When i open the database at start up it's like interupt
And yes i need all data in the table.

If there's lots of data there and you need it all, then you just have to wait for it. One option you could use, which I used in a similar situation, is to use a worker thread to get the data, and distract the user with something while it happens ( I used a login screen, which was appropriate for my app, and while you logged in, it was already reading the data. The other option is a progress bar, but that would slow down things more, because you'd have to do lots of queries instead of just one, so you could increment it.

Yes, I'm agree with you about using Thread.
How can i use thread to open the database ?
Do i have to check database is open or not in the thread ?

I forget the API calls I used, but I opened the database and populated my table in another thread.

I have a 2d graph that I render to the clipboard for copy/paste, but I have a seperate legend that is a listctrl. My question is: How do I render text to the clipboard over the image I already have there? Or is there a way to redirect the print function (which does render the text) to a "Clipboard DC" rather than the printer DC? Any info will help. Thx!

Well... I'm kinda getting a pre-rendered metafile. Here's the code:
CPicture mypic = pGraph->ControlImage();
::OpenClipboard(NULL);
::EmptyClipboard();
HGLOBAL hGlobal = ::GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVEABLE | GMEM_ZEROINIT, sizeof(METAFILEPICT));
LPMETAFILEPICT pPict = reinterpret_cast<LPMETAFILEPICT>(::GlobalLock(hGlobal));
pPict->hMF = ::CopyMetaFile(reinterpret_cast<HMETAFILE>(mypic.Handle), NULL); pPict->mm = MM_ANISOTROPIC;
pPict->xExt = 22862;
pPict->yExt = 5078;
::GlobalUnlock(hGlobal);
if ( ::SetClipboardData(CF_METAFILEPICT, hGlobal) == NULL )
{
AfxMessageBox( "Unable to set Clipboard data" );
CloseClipboard();
}
if ( !::CloseClipboard () )
{
AfxMessageBox( "Unable to close Clipboard" );
}

Sorry, but I have to say I do not know the best method to do this.
But this is what i can think of.
Create a CMetaFileDC.
Call PlayMetaFile on this dc.
Write all the stuff from the legend using GDI functions.
Save Metafile to a disk file
Reload the metafile to clipboard.
There may be a better way to get the metafile data to clipboard from the DC though. This is all I could come up with instantly

I hope someone can figure this one out for me!
I have a simple function that takes 400 double values and graphs them in the client area. I run this about 25 times per second to give 25 FPS. This works fine however it uses up all the memory in my computer after about ten minutes!!! In the "Windows Task Manager" the mem usage just keeps increasing until my computer crashes. I'm sure it is this function that is causing the problem because when I leave it out this doesn't happen.
Any ideas?
void function3 (HWND hwnd, double a[], int iLength)
{
HDC hdc;
PAINTSTRUCT ps;
int i;
hdc = GetDC(hwnd);
Rectangle(hdc, 0, 0, 400, 256);
MoveToEx(hdc, 0, 256, NULL);
for (i=1; i< 400; i = i++)
{
int p = (int)a[i];
LineTo(hdc, i, 255-p);
}
EndPaint (hwnd, &ps) ;
}
Thanks in advance,
Paddy

You have to call ReleaseDC() if you've called GetDC()

How often do you call this fcn? the double a[] with no bounds checking seems kinda shady... If I can recall, every time you call this fcn, you will make a copy of a[]. I would get the for loop out of this fcn, and pass a as a const reference. Also, why even use a double if you're casting to int  And also, where do you set the size of a[]? I'm not a guru, but the whole thing looks a little shady.

I'm calling this function about 25 times per second, I know the code is a bit of a mess but I'm just worried about the increasing memory problem. I have included ReleaseDC(hwnd, hdc); now and it has made a significant difference but I'm still losing a bit of memory! I can't actually get rid of the for loop because I'm using this to draw lines between each point on the graph.
Thanks for the help.

Try:
void function3 (HWND hwnd, <code>double& a[400]</code>, int iLength)
{
HDC hdc;
PAINTSTRUCT ps;
int i <code>= 0</code>;
hdc = GetDC(hwnd);
Rectangle(hdc, 0, 0, 400, 256);
MoveToEx(hdc, 0, 256, NULL);
for (i=1; i< 400; <code>i++</code>) <code>
{
<code>
<code>LineTo(hdc, i, (255 - static_cast<int>(a[i]));</code>
}
EndPaint (hwnd, &ps) ;
}
It may not solve all the memory issues, but may speed you up some and maybe ease it a little.

