This means your implemented version of this function differs in terms of type of parameters or in the order which they are passed. Make sure the parameter (here const struct FI_TEXT *, unsigned short, unsigned long in this case) is the same in the function definition also.

Is it possible to receive a message in a worker thread. If yes, could anyone please tell me how?
Thank you,
AJ

In MFC worker threads don't have a message queue. You would need to use a GUI thread. I'd look at implementing a simple message queue yourself. An STL queue and a critical section should do the trick.

A situation where you want to send a message to a worker thread is very rare and in my opinion suspect. Usually you would handle such situation by signalling an event which the worker thread is waiting on, or polling a volatile declared flag.
Perhaps there is a more suitable solution for your problem.
What problem are you trying to solve by the use of a worker thread and why do you want to send messages to it?
It might be a little of topic, but it could be worth reading this[^] excellent article regarding multithreading.

Having a worker thread polling is not generally a good idea, but waiting on an event, on the other hand...
I inherited some code that polled, and because the person writing it was using a sleep inside the loop, they thought it would be OK. The thread was eating around 30% of the available CPU time while it waited, until I changed it to use an event, whereupon it "magically" dropped.

What I meant, which unfortunately was not very clear, was a special case for a worker thread that doesn't wait for anything. It has a specific task that consumes 100% of the thread time slices and the thread would terminate when the task has completed. If you need to cancel the task prematurely I think it would be suitable by polling (or rather checking) a flag. But of course, there's always the possibility for calling ::WaitForSingleObject() with the timeout value set to zero, but that feels like overkill.
I was hoping for the OP to post again allowing me to pick up the "thread".

::Sleep() is one of the features that are so heavily abused and misused that I lack the words for it.
Every time anyone is trying to fix a threading issue by the use of ::Sleep() the code is almost certain to be wrong and even the design could be assumed to be erroneous.
If you haven't read Joe Newcomer's article about multithreading, which I included a link to in my previous post, have a go on it. It summarizes the common pitfalls quite clearly.
But, if I'm not mistaking, I think you already know...
Have a good one Steve

CMyListCtrl derives from CListCtrl, when someone using CMyListCtrl, he may change it's styles using SetWindowLong or ModifyStyle,I can overwrite ModifyStyle, but for SetWindowLong, I have nothing to do!
thanks

Try these events...
WM_STYLECHANGED, WM_STYLECHANGING.

You mean to hook up events? They are on the properties tab.

I am looking to write a server and a client app. I am not sure were to begin. I want to start with a chat service for windows that will connect using TCP/IP services. I am using MFC in Visual C++ 6.0. I have looked at some code on this site - but with no luck with them. I am trying to find a way to launch a server app and just connect with a client app on a network for starters.
also:
Not sure what would be best for this app-
WinSock clasess
WinInet classes
?? any other options?
??
Thanks in advance for any help.

I ran into a bug in my app and eventually figured that it was a problem in the type casting. I wrote a short piece of code to confirm it.
float tempflt = 3.8;<br />
int tempint = (int)(tempflt*100);<br />
CString Debug;<br />
Debug.Format("%d, %f", tempint, tempflt);<br />
MessageBox(Debug);
Why is it that tempint becomes 379 and not 380?

A floating point value is never precise. Sorry, that's how it goes. Try including math.h and do this:
int tempint = (int )ceil(
tempflt*100);<br />
<br />
I think that's the right syntax, but the Math class has floor and ceiling methods, which round up and down. This will round your 379.xxx up to 380.00, then you cast it to int.<br />

How predictable is a floats actual value? Because I don't think ceil will be a general solution. What about cases when I should be rounding down?
Is double more precise? I really don't need too much precision as far as decimal points goes. The range I will be in will be -32.768 to 32.767 (the range of short divided by 1000), so I only need 3 numbers after the decimal, which is why i chose float instead of double.

That's my point. I need a generic code that will accept a float and multiply by 100 and get the right integer. Without knowing how float will skew the result of the multiply operation, I won't know when ot use ceil, and when to use floor.

you always would need ceil. Just like adding .5 assumes that you need to round up.

This is because the float (or double) to int cast performs a truncated conversion. The actual answer was probably more like 379.9999999999999999 but the truncation gives a result of 379.
If you want a rounded answer then do this :
int tempint = (int)( tempflt * 100 + 0.5 );
