put a breakpoint on the last "}" on your main function.

or do put a getch() at the end before it returns a value or before the last line.
void main(void)
{
// blah blah do everything here.
getch(); // will wait for a keypress until it does anything else
}

Hi,
I am debugging a MT application and by this time I am pretty sure that there can only be syncrinization problems.
I use the same CStringList objects in many of my worker threads in the following manner:
In my CWinApp derived class header
CCriticalSection m_CriticalSectionForList1;
CCriticalSection m_CriticalSectionForList2;
In my worker threads:
theApp.m_CriticalSectionForList1.Lock();
...
...
theApp.m_CriticalSectionForList1.Unlock();
.
.
.
theApp.m_CriticalSectionForList2.Lock();
...
...
theApp.m_CriticalSectionForList2.Unlock();
Do I really correctly use critical sections?
Thanks
R.

Looks ok to me. Are you also using the critical section in the main app thread?
What is the problem you are seeing?

The reason that I placed the CriticalSection variables in the App class is that -just like the CStringList's- I have to access them in different classes, therefore the App seemed to be the most obvious place. The CStringList are "produced" by the worker thread, and displayed by the UI. That's why I need CriticalSections in order to avoid mutual access.
The error I experience is something really weird: a function returns one value and some time later another value without having manipulated it's input, etc.
Another thougth: should the CStringList's be declared volatile if I use them both in my user interface class (for simplicity lat's say: CDialog, where they are declared) and my worker threads?
Thanks for your help.

No you misunderstood me. I wasn't talking about where the critical section is defined. I meant that you need to lock it in the app thread, as well as the worker threads. If you aren't doing that, then this could well be the cause of your problem.

A function that accesses the CStringList?

I don't think this is relevant to the problem at hand.

Bingo. Thanks very much for your help.

Anyone knows how to communicate with paraller port (lpt1) in visual C++ without MFC?
Help please..

Look up CreateFile() and WriteFile() in the Win32 API section of the MSDN.

Under Win95, Win98 you can directly write the hex-value to the port (with assembler):
...
void outportb(unsigned int portid, unsigned char value)
{
__asm
{
mov edx, portid
mov al, value
out dx, al
}
}
...
outportb(0x378, 20);
...
Under NT-Systems, like Win2000, WinNT and XP you are not allowed to write directly to the ports.
It this case just use a port-driver like "UserPort" (just take a look on http://www.mattjustice.com/parport/par_nt.html).

Hello!,
I am a little stuck with this piece of code, can anyone help me please?
Actually I don’t know how to implement the assignment operator and the overloaded operator. Can you give me some tips and ideas please. As it is apparent, I have just started with C++ programming.
//file myString.h
#include
class myString
{
private:
char* theString;
int length;
public:
myString();
myString(char*);
~myString();
myString(const myString&);
myString(const char*);
//the assignment operator
myString& operator=(const myString&);
myString& operator=(const char*);
int getLength();
const char* GetString();
// == operator overloaded for string comparison
friend int operator==(const myString&, const myString&);
friend int operator==(const myString&, const char*);
};
Thanks

I am not sure what you mean by the overload operator?
As far as the assignment operator, this is what you need to do:
1: check for a reference to the current object. There is no sense in reassigning of you are doing something like this:
Object A;
A = A;
Here is the code you use to do that check:
myString &operator=(const myString& rhs)
{
if (*this == rhs)
{
return *this;
}
...
}
2: delete all of your existing memory, to prevent memory leaks.
delete[] theString;
theString = NULL;
3: allocate and copy the data from the input parameters.
if (rhs.theString)
{
length = strlen(rhs.theString) + 1;
theString = new char[length];
strcpy(theString, rhs.theString);
}
4: Returns a reference to this object to make things like this possible:
Object A, B, C;
...
A = B= C;
Here is the code to do this:
return *this;

Hi
Thanks for the reply, i think you are the only person who was able to reply to my problem. I am actually working on string manipulation and i have been provided the myString.h file. Thanks a lot,

I think that a lot of people skipped over your post because they perceived it as your homework assignment. Many students come here and post questions that basically ask someone from CP to do their assignment for them. Just be sure to ask for help in a way that lets people know you are trying to learn and are willing to the work yourself except that you are stuck.
Good Luck

It's just that the operator and assignment operator part that kept me stuck, of course i was trying. thanks for the help.

Sorry for my English , it is not my own language.
I write a program which draw and move a triangels. When i move i must a redraw area. I use double buffering. I use MDI.
When i moving, after a several time colours are disappears. If i want draw
something i write:
CBrush *brush = new CBrush(m_cColour);
CPen *lpPen = new CPen(PS_SOLID,2,(m_bSelected)?RGB(150,100,50):RGB(0,0,0));
pDC->SelectObject(lpPen);
//Draw
delete brush;
delete lpPen;
May be i must free somethings(resourece) another way.
Please Help.

when you select an object into a DC, you must de-select it before you destroy the DC or the object. you do this by selecting the default object back into the DC:
CBrush brush;
brush.CreateSolidBrush(...);
CBrush *pOldBrush = dc.SelectObject(&brush);
...
dc.SelectObject(pOldBrush);

Hello!
Mr. Dunn is correct. Alternatively, you could use the following code to get a standard CString that contains a new GUID:
GUID l_GUID;
::CoCreateGuid(&l_GUID);
OLECHAR szGUID[40];
::StringFromGUID2(l_GUID, szGUID, 39);
CString sGUID = szGUID;
Hope that helps!
Sincerely,
Alexander Wiseman

I made a MFC extension DLL and it works fine. However, I have one exported class there that is built from another class. THus in the include it has included the header to that other class. However, I do not want to export that "other" class. So far I just exported it so that the program will work. Is there a way around it so that I don't have to export this "other" class?
THanks.

You only have to export a class, function or variable if you want to import it (use it) in a separate dll or executable. The only way that you will be exporting your class is if you declare it with the __declspec(export) compiler option, or if you have added a def file entry for that class.
Otherwise you can include as many class and function definitions in the main header and they will not be accessible. So if that parameter is defined for your class and it should continue to work and not be exported (as long as it resides in the same DLL that it is trying to be used from).

if use CSocket to connect to a remote server through internet, is an ip address in text format, i.e. sss33-23.jfgh.com.au the same as the one in number format, i.e. 2222.22.22.22?
thx

No. Use the gethostbyname() function to convert a name address (abc.def.com) to its IP address (12.34.56.78).
