yep. find_if just iterates over all items till it finds one that matches. this is fine, if your collection isn't sorted. but if it is sorted, a binary search is much much faster.

I am programming with ATL 3.0, building an application where I need a main exe server, launching multiple exe server instances (of the same exe) through CoGetObject... To be clearer, I need to have server1.exe and multiple server2.exe process loaded, one for each COM component that is started through CoGetObject.
Is there a way to do this? The code generated automatically creates me only one server2.exe process where all the instances of my COM component are hosted. I read articles about people having problems getting a single instance, but me, I'd like to do the exact contrary!

When server starts, he registers own class objects at such manner:
hRes = _Module.RegisterClassObjects(CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER,REGCLS_MULTIPLEUSE);
You can change REGCLS_MULTIPLEUSE constant with REGCLS_SINGLEUSE to make one object instance per one server process.
With best wishes,

Hello,
I have developed an Activex control with VS.NET C++ using ATL 7.0. This control contains two properties, four events and two methods. It works satisfactorily on Activex test container
But, in VB.NET When I put my control on the form, 1. it takes much time to display(Though it doesn't contain any drawing code) 2. VB's properties window displays my control's properties successfully for the first time(Though it displays property's value as junk), but after running test project, and coming back to vb's form containing my control and when I try to see property's value, I can see only one property only.
My other property's name simply vanishes from the list of properties.
What could be wrong. What shall I check. How do I correct it.

Hello,
here's my Problem:
if I use the "old" filestreams declared in fstream.h, I get an "Old IOStreams Deprecated" warning. I'd like to use the new ones from the "fstream"-header, but cannot find how to set the old protection flag or something similiar. I need that to keep the file readable from other Applications in some cases.
I also need to prevent reading by other Applications in other cases (e.g. Virusscaners), so the old possibility of sharing or protecting external access is needed.
thanks for your answers.

I have an excellent reference on iostreams at home, if you can provide a further explantion of the old syntax that is missing, and what it does, I'd be happy to have a look for you.
Conversely, people wrote code using the old iostreams, is there any reason beyond the warning that you're loathe to do the same ?

Here the exacter description:
One of the old syntax fstream Constructors:
fstream (const char* szName, int nMode, int nProt = filebuf::openprot )
with nMode e.g.
ios::in for reading files,
ios::out for writing files.
and nProt e.g.
filebuf::sh_none Exclusive mode — no sharing,
filebuf::sh_read Read sharing allowed.
the new fstream classes simply don't support the "nProt"-Flag in any constructor (as far as 'I know).
I'd like to rework my code in terms of the new streams to be able to use it with future Compiler-Versions. I heard with the next .Net's Update old fstreams may no longer be suported.
Moreover my Emloyer wants me to change it.

I'm afraid that my reference does not even mention this sort of protection mode. The basic_filebuf object still exists though, but openprot does not exist within it.
I'd suggest that your only real option is to create your own streaming class that is derived from iostreams and provides the functionality you're looking for. I have some articles here on CP that would help.

I had this same problem ages ago. IIRC, these old flags were a Microsoft-specific thing and were dropped because they're not part of the standard (!)

In a full control, how can I do something like HINSTANCE hInst = _Module.GetModuleInstance() with ATL 7? I know CComModule is replaced, but can't find related info. TIA.
|
|
|
|
|
try this:
<br />
_AtlBaseModule.GetModuleInstance();<br />
not tested it, but it should work (based on help, also succesfull compilation). Problem is that _AtlBaseModule is somehow missed in my Intelisense
Hope this helps

hi,
I've developed one ATL EXE server com. This server contains 2 threads.
The main thread (lets call it T1) will do following tasks:
1. Create second thread ( and this I think should be called T2) using "CoMarshalInterThreadInterfaceInStream".
2. Receive input from client application:
HRESULT CMainThread::ReceiveClientInput(BSTR AnyValue)<br />
{<br />
<br />
EnterCriticalSection(&cs); <br />
m_isFire = true;<br />
LeaveCriticalSection(&cs);<br />
<br />
return S_OK;<br />
}
T2 on the other hand continously (every 2 seconds) check for m_isFire value and fire the event:
void CSecondThread::CheckFlag(void)<br />
{<br />
<br />
EnterCriticalSection(&cs); <br />
<br />
if (isFire == true ){<br />
Fire_NotifyAllConnectedClients();<br />
isFire = false;<br />
}<br />
<br />
LeaveCriticalSection(&cs);<br />
<br />
}
Now, when event fired from above COM method, there is no client receive this event 
I guess I've missed something in my code since I'm quite new in using VC++.
Thank u very very much in advance . Any advice, help and suggestions strongly aprreciated.
Regards,
newbie

