Clean-up in OnDestroy
Hi, In my dialog based MFC application I put all clean-up code into OnClose (). Recently I noticed that calling EndDialog () closes the application but without executing OnClose ().

Newbee :: Question about windows service
Hi, i'm new on C++ and I'm trying to write a simple windows service for learning purposes. I created it on MS VC 6 (i'm sorry, this is the official version of the company I work for) using the wizard. I'm pasting only the code I've changed indicating them with *****.

VIRUS ALERT! (was CInternetSession::OpenURL and Seek, Read)
ATTENTION! I googled for ["IE Inspector HTTP Analyzer"] and reached a site wich offered a trial version of the software. I can't recall which site though.

Scrollbar paint problem with XP theme - SDI
When I use the app wizard in VS 2005 to create a simple SDI application (change view to be a CFormView), the scrollbars on the form view don't seem to paint properly. As you resize the main window, the scrollbars will flash and initially paint with the XP theme and then repaint with the classic view. Any idea... 16 May 2008 13:01

CInternetSession::OpenURL and Seek, Read
Hello Does anyone know the details of what goes on behind the scenes when I open a URL with CInternetSession::OpenURL and then do a Seek( ) and a Read( ) on the returned file pointer? I'm guessing that the class just downloads and caches the entire URL and then seeks and reads into a local file on my hard d... 16 May 2008 08:17

CListCtrl ?
I was wondering if there is an equivalent statement for the CListCtrl to select a particular? Something like SetCurSel(item number) in a CListBox? What I want is to highlight the insert item and have the list scroll down so that the current item that was inserted is always visible. As it is now the top of ... 15 May 2008 14:36
