When I use this same code in the OnLeftMouseDown routine, the value of point.y at the top of the Client window is zero.
Because OnContextMenu point parameter is in screen co-ordinates and your right click handler point is in client co-ordinates so call ClientToScreen/MapWindowPoints to convert to screen co-ordinates. That's why it's zero in right click handler and 72 in context menu handler.
From MSDN for OnContextMenu point parameter
Position of the cursor, in screen coordinates, at the time of the mouse click.
From MSDN for OnLButtonDown point parameter
Specifies the x- and y-coordinate of the cursor. These coordinates are always relative to the upper-left corner of the window.

Which one and can it be done taking VS 6.0 C++ code and bringing it into one of the new VS 2xxx versions? We would like not to recode at this time and just import/rebuild under the newer environments.
Any problems with doing this?
thanks

Yes.

Highly unlikely. Unless you already had some real clean (i.e., compliant) C++ code, there'll be code changes.

Is there a guide of what to look at first and common things to change? Any documentation form MS on this or other guides?
thanks again

The most important issues deals with template and partial specialization.
Pay special attention to the use of the typename keyword, and to the way parameter lists are declared while reusing template declarations, since some scope rule are different.

I suspect what you'll likely run into will be Unicode and deprecation issues.

Hi, I'm using C++ with MFC and VC++ 2005.
My problem is this:
I have two different projects, one dependent on the other. The first project compiles to produce a static lib. It also includes a namespace, let's call it "NAM" for the purpose of this question. The second project then includes the headers from the first project, and the static lib in its settings.
This all seems fine, and the first project (the lib) compiles with no problems. However when I compile the second project, I receive linker errors for all of the namespace functions called in the first project's single .cpp file. So for instance, in project 1, I might have the function:
NAM::Find_String(void)
Which compiles just fine when I compile that project alone. But in the second project, I get this weird linker error that says:
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _Find_String
What am I doing wrong? It's like somehow the second project doesn't see the 'namespace' declared in the first project even though all the headers (there are only 3) are included and the lib is linked correctly.

Please check whether you have properly included the staticlib in its settings. Second thing, you have to specify the path in which the static liv is located in Project->Settings->Link->Input. Also please check whether you have included the namespace of the first project in the second one.

Hi there.
I've been messing around with programming Windows threads in Visual C++ 2008 and I just recently noticed how much CPU my computer uses when it runs only ONE thread.
For a dual core processor running at 1.86Ghz each, on task manager it shows roughly 50% CPU usage when ONE EMPTY thread is running in a loop. 
Can anyone tell me WHY on earth it's using so much CPU and how to solve this problem?
Is it due to how I've created and called the thread? the current code I have got is:
hThread = (void *)_beginthreadex(0, 0, &TestThread, 0, 0, &uThread);
where "TestThread" is the thread function, as shown below:
unsigned _stdcall TestThread(void *)
{
while(true);
_endthreadex(0);
return 0;
}
thanks in advance,
OCrowley.

Your system contains a lot of other system processes and services running in background which ofcourse will grab the cpu.
If you want to know the time used by your process, then take perfmon.exe and add a watch on "Processor Time" on your test application. Look here for how to use it. - http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Windows_2003_Performance_Monitor.html[^]
I thought you were asking about the processor time utilized by your process. Just ignore my reply.

Jijo.

Your thread is an infinite loop, so it's probably eating up all the time there. I don't see where you end your thread, as it can't end itself.
You could put a
Sleep(500); in your thread, and you'll see the usage drop.
In reality a useful thread would probably be performing some function and then suspending itself until it's time to do that function again. While it's working, it'll use whatever CPU time it needs to complete the task.
Hope that helps.

Your thread is using its entire quanta/time-slice. As the previous poster said, put in a sleep or, even better, create a global event handle and wait on it, exiting when it becomes signaled.
Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine.

Just to add to the previous two answers: the only reason it is not showing 100% CPU time, is that it is dual core, and only one core is assigned per thread.

Hi again.
I've included the sleep functions in all threads I'm using and that's done the job! Back to 0-1% again! 
Thanks all for your great help!
"create a global event handle and wait on it, exiting when it becomes signaled."
I'll look into that as well. Thanks very much.

Hi,
How can I display an .eml message in my application similar to outlook express?
|

I could found functions that solve the problem, but there is some problem with the kind of variables, first I made a cast of the name the archive, it solve but it did't with CStringArray line; to LPCTSTR
tried:
AppendLineToMultilineEditCtrl(m_Edit,LPCTSTR(line::GetData()));
It gave the error:
Error 1 error C2510: 'line' : left of '::' must be a class/struct/union c:\Users\henitz\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\CodeDecodeCPlus2\CodeDecodeCPlus2\CodeDecodeCPlus2Dlg.cpp 108
Error 2 error C3861: 'GetData': identifier not found c:\Users\henitz\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\CodeDecodeCPlus2\CodeDecodeCPlus2\CodeDecodeCPlus2Dlg.cpp 108
Thanks
void CCodeDecodeCPlus2Dlg::OnBnClickedCode()
{
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
if (m_Code)
{
CStringArray line;
ReadTextFile(LPCTSTR("Teste2.txt"),line);
AppendLineToMultilineEditCtrl(m_Edit,line);
}
}
void AppendTextToEditCtrl(CEdit& edit, LPCTSTR pszText)
{
// get the initial text length
int nLength = edit.GetWindowTextLength();
// put the selection at the end of text
edit.SetSel(nLength, nLength);
// replace the selection
edit.ReplaceSel(pszText);
}
void AppendLineToMultilineEditCtrl(CEdit& edit, LPCTSTR pszText)
{
CString strLine;
// add CR/LF to text
strLine.Format(_T("\r\n%s"), pszText);
AppendTextToEditCtrl(edit, strLine);
}
void ReadTextFile(LPCTSTR pszFileName, CStringArray& arrLines)
{
arrLines.RemoveAll();
CString strLine;
TRY
{
CStdioFile file(pszFileName, CFile::modeRead);
while(file.ReadString(strLine))
arrLines.Add(strLine);
}
CATCH_ALL(e)
{
e->ReportError(); // shows what's going wrong
}
END_CATCH_ALL
}

why are you writing LPCTSTR(...) ?
you're not calling a new type's constructor, you're calling a cast operator from an existing type.
so change into this: (LPCTSTR)....
BTW, dunno if it's related to you issue though.
also, how is defined line ?

Locally as CString array CStringArray

I corretecd first cast:
ReadTextFile((LPCTSTR)"Teste2.txt",line);
What I can do with line
It's defined like:
CStringArray line;
But the function ask: CStringArray& arrLines
AppendLineToMultilineEditCtrl(m_Edit,(LPCTSTR) line);
Ask line like: LPCTSTR pszText

Your function is expecting a reference
Henitz wrote: void ReadTextFile(LPCTSTR pszFileName, CStringArray& arrLines)
and you are giving
Henitz wrote: CStringArray line;
ReadTextFile(LPCTSTR("Teste2.txt"),line);
an object.
Does it helps?

It gave the error:
The problem is in the signature of AppendLineToMultilineEditCtrl(). See its signature below.
Henitz wrote: void AppendLineToMultilineEditCtrl(CEdit& edit, LPCTSTR pszText)
From name, i guess, you want to add multiple strings to edit control and you're calling the function with string array, but that function takes only a string as param. I think, you need the following one.
void AppendLineToMultilineEditCtrl(CEdit& edit, CStringArray& arrLines)
{
}

If did, I have to change all code of the function.
Do you how to do ?
