I agree, that's not bad code at all. Just code. Newbies should masters such C-like constructs in order to master C++.

Try calling fflush before each sleep call; this way, the text in stdout's buffer gets pushed to the console immediately:

printf("\n\nH");
fflush(stdout);
sleep(2);

printf("e");
fflush(stdout);
sleep(2);

printf("y\n\n");
fflush(stdout);
sleep(2);

Hi,

Is the only way to override members of a Base Class (and get to thier private members)

Is by having them declared Virtual ???

You can't get to a base class's private members from a derived class through overridden methods, whether they're virtual or not. A derived class can see public and protected members of its base class(es).

And you should also question why you're wanting to get at the base class's private members - either the base class is designed wrong or you're going the wrong way about things.

I am refering to the following Article wwww.codeproject.com/KB/threads/extended_thread.aspx

The Author is refering to A Contructer of CWinThread which is not documented in MSDN instead is in the thrdcore.h

In the artice he intilizes private memebers of CWinThead namely m_pThreadParams

m_pThreadParams = this;

class CWinThread : public CCmdTarget {
public:
CWinThread();
CWinThread(AFX_THREADPROC pfnThreadProc, LPVOID pParam); <---- Constructer

BOOL CreateThread(DWORD dwCreateFlags = 0, UINT nStackSize = 0,
LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttrs = NULL);

virtual BOOL InitInstance();
virtual int Run();
virtual BOOL PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg);
virtual BOOL PumpMessage(); // low level message pump
virtual BOOL OnIdle(LONG lCount); //return TRUE if more idle processing
virtual BOOL IsIdleMessage(MSG* pMsg); //checks for special messages

private:
LPVOID m_pThreadParams; //generic parameters passed to starting function
AFX_THREADPROC m_pfnThreadProc;
HANDLE m_hThread; // this thread's HANDLE
}

Well, see, here's the thing - m_pThreadParams is public (yes, PUBLIC) in the MFC I've got.

Have you got some counterfeit MFC or something?

Application Type - DLL (Pt. 2)

Ok, so I've followed these steps to the T: http://www.microsoft.com/express/2005/platformsdk/default.aspx

I'm able to see the option to create the DLL, but after I start a new project and compile it, the project is unable to find the 'windows.h' file(s).

Am I not pointing the IDE to the right location?

Here's what I have for my VCProjectEngine.Dll.Express.Config file. The "Larrow" and "Rarrow" are the left and right braces around the XML tags:

Larrow ?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"? Rarrow
Larrow VCPlatformConfigurationFile
Version="8.00"
Rarrow
Larrow Platform
Name="VCProjectEngine.dll"
Identifier="Win32"
Rarrow
Larrow Directories
Include="$(VCInstallDir)include;$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\include;$(FrameworkSDKDir)include;$C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Include"
Library="$(VCInstallDir)lib;$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\lib;$(FrameworkSDKDir)lib;$(VSInstallDir);$(VSInstallDir)lib;$C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Lib"
Path="$(VCInstallDir)bin;$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\bin;$(VSInstallDir)Common7\Tools\bin;$(VSInstallDir)Common7\tools;$(VSInstallDir)Common7\ide;$(ProgramFiles)\HTML Help Workshop;$(FrameworkSDKDir)bin;$(FrameworkDir)$(FrameworkVersion);$(VSInstallDir);$(PATH);$C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin"
Reference="$(FrameworkDir)$(FrameworkVersion)"
Source="$(VCInstallDir)crt\src"
/Rarrow
Larrow /Platform Rarrow
Larrow /VCPlatformConfigurationFile Rarrow

Anything wrong here? Maybe another step not being followed correctly?

Thanks

windows.h will be in the Windows SDK include folder, which is the "$C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Include" part of the include path.

Is the $ sign really in that bit of the include path, 'cause it looks wrong to me. If that solves your problem, then you'll also want to remove the $ signs in the equivalent parts of the Library and Path environment variables.

Also - does that folder (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Include) actually exist?

BTW - my install of VS2005 has $(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\include - I guess you've installed a new Platfrom SDK version and asked it to integrate with Visual Studio?

Hello all,

I have a derived CWnd control which I use as a container. I want the user to tab between child controls therefore I am setting the WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT. If I do that set, the application freezes as soon as the application loses focus... any idea why?

Thanks in advance!

"the IIS"? Really? There's only one installation of IIS in the entire universe? I'm pretty sure I have more than one right here in my own office, let me check... yes indeed I have two right here. Well given that reality I suppose we need some slightly more specific information from you in order to help. For the moment we will pretend that you not already realizing this, is a sign that you are attempting something beyond your current knowledge base. But hey, that never stops any of the hundreds of others we see copy/pasting their way around the internet.

Have you tried:

if (ver == ver2)
