Label->Text = days->ToString();
By the way there is a separate forum for Managed C++.

Thanks, but this does not work. I need to compute the numeric day toString() gives me 11/22/2009 but I need 365.

But you mentioned that you were able to compute the number of days from date time. You can also try Convert::ToInt32(str);

Hi,
I recently upgraded several MFC projects at work from Visual Studio 2005 to 2008. However, when I distribute the recompiled executables with the new Studio 2008 DLL's, I'm getting the "configuration error" that always comes up when dlls/dependencies/manifests are wrong/missing. Looking at the binary, I see that two of my apps are depending on a previous version of MFC90.dll, but the MFC.manifest file is pointing to the latest version. I'm thinking that this is causing the error, but my question is, how do I get my apps to compile/depend on the same version of the dll that the manifest is pointing to?
Thanks!

Hi,
My application serializes objects to disk but the files do not appear to contain the schema number - just my data. My class is derrived from CObject and uses the DECLARE_SERIAL and IMPLEMENT_SERIAL macros but the very first data member I serialise is a class which does not use the macros. Could this be the reason.
I need to add more data members to my class and the files that have already been written contain very important data so there is no possibility of me starting again.
Can anybody give me any advice what to do?
Thanks

You didn't use VERSIONABLE_SCHEMA or add your own versioning to
your serialization?

Could someone familiar with AVI please explain to me why I need to run a timer to execute AVI procedure callback?
In CView derived class I successfuky create (class.Create) AVI frame grabber ( in OnInitialUpdate). In Create I successfuky execute capSetCallbackOnFrame - passing callback procedure.
This procedure will not execute unless I set a timer during the frame creation.
( My is set to 1 ms.)
I have read the documentation and it does not say anything about any delay necessary after the capSetCallbackOnFrame is executed during the frame setup.
Thanks for reading.
Any constructive comments are appreciated.
Cheers Vaclav
Addendum:
It is getting even more confusing - the callback procedure runs after
capGrabFrameNoStop is executed - in my timer function.
I thought that capSetCallbackOnFrame does the "calling" of the callback procedure.
Back to reading documentation.
And the documetation saiz - there is a difference between CAPSTATUS and CAPTUREPARMS !

If you are streaming, then the frame callback doesn't get called.
You need to use the stream callback instead.
You shouldn't need a timer - VFW will call your callback on its own thread(s).

Mark,
I am making progrees but still have some dumb questions.
After I create the AVI frame I initialize the video driver, preview and get status.
In CAPSTATUS I see an entry fLiveWindow and I think I want it to be true, but default is false.
Is seems that "streaming" is burried in these CAPSTATUS variables.
But I cannot set the status and the documetation saiz that it is "dynamic".
I think I am missing the actual start of video capture but I can get the preview - one frame - just fine and get the callback to work when capGrabFrameNoStop is executed.
But accoring to the doc the callback shoul also work "directly" from preview.
Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone.
I've made a working thread that interact with a window by user-defined messages (WM_USER + x).
I would like use WPARAM and/or LPARAM to give to the window objects allocated in the working thread.
In few words, I would like obtain the same result that the Windows achieve with message like WM_CREATE (LPARAM is a pointer to a structure).
I know that the object I want pass through the message must be deallocated and I've tried to use the SendMessageCallback function, but the callback user-defined function is called only if GetMessage, PeekMessage or WaitMessage are called by the same thread (MSDN docet).
Anyone can help me?
Thanks a lot,
Sergio

That's a tricky one. Maybe you can solve it by using PostMessage and having the message handling end do the delete but if the allocation was on a different thread this might be dangerous.
Can you use two messages, one to tell the Window end to allocate a structure, write a pointer to it at a specified address and then set an Event and the second, triggered in the secondary thread by the event, to tell the Window that structure has been filled in.
Kind of like:-
Window Thread Secondary Thread
Set up a pointer pStruct
Post a msg to the Window with pStruct
Wait on a shared event
Recieve msg with &pStruct
pStruct = new Struct
Set Shared Event
pStruct is now allocated so fill it
SendMessage to Window
Recieve msg<--------------------------
Process and delete pStruct----------->Secondary Thread continues
Perhaps that's over complicated and all you need is PostMessage but I've struggled with a few of these in the past.
Watch it when your controls are being destroyed that you don't leak allocations that havn't been used yet.

