1. modify your ThreadFunc like this:
void ThreadFunc(void * dummy)
2. call _beginthread like this:
_beginthread(ThreadFunc, 0, this);
3. again, modify your ThreadFunc to call a member function of your CMainDlg:

void ThreadFunc(void * dummy)
{
    CMainDlg* m_pDlg = (CMainDlg*)dummy;
    if(m_pDlg != NULL)
        m_pDlg->ThreadFunc(NULL);
}

Hi,

Your thread ThreadFunc is CMainDlg mamber. To use
CRT _beginthread try to declare it as separate function as:

void ThreadFunc(void * dummy)
{
}

Or try to use AfxBeginThread, or CreateThread

Hope it help.

Thank you all for your replys. Greg S. your solution worked like a charm and its so obvious ... i only forgot to cast it to the editor pointer inside the thread function. Big Grin | :-D

... again thank you all for your solutions.

Selecting multiple files in subdirectories

Hi,

Can somebody tell me how to do this:

I need to get all .c files from a directorie, and all of its subdirs, without having the user to selected them al manually --> he only needs to select one directory!

Thanks

MFC CFileFind
Win32 FindFirstFile, FindNextFile

And then recurse down the tree when you find a file that is a sub directory. There MUST be an example on CP

a quick example if you don't find one:

WIN32_FIND_DATA findData = {0};

HANDLE findHandle = FindFirstFile( "c:\\my\\dir\\of\\cfiles\\*.c", &findData );
if ( INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE != findHandle ) {
  do {
    printf( "found file: %s\n", findData.cFileName );
  } while ( FindNextFile( findHandle, &findData ) ); 
}
else {
  //error handling here
}

I think that will only go into the dir you specify - to recurse down into sub dirs you'll have to add some extra code

Dead windows in MFC

Hi,

Suppose I'm writing a program wich uses 3 windows:

1: select a mode
2: select an input\output path
3: perform some actions (and supply the program with the actions properties)

ans suppose i call those windows win1,win2, and win3.

After havig performed the actions in win3, I'd like to show win1 again and let all the others disappear.

HOW CAN I DO THIS?

all those windows are inherited from CDialog and are showed by calling the DoModal method.

Thank you in advance,

And i forgot:

If i try to get back to the last windows (for instance from win3 to win2), both dont react anymore .

CAn you tell me how this is possible (or rather how to solve it)?

Re: Dead windows in MFC

After win3.DoModal() returns with ID_OK, you call win1.DoModal() again.

Or am I missing something? If yes, please post (relevant!) code.

Good luck!

I am sorry, it was IDOK.
And you did read the MSDN article about CDialog::DoModal(), did you?
Sorry to be rude, but I think it is the minimum requirement to have read the relevant MSDN articles before asking questions.

But,

I now need to make my own IDs, instead of IDOK i want to use (for instance IDready): can can I do this?

PS: I've already looked in the MSDN

OK,

but if I try to build my solution, the compiler says IDREADY: undeclared identifier, altough I've declared it allready in my class' message map!

What's wrong with this? Confused | :confused:

You need to have IDREADY #defined in resource.h (which you'll #include in your .cpp file).

I suspect you're just starting out with MFC. You'd be wise to read an introductory text on the subject and teach yourself the basics. It shouldn't take long and will save you a lot of frustration. I recommend any of these authors: David Kruglinski, Charles Petzold and Jeff Prosise. You can probably buy their books used on Amazon or EBay for next to nothing.

Xp vs. NT

Rage31-Jul-03 0:39

I know there are some differences between the way XP and NT are handling threads, but I do not know hat exactely. Can somebody point me this out ?

My problem is following :

I have made a very simple MFC dialog application, with one single button. Pushing the button launches another dialog in a separate thread, with a progress bar being filled through a timer (the app does not make sense by itself, it is just for testing).

Under NT, I can debug it without any problem.
Under Xp, the debugger hangs after a few steps with F5.

I suppose it is linked with the way Xp and NT are handling threads and processes, therefore my previous question.

Thanks CPians.

Does the whole system seem to run REALLY slow too until you manage to kill the debugger? If you are using VC6, this same thing happens to me. Sometimes two or three times in a row. I don't know how to fix it, but I can tell you it sure is a PITA. Mad | :mad:

I don't know if you already fixed the problem. (3 weeks ago you ask about it) but I had the same problem (hanging when debugging in other then the main thread)
And it has been driving me crazy. And today I search the web again about the problem expecting not to find anything about it.
But I did. On a forum on codeguru.

It seems like if you have enabled "advanced text services" on XP then a DLL is hooked in each process. This is causing VC to stop responding

Sound stupid. And I haven’t heard anything about it before.
But after turning it off. I can now debug without any problem.

To turn off "advanced text services".
1. Open Regional and Language Options in Control Panel.
2. On the Languages tab, under Text services and input languages, click Details.
3. On the Advanced tab of the Text services and input languages dialog box, select the Turn off advanced text services check box to turn text services off.

Flush cin

30-Jul-03 23:54

Stupid, stupid question.

Is there a way to completely flush cin of everything. A '/n' stays in the buffer if you ever use the stream extraction operators.

The end goal is to replace the VC6 functionality of 'press any button to continue.' which is written out to the console in debug mode. It needs to be using only STL (using cin / streambufs etc), and it only needs to detect enter being pressed. I know I can use _kbhit(), but I'm annoyed enough to want someone to tell me what I'm missing.

Bloody lecturers.

If you can keep you head when all about you

If you can think - and not make thoughts you aim;
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it.
