DrPizza of GameDev brought up a solution I missed yesterday. The solution is to encapsulate a function in a struct that is a class member. That will allow you go not have to declare a global function.
The only thing I am uncertain of is if you have a private member struct, will the global worker thread function i.e. the function you pass to __BeginThread() recognize the abstract private member.

Hi.
How do you pass data and/or pointer to data in a parent process, both primary and/or child threads, to the primary thread (default) of a child process?
Jeffrey Richter demonstrates the use of CreateProcess(), but he does not discuss a way to pass in data.
Thanks,
Kuphryn

You need to use an IPC mechanism like NamedPipes, sockets or - the most easy one, shared memory.

Okay. Thanks.
Which method of passing data across processes performs best?

Don't pass pointers across process boundaries.
Each process has its own addresses for stuff.
Create a shared memory space and use offsets
into that as your sharable "pointers."
(You can try to map the memory to the same address
in each process, but that isn't guaranteed to
be successful.)

Okay. Thanks.
I re-read Jeffrey Ritchter's section on file-mapping. I believe using a file-mapping virtual memory is an effective, if not, the best way to share data across processes.

Hold an appropriate CFont object somewhere (for instance, as a member variable of the parent dialog) and set it as the one used for your static with CWnd::SetFont. As you only need to "boldize" the current font and leave all other aspects unchanged, you can construct it from what your static already has (see CFont::CreateFontIndirect, CWnd::GetFont and CFont::GetLogFont), changing only LOGFONT::lfWeight.

That is a *great* title. 'Bold, the text of static box'. It's almost poetic.

You could use the Crystal Report API engine, however it's just about reached the end of it's lifetime and I can tell you with a great degree of experience with all things Crystal and C++ that you really, really, really *do* want to use the ActiveX RDC (Report Design Component)
The crystal reports developers help file CrystalDevHelp.chm that is installed with Crystal Reports contains the full reference for using the API in the section titled "The Crystal Report Engine Class Library Reference".
We've used the API for many years but we're switching all our development to the ActiveX for many reasons: It's the only method they fully support, it's the only method they want people to use because their dropping the API by the looks of it quite soon, the ActiveX RDC has increasingly (after each release) more functionality than any other method.
Whenever they add a new function they only seem to be adding it to the ActiveX from now on.
But most importantly, it's far, far easier to use the ActiveX and there is no more overhead than any other method.

Hello Mr. Cardinal,
Thanks for reply !
But i have to use CR API engine ...
Because my BOSS told me that i don't register any ActiveX in the user computers
So, i have to use API engine ... right ?
If i use CR API engine then i don't need to register any ActiveX or DLL ??

even if you use the API, you still have to deploy a whole lot of DLLs into the user's "Program Files\Shared Files\..." directory and "%windir%\system32" directory...

Hello Hadi, even if you use the api you *still* need to install many .dll files as well as register some of them on the end users computer. There is no avoiding that. The API method just allows you to easily call functions in Crystal Report's .dll files, it doesn't wrap that functionality inside your program so that you don't need to include anything else. There is no way to do that.
Either way you have to register *something* on the end user's computer and both the API method and the RDC (activex) method are royalty free so you're in the same situation whichever way you go except for the very important facts that the ActiveX has more functionality, is easier to use for the programmer and will continue to be supported in future by Crystal Decisions.
I'm my own boss so I do what's best always! <grin>
However,it sounds like your going to have to explain the situation to your boss.
Specifically the information you should look at before you speak with the boss is look at the Crystal Reports developer's help file that I mentioned previously under the sections regarding deployment which will list for you each file that you have to include with your application for both the API method and the ActiveX method.
Good luck

You can turn off border and set "Static edge" extended style to achieve a semiflat look, or you need to use owner draw control.

Does Visual C++ support the statvfs object? If not, is there an object that is used to retrieve information about a partition (total size, size used, ect)?

Hi! I am develop a little application for a pocket pc with embedded Visual C++ 3.0... I tried to use the vector class of the stl, but I found out that there is no stl for embedded Visual C++, so I looked for a MFC class... but there are so many classes (CArray, CTypedPtrArray,...)...
Can anyone tell me what kind of mfc class I could use instead of the stl vector class?!?!? I need an array who stores pointer to a class (like "class CMeasureItem*")...
-- Sorry for my bad english!!!
Nice greets, Daniel.

There's at least a couple of STL ports for eVC. Check them out at
