Hi ptr_Electron,

I believe you just need to download the latest version of Debugging Tools for Windows[^]. I believe Dr. Watson is available in the Extra Tools installation.

problem in reading characters from a file..

Hi all,

i am making my application unicode supporting one. i have to read content from a file..(say a notepad file)..

i have the contents in this format: "rakesh","male"
"shekar","male" etc.,

When i read the content, it is reading as "rakesh","male"(one squarebox)". when i debugged, i found the hexadecimal value of the box as FEFF which is UNICODE_BOM value..(if i am correct)..

So,after some operations(trim operations),it will come as "rakesh","male"" which leads my final output as rakesh" , male;

how to get rid of that square box? why is it coming actually? if i remove that square box, i can overcome this double quote prob. i think...

Please let me know if am unclear in my question..

Thanks,
Rakesh.

It sounds like you are make a call to fgetws() or a similar function which doesn't remove the new line character at the end of the string.

Thread Event Objects

Hallo i have the following problem:

i need to start and end a thread by using Event Objects in MFC, following is the code in the ThreadView.cpp:

Event m_threadStart;

Event m_threadEnd;

ON_MESSAGE(WM_CREATE, OnCreate) // causes a casting problem

void CThreadView::OnStartThread()
{
m_threadStart.SetEvent ();
}

void CThreadView::OnStopThread()
{
m_threadEnd.SetEvent ();
}

int CThreadView::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct) // defined in ThreadView.h liks this: afx_msg OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
HWND hWnd = GetSafeHwnd();

AfxBeginThread(ThreadProc, hWnd, THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL);

return 0;
}

LONG CThreadView::OnThreadended(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
CString strThreadEnd = _T("Thread ended.");

AfxMessageBox(strThreadEnd, 0,0);

return 0;
}

UINT ThreadProc(LPVOID param)
{
CString strThread_Start = _T("Thread aktiviert.");
CString strThread_Stop = _T("Thread deaktiviert.");
CString strThread_Caption = _T("Thread");

::WaitForSingleObject(m_threadStart.m_hObject , INFINITE);

::MessageBox((HWND)param, strThread_Start, strThread_Caption, MB_OK);

bool bKeepRunning = true;

while(bKeepRunning)
{
int nResult = ::WaitForSingleObject (m_threadStart.m_hObject ,0);

if(nResult == WAIT_OBJECT_0)
bKeepRunning = false;
}

::PostMessage((HWND)param, WM_THREADENDED, 0, 0);

return 0;
}

First the Compiler bring an error c2440: ON_MESSAGE(WM_CREATE, OnCreate) // causes a casting problem
I can not cast.

Something is terribly wrong with this code , please help.

For custom messages that are mapped using ON_MESSAGE the handler must have a signature that returns an LRESULT and takes 2 parameter of WPARAM and LPARAM.

So your OnCreate function must look like this -
LRESULT CThreadView::OnCreate(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);

have a look at this

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k35k2bfs(VS.80).aspx[^]

look carefully at "The type of the function must be afx_msg LRESULT (CWnd::*)(WPARAM, LPARAM).", their example

// implementation for WM_MYMESSAGE handler
LRESULT CMyWnd::OnMyMessage( WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam ) 
{
   // ... Handle message here
   return 0L;
}

vs yours ..

int CThreadView::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)

interestingly, your "OnThreadended" ie

LONG CThreadView::OnThreadended(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) 
{
CString strThreadEnd = _T("Thread ended.");

AfxMessageBox(strThreadEnd, 0,0);

return 0;
}

appears ok

Thanks for your help.

Can you tell me please how can call or access a global variable or a function defined in th Doc.cpp or anyaother class from inside UINT ThreadProc (LPVOID param)?

UINT ThreadProc(LPVOID param)
{
CTestDoc* pDoc = GetDocument(); // error: GetDocument() is not defined???
ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);

::WaitForSingleObject(m_Thread_Sel_Start.m_hObject , INFINITE);

::MessageBox((HWND)param, strThread_Start, strThread_Caption, MB_OK);

CSQLCommand::FindSQLCmd(pDoc,m_strSelect);// error :m_strSelect is defined in the CTestView.h but he can not find it , pDoc is already unkown

bool bKeepRunning = true;

while(bKeepRunning)
{
int nResult = ::WaitForSingleObject (m_Thread_Sel_End.m_hObject ,0);

if(nResult == WAIT_OBJECT_0)
bKeepRunning = false;
}

::PostMessage((HWND)param, WM_THREADENDED, 0, 0);

return 0;
}

Can i define the UINT ThreadProc(LPVOID param) in the CTestDoc.cpp?
And why when i declare UINT ThreadProc(LPVOID param) in the CTestView.h i get this error:
error C3867: "CTestView::ThreadProc": use "&CTestView::ThreadProc".

and when i use &CTestView::ThreadProc i get a csting problem that can not be solved through an explict cast.

May I politely ask you to read about if-else statement[and other conditional statements] and also the loops

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.