Have not a clue what it can be from this small excerpt, maybe, you can check, if you initialize the COM in your thread (first thing usually forgoten) on the beginning of your second thread - say CoInitializeEx(...); as a first method of the threadproc and CoUninitialize() as a last one.
Next thingie - the fact that in the second function you checking isFire instead of m_isFire I consider as a typo, but...
Another thing, yes, the interface should be marshalled through CoMarshal... but check carefully what pointer you are using in the Fire_NotifyAllConnectedClients - the pointers you are using there should be unmarshalled (opposite function to CoMarshal...) before you will use them.
I do not work much with exe servers, so I can give you only these 'universal' tips, but maybe it will help you. Don't hesitate to contact me if necessary or need more explanation

hi, thankx a lot for ur reply ! 
For ur info I've used a comarshal :
STDMETHODIMP CIBMSSchedule::ExplicitInitialize()<br />
{<br />
HRESULT hr =::CoMarshalInterThreadInterfaceInStream(IID_IInternalExec, static_cast<IInternalExec*>(this), &m_pStream);<br />
<br />
if (FAILED(hr))<br />
{<br />
MessageBox(NULL,"Could not CoMarshal", "CCom control", MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR);<br />
}<br />
<br />
StartThread();<br />
<br />
return S_OK;<br />
}<br />
<br />
void CIBMSSchedule::PreCommand()<br />
{<br />
<br />
HRESULT hr = CoInitialize(NULL);<br />
if (FAILED(hr))<br />
::MessageBox(NULL,"Bad Carma","ReceiveThread",MB_OK);<br />
if (FAILED(::CoGetInterfaceAndReleaseStream(m_pStream, IID_IInternalExec, (void**)&m_pIInternalExec)))<br />
{<br />
::MessageBox(NULL,"Bad Carma, CoGetInterfaceAndReleaseStream","ReceiveThread",MB_OK);<br />
}<br />
}
ExplicitInitialize() called by clients at client's initializion process; and PreCommand() called when this application is about to send event to every connected clients.
And by the way Im not understand what u mean by "the pointers you are using there should be unmarshalled"; however below is the code for Fire_NotifyAllConnectedClients :
VOID Fire_OnReceiveSchedule(BSTR str)<br />
{<br />
T* pT = static_cast<T*>(this);<br />
int nConnectionIndex;<br />
CComVariant* pvars = new CComVariant[1];<br />
int nConnections = m_vec.GetSize();<br />
<br />
for (nConnectionIndex = 0; nConnectionIndex < nConnections; nConnectionIndex++)<br />
{<br />
pT->Lock();<br />
CComPtr<IUnknown> sp = m_vec.GetAt(nConnectionIndex);<br />
pT->Unlock();<br />
IDispatch* pDispatch = reinterpret_cast<IDispatch*>(sp.p);<br />
if (pDispatch != NULL)<br />
{<br />
pvars[0] = str;<br />
DISPPARAMS disp = { pvars, NULL, 1, 0 };<br />
pDispatch->Invoke(0x1, IID_NULL, LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, DISPATCH_METHOD, &disp, NULL, NULL, NULL);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
delete[] pvars;<br />
<br />
}
I will email to u the application together with program flow for ur reference. Is it possible to put attachments here ?
Thanx a lot in advance.
Regards,
newbie

