I don't believe a window can survive it's parent process. If that is true then you need the "special window" to be a separate process. Then i believe you can just make the special process a "single instance" process by using a mutex.

If I did that, would the new process be visible to the user (listed in Task Manager)?

Yes
Why dont you simply *hide* P1 as if it was closed?
Another option is to inject the window into explorer.exe this way it wont die with P1.

Well, P1 will be taking up at least 40mb, so that's not an option 
Thanks, I'll check out that function.

We're trying to avoid that, making it as clean as possible. But, if there's no decent way around it, then we might end up doing that after all.

Sorry that Anonymous post was me... i timed out, had to actually do some work 
"Clean" is in the eye of the beholder. My first thought is that a Single Instance process for the special window would produce the "Simplest" solution. I always like simple. Of course I don't have the complete context of your problem so...

Well, basically I'm trying to force two different programs to appear as one program on the taskbar, but two separate programs in the alt-tab window. I'm currently doing it by making the two programs not show up on the taskbar, and using a special window and the ITaskbarList interface to make an entry on the taskbar that doesn't show up in the alt-tab window.

Probably a stupid question, but... Why not just One process that looks like One process because it is One process?

Both apps are way too big to combine them both, that's why
|
|
|
|
|
Is that "Too big" as in the projects are too big, or in the process memory is too big?
If it's the later, then I wouldn't consider that an issue as both programs will have to be in memory regardless. In fact, it may be slightly less memory as there is no overhead for the second process (not mention code being used for communication).
If it's the former, then you may want to break up the application into dlls that are more easily managed.

I mean the former; it would be a complete nightmare to combine them, and definitely not worth it.

Dear Friends,
I have a source code in which there are 2 socket classes i.e. CSocket & CAsyncSocket for both server and client.
Codes on the both classes are almost same i.e. having same message handlers of having same code.
I would like to know
1. if server or client program can be written by only one class then what is the use of CAsyncSocket together with CSocket?
2. Although CSocket is derived by CAsyncSocket, but if possible please let me know the benifits and uses of AsyncSocket over CSocket.......
Thanking you in advance.......

Check here[^]
Basically CAsyncSocket is the base class of CSocket.
A CSocket object represents a higher level of abstraction of the Windows Sockets API than that of a CAsyncSocket object.
CSocket works with classes CSocketFile and CArchive to manage the sending and receiving of data.

But what Billar mean is that there is CAsyncSocket while there is already CSocket-class. So he wants to know why CAsyncSocket is also included?
And actualy I want it to know too.
By the way, if you want to use CSocketFile and CArchive, do you have to declare them too on a certain way, for using pointers to those type of class? Or isn't that necessary and just typ: CScoketFile *p_mSockFile //for example
Thanx!!

The CSocket is a higher level class than the CAsyncSocket.
It is easier to manipulate to serialize the data over the network. You dont have to care much about socket notifications, it does all the work for you.
But you also lose some flexibility.
You can use whatever you need for your application.
In order to use CArchive and CSocketFile with an CSocket you just need to create a CSocketFile object (on the heap or on the stack, as you wish)and give it a pointer to your CSocket object.
Then when needed you create a CArchive and you map it to a CSocketFile via its constructor and now you are ready to serialize your data on the network by just passing the archive to your serialize function.

A CSocket object is harder to shut down than a CAsyncSocket object. It is harder to send and receive data, because the thread which is doing the work is tied up. Also a CAsyncSocket object does not require a separate thread.
Search the microsoft.public.vc.mfc newsgroup for the pros and cons of both.

Why are you implementing the client and server using two winsock wrapper classes?
Kuphryn

Both of them were written to encapsulate the old 16bit WinSock API. The API was primarily developed to provide non-blocking windows message based mechanism for socket IO since 16 bit windows was a non-preemptive multitasking OS. CAsyncSocket encapsulates the basic API while CSocket provides a blocking version of the same.
Today probably the only benefit in using them is to communicate across two MFC applications using serialization of MFC SERIALIZABLE classes. For any other socket use models you are better of using the Winsock2 API.

Dear All
Thanks for the information....
Here, in the above mentioned code, they have used thread. In the Client Program they call a User Message in OnAcceptMessage in both classes and start a TCPIP Thread, through where it send message to Server. Then Server checks for those messages and displays messages accordingly.
Here, instead of having thread I wish to Start a Server On Click Button and want to have a Client side which send messages to Server and Server performs just something on depending upon the message contents.....
If you r any having such idea or having an example of such kind of code please refer to me. Eagerly waiting for your help..........
Thanks once again to all in advance.....

I'm using the shockwave activex in my vc++ project but when I press keys into the editbox on the flash applet it loads, they don't show up. All that happens is I get a beep from my computer. However, it is recognizing when I press the arrow keys/tab etc, just not the main a-z 0-9 keys. It's definately not the applet, that works fine when I load it in explorer or from my old vb client. Any idea's?

Can u explain this code?
Please help me

From a long ago memory, its says to me that your declaring an integer which is 5 bits in size.
So you can have 31 to -32 as a possible range of values

Is it possible to use VERSIONABLE_SCHEMA with a CObList derived class? I remember doing this long ago and now I can't remember just how I accomplished this.
right now I have
IMPLEMENT_SERIAL(CCharacter, CObList, 2 | VERSIONABLE_SCHEMA)
...
void CCharacter::Serialize(CArchive& ar)
{
CObject::Serialize(ar);
if (ar.IsStoring())
{
...
}
else
{
UINT schema = ar.GetObjectSchema()
...
}
}
The schema variable is some large number and not what I expected which is one? Should I be doing this another way or this code flawed?
Thanks!
