Trigraphs, sequences of three characters (introduced by two consecutive question marks), allow C programs to be written using only the ISO Invariant Code Set. You can use them in C source files with a character set that does not contain convenient graphic representations for some punctuation characters.

Sinhronisation of allocation and freeing of memory

I've got a problem with sinhronisation of a function which is called from several threads. The function do no use static variables. And there is no connection variables between threads. In debuger the aplication crashes on new or delete operators inside the function. In internet I've read that these operators are already synhronized. Please help me to find solution of the problem.

Are you using a multi-threaded variant of the C runtime?

I am not realy know what you mean with "multi-threaded variant of the C runtime"? If this is project settings in VC6.0 on page "Code generation", I have for "Use run-time library" defined "Debug Multithreaded DLL" and "Multithreaded DLL" for realize. If I am wrong please tell me in detail what did you mean.

I found the problem, there was "static" variables inside functions.

How to trace MFC command? SOLVED

Can someone please direct me to a source of information on how to trace / debug standard MFC commands. For example File.. Save.. I am using "MFC Internals" for a guide but cannot see how to debug the command message flow.
Thanks for reading
Cheers Vaclav

Update
I have overridden OnCommand in main and MDI frame and can trace the command flow from the main menu to the MDI OnCommand. Now how do I get / step into base class? F11 does not respond.

Thanks Mike,
The article does confirm what I got from the book. What I am still missing is how to get to the base class using debug steps.
I must be missing some options in my VC 6.0 because F11 just does not do anything visible and the program is stuck in last debug point. I will try just source code of the MFC base class next.

Up to a point, I think at the Win32 level, there is no more visible "code" to step into.

After raking a short brake from coding I came to the same conclusion.
It always amazes me how taking breaks from many “problems” gives person a different outlook on things. Was that covered in some famous book?
Thanks for your help.

Feature Pack 2008?

I would like to use the CMFCtoolBars to replace CToolBars, so I am guessing I need to integrate the Feature Pack to my MFC application. Do I have to change all the base classes(CStatusBar, CWinApp...etc) to those from the feature pack if I only wanted to change the CToolbar, or can I change CToolBar only and still get it to work?

Thanks

Re: Number of interactive logged on users on Windows Vista

21-Jul-09 3:18

I created a test application using LsaEnumerateLogonSessions and LsaGetLogonSessionData, which displays the number of interactive logged on users. It works fine on Windows XP, but it displays 2 interactive logged on users on Windows Vista, even though I have only one user: the Administrator.

Can anyone tell me why this happens?

Thanks!

Is the other a legitimate user, just not logged on?

I modified the application so that it displays also the user name. It's the same user...

So it's showing Administrator twice? When I use that function on XP, it returns 6 sessions, even though I am the only one logged on to my machine. I don't have access to a Vista machine to see how it behaves.

What do NetWkstaUserEnum() and WTSEnumerateSessions() return?

Eikthrynir21-Jul-09 5:12

Re: Number of interactive logged on users on Windows Vista

21-Jul-09 5:12

No need to check. I think I known what's happening. I modified the application to display other information too. The SessionId for each occurence of MyAdminUser is different: it runs both in Session 0 and Session 1 and that's why it is shown twice. On Vista (I guess Window 7 too) I only have to skip counting the user running in Session 0. Thus, I get the correct number of interactive logged on users. As I have seen, on Windows XP there is no need for this trick.

I consider this problem solved now.
But there is something strange that happened while I was testing on my Vista machine: I had MyAdminUser and MyLimitedUser both logged on; my application showed 3 users (Session 0 (MyAdminUser), Session 1 (MyAdminUser), and Session 2 (MyLimitedUser)); I logged off from MyLimitedUser and immediately ran the application; it still showed 3 users; after almost minute, when I re-ran the application, it correctly showed 2 users: MyAdminUser (Session 0) and MyAdminUser (Session 1). What I am trying to say is that it showed 3 users for almost a minute... Confused | :confused:

The strange thing is that I could not reproduce the problem. I tried to make it happen again, but I couldn't. I wonder why Windows needed so much time to update the number of interactive logged on users...
