I recently asked this question which got me started in the right direction - at least for loading the MFC DLL and trying to show a dlg box. The problem is, the typical dialog box is horrible as a main window for an APP. It is quite simple for me to create a new exe project to do what I want, but the problem is that I have a DLL and t...

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 (and win32 API in C++), and I have a window which was designed using the built-in dialog box editor. At runtime, I want to be able to use CreateWindow() to add new controls to it. This works, however the controls I create all look really ugly. For the purpose of concreteness, the control I'm adding is a TabC...

Consider you have a set of objects X (e.g., A, B, C, D) that you wish to divide into non-empty subsets that cover all of X. Mathematically, a partition of the set. So, at first you might treat them as all different, {{A}, {B}, {C}, {D}}. Alternatively, you could separate them into vowels and consonants, i.e. {{A}, {B,C,D}}. Or, arbitra...
