Hi ,
I was planning to take the brainbench visual C++ test . Has anyone here taken it ? any suggestions or areas that they focus on . And which book do they recommend for practice ?
Thanks

Seriously, who cares ? What good will it do you ?

Basically im in the process of looking for a new job and this is the company's requirement . Apart from that is there a good book that can help me prepare for this ? Ive worked with MFC for past 3 yrs but cannot say that my knowledge about MFC is complete . ive worked on a small subset of components that MFC provides .
Thanks

The company requires you to take the test there, or show them your result ?
Do the test, and have google in another window to look things up.

Yeah, I'd absolutely recommend reading up on anything that comes up which you can't answer yourself.

Wow - there's a fair bit there that I never learned. You need to know all of this ?

I've been building a GUI for an embedded meter test environment. Its getting very crowded, when all of the sudden
I can't create buttons or fields from the tool bar. I also can't create them by copy and paste. I have to go in and modify the source to create the objects. Anyone seen this.

It's a Visual Studio limitation  - you can have up to 256 controls on the dialog, and then you can't add any more.
[That must be one very complicated GUI]

You need to load your image into a DIBSection. There are DIBSection wrappers here on CP.

Anyone know of an easy way to take a dialog resource from a VS6 project and import it into a VS7.1 project? I _really_ don't feel like doing it the hard way (as in re-creating everything)...

I have almost the same problem. I think there isn`t a way, have to do it manually

Open the .dsw file from VS .NET. Make sure this is a copy, because it will change everything. It will convert your whole project for you. Then you can remove or add anything you want.
If I write code in my sleep, does that make me brilliant, or just a lazy programmer?

I am new to C++ and I am trying to use ReadFileEx.
I would like to put it in a loop and be able to perform other operations.
I have looked at the MSDN, but I would like to see a sample.
Thanks,

I've got a friend who I work with who asked me to program an application for his wife who is a teacher. The problem? She teaches a computer course and when she is talking or teaching, the kids are ignoring her and playing on the computer.
She'd like to have an application on her desktop computer that remotely locks/unlocks the keyboard and mouse of all of her students' computers. Of course when the students' computers are locked, a message should be displayed as they type (pound?) on the keyboard or move the mouse.
I figured a couple of hooks (system wide) for mouse and keyboard should do it. I'm new to the subject and have read a couple of the articles here on CodeProject but have some questions. One article said that you shouldn't use MFC and/or C runtime library calls. No problem but I need to communicate to the teacher's computer using Winsock so my question is since, I believe, that Winsock is part of the platform SDK and/or part of the standard Win32 API, can I use Winsock in the global dll implementation? Or, should it be a separate executable that communicates with the DLL via windows messages and relays the commands to the server app (teacher's computer) via Winsock?
Anyone have any suggestions on how I should implement this? I figure the teacher runs an executable on her machine that sends/receives command to the students' (client) computers using Winsock. The students' computers should all run the DLL (should this be a service?) or should I also create an executable for the clients that install the DLL and autoruns as a service?
OT. Why hasn't anyone already built this application and is it worth selling?

I have a string that might contain one or more occurences of 'search' text and I want to replace all occurrences with some 'replace' text.
However, it can not be the usual dumb replacement, because I can not afford to have the text Tag100 replaced with TAG200 if the search text is 'TAG1' and the replace text is 'TAG2'.
Anyone know existing locations of some 'smart' text replacement code in C or C++?

I am not sure if the regular expression search in VC++ can do it, but I am sure that Regex++ can. Regex++ is part of the boost library and is free for downloading.
I hope that helps!
Good Luck!

Strange! I have a server and a client. Using straight winsock2 API and event notifications. Dual processor machine!!!
Problems/obesvations:
1) If client and server are both running on the dual processor (same computer) and client allowed to use both processors, often but not always client does NOT get notification about incomming data.
2) If client and server are both running on the dual processor (same computer) and client is limited to either processor, client gets all the notifications fine.
3) If client is running on the dual processor and allowed to use either processor, and Server is running on a different machine, client gets all the notifications fine.
4) If Server is running on the Dual processor and can use either processor, and client is running on a different machine, often but not always client does NOT get notification about incomming data.
5) If Server is running on the Dual processor and is restricted to a single processor, and client
is running on a different machine, often but not always client does NOT get notification about incomming data.
6) If client and Server are both run on same dual proc machine, and server restricted to one processor but client is allowed to use both, often but not always client does NOT get notification about incomming data.
Any ideas why?
Help!

I've run across this myself. Are you spawning the socket in its own thread? It seems that sockets aren't inherently thread-safe, so the easiest way I found to work around this is to keep the socket in the UI thread (for better or worse).

Wow! You lost me there. Should I or should I not spawn it in it's own thread? Also how does UI trhead solve that? Excuse my uneducated ignorance. 
Do you mean you post messages to that thread with things to do?
