Task Manager doesn't tell you about the memory your program is consuming. It tells you the amount of address space that is in use. How much of that address space is currently being used by your application is different.

Regardless of what the task manager is telling me, my GDI functions calls perform very slowly until the window is minimized and then restored. I'm guessing this relates directly to the number and sizes of DIB sections that my application is using.
I have however managed to resolve the problem. A call to SetProcessWorkingSetSize() after a memory intensive routine signifcantly lowers the value in the task manager and increases the performance of my app. Though I still don't quite understand what is happening.

Can you explain about your program about handles
|
|
|
|
|
Thats another problem I am having, please see the thread below. At the moment task manager is telling me there are 75 GDI handles, but I can only count 20 - 25. There is no memory leak since the handles are being deleted as soon as they are no longer required. But in some instances the handle count does not decrease after deleting a handle.

I see previous your message are you sure you have only HRGN hRgn
|
|
|
|

I have many handles, mainly HDC, HRGN and HBITMAP. I am convinced that the task manager is not giving true values. It claims that I have 30 GDI handles before even creating a window, that is from a break point on the very first line of WinMain.

For Mem Usage I have been this problem but I dont know your problem is it or no.If you use SelectObject on your code you have a return value,what happens for it?if you use of CreateDC or CreateCompatibleDC you must use DelectDC maybe it seems that its easy but its important for each create you must use of DeleteObject.
---------- ---------- ----------
For second question if you think Task Manager information isnt true I think we have a function that it says about graphic handles on a process.

Some of those handles will be being used under the hood. For example GDI is used to paint your applications windows by the system and thus handles will be used.

Dear all,
i'm pretty new in VC++, can anybody please explain me what is the "callback function" ?
and how we can use it? for what purpose?
thanks in advance,
cheers

A “callback” is a concept not necessarily related to C++.
In fact it is a function you write to be called by somebody else to notify your objects about his own activity with them.
The typical example is the WINDOWPROC of a windows application: you write it to be called by the system to notify you about the activity the system (or the user, through the system) is doing over a window you create.
In C++ libraries this details are typically hidden in a class implementation and exposed through virtual functions you can “override” by derivation, or by more complex mechanism like delegation, events, etc.

A callback function is not exclusive to C++. That said, in C++, you can have pointers to either datatypes or to functions. When you have a pointer to a function, you can pass it to an object/function that takes such a pointer and it can use it to call that callback function when it needs to.
Basically, imagine it this way: I have a function Q() that is a specialized function I want called whenever the data in object A is in a certain state. Q() is passed to A via A's constructor, and each time a method on A is called, the state is checked. When the state is what I want it to be, Q() is called via the pointer that A has. This allows me to have several functions with the same signature as Q() that may do things differently (e.g. if Q() was a logging function, I may have one function that logs to a CSV file, and another that does so in XML). I can switch which callback is used at runtime without making any code changes. (Just one example).

first of all, thanks for the explanations
i quote from the wikipedia :
"A callback can be used as a simpler alternative to polymorphism and generic programming, in that the exact behavior of a function can be dynamically determined by passing different (yet compatible) function pointers or handles to the lower-level function"
does it mean that we can use callback instead of polymorphism and vise versa? and that both methods (callback and polymorphism) have actually the same philosophy?
cheers

Yes and no. Can either be used in the place of the other? Sure. Will the problem domain be more complicated if you choose the wrong one? Yes. Basically, you need to look at what you are trying to solve and evaluate the cost-benefit of different techniques. Callback functions are not a replacement for polymorphism (nor vice versa), just another option in the toolbox.

What's the plugin a plugin for? VS? Office? ...

the plugin is for VS. you can say that i have to use that plugin in an application written for VS

I have a class containing these methods/members :
class CWorkerThread
{
public:
CWorkerThread(const HANDLE* hJobSignal);
~CWorkerThread();
private:
void run();
static DWORD WINAPI StaticThreadFunction(LPVOID lpParameter);
const HANDLE* m_hJobSignal;
};
The constructor creates a Thread and passes it the StaticThreadFunction to execute. As parameter it can now pass either a pointer to run(), or a the this-pointer. Wich is better ? I really see no big difference, but i fear i might miss some important point here.
Thanks !

I favor passing a pointer to 'this'.
Inside the static function, you cast the LPVOID to a 'this' pointer and then call the virtual function 'Run'.
Therefore, if someone dervies from your thread class, the static function will always call the 'Run' of the derived class. I am not sure of the behavior if you pass in the Run pointer directly, from the base class, not sure you would get the Run of the dervied class to execute.
My static thread runner functions typically have two lines in them:
DWORD WINAPI CWorkerThread::StaticThreadFunction(LPVOID lpParameter)<br />
{<br />
CWorkerThread* pRunner = (CWorkerThread*)lpParameter;<br />
return pRunner->Run();<br />
}
It really is that simple!
Any sufficiently gross incompetence is nearly indistinguishable from malice.

I have a combobox in which i have values
when i select a value and press button add, I add it to the list box
but I want to control this insertion i mean if i insert a value the second time he must don't accept it.
how can i do that
thank's

Check whether value is already in the CB.

Hi,
Use combox->FindStringExact(...) Api of the CB. if it is -1 then add the string if it gives any nuber greter than 0 then there is a string.
Good Luck.

I think that you don't understand my question
i'll give you an exemple
my combo 0
1
2
3
when I select a value "0" for example and press the button ok it'll be added to the list. I want that when I select this value again it 'll not be added to the listBox because it's already exists.
i hope that my explanation is more clear
thank's
