Thanks for clarifying that. That is correct.

Thanks, but that leaves the question, what do I use in place of 'checkbox' when I do 'checkbox.GetCheck()'? The member variable shouldn't work and I tried the ID.

Whatever name you gave the member control variable.

No, using the member veriable name doesn't work. I get the error "left of '.GetCheck' must have class/struct/union type. The same when trying to change the static text box.

checkbox should be a CButton, and textbox should be a CStatic.

I suppose I really was too vague in the first place. The above suggestions do not work because I never hand created a CButton or CStatic for these controls. checkbox should be the name of an instantiated CButton and textbox should be name of an instantiated CStatic, but since I never instantiated these I can't do that. I only put a static text box control onto the dialog and a checkbox control and set the ID and member variable names. Shouldn't there be a simpler way, like a refresh() function (I checked help and the refresh commands were for other languages. Maybe it's named something else for C++)

If you don't create member variables for the controls, how do you expect to interact with them? You can't just put a control on the dialog and expect it to know what to do.

I did create a member variable for the controls, as I noted above.

However, I never instantiated a CButton (i.e. I never called the CButton constructor), unless Visual Studio automatically does that for me somewhere. In any event, putting the member variable name in front of '.GetCheck' does not work. If the member variable name was an instantiation of CButton it would. I get an error if I try to use either the member variable name in front of '.GetCheck' or the ID. Those don't work.

I finally did find the command to change text. It's a dialog item, so you use SetDlgItemText(int ID, string str), but the problem was and is that the dialog box doesn't update when the state changes. That is, the static text box doesn't display the new string I set the text to)

I need to check the activity of the user, to detect when the user is outa here. I need it to set away mode in software. But I don't want to hook all messages like spy software. is there any way to detect the ser activity ? Screen saevr detection is not an good way.

How about GetLastInputInfo()?

It's very good, but "Windows 95/98/Me: Unsupported."
I understand that support of these systems is almost stopped, but my customers have all range of systems. Maybe I will emulate this function for Win9X - Anyway thank you very much.

I read that article and he puts the hook handler handles and counter into shared memory:
#pragma data_seg (".IdleUI") // any name you like
HHOOK g_hHookKbd = NULL;
HHOOK g_hHookMouse = NULL;
DWORD g_dwLastInputTick = 0;
#pragma data_seg ()
Why is that? Doesn't that mean that only one thread of a single process can use the hook handler in this DLL? Why aren't those data at least process-specific so multiple applications could have used the functions in the DLL? I recently made a mouse hook handler and I did NOT put anything like this in the shared data segment and it works fine. Do you think that was something specific for the Windows 9X support?

That would defeat the purpose of checking for idleness. If these variables were not marked as shared, each process that used the DLL would get its own copy of the variables, thus idle in one process might not be idle in another process.

I have a dialog which contains a CListCtrl to dislplay some information.
two cwinthreads from other dlg keep updating the data of the CListCtrl.
the CListCtrl's handle is passed to the threads and there is a Shared CriticalSection among these 3 objects.
when i close the dlg, i want to set a flg to inform the two threads that the list is destroyed. so i call in the exit event of the dlg:
lock.Lock();
destroyFlg = true; // the threads will check this flg before access the list
//and access to the list is protected by lock & unlock
lock.UnLock();
what happend is that , the dlg is hung. i traced and find it hung at lock.Lock();
there is only one crictical section and i am sure i have paired each lock() with a unlock(). why this still happend?
Some one knows please help me. thanx a lot.

You can avoid a whole lot of problems by simply having these other two threads post a message back to the main thread (the one that actually owns the GUI). Locking and synchronizing are a headache if not done 100% correctly.

Consider using a wrapper class to lock your object.
See following code:
http://code.axter.com/sync_ptr.h
The above wrapper class will automatically lock and unlock your object, so you don't have to worry about forgetting.

hi everybody...
i want to make a loop in a function...this loop is endless (except if the user cancel)..in VB i use DoEvents so the window of the program doesn't hang..what's the equivalent of it in VC++...

what about this :-
while(PeekMessage(&msg,0,0,0))
{
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}

when u click on any variable name, we'd find "go to declaration","go to reference".. but if u click on it, its not taking the cursor to the decl or ref, its simply saying "The Symbol 'VAL1' is not defined".. but i've declared everything inside the class n i get no errors.
and code assistance is not coming too... when you type the .(dot) after an object or something, nothing is displayed. should we change any setting in the IDE?
thanks in advance

do you use VC++ 6 or VC++.NET 2003 ? (VC6 i think)
you have to make the pdb file when it ask you to...
TOXCCT >>> GEII power

Did you declare the variable in a header or a code file ?
The class browser only looks in header files, certainly on VC6.0.
