Ya.. here it is..
CTime theTime=CTime::GetCurrentTime();
CString startTime=theTime.Format( "%H:%M:%S, %B %d, %Y" );
WriteLogFile(startTime);
m_pMyDS->Play();
CTime getTime=CTime::GetCurrentTime();
CString endTime=getTime.Format( "%H:%M:%S, %B %d, %Y" );
WriteLogFile(endTime);
.......................
Play() is a memeber function of class MyDirSound.. which plays the wave file.. The same code for writing time works fine with the recording of sound module ..

I don't see any problems with this code... Are you sure your Play function lasts for 10 seconds ? Maybe the sound is played in another thread and thus the Play function returns immediately even if the sound lasts for 10 seconds
[EDIT] A way to check this: just after the Play() function, display a MessageBox. If it is prompted when the sound is playing, that means it is played in a separate thread, thus that's logical you have the same time before and after the function. If it is displayed when the sound is finished, the problem must be elsewhere [\EDIT]

hi ..
Thank you..
You are right.. The the message is prompted when the sound is playing.. I am using Directx's DirectSound to play the wave files.. I tried defining and calling the WriteLogFile(..) function in the MyDirSound class itself.. What must be wrong?..

But what do you want to achieve exactly ?? Measure the time of the sound sample ?
You won't be able to do it like that. Because as I said, if it is run in another thread, you won't be able to access it (even in your MyDirSound class). The thread is ran directly inside the DirectX layers so you don't have access to it. But (fortunately  ) there is probably another solution: normally there is something you can find in DirectSound (I suppose, because I don't know DirectSound) that will let you know when the sample is finished. Something like a callback function you can set or something like that. But in this field I have no knowledge so you will need to look in the doc of DirectSound. But I suppose they provided a way to do it...

Ya.. Thanx cedric.. There is a function called setcallback(..).. I will try it out..
thank you

Hmm, yes but before jumping on that, be sure that this is used to provided a call-back function that will be called when the sample is finished. It could be also a call-back that is called for some other reasons . Maybe also this will be called for several different events and passing an argument that describe which kind of event occurs...
So, before starting writing code, look at the doc to see if it fits what you are seeking for (just to avoid you losing time on things won't work  )
Also, if you have time, try to document a little bit about the threads (at least the basics: what it is and how they work, not be able to use them but at least understand what it is).

In CMyDirSound::Play() .. there is a call ..
m_lpDSB->Play(0, 0, DSBPLAY_LOOPING);// Play(..) member of IDirectSounBuffer
............
I tried saving times before and after this function call.. but both times are same.. all wave files which i am playing are more than 10 secs..

See my previous post.
Your function CMyDirSound::Play() is called in the same thread so there is absolutely no reasons AT ALL (I'm not shouting, just insisting on that point ) that it will be ran in a separate thread... You know what a thread is at least ? (I mean, for understanding this, it will be easier for you).
The thread is started inside the function of DirectSound and that's perfectly logical: imagine that all your application will freeze during ten second just because you play a sound

I try to load .cgm/.wmf file in VC++.The clarity of the image decreases if it is loaded in VC++.But the clarity of the image is retained if it is inserted in MSExcel.Since .wmf is Microsoft supported format it should be of same clarity in both MsExcel and VC++.Pls give me a way so as get the latter's clarity in VC++.

A wmf is a metafile, a sequence of instructions on how to draw an image. It cannot lose quality, all that can happen is if you draw the metafile onto an image smaller than the screen, then stretch that. The problem is almost certainly in how you load and display the metafile as a raster image.

I tried to load the image using render function.Then I tried with playmetafile functions.The problem is that the image drawn is not smooth in either way.But as I told before if we insert the image in MSExcel,it is so smooth.
I want to load a image in .wmf.I want the loaded image to be smoother.Pls send me any code snippets for that.

Hi
I have written an application which includes a timer and a thread. In debug mode everything goes on fine. But in release mode there's chaos. My application freezes when it starts. Please help me.

man, this crap is hard to read.
I recommend telling whoever is asking that they've greatly increased development time by not making this clear up front, and the rewriting it using a GUI framework that exists on both, or Java.

Since memmove() is the only buffer manipulation routine that guaranteed to copy the full source properly, is there any reason why we would want to use memcpy() instead of memmove()? I've since lots of people use memcpy() instead of memmove().
Thanks
|
|

I would say for performance, since memcpy wouldn't be performing the overlap checks. I imagine most of the time the gain would be so small that it's not worth the bother.

So, you think that we should use memmove() instead?
|
|
|
|

memcpy() is slightly quicker because it doesn't do buffer overlap checks, and the compiler is more likely to inline it because the code is a fair bit smaller.

OH! I'm stuck!
I have no idea what to do !!!
I created a dialog based application (as a matter of fact, my first REAL application).
from the main window I created another option window, over there the user can change the variables (just strings...) to custom his work.
the thing is that when the user will close the application all of his settings in the option window, obviously, will be deleted!
now, what I want to do is to let the user somehow the ability to save his
settings (the variables), and load them into a default file(for the example: "settings.dat" (without using an "open/save file" dialog from the CFileDialog class). in my quest to find the answer I read about serialization, but it really didn't do the job very well... I kept on getting errors and stuff (even by only declaring serialize in COption)
so my plan is: in the OnInit I will check IF the "settings.dat" exist (and I don't really know how to do that), if not, it will be created with default settings (I guess that is just saving, and by that the file will be created),
and if it does exist, it will be loaded.
and in the option window, using:
if(clsOption.DoModal() == IDOK)
in the main dialog, I will save the settings of the options.
so if all I wrote in the above is not a complete bullshit (sorry for the language), technically what I don't know what to do is how to check if the "settings.dat" exists or not, and HOW DO I SAVE AND LOAD???
I know these are big questions, but at least some clue.
I'm REALLY STUCK! 
THANKS EVERYBODY!!!

For lots of different settings, you should use serialization, xml, registry, or something else.
However, in your case, I think you probably just want to save and load a few settings and you are probably just starting the whole GUI business (thats what I understand you mean by "REAL application"  ). In that case I would use simple text based input/output to a text file, separating the different settings by some kind of delimeter (ie. a comma, a semi-column, or something like ;mysupercustomdelimiter). When you save to a text file settings.dat for ex., you separate all your settings by a comma. When you load you look for a comma and separate them into different settings. For actual text input/output you could use fstream's (ifstream/ofstream) I think.
This is not a very good solution in general, but it is probably enough to get you rolling.
If somebody feels this is a terrible advice, feel free to correct me and point out a better, SIMPLE way of storing settings.
Get used to getting stuck!  It happens on daily basis when programming, at least to me.

sounds like a simple idea that I can deal with
but how do I read from within the file (the text itself?) and write to that text?
