If dialog A is the parent of dialog B (which it sounds like it should be), you can simply call GetParent() anywhere from within dialog B.

Any idea how to create a hyperlink on a dialog so that when I click on the link it would open a document. I know it can be done using a button but would prefer if someone would show me how to implement a hyperlink
Kind Regards

You can find several hyperlink controls here[^]. Set the target to "file://myFile.txt".

Set Notify and Owner Draw style to the button (do not use Static control, because Static cannot be owner-drawn)
In draw routine, you should draw a blue underlined text
Handle a BN_CLICKED of the control:
ShellExecute(NULL, _T("open"), _T("http://www.mff.cuni.cz"), NULL, NULL,<br />
SW_SHOWNORMAL);
Enjoy!

Do I need to synchronize simple data types (int, DWORD, bool etc.), when I write to the (static) variable in one thread and read it in another. Does windows ensure that it will not switch to another thread during writing of one value? What do I have to remark.
Thanks for any answer.
Regards Konrad

different thread will not write or read or write/read the values at the same time... but a thread can set a bool value to false just after you have read it as true.
So that could cause a problem, Its better to have critical sections for these static variables.

But I think i need to declare the static variable with the keyword volatile, or is this not correct?
Konrad

|
|
yeah it should be volatile.

Look at the InterlockedExchange() and related calls.
(on a 80x86 based system, a bool or char will be read/written in an atomic operation, though I don't advise it outside of very narrow circumstances.)

Thank you very much, that helps. But with InterlockExchange I must write a new value to a variable. What if I just want to read variable and ensure that this is atomic?
Do the variable have to be declared as volatile.
Sorry but the MSDN library is very short concerning this issue.

If you only read the variable, you don't need to synchronize anything 
If you simultaneously read and write to the variable, only the writing operation should be interlocked.

Thanks for your answer, but in the MSDN Library I found the following sentence:
Simple reads and writes to properly-aligned 32-bit variables are atomic.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/interlocked_variable_access.asp
What about other variables like char (8bit)? Isn't it possible, that during the read process another thread writes to the variable with InterlockedExchange. After this the read thread is reading the second part of the variable. It gets corrupted, because it wasn't an atomic read. What about other variables like 8, 16 bit. Are reads always atomic?
And do I need volatile for these variables if I write to them only via InterlockedExchange.
Thanks for any answer
Konrad

You do not need to use volatile if using InterlockedExchange.
Reads/writes to/from 8 bit values are atomic on x86 platforms.
Do note that if you must guarantee a specific sequence of reading and writing, you'll need to use more complex synchronization methods.

I think you're right. 8- and 16-bit writing should be atomic too. The operation is made by only one assembler instruction MOV.
Volatile declaration is necessary, because it tells to compiler, that its value may be changed every time by another thread. For example, if you're referring to the variable multiple times in one thread, the compiler should optimize it by storing its value in register. If another thread changes the value, you have a different value in memory and register and the program could not behave correctly. Volatile declaration ensures, that the value of variable is always taken from the memory.

Assuming you have an edit control with the ES_MULTILINE style, you can do something like:
CStdioFile file(_T("c:\\boot.ini"), CFile::modeRead);
CString strFileLine,
strEditLine;
int nLine = 1;
while (file.ReadString(strFileLine) != FALSE)
{
strEditLine.Format(_T("%d %s\r\n"), nLine++, (LPCTSTR) strFileLine);
m_edit.ReplaceSel(strEditLine);
}

Thanks for ur reply..
Sorry i am asking silly questions..as I am new to MFC...Actually i want to
1. open C source file with standard coloring of keywords of C langauge ..&
2. a new view window which display line number & have capabilty to set break-points ..(like M VC++ editor have)
3. a shared vertical scroll-bar between these windows.
I am using RichEditView class for other operations like get line number on double-clk,etc..

what is the best way to debug a service in vs 6.0..
|
|
|
|
|
Is the service writen by you??
If yes set the breakpoints and press f5
P.R.A.K.A.S.H
|
|
|
|
|
There are a few ways really. Normal Breakpoint F5 debugging is tricky as im sure you have found out due to the way the SCM starts the service.
I usually write my app as a normal app then turn it into a service when its done, but if thats not possiable you can use hardcoded breakpoints
Put the line "_asm int 3" into your service's code and you find when you run the service you get a dialog asking you to debug the app. Press cancle and you will be taken into the debugger

hello,
I want to prevent user shutdown.
I am catching the WM_QUERYENDSESSION message and returning a 1, which occording to the
inline help should stop the shutdown process.
It works on occassions but crashes on others, it seems to be completely inconsistent too...I know i am cathing the WM_QUERYENDSESSION so its not anything else...
Is there something else I need to do???
Thanks in advance

I believe that should be a 0.

Hum, I don't get the same info in MSDN:
From MSDN, Platform SDK: Windows System Information
"Return Values
If an application can terminate conveniently, it should return TRUE; otherwise, it should return FALSE.
Remarks
By default, the DefWindowProc function returns TRUE for this message.
Windows NT/2000/XP: When an application returns TRUE for this message, it receives the WM_ENDSESSION message and it is terminated, regardless of how the other applications respond to the WM_QUERYENDSESSION message.
Windows 95/98/Me: After all applications return TRUE for this message, they receive the WM_ENDSESSION and they are terminated. "
HTH,

Hi!
I'm about to learn mfc so for the moment I'm just playing around. I'm trying to create a plain window using the CFrameWnd class. The Create funtion takes a parameter called lpszMenuName. msdn gives the following explanation:
lpszMenuName
Identifies the name of the menu resource to be used with the window. Use MAKEINTRESOURCE if the menu has an integer ID instead of a string. This parameter can be NULL.
So my question is: How do you identify a menu resource with a string instead of a integer ID. Also, MAKEINTRESOURCE gives me a compile error.
