I guess you are not calling UpdateData(FALSE).

No, UpdateData is used only when the variable associated with the list control is a string. If it is a CListCtrl (what it is in this case because he uses the AddString member function), that works perfectly without using UpdateData.

Wrong. AddString() is a member function of CListBox and CComboBox not CListCtrl.

thread suspended state

Hi!

I need to know if a thread (possibly in another process), given by a handle or id is suspended or running. I didn't find any solutions in MSDN or google, except that SuspendThread returns the suspend count, if it's >0 then the thread is suspended. But I'd like to query this for all the threads of all the running processes multiple times a second, so it wouldn't be very efficient to suspend/resume them all the time.

Anyone got a better idea?

I'm also working on dialog based application. When I click the buton create, it opens ms word and creates my document.

// this is the message map activated when the button is click
void CReport::OnButtonCreate()
{
_Application oWord;
Documents oDocs;
_Document oDoc;
Selection oSel;
Paragraphs oPar;
// these are declarations for ms word objects

// Create an instance of Word
if (!oWord.CreateDispatch("Word.Application"))
{
AfxMessageBox("Word failed to start!");
}
else
{ // Set the visible property
oWord.SetVisible(TRUE);
// Add a new document
oDocs = oWord.GetDocuments();
oDoc = oDocs.Add(vtOptional,vtOptional,vtOptional,vtOptional);

oSel = oWord.GetSelection(); // get the next possible input position
oPar = oSel.GetParagraphs();
oPar.SetAlignment(0); // set alignment, left, right, center, justify
oSel.TypeText("text to be shown");// this simulates a user typing text onto the document.
}
}

use the above only if u need to use ms words functions.

alternatively, if you do not need to make use of any ms word function,
use ShellExecute

Look for ShellExecute in MSDN.

From MSDN:

::ShellExecute(handle, "open", path_to_folder, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

handle is the handle to your parent CDialog, path_to_folder is a string containing the path to your MSWORD document.

You can use CreateProcess(...) for this. Look at it in MSDN.

~~~~~~~noob framework question

17-Aug-05 20:08

hi. i had previously been programming in c# but didnt like it because in order to run my programs the client needed the .net framework. i downloaded visual c++ 2005 express edition beta 2, and created a form. i compiled it and it ran with my computer that has the framework installed, but when i ran it on my other computer, which doesnt have the framework, i get:
====
(file path)

This application has failed to start because the application configurating is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
====
what do i have to do to make my programs run?

thanks

was it a managed C++ project (which needs .NET framework - v2.0 on VS2005) or an MFC/Win32 project ?

uhh, im a noob.
i went to file > new > project
and selected visual C++ > win32 > win32 console application
and i also tried visual c++ > clr > clr console application

so then: if i learn and use this mfc sh*t, the client computer wont need the framework?
thanks!

mfc sh*t ? hey, if you don't like it, don't use it ! Frown | :(

but yes, mfc don't need .NET framework. your program will just need some mfcxx.dll depending on what mfc version you coded with (mfc42.dll under VS6, mfc70.dll under VS7...)

ok. thanks for the help. i still have a few more questions tho Smile | :)

.

1- where do i get the mfc DLL and do i include it in the same directory as my app (if not, where?)
2- can i code the mfc stuff in the designer window
3- is there a way to convert my code to mfc, or will i need to start my project over
4- how do i start coding w/ mfc? i have vc++ e.e. 2005
5- is mfc a language by itself
6- does the above question make me an idiot lol

use MFC as a linked library ; this way, you'll have to provide the needed dll with you exe if you want to be sure you program will work on machines which don't have the dll yet.

create a new solution/project in C++ with MFC (exe, not dll project). which code do you want to convert ? i believe you'll have some reflexion to re-adapt you code to MFC.

Sam Kline wrote:

no, the language is C++. MFC is only a framework (a set of functions that you program will work upon).

4- Use the keyboard (that thing with lots of buttons with different symbols)
3- No, yes
2- No
1- If you don't want to bother with the MFC dll you can link statically. Otherwise you can put the appropriate dll (release version only) in the app directory. If you can develop in MFC your computer will have all the dll's.

I was reading about VC++ Express Edition on MS site earlier this week - as far as I remember, it DOES NOT support MFC, only SDK-level programming and Managed C++.

I could be wrong of course, since everyone else is telling you about doing MFC in VC++ EE 2005.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
