Did you set up some synchronization mechanism to assure that
CloseHandle(handle);
handle = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE;
is atomic?

Before running CloseHandle() I terminate those threads.
Still I'm sure most of you guys know about the function that checks validity of a pointer to be in valid memory space. I've used it so many times and I now I just forgot that and I can't find it in MSDN crap.

Never used it myself and I don't think I'll ever need it. If you follow the simple rule I gave you, it's totally unnecessary to use it. I would even say it is bad practice because you don't have a "clean" code.

AfxIsValidAddress() is a wrapper around IsBadReadPtr() and IsBadWritePtr().

If you're worrying about having an invalid handle between checking for INVALID_HANDL_VALUE and closing it, then why aren't you worrying about the IsValidHandle routine returning TRUE, then the handle becoming invalid?
As Cedric has been trying to tell you until he's blue in the face, you NEED some sort of synchronisation (eg Critical Section) if you can open close these from different threads.
Also, if you have multiple threads all able to close a handle, then your program is badly tangled already...
Good luck,
Iain.

I think I said in another post that this handle only is closed by one thread and after closing all other threads. Thanks for the effort Cedric  . I noticed a mistake of mine. while critical section is not necessary because never two threads use it synchronously but I noticed that mistakenly I terminate the thread and after that I try to close handle that has been created within that thread .No wonder! silly  !
thanks all you guys, you are really helpful

You need to refer the API documentation,
The API that returns HANDLE to system resource has different behaviour on return values, for example CreateFile returns INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE while CreateEvent returns NULL on failure, so checking the handle on CloseHandle depends on the API that created the Handle.
Are u looking for _CrtIsValidPointer, _CrtIsValidHeapPointer for pointer validation. AfxIsValidAddress (MFC)

Hi everybody,
i like to display a Loading-Dialog right into the view, not as Modal.
So i call "Create" from the Dialog-Class and also OnInit()
The dialog will be drawn on the view, but the other controls on the view are redrawn over
this dialog.
Which handler or function does i need to override for that the dialog will be drawn at least,
for the reason that the dialog is painted OVER all other controls.
Big thanks for your help

play around the Z-order of the dialog window (SetWindowPos)
|
|
|
|
|
I'll try it, thanks
|

I don't think it will work to change the Z-order. The Z-order is updated according to the user activity, a click on a control will bring it to the front.
You can have a dialog in the view window using standars MFC features. Instead of deriving your view class from CView, derive it from CFormView. The CFormView embeds a standard dialog template.

I have plotted a graph in a Picture control. Now I want to click the mouse on top of some points of the graph and then get the coordinate of that point. Can anyone help? Many thx~~~

Actually mouse click notifications (for instance, WM_LBUTTONDOWN) provide pointer coordinates.

s Mr.pallni says absolutely true..i already checked it..

Have u checked on the picture control
|
|
|
|
|
Adding to CPallini, u may need to subclass the picture control to get the mouse events
|
|
|
|

I dont know how to get the coordinate of the picture control. So finally I subtract the offset of the top left corner of the picture control. This method may be silly  but can achieve what i want to do

Aaah, yes Command Line Programming. Now everything is clear

Command Line Programming, why didn't I realize before? My bad!

Since you don't explain further what do you mean with 'Command Line Programming', I suppose you're talking about Console applications, i.e. character oriented ones. Now what has to do a window control, like the progress bar, with a character oriented application?
