"And Every time I run application then it shows the message indicating that another Instance is running but CloseHandle() function does not remove process."
I think this is the source of the problem. The CloseHandle API doesn't control the running process. It is used to tell the running process that a previous instance exists and that it should not run. It is not clear from the code snippet that application is terminated when the first instance of the application is detected.
For a MFC CWinApp this text would occur in the InitInstance member function,
BOOL CMyApp::InitInstance()
{
m_hMutex = ::CreateMutex(0, FALSE, "TestApp");
if (::GetLastError() == ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS) {
TRACE("TestApp: Already running");
::CloseHandle(m_hMutex);
return FALSE;
}
}
A return value of FALSE from CMyApp::InitInstance will terminate the second instance of the program. The important point is that the Mutex is a resource used by the process, not the process itself. When you detect the ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS condition you must terminate the application yourself. You must close the handle because CreateMutex returned a valid handle.

Thanks to you.
Sorry For the very late Reply on this htread becaz I do not want to create new thread for the same problem.
As you told in your post to test the code you show ,, I tested it and works fine.But i want to know some more things,, As you told that I have to terminate my application myself but how can I do that??? 
My problem is that when I run another instance of application then from my code it shows the message that another instance is running and I also close the Mutex Handle,But it creates new entry into the Process list(in TaskManager->Process tab).So how can I remove this entry when one is already running??

It is not clear to me which instance of the process you are trying to terminate. I have been assuming you want to terminate the second instance. I'll address that.
First what are the results we are looking for? The test program I use is the MFC program generated by MSVC App Wizard. The produces a program that will run two instances. When you do the Windows task manager will show both instances in the process list. To make the test results easy to see, sort the Task Manager process list by name in order to see the two processes listed together. If you then terminate one instance it will be removed from the process list after it has terminated. This is the result we are seeking. What we want is a way for the second instance of the program to detect the first instance of the program. When the first instance is detected the second program instance should terminate itself, just as if we had done it from the application. As before, the task manager process list will reflect that the second instance of the program terminated and remove it from the process list, leaving just the first instance running.
The way we detect the second instance of the program is to use a mutex object. Each instance of the program tries to create the mutex. This is doen when the application starts during InitInstance().
BOOL CMfctestApp::InitInstance()
{
m_hMutex = ::CreateMutex(0, FALSE, "TestApp");
if (::GetLastError() == ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS)
{
TRACE("TestApp: Already running");
::CloseHandle(m_hMutex), m_hMutex = 0;
return FALSE;
}
}
Note the use comma sequence operator and the explicit assignment of the mutex handle. A second instance of the application will get a valid handle to the existing mutex. Once we have closed the handle we do not want to use it again. We declare the m_hMutex handle as a private member variable in the application class,
class CMfctestApp : public CWinApp
{
private:
HANDLE m_hMutex;
};
Finally, we insure that the first instance of the application will properly release the mutex when the application terminates. This is done in ExitInstance()
int CMfctestApp::ExitInstance()
{
if (m_hMutex)
::CloseHandle(m_hMutex);
return CWinApp::ExitInstance();
}
The first instance of the program will have a valid, non null mutex handle and will close it. All other instances will have handle of 0.
If now run the program outside of the debugger and look at the Task Manager process list and you will see the first instance running. In the MSVC IDE place a breakpoint in the InitInstance member function and run the program under the debugger. When the breakpoint is hit look at the process list in the Task Manager and you will see both instances running. Let the second instance of the program, in the debugger, continue and you should see the process get removed from the task list.

Hi, i follow your way to create the program, so far is okay.
but i try to add the code below in
ExitInstance()
{
if(m_hMutex)
{
::CloseHandle(m_hMutex);
ReleaseMutex(m_hMutex);
}
if(m_hMutex)
{
::CloseHandle(m_hMutex);
ReleaseMutex(m_hMutex);
}
return CWinApp::ExitInstance();

The CreateMutex does not work on Win 7 32 bit. Even if the application already exists it returns a success..
Any thought?
Thanks..

Hi..all's
I am making a program. I need to fetch record from Oracle database and
print these record to .txt file . I write a program for this . Although
i fetch record from database and store these record to result set .
Now i can exteract these record from object of CRecordset class and how can i write these record to .txt file although . I have create file successfully. My code is written below.
CDatabase *Dbase = new CDatabase();
CRecordset rs;
int count=0;
if(!Dbase->Open("aixmmapping_72",FALSE,FALSE,"ODBC;DSN=aixmmapping_72;UID=aixmmapping_72;PWD=aixmmapping_72"))
{
MessageBox(" Can Not Connect With Database");
}else
{
rs.Open(CRecordset::dynaset,_T("Select * from vor"));
while(!rs.IsEOF())
{
rs.MoveNext();
}
CFile obj;
obj.Open( "D:\\Yogi\\Test\\abc.txt", CFile::modeCreate|CFile:: modeReadWrite);
char TextData[800];
strcpy(TextData, "rs");
obj.Write(TextData,800);
MessageBox("File Write Successfully");
rs.Close();
}
Please help me

Refer CRecordset::GetFieldValue[^] and pay particular attention to the Note in the remarks section, which mentions that you should NOT have the ODBC Cursor Library loaded.

