Thank you, Its working but I want to know the WindowPlacement using GetWindowPlacement() . The below code is returning null in WINDOWPLACEMENT variable.
<br />
static BOOL CALLBACK EnumWindowsProc(HWND hwnd, LPARAM lParam)<br />
{<br />
char text[200];<br />
GetWindowText(hwnd,text,200);<br />
CString szWindowTitle=text;<br />
WINDOWPLACEMENT *WndPlacement=NULL;<br />
if(szWindowTitle=="My Window")<br />
{<br />
GetWindowPlacement(hwnd,WndPlacement);
szWindowTitle.Format("%d",WndPlacement->showCmd);<br />
AfxMessageBox(szWindowTitle);<br />
}<br />
<br />
return TRUE;<br />
};<br />

Well, of course it is since you initialize WndPlacement to NULL. You're not using the function correctly. You need to supply the buffer to receive the requesetd information. Try this.
WINDOWPLACEMENT WndPlacement;
if(szWindowTitle=="My Window")
{
GetWindowPlacement(hwnd,&WndPlacement);
szWindowTitle.Format("%d",WndPlacement.showCmd);
AfxMessageBox(szWindowTitle);
}

Why the cast?

Why are you calling this function directly? EnumWindows() will do that for you, hence the callback.

I'm tring to set the Font and Fontsize to "MS Sans Serif" and 14, the code below does not seem to do it...what am I doing wrong? Is there an easier way to do this?
Thanks
CFont LargeFont;
LOGFONT lf;
memset(&lf, 0, sizeof(LOGFONT));
lf.lfHeight = 24;
lf.lfWeight = 400;
strcpy(lf.lfFaceName, "MS Sans Serif");
GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC5)->SetFont(&LargeFont);

You never initialize LargeFont.
Why don't you use CFont::CreatePointFont ?

As addendum to Cédric reply, please note you probably have to use
lf.lfHeight = -MulDiv(24, GetDeviceCaps(hDC, LOGPIXELSY), 72);
to obtain a 24 point sized font.

The original Post was missing this:
VERIFY(LargeFont.CreateFontIndirect(&lf));
|

Ok, but that did not answer my question.

This is my code....what am I missing? I thing it's the height and weight that is giving me problem. I am from VB world.
thanks

LOGFONT lf;
memset(&lf, 0, sizeof(LOGFONT));
lf.lfHeight = 24;
lf.lfWeight = 400;

VERIFY(LargeFont.CreateFontIndirect(&lf));

Where is this object declared? If it is not global, or is not a member of the dialog, it will go out of scope before SetFont() has a chance to work.

Now I understand....it is being declared on ::Paint()

Hi,using native C++ in dlls called from a VB.NET application I want to dynamically allocate up to 3 GB of memory, in stages, using the “new” command.
The following code (example to illustrate the problem) produces the following error “Unhandled exception at 0x7c81eb33 n VMTest.exe: Microsoft C++ exception:std::bad_alloc at memory location 0x0012fe10..”
I have configured the virtual memory under control panel|system properties|Advanced tab|Advanced tab|settings to “System managed size” and customised with Initial size = 756 and Maximum size = 8192 with no success. I am using VS2005 on XP SP2.
Please can anybody advise me on a way forward using the "new" command or an alternative.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>;
using namespace std;
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
int count = 1000000000;
char buf;
char * cmemblock;
char unsigned * cumemblock;
cout << "Start of program" << endl;
cmemblock = new char [count];
cout << "cmemblock created" << endl;
cin >> buf;
cumemblock = new char unsigned [count];
cout << "cumemblock created" << endl;
cout << "Memory taken" << endl;
delete[] cmemblock;
cout << "cmemblock deleted" << endl;
delete[] cumemblock;
cout << "cmemblock deleted" << endl;
cout << "Successfull completion of program" << endl;
cin >> buf;
return 0;
}

 Why do you want to ever do such a thing ?

Hi Cedric, system requirements change. The application I am working now has to process large amounts of raw (binary) data. I was under the impression that Windows XP virual memory management would take care of data larger than RAM size. I could change the program so that I read chuncks i.e 0.5 GB at a time but this will impact other parts of the system.
My current development PC has 1GB of memory so I have will be upgrading as soon as possible.
Cheers,
Aubs

It will but if you're gong to be manipulating those huge chunks of memory at once - as in repeatedly allocating 4 GB then running through the entire 4G allocation - you're system is going to be constantly thrashing on the paging file. The additional time spent accessing the hard drive is probably going to be greater than whatever time you will gain be rewriting your logic to use the bigger chunks of memory. Processor speeds blow away disk access speeds.
Also, even if you put more than 4G of physical memory in your machine, XP cannot access it. It has a hard upper limit of 43G (32G using the default settings).

If you want to do this sort of thing you're probably best off using the Virtual Memory Win32 API, ::VirtualAlloc etc. Windows doesn't cope all that well if you try and grab all the RAM off it through the normal heap mechanism. You're also incurring CRT overhead and possibly tripping over inherent 2GB limits in the CRT malloc etc implementations when you use new. If you don't want to use Virtual memory you could use the Win32 Heap API e.g. ::HeapAlloc instead. Depending on how much RAM you've actually got you might get away with it. If you do my advice is make sure your allocation size are multiples of 64K and don't make them larger than about 4MB max at a time. That might help Windows to cope well enough. There's all sorts of wiredness going on underneath as ever with disk cache sizes and paging stuff in and out so you might want to target a specific and relatively recent Windows version aswell e.g. at least Server 2003 by defining _WIN32_WINNT 0x0502 and WINVER 0x0502. I'm not certain this will help but it's worth a try.

I believe that applications need to be flagged to indicate that they are able to handle a memory address space larger than 2GB. In VC++6.0 there was the /LARGEADDRESSWARE linker switch.
Remember that allocation of memory requires two things: (1) you need available free memory that can be allocated, and (2) you need enough contiguous addresses in your application's address space to access that memory through.
When you start heading beyond 2GB, you may need to be starting the OS with special flags (/3GB in the boot.ini file) which forces it to only reserve 1GB of address space instead of 2GB.
You should Google for things like the switch I mentioned above "AWE", and the "/3GB" switch for more information. Also, look into the VirtualAlloc(...) and related functions for handling large amounts of memory.
Peace!

On 32-bit windows you can't dynamically allocate 3GB of memory.
