Your problems have nothing to do with threads.
A single threaded application can handle multiple socket connections.
Yes, there can be advantages to using multiple threads, but your socket
code is already not going to work so adding threads won't help here.
Here's just a few problems with the code you've shown...
1) I don't know what "OnListen()" is
2) There's no benefit in creating a new thread to accept a connection
3) Why does the new thread start a listener socket
4) You can't accept a connection on a listening socket
There's nothing in the code you've shown that indicates that you know how to use
sockets. I would recommend getting that down pat before trying to throw threads at
the problems.

I did not know that.

I'd really appreciate if you could tell me how or recommend a site i can read about that. I woild really appreciate because that's what i need.

You've said that a single threaded application can handle multiple socket connections. What then are the advantages of multiple threads in a socket connection?
Mark Salsbery wrote: 1) I don't know what "OnListen()" is
Okay. It's a function that i have put so that i can initialize in OnInitDialog instead of clogging it with lots of code.

A bit harsh  but truth be told, you've hit the nail on the head.i am a begginner programmer working with a "Learn Visual C++ in 21 days" and trying my level best. Infact, i am making my very first socket program. Could you please recommend a site.

To use sockets in a single threaded application, you can use the
WSAAsyncSelect() function. This will cause messages to be sent
to a specified window when the socket events you select occur - particularly
useful for when an incoming connection request is received, when there's
data available to be read on a socket, and when a connection is closed.
The advantage of multiple threads is the same advantage as any multithread
application - the app can take advantage of multiple processors for better performance
with parallel processing.
I didn't mean to be harsh at all - just honest. Take the time to learn at least the very
basics of sockets and things will work much better for you in the long run - I know this from
experience 
Some basic things to know inside and out -
1) The essential socket APIs (study these in the Winsock SDK):
socket()
bind()
listen()
accept()
connect()
WSAAsyncSelect() (or WSAEventSelect() to use asynchronous socket ops on a separate thread)
recv()
send()
shutdown()
closesocket()
2) A basic understanding of blocking (synchronous) and non-blocking (asynchronous)
socket modes, and how the mode is changed on a socket.
I wish I had some links but I don't. There's a few great articles here at Code Project
but the search isn't bringing them up at the moment grrr.

Hi,
I have noticed two strange when I used the Following Typdef
Typdef struct
{
char a;
int b;
}
looking in memory Using The Visual Studio to Build and Debug
the int "b" takes four bytes
and also seems both a and b start boundry divisible by 4
as there are three slack bytes between a's value and b
IS there maybe a compiler option /Noalign to prevent this
Thankx

#pragma pack(1)
struct Test {
int a;
char b;
};
#pragma pack()

The #pargma pack(1) tell the compiler not to align ????
|
|
|
|

Have you tried putting #pragma into msdn? then following for pack?
Simple answer is pack(1) tells the compiler to pack on a 1 byte alignment. pop says "go back to what you were doing before".

Hello everyone!
I'm designing a OOP-based system in C++, and I'm having a little problem. Say I have this:
class Class1
{
virtual void Draw(Image *a_pImage);
};
class Class2 : public Class1
{
virtual void Draw(Image *a_pImage);
};
Class1::Draw takes care of ugly low-level stuff, and that's a lot of code. How can Class2::Draw call Class1::Draw so that I don't have to copy-paste all of the code in Class2? In C#, for example, you used base.Draw, but base doesn't exist in C++...
Thanks!

void Class2::Draw(Image *a_pImage)
{
// add extra code for Class2 draw
Class1::Draw(a_pImage);
// add extra code for Class2 draw
}

Huh? That easy? I was expecting an extremely long message explaining how to delicately trick C++ into doing what I wanted... Thanks , Rajkumar!

Class2::Draw() is virtual by default. The virtual keyword is unnecessary.

Hello,
I have three applications; A, B and C. A always stays in foreground and has focus. B an C run in background. B receives messages from A via socket. I need B to send Shift/Ctrl/Alt + key to C based on A's messages. I've tried CKeystrokeEngine, and it works some times but not all the time. Is there anything I can do to CKeystrokeEngine and change it's behavior so that it works all the time?
|
|
|
|
|
I just had a look into the CKeystrokeEngine class, it seems it depends on the keybd_event API and depends on the SetForegroundWindow and it is not sure that the window will be the active window to receive the keyboard event as CWindowEngine::FocusWindow() always return true without checking the return value of SetForegroundWindow API. if my assumption is correct B and C no longer be said as background app as it is brought to foreground every time a keystroke is to be send
As the A, B, C all r ur application and ur already communicating using sockets, i would suggest that u use ur own protocol in the same connection and interpret the key strokes, it doesnot require the window to be active foreground window.

I can't change A or C. B is the only app I am writing and have control over.

Have you tried PostMessage() with the WM_KEYDOWN message?
|
|
|
|
|
Sh*t/Alt/Ctrl keys can't be sent using postmessage.

njhy wrote: sh*t/Alt/Ctrl keys can't be sent using postmessage.
Wrong. Those keys can be sent by using PostMessage()
::PostMessage(myHwnd, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_SHIFT, 0);
::PostMessage(myHwnd, WM_KEYUP, VK_SHIFT, 0);
This code will send a shift key press and release event to the window with the handle myHwnd. And similarly you could send just any key press event, even multiple (simultaneous) key press events.
Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself. - Cicero
