Good point, thanx.
Do you know any simple case of misusing the thread creation routines? The article doesn't provide one and would be very interesting to see what exactly is wrong with MFC when using _beginthreadex.

Problems arise when you allocate memory in the thread but free it outside and vice-versa.
As long as you dont use CRT memory allocation its pretty save (no new/delete, allocators, etc).
Somewhere in the VC Technotes (MSDN) is an article about this topic, I think.

Use a multimedia timer. It creates a timer on another thread and calls your callback function when the timer should be activated.
The WM_TIMER message has a low resolution and is not guarenteed to be processed. WM_TIMER messages have lower priority than WM_PAINT messages, and both of these messages are never entered into the message queue. These messages are generated by ::GetMessage() / ::PeekMessage() when and if the message queue gets emptied.
Therefore if you have a high volume of messages, you will have difficulty getting your WM_TIMER messages in a timely manner.
Good Luck

Why I'm asking this ?, I want to have an HTML view and map the commands to my application, like in:
Integrating DHTML into MFC Views
By Norm Almond
And I found this comment...
C# or the Winforms doesn't qualify for RICH desktop user interfaces, so I how no plans at the moment to port this over to .Net
Does it means that C# and .net is only situable for Data/Bussiness layers, and for the desktop layer... is just better to use MFC 7.0 ?
Thanks in advance, Greetings

Please don't crosspost, or post to irrelevant forums. This should be in the C# forum.
And I would not use C# for a desktop app at this stage.

Mr. Grauss ...
I think you should do the same, why did yous posted in the Visual C++ Forum, questions about STL, when there is a forum for that my friend ? ( ATL / WTL / STL Message Board...).
Well... 
|
|
|
|
|
Questions about STL are often bound to C++ ( this is even more the case if you're coding your app in C++). So basically, nobody minds when someone asks a C++ questions concerning STL's in the C++ forum (even more true if it is Christian). Whereas asking a C# question in the C++ forum is a sin.

You'll find that the ATL/WTL/STL forum contains few STL questions, most of them get asked here, in the forum for the language that STL is implimented in. It's not remotely the same, and it's not really the way to conduct yourself after both cross posting, and posting in a place where your question is not *remotely* relevant, to try the snappy comeback routine with a reply as weak as that one.
I don't recall asking any STL questions, to be honest. Are you sure I was not answering them ? I'm not claiming to know everything about STL, but I do think that my usage of the STL has been within my limited understanding....

:-OI want my application to run as soon as the system starts and should always remain in the memory. Do I have to make it as a service ???
This application has to interact with user OS and I/O .
OS on which it will run: Win 98/NT/2000 and XP
|
|
|
|
|
You should create your application as service.
Note: Win9X does not support services! Only Windows NT based Operating Systems!

Sir, how is it possible to terminate a hanged application from another VC++ application ?
C.R.Naik
|
|
|
|
|
Use this employed technique from this article[^] to find your hanged process then use process API function to kill it.
|
|
|
|
|
Note that in some instances it's actually impossible to kill a process, even on NT!
Some kernel calls are implemented in a way that they can hang (around) in kernel mode almost indefinitely. Trying to kill such a process is futile - it simply won't die. Also note that this design (though I'd personally call it a very serious flaw) prohibits you from even logging out - Windows wants to kill the process, which can't be killed. The only way to get out of this mess (except for waiting 365 years or so) is, really, a hardware reset.

I'm trying to write some html help for my app and have got stuck with the table of contents.
2 files seem to get generated by the compiler, a CHM and a CHI. Opening the CHM requires the CHI to be present as well, otherwise the table of contents is missing.
But of course, most apps only distribute a CHM. Am I missing something? How do I merge the TOC into the CHM file?

Hi,
CHI stands for Compiled HTML Index and require for showing Table of Content.
A. Riazi
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah. I'm cool with that.
My question is how do I merge the CHI file into the CHM? Other apps only distribute a CHM but still have a table of contents. So how do they do that without distributing the CHI as well?

Hi all!
I need to do a little program in VC++ (I prefer to use MFC, since I'm more familiar with it), that needs to detect the default gateway in the machine where it is run, ping that IP and be able to detect whether the ping is responding or not.
Also I need to be able to detect the OS (Windows) of the machine.
Any ideas?
Thanks....

Thanks so much. That's real helpful.
If anybody has any ideas about the gateway....
Thanks!

Depending on the OS version this information is stored in various places in the registry. Fortunately they are different in almost each Windows version 
You must write code for W95/98/CE/ME/NT4/W2k/XP/.NET which reads the corresponding registry keys.
A good start is
...\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Adapters (NT5)
...\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters (NT4)

Hi there,
I'm about to create a custom control for an application. This control should have 4 Buttons, 2 Textfields and about 10 LED's (some kind of changing bitmaps). I'm not able to put these buttons in my custom control. The LED's are easier to impelement, but I think these Buttons are little bit tricky.
I want to put these things in a custom control, because i have to instanciate about 32 of them (maybe at runtime)
Is anybody able to help me?
Thanks a lot for helping me
greets, Ingmar
