I have an application where I want to hide the mouse pointer while the app is running and restore it when it exits. How would I do this?

Handle ( from memory ) WM_SETCURSOR, and set it to NULL.

Trying to track a linker problem, so I've created a new MFC app using the basic wizard in Visual Studio .NET to demonstrate the issue. Used all the default Wizard options. Have reduced the "InitInstance" function the the following :
BOOL CTestApp::InitInstance()
{
AFX_MODULE_THREAD_STATE temp;
return FALSE;
}
This complies and links in DEBUG configuration (obviously doesn't run, but that's not the point here).
In RELEASE configuration this compiles, but deos not link. Generates this :
Test error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall AFX_MODULE_THREAD_STATE::AFX_MODULE_THREAD_STATE(void)" (??0AFX_MODULE_THREAD_STATE@@QAE@XZ) referenced in function "public: virtual int __thiscall CTestApp::InitInstance(void)" (?InitInstance@CTestApp@@UAEHXZ)
Any help greatly appreciated - why is the linker failing to find this code in RELEASE builds only?

I am trying to create a very simple C++ POP3 client. I have the following code (minimilized for ease of reading) that will allow me to connect to a POP3 server, receive the Welcome, and send the user name. Trying to receive the response to the user name seems to "freeze" -- CPU usage stays low (<10%), but nothing seems to be happening. Any thoughts/suggestions/criticisms/praise?
<br />
CString sPOP3ServerIP = "valid.ip.address";<br />
CString m_sUsername = "ValidUser";<br />
CString m_sPassword = "ValidPassword";<br />

CSocket m_socket;<br />
m_socket.Close();<br />

if (!m_socket.Create())<br />
{<br />

return;<br />
}<br />

<br />
if (!m_socket.Connect(sPOP3ServerIP, 110))<br />

<br />
TCHAR buff[4096];<br />
memset(buff, 0, 4096);<br />
int nRead;<br />
nRead = m_socket.Receive(buff, 4096); <br />
buff[nRead] = 0;
CString sTempMessage(buff); <br />
TRACE("Connected. Message received [%s]\n", sTempMessage);<br />
<br />
CString sMessageSend = "";<br />
int iLength = 0;<br />
if ("+OK" == sTempMessage.Left(3))<br />
{<br />
sMessageSend.Format("USER %s", m_sUsername);<br />

if (SOCKET_ERROR == iLength)<br />
{<br />
TRACE("Error %i on send USER NAME\n",GetLastError());<br />
return;<br />
}<br />

<br />

iLength = m_socket.Send(&sMessageSend, sMessageSend.GetLength());<br />
if (SOCKET_ERROR == iLength)<br />
{<br />

return;<br />
}<br />
memset(buff,0,4096);<br />
nRead = m_socket.Receive(buff, 4096); <br />
buff[nRead] = 0;
CString sTempMessage1(buff); <br />
TRACE("QUIT Sent. Message received [%s]\n", sTempMessage1);<br />

Thanks for any advice.

First of all: I do not know WHY it freezes, but I give you a hint how to make it better:
Derive the CSocket class and override the OnReceice()-function, you won't then have to wait until you receive a packet but just get noticed through this function when a new packet arrives.

If memory serves correctly (sorry, it's been a while) you need to insert a line break (\r\n) at the end of each request to the server other wise the server can't detect the end command, ie:
USER guest\r\n
PASS mypassword\r\n
Hope this helps....

does someone know, how I can round a double-number on two right-of-comma positions?

Hi,
I just came across an old article where the author had a program that was essentially an endless loop that would scan a directory for files and move them from that directory to somewhere else on the machine.
Under 'possible enhancements' he mentioned that he could use multiple instances of this same process to squeeze more performance - ie, to move more files, either in the same source directory or different directories.
This seems kind of goofy to me. I say the only performance gain you'd get would be on multi-processor machines, and that otherwise you'd actually be degrading performance since you're increasing the load on the OS scheduler.
Thoughts?

It seems to me that the performance bottleneck would be the disk I/O in any case, and so extra processes/threads are unlikely to increase performance by any significant margin.

My app uses a CScrollView for one of it's document types and there can be a very large number of records to be displayed. I have now found that the TextOut() vertical position variable (an integer) is overflowing and therefore OnDraw() is redrawing the view with later data records. What is the correct method of displaying a VERY large number of records in a CScrollView window ??

