I prefer using a loop that you can fully control instead of killing the thread with terminate thread. The reason is if you want to make some 'clean-up' after the loop (ok, maybe infinite loop was not the right word but I meant a loop that finishes when one of the condition is met).

You are double-right.
First when say "maybe infinite loop was not the right" because registry is a finite stuff and sooner or later its scanning have to finish, regardless the user pushes "Stop" or not. 
Second, indeed for the sake of good recommendations we have to avoid TerminateThread, which in our case can let a registry key open for reading which can lead in unpredictable, catastrophic effects.

Using SuspendThread() and TerminateThread() is very risky, and not nearly as simple as you've described here. Before a thread suspends itself, it needs to ensure that by being suspended, the calling thread is not affected. If a synchronization object is being held by the thread, it would need to be released. Suspending a thread from another, without taking all of the precautions, is not a good idea because the thread being suspended might be in the middle of something important (e.g., memory allocation). This could result in your application entering a "hung" state. If a thread calls TerminateThread() on itself, there is no chance for cleanup. The thread goes away right then and there.

So, instead of SuspendThread/ResumeThread the right solution is...

I didn't indicate they couldn't be used. You have to be very careful when using them, however.

Avoid TerminateThread(). A thread synchronization should be implemented to allow the thread function to complete/end gracefully.

i am a new programer in mfc.now i met a problem.I want to draw objects such as line ,rectagle,stroke etc. and need these objects can be resize,move,rotate in interactive mode which means using track handles of interation with mouse.I can realize resize and move with CRectTacker and it works well.But the CRectTracker do not support rotate.Now i want to rotated these objcets. i can draw rotated objects in "GDI+" ,but not in the realtime mode.if someone have realize it , i will thanks for your helping in advance.Please give me some advice.i could not find some topics about this.

I assume MFC.
Setup a timer in the OnInitDialog() updated each second (or more or less accurate, depending on how accurate the current time must be).
SetTimer(100,1000,NULL);
In the timer handler, Update the editbox with the current time:
void CBuilderDlg::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent)
{
if(nIDEvent==100)
{
CTime t1;
t1=CTime::GetCurrentTime();
m_Editbox.SetWindowText(t1.Format("%H:%M:%S"));
}
else if (nIDEvent==1)
{
m_SplDlg.CloseIt();
KillTimer(1);
}
CDialog::OnTimer(nIDEvent);
}

Hi,
How do I get the serialnumber of the attached monitor ?
I use WMI to do some inventory management stuff and WMI will tell several things about the monitor, but apparentlig not the serial number.
Any ideas ?

Where is this serial number displayed?

I'll try to be a little more precise. The serialnumber isn't as such displayed on the monitor screen ( if thats what You mean ). It's more a question to get the monitor to tell its serial number. I have perviously seen a program, that could do that. So some interaction between the monitor an the CPU unit may be possible. At least - it seems - some monitors are capable of doing that. Perhaps in conjunction with "non standard" videoports. For instance the new digital porttypes.
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to answer.
Regards.

No. What I was getting at was if you know the monitor to have a serial number (i.e., have actually seen it displayed somewhere), then we can surely find a way of retrieving it.

Oh - now i get it. ( I hope )
Yes, we run a "professional" inventory management tool in the company. That's the program, that can do the job. I'll try to get som more information for You/us.

Does this inventory program work on all of your monitors or just a select few?

I think the monitor device only receives signals from the computer but is not able to send data back. Therefore I am afraid you will not be able to determine monitor’s information programmatically.
However you can get some information about video controller using Win32_VideoController WMI class.

Until recently I was of the same opinion as You. Big was my surprise when I saw a program that could do that. Please se my reply to David Crow for further details.
And, also thank's to You for taking the time to answer.

How can I insert data from a flat file like .txt file into SqlServer database.
|
|
|
|
|
Read the file data into a string and place it into the database firing some query for inserting data.
What problem are you having . Reading the file or inserting data in the database?
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

You can always use SQL Server's DTS utility. Or use the SQL command Bulk Insert
onwards and upwards...

Hi
I was using sendmesage function to a window in my DLL which is attached to other application using windows hook, mainly to get text from a control.
sendmessage(hwnd,WM_GETTEXT,(wparam)100,(lparam)sztext); To my surprise sendmessage was not able to retrieve text in sztext.
could the problem lies in the creator of application who has not properly written code in WM_GETTEXT case. I think he/she may not have written appropriate code to provide proper response when send message function with WM_GETTEXT is called.
Am I wrong in analysing
please reply if u have encountered a problem like this before
thanks

It's hard to say. Here[^] is an interesting article on WM_GETTEXT and GetWindowText.
