CToolTipCtrl and CResizableDialog

It seems that tooltip control does not work well with CResizableDialog. I followed a few posts,
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/141758
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/143313
CWindowTip class from www.codeproject.com/dialog/windowtip.asp
CHwmDataTip class from www.codeguru.com/cpp/controls/controls/tooltipcontrols/article.php/c2183/
But all of them do not work well with CResizableDialog, the same code works well with CDialog derived dialogs.

Convert JPG file to DICOM file

There is a utility provided by dcmtk 3.6 to convert image to dicom file, but the source code is a little bit complex (about 400 lines of code in dcmtk-3.6.0\dcmdata\apps\img2dcm.cc). The following code snippet is less than 80 lines of code, and easier to understand.

#include <iostream>
#include "dicomlib/dicomlib.hpp" // http://code.google.com/p/dicomlib/
#include "ximage.h" // http://www.codeproject.com/KB/graphics/cximage.aspx

// This code is created under Windows XP, built by VC++ 2010 (onega)
