winexec
UINT WINAPI WinExec(LPCSTR lpCmdLine,UINT uCmdShow);
Parameters
lpCmdLine
[in] The command line (file name plus optional parameters) for the
application to be executed. If the name of the executable file in the
lpCmdLine parameter does not contain a directory path, the system searches
for the executable file in this sequence:
1. The directory from which the application loaded.
2. The current directory.
3. The Windows system directory. The GetSystemDirectory function
retrieves the path of this directory.
4. The Windows directory. The GetWindowsDirectory function
retrieves the path of this directory.
5. The directories listed in the PATH environment variable.
uCmdShow
[in] The display options. For a list of the acceptable values, see the
description of the nCmdShow parameter of the ShowWindow function.
Return Value
If the function succeeds, the return value is greater than 31.
If the function fails, the return value is one of the following error values.

MessageBox
Aqui un ejemplo de codigo para estos mensajes, programar el siguiente codigo a un boton
y ejecutelo.
int x;
x=MessageBox("Mensaje del contenido del cuadro",
"Mensaje del titulo",
MB_YESNOCANCEL+MB_ICONQUESTION);

if (x==IDCANCEL) MessageBox("Has presionado cancelar");
int MessageBox( LPCTSTR lpszText, LPCTSTR lpszCaption = NULL, UINT nType =

MB_OK );
Return Value
Specifies the outcome of the function. It is 0 if there is not enough memory to create the
message box.
Parameters
lpszText
Points to a CString object or null-terminated string containing the message to be
displayed.
lpszCaption
Points to a CString object or null-terminated string to be used for the message-box
caption. If lpszCaption is NULL, the default caption Error is used.
nType
Specifies a set of bit flags that determine the contents and behavior of the dialog box.
This parameter can be a combination of flags from the following groups of flags.
Specify one of the following flags to indicate the buttons contained in the message box:
Flag Meaning
MB_ABORTRETRYIGNORE The message box contains three push buttons: Abort, Retry,
and Ignore.

MB_OK The message box contains one push button: OK. This is the
default.
MB_OKCANCEL The message box contains two push buttons: OK and Cancel.
MB_RETRYCANCEL The message box contains two push buttons: Retry and
Cancel.
MB_YESNO The message box contains two push buttons: Yes and No.
MB_YESNOCANCEL The message box contains three push buttons: Yes, No, and
Cancel.
Specify one of the following flags to display an icon in the message box:
Flag Meaning
MB_ICONEXCLAMATION, An exclamation-point icon appears in the message box.
MB_ICONWARNING
MB_ICONINFORMATION, An icon consisting of a lowercase letter i in a circle appears in
MB_ICONASTERISK the message box.
MB_ICONQUESTION A question-mark icon appears in the message box.
MB_ICONSTOP, A stop-sign icon appears in the message box.
MB_ICONERROR,
MB_ICONHAND
Specify one of the following flags to indicate the default button:

Flag Meaning
MB_DEFBUTTON1 The first button is the default button.
MB_DEFBUTTON1 is the default unless MB_DEFBUTTON2,
MB_DEFBUTTON3, or MB_DEFBUTTON4 is specified.
MB_DEFBUTTON2 The second button is the default button.
MB_DEFBUTTON3 The third button is the default button.
MB_DEFBUTTON4 The fourth button is the default button.
Specify one of the following flags to indicate the modality of the dialog box:
Flag Meaning
MB_APPLMODAL The user must respond to the message box before continuing work in
the window identified by the hWnd parameter. However, the user can
move to the windows of other threads and work in those windows.
Depending on the hierarchy of windows in the application, the user
may be able to move to other windows within the thread. All child
windows of the parent of the message box are automatically disabled,
but popup windows are not.
MB_APPLMODAL is the default if neither MB_SYSTEMMODAL
nor MB_TASKMODAL is specified.
MB_SYSTEMMODAL Same as MB_APPLMODAL except that the message box has the
WS_EX_TOPMOST style. Use system-modal message boxes to notify
the user of serious, potentially damaging errors that require immediate
attention (for example, running out of memory). This flag has no effect
on the user's ability to interact with windows other than those

associated with hWnd.
MB_TASKMODAL Same as MB_APPLMODAL except that all the top-level windows
belonging to the current thread are disabled if the hWnd parameter is
NULL. Use this flag when the calling application or library does not
have a window handle available but still needs to prevent input to
other windows in the calling thread without suspending other threads.
In addition, you can specify the following flags:

