IsGUIThread(...) is not an MFC function, and is only available on WinXP (and above).
Peace!

What is a "GUI thread?"

I think a thread that has some user interface with the user is called GUI thread. I mean a thread that has a window or message loop some thing like that... What do you think?

I was just asking for clarification. I've always referred to a "GUI thread" as one with a message loop, whereas a "worker thread" as one without a message loop. In reality, the latter can also interact with UI components but not trivially.

After you asked me the question I tried to call the function IsGUIThread() function from a thread which was created using AfxBeginThread() and CreateThread(). the behavior I found was that the IsGUIThread() function return true when called from a thread created using AfxBeginThread() where as it retured FALSE when called from a thread created using CreateThread(). after checking the MFC code, I found that When we call the AfxBeginThread the Entry point is actually _AfxThreadEntry and inside that function a SetWindowsHookEx() is called. Thats why the IsGUIThread() function returned TRUE when called from such threads. But I didnt understand why..

I know it look stupid.. do you have control over source code!

huh?
The reason I asked the question:
I have these objects -- with entrypoints....
They affect UI and work much better when called from a UI thread -- threads with a message queue attached.
I just wanted to put some assertions in to make sure the API's were used correctly.
I'll take a look at IsGUIThread

FYI
In VS 2008, the threads window now has a category column that shows the main thread, worker threads, UI threads, and RPC threads.

hello,
I wanted to create a new table in access through a code in VC++.
Can I use CRecordSet to create a new table in access?

You can use CDatabase for this. Also, Google for "CREATE TABLE."

Dialogs are on the RC files.Is this your answer?
|

When we create any dialog, when we use some controls on that dialog the implementation for that dialog is inside our MFC DLLs, also if we have some custom controls then implementation for it is in that particular DLLs, as the dialog is not external dependancy (unlike BMPs), it is inside the application itself, and the information related to that dialog is given in resource file, using Resource file information the compiler takes the corresponding resources and renders dialog accordingly. Wht you must have missed is to copy the resouce file properly. Copy it again and compile it .. Hopefully it should work then.
Thanks,
Anand.

No it is not working properly. i have tried copying it again but still the same problm is there.
|
|
|
|

Try recompiling the code again.

Paresh.

Then there must be some specifice problem to your project, ideally it should work.
Thanks,

Of what?

What do you mean by "get my dialog box?"
neha.agarwal27 wrote: I have opened resource file also, but definations are also not available there.
Definations? Can you open the copied .rc file and locate the dialog templates? If not, can you do so with the original .rc file?
Is the dialog created at design-time or at run-time?

Dialog templates are stored in the project's .rc file. After compiling, they are in a .res file along with all the other resources (e.g., bitmaps, menus, icons).
