Which kind of application do you have ? MDI, SDI, Dialog ? What will be the second window for ?
AFAIK, you can create another window in the Win32 API just like you did for the first one, each having their own message loop.
Why can't the second window be a child window ?

The program is a SDI, it will be used to create, edit, and administer tests to students. There is a main form, which basically provides a menu of what is to be done, ie. create a new test. These tests will either be printed out, or taken on the computer, and will only consist of short answer or multiple choice questions.
So, in the end, it will need
a) the main form
b) a form to create the test file
c) a form to design the test
d) a form to take the test
e) a results form
and the list goes on.
The second window can't be a child window because the first form will be disapeared while any other forms are active.
I figured that the second window would be made the same way, but I saw potential problems with the
while(GetMessage(&Msg, NULL, 0, 0) > 0)
{
TranslateMessage(&Msg);
DispatchMessage(&Msg);
}

I just finished trying it out, and it works.
Just declaring a new WNDCLASSEX object, with the same hInstance, the same MSG, and a new WindowProc... and it worked fine.

In this day when .NET is about to be out with its second version, and MFC has been around for some 10 years, I can't fathom anyone using the Win32 API to do Windows programming! 
Nevertheless, it's a good learning experience. Good luck!

I want my messagebox to automatically vanish after a few seconds....I will probably be emitting it in my View class...ANy hints? Thanks

Use this and give it a callback procedure.
int MessageBoxIndirect(
LPMSGBOXPARAMS lpMsgBoxParams // address of structure for message
// box parameters
);
Then you can just fire a message to the box when you are finished and close the dialog when you recieve that message.
OR,
use the same creation method, but in the WM_CREATE, start a timer and in your callback when you handle the WM_TIMER, you can just kill the dialog.
Hope this helps!

The best way is to not use a standard MessageBox but your own dialog box. Inside it you can add a timer to close it after a certain amount of time.
I recommend that you also let the user know that in 10, 9, 8, ... the dialog box will close.

Is there a way to call this function and have it not "Beep" ?
Dan Willis

|

Beep? I didn't know it did!
Perhaps it's a Windows setting. Check the Control Panel/Sounds applet.

Hi,
I have a simple question.
When I create a MFC project using wizard, All the created files are in the same folder.
I would like to put all the *.h (including resource.h)into a folder named "MFC header" and all the *.cpp int another one named "MFC source". Also, I want to put Myproject.rc into the "res" folder. Is there a good way to do that so that I dont have dependency problems?
I use VS.NET architect enterprise

Sorry...
Donno if this sounds like a joke  ... but did Ms Access 2002 has something similar to stored procedures ?
thanks in advance

The nearest I can think of is the stuff under Queries. This could be called stored procedures. Not sure how you execute them from external apps - my knowledge of Access is limited to apps written using Access Basic.

I have a dialog that is created using dlg.DoModal();
I have a timer funciton running in a seperate thread, created by the dialog. Is it possible to have the thread call Onok() for the dialogue, in order to close the dialogue as if I'd hit ok button?
Thanks
|
|
|
|
|
hi,
of course is that possible
just start a new tread in OnInitDialog()
Or just with OnTimer Event of CDialog class
and when time is reached/or thread is finished when dialog must close.
just call OnOK() or ONCancel()
dano

|
|
Call p_dlg->EndDialog(IDOK).

You don't need a separate thread for the timer, by the way. Just call SetTimer inside OnInitDialog and add the OnTimer handler. In there you can call OnOK().
