Anyone know how to add the standard tip of day dialog to an existing MFC app
now compiled on VS.NET? It used to be in the component gallery but I can't
seem to find this or figure out how to do it in VS.NET. Any help would be
appreciated.

Erin.

Unfortunately, the VC7 doesn't provide the "Tip of the Day" component
again, but you can implement it with yourself, it is just a modal dialog
which displayed in the end of the app's InitInstance() function, the
following are some custom "Tip of the Day" dialog projects of the VC6 and
above, wish you can find the implementation approach from them:

running! :)
