Similar to how you can drag an image file onto a photoshop (or similar program) shortcut, then photoshop opens and displays the image you dragged. Thanks.
Those will get passed into a new instance of your application as command-line parameters - full paths to the folders from my brief testing.

Awesome! This worked perfectly. The first command line argument seems to always be the pathname to the executable. All later arguments match up with the folders I dragged onto the icon. For reference, I used
array<String^>^ cmdLineArgs = System::Environment::GetCommandLineArgs();
inside the Form's load event handler to get the arguments.
Thank you again for your help, saved me some major headaches

Yes, that's right.
I tested using the string array passed into main() - that doesn't include the executable pathname (at least in C++/CLI applications - it is included in the main() argument list in native C++ apps).

I'm looging to use my old Axim Pocket PC with PPS2003 OS as a clock and to not let it on 24/7 I'd like a option to let it turn on at let say 6:00 and of at 22:00 automatically.

CString constructor or assingnment or serialization of CString causes the application crash in a multi-processor environment,(this happens in a heavily loaded condition when more than 500 threads are running)
whereas it does not cause any problem in single processor environment.
|
|
|
|
|
So what does that tell you...you've got synchronisation problems somewhere in your code - multiple threads accessing the string simultaneously. You don't see the erroneous behaviour in the single-processor system because a single-processor system doesn't have real concurrency.
You will need to track down where the issue is. Good luck...'cause you're going to need it...

I want to get my computer model name without using WMI.
Model name for example one of the HP's workstation model name is "HP xw4400" i want to get using VC++/MFC program.
Please help.
If it is not possible please suggest some code that uses WMI.

Hello,
Thanks for your help.
Sorry for late reply.
The link suggested by you give detail to get system device details but not system model.
Thanks

Visual Studio 2008 uses .net framework 3.5 for my application. I hope it uses .net framework. How can I change its version?
This 'targeted platform' option is grey in the project properties.
|
|
|
|
|
You can change that in Project Properties -> Application -> Target Framework.
This is not greyed when I tried it.

I use Visual studio 2008 Professional version.
microsoft provides inforamtion to choose .net framework version for Visual Studio Team System Architecture Edition at link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb675522.aspx .
I can not find the 'Settings and Constraints' in the right click menu.
Which version do you use?

I also use VS 2008 Professional edition.

in my appliacation i created two dialog boxes.each dialog box contains two text boxes and one button.if i enter data in two text boxes and click the button the data should be reflected in second dilog box and vice versa .all this should be done using socket programming..please let me know the solution in MFC

The most important thing you should realise is that during the night it's usually colder than outside.
Apart from that, try to read (and understand) all the replies you have received so far.

Hi all,
this is just FYI. A short while ago I posted a (still unresolved) problem about weird timing behaviour under win32.
I now found this interesting article:
http://www.espresso-soft.org/publications/janno_grobbler_etal_saicsit2005.pdf[^]
It describes the troubles I have more scientificly and actually proposes a resolve. The MultiMedia timer structure should be able to break the 15.6ms timing resolution. But sadly, even with the MM timer I get the same trouble. I´ll keep searching.

Use QueryPerformanceFrequency / QueryPerformanceCounter. The resolution is in the microsecond range.
However, if you are trying something that depends on accurate timer intervals (i.e. realtime) then Windows is the wrong OS. 
|
|
|
|
|
I know, thanks  . The intervals don´t have to be that accurate but I´d generally need time-slices below <= 5ms.
I just wrote a little test program that acts as a millisecond stopwatch, once with Win32 System Timer and once with MM timer. The funny thing is, under Vista OS I find the behaviour described in the paper. 15.6 ms minimum sleep intervals with System timer and 1-2 ms accuracy with MM timer. But under Windows XP both have 15.6 ms, even the MM timer! This thing is driving me crazy ... I almost feel like the computers have actually united to bring down my sanity ...

Did you use timeGetDevCaps and timeBeginPeriod to query/set the resolution?
I used these functions a loooong time ago and I vaguely remember that you tinker with the driver this way.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, I did. And it gave me a possible resulution of 1ms ... *&/%$+#^^°*

Which is reasonably accurate but it is at best an approximation. Running your program multiple times will likely produce different results because the amount of data in the cache changes and will thus require more/less CPU cycles to execute.

If you look up multimedia timers in MSDN, you'll find they're marked obsolete and that you should use TimerQueueTimers instead (remember them?).
As I believe I mentioned before, even when you get round the timer resolution thing, you will not reliably avoid the issue of the Windows scheduler giving another thread a time-slice, so causing you to miss your required time by up to 1 time-slice quantum. The only way you can get that reliability is with a proper real-time operating system, like VxWorks or a real-time Linux. Windows is not designed to give you that reliability - it's designed to give optimum throughput and user responsiveness.
