Beaten to it again!
Add-Ins are easy, though there are (as ever) a few funnies to contend with (toolbars, grrr.  )
Seriously, both sound like excellent ideas to me, and if there's any way I can assist, please feel free to ask. 
Hopefully I'll be publishing my own VC add-in (The Resource ID Organiser Add-In for Visual C++ 5.0/6.0) on CP very soon.
Then...SourceSafe add-ins look challenging....

I need to program a simple 3 octave piano keyboard using MFC.
I may paint bitmap with keys and handle clicks, then use PtInRegion.
But I would rather use buttons.
Is there any easy way to form MFC CButton with region shape (SetWindowRgn).
Well, you may have better idea.

This may help. You will need your button controls to overlap, though. That shouldn't be a problem, since they won't paint over each other.

hi.

thanx.

i think i answered this one a whiles ago but here goes again...
the task manager (and the system) doesn't actually know if your app is running normally or hung unless it processes messages its message queue ... now if your app does a huge calc that effectively stops it responding for a while windows will assume its hung and tell you so in the tm ... that may be correct in most cases but it may be wrong
if the huge calc is safely spawned off into another thread and the ui thread is running normally things will be cool and the gang ... otherwise maybe not

hi lauren.
thanx alot for replying but stil haven't solved my problem. infact i have to find out how windows track this thing that message in the queue is not respondind. i mean there has to be some API function which tells window that rightnow application is in NOT RESPONDING mode. there has to be some code or way and i m very much interested in it. coz this not possible that windows come to know all by its self that certain application is not responding or its time allocated to its thread is over n the task assigned to it is neither over nor safely spawnwd off to other thread.
i m again asking u to please tell about that API function which which keeps track of such matters or send me code which i could embed in my code.
regards
Haroon

Actually lauren gave the same response I was going to. If a process is not responding to messages then it is by definition not responding. Windows would tell this by virtue of the fact that it tries to interact with each process, not because it calls on an API function to tell it what it already knows - that it is trying to interact with a child process and it is not replying. This can mean it is busy, or hung. So you need therefore to attempt to interact with the process in question and see if it replies. Is the process of your creation ? The easy way would then be with copydata.

You could do a SendMessage (you'd need a window handle) in a separate thread, record the "ping" time, and have your checker app's main thread query the worker thread's ping time. If the time is undefined (eg: < 0) after a time "t", you could unsafely assume the target process is compute bound. I think Win9x/NT uses t == 20 seconds.
Hope this helps.

Looks like Norm and Andrew have provided a couple of excellent solutions to your problem. Imho, SendMessageTimeout() appears to be the way to go - it's a supported API call that essentially does what I suggested in my hack.

The official way according to Matt Pietrek is to get main window of handle of of the application concerned and then call:
where m_nTimeout is usally set around 5000ms
if (!SendMessageTimeout(hWnd,WM_NULL ,0,0,SMTO_ABORTIFHUNG ,m_nTimeout ,&dwResult ))
pTask->SetTaskStatus(TRUE);
else
pTask->SetTaskStatus(FALSE);

NO NEED TO YELL ( or post twice ). I'm sorry, I don't know the answer, but I just had to say that. Do you want it for Win2K only ? I only ask because Win95/98 doesn't bring up a process list, I'm not sure if NT4 does ( I've not run it for years ).

Try this code. You must have the hwnd of the process you're checking. The easiest way to get that is to call CreateProcess to spawn the app.
BOOL AppIsFrozen(HWND hWnd)
{
BOOL bFrozen = FALSE;
DWORD dwResult;
LRESULT nResult = ::SendMessageTimeout(hWnd, WM_NULL, 0, 0,
SMTO_ABORTIFHUNG | SMTO_BLOCK,
5000,
&dwResult);
if (nResult == 0)
{
if (dwResult == 0)
{
bFrozen = TRUE;
}
}
return bFrozen;
}

Use EnumProcess () or use ToolHelp 32 functions

I searched the whole MSDN, but I did't find the solution.
I need C++ functions which do the same
as the VB functions:
Trim
RTrim
LTrim
Hex
thanks in advance
|
|
|
|
|
CString::TrimLeft, and CString::TrimRight.
If you're not using MFC, you can always walk through the array, then use strcpy to make a copy of the bit that does not have leading or trailing spaces.
Assuming Hex allows you to specify a number in hex, its 0x, as in 0xFF = 255.

Hi
Can I use the SetStdHandle(...) function to redirect standard output stream (std::cout) to a windows socket opened by the function socket(...) ?
Thanx.

