Thanks for all the replies! You are great folks!
For a .net managed c++ windows form application, here is the combination of your suggestions:
Button* myButtons[];
myButtons= new Button *[20];
for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
myButtons[i] = new Button();

hello,
I have a problem. the call SETWINDOWTEXT truncates the length of the displayed text to 259 characters (dialog based, ansi mode) (somebody else reported 159), i don't see any dots, also a lot of space is left on the bar. A getwindowtext will return the full original string.
I try to set a titlebar of my dialog with 3 strings which are left, center and right justified. I do this by inserting a lot of spaces between the strings
Things i can do, but don't wan't to:
- Change the active title bar font.
- Draw my own titlebar.
The following code will work on a 800x600 mode maximized dialog, but not on a 1600x1200.
<code>

Hello! I've seen some sample programs on how to use CRectTracker properly, but i only have seen it on ordinary CViews...
I noticed the problem when i used CScrollViews and when I'm scrolling..
When I scroll the view, the CRectTracker also scrolls, thats fine.. But when I scroll all the way to the right, the CRectTracker is supposed to disappear, since its coordinates is out of the view already, and thats fine... But When I scroll back to its position, i expected to see it back, but i didn't.... I want the CRectTracker to be appearing again..
How do i solve this?

Hello,
i'm programming a multithreaded communication application. Some of the communication operations are being hold in a a shared (for all threads) synchronized queue. the synchronized queue is using c++ 'CRITICAL_SECTION' handle (using the 'EnterCriticalSection' and 'LeaveCriticalSection' functions).
have three questions (actually it's two):
1) Is 'CRITICAL_SECTION' ensure FIFO threads access into the critial sections of code?
2) If not, what can i use to ensure FIFO access?
3) If yes, is there a better (less CPU time, less resources) way to ensure FIFO access to critical sections of code?
thanks

1. Yes. This first thread to request critical section using EnterCriticalSection acquires it. The others must wait until the critical section is released with LeaveCriticalSection. I have seen some articles, posts, and other submissions here at the CodeProject site arguing that a class wrapper is a good idea in case you experience an exception - the critical section will not remain locked by a thread experiencing the exception. You can also look into TryEnterCriticalSection if you do not want your threads to block for some reason.
2. You can also use Mutex if your data is accessed by multiple threads from multiple processes. IF the data is only acessed by a single process, the critical section is generally the easiest and the quickest, without getting into interlocked element usage.
3. Not really. The critical section has been the recommended element for single-process multiple-thread protection of sections of code.

Hello,
Are you sure that CRITICAL_SECTION handles the threads waiting in FIFO order?
MSDN does not reffer to it any where
could you point me to an article or something that talks about it?
thanks

I misunderstood your initial question, and thought you were trying to implement a FIFO stack or similar queue.
This is what MSDN had to say about the critical section:
Platform SDK : DLLs, Processes, and Threads : Critical Section Objects ; Last updated: April 2004
"A critical section object provides synchronization similar to that provided by a mutex object, except that a critical section can be used only by the threads of a single process. Event, mutex, and semaphore objects can also be used in a single-process application, but critical section objects provide a slightly faster, more efficient mechanism for mutual-exclusion synchronization (a processor-specific test and set instruction). Like a mutex object, a critical section object can be owned by only one thread at a time, which makes it useful for protecting a shared resource from simultaneous access. There is no guarantee about the order in which threads will obtain ownership of the critical section, however, the system will be fair to all threads. Unlike a mutex object, there is no way to tell whether a critical section has been abandoned."

Notice,
MS does not guarantee FIFO order when using CRITICAL_SECTION:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/initializecriticalsection.asp
I've tried to implement a FIFO critical section. But i think it consumes alot of CPU time. If anyone can look into it, it would be helpfull
thanks

Hi all:
Can anybody gives me a fully explanations or references of FDT(File Directory Table).
Does it has something to do with the order appearing after the DOS command "dir"?
Thanks!
|
|
|
|

With FAT16, and possibly FAT32, the order in which files/folders are enumerated is governed by how they were added to the FAT initially. IIRC, files/folders on NTFS are enumerated alphabetically.

Thanks! Then how can I retrieve the FTD for specific folder?

I'm not familar with FTD in the context of folders. Could you be more specific?

I need to do some clean up work before my MFC SDI program exits. How and where can I break into the program to do these things. I need to close a serial port in particular.
Thanks
John

Where is the handle of your COM port stored ? You can close the port in the destructor of the class that contains this handle for example.
Or you can override the ExitInstance from your CWinApp class and close it there.
Hope this helps
