Why do you repeatedly say DateTimePicker? It belongs to the .NET framework class library. I believe that we're talking about CDateTimeCtrl.

What are you doing using GetSystemTime()? This would get the computer's time and not the time that's being shown in your DateTimeControl()! Please use the DateTime_SetSystemtime Macro to set the value into your control. Also, check the return value of this macro. It should return a non zero value if it didn't fail. Try that and let me know the result.

Hi All,
I Create some thread by using the function _beginthreadex.
I hold some handle to this thread
(ThreadHandle = (HANDLE) _beginthreadex(...))
And now i want to kill the running thread and i don't know how to do it.
thanks for any help...

Let the thread procedure function exit by itself.

There's a few ways to do it.
The nice way:
Before starting the thread, create an event object (CreateEvent). Share this event handle with your thread, check it periodically -- and when it becomes signalled, have the thread exit itself. It's always best for the thread to exit gracefully.
HANDLE hEvent = CreateEvent();
_beginThreadEx( NULL, 0, YourThreadFunc, hEvent, 0, &ThreadID );
unsigned int __stdcall YourThreadFunc( LPVOID pData )
{
HANDLE hEvent = (HANDLE)pData;
while ( WaitForSingleObject(hEvent,0) != WAIT_OBJECT_0 )
{
DoSomething();
}
return 0;
}
SetEvent(hEvent);
The nasty way:
TerminateThread( threadHandle );

I cant in my code check for event ... but using TerminateThread look better option for now.
but I dont understand why dont use the TerminateThread ?
I rad about TerminateThread in MSDN - and they wrote "TerminateThread is a dangerous function that should only be used in the most extreme cases" - but i dont see any problem.
Can you explain ?
Thanks.

Because it is not a natural way to exit your thread. First, if you allocated some resources in your thread, there's no way you will be able to clean them if you are using TerminateThread.
Second, you have no control about what you are doing: you will terminate the thread whatever it was processing. It means you can terminate it in the middle of something important that will be left not terminated (e.g. if you communicate with an external device, you started to send some data to it and then brutally stop it, leaving the device in an unknown state).
It is far better to handle that yourself, using a flag for example: you check regularly if this flag is false, if that's the case, you exit nicely the thread function (the general idea is having a loop that checks for this flag).

If this is your first jaunt into threading, you'll run into some problems. There's a whole bunch of things that you need to learn about in order to make threading work right.
But once you figure them out -- you'll LOVE threading!
The most important lesson is "Don't take shortcuts" -- a certain level of discipline is important when constructing a program that employs threads.
I think I've forgotten how to write an unthreaded program. What did we do before threading?

Hi,
Can anybody please explain, How virtual destructor works under the hood?
What happens exactly with virtual table?
Thanks in advance.
|
|
|
|
|
I think:
The destructor goes into the vtable.
When the destructor is called -- the top-most constructor is called first, executed, then in turn, the each of the parent destructors are called. The order is the opposite of the order that the constructors are executed.
If you didn't do a virtual destructor, the parent destructors are hidden. I, personally, always use virtual destructors.
Just off the top of my head.

I assume you mean "When the (virtual)destructor is called -- the top-most constructor destructor is called first". If so, why don't you edit.

then your reply wouldn't make any sense.... and we don't want that!

Iam having a MFC application, in which we have a worker theread.
Some operation is happens in worker thread.And we call this application for 10 times it works well.But when we call this application for 25th time it crashes at 25th time.
Let me know what will be the reasons behind this.
According to me one of the reasons is data type matching.But intially we resolved this problem for 10th time then it works well till. 24th time and at 25th time it crashes.
According to me there will be some other reaons behind this crashing.
Let me reasons how to rsolve this type of crashing.

We're not psychics. You haven’t provided enough information. What is the type of crash? Can you provide the call stack of the crash? Can you post the relevant code?

just try pinpoint the position where it is crashing, also just ?, are these 10 threads running syncronously, if yes, have you applied good sync logic!, if they sharing same data!

Its easy. I got it. All what u have to do is to put break point on the
thread function(F9 For all the lines) debug and wait for the application to crash.
Thats it.