MB_DEFAULT_DESKTOP_ONLY
The desktop currently receiving input must be a default desktop; otherwise, the function
fails. A default desktop is one an application runs on after the user has logged on.
MB_HELP
Adds a Help button to the message box. Choosing the Help button or pressing F1
generates a Help event.
MB_RIGHT
The text is right-justified.
MB_RTLREADING
Displays message and caption text using right-to-left reading order on Hebrew and
Arabic systems.
MB_SETFOREGROUND
The message box becomes the foreground window. Internally, the system calls the
SetForegroundWindow function for the message box.
MB_TOPMOST
The message box is created with the WS_EX_TOPMOST window style.
MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION
Windows NT: The caller is a service notifying the user of an event. The function
displays a message box on the current active desktop, even if there is no user logged on
to the computer.
If this flag is set, the hWnd parameter must be NULL. This is so the message box can
appear on a desktop other than the desktop corresponding to the hWnd.
For Windows NT version 4.0, the value of MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION has
changed. See WINUSER.H for the old and new values. Windows NT 4.0 provides
backward compatibility for pre-existing services by mapping the old value to the new
value in the implementation of MessageBox and MessageBoxEx. This mapping is only
done for executables that have a version number, as set by the linker, less than 4.0.
To build a service that uses MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION, and can run on both
Windows NT 3.x and Windows NT 4.0, you have two choices.
1. At link-time, specify a version number less than 4.0; or
2. At link-time, specify version 4.0. At run-time, use the GetVersionEx function to
check the system version. Then when running on Windows NT 3.x, use
MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION_NT3X; and on Windows NT 4.0, use
MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION.
MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION_NT3X
Windows NT: This value corresponds to the value defined for
MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION for Windows NT version 3.51.
Return Values
The return value is zero if there is not enough memory to create the message box.
If the function succeeds, the return value is one of the following menu-item values returned by
the dialog box:

Value Meaning
IDABORT Abort button was selected.
IDCANCEL Cancel button was selected.
IDIGNORE Ignore button was selected.
IDNO No button was selected.
IDOK OK button was selected.
IDRETRY Retry button was selected.
IDYES Yes button was selected.
If a message box has a Cancel button, the function returns the IDCANCEL value if either the esc
key is pressed or the Cancel button is selected. If the message box has no Cancel button,
pressing esc has no effect.
Remarks
When you use a system-modal message box to indicate that the system is low on memory, the
strings pointed to by the lpText and lpCaption parameters should not be taken from a resource
file, because an attempt to load the resource may fail.
When an application calls MessageBox and specifies the MB_ICONHAND and
MB_SYSTEMMODAL flags for the uType parameter, the system displays the resulting message
box regardless of available memory. When these flags are specified, the system limits the length
of the message box text to three lines. The system does not automatically break the lines to fit in
the message box, however, so the message string must contain carriage returns to break the lines
at the appropriate places.
If you create a message box while a dialog box is present, use the handle of the dialog box as the
hWnd parameter. The hWnd parameter should not identify a child window, such as a control in a
dialog box.
Windows 95: The system can support a maximum of 16,364 window handles.
Windows CE: Windows CE does not support the following styles for the uType parameter:
MB_SYSTEMMODAL
MB_TASKMODAL
MB_HELP
MB_RIGHT
MB_RTLREADING
MB_DEFAULT_DESKTOP_ONLY
MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION
MB_USERICON.
The following return values are not supported:
IDCLOSE
IDHELP

