Hi All,
I need to create a timer that would start once I start running a process from within my program.I need to know how much time it takes for the process to create the first output.For this I would need a timer.I case the timer value reaches a specified limit the process should be terminated.
What is the method I can do this.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks and regards,
Abhishek.

WaitForSingleObject with a timeout period should work for you.

There are several solutions. You could get the system time exactly before you the process begins and then get the system time exactly after the first output. Their difference is the duration time.

I am receiving some configuration setting via a XML document. One of the entry is the caption of a column header. The caption is given using a string ID (IDS_COL1_CAPTION) when extracting this info from the XML document the resulting value is a string containing “IDS_COL1_CAPTION”.
Is there a way to convert this text string ID into a numeric ID to be able to use the LoadString function of CString?
Thank you

nope. there's no automatic way to do it. you'll have to set up a mapping of strings to numerics. i would use a std::map.

I don't think so - if IDS_COL1_CAPTION is resource identifier. When you build exe/dll, the #defines are expanded to constant integers, there's no 'IDS_COL1_CAPTION' literal in executable.
You'd have to provide your own mapping from strings to integers.

This is what I was also thinking.

Hi, i'm currently planning to write a programm which allows the user to generate own dialogs to use defined functions.
I came around by letting the user add/modify dll-dialog resources.
I know ther are some resource editors out ther by whick you can edit the resources of existing (compiled) exe/dll files. (e.g. reshacker, restuner, PE Explorer,...)(Its also possible with VStudio, I know.)
There is an MSDN SDK sample called "DlgEdit" but with this you can only modify ".res" files...
BUT I dunnot want the USER to have VStudio installed to create his own dialogs.
So i thought about writing my own resource editor.
So does anyone now to help me in that problem??
I need to know where th resources are located in the exe/dll and how to "decompile" them and then paste back to the exe/dll again and the store the exe/dll.
help would be greatly welcome, as I'm not a master VC++ coder up to now

you will have to do this as an owner-drawn control . ie. you'll have to handling all the rendering of the cells yourself.

I feared that....could you give me a hint where I should start?
Which function should I override? Do you have any useful links?
thanks

there are some articles on www.codeguru.com that describe it (here's one: http://www.codeguru.com/listview/sel_row.shtml). it's not too bad.

Hi,
I have my Visual C++ 6.0 application that uses DAO and Microsoft Access (Trial.exe & Trial.mdb)! I would like to give that application and mdb to my friend to try, but he does not have Visual C++ & MicroSoft Access!
However I do have:
- Vbrun60.exe
- DaoRedis.exe (& its Setup.exe)
Can some one tell me in detail, what I need to do in other to include all neccessary files in my CD & give it to my friend?
Thank you for all help!

You need to install MSJet db engine.
You can install MDAC + MSJet engine (MSJet not included in MDAC >= 2.5)
See http://www.microsoft.com/data/ for MDAC and Jet files.

Hi Pavel,
Thank you very much for your help, but I have 2 un-cleared instructions:
1) In the website they did not mention about DAO (only ADO, OBDC & OLE DB), is that OK for DAO too?
2) Who will do the download: me or my friend who does not have Visual C++ & MS Access?
*) If it is me to do that then how I put files to my CD (for giving it to my friend), I will include Trial.exe, Trial.mdb & all download files?
Many thanks & hope you give me a bit more info!

1) DAO is a native interface of MS Jet database engine, so if You have MSJet installed, you can use DAO (MS Jet is database engine for MDB file format, Access is an app build over it like that one of yours.)
2) Files to download are MDAC in version and language of your selection (I'm using 2.6 right now, 2.7 is newest, I had no reason to download it) - one exe file setup and Microsoft Jet 4.0 Service Pack 3 - also one exe file setup where you can choose the language.

How do you avoid getting off the wall return dates when using CMonthCalCtrl::GetCurSel(CTime)? I've zeroed the time vars (hour, min, sec, milsecs) from my CTime object and still keep getting strange dates upon retrievals. E.g., when I pick May 1st, 2002, the date stored is Dec 8th, 2004. Here's a snippet from my code:
//zeroing time to avoid off-the-wall date retrievals
SYSTEMTIME systime;
m_calStockingDate.SendMessage(MCM_GETCURSEL,0,(LPARAM) &systime);
systime.wHour = systime.wMinute =
systime.wSecond = systime.wMilliseconds = 0;
//retrieving date
CTime StockDate(systime);
m_calStockingDate.GetCurSel(StockDate);//current selection is 5/1/2002
pDoc->m_nStockingDay = (int) StockDate.GetDay();//day is 8, should be 1
pDoc->m_nStockingMonth = (int) StockDate.GetMonth();//month is 12, should be 5
pDoc->m_nStockingYear = (int) StockDate.GetYear();//year is 2004, should be 2002
Thanks,
Ralf.

That is totally wierd!!!  you are right, CTime seems to get totally the wrong date. On my PC the day is consistently 12 days after the date you selected.
It wraps around so if you choose the 17th feb 1999, it comes up with the 1st march 1999. If you choose 16th Feb it gives you the 28th Feb 1999.
It does work correctly with:
BOOL GetCurSel( LPSYSTEMTIME pDateTime ) const;
though so you could always create a SYSTEMTIME structure and use the above method. Or you could create your own class, derived from CMonthCalCtrl and fix the dodgy method!!
Well spotted!

I think I figured it out. CTime also has hours, minutes, seconds, and millisecs. Your have to make sure to zero those for the date selections to work. Like this:
SYSTEMTIME sysTime;
m_calStockingDate.GetCurSel(&sysTime);
sysTime.wHour = sysTime.wMinute =
sysTime.wSecond = sysTime.wMilliseconds = 0;
//retrieving date
CTime StockDate(sysTime);//now date is stored as selected
It worked for me. Good luck,
Ralf.

 Hi,
I have a few simple pages like so,
1a.htm has a hyperlink to 1b.htm, and
2a.htm has a hyperlink to 2b.htm.
The only difference between 1a.htm and 2a.htm are language (German and English) and the tags and names are identical.
All pages are on the same directory. When I tested the pages on my company's IIS server the links work ok but when I put them on the client's apache server, clicking the link gave me 404 error. I even tried absolute path but getting nowhere!
Can someone share an idea or experience.
Will

Did you make sure that the case of the HREF matches the case of the actual pages on the Apache server?

Hi,
What do you mean by the actual pages on the Apache server? Do you mean the HREF on my pages have to be all lower case or upper case?
