Hi,

There's a class call CWinThread (for more information look on msdn).
-> MFC is a good lib only for Graphic User Interface, for the rest to not use it...

Perso i prefere use the win32 version :

// H.
HANDLE m_hThread;
DWORD m_dwThreadId;
static DWORD WINAPI ThreadProc( LPVOID pParam );
inline bool ThreadFuntion ();

// CPP.

xxxxxxx:xxxxxxxx () :
hThread ( NULL )
, m_dwThreadId ( 0 )
{
}

xxxxxx::OnClick ()
{
hThread = CreateThread(
NULL, // default security attributes
0, // use default stack size
ThreadProc, // thread function
this, // argument to thread function
0, // use default creation flags
&dwThreadId ); // returns the thread identifier

....
}

bool xxxxxx::ThreadFuntion ()
{

}

// Static function.
DWORD xxxxxx::ThreadProc ( LPVOID pParam )
{
xxxxxx * pThis = reinterpret_cast<xxxxxx *="">( pParam );

if ( !pThis )
{
return -1;
}

// Call non static function.
if ( !pThis -> ThreadFuntion ())
{
return -1;
}

return 0;
}

Use CriticalSection (InitializeCriticalSection)to secure data Access.
Use Event (CreateEvent) with WaitForMultipleObjects or WaitForSingleObject for synchonysation.
Thinks to release handle ( THread, critical section, event...) when your finised.
Take care to thread and application ending condition.
Do not call GUI object (button, list, edit...) from the thread.

Bye...

i get the following error in the wincore if createthread is used,whast should be done???

ASSERT((p = pMap->LookupPermanent(m_hWnd)) != NULL ||
			(p = pMap->LookupTemporary(m_hWnd)) != NULL);
		}
		ASSERT((CWnd*)p == this);   // must be us

// Note: if either of the above asserts fire and you are
// writing a multithreaded application, it is likely that
// you have passed a C++ object from one thread to another
// and have used that object in a way that was not intended.
// (only simple inline wrapper functions should be used)
//
// In general, CWnd objects should be passed by HWND from
// one thread to another. The receiving thread can wrap
// the HWND with a CWnd object by using CWnd::FromHandle.
//
// It is dangerous to pass C++ objects from one thread to
// another, unless the objects are designed to be used in
// such a manner.

With MFC Application (exe) it's better to set it to "Multi-threaded Debug Dll", i known that it's not logique because it's an exe and not a dll but it's like that...

OnTImer in CListCtrl [modified]

Hi,

I have display the system timings in ListCtrl using OnTimer().
But when the scrollbar appearing in ListCtrl then the ListCtrl is getting shaked or vibrating liek that.
Whats the reason? My Ontimer coding is

CListCtrl *pCtrl = (CListCtrl*)GetDlgItem(IDC_REPLAYLIST);
char ListBoxStr[50];
CString now;
CTime time;
static int j=1;
int index = 0;

pCtrl->DeleteAllItems();
for(int i=0;i<=nosize;i++)>
{
sprintf(ListBoxStr,"%d",i+1);
pCtrl->InsertItem(i,(CString)ListBoxStr);
sprintf(ListBoxStr,"%s",rptime[i]);
pCtrl->SetItemText(i,1,(CString)ListBoxStr);
}

Initially nosize is zero.And then it incesed in thread function up to 100.

You mean flicker in listCtrl while updating bulk amount of data? if thats the problem, then call LockWindowUpdate() before starting updating and after updating call UnlockWindowUpdate() to avoide the flicker. Refer here for more details - http://weseetips.com/2008/04/19/how-to-update-bulk-amount-of-data-to-gui-controls-without-flicker/[^]

Or your problem is something different?

Check the OnTimer() for unwanted InvalidateRect() or function like that which generates WM_PAINT message. That can be the reason for your dialog flicker.

Capture control

I write a program to capture window controls. I used global mouse hook to catch mouse message.
I want that when I move my mouse to a control, there's a rectangle around that control. I got the handle of the control, drew the rectangle but my problem is when I move to another control, the previous rectangle hasn't disappeared yet. I tried RedrawWindow() like this but there was no effect :

CDC *hScrDC;
hScrDC = CDC::FromHandle ( ::GetDCEx(NULL, NULL, 0));
//Tmp is the CDC * of the control
Tmp->RedrawWindow(NULL, NULL, RDW_ERASE | RDW_INVALIDATE | RDW_FRAME | RDW_ALLCHILDREN);
RECT rect;
Tmp->GetWindowRect(&rect);
   int nX = rect.left;     
   int nY = rect.top;     
   int nX2 = rect.right;     
   int nY2 = rect.bottom;    
hScrDC->Rectangle(nX, nY, nX2, nY2);

Some one plz help me Rose | [Rose]

If you draw the border around the button, you draw on his parent so try to made an InvalidateRect on his parent, thinks to increst the rect from the border width and use ClientToScreen ScreenToClient to adjust position of rect on parent.

Try combining these two flags RDW_ERASENOW, RDW_UPDATENOW along with above ones.

Welcome!

FYI

Reason for above behavior...

From MSDN: The system sends this message when there are no other messages in the application's message queue.

So we here just forced a paint by adding those flags! Another way to do this will be to first call Invalidate() and then call UpdateWindow() which is similar to what we did!

Hi all,

I just want to know is that is possible.

I have a int variable.

int temp = 12;

I want to pass temp as a wstring to another method, whose take a wstring as parameters.

Can you give me a clue. I've search on the web but no luck. Smile | :)

I appreciate your help all the time...

The second parameter that the function accepts is a wchar array, not a wstring. It is totally different: a wstring is a specific class, and a wchar is a basic type (unsigned short). If you want it to work, you first have to create a wchar array, then pass it to the function and then store it in your string (it has an = operator to do that).

Anyway, this method is more a C approach than a C++ approach. If you use a wstring, I suggest that you also use a wstringstream, but that's just a matter of opinion Smile | :)

You have to check if this works or not (didn't try it myself):

std::wstringstream streamVal;
streamVal << temp;
std::wstring strVal = streamVal.str();

Don't forget to #include <sstream>.
