Another annoying thread

Sorry, I realize I posted very similar code a few days ago, but I have another question about it.

Code:

// Windows.cpp

#include <windows.h>
#include "Controls.h"

const char g_szClassName[] = "WindowClass";
HWND hWindowHandle;

char STSUsername[256];  // STS = String to store
char STSPassword[256];

And a header that works and shouldn't have anything to do with my problem. Oh, by the way, here it is: Whenever I click on either the username or password edit boxes, the dialog closes. Is this meant to happen? Is there some code that needs to be added to prevent this from happening? I've looked through a few examples, and in them, it only mentioned the edit boxes in the .rc file, so I did the same. I'm on XP Pro, and using Dev-C++ if it matters.

Thanks in advance for any future replies.
Necrofear :D

Remove the default switch and corresponding EndDialog statements from the WM_COMMAND handler for Control2DlgProc; it's unlikely the modal dialog will even be created with that there. Even if the dialog box is created then just about anything that fires that WM_COMMAND message will result in the destruction of that dialog box.

Thanks a million for that suggestion, 'cause even though I haven't got access to a compiler at the moment, I see no reason for that not to work! Cheers :cool:

Oh, one more question though. I've looked at a few of these login windows in other programs, and there's always a "remember my password" checkbox. I'm confused as to how these work. What does it do? Encrypt it then save it in a txt file or something? I require no code, just any knowlage anyone could provide.

(Though having said that: knowing how, unlucky/inexpierienced at programming, I am, chances are that it won't work as I've made some stupid error, and there will be yet another idiotic post by me on these message boards. So any examples are more than welcome if you feel like it.)

Thanks again Ken, and thanks for any helpful replies!
Necrofear.

Why encrypt it if all one has to do is open the program? ;)

I'm a bit confused. :confused:

Surely, if they open the program, it will just appear as stars. They cannot read this over say someones shoulder, so they do not know the password. I said encrypt it so then they can't just open my documents and read it. Plus, if they don't have access to the program, they can't even run it. If however they do have access to it, then the admins or whatever wouldn't be stupid enough as to click remember my password. That's my theory anyway. Please let me know if there are any loop holes in it.

Cheers

There are programs out there that can see through the stars, astericks, circles, whatever.

So what do these remember password checkboxes do then?
Cheers Necrofear

To prevent shoulder-surfing. I'd need to have you leave the computer, me boot up the program, run it, find the password, maybe write it down, then exit.
