Hi.
I am making a program in Visual studio 6.0
and I am currently having trouble telling when a thread has ended.
Does anyone know how one can tell when a thread has ended?

One way is to use a CEvent and signal it when the thread function ends. You can then test this event wherever you need to know if the thread has finished.

Hi,
does anybody know, how to create CHtmlView which would be using system independant proxy settings ? I need to use another HTTP proxy in my application, but not change IE proxy settings for whole system.
Thanks

Does anyone know why the NM_RETURN message never works in list controls as it's supposed to?
I create a simple test app using the app wizard with a single form view, plopped on a list control. Then I use the class wizard to hook in the NM_RETURN message to a message handler and set a breakpoint there. Now running the app, clicking on the list control to make sure it has focus, and then hitting the enter key does not hit the breakpoint! 
Any ideas?
(I also tried NM_CLICK, but that work no problem)
Much thankx!

Is there a way to get the physical disk number from a logical drive letter?
For example, there are 3 hard disk drives:
IDE 0 Master - the first HDD, containing C:, D: and E: logical drives
IDE 1 Master - the second disk, containing F: and G:
IDE 0 Slave - the third disk, containing H:.
For example I want to determine the physical disk, on which drive F: is located. This should be the Master HDD on IDE 1.
Thanks!

GetDriveType() returns DRIVE_FIXED for all the the logic volumes in the system, because all of them belong to the fixed drives. It doesn't work for me

unsigned long b;
b = 0x987666;
a = b;
Hi! I am using VC6.0, and I notice sometimes the compiler give me the following warning message for the code above, "warning C4244: '=' : conversion from 'unsigned long' to 'unsigned short', possible loss of data",
sometimes(mostly when I added another project to workspace), it gives me nothing even I rebuild all files in the same project, and I can never recover the warning message after I lost it.
Can anybody tell me how to let compiler generate warning messages all the time?

The project that reports that warning has the "Warning level" set to 4, at other times you must have the "Warning level" set to lower value, the most common being 3.
Open the project goto the Project -> settings on the menu, select the C/C++ Tab, and use the "Warning level" combo-box to set it back to 4 again.

Thanks!
With the 'Warning level' set to 4, I got the 'type conversion' warning message back plus tons of other warnings.
But surprisingly, in my previous project, the warning level is 3, and I can get some of the 'type conversion' warnings as well, but much less than level 4.

I want to ask few questions regarding my server side application using Winsock API.
My server accepts new client using accept(). This function returns a new socket descriptor. This socket descriptor has input and output buffers.
1) Can anyone tell me that how much resources this new socket descriptor required. What is the size of its input and output buffer by default and how can we change the queue size of input and output buffer.
2) My server application will run on Win2K machine with 512 MB RAM and 1 Ghz processor. How many connections can i accept, if the work load is low. (Server only calculates factorial of a number and return to client)

Write a funtion to handle the WM_HOTKEY message. Then assign a system-wide hotkey to use for restoring your app from the system tray.

Hello!!
We can enable or disable Hibernate support by using the setting in the control panel-> Power options-> hibernate tab. when this check box is checked the system makes a file hiberfile.sys in the operating system root dir and reserves memory. if the check box is unchecked the system deletes the file. I want to do this programatically. I have used the function NtCallPowerInformation() using SystemReserveHiberFile, but this is not working. Can anyone tell me if it is working at their end and if I am missing something or there is some other method to do this.
Thanks in advance.

Hello!!
There is a setting in the control panel -> Power Options-> Power schemes tab, for setting Standby and Hibernate time. i.e. after what unit of time the system should go into stand-by state and similar combo box is also present for hibernate state.
I have tried to use the API GetCurrentPowerPolicies(). In this, a structure is filled for POWER_POLICY->MACHINE_POWER_POLICY. In that, according to MSDN, values for stand-by and hibernate should get filled , but it does not.
I am getting the time for disk spindown and video time out and also the Power Scheme, but I am not getting the standy-by and hibernate time.
Can anyone of you tell me how to obtain the standby and hibernate time.
Thanks in advance.
