Re: *.MAK files Gary R. Wheeler25-Dec-02 4:34 Gary R. Wheeler 25-Dec-02 4:34  Microsoft supplies a tool called NMAKE[^]. NMAKE is an example of a 'make' tool. Make tools use a text file that defines a set of rules and a set of dependencies. The rules define the actions required to build a program. For example, a make file may have a rule that defines how to convert a ".cpp" file to a ".obj" file (in other words, how to compile it). Similarly, it may have another rule for how to convert an ".obj" file to an ".exe" file (how to link it). Dependencies are a list of files that depend on other files. As an example, a dependency may specify that main.obj depends on main.cpp. If main.obj doesn't exist, or is out of date with respect to main.cpp, will cause the tool to try and make it. The make tool will look for a rule on how to 'make' main.obj from main.cpp. As others have noted, in today's world of IDE's, make files aren't used as often, since the IDE manages the build. Also, different compiler manufacturers will implement different syntax in their make files. Make files are useful though in handling build activities that the IDE doesn't handle. For example, building help files or distribution media can often be handled with a make tool.

But I can not prevent these events from performing their tasks. I want to have my application interupt showing the task bar and switching to other windows. Can you help me for this issue?

I'm taking a couple of functions from a windows program and putting them in to my console application (with mfc) but to call one function I need a pointer to the output device. In windows this pointer pointed to a list box, but since consoles don't have those I want to write to the basic output device (like cout does). I've got ostream* Console = NULL; Console = ??? I can't find out how to tell the pointer that it points to the console window. Is this possible? The functions simply get the atached printers and display the text strings. Obseve everything, remember more...

Standard Windows API has resolution of 1 ms, and AFAIK in reality it is even less precise. Mutlimedia applications use so called multimedia timer, so if you have a look at DirectX SDK (sorry, I'm not an expert in it), you will find more.

Tomasz Sowinski Re: Waiting for Microseconds Gary R. Wheeler25-Dec-02 4:48 Gary R. Wheeler 25-Dec-02 4:48  You can measure short intervals using QueryPerformanceCounter and QueryPerformanceFrequency. I doubt that there is anything you can do in application code to delay an exact 20 microsecond interval. What do you need this for? Software Zen: delete this; Re: Waiting for Microseconds Mike Nordell26-Dec-02 7:29 Mike Nordell 26-Dec-02 7:29  Spinlock. You are writing a kernel mode device driver? If not, and you really need to do this in user-land, you should probably have a look at one of the many available realtime OS'es. Please note, you'll get no friends from using spinlocks - tying up CPU resources for no other purpose than waiting is more like the MS-DOS era, where resources were not shared and the only (available) machines that had multitasking was the Amiga and Unices.

Dialog is having CDateTimeCtrl as well as some other controls. I put the tab order for all controls so as to navigate through keyboard tab. When I clicked on CDateTimeCtrl drop down arrow it shows me Month calendar, when I do selection of other date or cancels on calendar control, focus gets disappear (OnSetFocus() function gets called but the selection gets disappears that makes feel like the focus is not on the control) . Now if I press tab the focus goes to next subsequent control and when come back to the same CDateTimeCtrl control through tab, it doesn't get selected. (Here also the OnSetFocus() function gets called but the control doesn’t get highlighted it appears like deselected ) Can anybody of you tell me, how can I select the Date inside the CDateTimeCtrl? I tried to handle CDateTimeCtrl's OnKillFocus() OnCloseup(), OnSetfocus() etc. but the highlighting of date is not possible. Is there any function available by which date (day/month/year) can be highlight?
