We have a forum for COM and another for .NET related queries. This is the C++ forum.
PS: You have very little scope of getting an answer there too, because your query is vague. You might want to read up on COM Interop though...

You sure can have your opinion, but you'll know if the community thinks your query is clear when they balance out your 1 votes on my posts.
Not to mention you posted a COM question on the C++ forum.
transoft wrote: Just because you don't know it?
I mentioned COM Interop in my previous post. Did you even bother reading up on that, instead making of affronting comments?

You know what is rude? Posting a completely vague query on a wrong forum, and insulting someone who tells you to post it in the correct forum (that, I told along with a suggestion on what should he start reading up on) is rude.
I only said that if everyone else agrees with me, they'll balance out his unjustified low-votes. I don't see how was that rude, but if that's rude, so be it. I'm done with this thread.

Hi
I know when you create a object
on the stack e.g CDialog mydailog
whitin a method of another Dialog
and method ends the object you created
whitin it is destroyed
However what if you create the object
on the heap e.g. Via new operator
would the object remain
I guess you create a thread via
AFXbeginthread it rerun a pointer
to a CWinThread and I have noticed that
after the object which created it end
the thread is stil around
|
|
|
|
|
AFXbeginthread creates an object on the heap.
so what is the question ?

So when the function that creates it goes
the Thread still exists
|

Yes, if you create an object on the heap, it will remain until you clear it off manually (I mean - by using delete if created with new or with free if created with malloc).

No, after the thread function returns, the CWinThread object deletes itself (unless you manually set the m_bAutoDelete to false).

An addendum, if I may...
If you create an object on the heap, it'll remain there until you clean it up... or the process under which it was allocated is terminated, at which point it'll be cleaned up by the OS.
The critical point to understand is this. If you allocate memory once in the course of your program and don't delete (or free, whichever is appropriate) it, it's not a big deal - the OS will clean it up. You get into trouble when you allocate blocks repeatedly and don't free (or delete) them. It's true that the OS will still clean it all up when the process terminates, but the longer the process runs the more memory it 'leaks', with detrimental effect on the whole system for the duration of the process' lifetime. This is why it's considered to be good form to always free any memory you've allocated.

I had kept that off deliberately in order for the OP to come up with a query of "What happens if I do not clean it up?". Also, it would do good go the OP if you replied to his query directly (because he will receive an email notification - now, I've received it).

Sorry I messed up your subtle plotting.

Meh. My reponse was meant to be an addendum to your response - it's at the right place in the thread as far as I'm concerned. If the OP turns out to be too lazy to read the thread he started, I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

Well, usually a newfree, delete and/or other "destructions" to avoid overflow or undesired remanence. Specially with pointers.

Well, except for the fact that memory allocated with new should be cleaned up with delete, and NOT with free...

Right. Instead of "new" should be "heap". My bad

I am launching a worker thread . Inside the thread function i open CDialog's using DoModal().There is no problem in the first launch of the thread.
But in second launch the stack seems to get corrupted, the CString member variable of the Dialogs show values like "C4".. "D5" etc before even they r initialized in the Dialogs contructor(i.e when the execution is within the constructor).Even after Initializing the dialog's CString variables in constructor the variables do not get initialized, they still show "C4" etc
psuedo code below:
line 1:CWelcomeDlg dlg;
line 2:dlg.SetTitle(strDialogTitle);//Set the dialog Title
line 3 :ret = dlg.DoModal();//show dialog
//Constructor
CWelcomeDlg::CWelcomeDlg(CWnd* pParent /*=NULL*/)
: CDialog(CWelcomeDlg::IDD, pParent)
{
m_strData1=_T("");---->m_strData1 shows value "C4" and cannot b initialized to empty string.
m_strData2=_T("");--->m_strData1 shows value "C4"
m_strData3=_T("");--->m_strData1 shows value "C4"
}

Pls note that the above problem is seen only in the Release mode

Does your program otherwise work ok? If yes, then take into account that the debugger might fool you, afterall, it IS a release build, we sadly have seen such "odd" occurances many times when trying to debug release builds, the "tooltips" VS displays when pointing at a variable during runtime to show you the value of the variable (or the quick watch window, or or or...) would show all kinds of exotic, strange values which clearly aren't there (you can for example check this if you bring up a message box showing the value you are interested in formatted into a string, in your case, the string itself i guess...).
p.s: ah yes, and as others said, try to avoid creating secondary UI threads because they mean a lot of trouble...

Please note that you have an article to read[^]. 
In addition to that, I'd second the opinion of other poster, who asked you not to touch the UI from within a worker thread.

don't do UI in the worker thread; ask the main application thread to do it by sending messages and using event and things like that to keep everything synchronized.
read :
http://www.flounder.com/workerthreads.htm[^]
and everything thread related on that site.

Is the second launch waiting for the first to be ended?
If not... you may have problems with DoModal () multiple calls. Would not be better to use ModalLess dialogs?

Is strDialogTitle of type CString? If then is it shared across threads?

Hi friends,
I am having just one month of experience in network programming. I want to sniff TCP packets using Winsock. I could right the code for that as below. It worked on XP 32 bit but not on Vista Home 32 bit machine.
SOCKET sniffSocket;
if((sniffSocket= socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_IP))==SOCKET_ERROR)
{
return 0;
}
struct sockaddr_in src;
memset(&src, 0, sizeof(src));
src.sin_addr.S_un.S_addr = inet_addr (pAdapterInfo->IpAddressList.IpAddress.String);
src.sin_family = AF_INET;
src.sin_port = 0;
if (bind(sniffSocket,(struct sockaddr *)&src, sizeof(src)) == SOCKET_ERROR)
{
return 0;
}
int j=1;
if (WSAIoctl(sniffSocket, SIO_RCVALL, &j, sizeof(j), 0, 0, &in, 0, 0) == SOCKET_ERROR)
{
return 0;
}
char *pkt_data = (char *)malloc(65536);
int res;
do
{
res = recvfrom(sniffSocket, pkt_data, 65536, 0, 0, 0);
...
...
}
while (res > 0);
...
...
The above code is working fine on XP. I could sniff TCP/IP packets (in pkt_data variable) this way. But when I run the same code on Vista, I am able to trace only UDP/IP packets. Can anybody tell me please why is it not working on Vista? I mean what is the problem with my code that I cannot sniff TCP/IP packets?
My second query: A system can have multiple adapters/devices. When we type a web-site address on a browser, we don't tell which adapter to connect to. Browser automatically opens adapter that is connected to internet. How it does that? I mean how can I detect which adapter is being used for internet connection? Is there any Winsock API for the that?
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Aseem

Please use the code block to post code snippets (as it stands your code is unreadable).
Please elaborate, i.e. what does it mean 'it doesn't work on Vista'? Are you getting errors? Are you getting a misbehaviour (detail it)?
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.
