EndDialog() is a standard Windows function, and there's no such thing as EndWindow.

Hi,

Here are the possible causes[^] why the linker might report this error.

use /VERBOSE:LIB in the project settings.

You are using some single thread libs with multi thread libs.

Last rescue is /FORCE Unsure | :~

Child Dialog gets hidden behind activex control [modified]

13-Dec-09 21:26

I am sorry for you.

Take out all user libraries dependencies of your project. Or start a new one. You need one that can be build. And than step for step include the libs until it doesnt work.

Hello,

I have a main dialog in which I have embedded an activex control.
This dialog also has a child dialog.

When the main dialog comes up the child dialog is always partially hidden behind the activex control.
Only on mouse click it comes to the fore front.

CLIP CHILDREN didn't work.

Any help on this problem?

You should not use Dialogs within Dialogs, it is bad design. Your main window should be a normal window that shows the child dialog as and when it is needed.

Well I had the same situation few years back, If I remember correctly I handled the OnInitialUpdate() and OnSize() call of Parent class,

The first problem as I see is an repainting problem,
Hope this help.

Hi to All,

I have got a message Queue.
A thread function which should be able to process the queue, (that is if any data is available, then do some processing)....otherwise do nothing..

Now, my problem is...I cannot keep a while loop (inside the thread) and keep checking for the queue if there is any element in the queue...because it will consume lots of CPU processing power....Instead, I found the best method is to ......have a method, say getq()...which can be a blocking call...ie, inside my thread while loop , I should be able to do something like

threadFunction()
{
while(1)
{
   if(getq() != 0)
   {
   }
}
}

so the functionality will be...it will go inside(if block)only when there is an element in the queue...otherwise wait there...

Now, I need help/hints to make the getq function...(which will return any value only if there is any elemt in the queue...otherwise it will not return the control...It should keep waiting till any element is there in queue )

thanks in advance

This way you're simply 'passing the problem' to getq method.

BTW when the queue is empty your thread may go to sleep (i.e. call Sleep [^]) to release the CPU.

You have to use events for that: you can wait (without consuming any CPU time) on an event to be notified. Typically what happens is that you have a thread pushing elements into your queue and a thread popping element from the queue. The thread popping elements wait on an event to be signaled by the other thread after he pushed something into the queue. You will also need to add proper synchronization on your queue to avoid accessing it from both threads at the same time.

I suggest you start by reading this article[^] which will give you an overview of threads and synchronization techniques.

If you're using MFC, you could simply derive a class from CWinThread. It's really simple and you don't need to maintain a queue or anything. MFC does everything for you. You could use PostThreadMessage[^] to post a message to the message queue of the thread.

I have a feeling that the family of WaitFor... functions may be of help to you if you aren't using MFC!

Hi,

You might consider using a semaphore to control queuing/de-queuing so that the de-queuing thread does not consume any CPU while it is waiting for more items to process. There is an exellent Queue class on this site:

Hello, In my App I need to do some processing prior to the system going into a sleep mode, and once again when waking up.
I have tried a number of different ways of implementing this, but haven't succeeded in sucessfully intercepting the message. The code for the current implementation is included below. My app is SDI, OS is Win2000.

LRESULT CADSL_LoggerView::WindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
     // TODO: Add your specialized code here and/or call the base class
     if(message == WM_POWERBROADCAST)
     {
          CString szMsg;
          BOOL bRC;
           switch (wParam)
        {
               case PBT_APMSUSPEND:
                    szMsg.Format("Received PBT_APMSUSPEND");
                    g_pLogFile->Add(szMsg);
                    bRC = KillTimer(ID_TIMER);
                    szMsg.Format("KillTimer() returned %i",bRC);
                    g_pLogFile->Add(szMsg);
                    break;
               case PBT_APMRESUMESUSPEND:
                    szMsg.Format("Received PBT_APMRESUMESUSPEND");
                    g_pLogFile->Add(szMsg);
                    bRC = SetTimer(ID_TIMER,300000,TimerProcs);     // 5 mins (300 secs)
                    szMsg.Format("SetTimer(300000) returned %i",bRC);
                    g_pLogFile->Add(szMsg);
                    break;
          }
     }

     return CChartView::WindowProc(message, wParam, lParam);
}

I have seen other messages go through the function, but a breakpoint after if(message == WM_POWERBROADCAST) never seems to fire on hibernation.   Can anyone give me some idea of what's going wrong, and how to track it down ?   Many thanks !

It is definitely not an OS problem - the system does hibernate. Also, I know the WM_POWERBROADCAST message does get issued, as I can see it being "caught" by another project ("PowerLog" downloaded from website). So, it's definitely something to do with my implementation. For instance, does my code snippet have to be included in any particular class of the project ?

Re: Catching WM_POWERBROADCAST message ---------------- *** SOLVED ***

There is only one view - normally hidden, I admit. Surely such a messsage (WM_POWERBROADCAST) still gets to a window even if it is hidden ? (or is this my problem ?)