PlaySound (mmsystem.h)
The PlaySound function plays a sound specified by the given filename, resource, or system
event. (A system event may be associated with a sound in the registry or in the WIN.INI file.)
BOOL PlaySound(
LPCSTR pszSound,
HMODULE hmod,
DWORD fdwSound
);
Parameters
pszSound
A string that specifies the sound to play. If this parameter is NULL, any currently playing
waveform sound is stopped. To stop a non-waveform sound, specify SND_PURGE in
the fdwSound parameter.
Three flags in fdwSound (SND_ALIAS, SND_FILENAME, and SND_RESOURCE)
determine whether the name is interpreted as an alias for a system event, a filename, or a
resource identifier. If none of these flags are specified, PlaySound searches the registry
or the WIN.INI file for an association with the specified sound name. If an association is
found, the sound event is played. If no association is found in the registry, the name is
interpreted as a filename.
hmod
Handle of the executable file that contains the resource to be loaded. This parameter must
be NULL unless SND_RESOURCE is specified in fdwSound.
fdwSound
Flags for playing the sound. The following values are defined:
SND_APPLICATION
The sound is played using an application-specific association.
SND_ALIAS
The pszSound parameter is a system-event alias in the registry or the WIN.INI file. Do
not use with either SND_FILENAME or SND_RESOURCE.
SND_ALIAS_ID
The pszSound parameter is a predefined sound identifier.
SND_ASYNC
The sound is played asynchronously and PlaySound returns immediately after beginning
the sound. To terminate an asynchronously played waveform sound, call PlaySound
with pszSound set to NULL.
SND_FILENAME
The pszSound parameter is a filename.
SND_LOOP
The sound plays repeatedly until PlaySound is called again with the pszSound parameter
set to NULL. You must also specify the SND_ASYNC flag to indicate an asynchronous
sound event.
SND_MEMORY
A sound event's file is loaded in RAM. The parameter specified by pszSound must point
to an image of a sound in memory.
SND_NODEFAULT
No default sound event is used. If the sound cannot be found, PlaySound returns silently
without playing the default sound.
SND_NOSTOP
The specified sound event will yield to another sound event that is already playing. If a
sound cannot be played because the resource needed to generate that sound is busy

playing another sound, the function immediately returns FALSE without playing the
requested sound.
If this flag is not specified, PlaySound attempts to stop the currently playing sound so
that the device can be used to play the new sound.
SND_NOWAIT
If the driver is busy, return immediately without playing the sound.
SND_PURGE
Sounds are to be stopped for the calling task. If pszSound is not NULL, all instances of
the specified sound are stopped. If pszSound is NULL, all sounds that are playing on
behalf of the calling task are stopped.
You must also specify the instance handle to stop SND_RESOURCE events.
SND_RESOURCE
The pszSound parameter is a resource identifier; hmod must identify the instance that
contains the resource.
SND_SYNC
Synchronous playback of a sound event. PlaySound returns after the sound event
completes.
CFont::CreateFont
BOOL CreateFont( int nHeight, int nWidth, int nEscapement, int nOrientation, int
nWeight, BYTE bItalic, BYTE bUnderline, BYTE cStrikeOut, BYTE nCharSet, BYTE
nOutPrecision, BYTE nClipPrecision, BYTE nQuality, BYTE nPitchAndFamily, LPCTSTR
lpszFacename );
Return Value
Nonzero if successful; otherwise 0.
Parameters
nHeight
Specifies the desired height (in logical units) of the font. The font height can be specified in
the following ways:
Greater than 0, in which case the height is transformed into device units and
matched against the cell height of the available fonts.
Equal to 0, in which case a reasonable default size is used.
Less than 0, in which case the height is transformed into device units and the
absolute value is matched against the character height of the available fonts.
The absolute value of nHeight must not exceed 16,384 device units after it is
converted. For all height comparisons, the font mapper looks for the largest font that
does not exceed the requested size or the smallest font if all the fonts exceed the
requested size.
nWidth
Specifies the average width (in logical units) of characters in the font. If nWidth is 0, the
aspect ratio of the device will be matched against the digitization aspect ratio of the
available fonts to find the closest match, which is determined by the absolute value of the
difference.
nEscapement
Specifies the angle (in 0.1-degree units) between the escapement vector and the x-axis of
the display surface. The escapement vector is the line through the origins of the first and
last characters on a line. The angle is measured counterclockwise from the x-axis.
nOrientation
Specifies the angle (in 0.1-degree units) between the baseline of a character and the x-
axis. The angle is measured counterclockwise from the x-axis for coordinate systems in
which the y-direction is down and clockwise from the x-axis for coordinate systems in which
the y-direction is up.
nWeight

