where can I get this PrimaryThreadID? is PrimaryThread ur talking to is my class who calls the secondary worker thread?
what is the possible MyThreadMessage? will it be "NULL"
-thanx

Yes, the primary thread ID is the main thread of your application.
You can call GetCurrentThreadID from the main application thread to determine its identifier.
I usually use RegisterWindowMessage() to get a unique message identifier to share between threads, unless I need a know one ast compile time to use in a switch statement.

You can call GetExitCodeThread on the thread's handle. If it returns STILL_ACTIVE as the code then the thread is still running.
You can also use WaitForSingleObject on the thread's handle to wait until the thread is finished.

is it like this?
CWinThread *myThread = AfxBeginThread....
while(GetExitCodeThread(myThread) == STILL_ACTIVE)
{
....
}

No. First off you are using GetExitCodeThread wrong, look it up in MSDN. Second, as David said above, constantly polling the thread is not a good thing to do.
Stops the caller thread until the new thread finishes:
CWinThread *myThread = AfxBeginThread(...
WaitForSingleObject(myThread->m_hThread, INFINITE);

Hi,
i want to reduce the size of the CFileDialog(or any Common Dialog) i mean i need to compress(Shrink it ) it so it looks small.

MoveWindow() for example ....

MoveWindow may not work ,if you are using DoModal ()directly on a object of CFileDialog
Inherit a class from CFileDialog and over -ride the OnInitdialog .Now include the MoveWindow()
Cause is my effort;
Effect is God's effort

If you didn't want to inherit the class and override OnInitDialog, you could probably just declare the dialog, say CFileDialog myDialog and then call myDialog.CalcWindowRect() and pass the resulting RECT or CRect structure into myDialog.Create(). This is how the framework already sets up the window size prior to creation, but if you do some of it yourself, you can change the RECT or CRect structure in between to whatever size you wish.
I've never actually tried this myself in practice, but reading through the documentation, it should work. Check out MSDN.

I guess this method won't work as the HWND of the CFileDialogis not yet created !
(Worst case - try with Hooks ) .
Install a hook before Do Modal ()
Handle the Hook for it and delete the hook after that .

The method I noted in my post only handles a CRect or RECT structure, so you don't need the window to be created yet, but yes, your method, Raaja, would require the window to be created already.

CFileDialog myDialog
myDialog.CalcWindowRect()
myDIalog.create ....
If this is what you have suggested ,then CalcWindowRect () call is going to fail as the window is not yet created !
Check for the Assert statement in CWnd ::GetExStyle() which is accessed in CalcWindowRect()
Cause is my effort;
Effect is God's effort

Ah, I see that MFC guru. Since you know MFC so well, explain this explanation of CalcWindowRect,
"Call this member function to compute the required size of the window rectangle based on the desired client-rectangle size. The resulting window rectangle (contained in lpClientRect) can then be passed to the Create member function to create a window whose client area is the desired size.
Called by the framework to size windows prior to creation.
A client rectangle is the smallest rectangle that completely encloses a client area. A window rectangle is the smallest rectangle that completely encloses the window."
I noted in there some phrases like, this is "called by the framework to size windows prior to creation" and how this function is called "to compute the required size of the window" and then you can pass the rectangle "to the Create Member function to create a window".
Do you have some constructive critism, like how he might be able to make this work?

hi
can i overide my GetWindowRect.
|
|

Not sure, but I would guess, no.

DOn't take this personally danny !!!Iam no expert ,iam just sharing what i have tried in Visual Studio ..thats it .
I just refrred to the example in MSDN
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_mfc_cwnd.3a3a.calcwindowrect.asp
If thee link is not working ,refer to Cwnd ::calWindowRect in MSDN and refer to the example given at the end .
calcWindowRect will calculate the window Rectangle ,given the client reactangle size (required size).
In this case ,ur call to calcWindowrect will return the same client rectangle size as m_hWnd of that window is NULL .CHeck CWnd::GetStyle() and CWnd ::calWindowrect() .
In this case CalcWindowRect won't be useful at all .U can directly use Create with required window size .
Cause is my effort;

I'm trying to write a new class that is a derivative of CObject. The code all looks fine to me, but when I try to compile I get an error saying "constructor not allowed a return type", but I'm not trying to put a return type, or a return statement. Here's the code.
In ClassNameOb.cpp:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "ClassNameOb.h"
ClassName::ClassName()
{
m_var->VarOne = m_var->VarTwo = m_var->VarThree = m_var->VarFour = m_var->VarFive = -1;
m_otherVar = -1;
}
ClassName::~ClassName(){}
In ClassNameOb.h:
class ClassName : public CObject
{
protected:
struct structType
{
int VarOne;
int VarTwo;
int VarThree;
int VarFour;
int VarFive;
}*m_var;
int m_otherVar;
public:
ClassName();
~ClassName();
}
And then I get an error pointing to the line with the first { bracket of the constructor saying, "constructors not allowed a return type".
Why am I getting this error when I'm not even trying to return anything?

You need:
class ClassName : public CObject
{
...
};

Aaaahhh!!! How annoying! I wish it couldn've told me it was a stupid syntax error!

The OP missed the semicolon at the end of the class declaration?

OP? I assume you mean the compiler? In that case, yes, it missed it. How annoying!

Oh, thanks. Yes, and I feel dumb for having missed it.
