One more thing I wanted to add, I wrote two articles that explain how windows painting works and how to program with it. There is a beginner and an intermediate article, it may answer some of you questions about paint.

Hey guys!
Thanks for the reply. Everything is clear now.
I knew that the window was not receiving any paint messages when I used BeginPaint. I just needed to know why  I am just crazy for details. Usually, never satisfied if a thing works, I want to know why it does or does not work.
So, I subclassed my abstract canvas class into 2 new classes. One which uses GetDC() and one which uses BeginPaint and EndPaint. So, if I need manual updates I use GetDC(). If I need to do something in response to WM_PAINT, I use Begin and EndPaint
Personally, I did not think generating WM_PAINT myself was not a good idea. This I think is a much simpler and correct solution.
Thanks again. Any new ideas /suggestions welcome

Does anyone know of any MFC controls of this nature...?
I'm aware of the WTL versions, but I have quickly grown tired of trying to figure out what was going wrong...
I've done all the obvious included wtl/include under project settings and included the nessecary incldes the author suggests...however I still get errors and i'm not interested in trying to figure it out right now...I just don't have the pateince..i'd rather right a owner drawn TAB control myself...using MFC... 
So is there any...? Or are these all WTL/ATL...?
Thanx!

For a project we use overlapped sockets instead of CSocket (not thread-safe).
Everytime when a socket is accepted:
- the virtual function OnAccept is called, the socket is accepted
- A new thread is started
- new Events are created (m_hStopEvent, m_Read.hEvent, m_Write.hEvent, m_hEvent)
- The socket is 'attached' (see below for code)
but the events still arrive at the listening socket.
the WSAWaitForMultipleEvents goes off.
but WSAEnumNetworkEvents queries 0.
The implementation works fine for UDP (the same socket is used !)
Thanks in advance.
Greetings,
Niko
The code:
socket thread:
int CASyncSocket::SocketFunc()
{
WSAEVENT handles[]={
m_hStopEvent,
m_Read.hEvent,
m_Write.hEvent,
m_hEvent};
WSANETWORKEVENTS netEvents;
DWORD dwWaitResult;
DWORD dwTimeOut;
OnAttach();
for(;;)
{
if(m_ulTimeout == 0)
dwTimeOut = WSA_INFINITE;
else
dwTimeOut = m_ulTimeout;
dwWaitResult = WSAWaitForMultipleEvents(
sizeof(handles)/sizeof(WSAEVENT),
handles,
FALSE,
dwTimeOut,
TRUE);
if(dwWaitResult == WSA_WAIT_EVENT_0+3){
if(WSAEnumNetworkEvents(m_Socket, m_hEvent, &netEvents)!=SOCKET_ERROR)
{
if((netEvents.lNetworkEvents&FD_READ) == FD_READ)
{
_OnReceive(netEvents.iErrorCode[FD_READ_BIT]);
}
if((netEvents.lNetworkEvents&FD_WRITE) == FD_WRITE)
{
_OnSend(netEvents.iErrorCode[FD_WRITE_BIT]);
}
if((netEvents.lNetworkEvents&FD_CLOSE) == FD_CLOSE)
{
_OnClose(netEvents.iErrorCode[FD_CLOSE_BIT]);
}
if((netEvents.lNetworkEvents&FD_CONNECT) == FD_CONNECT)
{
_OnConnect(netEvents.iErrorCode[FD_CONNECT_BIT]);
}
if((netEvents.lNetworkEvents&FD_ACCEPT) == FD_ACCEPT)
{
_OnAccept(netEvents.iErrorCode[FD_ACCEPT_BIT]);
}
}
else
{
int iError = WSAGetLastError();
if(iError == WSANOTINITIALISED ||
iError == WSAENOTSOCK)
{
Close();
}
}
}
else if(dwWaitResult == WSA_WAIT_EVENT_0)
{
break;
}else if(dwWaitResult == WSA_WAIT_EVENT_0+1)
{
_OnReceiveComplete();
}else if(dwWaitResult == WSA_WAIT_EVENT_0+2)
{
_OnSendComplete();
}
else if(dwWaitResult == WSA_WAIT_FAILED)
{
break;
}
else if(dwWaitResult == WSA_WAIT_TIMEOUT)
{
_OnTimeout();
}
else
{
Close();
}
}
_OnClear();
if(bAutoDelete == true)
delete this;
return 0;
}
Accept function:
void CASyncSocket::Accept(CASyncSocket& SocketToAccept) const
{
ASSERT(SocketToAccept.m_Socket == INVALID_SOCKET);
SAcceptedSocket as;
int iLength=sizeof(sockaddr);
sockaddr sockaddress;
as.s = ::WSAAccept(m_Socket, &sockaddress, &iLength, NULL, 0);
as.addr = CIPAddress(sockaddress);
SocketToAccept.Attach(as.s,as.addr);
}
bool CASyncSocket::Attach(SOCKET s, const CIPAddress& Peername)
{
if(s!=INVALID_SOCKET){
Close();
m_Peername = Peername;
m_Socket = s;
if(Init() == true) // starts the thread
{
return true;
}
}
return false;
}

I might be wrong, but on purpose of a asychronous socket class is that you can handle all sockets with on thread context, so you have:
1) no disadvantages from context switches (very effective)
2) and need less semaphores when accessing common data (also no shared memory block).
in the past I tried to access CAsyncSocket derived from two threads and failed hard. I used a second thread to clear up dead sockets, which failed with a nice assert. Now, I use just one thread context for handling my whole server. The GUI or other stuff _can_ (not has to) still run in different threads.
Hope it helps a bit.