Goood morning there 
OK, I think I get it. It wasn't too difficult. But first, what I meant by the "the pointers you are using there should be unmarshalled". I saw a people making code like that:
pseudo
MarshalInterface
start thread
Unmarshal Interface to member m_spCorrect;
use completely another member like m_vec.GetAt directly from the new thread (therefore need marshalling but not used on this pointer).
But this was not your case.
Your problem is hidden in, say unrelated, method CIBMSSchedule::Run. Here you have somewhere about line 111 command Sleep(5000); and this is that one causes your problems. How marshalling works is, very shortly, that if he needs to transfer call from thread A to thread B, (s)he/it uses a old plain window messages. Then all threads in STA (you are using) must have the message pump to work correctly.
Then replace your Sleep(5000) with something like:
<br />
MSG msg;<br />
while( ::PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_NOREMOVE) )<br />
{<br />
BOOL bRet = ::GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0);<br />
<br />
::TranslateMessage(&msg);<br />
::DispatchMessage(&msg);<br />
<br />
}<br />
and then your code started to work for me (Event received at VB client).
Some another notes:
- consider to somehow remove the Sleep design pattern .
- I see that you are adding thread for each client, but didn't see the remove mechanism (might be my fault, didn't check it too carefully )
- hint: I believe (as I don't work with exe components), that for remove this marshalling pains, you can use CoInitializeEx(NULL,COINIT_MULTITHREADED); for free threading. Then it behaves like normal threads and no need for marshaling (only between VB and VC). Then you don't need to carry about, as the _tWinMain already contains the msg pump doing that.
Hope this helps & enjoy

hi,
thanx geo. U advice is works. But somehow when I run the application it took a lot of CPU (99 %). I think its b'coz of PeekMessage. Is there any replacement for PeekMessage ?
For ur info i've try to change ur code to prevent this problem, but i cant send message to clients.
Thanx a lot geo. U really help me a lot
Regards,
Din Krop

You are welcome
This CPU burning is probably again done by the Run function and some more around -> if you minimize it to the smallest possible workflow you get something like:
while( MayIContinue() )<br />
{<br />
if( fire ) {fire_it();};<br />
}
if there is nothing to fire, your thread just dance in the endless loop, and this causes the CPU cycles burning. Better alg. is to have a event, signalled when there is something to fire - then where you set the fire variable to true, you will do SetEvent(hEvt) instead.
in the threadloop you will do something like:
<br />
while( AtlWaitWithMessageLoop(hEvt) )<br />
{<br />
fire_it();<br />
}<br />
this will cause that the thread will be in suspended mode, until the event is not set, or some message arrived.
This will probably introduce some major changes in your app design, but don't worry to ask/look here around. I guess it is described ot this site somewhere how to avoid such a things. Anyway, look carefuly on the event flags (CreateEvent), the bManualReset flag will be important for you to set correctly probably to FALSE, depends on design... But this is out of scope of this thread 
Hope this helps

Hello,
I'm writing an IE toolbar hosting an activeX control. I used the Class Wizard for getting the interface of the ActiveX : I get 2 classes and they inherit from COleDispatchDriver. One for the methods and the seconds for the events.
I need now to handle the events send by the activeX, and I don't see how to do it.
Has anybody an idea or an example ?
Thanks,
Dezz.
ps : sorry for my poor english.

Hi,
I have recently moved over atl attributed programming and
created a ActiveX Control which is used in a vb 6
application, but when i call a method, like this:
++++vb code+++++
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim a As Long
a = 1
Me.Chh1.test a 'Chh1 is a atl object
End Sub
++++ atl code++++
STDMETHODIMP Chh::test(LONG tt)
,vb say that variable "a" has a type mismath error. This
atl project has used attributed programming in atl wizard.
Then I created another atl project which didn't use
attribute programming, every thing is ok. It's so strange!
How can I correct this problem?
Thanks,
Jeff Xi.

I would like to know how to implement a schedule in VC. I am familiar Java than VC. In Java I did use Timer and Thread. But in VC, I dont know.
Please drop to me some line if you know!
Thanks

What sort of schedule ? Windows works on a message pump, the timer message is WM_TIMER. www.msdn.microsoft.com is the online help that will tell you all you need to know about it.

Maybe, if it will fit into your needs, you can use integrated scheduler installed in windows. Good starting point for this is ITaskScheduler, you should probably find it in index of MSDN. There is a whole documentation, so you can examine it.
