I've implemented a dedicated thread that periodically tryes to send a zero byte packet to the client/server. It works good to check the status of the remote client/server but, if the physical connection is broken (cable disconnected) it doesn't works! The send operation doesn't fail ! How can I detect the physical disconnection ? Are there some specific settings for the CSockect object ? Thanks a lot ! Re: CSocket and connection check valikac23-Jul-04 5:06 valikac 23-Jul-04 5:06  I am not familiar with CSocket. In raw winsock, one solution is via select().

The situation is the following: I have a menu function that wants to create a thread using ::CreateThread (NULL, 0, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE) ThreadAnalyse, &m_stThreadArg, 0, &dw); The ThreadAnalyse Function is a static global function, not a member of CMainFrame. The m_stThreadArg is a member of CMainFrame and contains 4 pointer to the CMainFrame Object and 3 pointers to other data. However it appears that once the menu handler function has returned the whole computer hangs up and runs very slowly. If I place a break point in the Thread function the function is not called for a very long time. Once the function returns the computer returns to normal operational conditions and timings. Does anyone know why this is? regards, RichardS "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proff programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

Kuphryn Re: Thread Creation in CMainFrame RichardS23-Jul-04 5:34 RichardS 23-Jul-04 5:34  The function is an afx message handler from a menu. void CMainFrame::OnFileOpenstream (void) is the prototype.

Do you know where the MSDN documentation for this is? There should be no reason for that to change the behavior of your thread unless there is some problem in your code. No it is not documented that I know of since I don't believe it is any type of feature.

All propertypages contain comboboxes and editboxes for the user to fill in. I would like to have all the propertypages validated [B]as soon as the Ok button of the dialog is pressed[/B]. This means probably that i can not place validation code in DoDataExchange(), because this function is called everytime when a tab is switched. The Address Book of Microsoft which can be found in 'Programs->Accessories' also uses this kind of validation. It validates the pages as soon as OK is pressed, not between switching tabs. How can i do this?

When I insert items , every new item enters at the top , so if I enter 1,2,3,4 in list control one by one it will look like 4 3 2 1 although i choose the Sorting to None. But I want that every new item should be entered at bottom and i also dont want sorting , sequence in my case is very important. So how to insert every new item at the last of list ctrl. to have such kind of result 1 2 3 4 where 1 entered first , 2 secondly and so on.

I can change the cursor the first time. but the second change does not happen until the first change is called once again. Please advise. thanks a million , see below. ps. CopyCursor doesn't seem to work. this is inside a function that is called every 4 seconds: at the end of 1 second change mouse cursor from normal to appstarting hCurCopy = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_APPSTARTING);<br /> SetSystemCursor(hCurCopy,OCR_NORMAL); later in the code at the end of 3 seconds change cursor from appstaring to normal hCurNorm = LoadCursor(NULL,IDC_ARROW);<br /> SetSystemCursor(hCurNorm,OCR_APPSTARTING) Re: SetSystemCursor in VC++ erkanina22-Jul-04 22:17 erkanina 22-Jul-04 22:17  Use following codes //...

They say there is an 'error message concerning 6883 in the MFC42.DLL'. Anyone seen this before? What can I do about it? We haven't got an NT machine to try it on so I am a bit stumped at the moment! Any ideas? Ali Re: My Program will not install on Windows NT 4 Arjan Schouten23-Jul-04 0:04 Arjan Schouten 23-Jul-04 0:04  The DLL on your customers machine is out of date, it can't export the function with ordinal 6883. Try supplying your customer with a newer DLL or beter yet, link your program statically so it won't need the customers DLL! Arjan Re: My Program will not install on Windows NT 4 LittleYellowBird23-Jul-04 2:33 LittleYellowBird 23-Jul-04 2:33  Thanks, for the help - sounds like one quuick fix and one more permanent fix. I've never considered linking any differently - I will look into it. By the way, what are the pro's & con's of linking statically & dynamically? Any problems I should look out for? Thanks Again Ali
