I also don't want the maximize icon in the top right to be active. How do you control the keyboard delay/repeat ? Where can I find a good timer class that I can implement ? How do I get the current resolution of the monitor ? I've tried searching a lot on the net but I keep running into MFC. Can anyone please help ? Thanks in advance.    Report
