You can end it with clicking outside the edit on a treeview-item (done by the treeview-control). it's a normal editbox and therefore i should be able to change the style BEFORE it receives the first message (WM_CREATE). and i don't want your solution with the dialog, i don't think that's nice :/

Difference between thread and fiber on windows

Hello all

Can any one please explain me the difference between thread and a fiber? In what circumstances we should go for a fiber? Please give me some sample code or point to URL where I can get the same.

Thanks for your help.
Hari.

From MSDN:

A fiber is a unit of execution that must be manually scheduled by the application. Fibers run in the context of the threads that schedule them. Each thread can schedule multiple fibers. In general, fibers do not provide advantages over a well-designed multithreaded application. Fibers are not preemptively scheduled.

How to Detect Invalid Filenames

Is there an API available to check if a filename is valid. At the moment the only information I can find is in the help for CreateFile() where it gives a list of invalid characters and filenames such as ./?\* or com1,con,lpt.

Hello!
if you only check the string of the filename,you can check if the string have the list of "./?;'".

if you check whether the file is existent, you can use code as follow in VC6.0 :

BOOL CheckIfFileExists (LPCTSTR szFileName)
{
ASSERT( szFileName != NULL );

if( _tcslen(szFileName) == 0 ) return FALSE;

DWORD dwAttr = GetFileAttributes(szFileName);
if( dwAttr == 0xFFFFFFFF ) return FALSE;
return (dwAttr & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY) == 0;
}

Here is some explaination from one of expert:

The RegisterWindowMessage function defines a new window message
that is guaranteed to be unique throughout the system.

So with that in minde this is one example of how to use this
special message.

If I have this code in one of my applications:

<br />
LRESULT CALLBACK MyWindowProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wp, LPARAM lp)<br />
{<br />
  LRESULT Result;<br />
<br />
  static UINT my_message = RegisterWindowMessage("my_message");<br />
<br />
  if (msg == my_message)<br />
  {<br />
    MessageBox(hwnd, "Someone sent me my_message", "Message", MB_OK);<br />
    return 0;<br />
  }<br />
<br />
  ....<br />
<br />
  return Result;<br />
}<br />

I could talk to that application from my second application
using the following code:

// Use FindWindow, EnumWindows and EnumChildWindows to get
// the hwnd of the other application
hwnd = getting_other_hwnd_left_as_excersise_function();

UINT my_message = RegisterWindowMessage("my_message");

//-- post the hwnd the special message
::PostMessage(hwnd, my_message, 0, 0);

You could also do this:

//-- broad cast a special message
::PostMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, my_message, 0, 0);

but in this case you would need to trap the message in the
second application using the following code instead:

  <br />
while (GetMessage(&msg, (HWND) NULL, 0, 0)) <br />
{<br />
  if (msg == my_message)<br />
  {<br />
    MessageBox(hwnd, "Someone sent me my_message", "Message", MB_OK);<br />
  }<br />
  else<br />
  {<br />
    TranslateMessage(&msg);<br />
    DispatchMessage(&msg);<br />
  }<br />
}<br />

When using SendMessage() and PostMessage(), the ID of the message has historically been based on WM_USER, with newer applications starting to use WM_APP. While this certainly works, the possibnility exists for two applications (DLLs, actually) to send the same message, resulting in undesired behavior. Using WM_USER or WM_APP with SendMessageToDescendents() is also asking for trouble. The solution, therefore, is to use a registered message. It is guaranteed to be unique. The message only means something to the window that created it and the target window.

ShowWindow(SW_MINIMIZE);

more values:
SW_FORCEMINIMIZE
Windows 2000/XP: Minimizes a window, even if the thread that owns the window is hung. This flag should only be used when minimizing windows from a different thread.
SW_HIDE
Hides the window and activates another window.
SW_MAXIMIZE
Maximizes the specified window.
SW_MINIMIZE
Minimizes the specified window and activates the next top-level window in the Z order.
SW_RESTORE
Activates and displays the window. If the window is minimized or maximized, the system restores it to its original size and position. An application should specify this flag when restoring a minimized window.
SW_SHOW
Activates the window and displays it in its current size and position.
SW_SHOWDEFAULT
Sets the show state based on the SW_ value specified in the STARTUPINFO structure passed to the CreateProcess function by the program that started the application.
SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED
Activates the window and displays it as a maximized window.
SW_SHOWMINIMIZED
Activates the window and displays it as a minimized window.
SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE
Displays the window as a minimized window. This value is similar to SW_SHOWMINIMIZED, except the window is not activated.
SW_SHOWNA
Displays the window in its current size and position. This value is similar to SW_SHOW, except the window is not activated.
SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE
Displays a window in its most recent size and position. This value is similar to SW_SHOWNORMAL, except the window is not actived.
SW_SHOWNORMAL
Activates and displays a window. If the window is minimized or maximized, the system restores it to its original size and position. An application should specify this flag when displaying the window for the first time.

hope this helps Smile | :)

AfxMessageBox - a global function.
MessageBox - a method available within a CWnd derived class

You cannot call MessageBox within a non CWnd derived class.
Ex:

class A
{
public:
void Display()
{
// error
MessageBox(...);
// should be
AfxMessageBox(...)
}
};

But in this example

class A
{
public:
void Display()
{
MessageBox(...); // OK, juts like calling this->MessageBox(..)
AfxMessageBox(...) // ok
}
};

Sorry for that this should be:

class B:public CDialog
{
public:
void Display()
{
MessageBox(...); // OK, just like calling this->MessageBox(..)
AfxMessageBox(...) // ok
}
