you mean you want to make something like a screen saver?
means, if any body does not do anything on the application for some time (say 10 mins) do you want to lock it by displaying the password screen.

thats very simple.
take a global variable say timeout=0;
initiate a timer in the main view, which gets invoked once in 1 second.
inside the timer,
{
increment the timeout by one
if(timeout==60)//say 60 seconds
{
show the password screen.
}
}

and in all the other events like opening a dialog, closing a dialog,
doing some frequent operations,
reset the timeout flag to zero.
i am sure this will solve your problem.

Since it is a Win32 Aplication (No MFC), there will be a message loop.
Like...

while( GetMessage( &msg, ....<br />
{<br />
TranslateMsg...<br />
DisapatchMsg...<br />
}

You have to modify it like...

<br />
SetTimer( IDT_LOCK, LOCK_TIME, 0 );<br />
while( GetMessage( &msg, ....<br />
{<br />
switch( msg.message )<br />
{<br />
case WM_LBUTTONDOWN:<br />
case WM_RBUTTONDOWN:<br />
case WM_KEYDOWN:<br />
SetTimer( IDT_LOCK, LOCK_TIME, 0 );<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
TranslateMsg...<br />
DisapatchMsg...<br />
}

And handle the WM_TIMER in the windowproc, like...

case WM_TIMER:<br />
switch( wParam )<br />
{<br />
case IDT_LOCK:<br />
KillTimer(IDT_LOCK);<br />
DialogBox( ...,IDD_PASSWORD,...<br />
//Do your code...<br />
SetTimer( IDT_LOCK, LOCK_TIME, 0 );<br />
break;<br />
}

Hope you got the idea... Smile | :)

How to display data continuously in edit box & How to avoid flickering in edit box

Hi,

Am getting data continuously from the serial port(COM), i want to display the data in an multiline edit box,How to do it?
I tried one method as below but edit box flickers
void CDialog::ReadSerialData(CString sIn)
{

sIn.Replace("\r","\r\n");
m_StrCmdResp += sIn;
int nLineCount = m_CtrlCmdResp.GetLineCount();
m_CtrlCmdResp.LineScroll(nLineCount+1);
m_CtrlCmdResp.SetWindowText(m_StrCmdResp);
nLineCount = m_CtrlCmdResp.GetLineCount();
m_CtrlCmdResp.LineScroll(nLineCount+1);
if(nLineCount > MAX_RUN_BUFFERSIZE)
{
m_StrCmdResp.Delete(0,REMOVE_CHAR);
while(!(m_StrCmdResp.Find("\r\n")))
{
m_StrCmdResp.Delete(0,1);
};

}
m_StrCmdResp.FreeExtra();
}
Can we use edit box for this type of data displaying

Thanks in advance

If you are shoing data coming back from somewhere, then an edit box is probably the wrong control to use.

I use CPPDumpCtrl - version 1.2[^] for this purpose, as you can see the data in different representations. As it is double buffered, flickering will be very low.

Sometimes, you're just using the square peg, and you have a round hole...

Well, as long as the length of the opposite corners is the same as the hole's diameter, it should still work.
