Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I have now understood the mistakes which I was doing.
Thanks

You should never do that! Never touch the GUI object from a different thread!
I can't agree with you here. There are lots of pitfalls doing GUI stuff from a Worker Thread but it is mostly all doable. The main problem is that MFC's handle map's are maintained on a per thread basis, so your worker thread can't access the CWnd from another thread. It still can use the hWnd to do GUI stuff and also under some circumstances use CWnd's.
I have a simple class I've written which attachs a CWnd* to the current worker threads message map. It is similar to CWnd::Attach() and resolves the MFC problems with ASSERT_VALID( this ). I make use of these techniques in ED for Windows (see sig), which uses threads extensively. If anyone wants a copy let me know.

How (if possible) can you make a dialog app that can take command line parameters like a console app?

simple: just use _argc and _argv in your CWinApp's InitInstance, before the DoModal call that starts the dialog. use them just as you would use argv and argc in a command line app.

Do anyone know how to do this?
I tried CertOpenSystemStore with name "Other People", but could not get the certificate. It created another store with the same name. Now when I enumerate stores, I get two "Other People" stores.

ok.. part of my data validation on a dialog of mine checks to make sure a field isn't blank, if so the datavalidation fails and gives an error.. so heres my problem..
i have a button in the dialog which pops up another dialog and lets then choose a city in a state, when they hit ok it fills out some fields in the main dialog with the values from the citystate dialog.. like this..
UpdateData(true);
CCityStateDlg dlg;
if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
{
m_strCity = dlg.m_strCity;
m_strState = dlg.m_strState;
UpdateData(false);
}
my problem is that when UpdateData(true); gets called in the begining it causes my errors for blank fields to get called.. but if i don't call it then when i call UpdateData(false); it clears out the other fields in the dialog because the values in the fields were never put in the variables..
so is it ok to do this?
CCityStateDlg dlg;
if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
{
CEdit* pCity = (CEdit*)GetDlgItem(IDC_CITY);
CEdit* pState = (CEdit*)GetDlgItem(IDC_STATE);
pCity->SetWindowText(dlg.m_strCity);
pCState->SetWindowText(dlg.m_strState);
}
and if so does that mean that UpdateData is pointless, or is it just not possible to use in this situation? Basicly i don't want to give the user the errors about blank fields when they click the button because they may fill out these other fields after they choose the city/state..
thanks for the help!

I'd say your proposed solution is fine, given the constraints of your design. Ideally, you only call UpdateData(FALSE) when pressing the "Accept" button --during the lifetime of the dialog the data are supposed to inhabit the controls, and only at exit time are they transfered to the appropriate member variables.

This is a little off-topic from your question and is a design issue instead, but why don't you use dropdown listboxes for city and state? Then you wouldn't have to deal with a second dialog.

Welp, i use the dialog in multiple places, and i haven't taken the time to figure out how to place a propertypage into a static frame inside of a dialog.. basicly i need to reuse this state/city picker in a few different dialogs for different reasons.. but it would be nice if it was just listed there.. maybe in a future version

Yes it is ok to do that.

No you could have set a boolean and checked it in your DoDataExchange and used its value to bypass the data validation routines. UpdateData is not pointless it saves you from having to get, set and validate the dialog data yourself. I usually have several conditionals and some GetWindowText() and SetWindowText() in the DoDataExchange() and call UpdateData(TRUE) and UpdateData(FALSE) several times in my complex dialogs.

Hello, I'm using VC++v6.
When I'm debugging, I cannot view any variable values in the watch window when I step through e.g.
NAME m_PathName
VALUE CXX0017:Error: symbol "m_PathName" not found
The variable is in scope and initialised, and i'm definately in debug mode. My variables window is also empty. I have used them successfully before but I can't figure out why not now.
Can anybody help, thanks,
John

Make sure you have the "Debug info" option switched on. If that doesn't work, exit VC++, delete all .ncb, .opt, .plg, .pch and .pdb files in your project and try again.

Hi,
I was wondering how could I dynamically add an item to a menu (or how to add a menu dynamically).
I appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Hi,
I believe the MSDN library discs have a sample called DYNAMENU that shows how to dynamically add items to a menu.
Hope that helps,
Lan

Use CMenu::InsertMenu
Best regards,
Alexandru Savescu

Use InsertMenu()
BOOL InsertMenu(
HMENU hMenu, // handle to menu
UINT uPosition, // item that new item precedes
UINT uFlags, // options
UINT_PTR uIDNewItem, // identifier, menu, or submenu
LPCTSTR lpNewItem // menu item content
);

Hey this is very common way in answering questions. Many times people don't ask foe link but after that when somebody give them some link they become glad for it.So why should I disobey.

That was a joke. You see, the person who wrote "Send Source Code!!!!" was making demands on CP members as if he were King or President. Similar to "You must do this. I command you." So, the joke was that you did not give him what he commanded. Sorry if I was not clear. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

I create a ListBox in a Dialog dynamically!I want to capture
the message LBN_SELCHANGE of the control ListBox,I create it like this:
m_ListBox.Create (WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE,rc,this,IDC_LIST_BOX);//CListBox m_ListBox
And I use the following code to check if the dialog capture
the message:
LRESULT CMyDlg::WindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
if(message==LBN_SELCHANGE)
{
AfxMessageBox ("LBN_SELCHANGE");
}
return CDialog::WindowProc(message, wParam, lParam);
}
But to my surprise,I found that it can capture the mesage only once,it occured at the begin of the program.after that ,it can't be captured.
How can solve the problem!
Thank you!
Don't look at me in that way!
