How about PathIsDirectory()?

Like you would anything else, use CreateProcess() or ShellExecute(). However, some DOS commands have an equivalent API (e.g., dir, copy).

Hi
This is only working for local directories. Not for remote shared path validation. how to check the remote machine shared directory path is valid or not?
|
|
|
|
|
Is PathIsUNC() any better?

Hi there everyone!
I've been coding a multithreaded application for a while and due to some big changes in the application I've decided to recode it all from the start.
Together with the new changes, thread safety has really become an issue and it's made me realise how hard it really is to design a multithreaded application. So after thinking for weeks and reading all I've come over I think it's time to ask around for some advice :]
My application runs two main threads:
* One for the GUI (Win32 Console)
* One for a TCP socket listening for incoming HTTP requests (yes, it works as a basic webserver)
The application also runs 10 worker threads for handling http requests. These threads are in a pool that keeps handling each and every http requests that is queued.
The reason I use a thread pool is that handling a request can take some time, for instance if a complicated script is executed or a large file is requested and I don't want one request to block another.
The Webserver supports a very simple script langauge (similar to ASP). Using this, the client can both access and modify a lot of objects on the server, such as Users, Statistics, Settings.
This is where the problem lies: These objects needs to be thread safe. Say for example that one http request modifies a username while three another http requests at the same time wants to output the username.. adding to this, maybe the GUI also wants to display this username at the exact same time... this is where it can all go very wrong if it's not thread safe.
As a note I can say that I'm currently using the boost library 'shared_ptr' for accessing these objects through manager classes, for example: UserManager, LogManager, StatisticsManager.. etc Maybe one possibility would be to write a wrapper around the shared_ptr for thread safety??..
But to be honest I really haven't come up with the perfect way to solve this. It's a lot of objects that can be accessed by both the GUI, the Webserver and the Worker Threads, so honestly, wrapping every get/set accessor up in Mutexes isn't a very pretty solution.
So well, I thought it might be a good idea to see if anyone here have any ideas on how I can design this, or just do some brainstorming :]
thanks!

Presumably the manager classes are created before the worker threads are active, so putting synchronization at that level seems appropriate. It is necessary then to prevent one thread from writing changes to these objects while others are also trying to read or write to them.
This article presents one technique for accomplishing such synchronization:

It's not always pretty 
I use a little helper class to make it a bit prettier:
<br />
class CMyCriticalSection<br />
{<br />
private:<br />
CRITICAL_SECTION CritSec;<br />
public:<br />
CMyCriticalSection() {::InitializeCriticalSection(&CritSec);}<br />
virtual ~CMyCriticalSection() {::DeleteCriticalSection(&CritSec);}<br />
<br />
void Enter() {::EnterCriticalSection(&CritSec);}<br />
void Leave() {::LeaveCriticalSection(&CritSec);}<br />
};<br />
So, for member variables that need thread access protection I add a CMyCriticalSection object:
<br />
class CMyClass<br />
{<br />
protected:<br />
CString Str;<br />
CMyCriticalSection StrCritSec;<br />
public:<br />
void ThreadSafeSetStr(const CString &);<br />
};<br />
<br />
void CMyClass::ThreadSafeSetStr(const CString &newstr)<br />
{<br />
StrCritSec.Enter();<br />
Str = newstr;<br />
StrCritSec.Leave();<br />
}<br />

You do not necessarily need to use a multi threaded approach with your server.
If locking and inter-thread-communication becomes a burden try a software architecture where socket connections are handled in one single thread context. When all sockets are running in the same thread context there is no need for locking shared data structures anymore. There are a couple of Unix web servers which follow this architecture (e.g. thttpd, mathopd), for Windows try the MFC class CAsyncSocket.
Hope this helps, feel free to brainstorm more...

first TrackPopupMenu,then how to response right button click on the menu?
thank you here
|
|
|
|
|
make one more menu IDR_MENU2
add handler
oncontext menu write code
void CChildView::OnContextMenu(CWnd* pWnd, CPoint point)
{
// TODO: Add your message handler code here
CClientDC dc(this);
CRect rect;
GetClientRect(&rect);
int h,w;
h=rect.Height();
w=rect.Width ();
CMenu conmenu;
conmenu.LoadMenu(IDR_MENU2);
CMenu *p=conmenu.GetSubMenu(0);
p->TrackPopupMenu(TPM_CENTERALIGN|TPM_RIGHTBUTTON,point.x ,point.y ,AfxGetMainWnd() );
CWnd::OnContextMenu(pWnd,point);
}
and on RButtonDOWn u write ur code
Yes U Can ...If U Can ,Dream it , U can do it ...ICAN

Thank you.
but I mean this:
I used trackpopupmenu showed a popup menu,then I want to do something when I right click on the menu,pay attention, I mean right click on the menu not right click to show the menu.
so,the point is how to handle right click on a popup menu message.
|
|
|
|
|
there r msg handlers for right click event also like WM_RBUTTONDOWM and so on
....u may use that event .....that code was for pop up menu
Yes U Can ...If U Can ,Dream it , U can do it ...ICAN

Hi All
How to implement printing without using Print Dialog ?
How to set default values (Paper size, Orientation etc) to Print Dialog ?
KK

|
|
|

This is all done via OpenPrinter().

CreateDC for creating Printer DC and TextOut for printing on the papar!

I am having problems using OleLoadPicture in multithreaded application.
Is this function really thread safe and does not pose any threats?
Does it have any disadvantages? - Like I've heard that it creates temporary files to cache the images we load.
How to tackle the multithreaded scenario as my application is creating more than 100 threads, each of which uses this function, and then one of the threads crashes while calling OleLoadPicture.
Thanks in advance,
Amit.

Can you explain why you make 100 threads that use OleLadPicture?
|
|
|
|
|
The use of this function has been made in a dll.
This dll is going to be used from a webservice. Right now I am trying do load testing through a C# appliaction and make the dll threadsafe.
If I am using it for single thread then it works fine, but for multiple threads some threads finish their working successfully, and one of them crashes the application.
There is no problem with image.
|
|
|
|
|
Are you sure this error is of thread not OleLadPicture?
|
|
|
|
|
The problem is not with the thread.
The thing is that, some threads will finish successfully (They execute OleLoadPicture sucessfully) and suddenly in a random thread the function OleLoadPicture will not work, and then rest all threads which have yet to call this OleLoadPicture function, will not be able to execute it.
