Dude,
are you going to send a instance of a class containig some stuff... like an array object which has some name/address/tp etc in them?
You've to serialize them. To do so, use CArchive class to read the objects into archive, and send it along the network. Look for the ref. on how to use CArhive, CSocket, and CSocketFile on msdn website.

If you're using MFC:
BeginWaitCursor();
...
EndWaitCursor();

Better yet, use the RAII class CWaitCursor.

New question of the day. How can you download a file that needs you to accept a security certificate? Also I get a fail on the username/password using the http://UserName:Password@URL.com/file.ext. This may be due to the security certificate as well. Is there a way around this?

Hi.
I discovered an interesting bug in an MFC multithreaded program. I found that when you delete a pointer to the worker thread's parameter (declared using new operator), the destructor of the class that is part of the parameter is called.
-----
// This is global.
struct THREADPARAMS
{
ClassA *pCA;
}
// This code is in the primary or main thread.
THREADPARAMS *ptp = new THREADPARAMS;
// Assume that clObject is a member variable and is an instance
// of a ClassA.
ptp->pCA = &clObject;
...
CWinThread *Thread = AfxBeginThread(ThreadFunction, ptp, ...);
// Assume everything works.
// Here is ThreadFunction
UINT ThreadFunction(LPVOID *pParams)
{
THREADPARAMS *ptp = reinterpret_cast<threadparams *="">(pParams);
ClassA *pClassA = ptp->pCA;
// Here is the code that causes the bug.
// I studied Jeff Prosise book on MFC.
// Prosise deleted the new struct inside the worker thread.
delete ptp;
-----
Okay. Lets get to the point. "delete ptp" calls ClassA destructor. I am not sure how to get this working.
My goal is to pass into a worker thread pointers to private data members of the primary thread (main) including primitive data type and ADT. I would like to know is the situation above normal or is there a flaw in my design?
Thanks,
Kuphryn

I can't see why "delete ptp" should touch ClassA. That said you haven't included the declaration for ClassA, and the answer may lie there.
Have you stepped into the delete ptp in the debugger to see if the ClassA destructor is really being called there?

Okay. Thanks.
Yeah something is definitely wrong. I will try to setup more breakpoints to see what triggers ClassA destructor. As far as I know right now, ClassA destructor gets triggered before the worker thread begins and even before the worker thread is resumed (note I declared the worker thread as suspended in order to duplicated its handle).

I see that you assign ptp->pCA = &clObject ....
Question: Does clObject go out of scope? ( it is automatic in the function where you are filling out the ptp structure ) .... that could do it you know......
Why not : ptp->pCA = new ClassA; ????

Okay. Thanks.
I see the problem.
You were right. The problem had to do with scope. The class destructor gets called as the function goes out of scope.
I fixed the bug.

Hi,
here is a tricky question... I have a customized listbox (own colors). Now I'd like to specify the background of the listbox's scrollbar (a child of the listbox). Is this possible?

Hi all,
I am experiencing a very strange problem with windows XP, and I believe that it is related to the themes, but I am not certain.
I have a topmost style window, that contains an IE control. When I display a context (popup) menu, it appears, then the parent window is forced to repaint, and it repaints on top of the context menu. This happens for the dropdown list box portion of a select control in the embedded HTML of the IE control.
The funny thing is that I can click a few times, and finally get the menu to appear on top of the window. Also if I right click on the desktop to bring up that context menu, the problem occurs, so I think that I have eliminated the possibility of me displaying the popup menu incorrectly.
This problem does not happen on any other OS. I am about to try to disable XP desktop themse and display using the classic UI.
If anybody else has experienced this problem, or knows how to solve it, I would really apprecieate hearing from you.
Thank you

using the classic windows UI does not change anything regarding this problem on Windows XP.

I have not tested this, but : could problem be that parent is set to topmost window style and you having a z-order shoot-out?

I used SPy++ and found the cause.
I am using Jeffrey Richters Appbar class that appeared in an MSDN article a while back. This class handles a notification when a full screen app is shown, and moves the topmost appbar to the bottom of the zorder to prevent it from covering up the full screen window.
In windows XP for some reason, I get about 7 of these notification messages right in a row (I am unsure of the origin of these messages) and this is what is causing the appbar to repaint.
Now I am looking for this cause to hopefully handle this problem in XP gracefully.

Dear all,
This would be a major easy question to most people here but
How do I launch another program from my program, and to just show the other program window if the program is already launched? Just out of interest, how do I launch a seperate instance of the program instead of just showing it?
Many many Thanks,
Chun Te

Many ways.....a couple of which are:
the std library call: system
thw Win32 call: CreateProcess
the Win32 call: ShellExecute

This may not be up to you....It depends on if the "other program" will allow itself to run simultaneous multiple instances

Dear all,
I was told by my professor to make a program in Perl and that is done. I now would like to intergrate it into a GUI program that will execute the Perl program. If this is possible, how do I do so? Does the user have to have a copy of Perl on his/her computer?
Many thanks.

Yes, they'll need to have perl installed, unless you package the perl program up into an exe using perlapp from activestate or perl2exe from I forgot who. Neither are free, but you can get a 7 day trial license of perlapp, that may do the trick.

I love Perl. It's so great that I like with
my C++ too. Here's info on embedding a Perl
interpreter into your C/C++ projects.
No need for the user to install Perl, just
build in your own interpreter into your projects.
