Hi
Why you don't put your cleanups in your destructor function?
|
|
|
|
|
Because some objects need to be cleaned up in OnClose. I have a perfect example of that - we have a timer thread that runs from program start to program end. We have to kill and delete the thread in OnClose because the thread needs to delete an array that uses pointers to statusbar panes which have already been "cleaned up" by the app by the time the destructor is called for CMainFrame.
So you see, everybody's needs are different. Asking why a programmer needs to do something does NOT help him. If you don't know the answer, or can't otherwise contribute something useful to the thread, at least resist the urge to ask stupid questions.

"From a log file the cleanup generates"?????
What's happening, mention clearly? How OnClose is getting called more than once?
Anyway, the other way is, Override CWinApp::ExitInstance(). Here, u can place clean up codes.

Are you putting the OnClose handler in each view or in CMainFrame?
If it's just in CMainFrame, it will only be called once. If it's in your view class, it will be called for every instance of your view object.
If you're cleaning up poointers that are global to your app or that are instantiate in your app or mainframe class, you should handle the OnClose only in CMainFrame. If you need to cleanup pointers that are local to your view object, you need to handle OnClose in the view as well.

Sorry, forgot to mention, I'm doing this in a dialog application. So it was in the CMyDlg::OnClose().
As somebody else mentioned, I have set the pointer to NULL after deleting it, but that doesn't seem to work either:
if(pPtr!=NULL)
{
delete pPtr;
pPtr=NULL;
}
Any ideas?

One other thing, which no one has mentioned: When you delete an object, reset the pointer to NULL:
void MyApp::OnClose()
{
delete MyObj;
MyObj = NULL;
}It's perfectly legal to issue a delete against a NULL pointer. This also removes the need to check the pointer value first as well.

A long time ago, I got in the habit of checking to make sure the pointer needed to be deleted before deleting it, and then setting it to null (even in the destructor of the container class). The old ways are the best ways.

Yeah, I know. I was in the same habit from my 'C' days. The 'delete NULL' thing only works in C++ AFAIK. In C, calling free(NULL); had unpredictable results, depending upon the run-time library implementor. I would imagine it's part of the standard, now.

Hi,
How to change the dialog's caption at run time, I tried this by calling
(GetDlgItem(IDD_DIALOGiID))->SetWindowText("Test Dialog Caption") in OninitDialog method, but it is not working.
Warm Regards,
Mushq

Don't know y r u calling GetDlgItem(). This function is used for Child windows/controls in a Dialog.
U can directly call SetWindowText ("Test Dialog Caption") from any member of Dialog.

|
|
|
|
use this->SetWindowText
If u can Dream... U can do it
|
|
|
|
|
Try SetWindowText("Test Dialog Caption");
|
|
|
|
|
this->SetWindowText("MYDIALOG");

Hi
I have been created a class called CMine in a MFC Dll project and in another MFC project I created an object if that class (I added header and lib file to the project).
I found that I must write __declspec(dllexport) before all functions in my CMine class, is there any way to avoid this, or just declaring one thing?
Thanks
|

|

Declaring _declspec(dllexport) in front of each and every member is not needed. Just write like this in the dll:-
class _declspec(dllexport) CTest
{
public:
void fnTest()
{
...
}
};
In .EXE:-
class _declspec(dllimport) CTest
{
public:
void fnTest()
{
...
}
};
It will surely work.
};

Use FindFirstFile(). It accepts a structure, WIN32_FIND_DATA.
ftLastWriteTime member of this structure contains the modified time.
