Here my Question Again: Is it possible to draw !BEHIND! the Desktop Icons on Vista (Animated)?

I would like to create a MFC project but when I create a project the option is greyed out. how can i use it?

Express edition is free and doesn't have MFC support. You will have to buy Visual Studio, if you want to develop applications using MFC.

Purchasing one of the other editions of Visual Studio.

BTW do you really need MFC?

Well, I have to admit, I'm involved in Microsoft's Visual Studio Express campaign!

[Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack Release^] updates MFC with cool look and feel feature like Office 2007, Office 2003 and Office XP look and feel. Its really going to rock. Smile | :)

Real men don't need those fancy things.

True, actually i thought to add those in my previous post.
Anyway that is good news for MFC developers that first thing is development is going on MFC and next thing is good news for those who are trying to implement those cool stuffs with their own efforts. And I feel more convenient with VS 2005 IDE than VS 6.0 IDE. Smile | :)

Can you more about your project maybe you dont need to use of MFC.

Hi..

I am running thread..I want to end the thread after 1 minutes..

i am getting the Current time..
i am taking the given time

End Time = Current Time + Given time..

Now i want to end thread after 1 minutes.

plz help me

thank you

And what is your doubt about? Cannot the thread routine itself monitor such a time interval?

hi..

First i am getting the current time
Example Current Time = 03.00pm
Given time 1 minute.
End Time = 03.01 pm

thread should exit after 03.01pm

but when i comparing CurrTime = EndTime.

The current time is showing 03.00pm

but after 1 minute the current time should be 03.01pm

i cant compare

help me

It was the algoritm can you make a code for it? Poke tongue | ;-P

Since it is (by OP's admission) a buggy algorithm, hence yes, I can implement it. Poke tongue | ;-P

Hi..
here code.

////////////////////////

cDuration = _ttoi(linfo->sDuration);
StartTime = COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime();
CurrTime = COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime();
CurTime.Format("%02d:%02d:%02d",CurrTime.GetHour(),CurrTime.GetMinute(),CurrTime.GetSecond());
COleDateTimeSpan ts(0,0,cDuration,0);
EndTime = StartTime + ts;
StTime.Format("%02d:%02d:%02d",EndTime.GetHour(),EndTime.GetMinute(),EndTime.GetSecond());

if(linfo->bServerConnected==false)
{
if(CurTime <= StTime)
{
linfo->btimeOut = false;
}
else
linfo->btimeOut = true;

if(CurTime <= StTime)
while(linfo->btimeOut == false)
{
run the thread

if(CurTime == StTime)
{
linfo->btimeOut = true;
ExitThread(dwExitCode);
_endthread();

}
}

What a mess!
(1) use <pre> tags to surround code snippets.
(2) You should never use ExitThread.
(3) What is the purpose of _endthread()
(4) What is the purpose of the following lines?

CurTime.Format("%02d:%02d:%02d",CurrTime.GetHour(),CurrTime.GetMinute(),CurrTime.GetSecond());
StTime.Format("%02d:%02d:%02d",EndTime.GetHour(),EndTime.GetMinute(),EndTime.GetSecond());

(BTW how are CurTime, StTime declared?)
(5) A far a I can see CurTime is never updated.
(6) Probably an equality test on times is not appropriate (maybe better >=).

IMHO we're a bit far from the target.

That means it is updated inside the thread routine. Could you please post that code (maybe the variable declaration will be helpful too)?

Well, code needs a bit refactoring I suppose. We could help.

OMG, You're comparing strings!
Anyway, I don't see any thread routine in your post.
