Yeah, i did. after a long struggle it terminates.

Do you have a while loop somewhere where you keep looping till a condition is false or true? If that is so, try putting a sleep inside the while loop, and see if it still takes 100% CPU.

When does exactly the 100% peak occur? After (a) the function returns or (b) while the function is executing?
if (a), what does the function do? Playing a sound? Could it be that the function somehow stuffs many messages on your app message queue and those make the app chokle afterward? If so, you can try executing the function on a separate thread and see what happens.
I think some more info on the scenario would help locate the problem.

Its occurs after the function returns. OK. I am bit more close. The moment any GUI gets displayed it shoots to 100%. If i didnt show any GUI and put a sleep for a longtime nothing happens. Even if i give a message box after the funtcion CPU usage shoots to 100%. I need to check the sound card message dumping.
Ome more, if i have a Console application doing the same thing then everything works perfectly. Same calls and same libraries. I dont know whats happening.
Thanks for ur time.

Do you draw the dialog yourself?
Sorry to dissapoint you all with my lack of a witty or poignant signature.

The problem is solved. Its because of another infinite while - some where deep in the library. Thanks to u all for ur time and help.

Greetings,
I was wondering if there is a way to play resource Avi's using directshow?
I can play an avi with directshow using the file path, but how about using a resource avi?
Thanks in advance.

... but I stacked 
I want same Doc/View to handle 2 (or more) different file types in MDI appication.
The problem is the resource string ID that you pass to CMultiDocTemplate conctructor. As I got it, you can have only on file type in that string (the extension thingy).
Example:
.htm and .html files are the same, so they can be viewed/edited with same Doc/View pair, but I have to create separate CMultiDocTemplate for each, because of that string.... So I have to manage more menus also...
So is there a way to handle 2 and more sile types with same DocTemplate?

I have multiple user interface threads. I am trying to post a message using postmessage so that all of the threads (they are all the same class doing the same things) react to the message.
The problem is that only the thread that posts the message receives the message.
What combination of message declarations and message maps should I be using so that all of the threads receive the message?
|
|
|
|
|
Since all your threads are instances of the same class (let's call it CMyUIThread) the simplest solution is maintaining a static list of all active threads and let a method multiplex message posting to all of them. Scheme follows:
class CMyUIThread: public CWinThread
{
public:
CMyUIThread()
{
activeThreads.insert(this);
}
~CMyUIThread()
{
activeThreads.erase(this);
}
protected:
static void BroadCastMessage(UINT Msg,WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam)
{
for(activeThreadsIterator it=activeThreads.begin();it!=activeThreads.end();++it){
it->PostThreadMessage(Msg,wParam,lParam);
}
}
private:
static std::set<CMyUIThread*> activeThreads;
typedef std::set<CMyUIThread*>::iterator activeThreadsIterator;
};This code is merely an indication (it probably won't even compile), but hopefully you're getting the idea: when a thread wants to broadcast a message, it simply calls BroadCastMessage, which does the dirty job of posting to all threads one by one. Regards.

Ok i see the theory. Initially I thought that I was doing something wrong and that was why only my posting thread got the message.
Would a postmessage in say the main application thread reach all of the gui threads?
Thanks for the quick response.

Would a postmessage in say the main application thread reach all of the gui threads?
No. Each invokation of PostMessage and similar functions will reach only one thread.

Hello All,
I am trying to delete the IE History completely, I have used the ClearHistory method (below), however, the History deletes, but the links are still present in the Address (dropdown) in IE6.0 ?
For example, I run my program (calling ClearHistory), after program execution completes, I open up a fresh browser (IE6), I click on the History button, and it displays nothing  , but I click on the Address dropdown, and the sites visited still exist?? I don't understand how to delete the links in the Address dropdown , any guidance is appreciated. Thanks in Advance!!

G'Day Havoc,
You should be able to find enough information in MSDN to get you going. Here is one link to a few articles
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dno97ta/html/msoautovc.asp
failing that try searching with the key words 'excel' and 'autmation'
Good luck
Richard.

