OfTheBay 64-bit

[Patrice Terrier]

What for need ResolveLnk()? I didn't see any *.lnk files in text format...

I wrote the original code long ago, and i can't rember for sure, however i think to remember that it is related for this specific case

You can create a shortcut to a Control Panel tool by dragging an icon from Control Panel to the desktop or another location,
or by manually creating a shortcut and specifying the path to a .cpl file.
Same for FILE_EXT zExt[3] = { L".cpl", L".exe", L".dll"};

I keep working on the new release, tyring to mix your changes with mine altogether.

Andrey,
  I get these errors with your PellesC project as a 64bit app on
Windows 10:
  Version  1703
  OS Build 15063.296

As a side note I am also getting resource file errors compiling PBWin10 apps with this Windows 10 build.

Andrey,
  I get these errors with your PellesC project as a 64bit app on

I've used this SDK _http://forum.pellesc.de/index.php?topic=7017.0
That cause the problem...

attached updated version... should be compiled now

Added:

By the way Andrey, there are some part of the code when reading images that i didn't remember to have ever posted here (especially magenta processing and the alpha channel change for mouse detection). 

You post somewhere... I don't remember where from, but I have CRD3.zip -> gControl.inc
And I can recover source code from compiled binary... (made functional analog...)
Many years of Reverse Engineering...

A new standalone version of 139 Kb has been attached to the first post of this thread.

More code cleanup and further mix with Andrey's...

So far, i plan to post both projects in the official release, and i could also post Emil's Delphi version if there is a final one.

Andrey, have you ever worked with OpenGL?

Here is the message that has been sent to me, to explain why 
 

Hi zapsolution,


Thanks very much for your contribution to CodeProject. However, your article 'Of The Bay (dock bar)' in the Desktop Gadgets section at

https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1194952/Of-The-Bay-dock-bar
has been deleted. Would you be willing to make some changes to your article? Unfortunately this is more akin to tool sharing, which is something we do not do on CodeProject. CodeProject is more about code teaching.

CodeProject articles have a certain layout to follow, so that users can learn the most from them. Each article attempts to answer the following questions: What problem does this solution solve? How does this help someone else? How does the code actually work? What is going on inside the code snippets?

Here is a submission from a first time author who did a terrific job, just to give you a basic overview of what a beginner article might looks like: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/37642/Avoiding-InvokeRequired
