I think you need to handle the custom draw( NM_CUSTOMDRAW) in list control.

I need small suggession on designing my application.
I have a dialog. On clicking a button on dialog calls a thread which copies some files from one location to another specified location on the local system. Now i want to show the copying status of that files in another dialog like windows os shows while copying.
How to accomplish this.
Should I call another thread showing the dialog and details from the dialog.
What is the better process.

Do you really have to spawn a new thread for this?
It depends on how you want your application to react, but you haven't said anything about that yet.
What I'm thinking about is this:
Your dialog box receives some user input that presumably is used for starting the copying process. When the user desires to start the copying process the dialog could probably be dismissed, or simply create another dialog on top of the first one to handle progress information about the copying process. Call ::CopyFileEx() and provide a function pointer to a callback that will be called for updating the progress of the copying process for each file. Inside this callback you can update a progress bar or whatever information you want to show the user.
When the last file has been copied you simply close the progress information dialog and revert to the old dialog, or whatever GUI is beneath it.
This will keep everything in one single thread, the files will be copied and the user notified about the progress.

I have created a class that encapsulates the open session, open request, send request, read response until buffers are empty and the closes the connections. When I create the first instance, everything work perfectly. I then destroy the object and create another object. This time everything seems to be working fine until the code hits the HttpSendRequest routine. At this point it hangs and never returns. All routines and parameters before the call were successful and had valid values. I have noticed a number of other posts related to this but not answers. Any ideas? pls help me

How to rasie a exception that can only be caught by __try/__except, but cannot be caught by try/catch?
In a Windows application written by VC. What time to use structured exception instead of C++ exception?
|
|
|
|

In standard C++ try/catch can only catch C++ exceptions: that is only exceptions that are raised by the C++ throw statement. Unfortunately some version of Microsoft Visual C++ (6.0 and below) do not follow the standard in this regard. This was fixed in later versions but the old non-standard behaviour can be selected with the /EHa[^] switch (not a good idea in general).
__try/__except is a low level construct and can catch any exception. Note however that with __try/__except the destructors of objects on the stack as it is unwound are not called, so this construct doesn’t play nice with C++. It will break the RAII pattern for example.
To explicitly raise a C++ exception use the C++ throw keyword.
To explicitly raise an exception (not a C++ exception) you have two options:
1. Do something wrong! For example to raise a divide by zero exception try to divide by zero; to raise an access violation attempt to access an invalid memory location.
2. Use the Win32 RaiseException[^] function.

Excellent reply. Where were you when I learned that the hard way?

But in my testing program, all kinds of exceptions including zero-dividing or NULL pointer can be caught by catch(...). Why? Does that mean we can always use C++ try/catch in C++ programs?

As my previous post indicated, the fact that you can use try/catch to catch NULL pointer references and zero-dividing indicates that:
- You're using an old and non-standard compiler such as Microsoft Visual Studio 6.
- You're using a compiler with a non-standard extension with enables this non-standard behaviour; such as the later Microsoft compiler's /EHa switch.
In standard C++ try/catch can NOT catch these exceptions!

Thank you. I'm using VC6.

I have developped a software. Now I need to make a setup file. I have used "Visual Studio 2005" to created a setup file. But it needs to install "Framework 2.0" when the user install it, it is very inconvenient.
Does anybody know some other tools to make it?
Thanks a lot.

there are plenty of tools out there, but you should be able to do a VS2005 install without .NET.

In my college course, we mainly did console C and C++ programs. Now I studied MFC and C#.NET for GUI programs but I prefer good old C++.
My question is MFC is what is used to make applications for Windows? Like small apps like uTorrent for example to common programs like Winamp or basically the programs found on Download.com.
The thing is I can't find a good book on MFC. Seems like it is "old" technology especially with the push of C# and .NET
I really want to get started making some simple applications in C++ for Windows. Is MFC the only way?

There are many class libraries, but the two you'll hear the most about are MFC and ATL/WTL. (WTL is a set of GUI classes that build upon ATL.) However, you don't have to use a class library, and in fact it's my strong opinion that you should not use any class library at all until you understand how to do GUI programming at the Win32 API level.
EDIT: Forgot to give my thoughts on uTorrent. From what I see in Spy++, it looks like it was all hand-rolled. I don't see any window classes or names that indicate MFC or ATL was used.

Unfortunately, Microsoft pushed it down so hard, that many books vanished in a very short period about 1-2 years ago. MFC seems to be a four letter word around here anymore as far as some Microsoft MVP's are concerned.
I've been trying to weed myself away from it but I'm finding it hard to give up.
For what it's worth, we just decided to base a very large and important app on MFC if your asking "who's using MFC nowadays?"
As for .NET using C++, I took a good hard look at Nish's book "C++/CLI in Action" and he makes a good effort at trying to explain it all but I was so lost toward the middle due to C++/CLI's complexity and lack of traditional C/C++ programming concepts that I had to put it down. I think I have a better chance learning the STL before C++/CLI. The little experiment with managed extensions also lends to the confusion of what is what anymore when referring to .NET from a C++ perspective.
Firestorm ZERO wrote: Is MFC the only way?
If your intent is to use C++, COM appears to be the easiest way to provide interfaces for other languages and MFC is the way to go for that if you dislike template programming first hand. If looking at template code does not make your eyes cross then ATL/WTL might be worth looking into. Mr. Dunn provides some fairly interesting tutorials on WTL here on CP.

No, of course, it isn't the only way. You can use directly Win32 API, or other class libraries. If you aren't stuck with C++, then you can use C# to develop Windows applications.

I am trying to access a C# dll from MFC application. One of this dll method, XMLDoc(), returns an XMLDocument object. When I compile the c++ project, a tlh file is created where I find:
virtual HRESULT __stdcall XMLDoc (
/*[out,retval]*/ IUnknown * * pRetVal ) = 0;
Seems this method returns IUnknown instead of XMLDocument object directly. I am facing problem getting the XMLDocument object from this IUnknown interface.
Can anybody show me a way/sample to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Probably a cast of pRetVal pointer will be harmless. Anyway, the better (and safer) way is asking the IXMLDocument interface via the (*pRetVal)->QueryInterface method.
