CrystalReports comes with a number of useful functions to deal with reports. Try to search help on it. Although I did some reports in VS2003 and 2008, I'm sure there is such a possibility in VC++6 provided you have CR properly installed.

Hi All,
I am using a thread to do a work that is to write a file from a device. After the writing reaches to 100 MB I want to close the window and stop the thread. Stopping thread seems to be working but the window is not closed and it is showing error sometimes. But while using a button event the same code works.
void TestDlg::CloseRecord()
{
m_staGradient12.SetWindowTextA("Status:Stopped");
if(hRecording)
{
SuspendThread(hRecording);
DWORD lpExitCode;
GetExitCodeThread(hRecording,&lpExitCode);
TerminateThread(hRecording,lpExitCode);
CloseHandle(hRecording);
CloseHandle(file_rec);
hRecording = NULL;
file_rec = NULL;
OnCancel();
}
}
DWORD WINAPI Recording(LPVOID pParam)
{
TestDlg* pTSRecording = (TestDlg*)pParam;
fptr1 = fopen(def_filename,"w");
while(::WaitForSingleObject(pTSRecording->file_rec,0)==WAIT_TIMEOUT)
{
pTSRecording->ReceiveData(pbuff);
fwrite(pbuff,1,sizeof(pbuff),fptr1);
CFile file(def_filename,CFile::shareDenyNone|CFile::modeRead);
int x = file.GetLength();
file.Close();
if(x>=a)
{
fclose(fptr1);
a=0;
pTSRecording->CloseDevice();
break;
}
}
pTSRecording->CloseRecord();
return 0;
}

file.Close();
Doing this just to get the file's size is awfully expensive in terms of disk I/O. Why not just keep track of how much data is written, like:
x += fwrite(pbuff, 1, sizeof(pbuff), fptr1);

Why are you using TerminateThread when you already appear to have a signalling mechanism in place with pTSRecording->file_rec? To quote MSDN:
TerminateThread is a dangerous function that should only be used in the most extreme cases. You should call TerminateThread only if you know exactly what the target thread is doing, and you control all of the code that the target thread could possibly be running at the time of the termination. For example, TerminateThread can result in the following problems:
If the target thread owns a critical section, the critical section will not be released.
If the target thread is allocating memory from the heap, the heap lock will not be released.
If the target thread is executing certain kernel32 calls when it is terminated, the kernel32 state for the thread's process could be inconsistent.
If the target thread is manipulating the global state of a shared DLL, the state of the DLL could be destroyed, affecting other users of the DLL.
Since you have an event already and your thread's while loop is testing the event's state, simply signal the event in your CloseRecord function and then WaitForSingleObject (hRecording). This will neatly and completely and correctly shut down your thread. TerminateThread can mess up a system so much, it could be the reason your window won't close since the window and thread are interacting with each other.

Please kindly tell me how to proceed the above. I am new to threads. Please...

OnCancel();
I'm surprised you even get that far...
You probably have more than one thread started so the first one is able to suspend the second and continue, or something like that.
You're calling CloseRecord() inside the context of your thread and the first thing you do is suspend the thread. 
The thread stops its execution right there and cannot continue if the handle provided is the one of the thread and it looks like you believe it is.
If you manage to get further you kill the thread inside the context of your thread by calling TerminateThread(), which is always a bad call. 
And so on...
bhanu_8509 wrote:

This doesn't make any sense at all. This assumes the pTSRecording->file_rec is a valid handle, otherwise you'll get WAIT_FAILED as return value and exit the while-loop.
If it is a valid handle you check whether the handle is in a signalled state and if it isn't you continue immediately. It would be the same to have while(bContinue) instead, where bContinue would be a volatile declared boolean set to false when the thread should stop.
Think real hard whether you need a worker thread at all.
Consider overlapped I/O.
If you still think you need a secondary thread, read this[^].

By the way don't you have MSDN installed?

If you're not using a string class, there's always _tcstok()

or sscanf() ... He did say the string always had the exact same format ...

