For the method one of the parameter is nctlcolor
CTLCOLOR_BTN Button control
CTLCOLOR_DLG Dialog box
CTLCOLOR_EDIT Edit control
CTLCOLOR_LISTBOX List-box control
CTLCOLOR_MSGBOX Message box
CTLCOLOR_SCROLLBAR Scroll-bar control
CTLCOLOR_STATIC Static control
Knock out 't' from can't,
You can if you think you can

Doesn't work with a button. You have to ownerdraw.

1. Tocahge the color 0f Menu bar :
use DrawItem methos
2. Initiallly changing the Color of dialog
handle WM_CTLCOLOR message
3. TO change the color of Button and Edit box
You ghave to derive the class from CButton and then handle WM_CTLCOLOR

You can do one touch setting using...
SetDialogBkColor
(
RGB(255, 0 , 0),
RGB(0, 255, 0)
);From now on any dialog that comes up will be using the background and foreground color you specified. Call from InitInstance method of the application class. This is a member function of CWinApp.

you can use derived button and use wm_drawitem of course change owner draw in property button
for background color like Nibu thomas for initially but you can use WM_PAINT and use handle dc/cedit use WM_CTLCOLOREDIT that in event wParam is handle to device context edit use HDC hdc = (HDC)wParam;

hi .. Im writing a multithreadedprogram in borland c++ builder 6 that communicate with serial port..readFile function is on a seperate thread and its called ( the thread) by
void __fastcall read_thrd::Execute() (which replace the thread function..)..so how can I write a function that reads the serial port automatically when there is something??..(how to get the serial port status(or whatever) and react to it?)
Execute() could be controled by Resume() - will resume its execution- and Suspend() - will pause and suspend its execution- and those two functions are the way to communicate with the thread from the main thread -in addition to Terminate()- , so I can write my code in execute() or in other function and then call it.
now my code it as simple as this: (Im using a butten to call resume)
<br />
void __fastcall read_thrd::Execute()<br />
{<br />
FreeOnTerminate = true;<br />
while(!Terminated)<br />
{<br />
ReadFile(Form1->m_hCom, &(Form1->sBuffer), 128, &(Form1->iBytesWritten), &osReader) ;<br />
Suspend();<br />
}<br />
<br />
if(Terminated)<br />
{<br />
void __endthread(void);<br />
}<br />
}
I need to replace it ..so I dont have to click the butten to read the comm port..can you help??please?

was asked in an interview --->
1. If the default constructor fails what happens?
2. What is Conversion constructor? Please give a small code example.
3. Why there is no virtual constructor?
thanx in advance

1. Fails? In what way? If an exception is thrown, it's the same as if any other exception is thrown. The object is left in an undefined state, and should not be used.
2. A constructor that can be used to convert between different types. It takes one argument, and allows you to typecast from the argument type to the class type.
3. Because when you create a class, the compiler has to know exactly what type it is. The virtual function pointer table is initialised as part of the constructor call, so there is no way to implement a virtual function lookup until after the constructor completes.

A constructor that accepts one argument of a different type
For e.g
CDemo d{
int m_i;
public:
CDemo(int i){
m_i=i;
}
};kumar_windows wrote: Why there is no virtual constructor?
There is nothing like Virtual Constructor.
The Constructor can’t be virtual as the constructor is a code which is responsible for creating a instance of a class and it can’t be delegated to any other object by virtual keyword means.

Create a device context for the screen (GetDC(NULL)) and call GetDeviceCaps() on it, specifying the LOGPIXELSX or LOGPIXELSY codes.

Is it true that if I post a request for receving (WSARecv/WSA_IO_PENDING),
then just wait on GetQueuedCompletionStatus for the completion until any client send some data and the receiving is finished?
|
|
|
|
|
With IOCP, you don't wait on anything (at least not in the form of a blocking call or anything like that) as the commands return immediately.
You post your commands such as WSASend and WSARecv and your worker thread(s) get called with the CompletionPortID when they complete. Thats when you call GetQueuedCompletionStatus() and process your data buffers and then issue a new command and such. Your thread(s) should never block with IOCP but if one does, the other remaining thread(s) will pick up the slack.
It's really beautiful in concept though I've never quite gotten my multithreading skills honed enough to fully appreciate it under heavy load without some form of thread lockup issues. There are a few good articles on it here at CP. There was a Win2000 system programming book (now out of print) by Jeffery Richter and Jason Clark titled "Programming Server-Side Applications for Microsoft Windows 2000
" that has some pretty good information on them in general.

Hey all,
I have created a dialog page using CFormview class. I 've created group boxes and added control buttons like static/edit boxes as my application needs in them. But aftersome inclusions,say, after 150 or so control button creations, I could no longer add any more control buttons ( not editboxes or anythingelse..)I tried debugging by starting from the scratch ( thinking that my file would have gone corrupt due to some reason) again using new application. but encountered the same problem. What could be wrong? CAn anyone guide me please?

Why so many control in a form view? I guess there is a limit on the number of controls that you can have in a formview/dialog.

I thought so...but do u know that limit.???....how many can i use in a dialog page. bcoz my application needs so many controls.
In that case, I may have to create different dialogpages and then add controls.
|
|
|
|
|
The Visual C++ dialog editor has a limit of 256 controls on a form view or dialog box. You can create more than that by creating them at runtime, although if you've got that many, I'd suggest that your form is a bit cluttered and it might be better to break it into multiple forms.

15.Types of threads?
A.) There are 2 types of threads they are 1.) Worker threads (doesn’t have a message pump) —-> usually used for background processing like searching etc.
2.User Interface Thread(which has a message pump) can be used to create windows.
16.Is it possible to share the thread stack memory to another threadNO
17.Types of Syncronization Classes?
A.) CMutex, CSemaphore, CCriticalSection, CEvent
7.What is Serialization? Which macro is to be specified in the user-defined class, which will take part in serialization?
A.) Serialization is the process of writing or reading the contents of an object to and from a file. Include the macros DECLARE_SERIAL in the .h file
IMPLEMENT_SERIAL in the .cpp file
7. What are the parameters passed for IsLoading() and IsStoring() functions?
A.) No parameters are passed to both the functions.
6. What do u mean by the third parameter in IMPLEMENT_SERIALIZE?
A.) IMPLEMENT_SERIAL(class_name, base_class_name, wSchema);
The 3rd parameter is wSchema A UINT “version number” that will be encoded in the archive to enable a deserializing program to identify and handle data created by earlier program versions. The class schema number must not be –1.

Hi
I am currently writting an installer for my project.
Instead of writting uninstaller I want to use the windows add and remove program to do it. How can I add my install informations in the "Add and remove program" list. Can you please give me some hint so that I can have a try.
