Not that I can think of right away. Couldn't you redefine the macros which uses __noop yourself? It's a dirty hack, but it should work, which is the main objective, right?

I was thinking more along the lines of rewriting the macros which make use of __noop.

Destructo rin DLL

Hello

I wrote an DLL with many Code.
My Calling Programm uses

CTCPHufKommDLLApp *m_pClient;
in the .h flie
and
this->m_pClient = new CTCPHufKommDLLApp((CWnd*) this);
in the Init Dialog of the calling Window.

this i no problem.
But in the OK Button code the line
void CHUFClientDlg::OnBnClickedOk()
{
if ( this->m_pClient != NULL )
{
delete( this->m_pClient );
this->m_pClient = NULL;
}
OnOK();
}

the delete line don't work. I never come in the destruktor. But I get an Compilerhalt at
afxtls.cpp
inline void* CThreadSlotData::GetThreadValue(int nSlot)
{
EnterCriticalSection(&m_sect);
ASSERT(nSlot != 0 && nSlot < m_nMax);
ASSERT(m_pSlotData != NULL);
ASSERT(m_pSlotData[nSlot].dwFlags & SLOT_USED);
ASSERT(m_tlsIndex != (DWORD)-1);
if( nSlot <= 0 || nSlot >= m_nMax ) // check for retail builds.
{
LeaveCriticalSection(&m_sect);
return NULL;
}

CThreadData* pData = (CThreadData*)TlsGetValue(m_tlsIndex);
if (pData == NULL || nSlot >= pData->nCount)
{
LeaveCriticalSection(&m_sect);
!!!Here it stops!!!
return NULL;
!!! HERE it stops!!!
}
void* pRetVal = pData->pData[nSlot];
LeaveCriticalSection(&m_sect);
return pRetVal;
}

I can continue without more errors, but never come into destructor.
So I get a memory leak.

Who can help me?
I'm just a beginner in DLL Programming.

Thank You for every Tip.

Greetings

Hard to help from what you've written, but what did you derive CTCPHufKommDLLApp from? Was it CWinApp? Because you may only have one instance of a CWinApp derived class in an MFC program.

Gradient Masks

I'm writing my own text ticker/scroller type thing that only needs the handle to a static control on a dialog or wherever, and the rest is completely self contained in the class, the timers dont need windows to process their events. Anyway I want to have the left and right edges of the scroller fade. So say the background was dark blue, and the text was white. The white text would fade to blue at the edges. Now from my photoshop experience, at first I thought, black-to-white gradient as a mask. But how would I accomplish that with the GDI? At first I thought alpha-blending, but I didnt see a way to use a grayscale gradient as the guide for transparency. So then I saw the MaskBlt function. So I'm thinking create a monochrome memory bitmap with gradients on either side, then use that as the mask and a color memory bitmap with the text as the source, and the destination would be the solid background color layer. Then I would BitBlt that to the static control. So my question is, would this theoretically work? Am I going in the right direction?

Change filename case

What changes do I have to make to the following code inorder to use the shell to change the case of selected file(s)???

//SHFILEOPSTRUCT shFileOp;
// initialize shell file structure
shFileOp.fFlags = FOF_ALLOWUNDO;
shFileOp.wFunc = FO_RENAME;

shFileOp.lpszProgressTitle = "Test";
shFileOp.fAnyOperationsAborted = FALSE;

shFileOp.pFrom = csFile;
shFileOp.pTo = csFile1.makeLower();

shFileOp.hwnd = NULL; // Use desktop

SHFileOperation(&shFileOp);

Would this function not be working correctly because I haven't double null terminated the pFrom and pTo???

Why wouldn't it it cause an exception I wonder??? Confused | :confused:

Anyways...there are window handles so I assign NULL...any progress dialog should now use the desktop correct???

BTW - this is in ATL, so i'm not actually using CString, but i'm considering using[^]

I don't want to use any pre-made classes either, i'd like to figure out what goign wrong and do it myself...

Thanks Smile | :)

Why not test the function first to see if it will indeed do what you require. For example:

shFileOp.pFrom = "c:\\SomeFolder\\ThisFileHasMixedCase.tXt";
shFileOp.pTo   = "c:\\SomeFolder\\thisfilehasmixedcase.txt";

Algorithm for CTime in CTimeSpan

Hi!

This is surely an easy q for you but I don't really know how to implement my function.

I'd like to have a func like:

bool IsTimeBetweenTimes( CTime currTime, CTime start, CTime end );

I'd like to know if "currTime" is between "start" and "end".
I'm going to cal this funktion a very lot of times.

Any tips how to tackle my problem is good. - Thanks

or..

bool IsTimeBetweenTimes(CTime currTime, CTime start, CTime end) {
   return start <= currTime && curTime < end;
}

:compressed-grin:

Anyway, the range endpoints is open for debate. I believe low <= x < high is the most correct one as it's directly applicable to time ranges as we use them in "real life".

ScrollView problem

Hi,

I created an SDI scrollview app, and the text displays OK initially. However when it is scrolled down and then back up the text doesn't get restored properly. Also if the app is covered up and then restored the window is blank. Most of the work is done in OnInitialUpdate and OnDraw.

void CViewDocView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)
{
UINT status;
CViewDocDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();
ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);
m_nLinesTotal = pDoc->GetDocumentLength();
if (m_nLinesTotal != 0)
{
// Initialize the position of text in the window.
UINT position = 0;
CFont* pOldFont = pDC->SelectObject (&m_fontScreen);
for (UINT i=0; i<=m_nLinesTotal; i++) {
CString string;
status = pDoc->GetLine( string );
pDC->TextOut(2, position, string);
position += m_cyScreen;
}
pDC->SelectObject (pOldFont);
}
}
void CViewDocView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
CScrollView::OnInitialUpdate();
CViewDocDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();
ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);
SetScrollSizes (MM_TEXT, CSize (0, pDoc->GetDocumentLength() * m_cyScreen),
CSize (0, m_cyScreen * 10), CSize (0, m_cyScreen));
ScrollToPosition (CPoint (0, 0));
}
The font is set up in OnCreate() and the font height from GetTextMetrics() is assigned to m_cyScreen.

Thanks in advance

hello !

I'm using a CListCtrl that I'm sorting by clicking on columns...

But also i want to cancel the sorting and to return to the original state (the one that was after I added the data to the control)

How can I do this ? Can it be done ?

Does anyone here use the VC+ Express 2005 beta?

I just installed everything according to the instructions, along with the DirectX 9 SDK. When I try to build the samples included with the SDK, I find that some include files are missing, for example "Windows.h" I checked the search paths and they are correct, but the files are not on my drive.

Do I have to purchase the full version, or am I doing something wrong?

If you're planning to use the DirectX APIs, the MSDN newsgroups are a great resource.

MSDN Newsgroups

The DirectX discussion groups at GameDev.Net are quite interesting as well, though there's more talk related to video than audio.

GameDev.Net Discussion Groups

Identify the APIs/platform/framework you're planning on using and search for related forums(fora?)
