Well, now my source code works fine by declaring ThreadFunc as global !
Cup, can you show me how declare ThreadFunc as static function ?

In *.h
static UINT ThreadFunc(LPVOID lParam);
In *.cpp
UINT MyClass::ThreadFunc(LPVOID lParam)<br />
{<br />
}

I need to create project in VSI that
automatically installs MFC DLLs and my
application.
How must I set the following properties
for the MFC DLLs (MFC42D.DLL, MFCD42D.DLL,
MFCO42D.DLL, MSVCTRD.DLL)??
- Condition
- DoNotIninstall
- Folder
- Hidden
- ReadOnly
- Register
- SharedLegacyFile
- System
- Transitive
- Vital
Thank you very much.

You shouldn't be doing this. Those are all debug DLLs and according to the VC++ license, they are not redistributable.
You should only ship release build binaries, and you probably don't need to ship the MFC DLLs for those, since the first three you name are all rolled into MFC42.DLL, which is present on a lot of machines anyway, unless you have a big Win95 market.
The MSVCRT.DLL is also there, otherwise a lot of MS apps would break.

So, if I have well understood, I do not
need to install any DLL.
The only ones needed are MFC42.DLL and
MSVCRTD.DLL that are installed in all machines
with the OS.
Do you think that my installer must try
to install them in order to avoid problems ?
Or also them are not redistributable ?
If I can (or must) try to install them, which
properties have I to set ?
The problem is that my application is very
critical and there must be none problem for
its installation.

In that case, why not build them with minimal dependencies, by specifying that you want to link statically to MFC and the CRT library?

That could be a solution. Anyway we have to distribute other files
as, in example, MsFlexGrid.ocx. We have think to dinamically
link DLLs also to minimize the amount of load memory if more than
one application is launched in the same time. So we'd prefer to follow
this way if it is possible.
Anyway,we have not considered license problems so we would like to
examine it.
What do you think about ?
Where can we find some docs ?
Any other problems ??

First of all MFC42.DLL, ..., is not part of the operating system. You cannot assume the DLLs are installed. And you cannot assume the right MFC42.DLL version is installed (which is 4.21 for VC++5.0, and 6.0 for VC++6.0).
MSVCRTD.DLL is a debug build, something you don't distribute. I guess you are talking about MSVCRT.DLL.
To know the DLLs that you need to distribute, you can use "dependency walker" (Visual studio tool directory). Beware that's a static listing, it does not show dynamically loaded DLLs.
MS requires you to build a .msi package (or your program will not install on Windows XP depending on user profile). This package references Merge Modules (*.msm files), and there is a merge module for the MFC run-time DLLs provided with the VS.NET cd. See redist.txt file in the cd.
I guess you can download the merge module from the MS site too. (don't know the url).

I have found mfc42.dll and msvcrt.dll in the
REDIST.TXT file among "REDISTRIBUTABLE CODE - Extended Use"
files.
So, can I assume that I can deliver them without problems ??
I have also found mfc42.msm and msvcrt.msm in the following position:
"C:\Programmi\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools\VSInst\BuildRes"
can I use them ??
And how ??
As you can see, I not skilled and I need Help !!!
Thanks a lot.

You are using VC++ 6.0, right ?
VC.NET has better .msi support, but with VC++ 6.0 you must rely on InstallShield 7 to build your setup.
Of course, if you are distributing a shareware, you may just play on the low side and distribute a simple zip file with both your .exes and .dlls and the MFC dlls in the SAME directory (you can test for yourself, it works).
If you are working on a real world software project, then I guess the company you work for must pay a lot of attention to the Deployment part.
You have plenty of documents to read on MSDN : download the Windows Installer SDK from the MS site...

Yup, VS.NET does have better MSI support, which is to say "some".
However, it's possible to use Visual Studio Installer (downloadable from MS' site) as well, for VC++ 6.0.
I hadn't intended to imply that MFC42.DLL was part of the OS, although I have yet to see a machine that doesn't have MSVCRT.DLL on it (so I'll probably find one later today!), but the most important bit you mentioned was "pay a lot of attention to the Deployment".

I implement a trick in font building. in font creator, i create several chars which is of 0 advance width, which mean when it write in front of a char(for example 'O'), it may have decorative effect (for example 'ó'). This will stop a combination explosion by make new char to add dot on ABCDEFG... Only a front decorative and a normal char is ok.
in WORD, it works very well. But i find a bug in richedit(i am not sure where it is really a bug). in richedit control (or wordpad in every windows system with richedit control as a core), the is still a little advance gap on a zero width char. because of this, i can't match the decorator and the base char. i wonder whether a setting to stop the automation advance?
I have some examples font and docs, if you wanna a test please contact me. My mail is novalet@yahoo.com.cn

I want to find the difference betweeen system time and file last modified time.so iam using these APIs but these functions are not working on win98. i want to know wheather these api will work in win98
FILETIME FileUTCTime;
SYSTEMTIME SysLocalTime,SysUTCTime,FiSyLocalTime;
FileTimeToLocalFileTime(&fadSrc.ftLastWriteTime,&FileUTCTime);
FileTimeToSystemTime(&FileUTCTime,&FiSyLocalTime);
GetSystemTime(&SysUTCTime);
SystemTimeToTzSpecificLocalTime(NULL,&SysUTCTime,&SysLocalTime);
|
|
|
|
|
The only function that will not work that you have listed is:
SystemTimeToTzSpecificLocalTime
This function is simply not supported under any of the win9x operating systems.

does anyone here know how to set the compiler optimization mode to "default" for a single file? i'd prefer to do it with a pragma.
VC6
-c
As always, it's bread and circuses. And while bread is down right now, circuses are way up.

i found it - and i found yet another bug in MS's "Minimize Size" optimization setting.
in this case, i was throwing an exception derived from std::exception (on purpose). but, it was crashing in the _CxxThrowException code (the stuff between the "throw" and the "catch".
it worked fine in debug. it worked fine in debug with BoundsChecker. it worked fine in release mode, if built with debug info, but crashed in plain release mode. turning off optimizations in the module with the *catch* fixed the problem.
yuck!

Hi,
In a dialog based application, i have a menu and a toolbar.
It is easy for making the toolbar button for each single menu
item. But i'm lost in trying to make a toolbar button for a menu
item which has a number of sub menu items.
How to do this?
Thanks in advance!
