Hi,
By default, when using Ctrl+Tab or the Window menu to switch between windows in a standard MDI app, it leaves the window list in its current order. The behaviour in Visual Studio (ignoring the popup which lists the windows) always puts the current window at the top of the list of windows. This then allows easy toggling between two top windows using Ctrl+Tab, as the previous window is then made the second in the list, so you don't have to cycle through all the open windows to get back to the one you started from.
I am trying to replicate the VS behaviour in an MFC MDI app, but can't find a way of re-ordering the window list. Has anyone else managed to do this?

I am not sure if you can change menu item positions, I have never tried to do it. If it is not supported perhaps you could manage the lists order in a more appropriate memory structure and just change the menu item text and which item it references in the structure.

Context is C++, Visual C6
My application has to interface with two types of peripherals, with the same services :
For exemple, the service is :
void SetOutput( index, level) and
So my application do :
void MyApplicationFunc()
{
classPeripheral *p = new classPeripheral();
p->SetOutput( 0, 1);
}
I want to code TWO DLL in C++, with the same class interface, but driving two diffrents kind of peripherals.
For exemple
class cPeripheral
{
public :
cPeripheral();
void SetOutput( int Index, bool Level);
};
But each implementation have differents internal functions and variables in order to drive the specific peripheral.
So I want to have a good quality of code (no cast or void pointer), a good dependency resolution between the differents .dsp, and the possibility to change one DLL (DLL peripheral 1) by the other (DLL peripheral 2) with a perfect consistancy of dynamic link between application and class services.
Can you give me a simple workspace sample, with the differents projects (.dsp) (Application, peripheral 1, peripheral 2), showing the architecture , definition and inter-dependencies between the differents classes.
Best regards.

Do I have to provide the spoon too?
More seriously, I do exactly what you're talking about - I have plugin DLLs which manage different motion control architectures through a common interface. I don't actually use COM for this, as I'm not that bothered about other people controlling my machines, but I do use their philosophy.
I have a pure virtual class, and the implementations inherit from this. So far, just like "interface" keyword.
I have a registry key with the name of the implementation DLL. I load that, and call a named function to export a pointer to a control object. That pointer is of the virtual base class type. All other parts of the software only know about that base class.
There are some good starter articles on COM on this site if you want further inspiration.
Good luck,
Iain.

Nice post but you didn't explain what the spoon is for. 
Oh, if it involves his hind parts I don't want to know.

HI! help, please, me.
MFC, Visual C++ STUDIO 2008
I want to place string into ComboBox that
Is on modeless dialog window.
I’m using two classes:
class CAdodc_my : public Cdialog
class CMyModeless2 : public Cdialog
CMyModeless2* m_pModeless;
CComboBox m_cComboBoxModeless;
BOOL CAdodc_my::OnInitDialog()
{
m_pModeless = new CMyModeless2( this);
m_pModeless->m_cComboBoxModeless.AddString("SPARTAC");
}
Debug Assertion Failed!
Program: ...Tested_Examples_Studio_2008\ADOMy_first\Debug\ADOMy_first.exe
File: f:\dd\vctools\vc7libs\ship\atlmfc\include\afxwin2.inl
Line: 879
For information on how your program can cause an assertion
failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts.

At the time you try to AddString, you have not yet created the dialog, so the ComboBox doesn't exist yet.
After you create the instance with new, you need to call Create to actually create the windows.
Hope that helps.

is m_cComboBoxModelessinitialized/created?
You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

Do this in CMyModeless2::OnInitDialog().

I think the link to that tox's article should be permanently added to the forum page.

Yep, it's a shame it is so under-rated...

Yes. I think the article for beginners are the most valuable here at CP.
Unfortunately, such articles are often downvoted by the 'very-smart-super-expert' people who enjoys themselves just with the 'most-advanced-innovative-stuff' (not to mention the 'trollistic-coward-univoter' CP plague).
I suppose there is also something personal against tox, since he is a bit 'touchy', no need to say that if you downvote an article beacuse you dislike the author then you're definitely a pathological idiot.
It's frustrating form me, having to say, each time: "Trust me, it scored bad, but is actually a very good article".

Copy Function .Plz help me

What do you mean by "pass myfunction in thread" ? Do you mean that you have to call your function from within the thread ? If yes, you need to make sure that your function prototype is the same as the one expected by the CreateThread function (see here[^]).

Here[^] is an excellent article about worker threads. A bit long but very interesting.
