Here you're creating a uninitialized handle array, and then setting only the first member. The rest handles will contain junk values.

WaitForMultipleObjects( 3, Array_Of_Thread_Handles, TRUE, INFINITE);
And here you are waiting for all handles include junk handle values which will finally result in error.

You've just created a single thread.

Hi Jijo,
Thanks for the reply
so I have changed it to:
HANDLE Array_Of_Thread_Handles[3];
Handle_Of_Thread_1 = CreateThread( NULL, 0, Thread_no_1, ((void*)prd), 0, NULL);
if ( Handle_Of_Thread_1 == NULL) ExitProcess(Data_Of_Thread_1);
Array_Of_Thread_Handles[0] = Handle_Of_Thread_1;
WaitForMultipleObjects( 1, Array_Of_Thread_Handles, TRUE, INFINITE);
Are you saying it will just finish downloading of that update even if its on a thread and will not go downloading the other updates?
thanks,
Jayjay

What other updates? You've only called CreateThread() once.

Here is the deal
if (isUpdateTime())
{
RMproduct* MPoint = new RMproduct(L"ManagePoint",ManagepointService, ManagepointVersion);
if (isPrdInstalled(MPoint))
{
GetVersion(MPoint);
MPoint->m_SiteCode = m_CSiteCode.GetMPSiteCode(MPoint->m_SerialNo.c_str());
dloadAvailable = DoCheckForProductUpdates(MPoint);
if(dloadAvailable)
{
GetUpdate(MPoint);
}
}
delete MPoint;
RMproduct* MPoint2 = new RMproduct(L"ManagePoint",ManagepointService, ManagepointVersion);
if (isPrdInstalled(MPoint2))
{
GetVersion(MPoint2);
MPoint2->m_SiteCode = m_CSiteCode.GetMPSiteCode(MPoint2->m_SerialNo.c_str());
dloadAvailable = DoCheckForProductUpdates(MPoint2);
if(dloadAvailable)
{
GetUpdate(MPoint)2;
}
}
delete MPoint;
RMproduct* MPoint3 = new RMproduct(L"ManagePoint",ManagepointService, ManagepointVersion);
if (isPrdInstalled(MPoint))
{
GetVersion(MPoint3);
MPoint3->m_SiteCode = m_CSiteCode.GetMPSiteCode(MPoint3->m_SerialNo.c_str());
dloadAvailable = DoCheckForProductUpdates(MPoint3);
if(dloadAvailable)
{
GetUpdate(MPoint3);
}
}
delete MPoint3;
}
<pre>
The GetUpdate function calls the function DownloadFile():
<pre>
bool CUpdateServiceModule::DownloadFile(RMUpdates* prd)
{
bool result = false;
int Data_Of_Thread_1 = 1;
HANDLE Handle_Of_Thread_1 = 0;
HANDLE Array_Of_Thread_Handles[1];
Handle_Of_Thread_1 = CreateThread( NULL, 0, Thread_no_1, ((void*)prd), 0, NULL);
if ( Handle_Of_Thread_1 == NULL) ExitProcess(Data_Of_Thread_1);
Array_Of_Thread_Handles[0] = Handle_Of_Thread_1;
WaitForMultipleObjects( 1, Array_Of_Thread_Handles, TRUE, INFINITE);
CloseHandle(Handle_Of_Thread_1);
Sleep( 100 );
return result;
}
Thing is MPoint2 and MPoint3 are not sure to exist if they dont the code will only download one update if they exist it may download 2 or 3 updates. But for sure one exists. How must I create a thread in this type of event?
Thanks,
Jayjay

Your code as show does nothing multi threaded.
The DownloadFile() method creates a thread, but since it
waits for the thread to complete, it is effectively a complicated
way to do work on ONE thread.
I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do.
Do you want a separate thread for each download and then
a way to wait for all the threads to complete before the
app proceeds?

