Hi,
I have developed a multithread application, which will communicate with an embedded system. At startup the application should display splash screen for 5 seconds and display the application window. The problem is the display period of splash screen is more than one minute. When I monitored the messages using SPY tool I could see, other messages kept posting to the application window, whereas splash timer message got posted last.
Can anyone tell me why it is happening and how to get rid of the problem?

From MSDN: The WM_TIMER message is a low-priority message. The GetMessage and PeekMessage functions post this message only when no other higher-priority messages are in the thread's message queue.

Hello everyone!
What's the best way to save a HICON instance to a .ico file? Thanks!

Do you want to save icon to a file?

Isn't there any simpler way? I just wanted to use the Windows API.
Thanks!

Is there any program that could tell me on a specified DLL or EXE, in what language it was originally written?
Thanks.

For example C++ or Delphi,...

Hi,
I have a window which I want to see as always visible and active to the users. I have placed the window on top portion of the screen. Now I want all other windows(could be any window) below that window. I guess there should be an API which sets a region(boundary) for windows to be placed in. Can some one help me.
Thanks.

You can set your window to be a topmost window, so all other not topmost window will be under your window!
Use SetWindowPos() API.

We are preparing to upgrade our C/C++ apps from Visual Studio 6.0 to VS 2005. We have heard that VS 2005 no longer supports the standard C language calls (memcpy, memcmp, strcpy, etc) that we use frequently in most of our source code, and have used since back in the 1980's. Does anyone know if VS 2005 no longer allows these function calls directly?
Thanks, Mike

Those functions are fine -- they'll generate warnings.
The warning states what the 'better function' is and also how to disable the warning...
Before you decide though, you really should do a test compile under VS2005 to determine what other issues you might run into.

I posted this in the VS forum, but I guess its more specific to C++...
I'm using VS.NET 2005 and building a large application with about 100 projects.
There is one project in the solution that compiles to a DLL that I need to debug. (i.e. break, and step into the code) However I can't. In the modules tab of the IDE, it says that no symbols have been loaded for that module. I know the pdb is being generated though, has the same filename as my dll, and is being generated in the same directory as the dll. The timestamps match as well, and I'm building the debug configuration.
When I right click on the module in the modules tab and goto "Load Symbols" and point it to my pdb it says that "The symbol file xyz.pdb does not match the module"
What could possibly be going wrong?

|

It is possible that the pdb is stripped of its symbols. This is done in deployment to lessen the install footprint. It is also possible that the pdb is not generated from the code that generated the dll.

I found the problem,
I had the VTune plugin installed in my VS install, when I removed it, I was able to debug ok. My guess is that the VTune plugin somehow messed up the pdb generation.

I'm trying to save a file to a fixed location. The would like file to be saved in the same folder as the executable, so I am using a relative path. However, I get mixed results. Sometimes it saves to the proper folder, sometimes to desktop, and sometimes to C:\.
If I use an absolute path, the problem goes away. So my question is whether the path specified when opening the file is required to be absolute? And if so, how can I get an absolute path from a relative path not knowing where the executable will be installed?
Here is my code:
CStdioFile LcfIniFile;
CString LcsTempStr;
if (LcfIniFile.Open("test.ini", CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeNoTruncate | CFile::modeWrite | CFile::typeText | CFile::shareDenyWrite))
{
...
LcfIniFile.WriteString(LcsTempStr);
LcfIniFile.Close();
}
Thanks.
Edit: MSDN says path can be relative, absolute, or network name. So now I really don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Edit2: I should also note that reading the file using the relative path did not cause any problems, it was only during write.
