I think you need to check the notes at http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=6922[^] for pre-requisites and redistribution requirements. Please note also that this is a Visual Studio question rather than C++.

try statically linking to the C-Runtime, ATL, and MFC...

-Change C++/Code Generation/Runtime Library from /MD to /MT.
-Change General/Use of ATL/ to "Static Link to ATL"
-Change General/Use of MFC/ to "Use MFC in a static Library"

TrackMouseEvent

I am trying to use TrackMouseEvent with a button on a dialog box created using the Resource Editor. I have tried the various sample codes examples available here on this site and on the internet.

I get some results, but not all. I keep coming up with references to subclassing the button in the literature, yet I do get WM_MOUSEMOVE & WM_MOUSELEAVE messages. When I try to subclass the button, I get an error which I interpret to mean that the button is already sub classed.

Isn't the button automatically subclassed when you use the template generated by the Resource Editor? If not and the button has to be subclassed, how do I do this.

Thanks,

Barry

I hope I chose an appropriate forum. Why does the test code below build in VS2010 as C code but not as C++ code (linker errors further below). And what's needed to make it compile as C++ code. Thanks. - Vince

C++

#include <stdlib.h>

__declspec(dllimport) int __stdcall SetEnvironmentVariableA(const char *pName, const char *pValue);
__declspec(dllimport) unsigned long __stdcall GetEnvironmentVariableA(const char *pName, char *pValue, unsigned long nSize);

int main ( int argc, char **argv )
{
	char szValue[32768];
	SetEnvironmentVariableA(argv[1], argv[2]);
	GetEnvironmentVariableA(argv[1], szValue, 32768);
	return 0;
}

Got it! 'extern "C"' needed. I missed that when tracking down the defines and typedefs in WinBase.h.

Put declarations inside

extern "C" { }

C & C++ uses different name mangling.

About pthread scheduling (C programming)

I am a student at the american university of engineering (SFAX, Tunisia) .
I am having a project about "simulating a thread scheduler with pthread" .
Really , I found several problems :
1- Is the thread lifecycle is the same as linux thread lifecyle ?
2- Can I implement my own scheduling algorithm or I must use the explicit scheduling of pthreads like (set_sched_param, ...) ??
3 - Is there a way to trace process scheduling (graphically) using C ??

Please reply asap , it's an urgent project !
Thanks Smile | :)

The OP is asking about POSIX threads, I believe.

Probably I didn't get you. Linux provides POSIX threads. That is you have to use pthreads for multithreading on Linux. In other words, don't bother about Linux threads, let's be focused on pthreads.

Quote:

I suppose you have to implement your own scheduling algorithm. After all that's the title of your project. However you should ask to your tutor.

Quote:
3 - Is there a way to trace process scheduling (graphically) using C ??

Since you are providing the scheduling then yes, there must be a way (that is your scheduling code should provide the necessary info to build the graph. You probably have to use a library for the graphical interface (have a look at this SO question[^], for an overview).

Thanks , but is there any well-known way to schedule with pthreads ? (any sample code) ?

CPallini24-Jan-14 3:12

Of course there are well-know thread scheduling algorithms (using pthread is just a technical detail), and Google is your friend[^].

Copy and paste is no substitute for really understanding a subject. Especially at college.

Don't use sample code, read up on the problem you are trying to solve, read up on the api you are gong to use, and design the thing yourself!

If not you will be a crap engineer.

-edit--

Actually be a crap engineer, It means more and better paid contracts for us proper engineers.

Hello. I don't know where to put this question so I am choosing this one (closely related).

I have a softphone. I want to setup a custom event in windows (may be playing a ringtone in WM player or something) whenever I get a call on this softphone. I need it because softphone is basic and doesn't have a ringtone feature.

I could use other softphones but was wondering if there exists such a way, may be spy++ or something(i don't know)? Thanks for any pointer.

This world is going to explode due to international politics, SOON.
