perhaps 150, but for now 100 is what the first version of my server will have.

However, this assumes that the read operations are extremely short and can easily occur in a single time slice.)
But if don't make up a critical section when I read the object?
As Moak said in the message down here it is always safe to READ a global data in multiply threads. then it would be safe, wouldn't it?

You should seriously consider using I/O completion ports. It's perfect for what you're doing.

The MSDN documentation has a hopelessly incomplete description. The best discussion is in an out-of-print Jeffrey Richter book "Programming Server-Side Applications for Microsoft Windows 2000."
Perhaps, someone should ask Richter if CP can "reprint" the chapter.

Hej Rickard,
with a mutithreading socket concept this is a must have IMHO. Reading isn't critical, but changing or removing elements from a list: Another task could e.g. remove an element from the list (when a client signs off), which could invalid the iterator used by another thread. So, that's why you have to make exclusive access to your global network data, no matter if threads wants to read or write.

[ Returning to the doc-view architecture after 8 years, so excuse the lameness of this question! ]
I have an MDI app that's capable of displaying documents of type CFooDoc and CBarDoc. I've modified the file opening logic to restrict the number of open CFooDoc documents to 1.
What I want to do is automagically close all CBarDoc documents when the user closes the solitary CFooDoc document. I can do this by calling the CloseAllDocuments() on CBarDoc's doc template.
My question is, how do I detect that the CFooView is closing?
Thanks,

Never mind. I just overrode the parent frame's OnClose().

Hi Ravi,
Or in ~CFooView() or CFooView::PostNCDestroy() or ...

Hi Neville,
Actually the tack I took only handled the case when the user closed the view manually by clicking the "x" button. It didn't handle the ID_FILE_CLOSE case, so I used a custom command and handled document closure myself.

Hi,
how can i add a menu in a dialog based application??
|
|
|
|
|
Create a menu in the resource editor, then modify the dialog's "Menu" property (also in the resource editor) to point to that menu.

the first,you create a new menu whit ID_DLG_MENU
the second,see the dialog property.
select the ID_DLG_MENU int the Menu:

I have a dialog template. I create a CPropertyPage class on it, and add it to my property sheet.
On this dialog, I have a combo box as a drop list. My question is: the combo box content is added at run-time. Its string format is as follows:
%2d: %-35s %02d
The problem is: using the default font, the string part will have variable length. I tried to overwrite the OnSetFont() as:
if ( HFONT(myFont) )
{
pFont->DeleteObject();
pFont = &myFont;
}
CPropertyPage::OnSetFont(pFont);
I have tried to use different font, "Arial", "Courier", "System", "Times New Roman", but all of them gave me a big bold ugly font displayed on the dialog.  
what's the correct way to do it?
Thank you a lot!

I'm not sure I understand what the problem is...
Your string part will be variable width...? Whys that a bad thing...?
I suppose your gonna wanna use a fixed width font like Courier New (Courier should work also???)
What are you trying to acocmplish...? Just change the font..?
Do it inside InitDialog() with a call to the controls SetFont()

Hi
I want to store IPs in a linked list using CList, but don't know how to do that. Servers already in the list should not be stored in the list again. Currently I can't compile my project due to errors.
This is what I want to do:
CList<sockaddr_in, sockaddr_in&> SockList
for(int i=0; i<num_servers; i++)
{
if(SockList.Find(server) == NULL)
SockList.AddTail(server);
}
server is of type sockaddr_in*.
How can I achieve this?
thanks in advance

You cannot search a list of pointer using its default equality comparison.
I recommend an STL list or map and with a custom equality or equivalent search algorithm via a function object.

Is there no way to copy the values of a sock_addr* pointer into a normal sock_addr variable?
This way it would be possible, or am I wrong?

Consider memcpy(). I am not completely sure that will work for sock_addr.

But if he do something like this then:
sockaddr_in addr = *addrpointer;
I don't know if this is allowed!

I want to add a spin control in a combo box. When dropped down, the combo box shows the items in the combo. But, the up/down arrow keys should not change the items in the combo automatically, but send the notification of the spin control to the parent window.
Now, whether I set the combo box or the edit control in the combo box as the spinner buddy, I do not get up/down notification when the arrow keys are pressed in the combo box. Is there any way to prevent the default arrow key handling of the combo box?

I'm not sure I totally understand, but i'm thinking your gonna have to subclass the drop down list box and respond to WM_VSCROLL by forwarding it to the parent window and not letting default processing continue...
In my priority combobox control I subclass the listbox control, so you may wanna look at the code I borrowed from another author (whose name I can't remember). Anyways...it works and the code is straight forward...

The idea is that, there is a combo box that displays numbers, say 10, 20, 30.
Now, I want a spin control that has an inc/dec value of 1. So, if I press up arrow and the selected value was 10, it should become 11, 12 and so on...
But, if I click on the combo box drop down it should show only 10, 20 and 30.
Now, trying to implement this, I added a spin button control and made the combo box its buddy. But, the up/down arrow moves only between 10, 20 and 30, but using the mouse on the spin control, I can go to 11, 12 etc.
So, what I want to do is to prevent the combo box from handling up/down arrows - and allow the spin button control to get them.
I will look into the code that you mentioned.
Note:- I was secretly hoping for some combo box style, that would prevent it from handling arrow keys  . Not so lucky I guess.

Your gonna have to subclass...I see no other way of doing it...
