How could I put the PC into sleep mode from my application? Is there an API for this power management stuff.

SetSystemPowerState might be what you're looking for.

Hello,
Does MFC provide us with a check list control.
If not, how can I do it?
I need to build multi columns list with a check box at the left.
Thanks,
With Best Regards,

if u mean the Kist box related stuff
just change the list control in to the Report view and set the extended style Like
yourcontrol.SetExtendedStyle(yourcontrol.GetExtendedStyle()|LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES );

Yes , you can! Internally there are two buffers, one for reading and one for writing.

Hi everybody,
I'm using a function taken from a DLL.
It can be a lengthy wait for it to finish so I want to create a stop button to stop the function if the function begins to take too long. As the function is in the dll, I don't know how to stop the function.
Could anyone help me in teaching me how to do this? Thanks!

You can load and excecute that function in a seperate thread
and when u want to stop just terminate that thread...
i think that work perfect..!!

Thanks for your reply. Not disputing what you said but I have some questions....
If I used worker thread, for example the following code:
//ThreadProc is the procedure used by worker thread
int ThreadProc()
{
// event declarations and def
event[0] = ::CreateEvent(NULL, TRUE, FALSE, NULL) // Stop/abort
event[1] = ::CreateEvent(NULL, TRUE, FALSE, NULL) // Run
DWORD status;
while(TRUE)
{
status = WaitForMultipleObjects(2, event, FALSE, infinite);
switch(status)
{
case WAIT_OBJECT_0: // Abort
CloseHandle(ThreadId);
return result;
case WAIT_OBJECT_0+1:
result = RunFunction();
break;
}
}
return result;
}
In this case, wouldn't it still wait for RunFunction to finish before processing the Abort Event?
If I create an UI thread using message queue, I do something similar using GetMessage say.
int ThreadProc()
{
DWORD status;
while(TRUE)
{
status = GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0);
// Check that the message is valid...code ignored here. Assume it's ok
switch(msg.message)
{
case abort: // Abort
CloseHandle(ThreadId);
return result;
case run:
result = RunFunction();
break;
}
}
return result;
}
Would I still have the same problem? In this case, RunFunction will have to be completed before the next message will be processed.
Kind regards,
wilche

I want to create two threads. One thread should write to the CLidt object and the other thread should read from the CList object.And i want to use Mutex as the synchronization object, so that only one thread can access the CList object at a time.
Pls. help
Rsh

Actually a critical section is a better sync object for your purposes, and easier to use. Each thread calls EnterCriticalSection() before accessing the list, then LeaveCriticalSection() once it's done with the list.

Just out of interest, why is critical section better in this case? Wouldn't mutex serve the same purpose?
Regards,
wilche

A critical section is more lightweight than a mutex. A mutex differs from a critical section in it can be accessed across process boundaries and you can specify a timeout when waiting on it. Neither of these are needed in his situation so might as well use a critical section.
|
|
|
|
|
The technical reason is that a critical section doesn't require a switch to kernel mode unless a second thread is trying to lock it when another already has the lock. A mutex will always cause a kernel mode switch.

Hi,
What is the best method for deleting all files and
folders from a floppy (programatically)
Sameer
|
|
|
|
|
You can use SHFileOperation.
Use FO_DELETE and make pFrom "A:\*.*"
That should delete the files in the root directory as well as recursively delete all directories and sub-directories.

That depends on your view of "best", but I think the following might work:
system("del /q/s a:\\*");
Maybe you need to expand the environment variable ComSpec (case is unimportant) and prepend it to the command.

Hello,
Do any one know that how can I convert directX .x file format to 3ds file format? Or where can I find the tools to do it. Microsoft only provide .3ds format to .x, but I need some tools which can work in the opposite way! Thanks!

Hi.
I have question questions that are related: focus and always-on-top.
Focus: I have a modal dialog box with an edit box. When the program first initialized the dialog box, I would like the the edit box to be in focus. Okay, there is no problem. The solution is to set the edit box to focus on InitDialog(). I am having a problem setting the edit box focus if the program is no longer in focus and then regains focus. I overloaded OnSetFocus in the dialog box and called SetFocus() for the edit box, but that does not work. For some reason, OnSetFocus() never gets called even if the program loses focus and then focuses again. What do I have to overload to catch the program regaining focus so I can focus the edit box?
My second question is about always-on-top. I would like to add a feature to have the program always be on top. Is there a flag I need to add in main frame?
Thanks,
Kuphryn

Part two -> SetWindowPos has a first parameter that allows you to make a window topmost.

Okay. I added the following to the dialog box's InitDialog().
-----
SetWindowPos(&wndTopMost, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
-----
However, the program crashes/stalls before it draws the dialog box. I tried using a check box that will enable/disable the function above. The program reacted the same way. I believe the problem has something to do with the fact that SetWindowPos() can only be called in main.

Wait. Okay. Everything works. I lost my thought for a few minutes and was thinking about the dialog box instead of the window. I really wanted the window to be on top, which is exactly what Christian showed me.
Thanks,
Kuphryn
