Hi,
if yes then thread id's are unique
as only the thread id is specfied on the PostThreadMessage
MSDN says that for msgs WM_USER and above sent to another process I must do custom marshalling
Don't know what this means ???
|
|
|
|

As far as i know, yes, PostThreadMessage does work between processes, and marshalling -also as far as i know- is executing code in the context of another thread, something like, if you have thread A and B and the method C and the thread A needs the method C to be executed by thread B then A "marshalls" the call to thread B (by sending messages, or using events...), there's probably much more to it but it basicly means this. Correct me anyone if i am completely wrong with this...

And Can I also use wparam and lparam
to send data to that thread/process
|
|
|
|

That depends on the kind of data you wish to send. For example sending a simple integer to the thread is ok, but for example sending a pointer to a string (converted to LPARAM or WPARAM) and trying to use it on the other end will most likely lead to crashes.

They are saying is that WM_USER and above are application specific. It's possible for WM_USER+1 to mean one thing in one app and another thing in another app. It is your responsibility to make sure they mean the same thing.
e.g.
Process A: #define WM_MYFOO WM_USER+10
Process B: #define WM_MYFOO WM_USER+11
This would be bad as the code would likely be:
Process A: PostThreadMessage(WM_MYFOO)
Process B: if( msg == WM_MYFOO )
and process B would think it's getting a different message.
Usually not an issue as both processes should use a common header that defines WM_MYFOO.
The same goes for whatever you pass as LPARAM and WPARAM.
...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.

Offcourse they are unique until they are process is alove, but once process is terminated, they can be assigned to another process.
And next is about marshalling. It duplicating the handles. Just have a look on this article which will help you get the knowledge regarding the same.
Inside Windows Handles
Now here is sample that explains, how you can send a message to other process thread.
Now here WM_QUIT is send to Task Manager and it can be terminated from our process using PostThreadMessage.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <windows.h>
#include <commctrl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
char tWindow[]="Windows Task Manager";
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
HWND hWnd;
DWORD proc;
DWORD hThread;
hWnd = FindWindow(NULL,tWindow);
if(hWnd == NULL)
{
return 0;
}
hThread = GetWindowThreadProcessId(hWnd,&proc);
if(hThread == NULL)
{
return 0;
}
char buffer[MAX_PATH];
char *message = "hello";
sprintf(buffer, "say %s", message);
PostThreadMessage((DWORD) hThread,(UINT) WM_QUIT,0,(LPARAM)buffer);
printf("+ Done...\n");
return 0;
}
Hope things are clear

I'm missing something totally fundamental here but have yet to figure it out. I've got a class called JOBINFO. I create instances of it on the heap and add those pointers to a map. When I need to reuse the map, I call its RemoveAll() method. Internally, that method is supposed to call the overridden DestructElements() which then calls each object's destructor. That is not happening.
class JOBINFO
{
public:
JOBINFO()
{
TRACE("Constructor\n");
}
~JOBINFO()
{
TRACE("Destructor\n");
}
};
...
void AFXAPI DestructElements( JOBINFO* pJobInfo, int nCount )
{
TRACE("DestructElements()\n");
}
...
CMap<int, int, JOBINFO*, JOBINFO*> m_mapJobInfo;
...
m_mapJobInfo.SetAt(123, new JOBINFO);
...
m_mapJobInfo.RemoveAll();Any ideas?

RemoveAll doesn't actually delete objects - it might call the d'tor on the pointer, but that's a no-op.
you have to delete the objects manually.

I know that. It internally calls DestructElements() which then calls each object's destructor. I'm trying to figure out why neither is getting called in my case.

not in the version of MFC that comes with VS05:
afxtempl.h
template < class KEY, class ARG_KEY, class VALUE, class ARG_VALUE>
void CMap < KEY, ARG_KEY, VALUE, ARG_VALUE >::RemoveAll()
{
ASSERT_VALID(this);
if (m_pHashTable != NULL)
{
for (UINT nHash = 0; nHash < m_nHashTableSize; nHash++)
{
CAssoc* pAssoc;
for (pAssoc = m_pHashTable[nHash]; pAssoc != NULL;
pAssoc = pAssoc->pNext)
{
pAssoc->CAssoc::~CAssoc();
}
}
}
...
VS08 has those two lines commented-out, as well.

Wow! In VS6, those two lines are not commented out. I guess that MSDN is wrong when it states:
Removes all the values from this map by calling the global helper function DestructElements.
So, is there no longer a way for the framework to assist in freeing heap objects from a map? I can work around this by deriving a class from CMap and implementing a "cleanup" method that I can call instead of RemoveAll(), but didn't want to unless I had to.

Do you know any library with the maps,
that delete given pointers by default ? 
You could define a map with CString values
and you would get their destructors at removing.
An "overwritten" DestructElements(..) function has no role,
elsewise we could not instance a map or - at least - call RemoveAll(),
without to must implement it always
virtual void BeHappy() = 0;

I was not looking to have the map delete the pointers.

Try as I might, I can make no sense of this.

std::map with boost::shared_ptr comes in mind (or any STL compatible auto pointer)

Good point !
This[^] class could provide a solution for David :
class Info
{
public:
Info() {};
~Info() {};
...
};
...
CMap <int,int, CAutoPtr<Info>, CAutoPtr<Info>> mapInfos;
...
mapInfos.SetAt(123, CAutoPtr<Info>(new Info));
...
mapInfos.RemoveAll();
virtual void BeHappy() = 0;

No more, unless you wrap your pointers (if I understood correctly [^] and [^]).

m_mapJobInfo.SetAt(123, new JOBINFO);
You are calling constructor: JOBINFO*, not JOBINFO.
It is important to understand the difference.
Make the map as:
CMap<int, int, JOBINFO, JOBINFO&> m_mapJobInfo;
And the DTOR will be called.

Hai friends,
i'm working with client server model socket programing using VC++.
it has MFC SOCKET in client side and WIN32 SOCKET in server console application.
i'm having proplem with receiving the strings in server side.
i displayed part of code here
Client Side Coding:
UpdateData(1);
CSocket client;
client.Create ();
CString sendstr;
sendstr="Hello";
client.Connect ("127.0.0.1",2500);
int len=sendstr.GetLength ();
int sent= client.Send(LPCTSTR(sendstr),len);
UpdateData(0);
Server side coding:
char recvbuf[32]="" ;
int bytesRecv = recv( server, recvbuf, 32, 0 );
printf( "Bytes Recv: %d\n", bytesRecv );
recvbuf[bytesRecv]=NULL;
printf("%S",recvbuf);
if i run the code i get 5 in bytesRecv correctly..
but in recvbuf buffer three letters only available... like "hel"
please help me l'm waiting for u...

Your string is not UNICODE, why do you want to print it as such?

Are you using TCP ?
If yes, put the flag TCP_NODELAY.
It's a classic error issue, in fact many people are confused by TCP.
It's a simple example but with the TCP_NODELAY flag you should be able to receive your 5 bytes at once.

Your client side project is UNICODE. Either select MBCS in project settings, or
CStringA sendstr;<br />
sendstr="Hello";<br />
client.Connect ("127.0.0.1",2500);<br />
int len=sendstr.GetLength ();<br />
int sent= client.Send( LPCSTR(sendstr),len);
CString is macro, which translates to CStringA or CStringW. You can assign either Unicode or ANSI string, CStringW/CStringA will take care of that.

hai,
I want to get notified of any process (E.g. mstsc.exe ) at the time or its starting.
How can I do it.
Please provide some useful hints.
