Hi,
this question is not a VC++ question but i put it here because VC++ developers are the best.
I want to write software that uses computers on a LAN to and use there processor resourses, synchronize them, to gain a huge processing power, I may use tens to hundreds of workstations on the LAN.
Another point about sharing resourses:
when I want to share processor resourses, can I have special hooks on the system such that when I run a program( say 3dmax), the processing load will distribute on the network nodes? Can this be done???
by the way: I heared that a company created a screen saver that is used to share processing resourses (when the leaf computer is idle), all nodes are controlled by the company's computer. How could they run there own code (that did not ship with the screen server) on leaf computers???
any ideas are welcome?
Thanx All,
Mohammad Gdeisat

I am having a problem with the mmioOpen() method when I attempt to open a wave file which is located inside a folder which has a period in it (ex: My.Folder). Any ideas?
if( (m_hmmioFile=mmioOpen(m_szName, lpInfo,MMIO_ALLOCBUF | MMIO_READWRITE | MMIO_CREATE )) == NULL )
{
}

It might help to explain what the problem is. For example, what is the value of the wErrorRet member of the MMIOINFO structure?

Hi,
I am trying to create a tree control with check boxes property set to true, but the check boxes are not visible at runtime. Also, there is so much confusing data available on Tree Control like TVS_CHECKBOXES styles etc. so its not clear. Am working with VC++ 7.0 in .NET please help!
Thanks in advance!!

Hi, This article was good! Need more help in capturing the 'check' event of the tree control(class CTreeCtrl). I am trying to check for the checked state of an item in NM_CLICK, but the check box doesnt get checked later(when does it get checked?).Please help

ROTFL. Sure, why not. Let me just pull it out of my....
Seriously, you must be kidding. Is this homework, or for fun ? Either way, you won't learn anything by asking for the full source, and it's a hell of a thing to expect someone to just give you.

I have a UI thread that works but I'm trying to figure out how to reliably stop the thread. The OnIdle function in the thread periodically calls WaitForSingleObject on a particular event, if it's set, it calls PostQuitMessage that we are quitting and then returns 0 to signal it doesn't need to run anymore. Half of the time this thread and the main one deadlock, sometimes I get some CResourceException and I don't trust it to stop the thread cleanly. I've read plenty on how to terminate the thread but it feels like it's not enough and doesn't always work. Does anyone have any pointers or a good way to stop the thread cleanly from outside of the thread?

Hi,
I use a function from a library and it is declared as a __stdcall(WINAPI) in the header file. When I use this function in my executable I get a linker error (unresolved symbol _FunctionName). The project links correctly only if I change the calling convention for the project from __cdecl to __stdcall.
Does anyone know why is this so? The header properly defines it as an __stdcall, why then do I have to change the project settings? Or am I missing something and doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Actually, the third party library itself is entirely compiled with __stdcall convention and therefore the header file does not have a __stdcall for the declarations.
Now, if I am to use this library in my project, how can I re-declare the function prototypes specifying __stdcall for each of the functions. Or is there any other workaround rather than changing my project settings to __stdcall.
Thanks in advance.

How will I be able to create a Installer of my Application. There might be some applications out there about creating your own installer but how about creating your own. Do you guys have any idea on how to create your do-it-yourself installer and be able to create shortcut icons (desktop, start menu) for your application? Just wondering if it is possible. thanx

It's obviously possible, any installer app does just that within a framework. I use an installer package though, there are plenty of free ones to do msi installs ( I ended up buying the full version of mine tho ) The one I use is called advanced installer.

I've tried advanced installer and found it cool, then the idea of creating my own installer interface came up.

Just hoping if I could do it, but I think I have to use the advance installer anyway

Do you mean code your own installation program? Seems to be re-inventing the wheel to me but if that is what you want to do, then this [^]might give you a starting off point.
If what you really want is a free program that will create a setup for you then this [^]might be what you are looking for.

How will I be able to know the complete path of the tasks on the task manager that are running under windows 2000 and above?
Using CreateToolHelp32Snapshot, Process32First and Process32Next displays the information of a file that are running on your taskbar. Windows ME and below displays the complete path of the source exe file which allows you to get to the source and do something about it like checking its CRC but Windows NT, XP only displays the filename without its complete path. How will I be able to know the complete path of the exe file that are running on the taskbar? Thanx in advance

Are you referring to the szExePath member of the MODULEENTRY32 structure? If not, you should be.
