I'm getting an Assert error when I try to get the contents of a CEdit Martin Marvinski21-Jan-02 13:05 Martin Marvinski 21-Jan-02 13:05  I'm getting an error when I try to get the contents of a CEdit control. I'm have a SDI MFC app that has a dialog bar. I put a CEdit control on it and I get an Assert error. I guess you can't do this in the Doc/View architecture because it works when I tested it in a Dialog App. CEdit* pEdit =(CEdit*)GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1); Any help would be appreciated becuase I don't normally use MFC <marquee style="filter:blur(Add=1, Direction=90, Strength=4)">I Microsoft and Re: I'm getting an Assert error when I try to get the contents of a CEdit Christian Graus21-Jan-02 13:15 Christian Graus 21-Jan-02 13:15  This approach is fraught with error. You should store the edit control as a member variable and access it that way.

Re: I'm getting an Assert error when I try to get the contents of a CEdit Tim Smith21-Jan-02 14:20 Tim Smith 21-Jan-02 14:20  From what context are you calling GetDlgItem? The code you have should work, but only if GetDlgItem is called from the right context. For example, if you dialog bar is called m_dlgBar, then you should have, m_dlgBar .GetDlgItem (IDC_EDIT1). My best guess is that you are calling GetDlgItem from your main window class or a view window. Then again, it has been a while since I used MFC and I could be wrong.

When are you calling GetDlgItem()? If you are calling it before the control has been created, you will get an assert. Yes, there are people who argue that using GetDlgItem() is bad - don't listen to them! Both ways are valid. Form your own opinion! Check this article for a well-written explanation of one side... J Your pointer points to temporary object 23-Jan-02 2:42 23-Jan-02 2:42  That's the main error, I think. Because control in your dialog bar is not attached to existing CEdit object, GetDlgItem creates temporary CWnd instance and returns pointer to it. You use the temporary object. This is how it should be done: HWND hwnd; dlgBar.GetDlgItem (IDC_EDIT1, &hwnd); // get the handle of control CEdit wndEdit; wndEdit.Attach (hwnd); // copy handle to the instance // ... use wndEdit wndEdit.Detach (); Don't forget to Detach (), because as wndEdit goes out of scope, its destructor destroys the window with the handle that it has last attached. new and delete -> across an EXE and a DLL Peter Weyzen21-Jan-02 12:20 Peter Weyzen 21-Jan-02 12:20  I still don't know the correct answer to this one..... If you create a DLL and an EXE, both linked to use the DLL version of the RTL -- is it the case the the DLL and the EXE are using the exact same heap. Can you at this point, delete memory (in the EXE) which was allocated in the DLL? If they are not, how do they do it? How would they manage to dynamically allocate a different heap to each DLL/EXE? -p Re: new and delete -> across an EXE and a DLL Nemanja Trifunovic21-Jan-02 12:30 Nemanja Trifunovic 21-Jan-02 12:30  Peter Weyzen wrote: If you create a DLL and an EXE, both linked to use the DLL version of the RTL -- is it the case the the DLL and the EXE are using the exact same heap.

Any ideas as to what might cause this? Also, are there any good Memory Monitors( like boundschecker) that are free? Stephen Caldwell Blackfission, CEO Re: Violations Joaquín M López Muñoz21-Jan-02 12:05 Joaquín M López Muñoz 21-Jan-02 12:05  Also, are there any good Memory Monitors( like boundschecker) that are free? VC++'s C run-time library includes some rudimentary functions for out-of-bounds error checking and related stuff. Check MSDN article Debug Reporting Functions of the C Run-Time Library. Some samples are also included on the documentation. Not very powerful, but they're good as a starting point as they're free and ready to use.

