Application crashes on calling settimer from a thread function - C / C++ / MFC Discussion Boards

Every COM object needs to be identified uniquely on a machine. For this the compiler generates a UUID (Universally Unique Identier) to distinguish one interface from another.
For eg: how would the system identify the uniqueness of IUnknown. For this it binds a structure having the GUID with IUnknown

[
  uuid(ba209999-0c6c-11d2-97cf-00c04f8eea45),
  version(1.0)
]
interface INTERFACENAME
{

}

so if you have an interface call IMyIUnknown replace IMyIUnknown with INTERFACENAME and now this interface has a attached UUID with it so that it can be uniquely identified.
Hope I helped...

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

Thanks AnShUmAn,

I think uuid is used to uniquely identifies an interface or coclass, but I am quite confused why you give an interface name replace sample here? Does uuid have some special usage in the situation of interface name replacement?

This is specific to MS and COM, it is not general C++.
By 'attach' they mean the compiler generates the COM specific code needed to associate the generated uuid with the class as a type.

...cmk

The idea that I can be presented with a problem, set out to logically solve it with the tools at hand, and wind up with a program that could not be legally used because someone else followed the same logical steps some years ago and filed for a patent on it is horrifying.

Could you provide more information about what do you mean the generated code which does the association please? Smile | :)

Im trying to convert a string to a Const Char* How do I do that? Im using Dev and this is ther error i get:

cannot convert `std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >' to `const char*' for argument `1' to `int system(const char*)'

This way!

string StrSysCommand = "cls";
system( StrSysCommand.c_str() );

that doesn't forbids you to interrogate the documentation...

the std::string class (which is a specialization of the std::basic_string template class) has a c_str()[^] member function...

Application crashes on calling settimer from a thread function

manoharbalu5-Sep-08 2:05

I have created a dialog to display message on my application for 5 seconds after which the dialog closes. I created the dialog using the following code before which I update the display message text for the dialog

sDispMsg = (CString)"Setting up the Design Condition";
CProgressDlg pProg;
pProg.DoModal();

The above code is within a function. When I call the function it works fine. But when I call the above function after creating a thread using the code:

if( bAteRunThreadActive == FALSE )
{
htAteRunThread = CreateThread( NULL,0,(LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)tExecuteAte,(LPVOID)NULL,NULL,&dwAteRunThreadID );
if( dwAteRunThreadID == NULL )
{
AfxMessageBox( "ATE Thread Creation Failed" );
return;
}
bAteRunThreadActive = TRUE;
}

Note that when I am creating the dialog inside the thread function, my application crashes at the point after I call the Settimer in the below code. When I call normally outside the thread in a normal function it works fine. Also when I did a step by step debugging it works fine in the thread function also.

Pls provide some solution.

//My Dialog code
BOOL CProgressDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
CDialog::OnInitDialog();

// TODO: Add extra initialization here
GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC_DISPMSG)->SetWindowText(sDispMsg);
tID = SetTimer(1,5000, NULL);

return TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control
// EXCEPTION: OCX Property Pages should return FALSE
}

void CProgressDlg::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent)
{
// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default

/* int nRet = 5; */

KillTimer(tID);
//EndDialog(0);
CDialog::OnCancel();

// DestroyWindow();
// AfxGetMainWnd()->UpdateWindow();

//CDialog::OnTimer(nIDEvent);
}

Whow, you've managed to make a lot of conceptional errors.

Perhaps you don't need a secondary thread at all.
If you would create a modeless dialogue instead of a modal one, you would be able to continue doing what you should in one single thread.

But if you think that you do need a secondary thread, you'd better read this[^] before you continue. In your case it's essential that you do read the article.

Main issues are:
- don't do GUI stuff from a worker thread
- SetTimer is considered GUI stuff since it is a member of CWnd
- If it was not out-commented, AfxGetMainWnd() would return NULL

you can use the thread.sleep and loops to get similar functionality

When I run a VC++8.0 Project I got a dialog box which states "The application failed to initialize properly(0xc0150002). Click on OK to terminate the application.". If I terminate the application, the following message is displayed in the output Window:

LDR: LdrpWalkImportDescriptor() failed to probe C:\Program Files\Delta3D_REL-2.0.0\bin\dtUtild.dll for its manifest, ntstatus 0xc0150002

How to resolve the error?

Note:
This error occurs only under Debug mode.

wait, you're compiling your project in debug mode, aren't you ?

compile in release mode, and see if it's better. The Release Mode should be linked to dtUtil.dll (not dtUtild.dll).
