CTreeCtrl SetCheck not working OnInitDialog() init fix C++

For example:-

HTREEITEM hItem = m_treeCtrl.InsertItem("test");
m_treeCtrl.SetCheck(hItem,TRUE);

doesn't check the checkboxes!

but if you unmodify and re-modify then it works fine:-

m_treeCtrl.ModifyStyle(TVS_CHECKBOXES, 0);
m_treeCtrl.ModifyStyle(0, TVS_CHECKBOXES);

HTREEITEM hItem = m_treeCtrl.InsertItem("test");
m_treeCtrl.SetCheck(hItem,TRUE);

Hiding an MFC dialog box without taskbar / flickering etc

How to: Hiding an MFC dialog box without taskbar / flickering etc

If you show your dialog using CDialog::DoModal() the framework will make sure your dialog is shown. There is only one way to prevent a modal dialog from being shown:

In your MFC Project dialog e.g. CHiddenDialog.cpp

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CHiddenDialog, CDialog)
    ON_WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING()
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

BOOL CHiddenDialog::OnInitDialog()
{
    CDialog::OnInitDialog();
    m_visible = FALSE;

    return TRUE;
}

void CHiddenDialog::OnWindowPosChanging(WINDOWPOS FAR* lpwndpos) 
{
    if (!m_visible)
        lpwndpos->flags &= ~SWP_SHOWWINDOW;

    CDialog::OnWindowPosChanging(lpwndpos);
}

in your header file CHiddenDialog.h

void OnWindowPosChanging(WINDOWPOS FAR* lpwndpos);

How to delay start a program and optionally wait for internet connection before starting.

A Common issue in windows 7 is that when booting up the programs can run before the internet connection is made which causes issues. this small dos program was written for MS Outlook but it can be used for any program or file.

download: http://www.traction-software.co.uk/downloads/delaystart.exe   (148kb) dos program and put it somewhere on your hard disk. e.g. c:\

type delaystart.exe   for parameters. e.g.

c:\delaystart.exe

-d(delay in seconds)
-n wait for internet connection (upto 50 retries)
-f<filename>
-h hide program window
-m minimize program window


e.g. DelayStart.exe -d10 -f"c:\testfile.exe"       will wait 10 seconds and run the testfile.exe
e.g. DelayStart.exe -n -f"c:\testfile.exe"       will wait for the internet connection to be successful before starting testfile.exe   (will try upto 50 times, approx 1 second+ per try)
---- with any file ----
e.g. DelayStart.exe -n -f"c:\myfile.pdf"       will wait for the internet connection to be successful before opening myfile.pdf in the default viewer  (will try upto 50 times, approx 1 second+ per try)


For boot up.
In the windows Startup folder, remove the outlook shortcut item and add a new shortcut to the DelayStart.exe file.