I might be missing something here, but what stops you from doing something like this:
FOOBAR *pData = new FOOBAR();
SendMessage( hWnd, WM_DO_FOOBAR_THING, (WPARAM)pData, NULL );
delete pData;

Ummm, I don't see what the problem is.... 
You don't say anything about what you've tried so far and how it fails, it looks to be more of a design question...
Atropus wrote: I've made a working thread that interact with a window by user-defined messages (WM_USER + x)
Quite all right, as long as you use PostMessage() and not SendMessage() to avoid a deadlock situation. But you should not use WM_USER; at least use WM_APP.
What you really should do is use registered messages.
Read this[^].
Atropus wrote: I would like use WPARAM and/or LPARAM to give to the window objects allocated in the working thread.
This should in most cases be fine as well, depending on what type of object you're allocating. Read the article linked to above.
It could be dangerous if it's an MFC object since MFC classes wraps objects like e.g. windows and sockets that are referred to through a handle and the MFC object handle map is on per thread basis.
But if it really is an MFC object your trying to pass you should re-evaluate your design because you'll get into troubles sooner or later.
Atropus wrote: I know that the object I want pass through the message must be deallocated and I've tried to use the SendMessageCallback function
Deallocate the object in the message handler.
The only danger you'll expose yourself to is a memory leak if the message for some reason should not be handled. But if that happens the memory leak would be the least of your problems.
You should really read this article[^] before continuing with your worker thread.
It's the best introduction to worker threads I've come across.

I have the following:
CFileDialog dlg(FALSE,"for",Filename,OFN_CREATEPROMPT | OFN_HIDEREADONLY |OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT |OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST ,
"New Format (*.fr)|*.fr| Oldformat (*.fr)|*.fr||",this);
which will create two options on the drop down choice, How can I flag between the two options when the files have the same extension (.fr) in this case? Does this class have a member that will let me know which choice is selected?
Thanks

Are you referring to the nFilterIndex member (of OPENFILENAME)?

As a general user interface design principle, it is probably not a good idea to make the user determine whether the file is in the "new" format or not. Can you not simply have one entry for "*.fr" files and programmatically figure out whether it is new or old?

I don't think its quite possible in my case. The problem is between sharing files between new application that uses (Serializes new variables)and users who still have the old applications (They cannot open new serialized files).

One way you can deal with this is to include version numbers in your file format and have your application inspect it to determine whether it is able to open it. If your old file format did not have a version number then start including one in the new version and interpret the absence of a version number in a file as an indication of it being in the old format. It is common for applications to be backward compatible but not the other way around, i.e., new versions of the application should be able to deal with files created using older versions but it is not necessary for older versions of the application to be able to deal with files created using the new version. Having said that, it would be desirable for applications to handle it gracefully when it encounters a file created using a newer version (use the file with reduced functionality maybe or fail to open it altogether with a user-friendly error message).

Hi,
Could you please help me in this issue.
I am using CTime in my code which is failing for the dates greater than 2038.Could please suggest any approach to read the dates greater than 2038.
My code is:
CTime t(y, m, d, 0, 0, 0);
if(y!=t.GetYear() || m!=t.GetMonth() || d!=t.GetDay())
{
bRet = FALSE;
}
This code is basically for displaying a Invalid date.
Thanks a lot in advance............

In theory you could use with your CDateTimeCtrl any date in the COleDateTime range.
Some things seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

If you are sure that LPBYTE contains a valid TCHAR* null terminated string then you can cast it to LPTSTR and assign to CString.
