>Could you setting the event on SetEvent(pJobObj->hMailEvent) before >WaitForSingleObject()? Do a simple test add:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Why ? Originally, the pJobObj->hMailEvent is on non-signaled state. And, when the MailThreadFunc() is finished, I set this event to signaled state.
So, I can NOT put SetEvent(pJobObj->hMailEvent) before WaitForSingleObject() in MasterThreadFunc(). (Is this what you mean ?)
>Sleep(100); before //// do something here!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Al:
In fact, I have a Sleep(5000) right before SetEvent(pJobObj->hMailEvent) in MailThreadFunc(..).. Same result as I described.

I don't know then!
Looks good to me.

That isn't a problem with events unless you use something like PulseEvent.

It looks like it would be a problem in how you are managing your job pointers. You have them stored in a std::vector?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
No, I did not use std::vector. I use my own linked list (queue) to store my job pointers. And, when I try to remove the "store operation" to list (i.e, now I did not keep these job pointers), same thing. So, I guess the problem should be on the thread or thread function ?
But the above code is fine in this case: job 1 is triggered before job 2 and, job 1 is also "done" before job 2.
I still don't know why.

I got it already ! Thanks for everybody's reply.
JOBINST pJobObj = (JOBINST) lpParam;
pJobObj->hMailEvent = CreateEvent( 0, FALSE, FALSE, "Mail Thread Event" );
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Wrong for the event string - "Mail Thread Event" !!
Every event should be unique !
So, the correct one is something like this:
char strMailEvent[ 64 ];
wsprintf( strMailEvent, "MyMailEvent %x",( DWORD )pJobObj );
pJobObj->hMailEvent = CreateEvent( 0, FALSE, FALSE, strMailEvent );
because every pJobObj is unique (allocated from heap), I use this as key for every event.

Ok,... I would rather use the help files that C++ comes with rather than ask you guys all the time. "no offence" There are good reasons for this, 1. dont have to bother you with stupid questions i can first find out on my own. 2. It would just be more helpfull for me 
ok... i wanted to change the color of the background using win32 console app.
the file said... "exactly "
---------------------------------------------------
CDC::SetBkColor
virtual COLORREF SetBkColor( COLORREF crColor );
Return Value
The previous background color as an RGB color value. If an error occurs, the return value is 0x80000000.
Parameters
crColor
Specifies the new background color.
Remarks
Sets the current background color to the specified color. If the background mode is OPAQUE, the system uses the background color to fill the gaps in styled lines, the gaps between hatched lines in brushes, and the background in character cells. The system also uses the background color when converting bitmaps between color and monochrome device contexts.
If the device cannot display the specified color, the system sets the background color to the nearest physical color.
CDC Overview | Class Members | Hierarchy Chart
See Also CDC::BitBlt, CDC::GetBkColor, CDC::GetBkMode, CDC::SetBkMode, CDC::StretchBlt,::SetBkColor
---------------------------------------------------------------
Now,... how do i use the info that this help file tells me, for that i can do what i want to do in my program? "that is, change the color to white, or blue"
How do i read this and use it?
Thanks All!

SetBkColor is not related to the console. It looks like you looked up a function from MFC, and MFC is only useful for developing windows applications.
SilverShalkin wrote:

If you were using MFC, you would create a CDC object. Then you would be able to call the member function of CDC called SetBKColor. One more thing to note, is that a COLORREF can be created
with the RGB() macro, were you provide the RGB color combinations to create a new color.
If you wanted to set the background color to red, you would do this:
void DoSomething (CDC *dc)
{
dc->SetBkColor(RGB(255,0,0));
...
}
I am sorry I do not know console programming well enough to tell you how to change the background color.

CDC::SetBkColor
This is a GDI functions that has nothing to do with console I/O. Have a look at SetConsoleTextAttribute.

Ok... my mistake... "that makes things a little bit easier to understand
How do i find files only on Win32 console App.'s that i can use to program? and how do i know wether it is a mfc or win32?
Thanks!

You browse the "outline" of the "books". The window to the left tells you where you are and what "book" you are reading. The path element "Platform SDK" should be obvious. From that one you drill down to "Windows Base Services" and somewhere under that you find this functions. I really hope there's no way in h*ll the POS MFC manages to creep into the SDK also.

