My main app has the splashscreen classes in it, but the earlier versions dont. They arent working either...

Don't panic. I feel kinda guilty since it was me who directed you to the code 
Have you supressed the m_pMainWnd setting in InitInstance? That could be the cause. If this is not the problem, try erasing any trace of DiLascia's code from your project (.cpps, .hs), delete the Debug and Release dirs and rebuild. Hope this works. Tell me back what happened.

Sorry> I didnt mean to make you feel bad - you didnt know! Besides the sample is working fine! Even if I comment out all his stuff, it crashes> What is weirder is that I have 20 old versions saved as I go along. These arent working either. So something has happened to the environment, not the code> I installed my app on a different machine(2 actually) - it works fine there. My registry looks okay too ....
A coworker is right now in the process of transferring her data onto a new pc she just got, so I''ll use her old machine till my new 2.8 gig comes in( not ordered yet). Its just very puzzling though. In the meantime I am learning about HTML help workshop, and an independent sample app that will merge databases,so I am not totally crippled....this stuff will keep me busy till I can inherit her old pc.
THis makes me so scared to try new things off the web....and yet it didnt install anything...just ran code(which did something that my app doesnt like).
Appreciate your help,

Though one certainly has to be picky about about what to execute from the net, MSJ's code archive is not a hacker-candidate site 
I don't have a compiler right now, but I'll try to take a look at this next Monday. In the meantime, I'm almost sure nothing critical has been broken. If you have spare time, try recreating the project from scratch and then transferring the code (and only your code).

Thanks. Thats very kind of you to offer to look at it. I have a good machine at home, so I'll be able to work on it there. Then on Tuesday (we have the coming Monday off) I'll be back to deal with this. I agree that the MSJ site is not a hacker site. But thats all I've done this morning. Please dont feel responsible for this.....I really value your suggestions and help.

Hi Joaquin,
Heres the promised update! Paul D. and I exchanged maybe a half dozen emails and he couldnt think of what had gone wrong. I was configuring another machine etc this morning and just as a last ditch effort, killed the registry entries my project makes, though it looked perfectly uncorrupted. To my unexpected delight, that resolved the problem! I rebuilt the keys and all is well (until I crash again - just a matter of time! ) Anyways I did not expect that would be the resolution. I am so relieved as you might guess! So thanks for the moral support> I even have to nerve to re-undertake the splash screen effort again, though not with P D's class...
Thanks again and I hope that you will still in the future point me to useful resources. I value your responses tremendously!
Sincerely,
ns

Hi
I issued this problem recenty but now I know a bit more about its nature.
I'm trying to store some data in MsOffice files and the problem is that MsWord 2000/XP removes my data after I save document from the Word (I tried also MsWord 97,MsExcel 97/2000/XP and here my data remains untouched). Now some explanation how I store my data in doc file:
1. Using StgOpenStorage I open office file as a compound file
2. I create new storage with IStorage::CreateStorage
3. Within newly created storage I create new stream using IStorage::CreateStream
4. I store my data within newly created stream using IStream::Write
5. I release all opened streams and storages
I discovered that when in doc file Word adds stream 0Table (1Table is probably always present) my data doesn't dissapear (I don't know why). I don't know how to prevent Word from deleting my data but I suppose that forcing Word to add 0Table stream could solve my problem (but how can I do this). I would appreciate any hints.

Hi
Currently I've generate a DLL who construct a Log file (CMyLogFile => global) depend on the application which uses this DLL.
But the problem comes when several applications in the same directory use this DLL. I must create a different file name for each application, if not the other application does not open (because currently he use the same file name)...
How to generate differents log files name from a DLL using by several application locate in the same directory?
Thanks in advance...

When your DLL is invoked by a process, it receives an HINSTANCE (in DllMain). Your default implementation of DllMain probably stores this somewhere.
Anyway, you could use this to modify your filename for uniqueness.
Alternatively, see API GetTempFileName()

But HINSTANCE is unique and thus is the same for several process who use the DLL...

No because the HINSTANCE identify the DLL and not the process.
This handle represent the virtual address of the begining of the dll.
I want to know which process call the DLL in the entry point of the dll.

The HINSTANCE value of each app (in Win32) is the same, 0x40000000 or something, so that wouldn't help. You could get the processID or even the thread ID and that should be nearer to what you want.

Use GetTempFileName. This will allow you to specify the path and an extension for your file, and it will guarentee that it gives you a unique file name.

GetModuleFileName(NULL) returns the path and name of the .EXE used to create the process. In your context this should be unique.

I'm loooking at various implementations. They all seem to run for an arbitrary time, then vanish. What if my program still isnt ready to show the UI? How do we make some sort of synchronization between the duration of the splas and the app startup time? Incidentally the app really varies in startup speed....
Appreciate your help,

don't let the splash screen kill itself. instead, have your main app thread send it a WM_OK_GO_AWAY_NOW message when loading is finished.
-c
Support regime change. Vote.

Okay. I'll go with that idea. Thank you

I've used in the past Paul DiLascia's CSplash class[^]. The trick to achieve sync with the appearance of your main dialog is to delay setting the m_pMainWnd member of the CWinApp object till your OnInitDialog is done.

Thats a terrific sample you linked me to. Only problem is his app is coming up minimized when the splash disappears. I'm not sure what line of code makes it minimized on startup. I want mine to show up, not minimized. Something in his code is telling it to minimize, and I need to figure out what it is...so that my app works the way I want it.
Appreciate your help,

I don't know... This is what I've put at the end of my OnInitDialog:
AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd=this;
SetForegroundWindow();
and it works OK.

Thanks. I dont know whats happened to my machine since I ran Lascias sample...its got a cmdline.cpp I'm suspecting. Anyways, even after rebooting, my app wont work. Crashes when its processing cmdline info. It works fine on other machines....ideas?
