I am not sure if the WSA events can be used in the WaitForMultipleObjects.
The reference to 'missing' timing events could have occurred if your thread was so busy processing network events that it did not 'time out' right at 2 seconds, but rather saw the timer event some time AFTER it had finished processing network events. However, since your processing of 'timers' is not so critical, that part would probably work fine.

It was as I thought then. I expect for the program to be waiting most of the time and receive an UDP message every 30 seconds or so and send one every 60 seconds or so.
I'm suspecting that it isn't possible to construct and entirely event passed (passive) solution for this problem. If I can't find some callback mecanism for both the network and timing events that is.

Given this situation, I would be inclined to create two threads. One that waits on the WSA Events and the second one running the timer and waiting on regular events. You can always communicate between the two threads when you receive a UDP packet so the timer thread does not improperly update information for a UDP packet you already processed.
For example, the WSA thread would communicate with the timer thread. If the timer thread times out and then scans the packet information, it can skip the processing for UDP data recently observed. Also, the WSA thread could set 'regular' events that can trigger activity in the timer thread. It seems more problematic to go in the other direction. If you use MsgWaitForMultipleObjects in the timer thread, you can use PostThreadMessage to send messages to the timer thread from the WSA thread.

All projects in VC6 seem to have MBCS defined by default.
With MBCS, a logical character can be 1 byte or 2 bytes.
therefore it is very important that we do not use _TCHAR *p; p++
but use _tcsinc(p).
But in most of the projects I have seen, I have not seen anyone using
_tcsinc anywhere. now dont say you dont use p++ either, its little hard to believe.
So how many of you use _tcsinc? If you dont, do you think it is not necessary? is it because your program will never run into multibyte character strings?
a google search on "_tcsinc" yielded only 356 results!
pliss to clarify. Thanks.

it's the first time i ear of _tcsinc()...
my programs use MBCS and I use TCHAR... you just have to #define _UNICODE (or not).
i don't really understand what is your problem with TCHAR and what _tcsinc() gives more...

1. You should read: http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/default.asp?url=/archive/en-us/dnarvc/html/msdn_mbcssg.asp[^]
2. You either define _MBCS or _UNICODE, but not both.
3. If you define _MBCS, then the above doc tells you why you should use _tcsinc and not p++. with p++, you may end up in the middle of a 2 byte character. So you should use the macro _tcsinc, which increments p by 1 or 2 depending on whether the character at p is a 1 byte char or 2 byte char.
4. My only worry is that this document is 10 years old, so I am not sure any changes have gone into the compiler for automatically using _tcsinc for p++, but that is unlikely(or I dont know, you folks here should tell me that).
back to you guys.

You should also search for CharNext, the win32 API equivalent of the C runtime function _tcsinc.

okay, that gives more results. perhaps it is more known to people than the _tcsinc.
Do you use either of these in your programs?
|
|
|
|
|
I missed an important question in the previous post:
if you dont use _tcsinc, you are either assuming the string have 1 byte characters or your program will go wrong someday. And if you assume your char is 1 byte, then using _TCHAR doesnt make sense. You can use just the char as well. What do you folks say?
|
|
|
|
|
If you use TCHAR, you are IMPLYING your string can be UNICODE if a UNICODE build is made. If your string must ABSOLUTELY be 'single byte characters' then use 'char' and if it must absolutely be UNICODE, then use wchar_t or WCHAR. You can potentially convert back and forth with MultiByteToWideChar and WideCharToMultiByte.
If you want your 'single-byte-character' processing to be internationalized, then at least compile for MBCS and use the 'mbs' for every hard-coded 'char' string and the '_tcs' functions on every TCHAR string. You get BIZARRE results if you hard code to an 'mbs' function against a TCHAR string and then commpile for UNICODE. Now you would be passing a wide-character string to a function expecting multi-byte character string.
Summary:
char -> use str or (preferably) mbs functions
TCHAR -> use tcs functions (compile either way)
WCHAR or wchar_t -> use wcs functions

I don't use any of the _tcsxxx() functions. For what I'm working on, there is no need.

You are right, google search doesnt indicate that people do not use it. i was only looking at how people have used it, through google.

