Hey, thanks for the reply!
If I remember correctly, I tried this but even with a batch full build, the compiler appeared only to compile the resources once so all of the builds had the same comment.
I can't be 100% sure that this is what happened but I will check.

Each build will compile the .rc to a build specific .res.
Within the IDE go to Resource View.
Open the .rc file and add/select a Version.
Right-click on the Version and select Properties.
Edit the Condition field....cmk
The idea that I can be presented with a problem, set out to logically solve it with the tools at hand, and wind up with a program that could not be legally used because someone else followed the same logical steps some years ago and filed for a patent on it is horrifying.

The question is how function-level statics are constructed when the function is called on multiple threads?
Problem Description: Deadlock occurs and my application doesn't get terminated. During initialization of local static variable it tries to acquire MSVCR80!_lock and never gets hold on the lock.
Below is the calls stack and you will see that it will never get hold on the lock _mlock
(_EXIT_LOCK1); //C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\crt\src\crt0dat.c
ntdll!RtlpWaitForCriticalSection+0x132
ntdll!RtlEnterCriticalSection+0x46
MSVCR80!_lock+0x2e MyDLL!_onexit+0x36 [f:\sp\vctools\crt_bld\self_x86\crt\src\atonexit.c @ 103] MyDLL!atexit+0x9 [f:\sp\vctools\crt_bld\self_x86\crt\src\atonexit.c @ 127] MyDLL!__DllMainCRTStartup+0x7a [f:\sp\vctools\crt_bld\self_x86\crt\src\crtdll.c @ 498] MyDLL!_DllMainCRTStartup+0x1d [f:\sp\vctools\crt_bld\self_x86\crt\src\crtdll.c @ 462] ntdll!LdrpCallInitRoutine+0x14
// Code snippet below
void main()
{
atexit(MyCallBack);
exit(0);
}
void MyCallBack()
{
// Waitingforsingleobject() // Waits until all threads are terminated
}
The EXE call DllMain with DLL_THREAD_DETACH flag and we have an explicit handling as shown below
BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HANDLE, DWORD dwReason, LPVOID )
{
if(dwReason == DLL_THREAD_DETACH)
{
F1();
F2();
}
}
F1()
{
const static CComBSTR bstrMethod = __ FUNCTION __ ;
}
F2()
{
const static CComBSTR bstrMethod = __ FUNCTION __ ;
}
Is it thread safe to have local static initialization within a function. Also I noticed if static variable is once initialized before the exit() of main application I don't see any problem. Can any one please explain what might be issue?
Note: But when I make static variable as non static the deadlock doesn't occur and problem is solved.
Also let me know any alternate solution which might help in this situation Eagerly waiting for reply.irfan

In general a function that uses a local static variable is generally NOT reentrant. A function that is not reentrant is not thread-safe. It isn't merely deadlock, it can also produce bad results.
There is a different instance of an automatic variable for each invocation of a function, but all invocations share one and the same local static. Access to a shared resource from threads needs concurrency control.
In your case you are talking about a const variable. In this case, it shouldn't be a problem except during initialization. Further, the run time library seems to be putting in some concurrency control for what you are doing. This concurrency control is for a different issue and would probably not be adequate for your situation. It did get me to stop and take a broader look at your situation.
You are trying this in DLLMain. You really need to carefully read the documentaiion on DLLMain[^].
In particular:
Warning There are serious limits on what you can do in a DLL entry point.
and
Unfortunately, there is not a comprehensive list of safe functions in Kernel32.dll.
and
Calling functions that require DLLs other than Kernel32.dll may result in problems that are difficult to diagnose.
and
DLL notifications are serialized
The bottom line seems to be that you are getting too fancy for DllMain. I'd suggest thinking about your design and trying to keep DllMain as bare bones and simple as possible.Please do not read this signature.

