is a verticle white line that...

Like I said, I didn't originally build the website, if I did I would have never used frames, and try maximizing the browser to see the white line(it's pretty thin).

Honestly, from what I have seen and worked with for a few years now, the way that you described seemed the best way to fit what you were trying to do. There are other routes I guess that you could go...

I'm trying to help my band director with her website and I can't seem to figure this out. We have 2 frames set up, one that takes up 20% of the screen and the other takes up 80%. There is a little...

I'm having troubles implementing your code into mine. I used resource files to create my buttons and edit boxes and I'm not using the window for this, I'm just using a dialog box here is some of my...

Ok, I tried this but it didn't work.


case IDC_AWA:
{
HWND hRetrieve = GetFocus();
int length = GetWindowTextLength(hRetrieve);
LPCSTR pszText = "á";...

Yeah, just use system("color 1F);
The 1F is just an example. they stand for the color's foreground and background. to view the different color choices go to command prompt and type color ?.

Hey, I was working on a program in windows API where there are multiple edit boxes and there are push buttons. If a pushbutton is clicked, I want the program to find the edit box that the cursor is...

Thank you that actually helped quite a bit and there really is no reason besides just the fact that I want to learn.

thank you very much. Now is there a compiler that will let me create them?
Would Dev let me?

I use the compiler that comes with Visual C++, the os is vista. and by compiler directives I mean like when you use #define, #if, #endif... and so on. I have used compiler directives many times but...

Hey, I was wondering how (if it's even possible) to create my own compiler directives. Any help?

Hi, I was wondering how you could change the head bar of a window in windows API.

This is the line of code that I want it to change:

CAPTION "Spanish Conjugation Quiz"

I downloaded winres.h. If you look in the resource file, and see where I include it, you can replace it with afxres.h instead.

nevermind I figured it out, thanks for all the help.

Yea I was actually looking at that just before you told me that but is there some kind of message for inserting the text?

win32 api functions

Well, I create the edit box in my resource file and it's identifier is something like IDC_IDENTIFIER. So how would I go about doing it that way?

Hey, I'm working on a Spanish program and I want to make it so that if somebody wants to type in an a with an accent all they have to do is press the pushbutton. I realize how to create the...

Hey, I can't figure what is wrong with this part of my program. I know that it has something to do with that my variable i is exceeding the vector boundaries but I can't figure out how to stop it. I...

Thanks. It works like a charm now.

Hey, I was working on a program that would ask you a question and you had to put an answer. Well, when I went to compare the answer the user inputs with the right answer, it always comes up wrong and...

Hey, I'm having some troubles with my hangman game i'm making. I want it to display dashes for the number of characters that there are in the word which that part works fine. but then if they guess...

Thanks that worked perfect.

I'm trying to load a bit map but the picture won't come up. It compiles just fine. I'm not sure if this makes a difference either but I am trying to load a bitmap into a dialog box. Here's the code:...

SPNstruct(LPCSTR english, LPCSTR spanish) { eng = english; spn = spanish; }
eng = new LPCSTR[strlen(english)+1];
strcpy(eng, english);
// now do the same thing for spn variable
spn =...

Hey, I'm trying to load a bunch of words and setting them as my text but I they aren't setting for some reason. Here is the code:


#include "windows.h"
#include "resource.h"
#include <fstream>...

What I mean is how can I use that string in the first parameter?
