If the dialog is destroyed, then it needs to be created again.
If you leave the dialog created you could just hide it and show it again
when it's needed.

Either way you need to manage the lifetime of both the CDialog object
and the HWND object it contains.

Hi,
I've the follow problem: how I can program the execution of a method when updated input for the method are avaible?
In other word the mine is a problem of synchronization,I need of a listener (or similar) that is asking for new data coming from two different method and only when the data are avaible It's lounched the method that computes them.
I'm programming in VC++ 6.0 and I don't know how I can do it. Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

Dany.

It looks like a multithreading issue but you give few details.
How do you retrieve your data? Where do data come from (are you using sockets, serial port,...)?

Sorry I'll try to be more clear.
I've two camera;
for each camera there is an object (listener1, listener2 ) of a Listener class;
Every time a new frame is grabbed from two camera I invoke a method of listener class to do image processing on the frame.
With the image processing I obtain a pixel value1 from camera1 and a pixel value2 from camera2.
Only when a new value1 and a new value2 are avaible I want combine the two values in a new method.
So I need to a listener (or similar, I don't know) that is waiting for new value1 and new value2 and when they are avaible it causes the execution of a method in which value1 and value2 are combined.

I hope I've been clear now.
Thank you very much!

Dany.

Walk through the process.
You have two cameras.
You want to capture an image.
An image is the merger of the picture from each camera.

For this to work when one camera takes a picture, the other must take a
picture at the same time or be told to do so. A picture is taken when
each camera has transmitted the picture to the application.

So you need to be able to tell:
1. that a camera has taken a picture.
2. a camera to take a picture now.
3. detect when a camera
a. has transmitted the picture to the application
b. has a picture ready transmit.
Combining the pictures is the last step.

If, on the other hand, the cameras are taking pictures automatically,
then you have a synchronization issue. That is far more detailed than
the question you have posed.

A simple line like the following

myListCtrl.InsertItem(0,_T("foo"));

Should do the magic. See also this documentation page for a complete example http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8b9s12fc(VS.80).aspx[^].

What was your code and what was the exception occurred?

Why are you not starting with 0?

tina- wrote:
m_users.InsertItem(0,_T("foo"));

BTW try to start insertion from column 0, as suggested by Jörgen Sigvardsson.

My bet is that because you inserted a new column at 1, an empty zero width column was created at column 0. The inserted item is there, but it's in the 0th column, which you can't see. Try inserting columns from index 0 instead! Smile | :)

on compilation & execution, still nothing on List !
Let me give you some more details, I might have done something wrong there...
I have used VC++ Wizard to create my project (i m new to vc++)
Then I added List control to a Dialog box
Then changed its properties to ->Report
Then created a m_users variable
Then I have inserted 4 columns to it
Everything works fine till here...
Now I try to add some data to it, & nothing happens on the list !
plz friends, guide me in this....

Were you cheating about the effective overload of the InsertItem method called?
Suspicious | :suss:

Anyway:

Some suggestions:
(1) Change

tina- wrote:
m_users.InsertColumn(0,"a",LVCFMT_CENTER,150,0);
m_users.InsertColumn(1,"b",LVCFMT_CENTER,50,0);
m_users.InsertColumn(2,"c",LVCFMT_CENTER,150,0);
m_users.InsertColumn(3,"d",LVCFMT_CENTER,150,0);

m_users.InsertColumn(0,"a",LVCFMT_CENTER,150,0);
m_users.InsertColumn(1,"b",LVCFMT_CENTER,50,1);
m_users.InsertColumn(2,"c",LVCFMT_CENTER,150,2);
m_users.InsertColumn(3,"d",LVCFMT_CENTER,150,3);

(2) Change

tina- wrote:
lvi.iItem = 1;

lvi.iItem = 0;

(3) Add, before calling InsertItem method

lvi.cchTextMax = _tcslen(_T("Hi"));

Try to further populate the List, for instance, add

BOOL fSuccess;
INT nItem;
fSuccess = m_users.SetItemText(0,1,_T("foo1");
fSuccess = m_users.SetItemText(0,2,_T("foo2");
fSuccess = m_users.SetItemText(0,3,_T("foo3");
nItem = m_users.InsertItem( 1, _T("boo"));
fSuccess = m_users.SetItemText(1,1,_T("boo1");
fSuccess = m_users.SetItemText(1,2,_T("boo2");
fSuccess = m_users.SetItemText(1,3,_T("boo3");

Checking always, with the debugger, the return values.

My resources are near to end...
