a file has to be read from the disk and put into memory
whether u do it in lil bits or one big a**ed lump
its all the same

Hi.
Is is possible to set up another location for the suo and ncb file? I have a temp-directory in my project directory where all the obj files are put. Before I backup I delete the tmp directory. I want that the suo and ncb files are also put in the temp directory.

Or are there tools that only backup the files that are *really* required?

I have a batch file that runs nightly in all of my development folders. It looks like:
del /s /q *.pch
del /s /q *.sbr
del /s /q *.aps
del /s /q *.pdb
del /s /q *.ncb
del /s /q *.opt
del /s /q *.bsc
del /s /q *.ilk
del /s /q *.clw
This keeps the larger files from taking up space on the backup tape unnecessarily.

Hi, I'm new in Visual C++, and I have a problem with a thread and the diferents values of the variables.
My thread is constantly (while(1){.....}) working with a variables and y would like to print their values on the main windows, but I can't use UpdateData(FALSE), because me thread is a global rutine and UpdateData is undefined.
So my question is someone could help my amd explin my how can I refresh the main windows with the news values.
I don't know if I have been enough cleared, but I hope you could understand my problem.
Thanks

There's hardly, if ever, a need to use UpdateData(). In your worker thread, simply post a message back to the primary thread (the one that owns the UI) with the values that have been updated.
To get a better understanding of what threads can and cannot do, I suggest:

Hi,
I would like to use the Panel component which is on the "Windows Forms" tab in the toolbox of Visual C++.NET
Unfortunately, the icon which representes this component looks like disabled.
How can i do to make it enabled ?
thanks.

Im creating threads and I want to pass a pointer to the threads, Is is possible to cast a pointer to a class into a DWORD, if so, how is it done???
Here is the code Im working with, its taken straight from the MSDN
void main(void){<br />
<br />
DWORD loadPerThrdID;<br />
HANDLE loadPerThrd;<br />
TCHAR szMsg[80];<br />
<br />
DWORD dwThrdParam; <br />
<br />
static WmiWrapper Wmi(NULL, NULL, NULL);
<br />
loadPerThrd = CreateThread(<br />
NULL, 0, <br />
loadPerThrdFunc,<br />
&dwThrdParam,<br />
0, &loadPerThrdID);<br />
<br />
if(loadPerThrd == NULL){<br />
wsprintf(szMsg, (TEXT("Create Thread failed for LoadPercentage")));<br />
MessageBox(NULL, szMsg, NULL, MB_OK);<br />
}<br />
else{<br />
_getch();<br />
CloseHandle(loadPerThrd);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
DWORD WINAPI loadPerThrdFunc (WmiWrapper Wmi)<br />
{<br />
................<br />
}
What can I do to get this to work, or am I completly out??????

Both a pointer and a DWORD are 32-bit values.
DWORD WINAPI loadPerThrdFunc( LPVOID param )
{
DWORD *p = (DWORD *) param;
TCHAR s[32];
wsprintf(s, "The thread value is %lu\n", *p)
MessageBox(s);
}

Im still lost,
You said that pointers and DWORD are 32 bits, but when I build the app, the following line warnss me that there is a possible mismatch
DWORD dwThrdParam = UINT_PTR(&Wmi);
gives me:
warning C4244: 'initializing' : conversion from '__w64 unsigned int' to 'DWORD', possible loss of data
but otherwise it passes fine, but how do I turn the parameter LPVOID param back into the object or at least a pointer to the object????

Most of the time they are. You are apparently doing some 64-bit work.
DWORD dwThrdParam = (DWORD) UINT_PTR(&Wmi); // potential loss of data
or
__w64 dwThrdParam = UINT_PTR(&Wmi);

Excellent stuff, that got rid of the warning, but again how, do I change it back inside the thread function

Was the example I provided earlier incorrect? If so, how is CreateThread() currently being called, and what does your thread function currently look like?

But how, by using this:
DWORD WINAPI loadPerThrdFunc( LPVOID param )<br />
{ DWORD *p = (DWORD *) param; <br />
TCHAR s[32]; <br />
wsprintf(s, "The thread value is %lu\n", *p) <br />
MessageBox(s);<br />
}
can I get to call the methods of the WmiWrapper class Wmi
Im calling the CreateThread method like so:
DWORD loadPerThrd = CreateThread(<br />
NULL, 0, <br />
loadPerThrdFunc,<br />
&dwThrdParam,<br />
0, &loadPerThrdID);

DWORD loadPerThrd = CreateThread(
NULL, 0,
loadPerThrdFunc,
&Wmi,
0, &loadPerThrdID);
DWORD WINAPI loadPerThrdFunc( LPVOID param )
{
WmiWrapper *p = (WmiWrapper *) param;
p->...
}

CreateThread() has a param just for this purpose: void* lpParameter. Set that to the address of the Wmi object. loadPerThrdFunc takes one parameter, again a void*, which you cast back to a WmiWrapper*
Note that you should be using _beginthreadex() and not CreateThread() if you link with the C runtime (which you probably are)

Did some modification in your existing code. This would help you.
For the passing parameter to thread, first cast it to DWORD and receive it in callback handler of thread,cast it back to its original type,now use it as you want.
void main(void){
DWORD loadPerThrdID;
HANDLE loadPerThrd;
TCHAR szMsg[80];
DWORD dwThrdParam;
static WmiWrapper Wmi(NULL, NULL, NULL); //Creating object
loadPerThrd = CreateThread(
NULL, 0,
loadPerThrdFunc,
//&dwThrdParam,
(DWORD) &Wmi, //Pass the object pointer as a thread parameter.
0, &loadPerThrdID);
if(loadPerThrd == NULL){
wsprintf(szMsg, (TEXT("Create Thread failed for LoadPercentage")));
MessageBox(NULL, szMsg, NULL, MB_OK);
}
else{
_getch();
CloseHandle(loadPerThrd);
}
}
//Threads function
DWORD WINAPI loadPerThrdFunc (DWORD param1)
{
WmiWrapper* wmi = (WmiWrapper*) param1;
//Now you can use this wmi class pointer.
................

No good,
First I think the WmiWrapper* is 64 bits, where as DWORD is 32, so this gives me data loss warnings,
Also the parameter is LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE, not DWORD, so this gives me an error.
Its alright because I have it fixed (see David Crows code above), but now Im getting a memory voilation when running, and its in one of the classes methods, I dont understand, because I was running the program without threads before and I didnt get this problem, I thought mabey it has something to do with the fact that Im creating two threads which pass the same object, but if I turn off one I still get the error

The 'WmiWrapper*' can only be 64 bits if you're compiling for 64 bit Windows. You would know this.
I think you get the warning because MS have made the SDK headers 64 bit compatible and introduced some new MS special bits to allow this. In the future a DWORD won't be compatible with a pointer.
Anyway the parameter to CreateThread is 'LPVOID' not DWORD so in 64bit Windows that will be a 64 bit pointer and all will just work.
Anyway I would expect something like
DWORD WINAPI loadPerThrdFunc ( LPVOID param )
{
WmiWrapper* wmi = reinterpret_Cast<WmiWrapper*>( param );
}
loadPerThrd = CreateThread (
NULL,
0,
loadPerThrdFunc,
&Wmi,
0,
&loadPerThrdID);

That is all right.Thanks for correcting me.
The memory violation that you are facing may be due to that you are creating a local object.when you are creating the thread and passing the pointer of it. but after creation of thread, the control come back in the main function and the local object will got out of scope.still the thread is running and trying to access it by the pointer and cause the memory violation. if this is a problem then you can allocate the object by 'new' operator. so when you don't want it you can deallocate it manually.
