Use timeGettime and draw in your idle time if the right amount of time has passed. This solution will work if your system is too slow to do 30 fps and can be set so things still move at the same speed, albiet not as smoothly, and can clamp the top speed to 30 fps.

Multimedia timers could be called for here. Check Nemanja Trifunovic's Timers tutorial. The minimum resolution attainable with these timers depends on the OS [and the hardware it is running on], but probably it is decent for your needs.

Who's the developer at MS that created the Find in Files GUI in VS7? That has to be one of the worse GUI's ever! The Look In dialog is overly cumbersome.

That damn dialog where you select the folders to search is in such a pain. And then they don't even save previous search folders

I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

Hi,
I have the below function to retrieve the applications that are running.
The only problem is that it doesnt retrieve the applciation name, but the
name on top of the window.
Is there any way I can just return the name of the application?
Instead of returning 'Inbox - Microsoft Outlook', but getting it to return
'Microsoft Outlook'
static BOOL CALLBACK AddWinsList(HWND hWnd, LPARAM lParam);
BOOL CALLBACK AddWinsList(HWND hWnd, LPARAM lParam)
{
if (!IsWindowVisible(hWnd) || GetWindow(hWnd, GW_OWNER) != NULL)
return TRUE;
TCHAR szClassName[80];
GetClassName(hWnd, szClassName, 80);
if (lstrcmpi(szClassName, _T("Progman")) == 0)
return TRUE;
char szWndText[556];
GetWindowText(hWnd, szWndText, 556);
if (strlen(szWndText) > 0) AfxMessageBox(szWndText);//Displays name
return TRUE;
}
// do callback
EnumWindows((WNDENUMPROC)AddWinsList, (LPARAM)0);
Thanks
neil

The name of the application isn't always guaranteed to be in the window title. Would it work better for you (what are you trying to do?) to get a list of EXE names such as outlook.exe?

Use EnumProcesses. There is an article on how to do this in the MSDN online help. Search for Enumerating All Processes.

Quick Question,
Anyone have a *good* way of blocking a UI thread until a child-process finishes executing?
Whats commonly used?
ps: This weather sucks.
|
|
|
|
|
WaitForSingleObject(hProcess, INFINITE); might be what you want.
|
|
|
|
|
If you mean completely block the UI thread, then just do a WaitForSingleObject(...,INFINITE) on the child process handle.

If you said Pause the Thread...
If that is your question, you need to Use SuspendThread and ResumeThread functions...;)

Is it possible to create a CMap which maps CStrings vs. ints? that is
CMap <cstring, cstring&,="" int,="" int&=""> map;
I switched around the keys, and it works. I thought you can map just about anything against anything. Any ideas?
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\mfc\include\afxtempl.h(129) : error C2440: 'type cast' : cannot convert from 'class CString' to 'unsigned long'
No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\mfc\include\afxtempl.h(1324) : see reference to function template instantiation 'unsigned int __stdcall HashKey(class CString &)' being compiled
|

You got to overload the template function HashKey to work for CStrings. Here's an example extracted from http://www.codeguru.com/cpp_mfc/excoll.shtml:
template<> inline UINT AFXAPI HashKey (CString& strKey)
{
LPCSTR key = strKey;
UINT nHash = 0;
while (*key)
nHash = (nHash<<5) + nHash + *key++;
return nHash;
}

yes, you can do this, but you have to provide the hash function.
see:

or... use std::map . it's better and will gain you STL-credibility among your fellow programmers.

MFC containers suck. Use std::map and you won't have any trouble.

Could you be more specific please?
Is it that they are not fast enough?

No support for algorithms, no easy compatibility with other containers, not standard, written only as a stopgap prior to STL, never intended to replace it.

Can someone share a sample of code that deletes a file when the path is known. Thanks for any help.

I'm surprised you didn't find DeleteFile yourself.

Me too! Being new to C++ I searched for "delete file" on this site and when I didn't find a clear answer I asked the silly question. I should have tried the on-line help first. Please accept my apology.

Joaquin, you are very hard with that Guy...
He only wants to knows how to use the DeleteFile function...
if(DeleteFile("C:\\MyPath\\File.tmp"))
AfxMessageBox("The file was deleted...");
