No, it's ok. I did ask for an explanation of printing in MFC, and your code shows that pretty well but it doesn't do what I need. Thanks anyway. I get the idea of printing now.

In regards to your modified post, if you desire to calculate how many pages it will take to print your document, then you need to calculate some metrics to figure that out.

I think I misunderstood your original post. Are you using CEditView for your view class or a CScrollView? If your using CEditView, you really don't need to do anything as it is a mini pre-wrapped Notepad application and will print as is.

If I remember correctly, CEditView and CScrollView are used for previewing...? I hardly ever use them, not too familiar. What I'm doing here is I'm getting a CString of all the text in the editbox (CEdit), then printing the CString line by line in a loop. That's why I need the number of lines Wink | ;)

. I'm not using CEditView or CScrollView here.

Did you try CEdit::GetLineCount() and CEdit::GetLine()

I'm guessing it won't help too much though since the line count is probably based on it's visual representation in the CEdit window. Font metrics are quite tricky when attempting a WYSIWYG application on any arbitrary device; Especially with line breaks and font grid fitting involved.

However, it may be what your after so I thought I'd post it if you haven't come across it in MSDN yet.

Hope that helps.

Ever thought of Counting the Lines? (as in counting the number of'\n' chars in the CString? )

Hey Friends

Any idea how i can create a wav file so that

Output = 1.wav(in background & repeated) + 2.wav (in foreground & repeated)

Regards

If the wave files both contain PCM data, you can perform a crude mix by grabbing a sample from each file and summing them in the ratio you want. If you want a 70/30 mix, multiply the sample from 1.wav by 0.7 and the sample from 2.wav by 0.3. Add the two values and write to a new wave file. If the files have different sampling frequencies, bit depths, or numbers of channels, you'll have to do some processing to make them equivalent to each other before summing the samples.

AfxBeginThread() with a function in the main class

Johpoke3-Aug-07 5:59

This is allways something wich i have had trouble with, usualy i end up doing some ugly trick to make it work.. But this time i cant.. (well ive been spending around 3 days trying..) I need a thread which is connected to the main class of my MFC Dialog based application. I looked at Code Project:Using AfxBeginThread...[^] In which i end up createing a new static function that seems to work with some functions.. But when i tried calling the function i wanted it to run, it couldnt since it wasnt a static function.. So i tried making it a static function, but then i got loads of error messages...

So how would i go about creating and running a thread that is connected to the main class (like "CThreadDemoDlg::OnStart()" ) ?

The function doesnt need any params or other advanced features, maybe i should start it using a differnt function?

Or how should i go about this?

thanks!

PS: Im not really that good at the terminology for c++, or c++ programming itself, so nothing too hightech or advanced unless its a must do..

What's wrong with:

void CMyDlg::Process( void )
{
    // do whatever you need to in this non-static method
}
...
/* static */ UINT CMyDlg::Process( LPVOID pParam )
{
    CMyDlg *pDlg = (CMyDlg *) pParam;
 
    pDlg->Process();
 
    return 0;
}
...
AfxBeginThread(Process, this);

The thread procedure accepts a void pointer which you can pass when you create the thread.

If you pass a pointer to an object of a class then you will have access to that object from the
thread. If the thread proc is a static member function of that class, you have complete access
(to public/protected/private members).

class CThreadDemoDlg : public CDialog
{
<font face="Courier New">   static UINT __cdecl MyThreadProc(LPVOID pParam);</font>   
protected:
   <font face="Courier New">CWinThread *pAnotherThread; 
</font>public:
   void SomeThreadStarterFunc();
};

<font face="Courier New">void </font><font face="Courier New">CThreadDemoDlg::</font><font face="Courier New">SomeThreadStarterFunc()
{
   pAnotherThread = AfxBeginThread(&</font><font face="Courier New">CThreadDemoDlg::MyThreadProc, this);
}

UINT __cdecl </font><font face="Courier New">CThreadDemoDlg::MyThreadProc(LPVOID pParam)
{
   </font><font face="Courier New">CThreadDemoDlg *pMyDlg = (</font><font face="Courier New">CThreadDemoDlg *)pParam</font><font face="Courier New">;

   ...</font><font face="Courier New"><font><font></font></font>
}</font>

Thank you all for you great replies Smile | :)

Im trying out Mark's code right now, but its giving me an error message i really dont understand..

On this line:
CThreadDemoDlg *pMyDlg = (CThreadDemoDlg *pParam);

error C2146: syntax error : missing ')' before identifier 'pParam'
error C2059: syntax error : ')'

Ive renamed all the classes to the class on my program, so its not that... What could this be?

Thank you all!

Ah yes now it compiles, thanks.

But when i add a function to it (one that is connected to CThreadDemoDlg) i get the cant call a nonstatic member function..

error C2352: 'CThreadDemoDlg::SomeFunction' : illegal call of non-static member function
see declaration of 'SomeFunction'

So how should i go about calling the function?

thanks again!

Doh,

UINT __cdecl CThreadDemoDlg::MyThreadProc(LPVOID pParam)<br />
{<br />
   CThreadDemoDlg *pMyDlg = (CThreadDemoDlg *)pParam;<br />
<br />
   MyFunction();<br />
<br />
   return 1;<br />
}

It looks exactly like that, except the names are different

I was thinking i must use it to gain access to the rest of the functions so i like tried :: on it but that didnt work. Now i tried -> on it and all my functions come up Big Grin | :-D

Thanks alot for the help. The only downside with this is im probably gonna have to go through loads of old programs and get rid of their ugly methods and add this. But i guess its worth it Big Grin | :-D

Thanks again Smile | :)

You don't understand a syntax error message but you are working with multi threading *sigh* different day same old garbage

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