Re: How I will write a macro to check............................

7-Sep-09 2:55

Because macros can have unforeseen consequences - consider this:

#define DELETE(ptr) delete ptr; ptr = NULL;

if (myPtr->DeleteMe()) DELETE(myPtr);

That's translated by the pre-processor to

if (myPtr->DeleteMe()) delete myPtr; myPtr = NULL;;

So myPtr will be set to NULL even if it shouldn't be deleted...

There are ways around that, but I'd rather write this:

template<class _Ty>
inline void Delete(_Ty*& ptr)
{
   delete ptr;
   ptr = 0;
}

because it's not messing around with the program text - it doesn't rely on pre-processor magic.

As far as I know, Braille is for blind people. So, replacing the text with images won't solve anything.
Anyway, your question is really vague because we don't know anything of your project: are you using MFC ? Where do you want to display those figures ? Directly on the dialog, in a specific control, ... ?

Are you wanting to paint bitmaps onto the screen or will the program create the image dynamically? If the former then just use the BitMap functions to load and display each image on the screen as required. If the latter then there will be some more code required to calculate where to paint your dots. In either case there are many tutorials on CP about displaying/creating images to the screen.

Terminating Process [modified]

Hello all..

I'm making an application which terminate other processes in different way, i.e using TerminateProcess, WM_CLOSE, WM_QUIT, SC_CLOSE.

Now i'm able to terminate process in all the way, But i need bit explanation in WM_CLOSE, WM_QUIT and SC_CLOSE.. How exactly it closes other process?? I believe there are two conditions which need to be fulfilled.
1> The target process has at least one window.
2> The target process doesn't handle the WM_CLOSE, WM_QUIT, SC_CLOSE message.

So i'm doing this to enumerates all top level windows, In LPARAM i'm passing the pid of the target process..

EnumWindows((WNDENUMPROC)Enum_Terminate_Process, (LPARAM) aiPID[i]);

And in Enum_Terminate_Process, I'm doing something like this..

BOOL CALLBACK Enum_Terminate_Process(HWND hWnd, LPARAM lParam)
{
	DWORD dwID;

	GetWindowThreadProcessId(hWnd, &dwID);
	
	if(dwID == (DWORD)lParam)
	{
                char Title[MAX_PATH];

		Title[0] = 0;
		GetWindowText(hWnd, Title, sizeof(Title));

		if(IsWindowEnabled(hWnd) && Title[0]!= 0 && Proc_Argument[0]!= 0)
		{
                        if(strcmp(Proc_Argument , "-wmc") == 0)
				SendMessage(hWnd, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0 );
			else if(strcmp(Proc_Argument , "-wmq") == 0)
				PostMessage(hWnd, WM_QUIT, 0, 0);
			else if(strcmp(Proc_Argument, "-scl") == 0)
				PostMessage(hWnd, WM_SYSCOMMAND,SC_CLOSE,0);
			else
				MessageBox(NULL,"Invalid Arguments", "Error", MB_OK);				
		}
	}

	return TRUE;
}

So i need to know whether i'm doing right?

Thanks All..

The above looks fine, so yes you are doing it right. However, it is up to the receiving process to decide how it handles these messages, so you need to check that those processes will terminate correctly on receipt of whichever message they are sent.

Hi all,

i m using SDI application,

i m using worker thread for loading records in ListControl.

here i m using a modeless dialog box ,i create and display the modeless dialog before Starting the thread and hide it at end of thread.

I m start thread at OnInitialUpdate function of Formview.

my problem is that when modelss dialog box hide now the main window lost the focus.

i m use SetFocus function but its not working.

// m_pmodeless modeless dialog box
void CFormView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
	CMainFrame *pMainFrame=(CMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd();
	if(Main_View->m_pmodeless)
	{
		m_pmodeless->SetForegroundWindow();
		m_pmodeless->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
		pMainFrame->EnableWindow(0);
		m_pmodeless->EnableWindow(0);
	}
	else
	{
		m_pmodeless = new CModeless_dlg
		m_pmodeless->Create(CModeless_dlg::IDD,0);
		m_pmodeless->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
		pMainFrame->EnableWindow(0);
		m_pmodeless->EnableWindow(0);
	}
	//------------------------Start thread---------------------------------------//
	AfxBeginThread(Initial_Thread,NULL,THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST,0,0,NULL);
}

//and at end of thread
	m_pmodeless->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
	CMainFrame *pMainFrame=(CMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd();
	pMainFrame->EnableWindow(1);
	pMainFrame->SetFocus();

please tell me how can i setfocus on main window of sdi.

thanks in advance.

That's probably a bad idea to start with - you should only access windows from a UI thread, unless you're posting messages to the window from hte non-UI thread.

And that's also the basic reason why the SetFocus in the thread function isn't effective - as the documentation[^] says:

The window must be attached to the calling thread's message queue

Try posting a custom message to the main window at the end of the thread, indicating that the thread is finished. The main frame can handle that by dismissing the progress dialog and retrieving the focus.

Which is the right way to do and why?

TCHAR *gClassName = 0;

bool CreateCabinetMainWindow(const TCHAR* classname)
{
DeleteCabinetMainWindow( );

gClassName = (TCHAR*)classname;
}

OR

const TCHAR *gClassName = 0;

bool CreateCabinetMainWindow(const TCHAR* classname)
{
DeleteCabinetMainWindow( );

gClassName = classname;
}

Thanks in advance,
Nandu

Second one. If you're declaring gClassName as mutable, then assigning an immutable string pointer to it is a bad idea. If you try to write to gClassName, then you could easily get an access violation if you'd called CreateCabinetMainWindow like this:

if (CreateCabinetMainWindow(_T("MyClass"))) { .... };

I have an EXE file and i want to list all the strings from the String Table of the EXE
The exe is the compiled CPP file like the one present in the Debug folder
How do i display all the strings that are present??

Stuart Dootson6-Sep-09 21:50

6-Sep-09 21:50

If it's just the string table you're after, load the exe into Visual Studio - you can view its resources there.

Otherwise, a nice utility called strings[^] will show you all the strings embedded in an executable.

Actually we have to write our code which will take an EXE as input and display all the strings present in that EXE.

What are the ways to do that?

Stuart Dootson6-Sep-09 23:07

6-Sep-09 23:07

If it's string tables in the resources, then EnumResourceNames[^] can tell you all the string tables present in a module, FindResource[^] can get you handles for those resources, which you can then access using LoadResource[^] and LockResource[^].