Specifies the font weight (in inked pixels per 1000). Although nWeight can be any integer
value from 0 to 1000, the common constants and values are as follows:
Constant Value
FW_DONTCARE 0
FW_THIN 100
FW_EXTRALIGHT 200
FW_ULTRALIGHT 200
FW_LIGHT 300
FW_NORMAL 400
FW_REGULAR 400
FW_MEDIUM 500
FW_SEMIBOLD 600
FW_DEMIBOLD 600
FW_BOLD 700
FW_EXTRABOLD 800
FW_ULTRABOLD 800
FW_BLACK 900
FW_HEAVY 900
These values are approximate; the actual appearance depends on the typeface. Some fonts
have only FW_NORMAL, FW_REGULAR, and FW_BOLD weights. If FW_DONTCARE is
specified, a default weight is used.
bItalic
Specifies whether the font is italic.
bUnderline
Specifies whether the font is underlined.
cStrikeOut
Specifies whether characters in the font are struck out. Specifies a strikeout font if set to a
nonzero value.
nCharSet
Specifies the fonts character set. The following constants and values are predefined:
Constant Value
ANSI_CHARSET 0
DEFAULT_CHARSET 1
SYMBOL_CHARSET 2
SHIFTJIS_CHARSET 128
OEM_CHARSET 255

The OEM character set is system-dependent.

Fonts with other character sets may exist in the system. An application that uses a font with
an unknown character set must not attempt to translate or interpret strings that are to be
rendered with that font. Instead, the strings should be passed directly to the output device
driver.
The font mapper does not use the DEFAULT_CHARSET value. An application can use this
value to allow the name and size of a font to fully describe the logical font. If a font with the
specified name does not exist, a font from any character set can be substituted for the
specified font. To avoid unexpected results, applications should use the
DEFAULT_CHARSET value sparingly.
nOutPrecision
Specifies the desired output precision. The output precision defines how closely the output
must match the requested fonts height, width, character orientation, escapement, and
pitch. It can be any one of the following values:
OUT_CHARACTER_PRECIS OUT_STRING_PRECIS
OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS OUT_STROKE_PRECIS
OUT_DEVICE_PRECIS OUT_TT_PRECIS
OUT_RASTER_PRECIS
Applications can use the OUT_DEVICE_PRECIS, OUT_RASTER_PRECIS, and

OUT_TT_PRECIS values to control how the font mapper chooses a font when the system
contains more than one font with a given name. For example, if a system contains a font
named Symbol in raster and TrueType form, specifying OUT_TT_PRECIS forces the font
mapper to choose the TrueType version. (Specifying OUT_TT_PRECIS forces the font
mapper to choose a TrueType font whenever the specified font name matches a device or
raster font, even when there is no TrueType font of the same name.)
nClipPrecision
Specifies the desired clipping precision. The clipping precision defines how to clip characters
that are partially outside the clipping region. It can be any one of the following values:
CLIP_CHARACTER_PRECIS CLIP_MASK
CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS CLIP_STROKE_PRECIS
CLIP_ENCAPSULATE CLIP_TT_ALWAYS
CLIP_LH_ANGLES
To use an embedded read-only font, an application must specify CLIP_ENCAPSULATE.

To achieve consistent rotation of device, TrueType, and vector fonts, an application can use
the OR operator to combine the CLIP_LH_ANGLES value with any of the other
nClipPrecision values. If the CLIP_LH_ANGLES bit is set, the rotation for all fonts depends
on whether the orientation of the coordinate system is left-handed or right-handed. (For
more information about the orientation of coordinate systems, see the description of the
nOrientation parameter.) If CLIP_LH_ANGLES is not set, device fonts always rotate
counterclockwise, but the rotation of other fonts is dependent on the orientation of the
coordinate system.
nQuality
Specifies the fonts output quality, which defines how carefully the GDI must attempt to
match the logical-font attributes to those of an actual physical font. It can be one of the
following values:
DEFAULT_QUALITY Appearance of the font does not matter.

