Thank you very much for the help I have a good idea of where too look now for the error, hopefully I will be able to figure it out tomorrow.

For info on the possible meaning of 0xBAADF00D see here[^].
I give the following advice about once a month (recently every few days); it often helps me track down the nastier heap errors:
Try enabling the page heap[^] for your process. Follow these steps:
1. Download and install WinDBG[^].
2. Select “Start”->“All Programs”->“Debugging Tools for Windows”->“Global Flags”.
3. Select the “Image File” tab.
4. In the “Image: (TAB to refresh)” edit control enter the name of your app then press TAB. Just the name with the extension; not the full path.
5. Tick the following:
- “Enable page heap”
- “Enable heap tail checking”
- “Enable heap free checking”
- “Enable heap parameter checking”
- “Enable heap validation on call”
- “Create user mode stack trace database”
6. Press “Apply”.
7. Debug your application. Any debugger will do but with WinDBG you have access to the stack traces of allocations via the !heap –p –a command, for example. When a heap problem is detected a breakpoint will be generated.
8. When done un-tick all the options you ticked, press “Apply” then dismiss GFlags. This step is important as if it’s skipped all applications named as entered in step 4 will run with the page heap enabled.
Note that when using the page heap your application will run much slower than normal and consume way more memory. It’s good to have a beefy machine to do such tests; and such tests should be ran regularly on all applications you develop as part of regular testing activities. If I find a part of my application that’s too slow with the page heap enabled I optimize the memory allocation in that region.

Hi all,
My brain is fried after a long days work, and I'm struggling with a loop that will enable me to enter a if statement every third interval. Can anyone please help me ??
Many Thanks

Sorry to bother agin but, the thing I'm trying to do is the following:
I have a structure and a char buffer:
struct record
{
char recordType[3];
char fieldName[30];
char fieldType[2];
char fieldLen[2];
}RecordAttributes[BUFSIZE];
char SemiBuffer[1024]={0};
</code>
The char buffer has a very long string in it and it is delimited by a comma ( , ).
So I do the following to break it up.
char* strToken;
strToken = strtok(SemiBuffer, ",");
while (strToken!=NULL)
{
...
strToken=strtok(NULL, ",");
}
This is where the probelm comes in. Seee the SemiBuffer has values that will match with the structure. For example the string would look something like this:
"MA,"RECORDTYPE","C","32","MA","DEVID","C","4","MD","RECORDTYPE","C","15"
As you can see every fourth element fits with the structure. So how can I code it that it would resemble something like this (for every occurance);
RecordAttributes[x].recordType = MA
RecordAttributes[x].fieldName = RECORDTYPE
RecordAttributes[x].fieldType = C
RecordAttributes[x].fieldLen = 32
Does it make sense .... ???
Many Thanks

Yes. After every third comma is encountered, increment x.

Could you please elaborate ??? Cause I think you don't understand.
After doing this:
strToken = strtok(SemiBuffer, ",");
while (strToken!=NULL)
{
strcpy(RecordAttributes[x].recordType,strToken);
strcpy(RecordAttributes[x].fieldName,strToken);
strcpy(RecordAttributes[x].fieldType,strToken);
strcpy(RecordAttributes[x].fieldLen,strToken);
strToken = strtok( NULL, "," );
x++;
}
But this will overwite every occurance of the next variable in the structure ....

Actually, it's the other way around. Try:
struct record
{
char recordType[3];
char fieldName[30];
char fieldType[2];
char fieldLen[3];
} RecordAttributes[3];
char SemiBuffer[1024] = "MA,RECORDTYPE,C,32,MA,DEVID,C,4,MD,RECORDTYPE,C,15";
void main( void )
{
char *strToken;
int x = 0,
nComma = 0;
strToken = strtok(SemiBuffer, ",");
while (strToken != NULL)
{
switch (nComma)
{
case 0:
strcpy(RecordAttributes[x].recordType, strToken);
break;
case 1:
strcpy(RecordAttributes[x].fieldName, strToken);
break;
case 2:
strcpy(RecordAttributes[x].fieldType, strToken);
break;
case 3:
strcpy(RecordAttributes[x].fieldLen, strToken);
break;
}
strToken = strtok(NULL, ",");
nComma++;
if (nComma > 3)
{
nComma = 0;
x++;
}
}
}

I've seen you on these boards before, so this had better not be homework!
for (i = 0; i < 9860708750; i++)
{
if ( (i % 3) == 0 )
{
Here goes stuff that will happen when i = 0,3,6,9,....
}

Will this run forever (since i will always be less than 9 billion)?

Yes! You've caught my deliberate error!
Maybe i was defined as __int128....?
The other remote possibility is I made up a number and it kinda got away from me....

In one of table field which I kept memo type (Access),use to have data of around 280 characters long key for some Image purpose. In VB recordset connectivity works fine. But when I developed VC++ application using Recordset simple connectivity. It gives error data truncated
while opening database. I done lot of R&d and found If I make my data type as text
( I cannot store my key in text) ,Everything works fine. This is very strange problem.
I dont have now time to learn OleDB or ADO . Is there any solution to this problem.
VB does not give any problem.

