Hi.
I am using multithread quite often now in my program when appropriate. According to Jeff Prosise, there are two simple ways of using multithreading correctly, especially worker threads.
-----
1: private HANDLE + duplicating thread handle upon instantiation
This solution make use of ::CloseThread(...)
2: private pointer to CWinThread + delete private member
This solution requires setting thread autodelete to FALSE and deleting thread manually.
-----
Right now, I am using solution #2. The reason is I would know the thread is really gone because I delete, not MFC. Nonetheless, I have seen developers use both. Jeffrey Richter uses solution #1 in his book, Programming Applications for Microsoft Windows (Dv-Mps General).
Are there advantages one solution has over the other?
Thanks,
Kuphryn

A few weeks ago, I posted a message about a wierd while loop that wouldnt exit when the subjected control returned "Connected". OK, problem solved. Just for the curious, the input was being added a few characters at a time, and although the TRACE0 showed the "Connect 300", it was broken up. When I added all the strings together it worked.
On to my next major hassle.
Normally I fight with a problem for a few weeks before trudging all over you nice folks for an answer. This is the case now.
Why, in gods name, would the MSCOMM32 control stop receiving data? Here's the ugly details. My app calls a function "Connect" that connects the modem to a remote host. When the function showes connected, it returns. Another function is then called to handle the send / receive of data through the port. Its here that things get all bunged up. I can send data. PortMon (http://www.sysinternals.com[^]) shows the sent data going through the port. But, nothing comes back!
When I connect using HyperTerminal. All works normally. What in the hell could I be doing wrong here?
Thanks for any help, and sorry about the long explaination.

Hi,
I wrote a multi-threaded application that sends/recieves documents on a scheduled/event driven basis. It works fine as a console application the files are being sent and the CPU usage is around 30%. My problem is when I have the exact same code in a Windows Service application. When the service is using one thread to send documents it also works fine, but if there is more than one thread running at one time the CPU usage shoots up to 100%. Could someone please help me?  
Thanks
P.S. The applcation is also using the System.Timer and File System Watcher.
Thanks Again,
Aisha

If you're doing a loop you might want to add a Sleep(50) in there to give other tasks a chance.

where do i validate the dialogs data? Is it in the views member function?
pl give me an idea.
Thanks

i usually override OnOK in the dialog and do any validation there. if the validation fails, tell the user what happened and then return, don't call CDialog::OnOK.

Ok, I can override the OnOk function to do my validation, but how to i make the users data to be transferred to the dialog's member variable? do i have to call the DoDataExchange function??
|
|
|
|
|
in OnOK, call UpdateData, first. this will send all the data through the DDX functions and into whatever variables you've attached to the controls. then you can look at the member variables and do your other validation.

Validate how ? If you're using DDE, then the data validates itself at the time of entry.

it is for validating the string entented in the textbox? to my knowledge, i think we can validate only the max. length of the string in DDX functions?
am i correct or not?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes. DDX sucks in any case, you should probably follow Chris' advice and validate in OnOK.

I have implemented global variables with the method that is going round this message board. That is to write a header file with all my global variables and a corresponding .cpp file to call it.
global.h
namespace myspace{
extern int myvar,*myptr;
}
global.cpp
int myspace::myvar,*myspace::myptr;
This work perfectly;), but I need my pointer to be initialize with new() statement for the first use. I would like to put it in the global.cpp file so that this is done automatically when this global file is being used. How do I do that?
Could I do it using Class ?? If the new() statement is implemented in the constructor, would this means every class derive from this Base Class, would call new() statement in the constructor? This means redudant memory allocation is done here?

There is no class here, only a namespace. You just said they were globals, didn't you ? You can call new in the .cpp file. You could also assign to NULL, and have your classes call new if NULL.

do your "new" in your CWinApp's InitInstance.

Declare a class in global.cpp and make a single instance of that class
class CGlobal
{
private:
CGlobal()
{
myptr = new int[32];
}
~CGlobal()
{
delete [] myptr;
}
};
static CGlobal globalInit;

Yes. Just don't derive from the class. That can be prevented by making the constructor private.
The other option is to make a GlobalInit() and GlobalCleanup() function which does your allocations and call it at the beginning of your program.

Thanks for the reply. I understand the portion on using private for constructor. Could u help tell me more of the statement on
static CGlobal globalInit; ? Where should this be declared in?
Why is there a need to declare it as a static ?

If I create an application and use an Access database and a user installs my app on their computer without Access installed, will my application still work...?
Basically is the Access driver a DLL which I can distrubute with my own applications...???

To use .mdb databases without Access installed, you'll need so called Jet Engine. It was distributed as part of MDAC stack, but was dropped around MDAC version 2.6. Now you'll need so called Jet 4.0 SP3. Check this MS site for download link:

I have a check box button that I create as child of another window at run time. I could not make the checkbox as big as the its window text. it is always bigger that the text. How can I make the check box fit to its text ?
The code I am using is below.
void CParentWindow::PreSubclassWindow()
{
CRect Rect;
GetWindowRect(&Rect);
ScreenToClient(&Rect);
CDC * dc = this->GetDC();
CSize size = dc->GetTextExtent(strCheckBoxCaption);
//Create the check box rectangle
CRect CheckRect (Rect.left + 5, Rect.top , Rect.left + size.cx,
Rect.top + size.cy);
m_Check.Create(strCaption,
WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP | BS_CHECKBOX,
CheckRect,this, 1);
}
Christian Grauss has an article that creates a check box in a static window. But his check box is also bigger than its text.So I could not find an example. How can I fix this ?
Thank you