I bumped into this sad example while working with a "professional" charting library that I am forced to use. This code (changed to protect the guilty) comes from the drawing code in one of the charting code's base classes
<br />
switch( dwSomeValue )<br />
{<br />
case SOME_CHARTTYPE1:<br />
case SOME_CHARTTYPE2:<br />
case SOME_CHARTTYPE3:<br />
case SOME_CHARTTYPE4:<br />
case SOME_CHARTTYPE5:<br />
{<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
default:<br />
case SOME_CHARTTYPE6:<br />
case SOME_CHARTTYPE7:<br />
case SOME_CHARTTYPE8:<br />
case SOME_CHARTTYPE9:<br />
case SOME_CHARTTYPE10:<br />
{<br />
}<br />
}<br />
So now when a custom value (chart) is added, for example "SOME_NEW_CHARTTYPE11", the "Some Other Code" code block always gets executed, because the "default:" was placed in the middle of the switch statement, with no "break;" after it! 
Now, I may be wrong here, but I am pretty sure that this is a bug in the charting class' code. What I really want to know is, can anyone provide me with an example where (mis)using a "default" in the middle of a switch statement like this is a good idea?
Peace!
-=- James.

I have what I think is an example.
I used it in a PreTranslateMessage for keystrokes. I need only certain keys to get through to the target window, so the default would cover all those unknown keys that M$ would add in the future. I obviously don't want my control to handle them.

(Note that I am not asking about uses for the "default" clause...)
If I understand you correctly, I think your example can be implemented with a "default:" clause at the end of the switch statement, correct? For example:
<br />
switch( uiKey )<br />
{<br />
case VK_A:<br />
{<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
case VK_B:<br />
{<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
default:<br />
{<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
My question specifically asks about a "default" clause in the middle of a switch, with no "break;", followed by other "case" values.
Peace!
-=- James.

That code is definitely an example of bad coding. The thing is that it is equivalent to the code where SOME_CHARTTYPE6, SOME_CHARTTYPE7, SOME_CHARTTYPE8, SOME_CHARTTYPE9, SOME_CHARTTYPE10
are ommited. I.e. the code can easily look like the following:
switch( dwSomeValue )
{
case SOME_CHARTTYPE1:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE2:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE3:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE4:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE5:
{
//
// Some Code...
//
break;
}
default:
{
//
// Some Other Code...
//
}
}

Since there is code at the end of the switch statement, my thought was along the lines of "the programmer effed-up". Since that code is called in a base class, adding new CHARTTYPE values will always cause that code to be executed (which draws an unwanted graph component).
IMHO, the code was not originally designed for what it is now being used as. I am just suprised that it is still in the library.
Anyway...
Peace!

I agree, that's some bad coding.
Here's some questionable coding i found in a widely used TIFF reading library
#define REPEAT8(op) REPEAT4(op); REPEAT4(op)
#define REPEAT4(op) REPEAT2(op); REPEAT2(op)
#define REPEAT2(op) op; op
#define CASE8(x,op) \
switch (x) { \
case 7: op; case 6: op; case 5: op; \
case 4: op; case 3: op; case 2: op; \
case 1: op; \
}
#define UNROLL8(w, op1, op2) { \
uint32 _x; \
for (_x = w; _x >= 8; _x -= 8) { \
op1; \
REPEAT8(op2); \
} \
if (_x > 0) { \
op1; \
CASE8(_x,op2); \
} \
}
while (h-- > 0) {
uint32* bw;
UNROLL8(w, bw = PALmap[*pp++], *cp++ = *bw++);
cp += toskew;
pp += fromskew;
}
not only is this totally wierd, it is also a complete pain in the ass to debug (cause you can't step into a macro). those UNROLL8 things get expanded into loops of switch statements which are actually unrolled loops themselves, or into repetitions of statements. aahhhHH!!! i had to unroll this code to use it in another app. i almost went crazy.
this really crunches a lot of code into a few terse macros. but holy crap.. it's impossible to understand.

Though I'm not recommending such exotic layouts, this is an example where having default in the middle of the switch block makes some sense:
switch( dwSomeValue )
{
case SOME_CHARTTYPE1:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE2:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE3:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE4:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE5:
{
break;
}
default:
OutputDebugString("warning: unexpected value; handling as if of the last block\n");
case SOME_CHARTTYPE6:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE7:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE8:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE9:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE10:
{
}
}This construct can help a programmer to detect dangerous defaults while still doing something reasonable with them.
