For use as inter-thread locks -- are mutex's better than critical sections?
They both seem to work just fine...

Each has its own pros & cons. It all depends on your requirement and situation.

critical section better

Critical section is a little faster as it does not require a context switch to kernal mode. Mutexes have the advantage that they can be named and shared between processes.

If Under Same Process Critical Section would be better otherwise Mutex!

Hi all,
I have a probelm with the help file of my project. I have a user interface. if the user focus on the control ( such as button, editbox, combobox, etc...) and press F1, i need to display the help file for the focussed control. I created the help file and linked everything. But now the problem is, if i focus on edit control and press F1, help file open and minimized to taskbar. But for other control, it opens in the maximized window. I use the same function to display the help file for all control.
Can anyone please help me in this to make the minimized help window in taskbar to a maximized window in the display?
Thanks in advanve.
Regards,
Ram

Use spy++ to look at what messages are sent to the controls and the help window when you press F1. You should be able to see what the difference is and code around it

Does anyone know how to set the keepAliveTime on a per (tcp) socket basis? I know you can change the system wide value by changing the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters, but I thought I read somewhere that you can change it on a per-socket basis on Windows 2000 and later ... but I just can't find any examples anywhere...
cheers,
Neil

I don't believe it can be changed per-socket, only per-process, and it's likely not what you want to do anyways.
See: http://tangentsoft.net/wskfaq/newbie.html[^] 2.13.

There is none per socket, you probably want to implement an application specific keep-alive mechanism (e.g. for a faster detection time of dead connections). I can recommend reading the book "Effective TCP/IP Programming" from Jon Snader.

Hi. I tried to detect all running user applications (no all processes) and close them all. Obviously this is a usual function that has been existing in many programs.
I used the ::EnumWindows API to enumerate all the windows. There are a lot of irrelevant result so I have to use some filters. One of them is to filter out the invisible windows.
But unfortunately this filter also filters out the applications that was minimized in to a tray icon. But if I turn off this filter, a lot of irrelevant system processes and other hidden windows will get through as well. I have no way to tell which one among them is user application, which one is not.
I noticed that the taskmgr program in windows has the same problem. It doesn't display the tray icon programs. Instead, it only displays their processes in the processes list.
I have imagined that if there is API to enumerate the applications that has a tray icon, it would solve my problem. Or maybe there is a better way to get the list of user applications rather than using ::EnumWindows, but I have no clue about it.
So anyone of you has a thought?
Thanks very much!

Just a guess, but take a look at EnumProcesses and/or CreateToolhelp32Snapshot. According to MSDN these functions can be used to list all processes running on the system.

Hey I'm a rookie and I want to get familiar with WFC libary.
I have problems in installing (using) this libary. I followed all the steps from the Tehnical Notes but I can't get it to run. I get this message error:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING! You are compiling for a version of NT before 4.0, you may have problems in the RAS stuff.
You will probably have problems in the RAS stuff.
Don't be suprised is TryEnterCriticalSection fails too.
To get rid of this warning, add WINVER=0x401 to the Preprocessor definitions in the project settings.

I maneged to built the WFC.lib, but I can't use it. I would really need some
help or suggestions. I can't go on without this. Thanks.

I've never used WFC before but from the error message, build the debug build of the WFC library. Make sure it's named DebugBuildOfWFC.lib and make sure that the linker can find it on one of the paths.

Thank you for your response, but how can I BUILT THE DEBUG of the WFC library?
I builted the wfc.lib . I have two *.lib files in WFC directory (WFC.lib, UnicodeSTLWFC.lib) I don't know how to make the DebugBuildOfWFC.lib

It should be one of the configurations for the project.

Hi everybody. Long time no messaging. I got an easy question. How can you make a window with a thin (2D) border? BECAUSE I DID THIS IN THE PAST! Less than 3 weeks ago! And now I can't do it any more. It's incredible! I'm totally frustrated! I tried combining so many flags that I think I went through all the possible combinations except the right one.
Take for example this simple way to create a window in a standard Win32 application. This shoud create that 2D window but it's still 3D!!! I remember that in the past when I removed that WS_THICKFRAME attribute, it looked 2D. But it isn't working any more. Aaaaaaaaargh!!!!!
<br />
LRESULT CALLBACK WindowEngine (HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)<br />
{<br />
return DefWindowProc(hwnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);
}<br />

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)<br />
{<br />
MSG Msg;<br />
WNDCLASSEX wceData;
HWND a;<br />
<br />
wceData.cbSize = sizeof(wceData);<br />

Hi Richard. Nope, unfortunately it doesn't help. Did you try WS_BORDER with the code above? If you put that WS_BORDER style, the window will still have a title bar. There is not noticeable difference between WS_BORDER and WS_CAPTION.
Pf... totally weird. WS_POPUP | WS_BORDER creates something of a 2D window but I am definitely sure that I was able to create a window with caption, maximize, minimze buttons AND 2D ASPECT! And now I can't do it no more. Aarggggghh! I'm so pissed off! I gotta dug up from the grave some of my old code apparently.

I need a way of limiting the user to enter only integers. The code below goes in an endless loop if any character other than a digit is entered on the screen. I can not use the isdigit() or isalpha() functions as they can only be used for character types. How should I change my test condition to accommodate this? The data2 variable is of type int.
while ((data2 <= 0) || (data2 > 12))
{
cout << "Please subunit number: ";
cin >> data2;
cin.getline(buffer, 99, '\n');
}

Do you mean to have your range of valid values to be (-inf, 0) U (13, inf)? I think you mean to do this:
while (data2 >= 0 && data2 < 12)
{
cout << "Please subunit number: ";
cin >> data2;
cin.getline(buffer, 99, '\n');
}

I want to allow integers greater than zero and less than 12. Initially I used the && operator. But when I type in a number out of this range, it jumps out of the while loop and never asks me to enter a valid number. Oddly enough, it worked with the || operator with the screen prompting me as appropriate for numbers out of range. But the program fails in both cases if I type in a non-numeric value.

That will allow all integers below or equal to 0 or greater than 12, but reject anything that is from 1 to 11. What you want is: (data2 >= 0 && data2 < 12).
