You might want to look for an open implementation of memcpy and then create your own version that does the same thing but excludes the alignment stuff, which you could then do once as a separate call. I don't know if the Rotor source code includes an implementation of memcpy for use on non-Windows systems, but it might be a place to start. (I know it does have other low-level C functions that have been reproduced, just not sure if memcpy is one of them.)

Interesting! Clever idea.
I probably won't do it just because I already have a workable solution, and don't want to spend the kind of time it would require. I was really just fishing, assuming someone out there already had an optimum portable algorithm. For my application, the maximum numRepeats will only be on the order of a few hundred, so the looping won't be severe; for sure won't justify the amount of time I'd spend writing an optimum algorithm. See http://www.codeproject.com/tips/optimizationenemy.asp?df=100&forumid=683&mpp=50&select=2267125&msg=2267125[^]
Thanks again.

I took a quick look at the source. It doesn't do any alignment; just the straight-forward
*(target++) = *(src++);
kind of thing. I suppose they're relying on the compiler to recognize the pattern, and substitute the appropriate idiom for memory copy on the selected platform. I guess if the compiler is smart enough, that's a good; well, a *portable* way to do it...

Ahh...I didn't really look at the source other than to verify that it was actually a memcpy implementation. Oh well...

Hello!
I am trying to change the width of the scrollbars of certain controls in a project I am developing.
It is funny enough, that if I am changing the Appearance settings in XP, the size of the scrollbars are changing.
I was trying to use the GetSystemMetrics Function. If I override it be the use of the Detours lib, and with passing the intended width, the sizes of the scrollbars remain as specified in the "Appearance settings".
How can I programatically change the Appearance settings for only one program? As it seams not working with the GetSystemMetrics
Thanx
Zoltan

The MoveWindow and SetWindowPos unfortunately does not solv the problem as that will make the arrows of the scrollbar to look squashed.

Standard scrollbars use the system metrics settings.
Scrollbar controls, however, are windows, so you can use
MoveWindow()/SetWindowPos() to resize them.
If you want control over the size, use scrollbar controls.

Thanx Mark!
That is true definitely! However - it seams I did not describe fully my problem.
If I do MoveWindow or SetWindowPos, the width may change but the arrow will become flat - I may change the width of the scrollbar from 16 to 32, but the height of the arrow will stay 16 and it makes it look "squashed", and that what I'd want to avoid.

which scrollbars are you referring to? The ones subclassed with CScrollbar? /not part of any control/

That's what you'll get if you want Windows to draw the control for you.
You may want to implement your own control

Standard scroll bars are the ones you get when you specify the WS_HSCROLL/WS_VSCROLL
style(s) when creating a window. Without access to an HWND for those, you can't change
their size.

Mark!
Thanx for the help.
Are you familiar with the Theme or System metrics stuff?
As I said I have overrode the getSystemMetrics function. I was catching the functions for SM_CXVSCROLL, SM_CYHSCROLL, SM_CYVSCROLL,SM_CXHSCROLL. I could see it returning different values (the values as changed in the Display properties).
I have changed these also, but the widths of the scrollbars were as set in the Display settings.
I mean, why is that, if changing the Appearance at the "Display Properties", the appearance of the scrollbar changes, it increases its width and so on, but it is not possible to be done programaticaly.
Or if it is possible how to do it?

The project can recognise CString, but when I went to use CDatabase I got the error
CDataBase db;
do stuff with db....
'CDatabase' : undeclared identifier.
Do I need to include something? I thought since the project has MFC support it would automatically recognise CDataBase.
thanks,
sb

I'm not sure why you think the compiler would automatically recognize any
unknown types...
You probably need to include afxdb.h

Did you understand the article? I'm not being nasty, that is a serious question. The short answer to your question is: Rebasing only affects memory allocation in that it can "sometimes" create a larger non-fragmented chunk of free memory by forcing DLLs to load into a different memory location. A larger chunk of contiguous free memory means a larger allocation request can be filled. That's the gist of what the Rebase section of the article says. If that still doesn't make sense, you need to do some learning on how processes and their support DLLs are loaded into memory, and how memory allocation is performed.

Hello Friends,
I am using win32 application. In that I hide the Application on Dialog Initialization and put the icon in the taskbar. I am using the Context menu in taskbar. Ans Want to show the window when someone choose the Exit option of the menu. But it show me the strange Error.
Error code = 0x000005B4 which means "This operation returned because the timeout period expired. "
I am using following code
LRESULT CALLBACK MyDialogProc(...)
{
ShowWindow(hWndDlg,SW_HIDE);
switch(message)
{
case WM_TASKMSG:
if(lParam == WM_RBUTTONDOWN)
{
POINT pt;
GetCursorPos(&pt);
TrackPopupMenuhmenuTrackPopup,NULL,pt.x ,pt.y,0,hWndDlg,NULL);
}
break;
case WM_COMMAND :
switch(LOWORD(wParam))
{
case ID_Exit:
if( ! ShowWindow(hWndDlg,SW_SHOWNORMAL) )
{
dError = GetLastError();
}
}
}
}
I search lot on google for this error but it show that this type of error comes with database(SQL Connection) only.And not getting any solution
Please Help me if u know the solution. Thnx in advance

First, don't hide a window in the first line of a dialog proc. It will be called many times for many reasons. Also, I think calling ShowWindow could involve a recursive call to your dialog proc, which immediately hides the window again.

Hi. Thnx for you reply.
Can you please tell, Then Where to put the ShowWindow() Funcion to hide the Window.
Because when I use it at the statring or ending of WM_INITDIALOG it shows me
different errors as follows
WM_INITDIALOG:
{
if( ! ShowWindow(hWndDlg,SW_HIDE) )
dError = GetLastError();
...
...
if( ! ShowWindow(hWndDlg,SW_HIDE) )
dError = GetLastError();
}

Do you know what ShowWindow() returns? Your code assumes that if it returns a zero value, there must've been an error. That's an incorrect assumption.

I haven't seen your code to create the dialog, but your problem could be that it's a modal dialog, which makes specific assumptions about when the dialog is shown and hidden. If you make a modeless dialog and its template doesn't specify that the window is visible, then the dialog will remain hidden till you want to show it.
