Hi !
I started yesterday to write my first MDI app (with MFC, let's get at it slowly  ). This is a kind of text viewer, maybe editor (Yes, another one  but i think it's a good example to start). You may say there is not much to do, but ...
Anyway, my first problem is that i'd like the child windows to be maximized when a document is opened. Currently the child window is about half the size of the screen, in the middle. Since the main frame is maximized at startup, i'd like the child win to be maximized also.
So i intercetpted the CREATESTRUCT from the PreCreateWindow in CMDIChild class, and did :
cs.style|=WS_MAXIMIZE;
But this would not change anything. I tried this in several other places, and also with ShowWindow(WS_MAXIMZED), but no way, my win is still not maximized.  What's wrong ?

Try:
ShowWindow(SW_MAXIMIZE);
((CMDIFrameWnd *)AfxGetMainWnd())->RedrawWindow(NULL, NULL,
RDW_INVALIDATE | RDW_ALLCHILDREN);
or MDIMaximize().

Thanks. I'll give it a try.
I did not think it was that complicated  : your hint seems a little bit tricky  (Do not get me wrong, I just mean that I usually use the AfxGet**() functions when I did not get anything else to work ). Is it possible that the Child Window initially have wrong system metrics (so that it thinks that the maximized size is the size that it actually has on startup, i.e. not the screen size ) ?
[Look at MSDN]
Oh, I think MDIMaximize should be what I need.
Big thanks

I don't know.
I have tried to overwrite MyChildFrame::Create and to modify the style before calling CMDIChildWnd::Create but nothing happened. The call to ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED) - which, by the way, equals MDIMaximize()  - remained a must.
But, if you want to do it with a SDI window - 100% API stuff - the metrics work perfectly and are not forgotten. You have to call ShowWindow(SW_SHOW) and the window appears as maximized. This seems to be the natural windows' behaviour - for API SDI, at least.

Ok tried yesterday evening. It was really that the Child window had the wrong system metrics for it to work with modifying the style in the CREATESTRUCT of PrecCreateWindow().
Also tried with MDIMaximize() surprisingly did not work, whereas ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED) works perfectly (In fact, i can rememeber i tried ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED) in PreCreateWindow instead of Create before posting my initial thread, and this did not work. Solution was to do it in Create instead. 
Well, it works, so lots of thanks for your help anf for you having bothered to try out.

Why this Code make the System Icon Crazy? 
Can you tell me how to solve the problem? 
CMainFrame::CMainFrame()
{
bFirst=true;
CShellPidl pidl((UINT)CSIDL_DESKTOP, m_hWnd);
SHFILEINFO sfi;
ZeroMemory(&sfi, sizeof(SHFILEINFO));
HIMAGELIST hSysImageList = (HIMAGELIST) SHGetFileInfo((LPCTSTR)(LPCITEMIDLIST)pidl,
0, &sfi, sizeof(SHFILEINFO), SHGFI_PIDL | SHGFI_SYSICONINDEX | SHGFI_SMALLICON);
theApp.m_smallSystemIcon.Attach(hSysImageList);
ZeroMemory(&sfi, sizeof(SHFILEINFO));
hSysImageList = (HIMAGELIST) SHGetFileInfo((LPCTSTR)(LPCITEMIDLIST)pidl,
0, &sfi, sizeof(SHFILEINFO), SHGFI_PIDL | SHGFI_SYSICONINDEX | SHGFI_LARGEICON);
theApp.m_largeSystemIcon.Attach(hSysImageList);
}
CMainFrame::~CMainFrame()
{
theApp.m_smallSystemIcon.Detach();
theApp.m_largeSystemIcon.Detach();
theApp.SalvaListe();
if (m_hLanguageDLL)
FreeLibrary(m_hLanguageDLL);
}
Best regards

I'm using softice version 3.2.
I want to set history buffer size to 2048 KB.
I try to set it with that value, and then reboot my machine.
But softice keep the history only about 200 KB.
I don't know why? Can you tell me how to set history buffer size to 2048 KB?
Thanks.

