In my MFC app, I needed to sleep (delay the thread) for 3 seconds. But when I added sleep in BtnClick afx function, it just didn't work. I did a work around be using 3 seconds Timmer. But How to avoid such situations in future???
Thanks for reply in advance

How did you conclude that the sleep function does not work?
Did you see any frozen UI for 3 seconds?

I am creating a Custom Media Player using Windows Media Player COM objects. When I play the mp3, it takes near about 3 sec to load the files(and necessary dlls). Before that, the duration of the mp3 is not reflected in the properties. Yes there was a frozen UI. But rest of the thread continued and I was unable to record the duration.
Thanks for replying

Are you using another thread to read/load the necessary files or the dll's or you are doing it in the main thread?

I am loading it in the main thread itself...

Then obviously your code for loading the dll's etc will not run during the freeze/sleep as the main thread is sleeping. You should load all dll's in a separate thread and once you are sure that they are loaded, notify the main thread to resume. May be you could have a better idea as well.

great feedback for OP

UI frozen=Sleep worked... like it was suggested, create a loading thread and have that thread message back to the original thread when he's done. Using Sleep() in this manner is not acceptable, you're freezing the user interface on purpose, many do it on accident, but on purpose!?

So does that means using Sleep() (in main thread) in mfc in condemned??? I never realized that. I think a lighter way was what I did (activated a timer and went to sleep there). Thread is also a good option. Thanks for the reply.

It's condemned to use Sleep()(for this length of time) in UI thread(its common for people to separate the UI from the rest of the code).

How do i find last created file in a specified directory?
|
|
|
|

Enumerate the files using FindFirstFile & FindNextFile. Using WIN32_FIND_DATA compare the properties and time stamps or whatever is required. You will need to compare the file creation times using an algorithm
FILETIME ftCreationTime; will be of interest in your case.

You should check the results of
GetLastError() after each API call to try and determine why your code is failing.
The best things in life are not things.

Hi all,
I have made a CString variable in that variable i have a single character value like A,B,C.....
I want to put this value in simple char variable(not into char* or char[]).
How can i do so????
thanks in advance

CString can be compiled in UNICODE or NON-UNICODE mode.
In NON-UNICODE mode, the underlying data type is a char.
But in UNICODE mode, the underlying data type is a wchar_t.
So in UNICODE mode, you may not be able to directly assign a single character to a char variable using the GetAt function or []operator.
Here is something you can do so that it works in both UNICODE and NON-UNICODE builds -
CString str("Hello World");
CStringA stra(str);
char C = stra[6];

Use CString::GetAt() and pass it ti WCHAR or TCHAR - whar ever you are comfertable with...

You can use cygwin ( http://www.cygwin.com/ ) on windows. While installing the cygwin you need to select the packages you want to install in cygwin some of the packages are gcc, vim editor, some library.

Is it an uncompiled cpp file, or an executable created using c++? You cannot execute a cpp file.