Hello,
In my CDialog, I use the following line to send a command to a dialog bar:
(((CMainFrame *)AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd)->m_SchedDlgBar1).PostMessage(ID_TEST);
My m_SchedDlgBar1 class has the following:
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CDiagGlobalSched, CDialogBar)<br />
...<br />
ON_COMMAND(ID_TEST, RefreshSchedBar)<br />
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
I have overidden the CMainFrm class's OnCmdMsg to see if this message ever shows up:
BOOL CMainFrame::OnCmdMsg(UINT nID, int nCode, void* pExtra, AFX_CMDHANDLERINFO* pHandlerInfo) <br />
{<br />
TRACE1("id:%d ", nID);<br />
if (m_SchedDlgBar1.OnCmdMsg(nID, nCode, pExtra, pHandlerInfo)) return TRUE;<br />
<br />
return CMDIFrameWnd::OnCmdMsg(nID, nCode, pExtra, pHandlerInfo);<br />
}
... and based on nID never being equal to ID_TEST (and my code not executing the designated function) it never shows up!? I've looked at examples and my code is exactly how they show it should be.
Where did my message go? Why did it not show up?
thanks!

Use 'PostMessage(WM_COMMAND, ID_TEST)'.

Perfect! Thanks Tomasz!
So MSDN says:
BOOL PostMessage( UINT message, WPARAM wParam = 0, LPARAM lParam = 0 );
...and my custom message ID was supposed to be a WPARAM, not a UINT (message)? I'm confused.... but I'll just have to get over it.

WM_COMMAND is message id. WM_COMMAND is sent in response to menu selections, accelerator keys being pressed and some events in controls like edit boxes. wParam contains the command id/control id.
message id != command id.

Thanks Tomasz,
I feel bemused by the fact that I couldn't find such a seemingly basic concept in the MSDN... do you know where such a thing would be documented? The MSDN page on CWnd.SendMessage() just says that wParam depends on the command being sent--nothing more.
I would be interested to understand the messaging better.
Thanks!

Sorry, it says that wParam depends on MESSAGE being sent, not command. You should understand the difference if you want to succeed in developing software for Windows.

Does anyone know, why metafiles work extremly slow for graphical filled objects in W2K?
I have a small app, which works fast on WindowsNT 4.0 and Windows XP but it slows down during META_CREATEREGION on Win2K.

Hi,
How can I detect an application instance..whether its already running or not?
I am running an application now I want that if that application is running then if I double click that application icon then it should popup the currently running application instance in place of opening a new instance.
Is it possible to detect application instance in VC6?
Thanks in advance

Suppose we execute a SQL query that returns various fields. Now in order to get value of certain field we use following methods:
vtField = pRecordset->Fields->GetItem("Name")->Value;
OR
vtField = pRecordset->GetCollect("Name");
But there are certain queries that do not return any field but a single value e.g
select count(userid) from mytable
Suppose i execute this query and its result is in RecordSet object. Now how can i retrieve this value as this is a single value and is not represented by any field ????
|
|
|
|
|
Try
select count(userid) as count from mytable
vtField = pRecordset->GetCollect("count");

How can I do decimal precision in an edit control? For example, .002 or 2E3 or 2E-3. I just can't find a way to get the decimal precision I would like and Setprecision(4) should give me 4 places past the decimal but it doesn't work(I would like for every thing to be in engeering mode.) Help!

You will have to manage the data yourself, Win32 does not provide any extra processing for numbers and things like that.
If you simply want the data to be displayed in a particular format you can wait for the edit control to lose focus then reformat the data yourself from the parent control.
However if you want to limit the characters that the user can type in and the format of their text you will have to do something a little more complicated. I would suggest subclassing the edit control to limit these characters.
Before you do that though I would search through this site and the internet, someone else has probably already created a control like this that you could use.
Good Luck

So, I figured out what I was doing with the GDI resources and everything works fine in 2000, NT, XP, and 98 SE. The only problem is, I'm getting the GDI resources running out when I run my app on straight up windows 98. Does anyone know what I need to get to be able to update the Straight Up version of 98 to have the GDI fix or whatever in it without having to purchase the SE? I don't want to tell my customers that they have to buy an upgrade to their OS just to use my app.

Are you sure your GDI objects are not selected into any DC when you're deleting them?
