Hi...
I have a program to read data from serial port,and I want to repeat the program every 1 microsecond.
this is my program, but I just can repeat every 1 milisecond
void CStripDlg::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent)
{
int dcount=0;
CString data[4];
VARIANT in_dat;
{
in_dat = m_comm.GetInput();
CString strInput(in_dat.bstrVal);
m_input.Format("%s", strInput);
m_comm.SetInBufferCount(0);
}
}
UpdateData(FALSE);
CDialog::OnTimer(nIDEvent);
void CStripDlg::OnStart()
{
SetTimer(1,1,NULL);
}
}
thx

You 'millisecond' timer is already (as David already suggested) an illusion: Windows doesn't provide millisecond accuracy. In any case you shouldn't need microsecond time-scale for dealing with serial port communications.
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

Clock granularity on Windows is about 9 milliseconds. And thats if you are lucky. It is not a real time OS, so even that is not guaranteed. Especially form user mode. If you have any kind of hardware activity your user mode thread is going to get slung off the CPU.
Even in the kernel you cant get this kind of timing, the granularity is the same, and although their threads have higher priority than user mode, any kind of interrupt or dispatch level activity is also gong to suspend your thread.
It is quesitonable whether you want 1 microsoecond timing; the clock rate of the UART is probably not that fast (thnik 115200 bps), and that's per bit. The UART is going to asemble those into bytes, dividing the speed by at least 8 (depending on start and stop bits), and pack them in a buffer (if the UART hasnt got a receive buffer its a really shonky piece of HW). FFIOs are normally 8 bytes minimum so your rate of needing to service the receive data on the UART is divided by another 8.
What is the problem you are trying to solve here? Perhaps if you told us that we can offer some advice.

microcontroller send data every 2 ms, my problem when the microcontroller gets the input, the program can not display the data directly, but must read the entire remainder of the data in the buffer.
this is setting port, and recevied data. I use Microsoft Communication Control
TRY
{
m_comm.SetCommPort(12);
m_comm.SetSettings("9600,N,8,1");
m_comm.SetInputLen(1);
m_comm.SetRTSEnable(FALSE);
m_comm.SetRThreshold(0);
m_comm.SetPortOpen(true);
UpdateData(FALSE);
MessageBox("Port opened successfully");
}
CATCH(CException, e)
{
MessageBox("Error opening port");
}
END_CATCH
so I use the clear buffer to clear the buffer. but rather the execution time becomes slow and missing data
m_comm.SetInBufferCount(0);
}
can you offer some advice?

What sort of HW is it, Who makes it? Doesnt it come with a proper driver or some other interface to the system?
I cant believe any firm can sell HW that is pumping data that quick to a com port, it just isnt going to get serviced in windows.
Is there perhaps a configuraiton to the device whereby you can increase the receive buffer or some such?
==============================
Nothing to say.

You need to do the following.
1. Determine the actual baud rate. In your other code you suggested 9600. Presumably that is correct.
2. Create a thread.
3. That thread does the following and NOTHING else.
a. Block on the serial port. (You don't use a timer but rather you wait until data is available.)
b. Read one byte
c. Add that byte to a thread safe queue.
d. Go back to a.
4. In your GUI code (or wherever) you read data from the queue and do whatever you want with it. Note that this occurs in a different thread.

You want to read the FIFO taking out as many bytes at a time as you can. It is only for special control characters that you need to read individual bytes, such as DTR RTS CTS etc etc etc and you set those in the 'wait on mask'.

Few months back I was having the same issue of Microsecond. Windows does not provide granularity of 1 microsecond. For this reason we have used Real Time OS which is an extension to Microsoft Windows . The Timer granularity is well handled by RTOS ( provides upto 1 Microsecond , which can further modified by modifying the value of 'Ticks' of clock using some API of that RTOS.

you have any articles or sample programs?and Can I ask articles or sample program?

I presume my answer wasn't clear.
If you block on a read and there is in fact data available then you do not block. So many bytes are read.
And a serial port is a single byte stream. So excluding an intermediate buffer mechanism it is only going to read one byte at a time.
But if the API supports a buffered read then using that is certainly an option.

okey, thanks
do you have sample program?

Very very few are. As stated a single byte rcv buffer UART is a very shonky piece of hardware. The stock (what is it, 82530 or some such compatible UART on most PCs) has an 8 byte RX FIFO.
Better quality UARTs on serial PCI cards will have far bigger FIFOs.

