The width of each character in a font is different, unless it is a monospaced font.
You can use GetTextMetrics[^] to get the average width of the characters of a font.

Hi,
if i debug my application, and want to close them, i receive sometimes this strange error in

// Disconnect connection
void CDatabase::Close()
{
	ASSERT_VALID(this);

	// Close any open recordsets
	AfxLockGlobals(CRIT_ODBC);
	TRY
	{
		while (!m_listRecordsets.IsEmpty())
		{
			CRecordset* pSet = (CRecordset*)m_listRecordsets.GetHead();
			pSet->Close();  // will implicitly remove from list
			pSet->m_pDatabase = NULL;
		}
	}
	CATCH_ALL(e)
	{
		AfxUnlockGlobals(CRIT_ODBC);
		THROW_LAST();
	}
	END_CATCH_ALL
	AfxUnlockGlobals(CRIT_ODBC);

	if (m_hdbc != SQL_NULL_HDBC)
	{
		RETCODE nRetCode;
		AFX_SQL_SYNC(::SQLDisconnect(m_hdbc)); // here is error???
		AFX_SQL_SYNC(::SQLFreeConnect(m_hdbc));
		m_hdbc = SQL_NULL_HDBC;

		_AFX_DB_STATE* pDbState = _afxDbState;

		AfxLockGlobals(CRIT_ODBC);
		ASSERT(pDbState->m_nAllocatedConnections != 0);
		pDbState->m_nAllocatedConnections--;
		AfxUnlockGlobals(CRIT_ODBC);
	}
}

But the best is i dont habe any kind of database in my project included????
Does any one have a answer for this issue???

thanks for any help!

Look at the call stack and you can figure out the sequence of functions that are being called.
From this you can understand how the control reached that particular function.

Hello community,
how to create a second window that is always on top of a main window,
so if i click on the main window that this pop up window stay on top until my function is finished??!?
I create a simple dialog with the resource editor and set "Set Foreground" to true,
but even if i click on the main dialog this new little dialog is in the background, how to avoid this?
If i set "Topmost" to true, than is my pop up dialog always on top, but for all other windows too,
and i like that hi is only for my main dialog in the foreground!?

Thanks for help
Arrin

EDIT: after i show my child dialog and bring him to top i disable my main dialog to make him unklickable and when my funktion is finished i enable him again,
but im not sure that this is the right way!?

// in my funktion:
dlgProgress.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
dlgProgress.SetForegroundWindow();
EnableWindow(FALSE); // for main dialog
// after funktion:
EnableWindow(TRUE); // for main dialog

Looks like you need a modal dialog.
If you're using MFC, call CDialog::DoModal[^].
Otherwise call DialogBox[^].

I may have had a similar problem back several months ago. I have a modeless PropertySheet (a modeless tabbed dialog window) separate from my main Doc-View window.

I created my modeless PropertySheet window:

<br />
// Modeless property sheet - with parent window as such and call to SetWindowPos() allows for property sheet to be on top<br />
m_pSettings->Create(this, WS_SYSMENU | WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | DS_MODALFRAME | DS_CONTEXTHELP, WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME);<br />
m_pSettings->SetWindowPos(this,0,0,0,0,SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE);<br />

I do recall that there was something special to this (modeless property sheet) and the peeps here helped me out!

Hi,

i am using MFC application in this application i need to display the received messages from the server (may be a chance for receiving more than one messages at a time) i need to display the received and send messages in the Listbox.
i tried it in normal way, but the UI getting freezed after some time. I can able to log that message. So i tried it in some other way, like using queue
the received messages are added in the queue and at thet time timer is running and one thread will pop the pushed messages in to the ListBox.

Using thread how can i get the pushed value?

Thanks,
Ratheesh.

You should add the messages to the queue using a worker thread, then notify it to the GUI thread (using, for instance PostMessage). The GUI thread eventually pops messages from the queue and displays them. of course you've to lock in same way queue access.

it's probably not safe AS-IS. (stl is not by design thread-safe)

I suggest you implement a simple synchronization mechanism (see Thread Synchronization for Beginners[^] )

Read this article very carefully:
http://www.flounder.com/debug_release.htm[^]

It lists many common errors that show up in Release rather than Debug mode, and also how to add symobols so you can work out where things are actually crashing.

As for "many different locations", then try and get just one location at a time by being very consistent in how you get to the crash.

Good luck,

Iain.

Use Process Dumper tool to get the dump file and analyze it.

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

The name of the module and the offset of the exception will be in the users Application Log of the event viewer. Although a crash dump is certainly useful there is no reason to create one.

How to view and manage event logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP[^]

You can use WinDbg to find the corresponding code if you have saved your symbols. It is very important that you use the same symbols at the time of the Release build otherwise you will not find the correct crash location.

of course you can ...

#include <queue>

see http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/stl/queue/[^] for examples (click on the member funtions on the left hand side of the page)

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
