   The quick-n-dirty way is to call GetTickCount() before and after and compare the difference. However, the resolution of that function is not usually 1ms. For example, it is possible to call the function before and after a method that takes 5ms and get back a difference of 0ms one time and 15ms the next.

   If you need better accuracy, I would suggest a multimedia timer or something similar.

   it MIGHT help to call Sleep() right before calling into the function if you think the function executes is less than a quantum, to try to avoid a context switch while the function is executing.

   Peace!

If you're doing it in the development environment, use the profiler.

If you can get it to work (I remember having some "issues"), it is much easier and more accurate than using GetTickCount, etc.

Of course, in production software this is not available.

Hi all:
Is there any clues to solve the ordinary differential equations in C++??? Expecially for stiff equations. If there is any code available??

Thanks in advance

You can purchase "Numerical recipes in C", second edition, Cambridge University press. It contains C code for the most common ODE solvers (runge kunta 4 and 5 order, Ridchardson, Rosenbrock, Adams-Bashforth, and provide solid background on the math and tricks behind. Those methods covers borh normal and stiff ODE.
Unfortunatly, they give no code for Gear like methods, wich, to my understanding, are becoming very popular to solve stiff ODE.
The other drawback is the the C coding style. I have no issue doing maths in pure C in a C++ program, as it allow more time efficient code, but the C style in the book is not very nice and readable. I advice to use it as a canvas then rewrite things yourself.
There are other sources for C or C++ ODE solvers on the net. Most are in FORTRAN, not alwways well documented, and reverse engenering to get it in C or C++ is tough.
Take a look at www.gnu.org/software/gsl, it's a mathematical librairy in the GNU project and contains sources for many ODE.

I'm looking myself for a good C or C++ GEAR code, so if you find any, let me know Wink | ;-)

In your view's OnPrepareDC() method, play around with SetMapMode(), SetWindowOrg(), SetViewportOrg(), SetWindowExt(), and SetViewportExt(). I might have left a sample in the code for this article.

How are you creating your font for printing?

You can use CreatPointFont(), passing in the printer DC which will account for the higher DPI of the printer as compared to the screen. Or you could use CreateFontIndirect() and calculating the LOGFONT.lfHeight variable depending on the DPI of the printer

logfont.lfHeight = -MulDiv(PointSize, PrinterDC.GetDeviceCaps(LOGPIXELSY), 72);
MyCFont.CreateFontIndirect(&logfont);

I can't recall where I got the MulDiv formula from, but I am sure it is in MSDN somewhere.

   You can use FindFirstVolume(...) and its related functions to iterate over configured volumes (on systems that support volume management). Partitions are going to be a bit harder, because there could be Partition types on the system that Windows does not recognize (e.g. ext2, ext3).

   Getting just the configured drive letters only gets you the ones that are actually assigned to drive letters.

   You may have to actually read a drive's partition table - CreateFile(...) to open a physical drive using \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0, \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1, etc., and DeviceIOControl(...) to access partition information. Look up the PARTITION_INFORMATION and PARTITION_INFORMATION_EX structures in an updated MSDN Library (or online) for more information.

I think This Example is your answer
This Example For CStatic Control But for your answer
CStatic --> CListCtrl
Function Onclick -> your Function
in the BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP
you should use functions CListCtrl

//In cpp File
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CViewerView, CFormView)
ON_STN_CLICKED(ID_SCROLLSIZE, OnClick)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

void CViewerView::OnInitial()
{
....
....

CRect Rect;
m_ScrollSize.Create("",SS_BLACKRECT|WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|SS_NOTIFY,
Rect,this,ID_SCROLLSIZE);
}

in Header file////////////////////
#define ID_SCROLLSIZE 100;
class CAnswer : public CDialog
{
...
...

DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
public:
CStatic m_ScrollSize;
afx_msg void OnClick();
};

in the onclick event of the button; use the shellexecute command, and in the command to be executed write

hh ur-html-help-filename

so when u will click button hh will open the html file.

hh.exe is the program which executes the compiled html help files.

I will use the "What's this help" by using the html help functionas mentioned in the article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/htmlhelp/html/vsconovhtmlhelpapioverview.asp[^]

what I did is:
I took the function:

void CMainFrame::HtmlHelp(DWORD_PTR dwData, UINT nCmd)
{
HWND hwnd = HtmlHelp( GetDesktopWindow),
"c:\\Help.chm::/Intro.htm>Mainwin",
HH_DISPLAY_TOPIC, NULL) ;

CGuiFrameWnd::HtmlHelp(dwData, nCmd);
}

when I debugged I could enter the CMainFrame::HtmlHelp function after pressing the What`s this arrow and clicking left at any frame or window.
Then I found the information to use the HWND hwnd = ... function as mentioned above. Now I get the error HtmlHelp function does not accept 4 parameters.
As in the article mentioned the .lib is included and the path for <htmlhelp.h> is set.
So I have no clue what to do!!

Thank`s soo much!

How to ignore a group of warnings in a project "#pragma deprecated"

arunperi6-Feb-06 1:10

A group of warning messages are being displayed when the project is being built. Each of such message is being generated from every source file where this is being used.

Can any one help me out in supressing or deleting these warnings.

The warning is:
"warning C4995: 'CDaoTableDef': name was marked as #pragma deprecated"

Thanks,
---Arun.

if the name of the class is marked as deprecated, it is because you shouldn't use it anymore !
there is certainly another way to do what you try to achieve a bit differently...

Yes, placing
#pragma warning( disable : 4995 )
the above sentence would probably do good. But in my situation where I have a number of such messages coming from different files in the same project. Can I place it once in a particular location and avoid all such messages, instead of placing it in every source file.

Thanks,
---Arun.