For starters, our codebase is not accessible by Google... :->
There is also CharNext to consider.
There is also _mbsinc to consider.
I agree, however, that the code is more portable to other data formats if the _tcsinc is used instead.
We have a mixcture of ALL of the functions, unfortunately.
Newer (and overhauled) code is using _tcsinc

Always the first thing i change.
I always set to either UNICODE or nothing.
I always explicitly use unicode or ansii string class'/functions.
Not a big fan of this whole 'it may be ansii, it may be unicode, it may be mb'.

class CEncoderView is a MDI's view class. class CBMWin which derived from class CWnd is the subwindow of class CEncoderView.
I want to save the view as a DIB, so that I firstly DoModal a dialog for getting the DIB file's path. then I send a message MY_SAVEWHOLE which is handled in DefWindowProc to save the view as a DIB file.But I find the dialog is also appeared in the DIB file.
In order to clear the dialog, I invalidate the whole desktop befor saving the view shown as step 1 in the source code below. At this time, there are only the subwindow frames be showed in the DIB. they client rect is empty,because they did't redraw themselves.
In step 2 shown in the source code below, I get messages from the message queue. I want to save the view after all of its subwindows have send a message MY_REDRAW to it. But I find that the function GetMessage can't retrieve message MY_REDRAW at label A in the source code below. Meanwhile, I can retrieve the message MY_REDRAW in the function DefWindowProc at label B which shown in the source code below.
How the message be dispatch in the window?
#define MY_SAVEWHOLE WM_APP + 2 //save a view window as a file
#define MY_REDRAW WM_APP + 3 //have redrawed a subwindow
void CEncoderView::OnExportimage()
{
CExportImageDlg exportidlg( this );
int nRet = -1;
nRet = exportidlg.DoModal();
if (( nRet == -1 ) || ( nRet == IDABORT ))
{
AfxMessageBox( "Dialog box could not be created!");
return;
}
if ( nRet != IDOK )
{
return;
}
//added in step 1
//redraw all windows
::InvalidateRect( NULL, NULL, FALSE );
//end of added in step 1
//added in step 2
//the number of subwindows whose type isCBMWin
int iRedrawedSubWin = 0;
MSG msg;
int bRet;
//if all of the subwindows had redrawed themselves
//then save the view as a DIB
while(( iRedrawedSubWin < iSubWinNum ) &&
((bRet = ::GetMessage( &msg, NULL, 0, 0 )) != 0))
{
//can't retrieve message MY_REDRAW at this point
if ( msg.message == MY_REDRAW )
{
//never execute,can't retrieved message MY_REDRAW
label A: iRedrawedSubWin++;
}
if (bRet == -1)
{
break;// handle the error and possibly exit
}
else
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
}
//end of added in step 2
::SendMessage( m_hWnd, MY_SAVEWHOLE, ( WPARAM )( &exportidlg.m_CSFileRoute ), NULL );
}
LRESULT CEncoderView::DefWindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
CBMWin* pChildWnd = NULL;
int iRetValue;
PBITMAPINFO pBitmapInfo = NULL;
switch( message )
{
case MY_SAVEWHOLE:
iRetValue = Win2DIB( this, &pBitmapInfo);
if ( iRetValue != ERR_OK )
{
return 0;
}
SaveDIBFile( pBitmapInfo, ( CString* )wParam );
free( pBitmapInfo );
return 0;
case MY_REDRAW:
//when subwindow redraw,this message can be retrieved
label B: iRetValue = 0; //no mean.
}
return CView::DefWindowProc(message, wParam, lParam);
}
void CBMWin::OnPaint()
{
CPaintDC dc(this); // device context for painting
RECT rect;
GetClientRect( &rect );
//draw a DIB on the client rect
StretchDIBits( dc,
0, 0, rect.right, rect.bottom,
0, 0, ...);
//tell the prarent window CEncoderView it has redrawed itself

Hello,
I am currently trying to change from VB .Net to VC++ .Net.
I am trying to take information from a KeyUp event in the main form (form1), and put the KeyData into label1->Text.
Here is my code:
private: System::Void Form1_KeyUp(System::Object * sender, System::Windows::Forms::KeyEventArgs * e)
{
label1->Text = e->KeyData;
}
However, it returns me the error saying that "c:\...\TestingC++\Form1.h(96): error C2664: 'System::Windows::Forms::Control::set_Text' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'System::Windows::Forms::Keys' to 'System::String __gc *'"
What should I do to correct this error?
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Programmer2k4

Is there any way, given a certain font, to know if a specific character will be able to be rendered properly or will be displayed as a "I-don't-know-how-to-draw-this" box.
I want to display some Japanese text, but only if the font is going to be able to render it properly.

Hi,
I want to change the size of array in run-time without loosing the elemnts of array.
Best wishes,
Thanks.

hum, I really wonder that you don't know C++ quite well.
i already post for you something about operator new.
if you want to change the size of an array (of course, without loosing its content), you allocate a new array (with the new size), you copy the existing datas from the previous array, you delete the old array...
that's quite simple, but if you have to perform lots of operation of this type on an array, you'd better have a look at the STL containers, especially list<> and vector<>
