PostThreadMessage will post a message into a thread's queue.
You can retrieve it with GetMessage or else wait for messages or other waitable objects to be signaled by using the function MsgWaitforMultipleObjects.
I would not read or write any data shared between one thread or another without guarding it with a critcal section, a mutex, or some other protection.
If you only need to modify a single long value, you can investigate InterlockedIncrement, etc.

If you want to pass the variable during startup of the thread itself - you can do as below..Assume var is the varible ( it can be a structure also ) you have to pass to the thread function ..
ULONG __stdcall ThreadFunc(LPVOID pParam); //declare thread function
CreateThread(NULL, 0, ThreadFunc,(LPVOID)var, 0, NULL);
Now "var" is passed to the ThreadFunc . Inside the ThreadFunc you can retrive the void param back to the original type as below
ULONG __stdcall ClientThread(LPVOID pParam)
{
int param=(int)pParam; (or) int param=(int*)pParam ; or replace int with your variable's type...
return 1;
}
and If you want to pass the param when the thread is running you can always use PostThreadMessage() with the same way of LOVOID(pParam) ...

Can anyone help me convert this for loop:
PTCHAR Value = new TCHAR[2];
PTCHAR MRUList = new TCHAR[27];
//Get MRUList from the Registry
_tcscpy(MRUList,_T("abcdef\0"));//sample string
INT MRUListLength = _tcslen(MRUList);
//This is where I need the help
for(INT i = 0; i < MRUListLength; i++)
{
wsprintf(Value,_T("%c\0"),MRUList[i]);
//do something with Value now
}
//would delete the 2 PTCHARs but this is a sample
into something unicode compatible? I know I would need to use CharNext, I just can't figure out how.
Also I have heard of _TINT, Do I need to use that?

While it has nothing to do with Unicode, the extra '\0' is not necessary.

How about:
for (LPSTR lpValue = MRUList; lpValue && *lpValue; lpValue = CharNext(lpValue))
{
...
}

Thanks, it works. now what do I do with lpValue to get just that char, not the rest of the string?

How about *lpValue?

I need some help finding a memory leak in an isapi extension I am maintaining. This extension leaks memory at a rate of 7mb every 5 minutes. I've been thru the Code Project article: Memory(-Leak) and Exception Trace (CRT and COM Leaks) by Jochen Kalmbach and it seems to be COM objects that are leaking. His approach doesn't work well with COM.
I've tried using UMDH.exe from MS, but am not able to set gflags for inetinfo.exe.
Any help at finding these leaks and/or using umdh.exe is appreciated.

I can set the stack trace flag for inetinfo using gflags here (on a XP Pro SP2 box, running as admin). Is there an issue with permissions on your machine or is gflags just not working?

Hi All, I try to convert files automatically when I drag-and-drop then onto a removable drive. I am able to do that using a ContextMenu with the right button drag-and-drop but how can I do that with the left button Drag-and-Drop ?
Thanks for your help.

I have a task on PC, that must execute at about 100ms( 50~200ms is OK) interval to acquire data from outside target. Otherwise the data stream from outside target will be lost. I create a thread to do this. while (1) { DoTask(), Sleep(100) }. most of time it works fine, when PC is busy( e.g. open a doucumnet, or move mouse quickly ), the task won't run at 100ms interval. so I try to let the thread to be high priority. A little bit better, but still same. Is there any mechanism can guarantee this task run at about 100ms interval?
Thanks ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Why aren't you using SetTimer(100)? Unless you are needing granularity less than 55ms, it should suffice. See this article for more.

There are no "guarantees", since Windows is not a RTOS. However, multimedia timers[^] can often be good enough. Just don't use "WM_TIMER" timers - they are easy to use, but with VERY low precision.
My programming blahblahblah blog. If you ever find anything useful here, please let me know to remove it.

Thanks for you replay.
WM_TIMER is same as Sleep(), if you set timer interval as 100ms. you are not guaranteed to run at 100ms even 200ms or 500ms.
For Multi-Media timer... I 'll try.

You can use the following method...
Create a thread that will do your work every 100 ms..
ULONG __stdcall LogRotater(LPVOID pParam)// declare a thread function
And define it as below
ULONG __stdcall LogRotater(LPVOID pParam)
{
BOOL bStop=FALSE;
WriteMessage(msg,1);
while (bStop == FALSE)
{
HANDLE m_hEvent;
m_hEvent=CreateEvent(NULL,FALSE,FALSE,NULL);
switch (WaitForSingleObject(m_hEvent, DWORD(100)))
{
case WAIT_OBJECT_0:
bStop = TRUE;
break;
case WAIT_TIMEOUT:
//Do your work here ...
break;
}
}
return 0;
}
in case: WAIT_TIMEOUT you can do whatever you want to ...

Hello,
I working on FindNextFile(); and it works greate, but i is a problem.
I check for *.txt files in the c:\\ and when I find a file I take the file name and show it in my dialog window but the thing want stop, If there is only one file then I can check the file name so I don't use the same file, But if there is more than one file the funktion check and load the same files over and over.
Is there anyway to check so I don't use the same file over and over again?
Hmmm I use this function on a timer so it checks every second.
Please help me.

If you are only wanting one file:
HANDLE h = FindFirstFile("c:\\*.txt", ...);
if (INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE != h)

No I just want to read in one copy of that file.
if I have bla.txt and bla1.txt
this files will be ream in over and over.
So I need to read in them ones and if there is
a new file like bla2.txt I need to read in that file to but NOT bla.txt and bla1.txt one again.

It sounds like you might benefit from ReadDirectoryChangesW() and/or FindFirstChangeNotification() instead.

NO!,
I need to check for *.txt files every second.
And when I find a *.txt file I need to read in the the information from that file. So I need a check so I don't read in the same file one again. I only need to read the file ones. So how can I do that?
