CAnimateCtrl crashes when going out of scope

first of all, edit your post (don't repost all, use the edit link), and put all your code into <pre></pre> tags, so that we can rean your question more clearly.

use also the < and > buttons for your for loops

Hi there!

I’m trying to use the CAnimateCtrl in a CDialog based class so that I can use it as a kind of CWaitCursor thing, that will show a “Please wait…” message an plays a AVI.
Now, since I would also like to use the “XP Theme”, I’ve defined a “manifest” as a resource, and as a result the AVI file will not play.
In order to make it work, I tried to use a thread as the one in the MSDN sample (CAnimateCtrl::CAnimateCtrl in MFC Library Reference).
The problem is when the CAnimateCtrl is being destroyed it takes too long (?), and it also makes the application crash. The MSDN says that "... If you create the CAnimateCtrl object on the stack, it is destroyed automatically."

Below you can see the most relevant (I think) parts of the code. Can someone please tell me what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Did you use your debugger to see where it crashes exactly ?

Moreover, don't post a large segment of code like that (and also use the pre tag to format it a little bit better so that it's readable).

Hi,

Sorry about the formating...

The debugger is only showing some assembly, and the call stack is somewhere in the MFC...

Not much help...

So start peeling away little bits of code until you are left with only what's necessary to reproduce the problem.

Hello,

For what I can see, if I change the thread so that I can call it as a function, the problem also happens... So it's not a thread thing.
But I don't know hat else can I do...
Any ideas?

Thanks for you time.

Hi,
Can we use a bitmap as a background to a dialog by writing the suitable code in OninitDialog function .

Thanks in advance,
Radhika.

See WM_PAINT:
Use BitBlt()/StretchBlt() if you want to set the image as a background on the dialog

I need to find the Spanish and Italian translation of the text which is displayed on the windows message box buttons: OK, Yes, No and Retry. Can anyone provide them, or point me to somewhere where I'd find them myself? I also need the translation of the the word "Back" (as in back to the previous menu) for French, German, Spanish and Italian - google translator seems to interpret it as back-side!

Joel, i think you can ask this in the Lounge... it is general enough to be asked there Wink | ;)

moreover, you'll get more answers, as the Lounge counts much more people, coming from different technical forums...

AFAIK, microsoft has a web page with translation of the common "microsoft" control text. Search the msdn for that, or even this forum, there was a thread about that recently.

Turn the want return property of the edit box to true.(If you like to)
m_strEdit = "one"+"\r\n"+"two";

In the properties pane there are messages which you can override.
If you override WM_LBUTTONDOWN it should generate a routine called OnLButtonDown.
At least this is the way I do it.
Hope this is what you are looking for.

case WM_MOUSEMOVE:
if(wParam & MK_LBUTTON)
{
   // Do something when the left mouse button is down.Take coordinates
   // Check POINT pt={LOWORD(lParam),HIWORD(lParam)};
}
break;

Hope that I understood you correctly
