_tcscpy should do the same thing as lstrcpy. (text mapping wise) If I remember right, lstrcpy is the Win32 API version, whereas _tcscpy is the C runtime version.

While the net result may be the same, _tcscpy() resolves to either strcpy(), _mbscpy(), or wcscpy(), which are all part of the RTL. Using lstrcpy(), which is part of the Win32 API, produces smaller code.

I have a program getting input from a couple sensors, each on their own seperate thread. I also have a modeless dialog box which is supposed to display this data realtime, as it changes. Currently I am attempting to get a thread to update the dialog at a low thread priority setting. I am getting the data into the program, but is there a simpler means to get the dialog to update its information realtime than having a thread constantly update the data whether it has remained the same or changed.
How do you make user interface threads, I think that is where the problem lies. I have attempted doing so using the examples provided at this web site to no avail.

how about postmessage to the dialog itself? means you have to hand over its hwnd to whoever is getting the data

I have a number of radio buttons. I want to enter their ID's in a std::map for later use. But I can't figure out how to set the correct button from it's ID. IOW, given a group consisting of 2 radio buttons and their ID's (IDC_R1, IDC_R2), does anyone know how to set which one is picked?

CButton * butt = (CButton *) GetDlgItem(IDC_R1);
CButton * head = (CButton *) GetDlgItem(IDC_R2);

Thanks. That's what I was using but when I was doing the SetCheck, I forgot to uncheck the other controls so the program was aborting due to too many controls being enabled. I thought I was calling the control wrong.

I used to use the pointer method, and then one day I stumbled upon this function:
UINT IsDlgButtonChecked( int nIDButton ) const;
So, if you want to determine if the IDC_R1 button is checked, simply:
<br />
if (IsDlgButtonChecked(IDC_R1) != 0)<br />
AfxMessageBox("Checked");<br />

Thanks, I appreciate you mentioning that. But the problem I was having had to do with setting it, not checking if it was set. Turns out I was setting it correctly but I was also not un-setting the other radio buttons. It's working fine now.

Hi,
I am creating an app that requires a lot of settings and im wondering what would be the best way to structure them. Is the best way just to create a dialog for each of them and hook everything up as a stub and then fill everything else in?
Im just trying to get a feel for how other people design their applications. I find the MFC framework a little constrictive when im trying to pass data around.
Im trying to minimise time in case I later want to use a list view control/tab style e.g. tools->options in FireFox for all settings rather than an a menu option for each dialog. If I just create a dialog
for each settings would it be easy to convert it to a tools->options style dialog later on?
What are peoples thoughts and how do you structure that inital GUI so it is more extendable later on?
|

Seperate the GUI out from the rest. Make it really easy for the Human Factors team (if you don't have one, pretend there is one who designs all the screens) to change anything.
That is your program just recognises settings from a simple interface. The setup can be easially changed because the screens know nothing about how the rest of the program works.

you don't need a lot of C++ knowledge to create a great game;but depending on what kind of game you want to do, the level of c++ knowledge will be higher, mostly for optimisations and/or graphics.
What kind of game you what to do ?
the most important thing is to have a great idea or a good story ( if applicable ).
one good site dedicated to game programming is (or was )

Since you are wanting to write for mobile devices. You might want to check out GapiDraw. It will provide you a graphics engine that will run on standard PC (DirectX) and CE enabled devices (GAPI).

thanks! i really appreciate the help. can you program in c++ for mobile devices? or is it better to use flash action script or java?
dee

Yes, I am using C++ for my CE games. I am almost finished with my first, a flavor of Space Invaders! 
I suppose it is really a matter of what language you prefer. I guess you can be most productive with a language you know.
However, Java, C# etc could be used if you prefer.

I'm relatively new to win32 programming and im just looking to get a small application together that causes a windows application to have a 'shade' effect when one double clicks the title bar (instead of maximizing)... If anyone can give me some tips and/or examples I would appreciate it very much.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Will

Handle the WM_NCLBUTTONDBLCLK message. This is the message sent when a double-click occurs in the non-client area of a window.
the WPARAM variable should contain a hit-test value, one of which is HTCAPTION, signifying a hit on the caption bar.
if (wParam == HTCAPTION)
// do whatever
