Yeah - GUI Goodness and dangerous radiation. Want all your users growing a third arm, grabbing torches and pitchforks, then storming your office looking for blood? Then go right ahead, crack them pixels, address their internals like it's 1950 and Buck Rogers is gonna save the day in time for supper... 'Cause he ain't, and when your head is on a (pixelated) pike and the guys in bunny suits are cleaning up your mess, don't try using your undead lips to say i didn't warn you...

You're right.
These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

can I draw a rectangle with values (0.5, 0.75, 100.1, 100.4) or something like that

not without changing your mapping mode and viewport[^].

Krishnakumartg wrote:
according to my understanding pixel is the smallest possible drawing resolution

that is correct; you can not turn on 1/2 of a pixel. the best you can do is let Windows change the coordinate system you use to refer to the physical pixels. so, you can draw that rectangle, and have 100.1 appear at a different location than 100.0. but all you've really done is changed the way Windows interprets your drawing coordinates.

Getting the thread count of a process

Hey everybody!

How can I get the thread count of a process - like in task manager?
I have a handle to that process, but I can't find a way to get the count of the running threads.

Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks!!!!

First get the process id from your handle by calling GetProcessId(). Then Iterate the process in system[^] and locate your process by matching the process id. Then you'll get the total count of threads from PROCESSENTRY32.cntThreads.

Jijo.

Doubt in CTreeCtrl

I have created a tree control and added few items in it.
And i have used TVN_SELCHANGED notify message as below.
But i am not able to get item names using LPNMTREEVIEW structure instead its showing junk chars.

void CMyDlg1::OnTvnSelchangingTreectrl(NMHDR *pNMHDR, LRESULT *pResult)
{
   LPNMTREEVIEW pNMTreeView = reinterpret_cast<lpnmtreeview>(pNMHDR);

   CString str = pNMTreeView->itemNew.pszText; //junk values?
   
   CString str1 = m_TreeCtrl.GetItemText(m_TreeCtrl.GetSelectedItem()); // OK

   .....
}</lpnmtreeview>

According to MSDN, that is to be expected.

"The itemOld and itemNew members of the NMTREEVIEW structure are TVITEM structures that contain information about the previously selected item and the newly selected item. Only the mask, hItem, state, and lParam members of these structures are valid. The stateMask members of the TVITEM structures specified by itemOld and itemNew are undefined on input."

To set screen resolution, you've to use ChangeDisplaySettings(). For that this[^] will help you. May need to have a look at this[^] too. And I think you can dig out better how to use them. Smile | :)

Use of SetProcessAffinityMask

Hi All !

I'm running an application that spwans several processes and threads, it runs on Windows 2003 Server OS and using 8 cpu's machine(Xeon).
We are considering the use of SetProcessAffinityMask to allocate heavy processing jobs to a spcific cpu. My question therfore is this:

Using SetProcessAffinityMask, is it possible to tell the OS that I want my process to be the only one using that cpu (i.e. no other process, mine or the OS's, is allowed to run on it) ? is it possible ? Unsure | :~

We wish to get deteministic results when system is working for long periods of time.

thanks,
Amit Smile | :)

I don't believe so.

You may want to use SetThreadAffinityMask to distribute threads among processors,
but there's no guarantee the system will actually use your suggestions.

Try it and test it thoroughly to see if you're actually getting any benefit -
from my experience, on XP and above, the OS thread scheduler does a pretty good
job without intervention.

If you wish to pass command line arguments in IDE go to "Project | Properties | Debugging | Command Arguments". Here you can specify your command line arguments.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks,
