If it is, would it be okay to initialise AND execute whatever objects (classes) I need inside InitInstance? Thanks, David Re: Threading and non User-Interface Classes Antti Keskinen17-Jul-04 7:04 Antti Keskinen 17-Jul-04 7:04  Straight answer: Yes, it is alright. Creating and executing objects in the CWinThread::InitInstance is ok as well. Detailed: To create a non-GUI (worker) thread, just create a function that will run on the thread (just like WinMain runs on the primary thread). Then call AfxBeginThread a pass it a pointer to the function. When you wish to end the thread execution, just return from the function. You should use CWinThread objects only when you have a GUI thread. Although it is safe to use a CWinThread object with a worker thread, it's a waste of resources. Only use a CWinThread object if your new thread requires a message pump. If it doesn't need it, just create a function that executes on the new thread. For more information, see AfxBeginThread in MSDN. -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible.

Creating and executing objects in the CWinThread::InitInstance is ok as well. But I heard something before.... Although it is safe to use a CWinThread object with a worker thread, it's a waste of resources. Ahh, I see... Only use a CWinThread object if your new thread requires a message pump. Flawless explanation as usual, Antti. I thought there would be some sort of a considerable difference between using or not CWinThread, but I just didn't know what/how. As usual, you've enlightened and pointed me in the rihgt direction. Thanks a lot Antti, David dNimrod#X ________________________ Re: Threading and non User-Interface Classes PJ Arends17-Jul-04 7:39 PJ Arends 17-Jul-04 7:39  This is a question, not a critism of your answer AfxBeginThread returns a CWinThread pointer. So what is the difference if one uses a CWinThread derived class and simply returns FALSE from the OnInitInstance() function, or one calls AfxBeginThread() with a pointer to a function? Does not AfxBeginThread() end up creating a CWinThread object anyway, so how is one a bigger waste of resources than the other? I have so far used AfxBeginThread() for small uncomplicated threads, and CWinThread derived classes for more complicated threads where I can group helper functions all within a class structure.

Re: Threading and non User-Interface Classes Antti Keskinen18-Jul-04 3:29 Antti Keskinen 18-Jul-04 3:29  There are other resources than those used by the code. Deriving, designing and implementing the CWinThread-derived class that is to operate as the GUI thread also takes time, which is a crucial resource in a software project. As such, doing this process for a thread that wouldn't necessarily require it is a waste of time/resources, even though the impact shouldn't be considerable. Writing a single function is easier, I think. However, this is more of a point-of-view issue than an actual problem, so let's just agree that both solutions are just as good to use -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible. Static lib Atlence17-Jul-04 5:46 Atlence 17-Jul-04 5:46  Hi! Is there a way to compile a library into a "static version" so that when you link to an application, it doesn't need an extra DLL? For example, I would like to compile Ingo A. Kubbilun's code (http://www.codeproject.com/docking/IngoExpBar.asp) so that my application doesn't need the DLL to run properly. Thks in advance! Appstmd http://www.atlence.com Re: Static lib Antti Keskinen17-Jul-04 7:09 Antti Keskinen 17-Jul-04 7:09  Yes. In Visual Studio .Net (2003), create a new Win32 project using the wizards. For Application Type, select "Static Library". Add MFC support if you need to. And off you go. Not sure if this is possible in VC6. But in VC .Net it is. -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible.

Re: about using ActiveX in dll bikram singh17-Jul-04 9:01 bikram singh 17-Jul-04 9:01  Im not aware what FlexGrid is, but there have been similar problems with MS Richedit control causing the dialog creation to fail. In this case, you were supposed to call AfxEnableControlContainer(), then all was well. Maybe you should try calling AfxEnableControlContainer() or some other function, depending on what FlexGrid uses? Maybe InitCommonControlsEx() ?

If you do, be sure to test that the error still occurs before posting it !

Johan Rosengren17-Jul-04 2:49 Johan Rosengren 17-Jul-04 2:49  Easiest will be to process the input char-by-char. Use a state machine, switching states when you reach a '<' or a '>', adding the finished tags or between-tag-content to arrays as appropriate. As a matter of a fact, you should have state changes for spaces and '='s inside the tags as well. Re: How to parse an HTML-like file??

Jörgen Sigvardsson17-Jul-04 13:27 Jörgen Sigvardsson 17-Jul-04 13:27  A SAX-parser would probably be the best solution for you. They're fast and they don't require lots of memory. Parsing XML using SAX-parsers is kind of like recursive descent parsing if I'm not mistaken. When the parser finds an element <img, it'll call your callback, notifying you of that. Then when it finds href="img", it'll call your callback notifying you of that. So, basically you need two (possibly three) callbacks. One for notifying you that you've <img has begun, one that tells you href="img" was found, and possibly one that says </img>. Here's one such parser: libxml2[^]. It's licensed under the MIT License, so there's no problem using it in a closed source/commercial application. -- Ich bin Joachim von Hassel, und ich bin Pilot der Bundeswehr.
