Hi!

I want to create Microsoft Access Data Project(ADP)File through program in VC++.
Actually I have some Raw Data Which i get From the another Access File and now i want to create ADP file by using that RAW Data. Actually i get a function in Access Application Class.

application.NewAccessProject(filepath, Connect).

this funcation create an empty adp file.
But the problem is that I want to create an ADP file by passing some raw data which I get from another file and the function written above does't have any paramete which may take RAW data. Is there any other way to create the adp file in which I can pass the raw data as an paramater. or is there any other way to do so.

WS_POPUP style windows

HakunaMatada28-May-07 19:55

28-May-07 19:55

Hi,

I have got a very basic question. Do WS_POPUP style windows get created in a separate thread than the thread which created them or do they run in the same thread and somehow also manage a message loop?

Thanks,

no. When you call createwindow() from a thread, what ever be its style, it is created in same thread.

Thanks for taking the time out to reply but I do have some more queries.

If so, then what about the message loop. If I have a MainFrame window which in turn is creating 5 Popup windows, I believe that every window will have its own message loop. How does it maintain 6 message loops within the same thread?

Thanks.

No. Only one meesage loop will be there. When a window is created, there will no message loop. we have to explicitly write the message after creating the function( MFC is internally doing this). In the MainFrame case you said the sequence will be...

1. Create MainFrame
2. Create 5 popup window
3. Start the message loop

     while( GetMessage())// this loop is normally called as message loop<br />
{<br />
	TranslateMessage();<br />
	DispatchMessage();<br />
}

you can find this message loop in the CWinThread::PumpMessage() function.

So, what you are saying is that there is just one message loop which gets created and the framework makes it seem like all have separate message loops?

Lets say for example...

1) Create MainFrame.
2) Run Message Loop.
3) Create 5 Popup windows on an event, say button click.

Lets say the classes for the Mainframe and Popup windows are CMainFrame, CPopup1, CPopup2.... etc. All classes have their own message loops(BEGIN_MSG_MAP and END_MSG_MAP). Does the framework being used make us think that separate message loops are being used when in reality only message loop is being used or is the case otherwise?

Thanks again for the answers.

BEGIN_MSG_MAP and END_MSG_MAP are not message loop, they are message maps. The function added between that macro will be called by the MFC framework when a message of corresponing type arrives in that window.

The better method to explorer this type of thing is to step in to the code of MFC while debugging.

Windows styles (like WS_POPUP) and threads are orthogonal concepts.
WS_POPUP is about adorning your window (and maybe raising expectations in the user of your window).
What you want to learn about is worker threads and UI threads!

Maybe this[^] helps?

Failure is not an option - it's built right in.

Hello,

I have created a menu like the following code

CMenu Data1;
Data1.CreateMenu();
Data1.AppendMenu(MF_STRING ,DataP, "Demand");

CMenu M;
M.CreateMenu();
M.AppendMenu(MF_POPUP ,(UINT)Data1.m_hMenu, "Data");
M.AppendMenu(MF_STRING, Model_EntityP,"Model Entity");
M.AppendMenu(MF_STRING ,EditP, "Edit");
pFrame->SetMenu(&M);

The above code works if I remove the popup Data1 option and then execute the program.
It doesn't allow me to create popups.
Where exactly popups should be added for me to see after I click on the topline menu?
