Yes I have set the property of "Owner Draw" to "variablr" under style tab.
Also checked the option of "Has String" under it.

In WM_DRAWITEM handler, did you set the property CtlType of DRAWITEMSTRUCT to ODT_LISTBOX?

You can use GetExitCodeThread[^]. If the value returned by the thread is STILL_ACTIVE, then your thread is still running.

{
std::map<int, CPingThread*>::iterator pos = assocsping.find(pingkey);
if(pos != assocsping.end())

I suppose (but it was not clear) that CPingThread is a class that inherits from CWinThread and that it implements the thread function ?
CWinThread has a public member m_hThread (see here[^] ). You can pass this handle to the function (as explained in my previous post)

This is not a good way to check if a thread has exited. Here’s what MSDN has to say on this issue:

Warning: If a thread happens to return STILL_ACTIVE (259) as an error code, applications that test for this value could end up in an infinite loop.

Here's how you do it without such dangers:

if (WaitForSingleObject(hThread, 0)==WAIT_OBJECT_0)
{
	// Thread has exited.
}

Don't forget to close the thread handle when you're done with it.

Open the driver associated with the USB device withe the CreateFile function and then you can use ReadFile or WriteFile to read or write data. You can also use DeviceIOControl to exchange driver specific commands.

What kind of data ?

A std::vector ? Or a plain C++ array ?

Also, try to use a relevant title. I don't really see how your question is related to Visual C++ (or, yes, I see but in that case ALL questions could have the same title).

He means this:
Mode (statistics)[^]
If the vector contains discrete values (integers), then the problem is just to find the most commonly occurring value.

I dont think you can use that, but you can give a try.

You can try other things like - make sure you dont have any whitespaces in yout temp/tmp directory names.
- make sure that you dont have any whitespaces in your object(.obj) file names
- make sure you are using link.exe that you think you are using

Hi,
I've have a file which is written during a program and it is written by using myfile.write(string,string.GetLength()+1);
myfile is a temporary file where user may attempt to save it by clicking 'Save' button. However, i got one example on 'OnSave() function which i don't quite understand to use it.

void MyDlg::OnSave()
{
UpdateData();

GetBufferSize();
OPENFILENAME openfile;
openfile.lStructSize=sizeof(OPENFILENAME) ;
openfile.hwndOwner=AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd->m_hWnd;
openfile.lpstrFilter="Text Files (.txt)\0*.txt\0";
openfile.lpstrInitialDir=m_binfile;
openfile.lpstrTitle="Save Buffer";
openfile.lpstrCustomFilter=NULL;

// Set default file type in open file dialog
CString ext=m_binfile.Right(3);
ext.MakeUpper();
openfile.nFilterIndex=1;

CString filename="Result File";
filename=filename.Mid(filename.ReverseFind('\\')+1);
filename=filename.Left(filename.ReverseFind('.'));
char file[MAX_PATH];
file[0]=0;
strcpy(file,filename);
openfile.lpstrFile=file;
openfile.nMaxFile=MAX_PATH;
openfile.lpstrFileTitle=NULL;
openfile.Flags=OFN_HIDEREADONLY;
openfile.nFileOffset=0;
openfile.nFileExtension=0;
openfile.lpstrDefExt=ext;
openfile.lCustData=0;

if (!GetSaveFileName(&openfile))
return;

filename=file;

// Update file type selection
ext=filename.Right(3);
ext.MakeUpper();

// Saving buffer as binary file
HANDLE hFile=CreateFile(filename,GENERIC_WRITE,
FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
NULL,CREATE_ALWAYS,FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,NULL);

if (hFile==INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
m_status.Format(_T("Failed to save buffer!"));
UpdateData(FALSE);
MessageBox(_T("Failed to save buffer!"));
return;
}

// Save file
DWORD bytewrite;
SetFilePointer(hFile,0,0,FILE_BEGIN);
WriteFile(hFile,m_buffer,m_filesize,&bytewrite,NULL);
SetEndOfFile(hFile);

CloseHandle(hFile);

m_status.Format(_T("Buffer saved successfully."));
UpdateData(FALSE);
}

However is there any example that i can refer that allows myfile.txt to be saved in the chosen location after clicking 'Save'?

Thanks for any replies

It's simple;

<br />
CString str = "... this is the file content to be saved ...";<br />
<br />
CFile f;<br />
if (f.Open("C:\\myFile.txt", CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeWrite))<br />
{<br />
    f.Write(str, str .GetLength());<br />
}<br />

see this article

here an excel file is used you can change it to txt.
as the data is loaded on the list control you can load it on a edit box or on any thing else. And when the user clicks the save button you can load the data again on the file, replacing the previous data

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