Right!

You could read these couple of very good essays:

Inside memory allocation[^]
Memory damage primer[^]

They aren't particularly explaining how the OS reclaims the resources after a process exits, but nevertheless they make a great read.

The language used to build your program is irrelevant. The OS will ALWAYS take it back after your program is done!

In addition to other answer, I just wantewd to say that it is very good practice to always release the memory you are using. This will reduce the risk of memory leaks you will have when the application is running (see another answer about memory leaks).

Even if the OS will reclaim the memory, it's no excuse not to clean up yourself.

Always clean up your allocated memory. Even though the OS will reclaim the allocated memory, deleting objects (C++) might have important side effects, such as releasing resources in other processes the instance has allocated on construction. This might lead to 'leaks' in other running processes. Also, if you don't properly delete allocated resources, your code will not be reusable in other applications. Cleaning up your own mess is an important part of C++. Clean up.

Hi all,

I'd recommend that you set a conditional breakpoint, and try to look at the call stack to see what caused the failure.

I hope you know that MFC comes with source code.

It appears to me that you are generating threads "as required" in your program. Am I wrong? If not, on what conditions do you attempt to create the threads?

Also, please post the relevant portions of the code. The way you are creating the threads, I mean the way you are calling the AfxBeginthread(...), could hold a clue.

//here CTest_Thread is class that is derived from CWinThread

int in_num=0;
std::map<int, CTest_Thread*>  assocs_th;

assocs_th[in_num] = (CTest_Thread*) AfxBeginThread( RUNTIME_CLASS(CTest_Thread), THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL, NULL,CREATE_SUSPENDED, NULL);

if (NULL != assocs_th[in_num])
{
	//assign values to thread class variables
	//assocs_th[in_num]->file_path = path;
	assocs_th[in_num]->ResumeThread();

1, How many such threads are you actually creating?

2, Are you in need of UI threads or worker threads?

3, Are you aware that you are actually creating UI threads?

4, Have you setup a breakpoint and stepped into the code while it fails as I pointed out earlier?

Also, what's the point of having an int in_num and incrementing it, because neither is it declared static, nor is it running within a loop where the incrementing happens. Confused | :confused:

You seem to ignore the questions that are actually important to solve this thread. Instead, you keep on giving useless information.

If you don't provide all the details that you were asked, chances of you getting help here is bleak.

That doesn't make any sense.

Without linking to the multi-threaded version of the CRT, you cannot make a call to AfxBeginThread(). The compiler will complain, because AfxBeginThread()internally uses _beginthreadex() to spawn a thread, which can be called only if you link to the multi-threaded version of CRT.

Hi All,

I am getting flicker when Disable the CToolBar Buttons when ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI message with
CmdUI->Enable(FALSE) twice depending on some condition.
But everytime I move my mouse the grayed-out button flickers.
Un-grayed buttons do not flicker. Any Prolem whith this.

Code
-------

void CMainFrame::OnUpdateFileDeleteplans(CCmdUI* pCmdUI)
{
bool bExecuteSQLWin = false;

if(bExecuteSQLWin)
pCmdUI->Enable(FALSE);
else
pCmdUI->Enable();

pCmdUI->Enable(CheckOpenPlans()); --> Here i added with a Function CheckOpenPlans().......>==========//

}

bool CMainFrame::CheckOpenPlans()
{
CMDIChildWnd* MyWnd = NULL;
MyWnd = MDIGetActive();
CView* pView = NULL;

if(MyWnd != NULL)
{
pView = (CView*) MyWnd->GetActiveView();
if((pView->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(CSelectQueryView)) || pView->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(OpenPlansTreeView))))
{
MyWnd = NULL;
pView = NULL;
return false;
}
else
{
MyWnd = NULL;
pView = NULL;
return true;
}
}

return true;

Hi All,

I am using VC++ 6.0. I am using ODBC to connect to DB2 database. I wonder if there is any driver(connector) dedicated for VC6.0.

Hi ALL,

Yes it is possible. You can use Adobe Flash Player ActiveX control in ypur VC++ project. You can make use of events and methods provided by Adobe Flash Player control to communicate between C++ and the Flash file (Which is the result of compiling your Flex project).

in addition to what is said above, don't wonder to hear that you can call functions in your swf flash movie from C++, and events dispatched from swf can be handled in c++, using the interfaces provided by flash player activex.
