both are same.

Well, Why do you choose unicode or Ansi version by yourself? just use SHFILEOPSTRUCT + SHFileOperation() and enclose strings in _T() macro. So that the unicode or ansi version will be selected automatically. For instance,

SHFILEOPSTRUCT sh;

sh.hwnd = GetSafeHwnd();
sh.wFunc = FO_DELETE;
sh.pFrom = _T( "C:\\Documents and Settings\\ICS400758\\Local Settings\\Temp\\Tester");
sh.pTo = NULL;
sh.fFlags = FOF_NOCONFIRMATION | FOF_SILENT;
sh.hNameMappings = 0;
sh.lpszProgressTitle = NULL;

SHFileOperation (&sh);

Regards,
Jijo.

I think I may have found your issue...

MSDN wrote:
pFrom
Address of a buffer to specify one or more source file names. These names must be fully qualified paths. Standard DOS wild cards, such as "*", are permitted in the file-name position. Although this member is declared as a null-terminated string, it is used as a buffer to hold multiple file names. Each file name must be terminated by a single NULL character. An additional NULL character must be appended to the end of the final name to indicate the end of pFrom.

You don't give an additional NULL, so the shell operation carries on looking for the next string... which will be gobbledegook at best. I think the compiler is adding padding, which is why the next character stands a better chance of being NULL in the ansi version then the unicode version. This theory is very handwavy and untested, but you are not following the manual either way.

So, try:

sh.pFrom = T("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Myid\\Local Settings\\Temp\\Tester\0"); // Give it an extra NULL.

Less importantly, I'd write

sh.hNameMappings = NULL;

MSDN wrote:
...Treat hNameMappings as a pointer to a structure...

It's the same thing really, but it will help you in a years time and you come back to read the code...

Hope that helped,

Erm...

If I'm not mistaken, didn't *you* write the code that you're now asking me about?

Shouldn't you be telling *me* what it means?

It's all well and good cutting and pasting code from other places, but you need to read the documentation first. I can forgive missing the extra NULL at the end of the string - it's a bit subtle, but I can't forgive not bothering to read the manual for a function you're having trouble using.

If you don't have MSDN installed on your PC... follow this link:
http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=msdn+SHFILEOPSTRUCT[^]
and then read the hwnd part.

Good luck,

Iain.

No you don't create something known as multithreading or neither call it. It's a concept where you instantiate multiple threads, allow them to run, synchronize them and blah blah....
You will find some excellent articles on multithreading on Code Project. Just use the search window
If you are calling the same function on the same thread than it is not multi threading.
You can use a while loop inside the thread function and call the required function as many times as you need.

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

Well, if it's so urgent, I won't type any code for you, I'd be too slow...

Instead, I'll point you at the http://www.codeproject.com/KB/tree/[^] section here on codeproject.

Do a search for drag, and this was the fourth entry (first was an advert!)

Build Errors Using CString not CStringT

Hi,

I am C++ newbie so.... I was trying to derive an Object from CString

Since Derived Classes can access protected members I tried to access

m_pchData

When I got an errors message that m_pchData was undefined I tried to

qualify it by using CString :: m_pchData

When I got the following error message

I dont get I am using CString in afx.H not CStringT in afxstr.h

Error 1 error C2039: 'm_pchData' : is not a member of 'ATL::CStringT<basetype,stringtraits>'

m_pchData doesn't exist in MFC for VS 2005 or 2008. In these, m_pszData is private, but you have helper functions to access it.

CString is simply a typedef of CStringT. CStringT is derived from CSimpleString. This combination allows various encoding methods to be used with the same code. Thus you have CStringA (using char) and CStringW (using wchar_t) as basic types. In theory you could create even more types by using the templates and adding you own helper classes.

So ....CStringT is for regular excuse the term string char
as opposed to Unicode

The members of CString are really in AFX.H were Cstring is defined

Re: Build Errors Using CString not CStringT

Joe Woodbury22-Mar-09 15:25

No, CStringT is a template class that allows you to instantiate a string class that uses ANSI, UNICODE or whatever encoding scheme you want to try.

CString is a typedef of CStringT. The typedef for CString is NOT defined in afx.h. As far as I can tell, you are confusing VC++ 6.0 and VS 2005/2008.

Do NOT use any MFC from a platform SDK. You shouldn't even be referencing such an outdated SDK in VS 2005/2008 since it will cause other frustrations. (I rarely use the Platform SDK and when I do, I always install it in a Virtual PC, clean out the dross and then copy the directories out and then only use it by specific reference in the a project file.)
