This is because your implementation of
Kiriko wrote: while(j)
{
MSG msg;
GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0);
DisplatchMessage(&msg);
}
is wrong. That means GetMessage will wait for getting message and the while loop is running for infinite time.
Btw, I feel you're trying to implement something simple as complicated.
I prefer you try for thread. And the thread function would be something like,
ThreadProc(...)
{
while( j )
{
DoJob();
Sleep( 1000 );
}
}
Usage of events will be better for stopping the thread.

I am currently cross-training to VC++ and I could do with some help if somebody has the time please.
I know this is simple but I just can't get it.
I am using vc++ in VS6. As an exercise, I am building an app with 4 forms. The main form has 3 buttons - btn1, btn2 and btn3 (labelled 'Standard Calculator', 'Math Calculator' and 'Share Calculator' respectively). When a user clicks on a button, I want to display the relevant calculator (form). When the user closes a calculator by clicking the 'Close' button, I want to re-display the main form.
I have built the app in VS6 as a Dialog-based Document but I don't know how to display the secondary forms (the calculators). Should I have used an SDI with multiple forms? I have RTFM (plenty of manuals in fact) but I just can't get it. If I had any hair, I would pull it out.
All help, direction or link will be most appreciated.

Using SDI will be a option.
Otherwise you have use more than one dialog.
When you click standard calculator, then you can show the Standard Calc Dialog and hide the normal calc dialog, similarly vice versa.

Thanks for the response ARJ 09.
The following thread from Cedric Moonen is closer to what I am trying to do.
Any input from you is much appreciated.
I just want control to pass between dialogs. From the main frame to a calculator and back again
but I don't know where to put the code.

I guess by "forms" you are talking about a dialog, right ? It is a bit confusing because, in general, the term "forms" relate to managed C++ or C# (AFAIK). If you are 100% that you are doing pure C++ (well, with VC6 I guess that will be the case), then you have to create a new dialog and open that dialog.
To do so, create a new dialog resource in your resource files and open the class wizard. When doing so, it will ask you if you want to create a new class to associate with the resource and you have to say yes.
You can then use this new dialog class in your code and open the dialog by calling the DoModal() method.
You might want to look for more information by googling for dialog and MFC.
EDIT: by the way, choosing between an SDI app or a dialog based app really depends on what you want to do. If you want your calculator top open in a new window (new dialog), and you don't have something like data to be saved (the 'document'), the it is better to stick to a dialog based application because it is easier and you won't need all the stuff provided by an SDI app.

Thanks Cédric. I appreciate your help.
It is the 'and open the dialog by calling the DoModal() method.' part that I am having trouble with.
This is part of the generated code from my main dialog.
CBearsCalcsDlg dlg;
m_pMainWnd = &dlg;
int nResponse = dlg.DoModal();
if (nResponse == IDOK)
{
// TODO: Place code here to handle when the dialog is
// dismissed with OK
}
else if (nResponse == IDCANCEL)
{
// TODO: Place code here to handle when the dialog is
// dismissed with Cancel
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I'm guessing that in here I need code that reads something like -
if (btn1 = True)
display form2
elseif (btn2 = True)
display form3
elseif (btn3 = True)
display form4
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Since the dialog has been closed, return FALSE so that we exit the
// application, rather than start the application's message pump.
return FALSE;

If you followed the previous step, you should have a new class created in your project. When you want to open the dialog, simply create an instance of the class and call DoModal:
CMyNewDialog newDialog;<br />
newDialog.DoModal();
Of course, you need to have the class which has been created by the class wizard. Don't forget to include the header file of the class.

Thanks Cédric.
It is 22:30 here (Sydney) and I have been cutting mainframe code all day.
I will start a new app tomorrow and follow your advice. I know that one day the penny will drop
and this will all fall into place. It is just not today.
Thanks again.

Me again Cédric.
The answer for me lies in the use of the DoModal() function. I have been chasing this problem from the wrong end. I have been searching on multiple forms/documents when I should have been looking for DoModal examples.
I think I will be Ok now so thanks again.
Regards,
Raymond

I'm stuck in VC6 with not being able to have a 'Condition' on my string table.
Our main product and a 'light' version are built from the same project with a different build configuration.
They share toolbar button IDs (same tools, but fewer in light), but I'd like to change the associated string table entries in the light version.
e.g., a given tool ID might have string resource
"My main tool\nMain Tool"
whereas in the light version I might want it to say
"My tool\nTool"
I've though of some approaches:
1) Edit the compiled binary resources - works, but I have to remember to do it everytime / its quite tedious.
2) Try to do something with UpdateResource, but I'm failing to get that to work - can you use it to edit your own resources?
3) Have a separate set of tool IDs for the light version (not eminently maintainable).
Is there really no elegant way to do this?

you can use a resource dll. http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/d8ws31ff(VS.80).aspx
I have done this many times for other languages. 
Tip: the "light" resources belonging in the exe module, and the "full" in the dll. And the dll gets shipped with the full version.

Thanks for the suggestion - but for the sake of the five or six strings I need to modify, having a whole different copy of the resources seems like overkill - especially since they'd need to be kept in sync.
The simplest way is probably to just use different button IDs in the light version and duplicate the code linking them up to the same functions as in the full version.
It feels a bit ugly, but might be the best.

That is a fine solution. Include different toolbars and decide before loading which will get included.
I had a similar problem a while ago. I made a toolbar with all buttons and deleted the not needed at startup. In your case you need too have two buttons for the same command ID_CMD1_RELEASE and ID_CMD1_DEMO.

OK, I've mostly solved this programmatically!
I overrode OnSetMessageString (WM_SETMESSAGESTRING) and OnToolTipNotification (TTN_NEEDTEXT) in CMainFrame and replaced the string IDs of the relevant tools with equivalent light versions based on conditional compiler directives.
It still uses the 'wrong' string in the light version toolbar customisation dialog, but that is part of a 3rd party framework. I can live with that anyway.
I'm happy now!

What type of project are you using?
#include is for the compiler.
You are getting a linker error.
Try adding user32.lib in you project properties at
Project Properties -> Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies.

Hi all,
I tried to make an matching between two strings the first is Pattern(" * weather * ") and the second is the user's input like User_str("how is the weather in London?"), so these two strings matched as follows:
the first star * = "how is the"
weather = "weather"
And the second star * = "in London?"
The function should return true if matched and false if not.
I know the idea of this function its an old but I have to build it from scratch(without using regular expressions) for unicode strings with these restrictions
the * if its attached to the text(ex. weather) should match zero or more characters.
the * if its not attached to the text (ex. weather) should match one or more characters.
the ? should match only one character whatever where it is.
If anybody have an idea please let me know because i had some trials but my function is not working properly.
Thanks alot
