Yes. A call to GetBuffer requires a call to ReleaseBuffer. Failing to do so results in a memory leak.

There is no need to call GetBuffer for thos purposes. CString has an (LPCTSTR) operator to convert to const TCHAR* implicitly, so in non-UNICODE builds, that operator returns a const char*.

We create a dialog box from a Document View Application, it's fairly easy. But it should also be possible to do 'invert' this operation, i.e., using dialog based application as 'main window', a doc view program must start, for example, on clicking a button on the dialog box. I tried to make it using two three ways but I was only partly successful.
Suppose you have created a new dialog based MFC application. Add a button, call it 'Start Doc View'. On clicking this button, a Doc View application should pop up. I implemented something like this:
void C...Dlg::OnDocView( ) // click event for the button
{
ShellExecute(...); // Supply the name of Doc View EXE and path...
}
But this has a disadvantage that, if the dialog application is closed, the Doc View still remains on the screen. I don't want this disadvantage. What is desired is, if the dialog based app closes, the Doc View should also 'die'.
I tried to use Doc View as DLL (I saw one or two articles at CodeGuru). Built and copied the DLL (also .h and .lib files of Doc View) into the dialog-based project, but could not make much headway. Could also be my mistake.
I am also thinking of initiating a user interface thread (when the start Doc View button is clicked) and that thread, instead of showing its own window, calls ShellExecute(...) or calls the DLL for Doc View. Would it be correct?
Can you kindly provide a solution. Also, (if possible), a line by e-mail (rajeswarit@rediffmail.com) about your posting of article and/or your views would be my fortune.
With many thanks,
Yours sincerely,
Rajeswari

I have the storage opened in my appln using StgOpenStorage using the flags STGM_READWRITE|STGM_TRANSACTED|STGM_SHARE_DENY_WRITE. Now is it possible to thread the writing activity to various streams in the same appln using the same handle?
I wud say this shud b possible considering file s/m within document, but since the root storage is opened with flags mentioned it may not be possible? pls advise.

Can you be more specific? What does "to thread the writing activity to various streams" mean? Are you asking if you can write to the storage using multiple threads?

yes my application has already the pointer to main storage using mentioned flags. now can i spawn threads each to write to to the child storages?
|

As ususal with COM, if you attempt this you'll have to marshal the interface pointers to the worker threads. Whether this will work as expected depends on the threading model of the storage object (which I'm not sure of).

sorry im not sure if i have got what you have explained. i have a thread wrapper class through which I intend to pass the necessary info to the thread, am i close to ur lookout?
could you provide me a small code sample to elaborate?

In general, it is illegal to pass COM interface pointers from one thread to another directly; they must be marshaled to the other thread. This is not a limitation but a feature however. For example say you have a COM object that is not thread safe and can only safely be called from one thread. In this case passing one of its interface pointers directly to another thread would be disastrous. If you marshal the interface pointer to the other thread COM sets up a proxy in the other thread and a stub in the object’s thread and things will seem to just work. In reality the calls to proxy send information to the stub which calls the real object so all calls to the object still come from it’s own thread and all the details of the inter-thread communication are hidden. The situation if the same inter-process. In short I think you need to look up marshaling.

How can i name the untitled SDI application?
|
|
|
|
|
AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd->SetWindowText
|
|
|
|
|
AfxGetMainWindow ( from memory, could be AfxGetMainWnd() ) would do the same thing, but I can't imagine why someone 1 voted you for that....

yes AfxGetMainWindowi wanted to wrote it but do you know why after four minutes i cant use from codeproject.
I imagine if you write it you get 5 vote

You can use this function in your form class(for example if you have CFormView class) now is your problem solve

Hi Everybody,
I have been doing an application which displays the files and folders in a tree control similar to the left view of the windows explorer .How can we rename and delete the existing folders in the system directory from the application itself.
Thanks in advance,
Radhika.

Use rename() / _wrename()

To delete the file you can use
RemoveDirectory() or SHFileOperation()
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.
