I guess it's CMenu::TrackPopupMenu you're looking for, probably with TPM_RETURNCMD flag.

If you want the menu options to always be available. Do something like this in your OnInitDialog()

CMenu menu;

menu.LoadMenu(ID_OF_MENU);
SetMenu(menu.m_hMenu);
menu.Detach();// now owned by dialog
DrawMenuBar();

The dialog will destroy the menu automatically when itselef is destroyed

You then just need to write ON_COMMAND() handlers for each item. If you need to enable/disable items, handle the WM_INITMENUPOPUP message and process the individual items there.

Parsing CString

I'v got a CString string as follows

CString strPacket = "$1234567FFFFFFFF#00

I want to parse the string so that str1 = "1234567" & str2 = "FFFFFFFF"

Any suggestions on how to do this

At the moment I'm using the following, however there must be an easier way of doing this.

m_strRspData = "";
for(i = 1; i < 9; i++){
m_strHex = m_strRspPacket.GetAt(i);
m_strRspData += m_strHex;
}
m_strRspData.MakeUpper();

Something like:

int x = 0;
while (isdigit(strPacket[x]))
{
    str1 += strPacket[x];
    x++;
}

str2 = strPacket.Mid(x);

However, if you are always breaking between the 8^th and 9^th characters, just use Left() and Mid().

TerminateProcess w2k and xp!

VC6.0

Hello,

i have a question, how can i terminate a process from an another process? Ich my Situation i want start program b.exe from a.exe. But b.exe should start once a time! I do it with that:

1) First start b.exe:

PROCESS_INFORMATION ProcInfo;
STARTUPINFO startupInfo;
memset(&startupInfo, 0, sizeof(startupInfo));
startupInfo.cb = sizeof(startupInfo);

CreateProcess(NULL, // lpApplicationName
"C:\\b.exe", // lpCommandLine
NULL, // lpProcessAttributes
NULL, // lpThreadAttributes
NULL, // bInheritHandles
NULL, // dwCreationFlags
NULL, // lpEnvironment
NULL, // lpCurrentDirectory
&startupInfo, // lpStartupInfo
ProcInfo); // lpProcessInformation

2) Second i check, wheter program is still activ

HANDLE handle = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS,TRUE,pProcInfo->dwProcessId);

if (handle!=NULL)
{
... if programm b.exe activ terminate b.exe ...
}
else
{
... start b.exe ...
}

3) If programm b.exe active i terminate it and restart it

I do it with this code:

TerminateProcess(m_pProcInfo->hProcess, 0);

Now i got back to step 1:

This works fine in w2k, but in xp step 2 doesn't work. The handle is always not NULL.

What is wrong? Give's a better way to do that?

Thanks

From the top of my head: maybe instead of PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS you should use PROCESS_TERMINATE?

Hello Tomasz,

thank you for your tip. I changed PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS to PROCESS_TERMINATE in OpenProcess(...). But i have the same effect as before.

When i alredy had terminated the programm b.exe and it doesn't exist in the tast-manager. I do step 2 and the handle is alawy not NULL. But i see this effect only in XP. W2k show me NULL and I can start b.exe with createprocess.

What do i wrong!

Thanks

The process ID may be reused, so maybe you're getting the handle for other process? Anyway, since you're calling CreateProcess yourself, why don't you use another thread and WaitForSingleObject?

I need to convert CString string to unsigned long. Exammple

Need CString strPacket = "FFFFF400" to unsigned long

Also any idea how to add a value to strPacket. What I mean is
strPacket = "FFFFF400" + "4" = "FFFFF404";

Use strtoul() for this.

Assuming that strPacket is a CString object, this is perfectly valid:

strPacket = "FFFFF400"; // assignment
strPacket += "4";       // concatenation

(cough)
Actually, I think they meant

unsigned long x;
unsigned long y;

x = strtoul(str,NULL,16);
y = strtoul(str2, NULL,16);

strPacket.Format("%08lx", x+y);

You could theoretically get some perf boost from Whole Program Optimization introduced in 7.0. Of course, it greatly depends on specifics of your code. Did you actually profile it, anyway? Smile | :)

If you already know the value of 'c', then there is no need to calculate its value. You are simply left with a problem of solving an equation with two unknowns. There are plenty of algebra/high school math sites that show how to do this.

Hi All,

Iam trying to Draw a Bitmap to screen using the DeviceContext function StretchBlt.

//These are my parameters in LogicalUnits
int xCord;
int yCord,
int bitmapwidth,bitmapheight

StretchBlt(xCord,ycord,bitmapwidth,bitmapheight,...
I want the first 4 parameters of the StretchBlt to be converted to deviceCo-ordinates(Pixels).How Could I do that.

I found the function "LPtoDp" in Msdn,But this function doesnt return me anything to pass the converted valuesto the stretchBlt function.

Help!
Thanks...