Hi
I want to kill a process which is running in the memory. I can get its handle by using:
HWND FindWindow(
LPCTSTR lpClassName,
LPCTSTR lpWindowName
);
What function can I use to kill the running process?
Thanks,
|
|
|
|
|
You could PostMessage(hFoundWindow, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0);
...but it is not killing,
the process code may have an own translating of the message,
for example - a question "Are you sure ?"  Check your definition of Irrationality[ ^]

We use a couple of different functions to do it (probably over-kill) :
Use CreateToolhelp32Snapshot to get a snapshot of the current processes.
After that loop over the entries with Process32First and Process32Next and fetch the name of the process in the PROCESSENTRY32 structure.
And find the process in the list, use TerminateProcess with the handle in the PROCESSENTRY32 struct.
Good luck.Watched code never compiles.

GetWindowThreadProcessId(hWnd,&dwPid);
hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS|PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION ,FALSE,dwPid);

Well, Three answers, two using TerminateProcess, one using PostMessage. The latterone may not terminate, the former one can leave DLL's in an indeterminate state. Why not do as Microsoft does: Try Post Message, run a Progress Dialog for say 30 Seconds to see does it terminate, and if it does not, use TerminateProcess().
If the apps you want to terminate are all your own, you can include a special Message Handler for your own windows message: WM_TERMINATE_MY_PROCESSES, and post them to your apps.

And, what is your question exactly ? (please do not reply with something like "My code doesn't work). Provide some information about the problem you encounter.
And please, read the posting guidelines (first message in this forum).

Yeah but as I programmer, I use 0 based arrays, so this is the message with index 1, thus the first one

mmm not conviced. Even with 0-based arrays, index 1 would be the second element Regards.

Having errors is inherent to humans , and (maybe I am wrong but...) AFAIK only CPallini is a klingon, so... no problem.

I'm quite sure you program is buggy, anyway you didn't told us what is it supposed to do... If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

In addition to describing your problem, please use code tags and indent your code.
I would suggest that you initialize variables once when you create them, rather than multiple times later on. This would improve your code and eliminate some possibilities for errors.
I would also suggest using the debugger. I've spotted a bug by reading your code, that you should be able to quickly find with the debugger. You have to learn how to do this, best start now.Please do not read this signature.

Hi all,
I am working on a Win32 application. We are enhancing it by creating some part of UI in .Net/WPF. Our core code is in C/C++ and some part of UI is in .Net/WPF. And We integrate these modules (C/C++ and .Net) via Managed C++.
Now I have to provide drag drop support. I need to drag some content from .Net UI and dropping it in C++/Win32 UI.
Can anybody help me knowing how to go about it?
Or let me know please how to implement drag drop from outside a .Net application (I mean drag from a .Net application and dropping outside it)
If some sample code or hyper-link can is there, please let me know.
Thanks and Regards
Aseem

Hello people!
I have an editable combo box which has some items in its list. The text inside the edit field is set to something by the program initially, but this initial text is most of the time not amongst the items of the list part. If the user then clicks on the dropdown button to display the list the combo box seems to "auto-select" the very first item inside its list that begins with the same character serie as the text of the edit field replacing the text in the edit field itself. How to avoid this?
For example if the list contains these 2 items: {"apple", "pear"} and the edit field has "ap" in it, upon displaying the dropdown list "ap" in the edit field becomes "apple".
This event also doesn't seem to generate a CBN_EDITCHANGE notification, which leads to the GUI becoming "seemingly inconsistent" now, since the user sees the auto-selected item inside the edit field in the combo but no other change happens on the GUI so on other places he still sees the original, initially inserted text.
Any idea how to get rid of this unneeded (and annoying) "feature"? Thanks in advance for any answers.> The problem with computers is that they do what you tell them to do and not what you want them to do. <
> Sometimes you just have to hate coding to do it well. <

Try to use DDX_CBStringExact(CDataExchange* pDX, int nIDC, CString& value);
with a CString variable at parent of the box Check your definition of Irrationality[ ^]
