what do you mean "own the UI control"? The thread begins on initialization of the window. And runs continuously with a sleep(10).
Anyways, I've already tooks Zac's advice and stored a variable. That's what I was going to do, but that involved changing a lot of code, so i was hoping there was another way to do it. It's probably the best way though.

UI controls (e.g., buttons, listboxes) are owned by a thread, usually the primary thread. Folks new to multi-threaded programming often make the mistake of having secondary threads communicate directly (e.g., SendMessage()) with those UI controls. Nasty things happen as a result.

When a control is created, it is created within the context of a thread (usually the main thread is the only one that deals with UI stuff -- with VERY rare exceptions).

As a side note, anytime you are calling Sleep, you really need to take a closer look at your design. You should almost never have to call that function. See below for a better solution.
acerunner316 wrote: Anyways, I've already tooks Zac's advice and stored a variable.
Make sure you wrap any reads/writes to that variable with Critical Sections (in both the UI and worker threads). Also, to eliminate the need for the thread to be constantly running (and calling Sleep, add an event that you will signal after changing the variable in the UI thread. In the worker thread, call WaitForSingleObject on that event.
If you decide to become a software engineer, you are signing up to have a 1/2" piece of silicon tell you exactly how stupid you really are for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week

If the item's in your list are unique, you could work around this using:
CString value;<br />
m_combo.GetWindowText( value );<br />
m_combo.FindStringExact(-1, value );
Or you could cache the selected index in a member variable in your SelChange handler.
I'd probably go with option 2.

The user haven't administrative rights.(Not an admin)
Is SetNamedSecurityInfo() usefull?
If(YES)
how?

for installing of service, user should have admin rights or you can use LogonUserEx to logon as admin and install the service

There are applications - like antivirus software for ex. - that can work like services. That apps. work under every account. Isn't it true? This is the kind of thing I want to do.

there is quite difference in working and creation of service... services can work in any account.. even when user is no logged i.. but it could be created with admin priviledge

and i want to show the 20x20 area of image and then 40x30 can anyone tell me how to extract the dimensioned bitmap..
like i try SetBitmapDimensions(int dwWidth , int dwHeight ) but its does not work.. im Attaching a HBITMAP to CBitmap and then using SetBitmapDimension like this:
///////////////////////////////////////
CBitmap bBmp;
bBmp.Attach(hBmp);
bBmp.SetBitmapDimension(20 , 40);
// A Picture Static Control
m_PicCtrl.SetBitmap(bBmp);
////////////////////////////////////////

Every once in a while, when I shut our app down, one or both extension DLL's don't appear to unload. Is there a tool available that unloads errant DLLs?

You mean the process is still running?

The process that loaded the DLLs is no longer running (according to task manager). However, when I go back to the compiler to make changes and recompile, I get linker errors saying it can't create the LIB for the DLL. The only way to get around that is to reboot.

I'd use this[^] tool to tell which process has the files locked. Once you know that it will be clearer how to proceed.

Then there must be another process that has it open then since yours is no longer running.

Hi there! I´m trying to code an expression evaluator that can be used as an XLL by Excel.
I used the code provided by an article on this site that explains how to make an XLL for interpolation. The whole solution compiles but when I try to add it using Tools->AddIns, a message ops up saying it is an invalid XLL. I think the problem is with my two functions here:
/*
** Expr_EvalX( expression )
**
** The Expr_Val function evaluates an arithmetic expression passed as an argument
** using infix notation, calculating it using Reverse Polish Notation.
** Arguments:
**
** LPXLOPER ... expression String to be evaluated as an expression.
**
** Returns:
**
** LPXLOPER Expr_Eval The result of the evaluated expression. Is equal to
** #VALUE! if result could not be determined (meaning there
** was some freaky error).
*/
__declspec(dllexport) LPXLOPER Expr_EvalX( LPSTR expression )
{
static XLOPER tempXLOper; // Return Data
tempXLOper.xltype = xltypeStr;
tempXLOper.val.str = expression;
return Expr_Eval( (LPXLOPER)&tempXLOper );
}
__declspec(dllexport) LPXLOPER Expr_Eval( LPXLOPER expression )
{
static XLOPER result;
XLOPER buff;
std::string str( (char*)(*expression).val.str );
double exprVal = 0;
int error = 0;
error = ExpressionEvaluator :: calculateDouble( str, exprVal);
buff.val.num = exprVal;
if ( xlretUncalced ==
Excel4( xlCoerce, (LPXLOPER)&result, 1, (LPXLOPER)&buff ) )
{
return 0;
}
// if the "error" variable was set above, something significant failed
// and we should return an error for all x targets
if ( error != 0 )
{
result.xltype = xltypeErr;
result.val.err = error;
return (LPXLOPER)&result;
}
return (LPXLOPER)&result;
}
They are the ones that should work as InterpX and Interp of that article´s XLL.
Could somebody help? Or point me to good articles on the subject.
Thanks!

what is thing "BOOL" in this code ?? how can a function return TRUE, FALSE or a node of type treenode at same time. If anyone can clear me this thing BOOL, FALSE, TRUE .. I'l b thankful ...

It's the type that's returned from the insert() method. It usually evaluates to 0 and 1.

But when i write this code in my compiler that is microsft visual C++ 6.0
it gives error of undeclared identifier ..
true=1, false=0
but this is in caps .. TRUE and FALSE also tht data type is bool not BOOL .. this caps thing gives eror and if replaced by smalls it gives eror for return types .. i simply cant understand this code ..
Sir, if u plz take out little time from ur precious time and try 2 explain a little more , I'l b vry thankful ..

the BOOL type is either TRUE or FALSE
and
the bool type is either true or false
|
|
|

Pimra wrote: true=1, false=0
true and false are already defined.
Pimra wrote: ...this caps thing gives eror...
Because TRUE and FALSE have not been defined.

1. Sounds like the conditional expression syntax is confusing you.
return tree ? TRUE : FALSE; is equivalent to
if (tree != NULL)
return TRUE;
else
return FALSE;
2. A long time ago, in a time now forgotten, the data type bool and it's associated constants of true and false had not been created.
Microsoft wanted a boolean type for use in their Windows code, so they created one and named it 'BOOL'. It was created using a typedef statement. BOOL has associated constants of TRUE and FALSE that are defined using the C-Preprocessor macro facility (in other words, #define). Much code was written using BOOL, TRUE and FALSE.
Some time later, the ANSI committee got around to adding bool to the language as a native type (that is exactly one byte in size). Alas, the Windows code base, which used BOOL, was now quite large. It was a bigger pain to change to use bool than not to change, so BOOL was kept. So we have the legacy in Windows C++ code of seeing both BOOL and bool used.
In order for BOOL to work, the proper headers must be included in the file. The definitions live in <WinDef.h> but if you just include <windows.h> ( or "stdafx.h" if you are using MFC ) before the template definition, the template code will have these values defined.

Be clear about the difference between your role as a programmer and as a tester. The tester in you must be suspicious, uncompromising, hostile, and compulsively obsessed with destroying, utterly destroying, the programmer's software.

Hi,
I have just a teenie weenie humble question. I am a student just learning C++. I have to develop a graphical project in C++ (VC++) and using win32 SDK.
Where can I download this SDK? Help?
I am working on a old machine, Windows 2000 Professional, low memory and with VC++ 6.0 version. I cannot upgrade to XP and hence to VC++ 2005 because my system will not allow it.
Thank you
Dan
