Windows is a preemptive multi-tasker. It will periodically suspend your process to allow other things to run. If that isn't good enough for the thread in question, then force the priority of the thread to a lower level. Thus, if the use tries to work with practically any other window, they will be responsive.
There just isn't any justification for using Sleep on a real multi-tasking operating system. It causes excessive kernel transitions to do something that the OS is already designed to do for you.

I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

Does anyone know if there is a limit in VC as to the number of controls you may place on a dialog? I know it sounds like a bizare dialog, but I have 255 controls on it, and am unable to place anymore. When I select a control from the palette and try to draw it on the dialog nothing happens. If I copy a control from the dialog and attempt to paste it, the paste button will not become active. I'm sure you're wondering why one would have so many controls on a dialog, it has 200 check boxes which display a status of a device and labels for groups of the check boxes. I need to have 25 more check boxes.
Does anyone know if 255 is the limit for the number of controls one can place on a dialog? I've exited and come back into VC, thinking maybe that would work, but no luck.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Bob

I do not know, but it is easy to find out. Open your .rc file in notepad and add controls manually.

I believe the limit is in the GUI portion of the tool. It does appear to be limited to 255 controls. If I remove 3 controls, I can add only 3 more. I can however, add controls by manually editing the .rc and resource.h files.
Thanks for your input,
Bob

Hello,
I am a shareware author that some people localize to different localization. I use the resource DLL option and needed an easy tool for my translators to produce a localized DLL. Smart Translator (available in Free Tools on CP) was almost what I wanted. One problem: it was written using BCG.
So I took the source code, ported the interface to MFC, ported some of the features (not all) and added many more. Finally the tool is working kind of correctly. But there are still bugs to fix!
My problem is that my real shareware takes me a lot of time so I have not much time to spend on this updated Smart Translator. So I am looking for someone who is willing to take over the task to provide a great free localization tool to the community. I already contacted the author of Smart Translator and he has no problem that the someone takes the code and makes it evolve so you do not have to worry about that...
So if you fell like seriously taking this task over and keeping the stuff free then reply in this thread or contact me by mail: info@nabocorp.com.

And so? I also work for a software company and code my freeware/shareware on a small part of my free time. I guess a lot of people do the same...

I want to read a file which in a NT server. the file path is \\nt\myfile\mydata.txt
I write these:
CFile aa.Open("\\\\nt\\myfile\\mydata.txt",CFiel::Read);

I can't open the file mydata.txt from the nt. I have the account and password.

Do you have to login to open that file?
|
|
|
|

UNC paths are comprised as \\servername\\sharename\directory\directory\filename
So, it looks like you forgot the include the sharename of the drive you need to access. For instance, I've shared my C: drive as C, so I'd do something like \\joel\c\windows\notepad.exe

This is what I need but have no idea where to start. please help I am a real newbie to this stuff.
Create a base class-of type Tree that
you can plant, (think construct)
you can grow by age. 1,2,3 etc.
Create a derived class-Fruit-that will allow me to
grow 2 apples on my tree when age 2
grow 2 oranges on my tree when age 3
pick my fruit
design client code that will let the client plant, a tree and input ages to the tree-age begins at zero and apple and orange count is zero.
When age(input by client)is two, have two apples that clieck pick(apple count goes from two to zero)
When age(input by client)is three, have two oranges that clint picks(organge count goes from two to zero)
files should be
tree.cpp (base class)
tree.h
fruit.cpp(derived class)
fruit.h
farmer.cpp(client code)
I have to be able to run the code, test the code, print the code no file IO, just keyboard IO.
Need this really bad..........have no Idea please help!!

Is there any sample C program implementing Progress Bar using WinAPI but without using class?
Thanks for kind help.

Firstly, you just add a progress bar control into your dialog resource, then using
LRESULT SendMessage(<br />
HWND hWnd,
UINT Msg,
WPARAM wParam,
LPARAM lParam
);
you can set all the parameters of the control after getting its handle using GetDlgItem().
For e.g.
<br />
HWND hProg = GetDlgItem(hDlg, IDC_MYPROGBAR);<br />
SendMessage(hProg, PBM_SETRANGE32, 0, 100);
will set the range of the control from 0 to 100. For all messages, this is the link to progress bar control messages in the MSDN

Hello everybody,
This might sound like a stupid question, but I can't find anything. Do you guys know how I can compile a Visual C++ application in the command-line? Is there any place on the web where I can find information about that? Any answer is more than welcome.
Best regards,
Luis E. Cuadrado

Check the .plg file in your project's directory.

Having Visual C++ dsp file you can build it by such way:
msdev MyProject.dsp /MAKE "MyProject - Win32 Debug"
Replace MyProject with your project name. Change Debug to Release if necessary. Try to play with parameters, I think adding parameter ALL makes Rebuild All.

If I try and create a a CInternetSession object I need to specify my proxy name. When I then call GetHttpConnection() on the session object, I have to specify a username and password to authenticate with my proxy server. Unfortunately, my proxy server also requires a domain name. Anyone know how to do this?
I did think the following format would work but it doesn't:
username = mydomain\myusername
password = mypassword

Did you ever get an answer to your question? I'm trying to use CInternetSession going through a proxy, but I'm getting 404 - file not found errors. The part I can't figure out is where/when do I tell the proxy server my username and password. When I browse with IE, the browser pops up a user/password dialog as soon as I try to access a page on the internet. When I use the CInternetSession constructor I specify the proxy server, but where do I specify proxy user and password. Is the constructor supposed to pop up the dialog automatically?
Thanks for any help.

Try this:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/phykell/Software/GetResponse.cpp
It's Win32 rather than MFC but it may help you.
Where you need to specify the domain of the user, simply set the username option as follows:
domain\username

The spooler only knows of the existence of an error when one or more jobs are in the queue.
Try the MS code when a job has failed.
If you want an alert when a printer job fails you need to isntall a FindFirstPrinterChangeNotification/WaitForSingleObject/FindNextPrinterChangeNotification loop as per the examples on http://www.merrioncomputing.com/Programming/index.htm
