My dialog class' name is CSimulationDlg. So i replaced all of the CMyView with that. IS that right?

Are you sure you want to do this? What if the application is in the middle of something important (e.g., writing to the disk)?

if I do:
<br />
#DEFINE BUFF_SIZE 0x400;
ULONG *buff = null, numBytesRead = 0;<br />
buff = new ULONG[11250000];
Handle hdl = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE;<br />
...<br />
while(...){<br />
ReadFile(hndlPciAlt, buff, BUFF_SIZE, numBytesRead, NULL);
...<br />
}<br />
<br />
Where:<br />
BOOl ReadFile(<br />
HANDLE hFile,<br />
LPVOID lpBuffer,<br />
DWORD nNumberOfBytesToRead,<br />
LPDWORD lpNumberOfBytesRead,<br />
LPOVERLAPPED lpOverlapped<br />
);<br />
is a windows function.<br />
Questions:
1) So, I pass in the *buff. ReadFile() will dump the data there.
If I do another ReadFile() will it append to the end of *buff?
OR, will it overlap the data already in the *buff, if so,
how do I make subsequent writes into *buff append to the end of it?
2) Does ReadFile() automatically stick each 32-bit word out of the 1024 words it reads into each of the individual array slot of buff? So, that there will be a total of 256 array elements after the 1st call to ReadFile().
3) If "DWORD nNumberOfBytesToRead" is the min number of bytes to read, will
ReadFile() read more bytes if they are available? If so, how can you
limit ReadFile to only read the specified number of bytes?

No, it copy the data at the address you pass to the function, which is the begining of your array. If you want to append it, you'll have to increment the address (something like buff+Offset). But warning !! As your buffer is a ULONG, it means that a single increment will point to the next ULONG (so 4 bytes further). It is not a good idea in this case to use a pointer to ULONG, use a pointer to UCHAR instead so you don't have to cast the pointer to a char area in order to be able to increment only one byte.
Remember that ReadFile read data un bytes, so it can read only 3 bytes for example (and there you got the problem because it is not a multiple of 4)

ReadFile is supposed to read bytes, so it has nothing to do with 32-bit words.

No, it is the number of bytes to read. The function won't read more bytes (yup, I checked MSDN and that's strange they say minimum instead of maximum  )

Ok so I do:
<br />
#define BUFF_SIZE = 0X400;<br />
ULONG numBytesRead = 0, offset = 0;<br />
UCHAR *buff = null;<br />
buff = new UCHAR[45000000];<br />
while(...)<br />
{<br />
ReadFile(hndlPciAlt, buff, BUFF_SIZE, numBytesRead, NULL);
}<br />
how would I pass the offsetted buff address in the while loop?
(i.e. buff + numBytesRead)
Since, every time I got into the loop it will be buff then buff + numBytesRead then buff + numBytesRead + numBytesRead, ... etc.
can I:
<br />
#define BUFF_SIZE = 0X400;<br />
ULONG numBytesRead = 0, offset = 0;<br />
UCHAR *buff = null;<br />
buff = new UCHAR[45000000];<br />
while(...)<br />
{<br />
ReadFile(hndlPciAlt, (buff + offset), BUFF_SIZE, numBytesRead, NULL);
offset += numBytesRead;<br />
}<br />
Is (buff + offset) the proper syntax to increment the address of buff?
Thanks.

Yes, that's how you need to do it. And your code snippet is correct also. You can stop the loop when offset == the number of bytes you need to read.

Thank you so much for helping me clear this all up!

1) it will overwrite. To append, use lpNumberOfBytesRead to offset the buffer pointer in subsequent calls to ReadFile.
2) Yes. lpBuffer is a void pointer, so it will be handled as an array of bytes. If the endian-ness of the words you read is correct you will get an array of 256 ULONGS when you read 1024 bytes.
3) It will read exactly nNumberOfBytesToRead. ReadFile will wait until it has read these bytes (assuming you don't use overlapped I/O, but that's another story), but it will not read more than this number of bytes (this would also wrech havoc on your buffer)

Not necessarily. For example, using a serial port you can configure it with some specific timeouts and it often happens that the read function will time out before having read all the data. But of course, you can configure it with an infinite timeout also (and in that case, it will follow what you described).

Right. In any case, it won't read more than the number of bytes specified.
Will ReadFile return true if there is a timeout?
Cheers

Yes, it returns true only if an error occurs. A timeout in that case is not an error.

Just an FYI: Avoid declaring such large chucks of memory (be it stack or heap). While this array alone (which will be about 45 MB) won't cripple your system, imagine declaring 10 or 20 of them (throughout your application). Next thing you know, your application requires a full GB of RAM by itself (not good!). If possible, you should try to read a large file in smaller chunks, process the data, and read the next chuck.

Dear all,
I am very new in visual C++. I currently use the Visual C++ version 6.0. The problem I am faced on is relative the list controls.
I have a list control in report format with a grid. In that control I load data from an database. I would like to print some items in bold and at the same time I would like to change the text color and the background color of specific item. I saw for the fonts exists a function but I do not understand how to use it. Is it possible to give me an example of how I could do that?
Also I like to achieve some alignments. For example the first column has title “stock descriptions” I would like the next items aligned be based on that. Also I would like if it is possible define some as base and all below became one or more tabs right. Is possible to achieve that? (please give some code example for that if are possible).
Thanks in advance for your time.
Best regards,
Konstantinos.

Dear Sir,
I do not know why but my control does not have the properties that in sample program displayed.
Any ideas?

this is because he have created a new class and modified the drawing of Listcontrol inside that class. In your application instead of using CListCtrl as the base class of the List ctrl, Use the class in that application. There will be funtion in that class that fulfill ur requirment.

Do you need to change color from CListCtrl?

dear Sir ,
Could you help me with the adjustment of the data.
