Windows

Version B

Windows with clocks

• Demonstration
• Functionality:
  • show a small window with a clock in the left-top corner of the main window of each application
    • use EnumWindows() function and choose all windows which are visible, no minimized and are not popup windows
    • you can assume that the number of windows for clocks is limited, but the program should never crash
• The main windows of the program:
  • closeable (closing this window should terminate the application)
  • always on top
• Windows with clocks:
  • features:
    • caption with current time in the title
    • size: 150 x 24
    • always on top
    • not visible on the taskbar
  • always placed in the left-top corner of one main window of an application
  • number of windows with clocks should be appropriate for current situation, but it is possible to see a clock for a window covered by another window (because of desirable 'always on top' feature)
• Hints:
  • EnumWindows()
  • IsWindowVisible(), IsIconic()
  • GetWindowLong(), GWL_STYLE
  • GetWindowRect(), MoveWindow()
  • DestroyWindow()
  • GetLocalTime(), SetWindowText(), _stprintf() [sprintf()], TCHAR [char], TEXT()
  • SetTimer(), WM_TIMER

• Approximate points:
  • the main window: 1.5
  • windows with timers:
    • features: 2.0
    • position: 1.5
    • appropriate number of windows: 1.5
    • selecting windows for clocks: 3.5
