hiho@ll

i'm using the simplebrowser from this site (http://www.codeproject.com/miscctrl/simplebrowserformfc.asp)
and i have the following problem:

i'm loading a website from a local file which has anchors defined to jump e.g. to the bottom of the file

using the simplebrowser i can navigate through web using google and the anchors are working!

using my local file i get "blank#anchoridentifaction" in the IWebBrowser window
??

anybody knows what could be the problem?
if i open the local file using IE the anchors are working!! but with simplebrowser they don't

is it a problem of simplebrowser itself or of the IWebBrowser interface?
may i have to set some options?

thx@ll

Hi all,

I am developing dialog based application with RichEditControl. In my application, the requirement is send the richedit control data to the printer.

if any one have the snippet for the same, please let me know.

In mircrosoft site "http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/commctls/richedit/richeditcontrols/aboutricheditcontrols.asp" i found that using EM_FORMATRANGE and EM_DISPLAYBAND messages we can attain the print functionality. But i don't know how to implement it. If any one know please let me know.

Question about MultiThreading

Hello
I am working with MultiThreading in MFC. I have written following piece in my code. But there is an error. Can anyone tell me why this error is comming.

Code is...

void CMyThreadrDlg::OnCreateThread()
{
if (m_check) // if check box is checked
{
int *i = new int(10000);
CWinThread *pThread = AfxBeginThread(getTime, i);
}
}

UINT CMyThreadDlg::getTime(LPVOID param)
{
DWORD result =0 ;

MessageBox("Thread created", "Success");

AfxEndThread(0);
return result;

}

Error is there where I have wrote,
CWinThread *pThread = AfxBeginThread(getTime, i);

Error Message is...

none of the 3 overloads can convert parameter 1 from type 'unsigned int (void *)'
Please help me

Thanks

The problem is that you pass to AfxBeginThread a member function of a class. This won't work because a member function does't not have the same calling convention as a standard function (the this pointer is passed implicitely).

Thus you need to use a global function. If your thread needs to access some member variables of the class that started the thread, you can pass the pointer to the class in the parameter:

UINT getTime(LPVOID param)<br />
{<br />
CMyThreadDlg* pDlg = (CMyThreadDlg*)param;<br />
<br />
//Do things with pDlg...<br />
<br />
//Don't need to call AfxEndThread because the thread will finish automatically when this function returns<br />
return 0;<br />
}<br />

And to spawn the thread:

void CMyThreadrDlg::OnCreateThread() <br />
{<br />
if (m_check) // if check box is checked<br />
{<br />
CWinThread *pThread = AfxBeginThread(getTime, this);  // pass the this pointer in the argument<br />
}<br />
}<br />

Also, you don't need to call AfxEndThread before leaving the thread function because the thread will automatically finishes when this function exits.

But if you want absolutely that the thread procedure be a member of the class, there is a simple solution: declare the thread procedure as static function member and pass this pointer as parameter to the thread, so that you are able to call a non-static member function of the class as true thread procedure.

class A<br />
{<br />
  public:<br />
  VOID StartThread();<br />
<br />
  private:<br />
  static LRESULT ThreadProc(LPVOID pParam);<br />
  VOID DoThread();<br />
}<br />
<br />
VOID A::StartThread()<br />
{<br />
  AfxBeginThread(ThreadProc, this);<br />
}<br />
<br />
LRESULT A::ThreadProc (LPVOID pParam)<br />
{<br />
  A *This = (A*)pParam;<br />
  This->DoThread();<br />
  return 0L;<br />
}<br />
<br />
VOID A::DoThread()<br />
{<br />
  // Do something here...<br />
}

Yes of course...
But the only advantage I see in this method is to avoid having a global function. Is there any other advantage ?

It's perhaps only a matter of design but I assume that the worker thread is part of the object and is related to its internal working. So for me, it makes sense that the thread procedure be physically a function member of the class so that it can access to other private data (which the global function can't) Anyway I don't like too much global functions in C++.

Not sure to understand what you mean. If you need to parse a string containing items separated by known constant characters, it may be sufficient to use CString::Tokenize; then you need to build a structure representing the logical content of the string, so that it will be easier then to manipulate the data. It's actually a very vast subject.