DRAFT_QUALITY Appearance of the font is less important than when
PROOF_QUALITY is used. For GDI raster fonts, scaling is enabled. Bold, italic,
underline, and strikeout fonts are synthesized if necessary.
PROOF_QUALITY Character quality of the font is more important than exact
matching of the logical-font attributes. For GDI raster fonts, scaling is disabled and
the font closest in size is chosen. Bold, italic, underline, and strikeout fonts are
synthesized if necessary.
nPitchAndFamily
Specifies the pitch and family of the font. The two low-order bits specify the pitch of the
font and can be any one of the following values:
DEFAULT_PITCH VARIABLE_PITCH FIXED_PITCH
Applications can add TMPF_TRUETYPE to the nPitchAndFamily parameter to choose a

TrueType font. The four high-order bits of the parameter specify the font family and can be
any one of the following values:
FF_DECORATIVE Novelty fonts: Old English, for example.
FF_DONTCARE Dont care or dont know.
FF_MODERN Fonts with constant stroke width (fixed-pitch), with or without serifs.
Fixed-pitch fonts are usually modern faces. Pica, Elite, and Courier New are
examples.
FF_ROMAN Fonts with variable stroke width (proportionally spaced) and with
serifs. Times New Roman and Century Schoolbook are examples.
FF_SCRIPT Fonts designed to look like handwriting. Script and Cursive are
examples.
FF_SWISS Fonts with variable stroke width (proportionally spaced) and without
serifs. MS Sans Serif is an example.
An application can specify a value for nPitchAndFamily by using the Boolean OR
operator to join a pitch constant with a family constant.
Font families describe the look of a font in a general way. They are intended for
specifying fonts when the exact typeface desired is not available.
lpszFacename
A CString or pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the typeface name of the
font. The length of this string must not exceed 30 characters. The Windows
EnumFontFamilies function can be used to enumerate all currently available fonts. If
lpszFacename is NULL, the GDI uses a device-independent typeface.
Remarks
Initializes a CFont object with the specified characteristics. The font can subsequently be
selected as the font for any device context.
The CreateFont function does not create a new Windows GDI font. It merely selects the
closest match from the fonts available in the GDIs pool of physical fonts.
Applications can use the default settings for most of these parameters when creating a
logical font. The parameters that should always be given specific values are nHeight and
lpszFacename. If nHeight and lpszFacename are not set by the application, the logical font
that is created is device-dependent.
When you finish with the CFont object created by the CreateFont function, first select the
font out of the device context, then delete the CFont object.
CBrush::CBrush
CBrush( );
CBrush( COLORREF crColor );
CBrush( int nIndex, COLORREF crColor );
CBrush( CBitmap* pBitmap );
Parameters
crColor
Specifies the foreground color of the brush as an RGB color. If the brush is hatched, this
parameter specifies the color of the hatching.
nIndex

