Since its your worker thread, I hope you've the worker thread handle. Look at the place where the thread is getting created. Then you can terminate it by calling TerminateThread().

This is bad advice which, unfortunately, is given way too often. See here[^] for details.

Try to avoid use of TerminateThread.
You can use some condition to return from the worker thread function.
May be you can introduce some flag and when the fag is set to false you can return from thread function. Whenever you want to terminate the thread just reset the flag variable.
You can use Events also instead of flag.

I have to read a property file to get the values from it.
I am creating a generic DLL program were I have to put the path for this properties file in such a way that it can be accessed from anywere.
At present I am hardcoding it like..
char path[]="c:\properties\file.properties"
Now if the dll gets created with this path and the properties file is in another folder. how do I access it. Please help me with some suggestions.
I have to make it generic.
THANKS.

One simple alternative is Environment variables . Configure an Environment variable and set the path in it. Your application will be reading the file path from the env var. So that you can modify the filepath at anytime without modifying your application.
You can also use registry for keeping the filepath.

Jijo.

Now I do it in this way...
char *prop_path;
prop_path = getenv ("file.properties");
and get the following error..
error C2501: 'prop_path' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
error C2040: 'prop_path' : 'int' differs in levels of indirection from 'char *'
error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'char *' to 'int'
This conversion requires a reinterpret_cast, a C-style cast or function-style cast
How shud i get rid of them .please suggest.

Which version of VC++ you are using?
VS 2003 and above there are a lots of issues with cast between char* and wchar*. If you have a newer version try using getenv_s or wgetenv_s functions.
I am using Visual studio 2002 and the following code runs sucessfully:
char* envVarVal;
envVarVal = getenv("PATH");
AfxMessageBox(envVarVal);
In any case, be advised that getenv() and _putenv() only affect the environment variables for your own process.
They do not add system wide accessable environment variable.
In case you require that, instead of setting environment variables, try storing the path of the file in the registry.

Ok fine.. But how do I store the path of the file in the registry.
How does it work.
THANKS

Might be u could put your DLL in to C:\windows and C:\Windows\system32 folder. but that would be not right approach, if your are comfortable in COM, that you could make com dll. it would surly available, when ever you make the call with right interface.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to load a resource (mp3 file) into global memory so other apps can access the resource.
I use the combination of FindResourceEx/LoadResource/LockResource (it works perfect) and i'm able to get the pointer to the data but it's useless since i don't have access to the size of the resource so, apps don't know how many bytes to read. What can i do to get the data size???
Thanks in advance.

Use SizeofResource on the handle that you get from FindResourceEx

Using Visual C++ 6.0 MFC in SDI application
I want to setup an SDI program where the user can switch between client views (two initially and as I add more things possibly switch between more views). I found example code where I could do this using default client windows with no scrolling, but I don't understand how to set it up so that all the client views have scrolling capability. In a book that explained how to do this, they used non-scrolling views. But I can't use that code because it gets the active view and then loops through views of different classes comparing view classes. That code only works for views of CView type and not for views of CScrollView type. Any suggestions on how to do this?
Thanks ahead of time