Hello everyone,
In the MSDN document for uuid, it is mentioned "The compiler attaches a GUID to a class or structure declared or defined (full COM object definitions only) with the uuid attribute.". I am very confused about this statement, the input is a string format of GUID -- it is clear, but my question is what is the output and what means "attach" here?
thanks in advance,
George

Every COM object needs to be identified uniquely on a machine. For this the compiler generates a UUID (Universally Unique Identier) to distinguish one interface from another.
For eg: how would the system identify the uniqueness of IUnknown. For this it binds a structure having the GUID with IUnknown
[
uuid(ba209999-0c6c-11d2-97cf-00c04f8eea45),
version(1.0)
]
interface INTERFACENAME
{
}
so if you have an interface call IMyIUnknown replace IMyIUnknown with INTERFACENAME and now this interface has a attached UUID with it so that it can be uniquely identified.
Hope I helped...

Thanks AnShUmAn,
I think uuid is used to uniquely identifies an interface or coclass, but I am quite confused why you give an interface name replace sample here? Does uuid have some special usage in the situation of interface name replacement?
regards,
George

This is specific to MS and COM, it is not general C++.
By 'attach' they mean the compiler generates the COM specific code needed to associate the generated uuid with the class as a type.
...cmk
The idea that I can be presented with a problem, set out to logically solve it with the tools at hand, and wind up with a program that could not be legally used because someone else followed the same logical steps some years ago and filed for a patent on it is horrifying.

Could you provide more information about what do you mean the generated code which does the association please?

Im trying to convert a string to a Const Char* How do I do that? Im using Dev and this is ther error i get:
cannot convert `std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >' to `const char*' for argument `1' to `int system(const char*)'
(Im new to C++)

This way!
string StrSysCommand = "cls";
system( StrSysCommand.c_str() );

that doesn't forbids you to interrogate the documentation...
the std::string class (which is a specialization of the std::basic_string template class) has a c_str()[^] member function...

I have created a dialog to display message on my application for 5 seconds after which the dialog closes. I created the dialog using the following code before which I update the display message text for the dialog
sDispMsg = (CString)"Setting up the Design Condition";
CProgressDlg pProg;
pProg.DoModal();
The above code is within a function. When I call the function it works fine. But when I call the above function after creating a thread using the code:
if( bAteRunThreadActive == FALSE )
{
htAteRunThread = CreateThread( NULL,0,(LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)tExecuteAte,(LPVOID)NULL,NULL,&dwAteRunThreadID );
if( dwAteRunThreadID == NULL )
{
AfxMessageBox( "ATE Thread Creation Failed" );
return;
}
bAteRunThreadActive = TRUE;
}
Note that when I am creating the dialog inside the thread function, my application crashes at the point after I call the Settimer in the below code. When I call normally outside the thread in a normal function it works fine. Also when I did a step by step debugging it works fine in the thread function also.
Pls provide some solution.
//My Dialog code
BOOL CProgressDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
CDialog::OnInitDialog();
// TODO: Add extra initialization here
GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC_DISPMSG)->SetWindowText(sDispMsg);
tID = SetTimer(1,5000, NULL);
return TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control
// EXCEPTION: OCX Property Pages should return FALSE
}
void CProgressDlg::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent)
{
// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
/* int nRet = 5; */
KillTimer(tID);
//EndDialog(0);
CDialog::OnCancel();
// DestroyWindow();
// AfxGetMainWnd()->UpdateWindow();
//CDialog::OnTimer(nIDEvent);
}

Whow, you've managed to make a lot of conceptional errors.
Perhaps you don't need a secondary thread at all.
If you would create a modeless dialogue instead of a modal one, you would be able to continue doing what you should in one single thread.
But if you think that you do need a secondary thread, you'd better read this[^] before you continue. In your case it's essential that you do read the article.
Main issues are:
- don't do GUI stuff from a worker thread
- SetTimer is considered GUI stuff since it is a member of CWnd
- If it was not out-commented, AfxGetMainWnd() would return NULL
