Hi all,
I would like to open a dialog box from a console application. Basically, I have an app that looks for new processes and if certain processes appear I want to pop up a dialog box.
Any pointers to tutorials, articles, sample code would be appreciated.

You may want to instead consider building a standard Windows app that runs in the system tray a la anti-virus, firewall and similar daemon apps.

CString into a non-MFC app

Hi,

Look for the article below.
Enumerating processes : A practical approach
http://www.codeproject.com/threads/processes.asp

It can list all the running processes. From the list search for the process you are looking for.

Hi,
I'd like to use a XML parsing library (http://www.codeproject.com/soap/markupclass.asp) that uses CString (I guess that's the only MFC thing it uses). I'd like to use it in a pure WinAPI app, is there a way to add CString there Confused | :confused:

? (which files/libs to link, never worked with MFC really). An alternate solution would be another XML library.

Thanks for your answers

CString w/o MFC? No!
I Thought I saw CString equivalent here at CP some where, or you could write your own.

Thanks... I found it at http://www.codeproject.com/string/stdstring.asp... seems nice, unfortunately it also uses CArray (I'm currently looking if I might replace it somehow myself). Still if you new a way to add MFCs CArray (and CString eventauly) to a non-mfc project (I guess I'll have to link to the MFC dll anyway... All I need it to do is to be a WinAPI app that makes use of MFC... sounds weird, doesn't it... )

IIRC, CString is nowadays (also) under the CPL - MS made it part of the WTL library which they made free software.

In VC7.x CString is a shared class that is shared between MFC and ATL. AFAIK all you have to do is #include <atlstr.h> and you can use CString in non MFC apps. If you are using VC6 you are SOL.

You can also use WTL, which has minimal overhead and its CString is identical to MFC's

Could you also, please please please, tell me if it has this CArray? Before I download and install it... Thanks

Michael Dunn3-Jul-04 15:34

You can use the ATL class CSimpleArray

I know I'm being annoying, but does it have the same interface as teh MFC's CArray. Can I use it as a drop-in replacement (after a typedef of course)

PS: I'm really sorry to be such a pain, but I really don't do MFC/ATL/WTL stuff at all (yes, I've looked up MSDN... lists less member functions that CArray, but it's only the ATL CSimpleArray - just really not sure about it all)

thanks

Michael Dunn3-Jul-04 20:41

I haven't looked them both up and compared them, but you can look at CSimpleArray in atlbase.h

a) VC7 : makes the CStringT template available for both ATL and MFC projects
b) WTL (clickety[^]) : provides a 1:1 CString clone for ATL/WTL projects under VC6. The ATL/WTL framework emphasizes "link on demand", so you could basically create a raw Win32 application/library with CString
c) On Codeguru you'll find a macro that extracts the CString sources from your MFC library, so oyu can add them to any other project
d) there are some CString clones[^]. However, with the availability of WTL, there's rarely a need, unless you need to be portable
e) finally, you can "rip out" the WTL CString class. All that CString needs from the framework is the Ressource HINSTANCE for implementing LoadString and similar functions. (IIRC there are some more system-dependent elements, which can be easily replaced)

we are here to help each other get through this thing, whatever it is Vonnegut jr.