First of all Thanks for reply.....
I can get record from database and can print it to .txt file.
but all the record print in a single line.
Can you told me how can make formatting of file so that each and every row print in a saprate line.
Again Thanks for help

Here is what I get from the code you posted:
Open database
Open a recordset of all fields of table "vor"
Walk through all records in the recordset, doing nothing with each record
Open a file
Write the single string "rs" to the file
close the file
close the recordset
the MSDN article I linked includes a piece of sample code that:
walks through all the records of the recordset
walks each of the fields of each record
what I think you need to do is:
figure out how to write each varValue to the file
include a write to file of a cariage-return line-feed pair before the rs.MoveNext()

I am trying to do this like
sStr.Empty();
sStr="\n";
strcpy(TextData, sStr);
obj.Write(TextData,sStr.GetLength());
rs.MoveNext();
But its not working....
Can u told me where i am making wrong

Could anyone tell me how to restrict a window from being dragged outside the visible screen of the desktop?
Your help would be much appreciated, thank you.

Try handling either of the below...
1. CWnd::OnWindowPosChanged()
or
2. WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED

I've used OnWindowPosChanging already and my code looks like this:
void CSnapDialog::OnWindowPosChanging( WINDOWPOS* lpwndpos )
{
int m_EdgeSnapGap = 1;
RECT rcScrn;
SystemParametersInfo (SPI_GETWORKAREA, 0, &rcScrn, 0);
//Snap X axis
if (abs(lpwndpos->x - rcScrn.left) <= m_EdgeSnapGap)
{
lpwndpos->x = rcScrn.left;
//???
//Code is needed here to prevent window from drifting
//outside the left edge of visible screen
}
else if (abs(lpwndpos->x + lpwndpos->cx - rcScrn.right) <= m_EdgeSnapGap)
{
lpwndpos->x = rcScrn.right - lpwndpos->cx;
//???
//Code is needed here to prevent window from drifting
//outside the right edge of the visible screen
}
//Snap Y axis
if (abs(lpwndpos->y - rcScrn.top) <= m_EdgeSnapGap)
{
lpwndpos->y = rcScrn.top;
//???
//Code is needed here to prevent window from drifting
//outside the top edge of the visible screen
}
else if (abs(lpwndpos->y + lpwndpos->cy - rcScrn.bottom) <= m_EdgeSnapGap)
{
lpwndpos->y = rcScrn.bottom - lpwndpos->cy;
//???
//Code is needed here to prevent window from drifting
//outside the bottom edge of the visible screen
}
}
Can anyone help me on what code I should supply to make this work correctly?

Hi,
The program that I am working on uses two external DLL modules.
[program.exe] uses [library.dll]
[library.dll] uses [another_library.dll]
I have stepped through the program line by line, and have used the CRT break on allocation debugging feature. Upon exiting the program in debug mode within visual studio, it reports a lot of memory leaks. However, I believe these messages to be false.
Here is basically what happens.
[program.exe]
-->CMFCApplication
---->Initialise();
------>[library.dll]
-------->AllocateSomeMemory();
---------->[another_library.dll]
------------>AllocateSomeMoreMemory();
When the application closes I have confirmed that the processes exit in the following order:
[library.dll], [another_library.dll], [program.exe].
When [library.dll] exits the 'Output' panel within visual studio indicates that there is a memory leak. The memory is then released by [another_library.dll] after the leak has been reported within the output panel.
All three modules use the /MDd (Debug) /MD (Release) switches for multi-threaded dll, so they each share exactly the same memory manager.
Is there a way which I can force the DLL processes to be terminated in the specific order:
[another_library.dll], [library.dll], [program.exe]? Because I am confident that this will resolve the issue. I understand that it is probably safe for me to ignore this warning output...but future (problemsome) memory leaks will be masked by the fake ones. This could lead to some serious problems.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated...this is driving me nuts!

1. Shouldn't another_library.dll be released first? Library.dll is using another_library.dll, but library.dll dies in the half way. Therefore the system has no clue to release the resources of another_library.dll currently being used by library.dll.
2. Unreleased threads (suspended) can also cause memory leak warnings. Before the program exits, you should let all the threads exit.

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply.
[another_library.dll] is a core library which is actively used by both [library.dll] and [program.exe].....I should have mentioned this before.
So we have [another_library.dll] which uses [library.dll]
and [program.exe] which uses [another_library.dll] as well as [library.dll].
The threads are all executing their detatch command upon program exit....just in the wrong order, in that the memory leak is warned before the offending objects even have a chance to be cleaned.
Thanks,
Lea Hayes

This is the primary reason why I follow Microsofts recommendation of having Initialization and Termination routines exported from the dll's that are separate from DllMain. Its basically the only way you can guarantee the calling order. Refer: DllMain Callback Function[^]

Hi,
Thank you for your advice, I have created an exported class object which has an initialise and deinitialise method. They are automatically called by the constructor and destructor for added security. The main application calls the global objects deinitialise method which forces the library to be cleaned upon exit, and before any modules are terminated. This appears to have solved the problem.
Many thanks!

Hi all,
I've create a window using CreateWindowEx windows API and do some work on it. Thats fine. But for the safer operation at the end of all the processing I want to close/destroy the window.
I've try this code, Here m_hwnd_RTFBox is the handle to the window. On the above code there is no compile error, but gives a runtime error and saying there is a unhandled exception on the first line. Where I'm going wrong. I found this from the MSDN, but it wont work.
BOOL clsWin = DestroyWindow(m_hwnd_RTFBox);
if(clsWin != 0)
{
printf("SS");
}
<pre>
I appreciate your help all the time...

I've test another thing also. First send a message to the window and then try to destroy the window. Sending message is ok, but on destroy window gives a error.
BOOL sendMess = PostMessage(m_hwnd_RTFBox, WM_DESTROY, 0, 0);
if(sendMess != 0)
{
DestroyWindow(m_hwnd_RTFBox);
}
Access violation gives on the DestroyWindow() function.
I appreciate your help all the time...
