This will not give the current directory. This will give the full path of the executable which is not same as the current directory

He did not ask for the current directory, he wanted to know where his application starts (runs), and that is what I answered to.

this is how i do it:
char curdir[_MAX_PATH];
if( _getcwd( curdir, _MAX_PATH ) == NULL )
{ AfxMessageBox("Unable to determine the current working directory");
bInitSuccessful = FALSE; }
m_strWorkingPath = (CString)curdir + "\\";
is GetModuleFileName() a better method?
i notice it returns the full path and executable..

GetModuleFileName can be used to retrieve the path of the running application, whereas _getcwd (and GetCurrentDirectory) can be used to retrieve the current directory.
The current working directory need _not_ be the same as the location of the running application.

Once you have the path of the running application, you can use _splitpath() and related functions.
|
|

|

wow, a function like this does exist there. What I did is:
TCHAR szBuff[_MAX_PATH];
::GetModuleFileName(AfxGetInstanceHandle(), szBuff, _MAX_PATH);
char ch = '\\';
char * pdest = strrchr(szBuff, ch);
to extract the application name from its full path.

|

or, you could use _splitpath.

oh, yeah, I think I'd better use it since it is more robust.

Can anyone tell me what enumeration capabilities are? I often see classes with Enum in them...

Many classes added in addition to revious classes. Also new language named C# is availabe too.This language completely based on .NET framework.

I think in most case yes but not all of them.

Why should it be impossible to compile some VC++6 projects in VC++.NET??
noo... thats not true... but if you compile VC++.NET projects in VC++6 you can get problems because there is some difference between MFC7 and that MFC that VC++6 has (MFC4 or what it is)!

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,
Rula Ghabbiesh.

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
