Re: packing bytes to form an int (32bit) Jon Hulatt7-Mar-02 2:51 Jon Hulatt 7-Mar-02 2:51  I would expect that the quickest way is this: char l,h; // from your serial port DWORD dwValue = 0; // init to 0 dwValue= ((DWORD) h) << 8; dwValue+=l; of course, you could do that on one line if you liked. But, the point is that an ADD operation is going to be quicker than an OR. if you init your DWORD to 0, then the add and or are identical in their result anyway. However, I wouldn't be very worried about speed here. Your data is coming from a serial port, and serial ports ain't that quick. So long as your CPU is faster than an 8088, you'll probably keep up however you do it. Jon Sorry to dissapoint you all with my lack of a witty or poignant signature. Re: packing bytes to form an int (32bit) Tomasz Sowinski7-Mar-02 2:50 Tomasz Sowinski 7-Mar-02 2:50  I'd go with shift - work is probably done in CPU registers, which are way faster than memory. OTOH, good compiler could optimize the code and keep union in the one of the registers as well. I believe both solutions will be fast enough - are you expecting this operation to be a bottleneck for your app? Merle Pittman wrote: my last thought would be to use a void pointer to step through an array, but I am not completely sure how this would work. With void pointer you can't step through anything. You could do that with unsigned char pointer, but creating 16-bit int in memory will be probably slower than shifting (see above).

But they can come from many unit types : FD, local HD, network HD, CD writer, DVD rom etc.... So, for a given computer (the local machine !)I need to know : - The drive list - the type of each drive - the name of each unit (HD name, CD ROM name if one is inserted in the CD Reader..) I did not find out how to do that in VC++, is there anybody out there who can help me , please ? You guys, who are so smart I've a new question : how to know if a unit is a CD Writer, a DVD writer ? Thank you very much for the so numerous and efficient answer ! (hope make me live !)

Thanks. rajim@phrasea.com Re: Parsing MS Word file Michael P Butler7-Mar-02 2:39 Michael P Butler 7-Mar-02 2:39  Pretty damn hard. The Word file format isn't offically documented. You might want to have a look at some of the open source Office products as they claim to be able to read Word files. If you Word document is saved as RTF, then the job is a little easier as RTF is at least documented by Microsoft.

It's a multi-platform free software word processor that can read quite a few document formats, including MS Word (I think it's from V.5 and onwards). It's GPL so it comes with complete source.

Neha7-Mar-02 2:08 Neha 7-Mar-02 2:08  Hi, I have a thread created as _beginthreadex(NULL, 0,MyMainThread, this, 0, &the_lThread); In that MyMainThread() i will create one more thread as _beginthreadex(NULL, 0, MySecondThread, the_this, 0, &the_lThread); In MySecondThread() i will call one function, in which i have SendMessage(MainWnd,WM_THREADREFRESH,TRUE); But when the control enters Sendmessage,application hangs.. anyone pl help me to solve this. Neha Re: Thread problem.. Tomasz Sowinski7-Mar-02 2:14 Tomasz Sowinski 7-Mar-02 2:14  From MSDN docs for SendMessage: If the specified window was created by the calling thread, the window procedure is called immediately as a subroutine. If the specified window was created by a different thread, the system switches to that thread and calls the appropriate window procedure. Messages sent between threads are processed only when the receiving thread executes message retrieval code. The sending thread is blocked until the receiving thread processes the message. It seems that thread which created MainWnd doesn't process its messages in message loop. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com Re: Thread problem.. Tim Smith7-Mar-02 2:20 Tim Smith 7-Mar-02 2:20  In other words, even with SendMessage, you still might need some type of message pump in the thread that created the window. Or at least some type of message retrieval code. Tim Smith 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?

My application is a exe,in that i call a dll function which has 2 threads as i referred before.In my application i have a while loop which gets & dispatchs the message. 2nd thread in the dll calls the one function in my application .when it calls that function i observed that it was not processing messages. If i call that function form the 1st thread in dll,it just works fine. could you pl help me.. Neha Re: Thread problem..

Generating Control ID Abhishek Narula7-Mar-02 1:37 Abhishek Narula 7-Mar-02 1:37  I ll be having a array of controls all of whose parent is same . now since these controls are created at runtime I cannot assign a Id to it at programing time. How do I generate a uniqe Id each time I create a new CWnd derive control ? I wish I could rate Gurus the way its on Codeguru . in any case any help would be appreciated. Abhishek Narula "Learn to appreciate others ... World would appreciate you" Re: Generating Control ID Tomasz Sowinski7-Mar-02 2:19 Tomasz Sowinski 7-Mar-02 2:19  Start with some value and increment it each time you're adding a control. If you have a mixed situation - your controls and controls created by some other code, you may use EnumChildWindows. For each HWND returned, check the id with GetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_ID). Calculate max existing ID, add 1 and create control. Abhishek Narula wrote: wish I could rate Gurus the way its on Codeguru . in any case any help would be appreciated. Stop brown-nosing.