Hi Mark,
I want a separate thread for each download and maybe wait for all of it to finish or let the app proceed while downloading whichever is ok with me.
Thanks,

Hi all,
in my application i want to read all the key and data values of some registry folder so i am using this RegEnumValue function but when i kept this function in for loop it is reading few values and failing in the middle..
can anybody suggest me the reason for this i attach the code i have used for this...
<br />
CString names[100],values[100];<br />
CString Accesspath;<br />
char szBufferReturn[MAX_VALUE_NAME];<br />
char szData[MAX_VALUE_NAME];
DWORD nDataSize = MAX_PATH;
DWORD dwType = 0;<br />
DWORD nBufferReturnSize = sizeof(szBufferReturn);<br />
long nReturnCode = 0;<br />
int i=0;<br />
Accesspath = "SOFTWARE\\XYZ\\ImageScanner\\checkfinal";<br />
<br />
HKEY hKey;<br />
for( i =0 ;i< 10; i++)<br />
{<br />
<br />
if( ERROR_SUCCESS == RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,Accesspath,0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS,&hKey))<br />
{<br />
if ((nReturnCode = RegEnumValue(hKey, i,<br />
szBufferReturn,<br />
&nBufferReturnSize,<br />
NULL,<br />
&dwType,<br />
(LPBYTE)szData, <br />
&nDataSize)) == ERROR_SUCCESS)<br />
{<br />
<br />
<br />
names[i]=szBufferReturn;<br />
MessageBox(names[i]);<br />
nBufferReturnSize = sizeof(szBufferReturn);<br />
<br />
if (dwType == REG_SZ)<br />
{<br />
values[i]=szData;<br />
<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
printf("Identifier contains a non-string'\n\n");<br />
MessageBox("failed");<br />
}<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
MessageBox("failed");<br />
}<br />
RegCloseKey(hKey);<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
MessageBox("not openeded");<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
}

Check the error code returned by the failing function. It can shed more light into the problem.
You can also check the last error code. Call GetLastError() or add @err,hr to watch window to get the last error.

Jijo.

Most likely the problem is that the call to RegEnumValue will change the value of nDataSize (that's an IN/OUT parameter).
You need to reset it before each call.
Hope that helps.

I want to have 2 different configurations that use two different versions. For example, Release configuration I want to be v6.0 and ReleaseOlder to be v4.6 Anyway to do this? I"m using VS2008
Thanks

Just put an #ifdef #endif block in your resource file.
e.g
----- Resource.h ---------
#ifndef resource_h
#define resource_h
#define use_manifest
#endif
----- Resource.rc --------
#include <windows.h>
#include "resource.h"
#ifdef use_manifest
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_DEFAULT
1 RT_MANIFEST ".\\manifest.xml"
#endif
This code would require that InitCommonControls was called somewhere and that the appropriate library was linked. You could use the use_manifest #define to conditionally include <commctrl.h> & call InitCommonControls.

You'll need to have a preprocessor constant that's unique to each config. For this example, imagine it's debug vs. release. Debug builds have _DEBUG defined, while release builds have NDEBUG.
Right-click on the VS_VERSION_INFO resource and pick Properties. On the Condition line, enter _DEBUG.
Then make a copy of that resource, and in its properties, enter NDEBUG on the Condition line. After you set that condition, you can change the ID back to VS_VERSION_INFO, and you're done.
(This is in 2005 but it should be similar if not the same in 2008)

Hi all,
I am writing an application that checks the correct functionality of a keyboard.
I am doing so by overriding the PreTranslateMessage(MSG *pMsg).
In my PreTranslateMessage i am catching all the WM_KEYDOWN and WM_SYSKEYDOWN messages and read from the wparam which key was pressed .
I have 2 problems:
1.
When pressing the start button (VK_LWIN), the start button is actually pressed and the start menu is opened. The menu is being opened even if i put a break point in the beginning of my PreTranslateMessage. I just want to know when the start button was pressed and i dont want it to open the start menu. 
2.
It seems that the print screen button doesn't generate any of the 2 messages that i process in the PreTranslateMessage. what is the window message that is generated when i press the print screen key? 
Thanks
Simon

Have you tried using SetWindowsHookEx() with the WH_KEYBOARD or WH_KEYBOARD_LL hook procedure? Look at the docs here.

Those two buttons, and a couple of others are special. They're not forwarded to your application at all, instead Windows processes these key combinations internally. It's like Ctrl+Alt+Del

Is there a way to catch those key strokes before Windows processes them?
|
|
|

Yes, by using SetWindowsHookEx() withWH_KEYBOARD or WH_KEYBOARD_LL, as Perspx said.

Can anyone help me, or at least point me to some good sites that will help with reading and writing binary files on the fly without using an array?

Binary files and arrays have nothing to do with the other.

Ok then, well that only answered part of my question. How do i read and write a binary file, what are some keywords i should be looking up?
|
|
|
|

you can use fopen, fread, fwrite, and finally fclose. google for those functions.

That all depends on what you are using to open/create the file. Some possibilities include:
fopen()
CreateFile()
CFile
ofstream Each of these has their own way of opening/creating a binary file.
