WinApp::OnIdle

I've tried to make an Idle time processing in an MDI project, but even if there are no messeges for the window the lCount doesn't go higher then 1... => I've tried to see what's going on in the thCore, but I couldn't figure'it out.

Any tip would be appreciated.

CWinApp::OnIdle will return FALSE when it is done. If you want to insert idle processing after that, you have to get your override to return TRUE. If it returns TRUE, OnIdle() will be called with an increased lCount.

these are the standard C++ container :

#include <list>
#include <vector>
#include <queue>

all these are from the std:: namespace.

you can also read The C++ language from Bjarne Stroustrup for more infos.

If you just want a way to store a collection an easy place to get started is indeed std::vector or std::list. If you *specifically* are looking for a stack/queue behaviour, then take a look at std::deque

Which one? VC++ does not have a built-in one (i.e., comctl32.dll).

Yes it does not but you can insert it in the project using "Insert ActiveX Control" and select "Microsoft Masked Edit Control, version 6.0".

Of course. It's not quite built-in as it is an external ActiveX control, but a masked edit control nonetheless. What specific problem are you having with it? You indicated that alphanumeric text was troubling you. Does that imply that alpha-only and numeric-only are working fine? I'm just trying to narrow down if it's a specific usage of the control that's the problem, or the control as a whole. What mask/format are you trying to use?

Whether I use a mask for numeric or no mask for just plain string, I am not able to display anything at all in the control.

I created a simple project with just the dialog and the control and I am still unable to display any string.

Serialize

I'm having troubles to serialize my object.
I have a class called: CDecDatabase that have a member of type CObArray of CSistema object, (an array of CSistema objects).
CSistema object have 3 arrays CObArray, (arrays of objects CP1, CP2 y CP3).
All the object have a Serialize function.

First I invoke CDecDatabase::Serialize(), then, this function call Serialize() of the array of CSistema and this function call the methods Serialize() for the other arrays of CP1 CP2 and CP3 objects.

Something I have saved but this is not all the data.
I don't know if I'm serialize the objects in the right order.

Thank you.

Demian.

Hi,

Currently i am working on single document interface MFC to create a small update program to the database to change the values store in the fields.

However, in order to let the program run "automatically", i have to used thread. But I know nuts about threading.

I have attached the main part of the updating of the program below. pls kindly help..I have read up on books about C++ on the thread function. the book says, to create and start, i have to use AfxBeginThread and have some arguements inside. and a function UINT MyThreadFunction(LPVOID pParam).

Really need help on this as its very urgent to me... Thanks a million.

void CUpdateView::OnUpdatedb() <br />
{<br />
	// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here<br />
<br />
	double propa_update = 0.814;<br />
	double resp_update = 0.205;<br />
	double link_update = 1.19;<br />
<br />
	//get a pointer to the recordset<br />
	CUpdateDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();<br />
	UseRecordset* pUseRecordset	= &pDoc->m_UseRecordset;<br />
<br />
	do<br />
	{<br />
		//Allows the current record to be edited<br />
		pUseRecordset->Edit();<br />
			<br />
		//increment in the values from the database<br />
		pUseRecordset->m_propatime = pUseRecordset->m_propatime*propa_update;<br />
		pUseRecordset->m_respondtime = pUseRecordset->m_respondtime*resp_update;<br />
		pUseRecordset->m_link = pUseRecordset->m_link*link_update;<br />
		<br />
		//Saves the current changes to the database<br />

Sounds like you need a worker thread (i.e., a thread with no message pump). If so, read this article. When it comes time to update the database, create the thread and put your update code in this thread. You might want to periodically post a message back to the main thread indicating progress.

Hi,

I have read the article that you gave me and have tried implementing the methods into my program.. however, that are still one error which i hope u could help me..

<br />
void CUpdateView::OnUpdatedb() <br />
{<br />
        // TODO: Add your control notification handler code here<br />
        running = true;<br />
        AfxBeginThread(run, this);<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
UINT CUpdateView::run(LPVOID p)<br />
{<br />
	CUpdateView* pView = (CUpdateView*)p;<br />
	pView->run();<br />
<br />
	double propa_update = 0.814;<br />
	double resp_update = 0.205;<br />
	double link_update = 1.19;<br />
<br />
	do<br />
	{<br />
		//get a pointer to the recordset<br />
		CUpdateDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();		UseRecordset* pUseRecordset	= &pDoc->m_UseRecordset;<br />
<br />
		//Allows the current record to be edited<br />
		pUseRecordset->Edit();<br />
			<br />
		//increment in the values from the database<br />
		pUseRecordset->m_propatime = pUseRecordset->m_propatime*propa_update;<br />
		pUseRecordset->m_respondtime = pUseRecordset->m_respondtime*resp_update;<br />
		pUseRecordset->m_link = pUseRecordset->m_link*link_update;<br />
		<br />
		//Saves the current changes to the database<br />
		pUseRecordset->Update();<br />
<br />
		//Reruns the current SQL query to refresh the recordset<br />
		pUseRecordset->Requery();<br />
	}while(check_exit!=0);<br />
<br />
	return 0;<br />
}<br />
<br />
void CUpdateView::OnExit() <br />
{<br />
	running = false;<br />
}

The part that i have it bold is giving mi the error..

the error message is :

'CUpdateView::GetDocument' : illegal call of non-static member function
This problem is it because i have the UINT CUpdateView::run(LPVOID p) declare as static?

see declaration of 'GetDocument'
My declaration is CUpdateDoc* GetDocument(); in CUpdateView Class

See if this helps:

//get a pointer to the recordset
CUpdateDoc* pDoc = pView->GetDocument();

Keep in mind that what you have will not work if the primary thread is also accessing the document or the recordset.

Visual Basic-like editor for VC++ 6.0?

Yes, Borland had a very nice one called Resource Editor. Whether it's the one in question remains to be seen.

No, I don't believe it was Borland.

The interface was identical to VB's, with the obvious exception it generated the appropriate gui code on the backend.

I'd like to create a toolbar in IE, so that when a user clicks it, it can 'read' the current HTML page being displayed. Does anyone have a pointer where to look for some example code?

Sort of like clicking the "view source" menu option, but then with code of my own.
