That's fine, you just have to make sure PostString persists long enough (and unaltered) to be handled by the GUI thread. One way to do this is alloc PostString in comm thread, and free PostString in GUI thread. If you are sending a _lot_ of strings then the repeated alloc/free overhead _may_ become an issue.

Hi all.
How I can get control's id "(Name)" property of a control of other process (vb6 app) via windows api?
Please, help me.
Thx in advance.
Best Regards,
Marco Alves.

first, thank you for your reply.
Sorry, because I've a bad english. But trying to do my best. 
Okay, suppose I have a VB6 app. I put a listview on my form and name it lvwProducts. Now, I compile and run this simple app.
Now, in another app (a C# .NET 2005 app) I want do get the name of that listview, i.e., the name of the listview that is on another process (my vb6 app). First, I got the handle. with the listview handle I want to get its name.
get it?
Ah, I've downloaded a code from http://blogs.msdn.com/brianmcm/ but it only works if the listview is on an .NET process. but, in my case, the other process was written in vb6.
to use that code I do something like that:
string controlName = GetWinFormsId.WinFormsUtilities.GetWinFormsId(hWnd) // where hWnd is the handle of my listview.
the code is here (sorry, I don't know how to format the code here):

My goal is to confirm if the control name of the current hWnd is the name that I want to.
|
|
|
|
|
If you have the control's window handle, compare its ID using GetDlgCtrlID().

Normally, when I want to replace string, I will write the code as
CString str="aaa-bbb";
str.Replace("-","");
The answer is
str = "aaabbb"
my problem is if
str = "aaa"bbb"
How to write the code to get the same answer?
bacause, if I write the code as
str.Replace(""","");
The complier don't allow me to do that.

Try this:
str = "aaa\"bbb";
and
str.Replace("\"","");

You can escape quotes using \".

I read some file and put it to this string.
So, this String contain many of ' " '.

hi,
i want to create a outlook like application in that i want to create two views left is tree view and right is the list view but the problem is-------
i want a caption bar with a close button in the left view that work dynamically and in the right view i just want to create a list view with caption only no button.
please give me any idea about it how we can do this.

First, copy this function:
<br />
void ModifyStyle(HWND hwnd, DWORD dwRemove, DWORD dwAdd)<br />
{<br />
DWORD dwStyle = ::GetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_STYLE);<br />
DWORD dwNewStyle = (dwStyle & ~dwRemove) | dwAdd;<br />
<br />
::SetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_STYLE, dwNewStyle);<br />
}<br />
Call it like this: ModifyStyle(window_handle, WS_SYSMENU|WS_MINIMIZEBOX|WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, 0);
This will remove all the buttons in the caption bar.
However, I don't know how to make just the close button appear without making it a tool window.

#define MACRO_FUN(b) { if(b) return; printf("2");}
inline void Inline_Fun(bool b)
{
if(b)
return;
printf("2");
}
void Calling_Fun()
{
//Inline_Fun(true);
MACRO_FUN(true);
printf("1");
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
printf("\n\t");
Calling_Fun();
printf("0");
printf("\n\t");
return 0;
}
When I call 'Inline_Fun(true);' o/p is 10 ..... while When I call 'MACRO_FUN(true);' o/p is 0. Why like this? ( I am using VC6)
I want to return from 'Calling_Fun()', when control reached to 'return' statement of 'Inline_Fun(bool b)' < same as in 'MACRO_FUN(b) >
Thanks & Best Regards,

what is o/p? You have a serious flaw in your macro. When you define a macro, the preprocessor replaces the code where ever you used the macro. So when using MACRO_FUN, at compile time the code would look like
void Calling_Fun()<br />
{<br />
if(true) <br />
return; <br />
printf("2");<br />
printf("1");<br />
}
But you inline function, will not do the same. The return statement will exit the function and return to the Calling_fun() function then print your statements.
|
|
|
|
|
a macro is a text replacer.
given
void Calling_Fun()
{
MACRO_FUN(true);
printf("1");
}
the preproccessor gives to the compiler the following:
void Calling_Fun()
{
{ if(true) return; printf("2");}
printf("1");
}
A inline function is -instead- an ordinary function that is compiled in the including unit. No preprocessing is involved, so the return in your inline_Fun returns from the function.
There is no way to do what you ask in the way you expect because the language semantics is not as you intend.
a workaround can be the use of exceptions, but if you are in trouble in distinguishing a macro semantics from a function semantics, that's not the way to go.

Hi, I use the following code to get the name of the current desktop, but the buffer is not filled.
char s[MAX_PATH];
DWORD l;
...
GetUserObjectInformation(GetThreadDesktop((DWORD) GetCurrentThreadId), UOI_NAME, s,l);
...
Why this happens?
Is there any other methods to get the name of the current desktop?
|
|
|
|
|
Your last parameter to GetUserObjectInformation() is wrong. It needs to be the length of the buffer in the third parameter ("s" in your case). In your example, the value should be MAX_PATH.

Hi,
In a current project we have massive problems of locating memory leaks, so I was ordered to write a class using the PDH performance log functions that allows to take performance shots (used handles, allocated memory etc.) at specific points. On this way we want to locate which actions of the program are the big memory eaters and where we have to concentrate on, or if the whole problem is a memory leak at all or maybe simply a fragmentation problem.
As I'm new to PDH I wanted to ask, which counters I should use to get the allocated memory of a specific process. I know there is the Page File Bytes counter which shows how much of the Page file is used by the system, but is that all I need? Is there maybe a special counter giving the total amount of memory allocated by a process or do I (or my evaluating Excel-sheet) have to sum up several counters?
Is PDH a component of every Windows XP installation no matter how minimal the installation will be, or do I have to deliver the PDH.dll with my other project dll files just to be sure? Or if I enter the pdh.lib in the link file, it should be linked statically and my class doesn't need the pdh.dll any more, correct?
Bye

Hi all,
I have to work on an application that implements whiteboard feature and allows two people sitting in remote locations to modify and work on a single file.(Say a word document or a text file). Changes made by one person are reflected on to the other's machine.
Any ideas/suggestions?(Link to articles/samples that achieve something of this sort)
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

Use a memory mapped file giving it a unique name when opening it. CreateFileMapping(). Just search the articles here for "shared memory" you will find several examples.