Back in my BeOS days, I was exposed to a faster mutex implemenation which coupled an atomic_add with a semaphore. The implementation was (in pseudo code):
Mutex constructor:
int_avail_count = 1;
sem_avail_count = 0;
Lock:
atomic_add( &int_avail_count, -1 )
if int_avail_count was 1: return
else (someone else held the mutex): wait on semaphore; for first waiter, sem_avail_count goes to -1
Unlock:
atomic_add( &int_avail_count, 1 )
if int_avail_count was 0: return
else (someone else was or would soon be waiting on the semaphore): release the semaphore; for last waiter, sem_avail_count goes to 0 again
I just encountered a situation in a Win32 app where I have a body of data which must be protected by a critical section, but will be hit often from a high-priority thread. There will be very little if any contention for this data so it's a prime candidate for this construct, which saves a trip into the kernel for a mutex acquisition. I'm therefore looking into using InterlockedIncrement/InterlockedDecrement, CreateEvent/SetEvent/WaitForSingleObject to implement this design for windows. But... On BeOS, mutexes and events were implemented as generic semaphores involving a count. It was perfectly legitimate for a thread to release a semaphore even if it doesn't own it (that was the client's responsibility to enforce). But since ReleaseMutex is documented with: "The ReleaseMutex function fails if the calling thread does not own the mutex object" it requires the use of an event. To use this design on Windows requires an event, not a mutex, and would depend on a behavior, so now the question:
First, if multiple threads are blocked on an event and a single call is made to SetEvent, does one waiting thread unblock, or all? If all, this design is not feasible. If one, on to the next question...
Second, if multiple threads are blocked on an event, and a single call is made to SetEvent, are they released in FIFO order, or arbitrary? Hopefully FIFO, as the design also depends on that behavior.

It depends on the type of event. For auto-reset events, only one. For manual-reset, all waiting threads are released. The SetEvent() docs explain it in more detail.
Second, if multiple threads are blocked on an event, and a single call is made to SetEvent, are they released in FIFO order, or arbitrary?
Arbitrary, there is no guarantee on which thread gets woken up.

Rereading the CreateEvent docs, I do see now the statement about a single thread being released, thanks. In the process I noticed something else that I'd overlooked: that there are semaphore functions at all. With windows I'd only used events and mutexes per se and hadn't noticed semaphores. Switched to the semaphore now, works great.
Thanks,
Brian

Hello,
I'm trying to arrange more than 100000 items in the listview with icon style. I use ListView_SetItemPosition32 and it works fine for fewers items but having problem to arrange more items. Some items (such as 3xxx - 5xxx) goes to the top of the first item I've inserted (index 0 item) and they got -y position in the view. I've never assign nagitave position value to any item but how come the y came out to be nagitave.
Any idea why? TIA!
thanks!

Can remember having read something like this in the forum. Can it be that you overflow any item position variable ? Also try to use only unsigned types for item positions in your code.

 Will _really_ someone use this ? Seems quite a lot of data to work with in a listview!

With so many items in a list view you should consider to use a
"virtual" list view[^]

I have a problem with converting all serialized data of MFC Object such as COleClientItem, CDocItem and CObject to XML. I would appreciate it if someone could suggest me how to solve this problem.
Thank very much for your help.

If the item is text, then the easiest way I can think of is with a macro, because a macro can write a variables name in place, so you can turn int Size = 5 to <Size>5</Size> very easily.

I finally figured out how to get my dlls setup properly and exported the functions and was able to import the functions into another project. When I did this I had to add the .lib file to my project and compile the project with the lib file to be able to access the exported functions.
What I would really like to do is link to the dll Explicitly using LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress. To explain why I need to ask another question. I am going to have a series of dlls that will all export the same functions but will have different data returned depending on the dll that is called. For example each dll might have a function exported call GetNames(). If dll1 is called in might return John, Jill, Jack and Joe. If dll2 is called it might return Amber, Ally, Allen and Ashely. Now what I really wanted to be able to do is not have to recompile the the main application when I add each dll. I need a way to be able to have my main application check to see which dlls are available and then call those functions for each dll. If I have to include the .lib file for each dll won't I have to recompile the project each time I add a new dll? Or will I have to recompile the project each time no matter which style I use?
Thanks for all the help from everyone with my relentless dll questions.
-Eric
