Are you wanting read access (in which case you could just use an LPCTSTR), or write access? If the latter, then you've just put in a dependency on MFC in your shiny new class...

Couldn't CString::GetBuffer() be used to "pass" the buffer to the other thread?

hmmm well its definatley the latter,im trying to update the string with new information obtained from my server,but becouse im stuck in my "shiney new thread class" i cant seem to write from my inBuffer wich is in my thread class to my varible..
this is very annoying coz i cant use functions like UpdateData(); from my new class either.
thank you for your speedy response & any further help would be much appreciated.
thanks again

Sounds like you have a CString in your dialog class which is being used by DDX_Text. If you want to update the data, you could use SetWindowText instead, which means you'd need the window handle for edit control instead of the CString.

Hi,
One of my beta testers told me about preparing a build with debug statements being logged in a text file. I'm trying to find a fix for a bug with Exchange Server that I cannot reproduce and I guess that being able to see in a file what happened would be tremendously useful.
I do not, however, know anything about that sort of thing... Anyone can help me out?
Thanks!

An alternative that requires almost no work is to use OutputDebugString to write stuff to the debug window. MFC has TRACE() which does the same, but does nothing in Release builds. OutputDebugString will generate output in all cases.
The next step is to go to the sysinternals web site[^], and get hold of DebugView.
You can run this tool on any windows machine and it lets you catch and save to file the debug output, not just for a single app, but on a system wide basis.
I use it to examine some of the trace output from our COM+ server apps.

You can consider placing ASSERT condition or VERIFY condition in your codes if you haven't. There are many articles on this topic in codeproject.
ASSERT is only available in debug mode. VERIFY however is in both cases.
Many bugs can be spotted by having ASSERTS around.
hope this helps

I did place ASSERTs everywhere in the code but I wanted something that could be saved as a file. In that case, it was an infinite loop so the ASSERTs would have been useless but they are useful in some other cases...

not much on google for this one...
I'd like to remove the doc/view from our application, no real need for it.
anyway.
if I do something like :
{ ...
CreateNewChild( RUNTIME_CLASS( MyOtherFrame ), IDR_BIGTESTYPE, ::LoadMenu(hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_BIGTESTYPE)), ::LoadAccelerators(hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_BIGTESTYPE) ) );
...}
when opening a new window, and doing this for other frame class, it's working fine; I don't keep the returned value from CreateNewChild since the frame and the data gets deleted
Is there's a way to iterate the framewnd to close them ? other than iterate the child windows and closing them manually. for example if I want to do a close all window, or close document.
Thanks.

What I've done before now is that the CMainFrame class maintains a CArray<> of CFrameWnd pointers which are children, and the OnCreate()/OnDestroy() handlers for the child frame post messages to the main frame window to register/unregister themselves...
Steve S

say that again ? that you kept an array on CFrameWnd or that the CMainFrame(CMDIFrameWnd) already keeps it ?
thanks.

In CMainFrame I had an array of CFrameWnd*, which was updated on receipt of a user defined message. The user defined message was posted when my child frames were created or destroyed. Saves iterating through via EnumChildWindows, as it only encounters child frames, not things like toolbars and the like.

thanks, I tried it on a sample project, and it's working nicely,
Will see how I can integrate it into my main application.
Thanks.

Hi there 
I have written a program that takes a single frame from a video camera and writes it to a .bmp file the problem that I am having is that the .bmp is upside down. The pixel data for my image is contained in a buffer defined as:-
DWORD* pBuffer;
I have used DWORD as the image is 768 * 576 * 32 bit.
Can anyone help with a method of rearranging the DWORDS in my buffer to correct the image. I need it to display top down, not bottom up.
Thanks
Dave

Might be simpler than that. At some stage, presumably, you have a header for the bitmap you're writing. You might want to check the sign of the height. ISTR that sometimes some handlers object to -ve height, and invert the image. Of course, I might be talking through my hat, but it won't hurt to check...
Steve S

I have tried that method, I am specifying the whole bitmap structure but if I make the height negative I get an error saying something like the height needs to be greater than 0 when you try to open the bitmap in an image editor.
Thanks
Dave

Are you just writing the buffer directly to the file? The BMP format internally stores the image data upside down (I recall that there was actually a reason for this, but I can't remember now).
Anyway, you since you know the number of rows and the size of each row, you can just allocate a temporary buffer the same size as your original buffer, then copy rows of data from the first buffer to the temporary buffer. Something like this:
int rows = 576;
int cols = 768;
DWORD* destbuf = (DWORD*)malloc(rows * cols * sizeof(DWORD));
for (int row = 0; row < rows; row++) {
memcpy(
destbuf + (row * cols),
pBuffer + ((rows - row - 1) * cols),
cols * sizeof(DWORD)
);
}

Cheers Mike I'll give that a go today. Tried to use memcopy yesterday but kept gettin exception errors and bombing out into debug. Im learning so I dont have any expirience with the debugger I havent a clue what it all meant. I'll see how it goes.
Thanks
Dave

Steve S is right. Get your hands on the BITMAPINFOHEADER structure located in your buffer, then negate the biHeight value. From the MSDN:
biHeight
Specifies the height of the bitmap, in pixels. If biHeight is positive, the bitmap is a bottom-up DIB and its origin is the lower-left corner. If biHeight is negative, the bitmap is a top-down DIB and its origin is the upper-left corner.
If biHeight is negative, indicating a top-down DIB, biCompression must be either BI_RGB or BI_BITFIELDS. Top-down DIBs cannot be compressed.
[edit]For clarification, Michael is also right. His solution will work, it just depends on what you really want to do.[/edit]

Hello,
How can I open a browser without address bar ?? Which line argumets ??

IE supports the following command-line switches:
-new
-remote
-k
-nohome
-embedding
-channelband
-e
-v
I'm not sure which, if any, would affect the address bar.
