How do I know? The source code is in a Visual studio solution. Does that mean it's C++/CLI?

Could anybody be kind enough to tell me how to set the width
and height of a window? at start up and during execution of
a program.
And also, maximizing the width, height
and setting the posistion, please
Thanks V Much

Look at SetWindowPos, is that what you want?

GDI+ MeasureString and MeasureCharacterRanges work nice with small strings. An occasional page fault and some additional memory usage but nothing to be alarmed about.
When I push the limits by using large strings and the above two functions numerous times to perform various measurements, I get my fair share of page faults and a reasonable increase in memory usage. Nothing that I wouldn't expect while increasing the demands on the GDI+ library.
However, once I go back to being reasonable and only working with small strings again, the excessive amount of page faults continue to occur. It's like GDI+ can't get itself back together once the memory requirements are reduced.
I've tried "GdiPlusShutdown" and "GdiPlusStartup" just to see if that would get GDI+ to reset itself but the excessive page faulting continues after that. (I didn't expect this to work or be a reasonable solution anyway but it was worth trying to gain more information on the problem)
Has anyone noticed this excessive page faulting (sometimes I can get it up into the 1,000's per refresh cycle) that continues after GDI+ workloads are reduced to simple single character measurements again? Does anyone know how to get GDI+ page faults back down again?

Very interesting, can you post a snippit that causes a page fault?
Thanks,

Unfortunately I can't. Too much code in three different classes.
It's a windowless GDI+ edit control that draws on the parent windows client area. It is mainly when I set the GDI+ edit control to multiline and it takes up the metric equivalent of an 8 1/2 x 11 inch piece of paper using the equivalent of a 10 point font size and filling it completely up. The calculations for text selection and custom soft breaking utilize MeasureString and MeasureCharacterRanges in various places. Regions are used to derive the text selection rects.
Most of my usage of the two functions resembles the samples in MSDN.

Unfortunatelly, this is an inherent problem with GDI+. Do a search for "GDI+ page faults" and you'll see it all over the internet.
The problem seems to be that GDI+ bitmaps use memory mapped files.

Thanks. I had been using MSN for my search engine and I wasn't getting too much. You reminded me that I hadn't used google in a while. I got a few more links there.
I like Bob Powell but in one of the links his comment is, 'To cure the "problem" buy more RAM'. One of my machines has 4GB and nothing else is running except the services so I'm guessing that isn't the problem.
I would agree with some comments that they're probably "soft" page faults mostly but there are enough (or an occasional hard fault gets mixed in there) that it definitely slows my calculations down once the excessive page faults kick in.
I changed the code to "chunk" the calculations which has made it less common to pass the threshold that triggers the massive faulting but I haven't been successful at completely eliminating it and my code is now something not even a mother would be proud of. :: Hack, Hack, Hack ::

I want to connect to a HUB_SWITCH who has some computers,and recive TCP packets.But i want use only RX wires(recive packets without have any TX wire).Can i do this and implement it in C++ (DOS OS)?

You cannot implement IPv4-TCP without both TX/RX pairs. If you are designing a system to meet military or industrial standards where the regulations state "Device Communication should be read-only" then I would suggest serial RS-232 with the TX wires physically cut.
Btw this should probably have been posted in the Hardware forum[^].

Hi
i have requirement like doing 10 steps to complete task
After completion of one only i can enter into another
I used nested if- else to do that like
if (true)
{
if (true)
{
if (true)
{
return true;
}
else
{
}
}
else
{
}
}
else
{
}
is there any better way to handle these type of situation
Thanks in Advance

How about:
if (expression1 &&
expression2 &&
expression3 &&
expression4 &&
...) ...
else
or an uglier aproach:
try {
if (!expression1) throw 1;
if (!expression2) throw 2;
if (!expression3) throw 3;
...
} catch (int where)
{
}

The argument is "are guard clauses in methods okay?" And how do you handle resource cleanup if one of the guard clauses fail? I haven't seen a convincing consensus either way.
A specific example: Let's say you have 10 resources to allocate (like opening files, networks, etc) -- for brevity here, let's just use four resources. All resources have to be allocated for the method to continue.
So what we are trying to avoid is something like this (yuck):
isMethodSuccessful = false;
resource1 = OpenMyFile(myFile);
if (resource1 == SUCCESS)
{
resource2 = OpenSomeNetworkConnection(networkID)
if (resource2 == OKAY)
{
resource3 = CreateNewFile(outputFile);
if (resource3 == SUCCESS)
{
resource4 = ConnectToSomething(mySomething);
if (resource4)
{
isMethodSuccessful = true;
}
else
{
DeleteFile(resource3);
CloseNetwork(resource2);
CloseFile(resource1);
}
}
else
{
CloseNetwork(resource2);
CloseFile(resource1);
}
}
else
{
CloseFile(resource1);
}
return (isMethodSuccessful);
}
Guard clauses will convert that mess into something like this:
resource1 = OpenMyFile(myFile);
if (resource1 != SUCCESS)
{
return failure;
}
resource2 = OpenSomeNetworkConnection(networkID)
if (resource2 != OKAY)
{
CloseFile(resource1);
return failure;
}
resource3 = CreateNewFile(outputFile);
if (resource3 != SUCCESS)
{
CloseNetwork(resource2);
CloseFile(resource1);
return failure;
}
resource4 = ConnectToSomething(mySomething);
if (!resource4)
{
DeleteFile(resource3);
CloseNetwork(resource2);
CloseFile(resource1);
return failure;
}
return (success);
...which is far from ideal (i.e. more yuck). So what's the best code logic in this situation?

For instance, the C language goto statement allows to handle well the above scenario.

Actually, your "yuck" example is much better than the "more yack" one. The former is just yacky, and the later is dangerous (think introducing changes to the function and remembering to copy/paste all the resource cleanup).
The only robust and non-yacky way to handle this situation is use of The RAII programming idiom[^]
In this case, the destructors will make sure that all your resources are freed at the end of the scope - even if you throw an exception.

Usually this can be handled (as already suggested) with try-catch blocks or (using plain C) with the (in)famous goto.
You may also schedule a set of operation to be invoked inside a loop (for instance with an array of function pointers) and use break to interrupt the iteration whenever needed (i.e. on any operation failure).

Yes, like:
if (ret)
ret = foo1();
if (ret)
ret = foo2();
if (ret)
ret = foo3();
if (ret)
ret = foo4();If any of the function calls fail, none of the remaining ones will execute.

Tons of COM examples and winsock examples use this approach in methods which would normally result in deep nested branch statements...
void CSomeClass::SomeMethod(void)
{
if (FALSE) { return; }
// got here 1
if (FALSE) { return; }
// got here 2
if (FALSE) { return; }
// got here 3
// ...
}

if (true)
{
if (true)
{
if (true)
{
return true;
}
else
{
}
}
else
{
}
}
else
{
}
Do you need to do something in each else block?
if yes than follow the same, else you can use
if((condition1)&&(condition2)&&(condition3))
return true;
else
return false;

Hi
in my application i am using extern to make application's theApp to access by other
is there any problem if use extern
Thanks in advance

I doubt there're any problems using extern for that but you could also use AfxGetApp(), i think that is the preferred method.
