Re: Can Tcp/Ip "Accept() " Be Made "Non Blocking"

I think you should go by select() then. It takes a parameter which specifies a timeout for the operation. You can also check out the WSAAccept() function.

Correct ReBar/ToolBar/DialogBar functionality?

JBlair5-Aug-04 10:41

I've been programming in MFC for some time now, but have not needed to do much with the "control bar" classes until recently.

My problem is, I would like to have a control bar (toolbar, rebar, dialogbar, i-don't-care-which-bar) with a combobox whose contents is added at runtime (from a database, for example).

I've coded up a toolbar that draws a combobox overtop a seperator, but that's very klunky. I tried using a dialog bar, but since its not CDialog derived, one cannot easially add a control instance to one's app and initialize the combobox in the traditional manner. And of course, a rebar seems only to take a toolbar, dialogbar, or (I think) individual controls, but I want multiple controls on a bar/band.

It seems the the controlbar functionality is made more for sending simple messages to one's app, rather than manipulating more complex data. Is there are a simple solution to this problem that I'm overlooking? Thanks for your help.

How to send kb/mouse message to an un-active "Notepad"?

Member 6253945-Aug-04 10:25

I have a windows application that made by someelse. I don't have the source to change it. It takes kb/mouse inputs and does some work. Therefore, I wish I could use a program to pretend the kb/mouse sending inputs to it, so that it could running automatically.

If the target application is running foreground, everything could be easy. Using any keyboard/mouse record & play software will satisfy me. But I wish it could be running background. So I can use forground (another active windows) to do something else, for example monitor.

So, the problem is how to pretend kb/mouse and send message to a BACKGROUND app. For example, how to send "hello" to a un-active Notepad and let Notepad accpet "hello" as keyboard inputs.

I tried PostMessage to it directly. But it seems it will not response to my message. (I used another little program to prove that all these KeyUP and KeyDown messages are sent correctly). So I think there is some windows mechanism which makes un-active windows response to kb message.

I have no clue at all, any advise is very welcome.

Thanks,

Joe

Hey i am using CSocket class in MFC.

My program(client) should connect to multiple servers.
I am using single port at client to connect.It's connecting to the first server
successfully.For second server while connecting it's failing.
The error code it's returning is 0x00002748.
What's the meaning of this error code.

Is it possible to connect from the same port to multiple servers.If possible
pls help me.Is there any problem with CSocket class??

Thanks

automate the "create a new connection" wizard

guangguang5-Aug-04 7:37

In my project, I need to automate the process of creating a new "incoming" network connection which acts as a server for client connections. We can manually go through this process: "Control Panel" -> "Network Connection" -> "create a new connection" -> Click "next" on the "new connection wizard" dialog -> Choose "set up an advanced connection" -> "connect to another computer" -> choose "Host" ... We can assume that user always select the fixed choice at each step.

Is there scripting tools or Windows API which can automate the above process? Anyboby can give me some hints? Thanks a lot,

-Jeff

I am sure that all the wizard does is set up registry entries. The trick is to figure out which entries, and set them yourself.

I am sorry, but I do not know what the entries are.

Hi,

i need to find out the amount of processor time used by a process.

My Requirement:
i am running 2 programs.
1) The ACTUAL process.
2) a monitor process.

The ACTUAL process goes into an infinite while
loop. it begins to use a 99% of the CPU time.

i need to detect this condition from the monitor
program and kill the ACTUAL program.

please help, its very urgent.

thank you..

Just to add my 2 cents, this sounds like a very BAD solution. You need to figure out what is causing the infinite loop in the first place, and fix it! Doing it your way could cause other problems - resource leaks, for instance, or leave files/data in an unknown state.

An expert is somebody who learns more and more about less and less, until he knows absolutely everything about nothing.

dear navin,

i gave an example....

suppose... a program enters into an infinite
loop... (suppose)...
then, it would surely use the maximum CPU time.

there's is a method by which we can detect the
cpu usage time of a process. i've seen the
method somewhere, but i dont remember it now..

can you help me.... ??

bye

Using the majority of the CPU (e.g., 95%) and an infinite loop are not necessarily the same thing. While an infinite loop does cause the CPU usage to go very high, other operations can also cause the CPU usage to spike. So, if you were simply terminating a process based solely on CPU usage, you may be doing so for the wrong reason. Make sense?

I agree with Navin. Address the infinite loop issue and the need for a separate "monitor" process should go away. Even if you do need an infinite loop (e.g., while (1)), you should still take measures so that it does not consume all of the CPU.

Event Handler Never Called??

Hi,

I have dialog based application. If my event handler is in any class other than the main dialog class it never gets called. I would like to move the event handler to my subclass of a control.

Suggestions? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Example code probably won't help but I can walk through the steps to reproduce the problem.

I'm using Visual Studio 2003 .Net

- Create new MFC Application, select application type Dialog based.
- In the class view, using the wizard create a new class with a base class of CButton, I called mine MyButton.
- in the main dialog create a new button, right click and "Add Event Handler" choose the Message type: BN_CLICKED and the class as MyButton.
- in the handler OnBnClickedButton1 add MessageBox("hello");
- run application
- click button, nothing happens

however if you added the Event Handler to the main dialog class created by the wizard, then everything works fine. Confused | :confused:

Ideas?

Thanks

did you put a break point in your handler ?

me think it's the MessageBox that simply doesn't show.

Hmm. I'd say the button press must be notified to the parent of the button, in this case the dialog.

Notice that the event is called "BN_CLICKED". the "N" in "BN_" usually means "notification", in which case, the button's parent is notified.

In the message map for MyButton, add the following:

ON_CONTROL_REFLECT(BN_CLICKED, OnBnClickedButton1)

and remove the ON_BN_CLICKED() statement.
