You should create the CString (or whatever data structure) on the heap instead:
CString* pStrResponse = new CString( "My string" );
if ( !::PostThreadMessage( dwMainThread, myResponseThreadMessage, wParam, reinterpret_cast<LPARAM>( pStrResponse ) ) )
delete pStrResponse; // Only delete it if the post failed
Then in the main thread
LRESULT CMyApp::OnThreadResponse(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
CString* pStr = NULL;
try
{
pStr = reinterpret_cast<CString*>( lParam );
// Do something with it
}
catch ( ... )
{
ASSERT( FALSE );
}
delete pStr; // Make sure we delete this even if an exception occurs
}

take a look at SendMessageTimeout()
From MSDN:
SendMessageTimeout
The SendMessageTimeout function sends the specified message to a window or windows. The function calls the window procedure for the specified window and, if the specified window belongs to a different thread, does not return until the window procedure has processed the message or the specified time-out period has elapsed. If the window receiving the message belongs to the same queue as the current thread, the window procedure is called directly — the time-out value is ignored.

Hello All,
Have a question about declaring an abstract base class in a .dll. Basically, we have something like this, in a header file of a regular win32 .dll":
class DLL_API IMyClass
{
public
virtual int DoSomething()=0;
}
which resolves to something like dllimport in the client code. If the client of this .dll is another .dll, I get an LNK2001, an unresolved external for a default constructor. Why would I need a constructor, you can't use new on an interface class.
Anyway, what's the appropriate way to do something like this? Make an abstract base class available to client code, while hiding the implementation. What does the dllimport attribute really mean for a type that is abstract, anyway? Is it even relavent? Taking off the DLL_API macro thingy from the class gets rid of the LNK error.
Thanks,
aaron

If using pure abstract classes, dllimport makes no sense at all, and you can safely omit it. As for the particular problem you were experiencing, probably the client DLL is "seeing" the DLL which holds IMyClass with dllexport, as DLL_API resolves to import/export depending on the _DLL macro (I guess). The default ctor, as you correctly point out, is never explicity called, but it does get called for classes derived from IMyClass.
Going the way of exporting classes through an abstract base, omit import/export qualifiers for IMyClass and declare a couple of functions like this:
IMyClass * DLL_API CreateMyClass();
DLL_API DestroyMyClass(IMyClass *); You might be tempted to omit DestroyMyClass and use delete instead: this is a bad idea, since you're likely to run into incompatibility problems between the versions of the C run-time library used by the various components of the program.

OK, thanks, that makes sense. In this instance, most of the stuffin the .dll is created through a sort of factory, so most of the interfaces the client actually sees, he didn't get by calling new himself.

How does this work? Even for other Icons on the desktop ,what steps are involved for creating a customized MyAppIcon>Right Click>Properties> MyPopUpMenu ??
I have tried looking around, no luck thanks

Check out the msdn article # Q236312 -- I've used something similar to what's in the Driller sample to disable the rt-click menu. I think this article also shows you how to override it or create your own.

Hi, I want to receive data from multiple TCP clients, but I don't find information about.
Can me anyone help me with a link to usefull info...

There are many options to accomplish what you want. As a primary source for info on programming with Winsock, Warren Young's Winsock Programmer's FAQ[^] is an excellent site.
Also, Oz Ben Eliezer provides a concrete example of multi-client app in his article Writing scalable server applications using IOCP[^]. You might want to take a look at the code and extract some ideas from it.

I just got Visual C++ 6.0 and would like to be able to Show Line Numbers, but for the life of me I can't find where to turn that option on. Is it even possible to do so? I would hope it is. Any help with this would be great, thanks.

The only way that I know of to display line numbers is to click on a line, then look in the lower-right panel of the status bar, which displays the line number that the cursor is on. To jump to a specific line, press Alt-G and enter the line number...

Sometimes is can be, for a newcomer or visitor. When I was new, it took me a short while to properly navigate the whole site...

I'm sure there is an article in CP that describe it,but I can't remember in which part.Search this site with "systray" keyword I guess.

I am looking for an example of how to make a toolbar for the desktop, similar to the one from MS Office. I'd like for it to be dockable to the sides of the desktop if at all possible. I'm not asking someone to write me one, just wondering if there's already an article that you know of that covers this already.

I building a blocking TCP class library which I will use in my server soon.
But do I need to, or is it good to check if the SOCKET in the CTcpListener class is ok (not INVALID_SOCKET or SOCKET_ERROR) in Create(), Bind() and Listen()???
I mean it's an listening socket, is it necessary!?
In my class that connects to a SOCKET (CTcpClient), should I error check the SOCKET in Connect, Send, Create etc. Or is it unimportant?
I need advices!

Sure it is very important to check whether your socket is valid, e.g. bind() could fail if another application is already listening on a port your app wants to listen on.
I'd suggest you to check the return values of all socket functions. And since you're building a wrapper class around the socket functions you could make the wrapper functions return e.g. a bool true, if a function succeeds, and "false" if it doesn't.

Okay, thank you... I was not sure if I made to mucg error checks that were not necessary!
But okay, then I need to update my wrapper class with error checks!
