I'm new to MFC and I created a SDI application. Now I added a new form and the based class is CFromView. Everytime I compile the project, I get a little pop-up window which is asking me to choose which form to load. How can I set one of the form as a default and I would like to add a button on the main to call the second form. Like we do in VB.
Thanks...

The compiler is asking you this, or your application?

Hi,
I'm creating a program that uses threads. The question is should I use the WinAPI CreateThread or the CRT _beginthreadex?
I know the MFC CWinThread, but I don't want to use MFC for this project, so I have only 2 chances.
I'll post some code and comment out why I ask you this decission.
I have a class, and I want to launch a member function as a thread, so I use this launcher function:
DWORD WINAPI ReceiveThreadProcStub(LPVOID pObj)
{
((CClass1*)pObj)->Receive(pObj);
ExitThread(0);
}
To launch the thread I use:
void CClass1::Func1()
{
.....
hReceiveThread = CreateThread(NULL,0,ReceiveThreadProcStub,this,0,&nReceiveThreadId);
....
}
So I pass the parameter "this" in order to execute the CClass1::Receive() function in a new thread. I use some CRT functions, and I have readed that using "CreateThread" may cause memleaks with CRT. But I don't know if in this case there should be memleaks, as the function I'm running in the new thread is a member of a class, so maybe this could prevent memleaks on the object destruction.
That's my question.
P.S.: Is there any method for forcing a thread to terminate (from the outside of the thread) without using "TerminateThread"?
Thanks

I strongly recommend using boost::thread, which internally uses _beginthreadex. Personally while I've been learning about threading I've spent more time worring more about the higher level details rather than about specific API calls.
Boost::thread prevents many of the common problems - for instance it guarantees that the thread is running before the constructor finishes, as well as providing a variety of lock mechanisms and providing a general way to pass in any function with any signature.
It also provides a way to ensure that a thread will finish.

that depends on the question if you use CRT code in your new thread.
the only difference between _beginthreadex and CreateThread is that CRT allocated per-thread data when using _beginthreadex.
have a look at "threadex.c" for further details.
(I don't use _beginthreadex, because I don't use CRT, I've written all functions myself so I don't need CRT.)
Don't try it, just do it!

I am writing a plug-in, which is a DLL (not exporting MFC classes). My dll exports a function, when it is called I show the MFC dialog window. Like this (I have an application class to support mfc, created by wizard):
void my_func()
{
CMyDlg dlg;
dlg.ShowModal();
}
This works. I have a problem, when I am trying to use Frame based window. I have a SDI frame and I can show it. But when I was closing it I have an exception in CFrameWnd::OnClose(), because this function closes the document and then tries to access it. I overrided CMainFrame::OnClose(), so it solved the problem (I just hide my frame). But when the host application terminates I have an access violation at CThreadSlotData::GetThreadValue(int nSlot) function at this line:
ASSERT(m_pSlotData[nSlot].dwFlags & SLOT_USED);
Anybody knows why should this happen? Maybe my dll tries to process some message, which it shouldn't? Any suggestions? Host application calls another exproted function from my dll, before exiting, but this function is not called, so I wonder how does my dll knows about termination, before host application infroms it about it?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Alexander.

Dear all Members,
Luckily, I found this site on the net. I knew you are the professonal VC programmers.Help me please.
I used MFC to make my program(related to image processing). There were some questions I would like to ask you:
1.How to display and modify the R,G,B value of a loaded image?
2.I have a 24bit bmp image.How to display the Rimage, Gimage and Bimage??(that's mean on the screen there are 4 images:RGBimage,Rimage,Gimage and Bimage).
3. How to display the R,G,and B histogram?
THank you in advance!!
Best regards,
Mr.Tran.

You can look at following places:
http://ece.unh.edu/svpal/Users/shyrokov/index.html
it has source code available. You can see how to load image and how to display, though it does not work with 24 bit images, it could help you. It also has routins for histogram calculation.
http://www.intel.com/research/mrl/research/opencv/
Is a special library dedicated to image processing and you can find it very useful.
Also have a look at libraries like:
http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/
http://corona.sourceforge.net/
Good-luck.
Regards,
Alexander.

I've (finally) decided to join the 20th century and switch to VC7. 
Does anyone know how to permanently (i.e. globally) turn off code outlining. I know you can R-click a source file and toggle it, but I was hoping to find a global setting. Thanks,

there are sooooooooo many more horrors waiting to jump u

I can imagine...
I spent (wasted) several minutes fighting VC7's desire to tabify my windows in ways that can only be described as unholy. And why did they do away (i.e. change) Alt-F3? I've got the IDE to (sorta) resemble my old favorite, but I'm sure I'll run into more problems once I start using the thing to real work.
Oh, and an attempt to convert a VC6 DLL (that uses a lot of STL) caused it to complain that it couldn't find "iostream.h" (it should be in my #include path), and a few seconds later, crashed my W2K box. First crash in years!

NO!!!! NOT ClassWizard!!!
What I really need to use VC7 for is CDHtmlDialog. I'm building a wizard GUI that's served up from a webserver, and need to get/put form data between the form and my app. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

why dont u just host the ie control in a standard dialog box?
use http post functions to communicate
it should be easy
certainly not enuff reason to install vs.net

Yes, hosting IE is easy, but I want to override 404s, context menu handling, and most importantly, get/set data from the form to my app.
I suppose I could wade thru a lot of COM calls to make this happen, but our shop will be moving (eventually) to VC7, and I thought I'd lead the way and experience the pain so the rest of my team doesn't have to.

I was reading about output iterators (write only) in stl, and the prototype shows that the * (deref) returns (*this)
Iterator& operator * ();
For a regular iterator I had interpreted *I as meaning "contents of I", and it gave back a reference to some type T stored at that iterator since the normal prototype is
T& operator *();
I am puzzled now. If I want to assign a T value x to the location of the iterator, how can I say:
*I = tval;
??
The lhs is a ref to an iterator (a pointer) and the rhs is of type T. I am thoroughly confused.
thanks,
ns

The *I = tval is correct. You can assign a object of type T to a reference of type T&

Except that the LHS is not a ref to T....
Iterator& operator * (); its a ref to an iterator....
Thanks,
ns

Sorry, I've read so fast 
You should use simply I = val
This assign val to a position described by I and increments I by 1.

If anyone knows how to send a two dimensional array to a function, I would be immensely grateful, because I have tried all sorts of ways, and the compiler (VC6) keeps rejecting every which way I try.
In case you're thinking the following code would work, IT DOES NOT!! The compiler rejects it with the message, "Cannot convert parameter 1 from 'short [5][5]' to 'short**'."
short tree[5][5];
void Func(short** treeArray);
Func(tree); Single dimension arrays are no problem. Those get accepted without even as much as a second glance. It's when you get into the multi-dimensional arrays that the compiler seems to draw the line.
Thanks for any insight.

Here's one way:
void Func( short treeArray[][5] );<br />
Func(tree);
Here's another:
void Func( int *treeArray )<br />
Func(&tree[0][0]);

Thanks for replying.
The compiler did not like the first way, it reported an error. It accepted the second way and the program worked fine!! 
Thanks for the help! I appreciate the generosity of your CodeProject spirit!
