The returned name's module is the one of the *.EXE which loaded the DLL, but not the DLL's name itlsef(DLL which makes calls).

Call GetModuleFileName() with the HINSTANCE that was passed to your DllMain() function. That said, I do not believe GetModuleFileName() is what you are after.

Hello
Question : Differentiate static and extern ? If the data is static, how can you access that data in another file ?
My answer is :
The static keyword allows a variable to maintain its value among different function calls. Extern says the variable, or function, is defined outside this source file.
main.h
--------
#include <>
static int x;
main.c
--------
#include "main.h"
int main(void) {
printf("\n x is %d", x);
return 0;
}
My answer is sufficient or partially or wrong ...? Give me an advise ?
Thanking you.

its partially correct.
'static' has multiple meanings. you've mentioned one, but there is another meaning that is more closely related to 'extern'.

Could you elaborate it , please?

Hi Created a CRectTracker for a button,it is resizable. i dont want to Resize option but i want click and move the button within the dialog.
CRectTracker(rect,CRectTracker::dottedLine | CRectTracker::hatchedBorder );
CRectTracker::resizeOutside like is there NoResize option
|
|

It would not be resizable,
when you will call its CRectTrcker::Draw(..) only 
Just modify CYourDialog::OnPaint() function
virtual void BeHappy() = 0;

My application has several MFC threads running concurrently; these threads process their messages by using Peek Message.
I want to know queue size in each thread (i.e. pending messages in thread queue).Is there any API that can tell me the message count or pending message count for each thread.?
If there is no such an API, Is there any method to get message count at process level.?

Would GetQueueStatus() help?

Thanks for the response , but i think this would not because this function returns the type of messages in the queue, not message count or queue length.
I wan to get number of messages in queue or number of pending messages in queue.

It returns the number of the type you request.

As far as I know you shouldn't run into any problems because the queue is too small. It's one of those questions that the very fact it's asked makes me wonder if your design is "correct". Can I ask why you need to know?

Thanks, I am little bit cofused by your reply and unable to understand.There is no issue I just want to add some functionality in my application threads, I just want to check queue length,In my application there are 15 threads one of them is main thread(Controller Thread).All threads are posting theire different customized message and some data in WPARAM/LPARAM using using PostThreadMessage function.
Now the controller thread receive all these messages using PeekMessage(pmsg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_NOREMOVE)from thread mesage queue in its Run method.
// code snap shot
Controller::Run()
{
While(1)
{
while(PeekMessage(pmsg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_NOREMOVE))
{
switch(pmsg ->message)
{
case MSG_RE_START:
// log here pending messages in queue
//do some functionality
case MSG_RE_StOP:
// log here pending messages in queue
//do some functionality
}
PeekMessage(pmsg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE);
}
}
}
So when I receive one message I wan to log the pending messages which are still in queue and will be processed in next iteration means in call of PeekMessage.
After Processing one Message I remove it from Thread queue using PeekMessage(pmsg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE)
So can I get the queue status , how many number of messages are in thread queue or queue length.?

There are a number of issues here.
The first problem you may encounter is related to the posting of thread messages. Does the main thread have any UI? Messages boxes, dialogs, anything like that? If so you may encounter the problem described here[^]. The solution (posting the messages to a hidden window instead) is also described.
The next problem is that the main thread will sometimes throw away messages:
Controller::Run()
{
While(1)
{
while(PeekMessage(pmsg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_NOREMOVE))
{
switch(pmsg ->message)
{
case MSG_RE_START:
case MSG_RE_StOP:
}
}
PeekMessage(pmsg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE);
}
}
If there are no messages in the queue at point (1) but there is at point (2) the message is simply discarded.
Another issue is that the main thread is constantly spinning in a busy loop doing nothing, degrading system performance.
Also you simply discard all messages, even ones that don't belong to you. You should dispatch them.
Also, even if your code was even close to working (which it's not) how do you know all the messages in the queue are yours?

There is no UI thread all are worker threads.This was not the exact code , the exact code is running well there is no issue in the application.I just write the scenrio of my requirment.
1.If there is message in the queue it will be processed and then will be removed.So there is need little correction is code:
PeekMessage(pmsg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE); // -(2) is inside the switch, not out of the inner while loop.
while(PeekMessage(pmsg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_NOREMOVE))
{
switch(pmsg ->message)
{
case MSG_RE_START:
break;
case MSG_RE_STOP:
break;
case MSG_RE_DATA:
break;
}
PeekMessage(pmsg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE);
}
2.The main thread is not constantly spinning in a busy loop, becasue it waits on some events when exits from the inner loop.I did not mention, So leave it
3. Leave this, assume that the application is running not closing.
I just want to know that How can i get the pending number of messages in queue , for example when i receive MSG_RE_DATA message,How many number of messages MSG_RE_DATA are pending.

In this code the PeekMessage is not "inside the switch", it's in the while. Match up the brackets in the code you posted.

it must be inside the inner loop and out of the switch.

I'd like to create a class derived from CComboBox which replaces the normal dropdown with a window containing a calendar control plus a few clickable areas. My first instinct is to create a very basic window which has the calendar as a child window and paints these clickable areas itself. When the dropdown arrow is clicked we create and show this window and somehow suppress the normal dropdown.
Is this the 'correct' way to tackle this? After trying it out I'm having a number of problems  The most glaring is that when the dropdown window is displayed the frame of the hosting dialog changes, ruining the illusion that the dropdown is part of the combobox. I think this may be because the dropdown window is a WS_POPUP (to avoid being restricted to the CCombobox client area). When the dropdown is active, the dialog isn't, causing the frame to be redrawn. That's my guess anyway.
There are numerous other problems which need to be tackled: how to handle focus, mouse capture etc; how to suppress the normal dropdown list; how to handle events such as the Windows button being pressed (i.e. how to automatically cancel the dropdown). These can probably wait for now though 
Anyone have any solid suggestions about how to create this custom dropdown? Any good links, blogs, books, or articles?

You might want to look at my article: Generic Picker Dropdown Control[^] or the article that I drew inspiration from: Office 97 style Colour Picker control[^]
Both of these will let you have a combo-box-like control, which then pops up another control You should be able to adapt them to show a calendar control instead.
I hope that helps,
Iain.

Nice article, but it doesn't address the specific problem I described. I ran your demo app and sure enough the frame of the dialog changes to reflect that it is no longer active or has focus, or whatever the change of frame painting means  . Compare this to the Date Time Picker control (which is loosely what I'm trying to mimic): when its dropdown window is shown it doesn't cause any change to the dialog, and feels integrated with the rest of the control. It's a minor detail, but it's one which makes me think my basic approach is wrong somehow.

Thanks - you may have a point about my control! Nice catch.
Sorry it didn't help you however.

Try creating your "dropdown" invisible and then show it with ShowWindow(SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE)[^], maybe that will help.

No dice.
After some playing around it seems as though setting the focus is what triggers the repainting of the dialog's frame. If the dropdown is created as a child (of the combobox), it doesn't redraw to show loss of focus. But the dropdown can't be a child due to clipping. If it's a popup then it causes the frame to be painted differently when the focus switches, which is what I was hoping to avoid.
Catch 22 for the time being. But this must be a very solveable problem...

Where does the focus go then? I guess you are not moving the focus to your popup ...umm... "explicitly". Maybe try removing the WS_TABSTOP style from controls on the popped-up window or somesuch... is your popup maybe a dialog? If yes then it probably places the focus onto whatever comes first on it that can receive the focus automatically, you can avoid that by returning FALSE from OnInitDialog[^].
