Hello,
This maybe a vague question but I figure I'll ask it anyway.. I have a UI thread that gets spawned from my app.. when I close the app I see a memory leak and it points to this...
IMPLEMENT_DYNCREATE(CConnectThread, CWinThread) <--------
Why is that? I close the UI thread from with in it's self by issuing a AfxEndThread(0,TRUE);
Weird.. any ideas?

According to the docs for "Normal Thread Termination"
"For a user-interface thread, the process is just as simple: from within the user-interface thread, call PostQuitMessage in the Platform SDK. The only parameter that PostQuitMessage takes is the exit code of the thread. As for worker threads, 0 typically signifies successful completion."
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply.. I have tried to use PostQuitMessage.. But I am unsure how to obtain the exit code.. Can you give me a hint 
Thanks,
Rob

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to this. I would have thought MS would have examples on their site. Do a search there for UI Threads and alike.

Did some research and the exit code would be the same code you would use in WM_CLOSE (wParam) which is usually 0... I went ahead and replaced my AfxEndThread with PostQuitMessage(0) and everything seems to be working fine.. (I'm not seeing any memory leaks..)
Thanks again!
Rob

Hi,
I'm developing an application using the Doc/view. I have several different views of the document which I want to display. This is being acheived by using, surprise, static splitter windows. the catch is that I need to be able to change the configuration of the splitter windows depending on what the user wants. For example:
splitter 1
-----------------
- view 1 -
-----------------
- view 2 -
-----------------
But now the user wants to see another view like this:
-----------------
- view 1 -
-----------------
- view2 - view3 -
-----------------
I know how to set up views, but my problem is how do I destroy these views and re-create them in the new format that I need to? I tried to change the number of rows/columns then re-create the views, but I can't add any more rows or columns once the first splitter is created, but I can't figure out how to delete that original splitter and then re-create the whole package. Any ideas?

hi everybody!
Is there any functions in ODBC or any other library that dealing with adding escape characters to the sql input string that contains single quote characters? btw, i'm using msaccess database with my vc++ program.. do you use single quote or escape character to escape the single quote in the sql input string?
e.g.
original sql string: insert into table1(test) values('it's here')
after adding the escape character: insert into table1(test) values('it''s here')

Good day!
I have a crash in release when changing tab in the CTabCtrl.
and while writing the message, that I mostly delete, I fixed it ...
Anyway, for those who want to know ...
I had this :
ON_NOTIFY(TCN_SELCHANGE, IDC_TABCONTROLLER, OnTabSelChange)
and I had this :
void MyPanelParent::OnTabSelChange( )
{
}
but the real definition is :
void MyPanelParent::OnTabSelChange(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
}
Anyway, all is well now, move along ...
Max.

How can I dissect an .exe to view its contents? The IDE of Visual C++.NET does not allow these file types to be opened. I opened one using the edit program from the dos command prompt, but it was just a bunch of symbols and letters. So I guess my question should be what do I do to view an .exe in a legible form?

What do you want to view specifically?
You can view things like the import and export tables, the resources and other information like that with a PE viewer. You can find one in MSDN by Matt Peitrek.
However, if you want to look at the actual code for the EXE you cant do that. You will need a reverse compiler, and they are not all that great.

Nor are they all that legal in some areas. However I'm guessing Mr Anonymous doesn't care since he wants to steal someone's code.

Yeah, but what would he do with it ? He's obviously dumb enough to expect an exe just to be all the source files joined together.

Why does Mr. Anonymous have to be trying to steal someone's code. Why can't he just be learning through example. Or maybe he wanted to see how wrappers are utilized. There are hundreds of possibilities, but it would take a critic to only see the negative ones.

The IDE does let you open an EXE to view it's resources, at least.

You can try dumpbin. It will display quite a bit of information, including disassembly.
It's a good tool for learning what is inside an EXE.

Hello,
I would like to create a utility that automatically moves MP3 files around and creates directories or deletes them based on my criteria. What is the preferred MFC functions to use for copying, renaming, deleting, and moving both files and directories? ("Directory" is a difficult search word because it results in everything dealing with MFC installation, not directory manipulation).
Thanks!

SHFileOperation is also a good choice !

I'm trying to print the file using ShellExecuteEx()
but for some of the files need file's associate .exe to set before ShellExecuteEx() get called.
So I want to set the fiel associate .exe ( same as "open with") programmatically.
So I search...
I found out I can set the registry as
[code]
Use the Registry functions to access the registry.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ext\(Default) contains the type of file you are looking for. Then accessing
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\fileinfo\Shell\Open\Command\(Def
ault) where fileinfo is the value that was specified in the first registry key I mentioned.
[/code]
but I don't know where to get HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT..
I don't know how and where to set HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
I also used [code]
CString finename = "abc.txt";
CString path = "C:\";
LPTSTR fn = (LPTSTR)(const char*)filename;
LPTSTR p = (LPTSTR)(const char*)path;
LPTSTR r;
::FindExecutable(fn,p,r);[/code]
but I got run time error at FindExecutable()..
Lets say, if FindExecutable is returning r, (in this case r = "c:\program files\notepad.exe", which contains the file name with Rath name... ,, then what should I do... what if r is empty...???
Thanks

If you are using ShellExecuteEx, then it handles finding the associated application for you. Just specify the name of the document and set the verb to "print". If the document has an associated application, and the application supports the print verb, that should do it.

I know about it.. but what if the documents doesn't have associated applicaiton, print verb??
How can I set the associated application programatically??
