He probably wants to use the string in a managed environment, like .NET.

I thought the "to Managed String" part was a dead giveaway.

Hi,
I have an SDI project, My View is derived from CFormView which contain a list box and some other controls.
I would like to maximize (and not only to center) the list box and the other controls when the user maximize the application windows .
How can i do it ?
Thanks.

Add a handler for WM_SIZE in your CFormView derived class. Then use SetWindowPos(...) on your different controls. (You'll have to assure the controls have been created, cause this function will be called once before the controls have been attached to any window handles.)

Hi everybody,
I want to get the documents´ icon in a MDI application. When I try to use GetIcon() from CMDIChildWnd HICON is a null pointer. Also when I try to use GetIcon() from CMDIFrameWnd it returns NULL.
By the way I use this in my windows-recorder...
Any ideas?

Hi!
Maybe try to get CDocTemplate from CDocument, then access m_nIDResource attribute: LoadIcon(nIDResource). This attribute is not accessible, so You may need to derrive class from CDocTemplate (CMultiDocTemplate to be exact) in order to access this attribute.
Hope this helps

I want to make an ActiveX control with VC++ (MFC). This control should have a toolbar.
How can I do that ? I tried to create the toolbar like this:
if (!m_wndToolBar.CreateEx(this, TBSTYLE_FLAT, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_TOP | CBRS_GRIPPER | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC) ||
!m_wndToolBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_MAINFRAME))
{
TRACE0("Failed to create toolbar\n");
return -1; // fail to create
}
This is how it is createed in an standard MFC (.exe) SDI project. This doesn't work. (no error, but the toolbar doesn't appear).

strncpy does not append the terminating null character when the copy runs up to the maximum number of characters specified in the third parameter. Replace your last two lines with:
int nLen=strlen(strExePath) - strlen(pdest);
strncpy(strIniPath, strExePath, nLen);
strIniPath[nLen]='\0';
strcat(strIniPath, ".ini");

Hi
if i allocate 2 new char arrays like:
char *pChars1 = new char[8];
char *pChars2 = new char[10];
can i be SURE (i.e. nothing other may happen) that when i use pChars1[8] get the first char of the second array (= pChars2[0])?
For example think of a string which is 7 chars long. Then i set pChars1[7] non-NULL. Then a string-read at the start of pChars1 would give the string consisting of the first and the second array?
If this is not possible, is there a compiler-switch to make this work?
Thanks
Dominik

No way, no how. Instead you'd need to do this:
char * pChars1 = new char[18];
memset(pChars, 0, 18);
char * pChars2 = pChars1+8;

To expand a little on Chris' answer:
When you ask for 8 char's of memory, thats all you get. You have no control over how the Runtime environment allocated that, and you don't need it. If you need two logical blocks of memory to be next to each other, then allocate one (bigger) block.
if you allocate a char[8], then referring to element 8 of that array (which you don't own, you own 0-7), is technically a protection fault. Whether or not it crashes your program is a matter of the alignment of the planets.

Hi,
I use VC++ 6.0 (SP5) (i use MFC), and wish to design a multithreaded application.
I have the following problem :
for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
{
// Launch may be 4 or 5 threads
AfxBeginThread(thread1);
AfxBeginThread(thread2);
AfxBeginThread(thread3);
AfxBeginThread(thread4);
}
but i would like to execute ONLY ONE thread at time. (if i do not synchronize them, i will have 4*N threads at the same time !!!).
I am confused : what should i use : CSemaphore, CEvent, WaitForSingleObject(), WaitForMultipleObjects()....
Can you help me !
Thanks.

Have the ThreadFuncs of the threads synchronized with a CRITICAL_SECTION (the same for all of them). This post of mine shows a convenient way to do synchronization with these objects.

Bit confused. If you want only one thread running at a time, you could always not bother with threads and be single-threaded. That way you only get one thread running at once. Surely you're missing the point of multi-threading if you block them all to single thread execution?

You can create each thread in suspended state and then resume them one by one waiting for each to finishing.
But like someone else siad, why create threads if you are just going to serialize execution.

I accept with TimSmith's reponse for Multithreading Synchronization. It's always better to create threads in suspended state and then start running in the next step.
Here the important thing is to create a thread pool. Like restrict your application for only these many threads.
I prefer you guys to refer "MultiThreadinding for Rookies" in MSDN.
Thanks

Thread pools are useless if you are serializing all activity. The whole point of threads are to:
1. Take advantage of multi-cpu systems.
2. Allow other operations to continue processing if one thread is stalled waiting for resources.
If all your threads are CPU bound, then you are actually hurting performance by using threads.
