Make sure that Want Return is set in the dialog editor.

This is by far the weirdest bug I’ve ever encountered! We’ve used an ATL NT Service module (multithreaded) to synchronize the physical clocks of the nodes in our network with the (so called) master time server. The service runs fine for 49,7 days, but then sh*t happens. RPC pulls a heavy CPU load for a few seconds and right afterwards the servers seems to show some nasty unexpected behavior. The service runs 100% CPU until a new client connects and asks the masters time, then the service continues normally for a few minutes and restarts pulling 100% CPU load. The weirdness is that “if” we set the clients interval at 5 minutes it all seems to run fine. I’m aware of the 32 bit rollover.
Concluding: for some reason the service starts pulling 100% CPU on the main thread. This because we couldn’t see (after profiling) any weird behavior in our own code. Debugging the host process doesn’t reach any further then the message loop where we expect the weirdness to happen.
Got a clue?

My applciation requires generating various wizards (either stacked dialog boxes / property sheets if MFC) using ATL. I am new to ATL. Can any body tell me how to display dialog box in ATL and followed by stacked dialogs? Any samples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I am tring to do a little WTL and am getting a undeclared identifier
for CFile. If I try to include afx.h then ATL complanes that I am
not allowed to include windows.h, but I am not using the windows.h
include. What do I need to do.
Thank You

WTL doesn't have a CFile class. If you want to use MFC and WTL together, start a new MFC project, add support for ATL in the wizard, then add the WTL headers manually to stdafx.h.

Background:
I've finally feel comfortable with c++ programming and now i want to get into 2D Game Programming. I'm using the free Borland compiler from the Command Prompt for my studies and so that makes it even harder.
Problem:
Since I'm trying to learn, the best way is to study the code and learn from it, however, all the DirectDraw/DirectX examples are written in VC++.
Question:
Can I implement DirectX, create a GUI, and use ATL/WTL/STL libraries to create 2D games such as Tetris using this compiler?
Follow-up Challenge:
If someone is movated to do so, can I just see a "skeliton" window using Direct X and DirectDraw in a GUI window using ATL/WTL/STL?
Summary:
Also, If I don't know what I'm talking about feel free to call me an idiot but if you do, also please correct me.
When in doubt, shout it out because the worst that could happen is waking up with a headache and a hospital bill.

You may want to use the following functions to convert from/to char*/BSTR:
_com_util::ConvertBSTRToString(BSTR pSrc)<br />
_com_util::ConvertStringToBSTR(const char *pSrc)
Hope this helps.

Hi all,

Please advice me, how to, sample program, API ...

HI Mike,
I think this situation,
A client perform click on HTML.
Usually, user execute 2 actions.
1.one download file dialog display, and click button.
2.another file dialog display and set directory and file name,
and download it.
This precondition is to decide download directory and file name.
I would like to download without 2 actions.
is it possible to do it ?
Best Regards,
yu-yu

Hi Mike,
Yes, I think so.
But, I memorise some virus situation.
When we click HTML infected virus, it download client
not to notice user, but it cause IE's security hall.
When I develop plugin that have mouse click event control
functin using ATL, this problem is solved.
But I have not skill to develop it still.
Do you think about it ?
Best Regards,

Hi All,
I am in the process of developing an ATL/COM extension for an application in which I have embedded the Windows Media Player ocx COM Control into an ATLDialog object. How do I get control of this object so that I can change the video being displayed? I guess if it was a CDialog I could use the appwizard to map the control to member variable. How do I do this for an ATL Dialog?
Do I get the handle and then ......
You help would be greatly appreciated
cheers

Hi ,
U can use GetDlgItem(IDC_MEDIACONTROL1) , this will return u the handle of the media control window
now create a CWnd object attach this media control handle .
HWND hwn=GetDlgItem(IDC_MEDIACONTROL1)
CWnd * wnd=new CWnd();l
wnd->Attach(hwn);
then call wnd->GetControlUnknown()..this will return u the IUnknown Pointer.
Using this pointer query for other media control interfaces..and enjoy coding
byee..hope this solves ur problem

Hi Abhishek,
Thankyou for your help.
I have done what you said above, but need a little more guidance. When you say at the end "Using this pointer query for other media control interfaces..and enjoy coding"... what is the other media control interfaces? What interfaces/objects should I be aiming to query too...?
I want to be able to do something like....
HWND hwn=GetDlgItem(IDC_MEDIACONTROL1)
CWnd * wnd=new CWnd();
wnd->Attach(hwn);
IUnknownPtr pUnknown;
pUnknown = GetControlUnknown();
//.......
//Query interface to some type of MediaPlayer object
IMediaPlayerPtr pMyPretendMediaPlayerObject; //any ideas on the correct interface?
pMyPretendMediaPlayerObject->Open("The path to the file I want");
pMyPretendMediaPlayerObject->Play();
//.......
Does the logic for this seem ok.... or could you point me to somewhere I could read up on this.
thanks for your help
cheers

Hi once again, sorry for not making myself so clear..
actually i mean
using that IUnknown Pointer
like
IUnknown *unk=wnd->GetControlUnknown();
Query for other interfaces like this
IMediaPlayer *mediaplayer
unk->QueryInterface(IID_IMediaPlayer,(void **)&mediaplayer);
in the same way all other interfaces that Windows Media Control Supports ..u can see supported interface in VB Object Browser(by addding Control in a VB and browse that object .using utility object browser).
So ...tell me if it worked..and i am making myself clear!!

Hi Abhishek,
Yep looking at the VB object browser was a good idea.
I have foudn one reason why it was not possible working.... I forgot to import the ocx object definition for the MediaPlayer (msdxm.ocx).
However, when I define the IMediaPlayer the compiler doesn't have a clue about what to do.
C:\DEVELOPMENT\VideoTool\SelectedWin.cpp(18) : error C2065: 'IMediaPlayer' : undeclared identifier
C:\DEVELOPMENT\VideoTool\SelectedWin.cpp(18) : error C2065: 'mediaplayer' : undeclared identifier
C:\DEVELOPMENT\VideoTool\SelectedWin.cpp(18) : warning C4552: '*' : operator has no effect; expected operator with side-effect
I getting pretty frustrated why it seems so complex to something that should be simple.
I am relatively new to ATL MFC etc.... but this should be a walk in the park.
thanks for your help
cheers

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the pointer to your articles! nice to read the background info on why certain things have to be done.
The WTL example that you posted was with a com server (.exe). Does having my extension with activex control change many things if it is in a DLL?
Cheers
Bryce

The Windows Media Player SDK has an example of this called "WMPML" which can be downloaded with the SDK at www.windowsmedia.com
It implements a big CAxDialog, but it doesn't compile! I haven't bothered trying to fix it, but it's probably what you're looking for.