I want to pass a handle to an stl container to a windows callback. However, what I'm doing is causing an exception and that's because what I get in the callback isn't the original container. How do I do this correctly?
typedef std::map<int, std::string> MyMap;
BOOL CALLBACK MyCallback(HWND hwnd, LPARAM lParam)
{
MyMap& myMap = reinterpret_cast<MyMap&>(lParam);
// if I change myMap here it goes BOOM!
myMap[0] = std::string("test");
}
void Test()
{
MyMap myMap;
EnumWindows(MyCallback, &map);
}

Try changing that, to this:
MyMap *myMap = reinterpret_cast<MyMap*>(lParam);

Hi.
I am working on a program that displays displays text similar to a text editor. The program works as expected, however, it takes a very long time to display a text file that is 60k or larger.
I am using CEditView as view. Here is the algorithm that displays the texts.
-----
int MAXSIZE = 256;
char text[MAXSIZE];
CEdit &edit = GetEditCtrl();
edit.SetWindowText("first line");
edit.GetLine(0, text, MAXSIZE); // get first line "first line"
CString newText, temp;
temp.Format("%s", text);
newText.Formate("%s%s%s", temp, "\r\n", newText);
...
-----
The concept of the algorithm is this:
1) display first line
2) get first line
3) add first line & new line in a string
4) display string
5) continue until all *new lines* are added
As you can see, this algorithm is extremely impractically. I compared it to Microsoft's Notepade. Notepage *does not* slow done until you open a file that is 1mb or larger.
Is there a better and *faster* way to display multiple lines of text while using the CEditView? Is there a way at all?
Thanks,
Kuphryn

Why are you allocating memory for each separate string?
Why do you not just load the entire string into one buffer?
You can store newline information in the string.

Each line of text is saved inside of a linked list of CString. If a file contains ten lines of text, then the program would inside ten CString objects inside the linked list. The program can edit text. As the user make changes to a, the program would update the mirror object inside the linked list.
I need a better way to display all the lines inside the linked list.

You may want to consider storing the lines of your text in a different type of container besides a linked list. The lookup time for a linked list is O(n). Meaning, if you have n lines in your file, in order to lookup the last line of the text you would have to navigate through n objects.
Consider your 60K file. Say that each line is 100 bytes long. That would give you 600 lines. If you want to get to the string on the 600th line, you will have to navigate through all 600 lines to get to the end and access the last line.
A better choice would be a vector, where lookup is O(1), which means you can access any of the lines with one lookup. Memory allocations may become a problem with a vector. So you could also consider a Map, which its underlying representation is a tree (if you are using STL) and the look up time would be O(log(n)). Which still beats O(n) by a long shot.

Thanks.
You made a very good point. First off, I made a change to the display algorithm. This new algorithm concatenate all lines into one string and then display one string only.
New algorithm:
-----
currentData = pDoc->GetOneLine(pos++);
rE.SetWindowText(currentData);
if (pDoc->GetLineCount() > 1)
{
newData.Format("%s\r\n%s", static_cast<lpctstr>(currentData), pDoc->GetOneLine(pos++));
for (size_t i = 2; i < pDoc->GetLineCount(); ++i)
{
newData += "\r\n";
newData += pDoc->GetOneLine(pos++);
}
rE.SetWindowText(static_cast<lpctstr>(newData));
}
-----
Okay. The reason I chose a linked list was because the program needs to remove one or more nodes at any section of the list. Vector does not have the feature of direct insertion and removal anywhere in the data structure. I have not consider a map. I will definitely consider it now that you have brought it up.

I created a class based on CFormView and written a WM_SIZE handler.
When I create form size smaller then Dialog in resourse, controls are resizing correctly, but scrollbars appears...
When I sroll scrollbars there are blank space, and srollable area always have same size as dialog resource...
You can see my problem here: http://www.mediagate.ru/title.gif
any ideas?
Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

You can change the size of a form view area. At the end of the OnSize function call
SetScaleToFitSize(cx, cy) ;
This will stop the scroll bars from appearing.

Thank you for this solution, all works as I need, but sometime, when cy==0 I have Debug Assertion in wingdi.cpp on following line (465):
VERIFY(::SetWindowExtEx(m_hAttribDC, x, y, &size));
I finded this solution:
SIZE csize;
csize.cx=cx;
csize.cy=cy==0?1:cy;
SetScaleToFitSize(csize);
may be there are another ways to correct this problem?

Does anyone know how to get a handle to the icon of a running exe?
Thanks
|
|
|
|
|
Are you talking about while your program is running or just get the icon from another application?
If you simply need the icon from another application, you can load the exe of that application into Dev Studio and extract the icon.
If you need the icon while your program is running that will be a little more difficult. What you need to do is get the top level window of that application, and call GetClassInfo. This will give you a WNDCLASS structure that will allow you to get the HICON.

I can't seem to get GetClassInfo to work with an HINSTANCE of an external module. Does this function only work with the HINSTANCE of the current process?