I'm not sure how to fix your problem with Memo,
but if you change it to OLE Object it will work.
OLE Object can store CByteArray so you can insert
any binary data, not just text.
<br />
CByteArray m_MyKey;<br />
<br />
RFX_Binary(pFX, _T("[MyKey]"), m_MyKey);

After Lots of ups and down I found answer by myself, nearby to your answer
// RecordSet Connectivity ODBC MFC internals, autogenerated --
void tt::DoFieldExchange(CFieldExchange* pFX)
{
//{{AFX_FIELD_MAP(tt)
pFX->SetFieldType(CFieldExchange::outputColumn);
RFX_Long(pFX, _T("[Id]"), m_Id);
RFX_Text(pFX, _T("[tt]"), m_tt); // tt is my memo in database.
//}}AFX_FIELD_MAP
}
Now for memo field which exceeds 255 limit ,we can add fourth attribute to RFX_Text
RFX_text(pFX,_T("tt"),m_tt,500); // My Limit is 500 currentely but can be large.
And Now code works very fine

I am using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Professional to develop a program that will output data to avionics equipment.
My question is how to run the profiler to do timing analysis on my program.
Here are some details on what I'm trying to do:
The program is dialog based. The dialogs are used to capture user input values for the data to be output.
I created a timer that looks like:
m_UpdateTimer = SetTimer (1, 1, NULL);
From what I understand, this timer should trigger every 1 ms.
I created a message map to trigger when the timer ticks:
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CbrsttDlg, CDialog)
ON_WM_TIMER()
...
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
I have a procedure which is called every time the timer triggers:
MyProg::OnTimer() { ... code .. }
My procedure does get called regularly. However I don't think it's being called every 1 ms. I want to find out how often this procedure is being called .
I know that there is a profiler that does timing analysis that comes with the Microsoft Visual Studio. I believe I have it installed.
I have set the "Enable Profiling" option on the Link tab in the Project settings.
Under the Build menu there is a Profile... option. I clicked that and chose "Function Timing". According to the MSDN library, if I want to do timing on a single procedure I need to put this in the advanced Settings: box.
MSDN says:
"Or, if you are in the development environment, you might type the following in the Advanced settings text box of the Profile dialog box,
SF ?MyFunc@@YAXPAH@@"
I looked up my function in the map file. The line in the map file says:
0001:00007980 ?OnTimer@CbrsttDlg@@IAEXI@Z 00408980 f brsttDlg.obj
So I put :
SF ?OnTimer@CbrsttDlg@@IAEXI@Z
into the Advanced settings: box.
When I click OK on the Profile box it says in the profile tab:
PREP : fatal error PRF1011: cannot open file p:\brs_taws_sw\tools\brstaw_test_tool\brstt\debug\sf.exe
Now, I'm completely lost. Why is it looking for sf.exe? 
Supposedly (according to MSDN lib), the SF is an option to the PREP tool.
I have googled looking for information on how to use the profiler but haven't come up with anything useful. Some of the info I found says to use some .ini files for PREP and a couple other things. But I don't know where these files are, how they get created, or what to put in them.
If someone can point me to a site with some useful information for a newb, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You are correct when you say that your proc wont be called every 1 mSec, far from it in fact. So, there are two ways of looking at this:
1) Finding out what the timing actually is. This can easily be done with the excellent CPerfTimer class by Dean Wyant dwyant@mindspring.com. I think it is available on codeproject.com.
2) Improve the timer resolution and accuracy. This can be done quite simply using multimedia timers. You should be able to get a lot better accuracy than you get with a standard windows timer but you might not get the 1mSec timing that you require. I have some info/code frags on using multimedia timers if you like.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the pointer. I reimplemented the timer using a multimedia timer (using an example I found on the web). It seems vastly better than what I had before.
But...my question still remains.
Does anyone know how to use the Visual Studio Profiler?

No way Windows can deliver that frequency. SetTimer works reasonably well for ranges over half a second, not milliseconds.
Anyway, if you are looking for a profiler, I suggest GlowCode[^] - has a free trial period. Not sure if it works with VC6, though.

Wishful thinking, but since Windows is not a RTOS, it's just not possible. The best you could hope for is about 15ms.

I'll save you some trouble...
There's almost no chance whatsoever that your routing is getting reliably called every millisecond. Like WM_PAINT, WM_TIMER is only generated if the message queue is quiet.
If you just want it "as often as I can, and at most 1000 times a second", then you might be lucky.
Otherwise, you're going to have to use a separate thread, and some mechanism like waitable timers. If you are *REALLY* insistent on the interval, then windows is not going to be real time enough for deterministic real time behaviour...
Hopefully this gives you some parallel thoughts, even if it went nowhere near answering your question,
Iain.

Well, not exactly.
I just tested SetTimer, and the minimum increment it works with is 1/100 of a second (not 1/1000). But with increments in multiples of 1/100 of a second it is extremely accurate. Try it out for yourself. Set an interval of 10 (milliseconds) and every WM_TIMER msg, OutputDebugString(GetCurrentTime()). The millisecond output will increment by 10 for at least fifty iterations before being off by one.
An interval less than 10 milliseconds is treated as 10. An interval that is not a multiple of 10 is bumped up to the next multiple of 10.
The docs on SetTimer mention a USER_TIME_MINUMUM but #defining this to 1 didn't seem to matter. The minimum increment was still ten milliseconds. (OS - Win 2000).

Come to think of it, being off by an average of 1/50000 of a second could be attributed to the overhead of OutputDebugString(GetCurrentTime()).
