Unfortunately the answer is yes and no. Below is the answer I got from him:
"A very, very good question. About half the time, Poser will "speed" up to
it's original self, and the rest of the time, it pokes along like a turtle
in molasses high in the Alps in February, as if P3dO was still open. I've
checked to see which processes were still running (nothing unusual) and have
even flushed memory caches (doesn't have any effect).
I have a third-party memory tracking program (a de-bugger, if you will) that
will tell me when a block of memory has been "captured" by a program and
that refuses to release it. It hasn't reported anything unusual."
About other application running, he said this only occured with mine. Although people seldom run many app with Poser.
He has 1 Gb SDRAM on his machine a dual P3 750 Mhz and enough disk space. This is way enough for Poser use. I know the Poser web site well and I'm sure they won't answer such a question because they can't.
Yes, you're guessing for me but it's good to have some backing. I'm affraid the only thing left is to pray for a W2K compilation to solve the problem. I really can't see from here what is wrong with just that machine.
Thank you for your much appreciated help

Have him check the W2K event viewer and see if anything strange is in there. Maybe he has EDO memory and one of the sticks is starting to go bad. Guessing at this point.

I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

Hi Tim, I will ask him about the page faults. I don't think he has EDO memory this is a recent machine but we will see.
I was thinking as you did he might not have enough memory - altough 1 Gb - but I was rather thinking about virtual memory. I had such an adventure on a 700 Mhz Vaio with WMe. The machine ran with 128 Mb RAM and the many applications launched at system startup got more than 100 for themselves.

The answer is that no other programm slows down but Poser when P3dO is loaded and there is no page fault.

Um... wow...
It really sounds like it has to be an interaction problem between the two programs then.

I'm affraid. But I really can't see which one. I was also thinking about a shared .dll.
I'll try recompiling, some functions (like fopen) need to be recompile to run properly under NT. We'll see if this is enough.

I need to display a bitmap without a windows frame. I've seen code here at the code project that can do this but can't find it again.

Use the sample of splasj Screen. That will teach you how to do that...
If you don't find that sample, only add in a simple project, the componnet of splash screen, that you can find in the component gallery, and you will can see the class that make that....;)

Does anyone know how to catch the EXIT when you exit or when you push the small x on the caption before it exits the program. I would like to in some instances not exit and would like to know where then I can add my code to do this.
THanks for the help.

one way is add WindowProc to your application, and check if ( message == WM_CLOSE ).
|
|
|
|
|
You can also check the WM_SYSCOMMAND message, with the SC_CLOSE value set in the wParam parameter. This occurs before the WM_CLOSE message.

I've got an MFC app that uses pattern brushes to display a background within dialogs. There seems to be different behavior between Windows 2000 and XP regarding the brush origin . The brush is set in the WM_CTLCOLOR handler OnCtlColor as follows:
<nobr><br />
CPoint origin(0,0);<br />
pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);<br />
UnrealizeObject((HBRUSH)_BackgroundBrush);<br />
CRect rect;<br />
if (GetStyle() & WS_CHILD) {<br />
GetParent()->GetWindowRect(&rect);<br />
}<br />
else {<br />
GetWindowRect(&rect);<br />
}<br />
origin = rect.TopLeft();<br />
pWnd->ScreenToClient(&origin);<br />
pDC->SetBrushOrg(origin.x,origin.y);<br />
hbr = (HBRUSH)_BackgroundBrush;<br />
</nobr>
_BackgroundBrush is initialized elsewhere. This code is used in two dialogs; a main dialog, and then a second dialog that is 'embedded' within the main (it has the WS_CHILD style).
The problem I'm having is this. On Windows XP, the brushes all line up, and the bitmap pattern looks seemless across both the main dialog and the embedded one. On 2000, button controls (including group boxes) and statics do not align correctly . Supposedly Windows NT and its successors align brushes automatically, but I've found that they don't always do it correctly.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm not sure if we have a place to post WTL questions yet or not, but has anyone used what ships with VS.NET? The wizard generated query asserts at Allocate.cpp (line 247) when I click the File menu Is anyone here using that could help me?

WTL doesn't ship with VS.NET.
But the best place to ask WTL questions is:

Well don't I feel stooooopid. I had downloaded the WTL so long ago and installed the Wizard that when I looked at the wizards, I got excited thinking that they were finally shipping it with VS.NET.
In that case, I'm probably just out of date and need to update to WTL 7.
Thanks Tim!

Either search through google for "free icons" or search through the lounge posts for "free icons". There are some good links hidden amongst the lounge posts.

If your going use the icons in a shareware application,you should buy a small icon package from a artist or reputable source. The packages are usually cheap (10-15 usd) and you know what the terms of use are.
Many people rip random images from the web and submit it as free icons. I would rather pay a artist a few dollars then deal with stolen images. It not alot of money for peace of mind.