I have a multi threaded app that creates worker threads. There are very few variables in the main app. I am getting strange memory errors. Is it possible the default stack size for the threads (= stack size of main) is too small? How can I find out how big it is? How can I find out how big it needs to be? I get no explicit errors, just lots of strange things. Thanks for the help, Bill Re: Stack size question Joaquín M López Muñoz21-Jan-02 11:29 Joaquín M López Muñoz 21-Jan-02 11:29  I'd say the default stack size is much more than necessary for the needs of normal apps. The only way a normal app can run out of stack size is because of some bug that causes an infinite chain of recursive calls to functions. But then again, you have no reason to suspect this is happening. My suggestion is that you try to look for another reason to your strange errors. If you describe the problem with more detail we could try to help you more than this. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo Re: Stack size question Bill Wilson21-Jan-02 13:35 Bill Wilson 21-Jan-02 13:35  My concern was that the actual stack requirements of a worker thread greatly exceeds that of the parent thread. The parent merely dispatches jobs to the workers. I thought maybe I didn't have enough stack space in the worker threads. The specific problem (at the moment) is with using Crystal Reports. I have a wrapper class (CCrystalReports) that uses the CR API (not the com object). The wrapper has been used successfully in several single threaded apps. I've tried this two different ways with different, but always disappointing , results. 1. Make CCrystalReports a member of the Worker thread class. This mode of operation had no memory problems as far as I can tell. Crystal Reports, however, failed to open the report file in this configuration. 2. Make CCrystalReports a dynamic in a method called by the worker thread. (So it is automatically destroyed at the right time. This runs for awhile, then blows when trying to return from the method. The actual blow up occurs in yet another program. The app I have been discussing supports a COM interface. Another program uses this interface to submit requests to the app, which then dispatches them to worker threads. The blowup comes in the Invoke call it returns the following error: (8007000e) Not enough storage is available to complete this operation. Any advice would be appreciated. This project has gone on too long! Thanks for the help, Bill Re: Stack size question Jamie Hale22-Jan-02 6:12 Jamie Hale 22-Jan-02 6:12  Hmmm. Are you using Oracle? From MSDN: ... applies to Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle, version 2.1, 2.5... The following error message may appear when 5000 records or more are retrieved, and when each record contains 4 bytes of data: 8007000e Not enough storage is available to complete this operation... Note that the computer is not really out of memory... To work around this problem, return recordsets larger than 4 bytes... This problem was corrected in MDAC 2.6 Even if it isn't Oracle, my guess is that it's the DB provider setting that error. Let me try to understand. Application A supports a COM dispatch interface, and contains the worker threads. Application B calls into application A through the dispatch interface using Invoke(), but that call returns the 8007000e error code. Is this right? If so, is the call actually getting into Application A? I have a feeling it is, and that the error is being propagated all the way back from your DB layer. I could just be making this sh*t up though... J ListControl in Outlook-style??? Grit21-Jan-02 11:04 Grit 21-Jan-02 11:04  Hi I'm searching a Control that enables me to write an application that has that special Outlook style ... I mean the ListView in Outlook where your emails are listed, where you can add and delete rows AND especially where you can form one or more group ... like group the emails after the sender and getting then a grey list of names with a '+'sign that you can open und seeing the emails from that person then ... I hope you know what I'm talking about. Please can someone help me and tell me where I can find such a control?? Thank you in advance Grit Re: ListControl in Outlook-style??? Matt Gullett21-Jan-02 11:17 Matt Gullett 21-Jan-02 11:17  I have not used this one, but I came across it a while ago. It looked pretty good. http://www.devexpress.com. I would not recommend trying to write your own. Not work the effort. Re: ListControl in Outlook-style??? Ernest Laurentin21-Jan-02 14:41 Ernest Laurentin 21-Jan-02 14:41  One of my favorite Outlook style control is Maarten Hoeben's Report control.

I've set up a view/document program that will open dialog boxes based on menu selections. The problem I have is getting information to/from the document class into a given dialog box. How do I do this? Is it better to be modal or modeless? It appears that the dialog box doesn't have a Getdocument( ) function. Did I do something wrong in defining the dialog box class? Re: Dialog boxes and Documents Joaquín M López Muñoz21-Jan-02 11:24 Joaquín M López Muñoz 21-Jan-02 11:24  Dialog boxes do not have a GetDocument function, because they're not normally part of the document/view architecture. As for modal/modeless dialogs, which one to use will depend on your needs: modal dialogs, when started with DoModal, block the rest of the program so that the user can only interact with the dialog until s/he presses "OK" or "Cancel" (the rest of the windows appear disabled and grayed out). Modeless dialogs, on the contrary, coexist with the rest of the app and do not block user input to other windows. I'd say modal dialogs are simpler to handle for a starter. The way to incorporate a modal dialog into your document/view app could be sketched along these lines: Let the MFC wizard create a CDialog-based class for your use, and add a CYourDocument * variable that gets initialized on construction time: you will have to add an extra parameter to the constructor of your class, just like this: CYourDlg(CYourDocument * pDoc,CWnd* pParent = NULL); The dialog normally will pop up on response to some command: add a command handler for it, and show the dialog as follows: void CYourFrameWnd::CYourCommand() { CYourDialog dlg(GetDocument()); dlg.DoModal(); } This way you have access to the document from within the code of your CDialog-based class. Hope the explanation has shed some light. The topic is much too broad to give but a small indication to get you started. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo Re: Dialog boxes and Documents Braulio Dez21-Jan-02 20:59 Braulio Dez 21-Jan-02 20:59  Hi ! Well, one way to solve the document problem that you have is to pass in the DoModal of the Dialog as a parameter your Document ( then you can play with the data inside your dialog having that pointer to the document), just override DoModal in your dialog ( you have to declare that virtual). Modal dialogs are easier to use ( for the programmer and for the users) than modeless, so maybe better to use modal dialogs whenever is possible and modeless only when is needed. A good place to look for answers is: http://www.deja.com HTH Braulio Re: VirtualAlloc...? Joaquín M López Muñoz21-Jan-02 11:03 Joaquín M López Muñoz 21-Jan-02 11:03  If what you're after is having commited pages with increasing contiguous addresses without imposing an a priori limit, you can always reserve the largest block of memory the system allows you to (which is 2GB minus some safeguard amount of memory for the rest of the program and libraries, say 1.8GB). After all, reserving such a huge block of memory costs nothing --the system is only doing some bookkeeping of your request. It's better to reserve this block of memory as soon as you can, so that the memory hasn't been fragmented by then. If you run out of memory after consuming the 1.8GB, then there's nothing more you can do: a process cannot simply handle more memory than that.

So far everything works. I declared a new struct using struct CONFIG { CString one, two, three, andsoon; } The main dialog has a member variable named CONFIG cfg Now my question: My second dialog needs to have access to this variable in order to read some values out of it How do I set it up in order to be able to read values from CONFIG cfg from my second, modeless dialog? regards Gregor modified 12-Sep-18 21:01pm.