Hi,
I'am creating a MDI App with a dialogbar in it. Inside of the dialogbar I have a bitmap that I have loaded with the ressource editor. I want some part of the bitmap to have the system color.
I have tried:
MainFrame::Mainframe()
{
CBitmap bitmap;
COLORMAP tabcolormap;
tabcolormap.from = RGB(255,255,255);
tabcolormap.to = COLOR_SYSTEM;
bitmap.LoadMappedBitmap(IDB_LOGO,0,&tabcolormap,1);
}
My App run well but the bitmap doesn't change.
My dialogbar is created with:
CDialogBar mydialog;
if(!mydialog.Create(this, IDD_DLGBAR, CBRS_RIGHT, IDD_DLGBAR))
{
TRACE0("Failed to create dialog bar\n");
return -1; // fail to create
}
any ideas?
thanks!!

I did not get exactly what you ment..

2 questions:
1. How do I search this message board? I had seen postings before but since I can't search for it, I can't find the answer. I thought there used to be a search link.
2. When a user selects "Display Properties" | "Settings" tab " | "Advanced" button | "Font Size" combo and selects "Large", is there a way to detect this programmatically? I need to resize my grid controls depending on whether normal or large fonts were sel'd cuz everything is not displayed or visible.
|
|
|
|

1. There's a "Search" edit control at the top. I think it will search the message board.
2. You can do it like this:
HDC a_hDC = ::GetDC( NULL );
BOOL a_bIsLargeFonts = (::GetDeviceCaps( a_hDC, LOGPIXELSX ) != 96);
::ReleaseDC( NULL, a_hDC );
Didn't compile it, but that's the basic idea.

I had tried that...but it seems to only search articles and not this message board.
Thanks, for the tip. It got me started on where to look and my final solution was only slightly different from yours, having read up on it some from MSDN, where they suggest that large font selection was not guaranteed to be 120 DPI so I changed it slightly.

Hi,
I have written a tapi application which successfully makes a call(dial). But in my application i'm not able to accept an incoming call. I got the LINECALLSTATE_OFFERING call status, and there i tried the lineAnswer() API, but it just doesn't accept the incoming call. Is it the correct way for accepting a call?
Kindly help-

I did open the line as OWNER. I got the LINECALLSTATE_OFFERING and from there i used lineAnswer(). But i'm not getting the connection. The phone still keeps ringing .. What should I do? Should i issue some wait command to wait for some time before i answer the call. Also is it required to send any notification back explicitly?
Kindly help

Cant seem to find info on this. If I dont want splitter windows but multiple views in an SDI, how do I go about it?
Also in an MDI does it make any sense to have doc1 with 2 views, doc2 with 6 views etc? Or is it one doc per view?
Thanks,
Appreciate your help,
ns

In general, one document can have multiple views. Without a splitter window, describe how you want the multiple views to look under SDI.

I guess I was thinking that V1 could occupy the frame, then fromn the menu you can switch and make view2 occupy the screen.
Appreciate your help,

I'm still learning how the Saves are handled in MFC.
I have a file which is marked Read-Only. I select 'Save', and when the 'SaveAs' dialog comes up I try to save the file under the original name. "Do you want to replace?Y/N" , I select Yes.
I have a pop-up warning that in Serialize() that says "read-only you can't save this". Click OK.
Then it looks like a copy of the file MFCxxx.tmp (I think this is a CMirrorFile object) is created in the directory, and the original file gets cleared, but not deleted.
My thought is that the MirrorFile is supposed to replace the original. And because its Read-only I can't delete the original to replace it. Is this an accurate description of whats happening here?
What is the best way/place to avoid this situation and not even try/allow to replace the read-only file?
Thanks.

Is there a "pure" C++ way to replace int main(int argc, char** argv)?
In other words, have a static member function used as main, much along the lines of C# and Java? I've been able to get such an animal to link and run, I just haven't figured out how to get the runtime initialized.
Any one figured this out?
-pete

If you _really_ wanted to do this, you could try using the /ENTRY:<function> option of the linker (this if for VC++), and set <function> to the mangled name of your static member function. I haven't tried this though, so i'm not sure if it will work.
Anyway, why not just have a one line main function that calls your static member?
