Hello everyone,

I want to study the constructor for string to see whether for an empty string it has some default storage allocated or not (for self technical interest only), and string is defined based on basic_string<char>, so I begin to study basic_string.

But in file string, there is no constructor for basic_string. Anything wrong? Where is it?

I am using Visual Studio 2008.

thanks in advance,
George

Hi Jeet_IT_in,

I am confused. CString is class for MFC, but string is STL class. Are they related? Thanks.

George

There is the constructor of std::basic_string in VC++2005.

File xstring, line 583.

__CLR_OR_THIS_CALL basic_string(has_debug_it _Hdi = _Has_debug_it(true))
  : _MyBase()
{
  // ...
}

Thanks Maxwell,

I have found 16 bytes will be allocated as default. Right?

I think along with this STL stuff, learn something on debugging. Place the breakpoint on the statement, then step in, step in, you can explore the complete available code.

Problem in Closing a file window.

Hi,

In my application i am opening a text file in one window.
In the middle of some operation / implementation i need to close this window and i need to open the same file again. When i tried to close this file (i tried with the function CloseAllDocuments()) it is deleting the contents of some structure variables related to my application. Is there any way to close this file without deleting the contents of these structures variables ???

Regards,
Sanjeeva Kumar.

Sounds to me like you answered your own question. If your document class is cleaning itself up, that would seem a fitting place to start looking. Have you implemented DeleteContents()? What about OnOpenDocument()?

WM_TIMER message never arrives [modified]

In my Win32 application, I register several window classes, each class have a different message procedure. Then, I create several windows.

I call SetTimer(m_hWnd, SPECIFIC_MESSAGE_CONSANT,1000, NULL);

As far as I know:
This should send a WM_TIMER with wParam = SPECIFIC_MESSAGE_CONSANT, with one second time delay.
To the message procedure of the window class that m_hWnd (HWND) was created from.

where SPECIFIC_MESSAGE_CONSANT = 11761

In my int APIENTRY _tWinMain()

I do:

MSG msg;
   ZeroMemory( &msg, sizeof(msg) );
   while( msg.message!=WM_QUIT )
   {
       if( PeekMessage( &msg, NULL, 0U, 0U, PM_REMOVE ) )
       {
       //my WM_TIMER dont get here
           TranslateMessage( &msg );
           DispatchMessage( &msg );
       }
       else
        {
       }
   }

WM_TIMER never arrives to the place marked above.

I tried PostMessage(m_hWnd,WM_TIMER,SPECIFIC_MESSAGE_CONSANT,NULL) ->
got exactly where expected.

Still, I must have the time delay.

This can lead to busy loop, as peekmessage returns without waiting for messages. This may not be the problem. This can use significant processor time.

Are you creating the windows in the same thread as the message loop?

I was sure that my message peeking loop was pretty standard. I can't see the problem you indicated.
Please describe it if you have the time.

Rajkumar R wrote:

I dont do any special threading now, working pretty standard so I guess I am creating the windows in the same thread.

please note: all other messages (automatic-win32-messages) arrive where I expect them.

"pretty standard" please give the standard committee link for this.

typically, in win32 samples, i seen message loop with GetMessage() in winmain like,
while( (bRet = GetMessage( &msg, NULL, 0, 0 )) != 0)
{
if (bRet == -1)
{
// handle the error and possibly exit
}
else
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
}

PeekMessage is used, if you are doing some lengthy operation and want to examine the message queue in between.

Hanan888 wrote:

just replace your message loop with GetMessage() and compare the processor usage in Task Manager.
In my HT machine, i am getting almost 0% using GetMessage(), and using your peekmessage() more than 50%, iam sure in single processor machine it will be more than 90%.

Thank you for the info.

My way was standard in DirectX samples.

if PeekMessage() returns false (no messages in queue)
I do graphic rendering.

My recent check showed that if I do PostMessage() (instead of setTimer() )I get exactly where I wanted. Still, I must use timer to acheive the delay.

That's it you are performing lengthy operation.

Hanan888 wrote:

in your rendering loop, you can find the elapsed time since last time message posted and find out the delay. And if you find that delay you actually don't need to post message, you can call the handler for WM_TIMER directly in the rendering loop.

but still i am not convinced why SetTimer() is not working.

Yes, in rendering I check the time now and calculate the delay or something like that (some other from my team implemented these stuff).

But what I need is triggering some GUI and rendering and business-logic events, orchestrating them with time delays.

And it all worked before something got funky.
All messages (PAINT, LBUTTONDOWN,...) go exactly where I need them.
PostMessage(m_hWnd,WM_TIMER,SPECIFIC_CONST,NULL); get where I expect it to go.
only SetTimer(m_hWnd,SPECIFIC_CONST,1000,NULL)
never get to the case WM_TIMER:

Do you mean you're still not convinced ?

if your task is to put a SPECIFIC_MSG into the message queue of a window then use PostMessage API instead of creating a timer with 0 time interval

thank You.

I had some experience with PostMessage() and my problem was, that the message "passed-through" all other messages, and got ahead of them in the queue or something.

Anyhow, my typical usage is to set some time interval.

You dont SEND the Timer message, you INSTALL a timer!!! You got to call KillTimer somewhere.

Try a delay in the Timer.
