That would definately not be a problem (knock on wood). If it is I could always implement a double buffer with mutexes.
I still havnt really gotten an answer about the shared memory. Since I'm new to threads my guess would be that each thread would have a pointer to the same piece of memory. Is that correct?

Yes, that would work. Each thread shares the same address space, so any thread can access any memory that the application owns.

I have one more question (I think)
http://flounder.com/detach.htm#Sockets shows me how to detach the socket and assign it to a thread.
How do I use the Message Pump within the thread to catch the onReceive()/onSend() Messages

Sorry, can't help you there. I've never used MFC sockets - I always use the raw Win32 versions.

The help files recommend that user messages be defined in the range WM_USER to 0x7fff, but opening the Resource Symbols dialog to create a new ID and letting it choose the value seems to work fine. Does anyone know if there is anything wrong with this?
Best Regards

It should be WM_APP.

Depends on the usage. If you are defining a message that will only be used within the application, then use WM_APP. If the message is for a control that could be used in other apps the use WM_USER. If it is a message that is used to communicate between different modules then use ::RegisterWindowMessage().

WM_USER should not be used at it can conflict with messages that Microsoft uses. RegisterWindowMessage() is the safest/preferred method in any case.

Thanks guys.
I can see that there is a problem if messages conflict, but what's puzzling me is why does it matter what the value is so long as it is unique - and if I use the Resource Symbols dialog to create it, doesn't that guarantee uniqueness?
Is it a matter of standardisation and ease of maintenance perhaps?

Thanks Michael, that answers my question perfectly.

I've created a handler for a user defined message with the following declaration:
afx_msg LRESULT OnIdleScan(WPARAM wPar, LPARAM lPar);
It works, but what value (of type LRESULT) should the function return, and what does the system do with this? I assume it is not passed back via PostMessage, because it doesn't wait for the handler to execute. I'm arbitrarily returning 0 at present.
Best Regards

The result is not used for PostMessage()'s, but it is when using SendMessage(). The return value is completely up to you. I usually just return 0, if its not important.
I have come across a few messages that are used in this way to indicate success or failure.

Thanks for your reply. It makes perfect sense now.

I have read several sources on when to use the extern keyword and when not to, but I still have some confusion.
Could someone explain the proper use of extern when it comes to variables and function:
extern void MyFunction(void);<br />
extern int MyVariable;
Thanks.

In both cases, it specifies external linkage (i.e., is visible from files other than the one in which it's defined).

you use extern when you want to tell the compiler the type of a variable or function which is defined in another file.
if you have a variable called blah, of type int, at global scope (not static, or local to a function) in foo.c and you want to use it in bar.c, you would put "extern int blah;" somewhere in bar.c, or in a file that bar.c includes. that way, when the compiler is working on bar.c, it knows the type of the variable 'blah'.
the linker will come around later and make sure all references to 'blah' are looking at the same thing.

Hello. I'm getting some linker errors involving jpeg/png/tiff libraries after converting my project from VS6 to 2005.

By not linking with the CRT DLL perhaps. 
Do you have the latest SDK installed correctly?

I do have the latest sdk installed.
I am, however, using the same dll's that I was using under VS6. So maybe I will try recompiling those under 2005 and see how that goes.
Might be back with more questions if that doesn't go well

Hi All,
As you might know, there are tons of articles accross CodeGuru, CodeProjects, and many other programming info sites about owner-draw components. Some of them describes how to do owner-draw in detail. Many of them provides a re-usable class so that people can download and use.
I like to publish a book that describes how people can do the owner-draw components themselves, explain the solution to the general owner-draw operations.
My questions are:
1. Is there any book with related subjects that has already been published?
2. If there is no such book, is it too late to write such a book that uses Win32 API, MFC, WTL? Or are Win32 API, MFC, WTL considered out of date technologies that there is no market for books that describe the use of these technology any more?
I appreciate if any one can give me some good answers on above questions.
Thanks

WMI settings for remote access on XP
From: Jerry Bryant [MS] - view profile
Date: Fri, Jan 25 2002 4:09 pm
1. the user needs to either be an admin on the XP machine or have remote
enabled privilege set on the XP machine
2. Win2k needs the SP because XP requires at least Packetlevel
authentication and the SP fixes a bug in Win2k to correctly allow
Packetlevel connections
3. if the XP machine is in a workgroup, you won't be able to remote in
anyways as all incoming connections to the XP machine will be reduced to the
guest account (this is by-design of the OS), if in a domain, it should work
given the previous 2 statements are fulfilled.
How to enable remote privileges on the XP machine:
1. Right Click "My Computer", choose "Manage"
2. Open "Services And Applications", right click over "WMI Control" and
choose "properties"
3. Click on the "Security" Tab, highlight the namespace you want to give
security to (most likely root\cimv2) and click the Security button
4. add the user, and check "Remote Enable"
also check out this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q282949/
if you are using XP home in Step #3 behavior cannot be
changed. If you are using XP Pro in a workgroup you can change the behavior
via the local group policy:
Computer\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Polices\Security Options:
Network Access: Sharing and security model for local accounts:
In unjoined WinXP Pro the ForceGuest behavior is on by default. This
will cause all inbound connections to be anonymous (null)
connections. Try disabling the ForceGuest behavior by setting the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\ForceGuest
value to 0 and reboot.
The "firewall" option on the LAN connection must be disabled.