Specifies the hatch style of the brush. It can be any one of the following values:
HS_BDIAGONAL Downward hatch (left to right) at 45 degrees
HS_CROSS Horizontal and vertical crosshatch
HS_DIAGCROSS Crosshatch at 45 degrees
HS_FDIAGONAL Upward hatch (left to right) at 45 degrees
HS_HORIZONTAL Horizontal hatch
HS_VERTICAL Vertical hatch
pBitmap
Points to a CBitmap object that specifies a bitmap with which the brush paints.
Remarks
Has four overloaded constructors. The constructor with no arguments constructs an
uninitialized CBrush object that must be initialized before it can be used.
If you use the constructor with no arguments, you must initialize the resulting CBrush
object with CreateSolidBrush, CreateHatchBrush, CreateBrushIndirect, CreatePatternBrush,
or CreateDIBPatternBrush. If you use one of the constructors that takes arguments, then no
further initialization is necessary. The constructors with arguments can throw an exception
if errors are encountered, while the constructor with no arguments will always succeed.
The constructor with a single COLORREF parameter constructs a solid brush with the
specified color. The color specifies an RGB value and can be constructed with the RGB
macro in WINDOWS.H.
The constructor with two parameters constructs a hatch brush. The nIndex parameter
specifies the index of a hatched pattern. The crColor parameter specifies the color.
CPen::CPen
CPen( );
CPen( int nPenStyle, int nWidth, COLORREF crColor );
CPen( int nPenStyle, int nWidth, const LOGBRUSH* pLogBrush, int nStyleCount = 0, const
DWORD* lpStyle = NULL );
Parameters
nPenStyle
Specifies the pen style. This parameter in the first version of the constructor can be one of
the following values:
PS_SOLID Creates a solid pen.
PS_DASH Creates a dashed pen. Valid only when the pen width is 1 or less, in
device units.
PS_DOT Creates a dotted pen. Valid only when the pen width is 1 or less, in device
units.
PS_DASHDOT Creates a pen with alternating dashes and dots. Valid only when
the pen width is 1 or less, in device units.
PS_DASHDOTDOT Creates a pen with alternating dashes and double dots. Valid
only when the pen width is 1 or less, in device units.
PS_NULL Creates a null pen.
PS_INSIDEFRAME Creates a pen that draws a line inside the frame of closed
shapes produced by the Windows GDI output functions that specify a bounding
rectangle (for example, the Ellipse, Rectangle, RoundRect, Pie, and Chord
member functions). When this style is used with Windows GDI output functions that
do not specify a bounding rectangle (for example, the LineTo member function), the
drawing area of the pen is not limited by a frame.
The second version of the CPen constructor specifies a combination of type, style,
end cap, and join attributes. The values from each category should be combined by
using the bitwise OR operator (|). The pen type can be one of the following values:
PS_GEOMETRIC Creates a geometric pen.
PS_COSMETIC Creates a cosmetic pen.
The second version of the CPen constructor adds the following pen styles for
nPenStyle:

PS_ALTERNATE Creates a pen that sets every other pixel. (This style is applicable
only for cosmetic pens.)
PS_USERSTYLE Creates a pen that uses a styling array supplied by the user.
The end cap can be one of the following values:
PS_ENDCAP_ROUND End caps are round.
PS_ENDCAP_SQUARE End caps are square.
PS_ENDCAP_FLAT End caps are flat.
The join can be one of the following values:
PS_JOIN_BEVEL Joins are beveled.
PS_JOIN_MITER Joins are mitered when they are within the current limit set by
the ::SetMiterLimit function. If the join exceeds this limit, it is beveled.
PS_JOIN_ROUND Joins are round.
nWidth
Specifies the width of the pen.
For the first version of the constructor, if this value is 0, the width in device units is
always 1 pixel, regardless of the mapping mode.
For the second version of the constructor, if nPenStyle is PS_GEOMETRIC, the
width is given in logical units. If nPenStyle is PS_COSMETIC, the width must be set
to 1.
crColor
Contains an RGB color for the pen.
pLogBrush
Points to a LOGBRUSH structure. If nPenStyle is PS_COSMETIC, the lbColor member of
the LOGBRUSH structure specifies the color of the pen and the lbStyle member of the
LOGBRUSH structure must be set to BS_SOLID. If nPenStyle is PS_GEOMETRIC, all
members must be used to specify the brush attributes of the pen.
nStyleCount
Specifies the length, in doubleword units, of the lpStyle array. This value must be zero if
nPenStyle is not PS_USERSTYLE.
lpStyle
Points to an array of doubleword values. The first value specifies the length of the first dash
in a user-defined style, the second value specifies the length of the first space, and so on.
This pointer must be NULL if nPenStyle is not PS_USERSTYLE.
Remarks
If you use the constructor with no arguments, you must initialize the resulting CPen object
with the CreatePen, CreatePenIndirect, or CreateStockObject member functions. If
you use the constructor that takes arguments, then no further initialization is necessary.
The constructor with arguments can throw an exception if errors are encountered, while the
constructor with no arguments will always succeed.
CClientDC
The CClientDC class is derived from CDC and takes care of calling the Windows functions
GetDC at construction time and ReleaseDC at destruction time. This means that the device
context associated with a CClientDC object is the client area of a window.
For more information on CClientDC, see Device Contexts in Visual C++ Programmer's
Guide.