Thanks I have it fixed now, there was another part in my app where I was creating a colored pen over and over again using
hPen = CreatePen(PS_SOLID, 1, RGB(0, 0, 255));
and not deleting it when I was finished. Just stuck in
DeleteObject(hPen);
and it's all sorted now!
Thanks for the help,

Hi All,
A brief about the prob I am facing. We have a dialog being displayed (has got property pages)... In one particular property page.. we have 2 radio buttons... (other controls not in question)... we display a dialog whenever the user tries to change the selection of the radio control. Say from "radio1" to "radio2"... It's basically a simple Yes/No question messagebox. If the the user selects "yes" the user is allowed to select the other radio button, otherwise not.
"radio1" is selected by default. User changes to radio2. after selection... dialog appears (asking for confirmation). If the user says "yes" then we continue as it is, otherwise we progra-matically restore the first radio controls state (selected=true) by setting m_nFirstRadio=1. this is the variable controlling the state of these two controls.
We are hadling the OnRadioButton() message handler for both of these controls.
Till now it works perfectly.
but when we change the property page to some other at runtime.. I don't know why.. but the message handler for the radioButton is being called (about 18 times). In effect displaying the conformation dialog about 18 times...
Any idea why this is happening??? I am not calling the OnRadioButton message handler manually. One more thing.. this happens only when the user selects "no".. thus we had to restore the state programatically.
Is there any rule as to when to use the radio button's member variable to change the state...
Regards,
Mohit

Your are already sitting on the answer.
Your change the state of the other radio buttons manually, therefore you generate
OnRadioButton messages.
As a workaround You could set a flag when You are changing the state of the buttons manually
and check for this flag in the OnRadioButton handler.
Yours,
Alois Kraus

Hi Alois,
But the message shoudl be generated only once if at all. Since I click on the radio button only once, and then say "no" in the confirmation dialog. So the state is restored. Below is the code in the handlers "Locked" and "UnLocked" both are radio buttons. m_nRadLocked controls the state.
Why the handler is being called 18 times.. and that too when I am changing to a different property page using the tab control.
Somebody told me that this is a BUG with VC++/MFC. And happens when we use AfxMessageBox/and radio buttons. But I really don't think so. So thats why I had mailed the forum.
property page looks somewhat like this:
/----------------------------------------\
| |
| O Locked O Unlocked |
| |
| some other controls ------ |
\----------------------------------------/
void CSDT12ConfigDCCPage::OnRadUnlocked()
{
UpdateData();
// If Board Admin State locked,
// We shoul not allow to change Admin State of Port to Unclocked state
if(((CSDT12ParentDialog*)m_pParent)->GetAdminState() == 1)
{
m_nRadLocked = 0;
UpdateData(FALSE);
}
}
void CSDT12ConfigDCCPage::OnRadLocked()
{
UpdateData();
/* this condition is to avoid the handler to be called un-neccesarily */
/* if this condition is not present.. dialog is called 18 times while */
/* changing property page to another */
if (m_nRadLocked == 0) /* Check if this msg handler is really being called*/
{
if (AfxMessageBox(IDS_SDT12_BOARD_LOCKED_WARNING,
MB_YESNO | MB_DEFBUTTON2 |MB_ICONQUESTION) == IDNO)
{
m_nRadLocked = 1;
UpdateData(FALSE);
}
}
}

Mohit

HI
I have some buttons that I am linking to ShellExecutes, but in this program the parameters to some of the ShellExec are an unknown filename. Also, some of the files to Exec are unknown filenames.
I know the directory and extension of the files I want to exec, but the actual names of the files changes.
Also, there will only be max of one file of each extension to Exec.
If the file does not exist, I want the button to be greyed out.
Does anyone have any insight in how to go about any of this, or what functions to look at? Is there an "anything" character, or is FileFind someplace I should be looking?
Thanks!

just use ShellExecutes and "open" to "execute" file,windows can lookup register and find proper program to open it
use :
BOOL PathFileExists(
LPCTSTR pszPath
);
to test the does the fileexisted
I am seeking...
For what?
Why did you ask me for what? I don't know!
