Thanks for all the ideas everybody. This project is just something I would like to try in the near future. I guess I have a bit more reading to do before I make a start.

Hi all,

I have explored the MSMQEvent in VC++. But i can't get a Clear Picture, which is used to Capture the Arrival of any Message from the End User to invoke the MSMQ Service.

I want an example on MSMQEvent, Not all other stuff on MSMQ. please help me out.

U r looking for objects in a class or objects of a class? If it is the later, ie how to track the the number of objects created for a class, u can use below demo.

class InstanceCntDemo{<br />
<br />
private :<br />
	static int nCnt;	<br />
public:<br />
	InstanceCntDemo(){<br />
		nCnt++;<br />
	}<br />
	static int GetCnt()<br />
	{<br />
		return nCnt;<br />
	}<br />
};<br />
int InstanceCntDemo::nCnt =0;<br />
<br />
int main(){<br />
<br />
	InstanceCntDemo ic;<br />
	InstanceCntDemo ic1;<br />
	InstanceCntDemo ic2;<br />
	InstanceCntDemo ic3;<br />
<br />
	int nCnt = InstanceCntDemo::GetCnt(); <br />
};

Does this make sense?

Cheers MiltonKB.

Limiting an application to single instance...problem? [modified]

Dear all,

I had one MDI application and I want to limit its execution to single instance.

I had tried source code from lots of articles (i.e Newcomer's, Naughter ...Armen...)

it will work ...but while closing the second instance it raises an exception ...

Abnormal program termination!!!

This exception generated from "WinMain" when the
"pthread->ExitInstance()" get called...

How can I solve this ?

I am using Windows XP SP2 .....and VC++ 6.0

Thanks in advance......

How will u get second instance?

There are no direct APIs or functions to identify which is second instance or third instance and so on.
Why do u need second instance?
What exactly is the problem u r facing?

If something is crashing in the ExistInstance in the second time, you have to find out which statement is crashing.

It may be because, u r trying to access an un initialized variable there which may get initialized in the first instance as InitInstance will execute completely in the first instance.

But in the second instance you may bypass those initializations and exits after the 'previous instance' checking. Then when control reaches ExitInstance it will crash as what ever u r accessing is not initialized. Just a thought. chk it out.

Hi,

Sorry.......

I don't need the second instance......I want to prevent all other instances while one is there..

then.....

I fix it .....

I made a mistake in the "return statement" after finding the previous instance of that program in the 'InitInstance()' of my App class.

I was written like this...
BOOL CMyApp::InitInstance()
{
if(IsthereApreviousInstance(....GUID))
{
AfxMessageBox("Already one Instance");
return FALSE; // This is wrong
}

}

The above code will work but an exception will raised...

So I put it like this....

exit(0); // in place of "return FALSE"

Ok.............Thanks....to all

When the first instance starts execution, the very first thing it should do is check for a mutex, if not found it should create one. When the second instance starts, it should check for the mutex, when it finds it it should terminate.

Look at the CreateMutex() and GetLastError() functions.

I'm not sure where to do this in MFC, but in Win32 these routines are the first to be executed in WinMain(). Also note all of this should be done before creating/reading any other variables.

I have a header file containing all these functions and a few more like handling Command line paramaters, and handling MultiUser/MultiDesktop environments. (A modified combination of CP examples). If you like I will send it to you.

How to vopy data pointed by a "Void* " pointer to "CString" object

13-Aug-06 23:15

Hi,
I have to copy the data pointed by "void*" to a CString object.
Which is the best way?

code:

void* pVoid = 0;
CString csData;
pVoid = new BYTE(100);

// Do some thing

// ??? (Here I have to copy data from void* to CString.)
delete[] pVoid;
AfxMessageBox( csData );

Thnx in advance.

Use a typecast i.e.

csData = (char*)pVoid;

You should probably validate the data in pVoid first, not sure how CString would respond if the data wasn't NULL terminated.

void* pVoid = 0;
CString csData;
pVoid = new BYTE(100);

I would do the following:

memcpy(&csData, pVoid, 100);

//I would use a #define for the 100 tho because it make sit easier to understand

Now this has copied the data from one object to another WITHOUT using a reference.

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