Hello, i need somoene to help me. 
I have created two dialog boxes, in the first one i have inserted a list ctrl in style report where i put some items with checkboxes associated. I want that when i click in an item that the item selected goes into the second dialog box with always a list ctrl.
i hope that i've explained clearly my problems, tks

Assuming one dialog is the parent of another, use GetParent() to get a pointer to it, and then put a function in the second dialog that inserts the item as you would like, and gets sent the string to insert.

I'm sorry but i'm just a beginner and i don't understand everything.to get the pointer to the parent dialog must i do like that :
m_panier.GetParent();
But if it i did is right how can i now put a fonction in the second dialog that gets the item, and gets sent the string to insert
Here a piece of my code which allows to display the index item selected (in the first dialog) in another Edit box (in the second dialog)
void CDThin::OnItemchangedListthin(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
NM_LISTVIEW* pNMListView = (NM_LISTVIEW*)pNMHDR;
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
CString strText;
CListedeprixApp* h_myApp = (CListedeprixApp *)AfxGetApp();
strText.Format(TEXT("Item index: %d\r\n "), pNMListView->iItem);
UpdateData();
m_Log3+=strText;
h_myApp->ListeDePrix() += strText;
UpdateData(FALSE);
*pResult = 0;
}
BOOL CDPanier::OnInitDialog()
{
CDialog::OnInitDialog();
// TODO: Add extra initialization here
CListedeprixApp* h_myApp = (CListedeprixApp *)AfxGetApp();
m_panier = h_myApp->ListeDePrix();
}

in my dialog,i added a toolbar on it,and one button(ID_MYBUTTON) with code:
CMyDilog::OnMyButton()
{
m_bFlag=!m_bFlag;
}
CMyDialog::OnUpdateMyButton(CCmdUI *pCmdUI)
{
pCmdUI->SetCheck(m_bFlag);
}
but why can't the button's state be changed between pressed_state and unpressed_state?
Thanks in advance.

I don't recall how this works, but it's in PRetranslateMEssage. If you download my article "GDI+ Brushes and Matricies", I know for sure I had to impliment the fix you want there. The problem is that your OnUpdate function is not actually called.
I've just checked the code, and I put this in pretranslatemessage, before the call to PTM:
UpdateDialogControls( this, TRUE );
and this function as well:
LRESULT CGDIPlusBrushesDlg::OnKickIdle(WPARAM, LPARAM)
{
CMenu* pMainMenu = GetMenu();
CCmdUI cmdUI;
for (UINT n = 0; n < pMainMenu->GetMenuItemCount(); ++n)
{
CMenu* pSubMenu = pMainMenu->GetSubMenu(n);
cmdUI.m_nIndexMax = pSubMenu->GetMenuItemCount();
for (UINT i = 0; i < cmdUI.m_nIndexMax;++i)
{
cmdUI.m_nIndex = i;
cmdUI.m_nID = pSubMenu->GetMenuItemID(i);
cmdUI.m_pMenu = pSubMenu;
cmdUI.DoUpdate(this, FALSE);
}
}
return TRUE;
}
This means you need to put
ON_MESSAGE(WM_KICKIDLE, OnKickIdle)
in the messagemap of your CPP file ( it's near the top ), and
afx_msg LRESULT OnKickIdle(WPARAM, LPARAM);
with the rest of the generated message map funtions in the header file. I think that's all, if not, I'll have another look. So you don't need to download my article after all. Don't feel that not downloading it means you can't give me a five when voting starts for the .Net competition though   ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

thank you for the people who replied to my question but i will state again my problem together with my code
"I have this Date and Time display in my window. Im using the Ontimer() / SetTimer() routine to update it...
but the problem is the "second" display's interval is not consistent.
It is not actually noticeable but when you compare it with the computers clock you can see it
ticking ahead sometimes. what can i do to solve this? "
here is how my program looks like
LONG xxxxxx::OnPageChange(UINT lPageNo, LONG lValue)
{
.
.
//Timer
SetTimer(1, 400, NULL);
.
.
}
void xxxxxx::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent)
{
TimeDisplay();
CWnd::OnTimer(nIDEvent);
}
void xxxxxx::TimeDisplay()
{
SYSTEMTIME osTime;
GetLocalTime(&osTime);
//YEAR
.
.
//MONTH
.
.
//DAY
//HOUR
//MINUTE
//SECOND
if(oldtime[5] != osTime.wSecond){
oldtime[5] = osTime.wSecond;
//Display second here//
}
}
i tried making a new thread and call TimeDisplay().I created a while loop inside the TimeDisplay to repeat the process of displaying the clock until the thread ends. Thats the only i know to update the clock(since i cant use the WM_TIMER here or i can?) i just dont know how. The bad thing is that the CPU resources being used reached 100%.
whats the problem with my program? or what can be done to fix this? thanks to everyone who replied and will reply to this question. sorry for taking your time... i really appreciate your help....