Hi,
It's been a while since I've posted in here.
A friend and I have a problem with MFC,
We're trying to get the handle of a PictureBox in MFC,
but the code we use keeps returning null.
Here is a code snippet we're using
CStatic* pCStatic = (CStatic*) GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC1);
HWND hWnd = pCStatic->m_hWnd;
We're trying to get the handle of the PictureBox so we put a DirectX into the control.
Many Thanks
Tom

Tom,
Make sure that you are calling GetDlgItem(int) from the parent window of the CStatic because the MFC wrapper auto-populates the first HWND parameter with this->m_hWnd. You could also use the global namespace function ::GetDlgItem(HWND,int) if you want to call this function from outside the window class.
I would actually recommend that you avoid using GetDlgItem and instead use a control variable. In some cases the GetDlgItem function will return a pointer to a CTempWnd object. Another reason to void GetDlgItem is because of performance reasons... GetDlgItem causes the MFC framework to iterate through an internal handle map in an attempt at finding a permanent object. In some projects this map could contain several hundred or more handles. So if an engineer is using a function such as GetDlgItem from WM_PAINT handler or perhaps WM_TIMER they could potentially be iterating needlessly through this map dozens of times per second or more.
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune

hi,everyone.
When using the Windows FileOpen dialog with multiple selection do you ever wonder how much memory you have to allocate for the buffer. Is one kilobyte going to be enough? Or should you make it ten? How about one Megabyte just to be safe?
It seems that no matter what you choose, you are either going to waste a whole bunch of memory just to be safe, or your user is going to select a bunch of files only to find their selection didn't work because your buffer was too small.
one way is Derive the CFileDialog class , the article as follow introduce it:
Multiple Selection in a File Dialog
but I have the other method: use the hook function of CFileDialog. I write some code as follow:
UINT_PTR CALLBACK MyOFNHookProc( HWND hdlg, UINT uiMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam )
{
int nResult = FALSE;
if (hdlg == NULL)
return 0;
#ifdef _DEBUG
_AFX_THREAD_STATE* pThreadState = AfxGetThreadState();
if (pThreadState->m_pAlternateWndInit != NULL)
pThreadState->m_pAlternateWndInit = NULL;
#endif
switch(uiMsg)
{
case WM_NOTIFY:
{
LPOFNOTIFY pOfn = (LPOFNOTIFY)lParam;
switch(pOfn->hdr.code)
{
case CDN_SELCHANGE:
{
TCHAR dummy_buffer;
HWND hOwner = GetParent(hdlg);
HWND hParent = GetParent(hOwner);
UINT nfiles = CommDlg_OpenSave_GetSpec(hOwner, &dummy_buffer, 1);
int cbLength = CommDlg_OpenSave_GetSpec(GetParent(hdlg), NULL, 0);
cbLength += _MAX_PATH;
if(cbLength>(pOfn->lpOFN)->nMaxFile)
{
if((pOfn->lpOFN)->lpstrFile)
HeapFree(GetProcessHeap(),
0,
(pOfn->lpOFN)->lpstrFile);
(pOfn->lpOFN)->lpstrFile = (LPTSTR) HeapAlloc(GetProcessHeap(),
HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY,
cbLength);
(pOfn->lpOFN)->nMaxFile = cbLength;
}
nResult = TRUE;
break;
}
default:
break;
}
break;
}
default:
break;
}
return nResult;
}
void CMultiSelectDlg::OnButton1()
{
#define NAMEBUF 1024
TCHAR szFilters[]= _T("MyType Files (*.doc)|*.doc||");
CFileDialog fileDlg(TRUE, _T("doc"), _T("*.doc"),
OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST | OFN_HIDEREADONLY|OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT, szFilters);
fileDlg.m_ofn.lpstrFile= (LPTSTR) HeapAlloc(GetProcessHeap(),
HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY,
NAMEBUF);
fileDlg.m_ofn.nMaxFile = NAMEBUF; fileDlg.m_ofn.lpfnHook = (LPOFNHOOKPROC)MyOFNHookProc;
INT_PTR ret = fileDlg.DoModal();
if (ret == IDOK)
{
int width = 0;
CString str;
CDC *pDC = m_listbox.GetDC();
int saved = pDC->SaveDC();
pDC->SelectObject(GetFont());
UINT count = 0;
POSITION pos = fileDlg.GetStartPosition();
while (pos)
{
str = fileDlg.GetNextPathName(pos);
m_listbox.AddString(str);
CSize size(0, 0);
size = pDC->GetTextExtent(str);
width = width > size.cx ? width : size.cx;
++count;
}
pDC->RestoreDC(saved);
ReleaseDC(pDC);
m_listbox.SetHorizontalExtent(width + 5);
str.Format(_T("%u files selected"), count);
m_static.SetWindowText(str);
}
DWORD dwCode = CommDlgExtendedError();
if (FNERR_BUFFERTOOSMALL==dwCode)
{
int i =0;
}
HeapFree(GetProcessHeap(),0,
(fileDlg.m_ofn.lpstrFile));
}
the code Reference the article as follow :
How To Handle FNERR_BUFFERTOOSMALL in Windows
but I found when the file names buffer is enough large , it run successly; but when when the file names buffer is not enough large (it means the program will enter if(cbLength>(pOfn->lpOFN)->nMaxFile) ), when after run INT_PTR ret = fileDlg.DoModal(); the value of ret is IDCANCEL. I catch the error code, it is FNERR_BUFFERTOOSMALL . In the end even I allocate a enough large memory ,the error code still is FNERR_BUFFERTOOSMALL . Why???

Well, for most application, if your buffer is something like 10 KB, then it would be a good compromise as it is not much memory on today computers and it would allows few hundreds of files to be selected with relatively long names.
In some very rare case, it might be usefull to be almost "illimited"...
