Pointers to classes

1. I am creating an instance of class-W from within class-A function-B.
Can the instance of class-W be referenced outside of class-A function-B? I suspect it cannot and don't want to push a rope.

2. I can create an instance of class-W in the header of class-A and reference it all through class-A. For example, the following creates an instance of class Ladder which is available to all functions in class-A:
Ladder LC;

Then I can then do the following all through class-A
LC.SomeLadderFunction()

Suppose I create a pointer to Ladder like this:
Ladder *XY

How can I assign LC to pointer XY so I can say
XY->SomeLadderFunction();

Thanks

I have placed two buttons in a cstatic. I have added this static as a child control in a status bar. The buttons highlight state is not udpdated even if the mouse pointer is taken out of the button after lbuttondown. How does the same work fine if the buttons are placed in a dialog?
Thanks

These are push button types? What highlight state are you referring to?

You can open the port using CreateFile() function -eg. CreateFile("usb0001")-. Then get the file handle returned by the function and deal with it as you would read/write data from/to a file.

itoa() arguments problem

To my fellow programmers, I come forth again with another issue.

For review, I am reading from an MS Access database into a console app. In the database, I have data all being read by the console app as strings. However, there are two pieces of data I wish to convert from string to integer. Here is the code:

<br />
CoInitialize(NULL);<br />
try<br />
{<br />
_RecordsetPtr pGetInfo("ADODB.Recordset");<br />
_bstr_t strMyDB("DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=FinalDB.mdb");<br />
pGetInfo->Open("SELECT * FROM [Video];", strMyDB, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic, adCmdText);<br />
	pGetInfo->MoveFirst();<br />
	while (!pGetInfo->EndOfFile)<br />
	{<br />
	sID = (char*) ( (_bstr_t) pGetInfo->GetFields()->GetItem("Vid_ID")->GetValue() );<br />
	sTitle = (char*) ( (_bstr_t) pGetInfo->GetFields()->GetItem("Vid_Title")->GetValue() );<br />
	sFormat = (char*) ( (_bstr_t) pGetInfo->GetFields()->GetItem("Vid_Format")->GetValue() );<br />
//... the two pieces of info will read just like the above three lines<br />
pGetInfo->MoveNext();<br />
	iIndex++;<br />
        }<br />
	pGetInfo->Close();<br />
}

Now, thanks for the answer to VuNic and CoffeeAddict(##), I am supposed to itoa() the (char*) as so:

<br />
iVidTotal = itoa(sAmount); // string sAmount<br />
iAvailable= itoa(sAvailable); //string sAvailable<br />

However, eh... Unsure | :~

... when I compile under MS's IDE 2003, I get that the itoa() doesn't take only 1 argument. When I checked the MSDB, it requires three arguments, each I have no certain idea what they do. Just remember, I have the header <stdlib.h> in my header file, just to let you guys know. So, yeah.... I thank you guys in advanced.

Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Eh, well... Thanks, guys! I thank you and HAND for supplying me with widsom. I was wondering why itoa wasn't working...

As for CoffeeAddict(##) and VuNic, I guess it was a matter of a slip-up, right? A typo? D'Oh! | :doh:

It's ok - I thank you guys for your time and wisdom. One day, I might lend a hand and lend some wisdom of my own... but that's a long way off. Thanks!!!

Multithreaded appication design question

Hi,

I have a class which will be accessed by two or more threads and I wondered if what I have done is OK or if there is a better way. I have added a CCriticalSection class member which is initialised in the constructor. Then, each class method uses EnterCriticalSection and LeaveCriticalSection.

The problem is that there are 100 instances of this class and I wondered if having so many critical sections was a burden on the operating system. I thought of having a single CCriticalSection static class member but (rightly or wrongly) I figured that I would be unnecessaryly locking access to all instances and could end up with the code being locked most of the time.

I would really appreciate youe views on this. I understand the basics of multithreading but its still a bit of a mystery.

Sigh | :sigh:

TIA

Tony

It sounds like you have it right to me.

Using one critical section for all instances could definitely impact performance with only
one thread able to access any object at one time. It's still a viable solution but only if
that's really what you want or need.

I would imagine the only burden on the system is more memory/handles being used for each sync
object. 100 is relatively few. The class instances have to be thread protected so there's not
much choice anyway Smile | :)

I thought the OS was THERE for us to burden Smile | :)

Hi Mark,

Thanks very much for your reply. The code appears to work well but its good to have someone else give a quick sanity check on what I have done.

Thanks again

Which thread generate it?

Use the void pointer (LPVOID) which you pass while creating the thread.

<code>
int threadCount;

AfxBeginThread(YouThread,(LPVOID)threadCount);

UNIT YourThread(LPVOID lp)
{
int threadCount = (int)lp;
yourFunction(threadCount);
}

void yourFunction(int threadID)
{
 do
 {
  itoa(threadID,ch,10)
  MessageBox(..ch)//........Says which thread calls it.
 }while()
}
</code>

Or the simpler way is you can simple have a GlobalThreadID, that gets incremented everytime you create a thread, and you assign it the local variable that you will have in the thread function.

But, I realized vb is had limited.

Always use the correct tool for the job. Personally, I don't think .Net is appropriate for desktop applications, but if the boss says "Use .Net", guess what I'm going to do. In the end, it's all about keeping your job, and maintaining a marketable skill set. You simply have to learn it all. It's fine to be strong in one particular programming language, but you absolutely MUST be at least conversant in most of them.
