Edit Control/Tooltip problems with Manifest File

[hutch--]

Dave,

A fixed value is fine if you want it hard coded, I tend to make them so they can be user adjusted. Its not hard to make it more efficient but with loading 2 word values into an API, you are not going to see the difference.

ohhhhhhh   :bg
i see, the values 4 and 14 come from variables, then

Code Select Expand

        push    LowWordPart
        mov word ptr [esp+2],HighWordPart
        pop     eax

I like the comments :bg

[There are segments of society that live with their Caps Lock key permanently on. I used to get email from some of them.]

Yeah, they're called "parents."

Raymond Chen is like the ANTI-EDGAR. :eek

...If you enter 'common controls' into the search box at his website, you will find alot of blog posts about the version difficulties associated with Windows Common Controls.

...There are segments of society that live with their Caps Lock key permanently on,...

:eek ...Yeah,...I do that ALL THE TIME,...just to be annoying. :eek
...Actually, I think my computer automatically activates the CAPS LOCK whenever it notices that I am responding to either 'hutch', or 'oex'. I haven't figured out how to psychically disable it yet,... :eek
