Try this:
the thread function:
DWORD WINAPI ThreadFunc( LPVOID lpParam )
{
CWnd * pDlg = (pDlg*)lpParam;
int a = 44;
int b = 45;
for (int i=40; i<100; i++)
{
pDlg->PostMessage(WMU_SETVALUE1, (WPARAM)i,(LPARAM)b);
Sleep(10);
}
return 0;
}
in the dialog.h file
#define WMU_SETVALUE1 (WM_USER+1)
in the message map add following line:
ON_MESSAGE(WMU_SETVALUE1,OnSetValue1)
And add following function:
LRESULT CSurveyUpdateDlg::OnSetValue1(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
setValueAlt1((int)wParam, (int)lParam);
}

First of all thanks a lot.
It dosent work. I have the following interface
you mentioned that I could use pDlg->PostMessage(WMU_SETVALUE1, (WPARAM)i,(LPARAM)b);
where is comming pDlg? I have got error at CWnd * pDlg = (pDlg*)lpParam; and pDlg->PostMessage(WMU_SETVALUE1, (WPARAM)i,(LPARAM)b);
I have copied all files maybe you can see my problem better
Thanks

You can see I didn't test this ... 
That should have been:
CWnd * pDlg = (CWnd*)lpParam;
If that doesn't work, I'll test it myself!

Hi Thanks,
It still dosent work. I get the following error
'CSurveyUpdateDlg' : is not a class or namespace name
'WMU_SETVALUE1' : undeclared identifier
If you have a email adress I can send you my workspace which you can test it easier. For your information I have VC++ 6.0
Thanks

I copy-pasted the OnSetValue1 function of a project of mine, and forgot to edit the class name, so CSurveyUpdateDlg::OnSetValue1 should be CThreadDlg::OnSetValue1
And don't forget to add the function prototype in the ThreadDlg.h header file too:
afx_msg LRESULT OnSetValue1(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);
The WMU_SETVALUE1 error is caused by a missing
#include "Thread.h"
in the file where you're calling PostMessage(WMU_SETVALUE1, ...)
That should do it.

If these basic errors are troubling you, perhaps multithreaded applications should be postponed for a while. They're not a trivial concept.

Hi, I need how I can use PostMessage for sending the message with some parameters to main thread(window) and then how I can read the data from It.
Best regards

can anybody tell me how i can call a vb activex dll from c++
|
|
|
|

Follow this steps
1) Click on Tools->OLE/COM Object Viewer.
2) Press View TypeLib.
3) Select your VB dll location.
4) This will show you coclass and interfaces of the VB dll.
5) Save this file.This file is an IDL file.
6) Add this IDL file in your project.
7) Right click on IDL file and compile it.This will create a header
file of the IDL file.Now include this file where you want.
8) Use this file which has defination of the coclass and its interfaces.

Find the physical location of the VB file on the disk and use the #import directive to get the declarations into your program. I think if you use a recent enough version of Visual C++, you can #import by lib id.

Hi,
i am saving a HDC in one fuction of a class by using the following code
<br />
MyClass::MyFunction()<br />
{<br />
CDC dc;<br />
AfxGetApp()->CreatePrinterDC(dc);<br />
m_Hdc = dc.GetSafeHdc( );<br />
dc.Detach();<br />
}
Now in some other classes i am Creating a CDC class objcet using this HDC.
CDC *pDC = CDC::FromHandle(MyClasss::getMyHDC());
But some time it is causing my application to crash. But if i replace FromHandle() by Attach() and detach() the application is working fine.
So, i just want to know whether it is safe to use FromHandle() or not. If not should i replace all my FromHandle() by Attach and detach.
Thanks Ashwani

Are you storing the pDC beyond a function call, CDC::FromHandle returns a temporary CDC object if HDC is not already attached. CDC::DeleteTempMap will delete the temporary CDC objects in idle processing. so if you using the object beyond a function call and there by alowing the idle processing to delete the object, application can crash if you access the temp object.
CDC::FromHandle() is less error-prone in the sense you do not have to remember to "detach". but remember it is used only in immediate processing.
In your MyClass::MyFunction(), you are Detaching the CDC, so it is sure that FromHandle creates temp map object, and possibly you are storing beyond a function call.
I suggest you to Keep attached the Printer DC with a member variable CDC and use it everywhere or use attach detach you should match the two calls then, or use FromHandle but with in a function call.
If the frequency of the call is high reduce the number of attach - detach.

Hi,
Currently i am using the pDC within the same fuction call though i am calling a seperate function to create it which is returning this pDC to the parent function and again from the parent function i am calling a seperate function which has pDC as one of its parameter.
<br />
CDC* dc = myPrintObj.createDCForPrint(printRect);<br />
doPrintWfReport(dc, printJob);<br />
The Funtion where i am getting the CDC object is as follows
<br />
CDC* PrintJob::PrintJobToPrinterType::createDCForPrint(const NcWfPrintJob& client, const CRect& printRect)<br />
{<br />
REQUIRE(!printRect.IsRectEmpty());<br />
<br />
DOCINFO DI;<br />
ZeroMemory(&DI, sizeof(DOCINFO));<br />
DI.cbSize = sizeof(DOCINFO);<br />
DI.lpszDocName = NcCommonResources().getWFReportDocName();<br />
<br />
CDC* pDC = CDC::FromHandle(client.getPrintInfo().hDC);<br />
pDC->SetMapMode(MM_HIMETRIC);<br />
<br />
pDC->StartDoc(&DI);<br />
pDC->StartPage();<br />
<br />
return pDC;<br />
}<br />
In the current design it is not possible for me to have a CDC object as a member varaible. Is it OK to use FromHandlePermanent() instead of FromHandle().
Thanks
|

|

Do you have FromHandlePermanent for CDC, i think it is for CWnd::FromHandlePermanent.
ashtwin wrote: Currently i am using the pDC within the same fuction call
I assume this is your new change, and works without crash.
ashtwin wrote: In the current design it is not possible for me to have a CDC object as a member varaible
why it is not possible, in createDCForPrint why don't you attach the printer DC to a member variable CDC::Attach and when you done printing you can call cleanup function like DeleteDCForPrint and detach and delete the DC stored in member variable. If you are using the DC within the function call as said above it is ok, make sure the idle processing which deletes the temp DC object not allowed to execute in between.
|
|
|
|
|
Sorry, u r right CDC don't have FromHandlePermanent(). Now the question is whether we can return a temporary object pointer from a function or not?
Thanks

ashtwin wrote: Now the question is whether we can return a temporary object pointer from a function or not?
That i answered repeatedly, if you are sure the idle processing is not allowed to execute that is used CDC within a function callstack which is running in the same thread as of the Message loop ad you are not doing windows message processing in between.

|
|
|
|
Ok, thanks.
I think
dc.StartDoc;
is the culprit. Because after prompting Save as dialogue the system will become idle and temporary objects are getting deleted during this call only.
|
|
|
|
|
Then what about returning an object which is attached using CDC::Attach not CDC::FromHandle.
CDC *CreatePrinterDC()
{
....
CDC *pdcPrinter = new CDC;
pdcPrinter ->Attach(hdcPrinter);
....
return pdcPrinter;
}
clean up
delete pdcPrinter; in main function;

Hi,
i think the solution which u r suggesting will definately work.
But i have overridden createDCForPrint() and in one function i am already using new to create CMetaFileDC object.
I will try to implement ur solution if possible.
Thanks
