Are you using double buffering ?
If you don't, this may be the answer.
Just render to a back buffer then swap at the end of OnDraw.
SwapBuffers(dc.m_hDC);

I haven't used OpenGL for a long time, but,
Your dialog box is a Window like any other, you can possition and draw on it by getting a handle to it and using the standard CDC (or one of the helpers).
For OpenGL I would make use of a Frame Control, get the hwnd and show pictures of dancing girls in grass skirts. If thats your sort of thing.

I use SetCharFormat function in my project and I use SetWindowText to output my text. When I run my programm on systems Windows 95/98 this function can print symbols with code upper then 127, but when I run it on system Windows 2000, it does not work. Can anybody help?

i have a dll containing a function which creates a listview and returns the handle for the listview. i have another function which hooks into the window procedure of this newly created listview so that it can change the background color of individual items. It uses SetWindowLong to trap the window procedure. Am i doing it right ?
The sample code is as below:
listviewhandle=alMakeListView(AWPARAM_PTR awParam,long x ,long y,long width,long height);
void WINAPI EXPORT alListChangeItemColor(HWND listviewhandle)
{
glPrevWndProc = SetWindowLong(listviewhandle, GWL_WNDPROC,(LONG)(WNDPROC)DoNotify);
}
LRESULT DoNotify(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
switch(msg)
{
case WM_NOTIFY:
{
LPNMLISTVIEW pnm = (LPNMLISTVIEW)lParam;
switch (pnm->hdr.code)
{
case NM_CUSTOMDRAW:
{
LPNMLVCUSTOMDRAW lplvcd = (LPNMLVCUSTOMDRAW)lParam;
return(CDRF_DODEFAULT);
if(lplvcd->nmcd.dwDrawStage == CDDS_PREPAINT)
return CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW;
if(lplvcd->nmcd.dwDrawStage == CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT)
{
COLORREF crText;
if(!(lplvcd->nmcd.dwItemSpec % 3))
{
crText=RGB(255, 0, 0);
lplvcd->clrText = crText;
lplvcd->clrTextBk = RGB(0,0,0);
}
}
}
default:
break;
}
}
}
return CallWindowProc((WNDPROC)glPrevWndProc, hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam);
}
Can anybody tell me what is going wrong with this code ? Been trying this for some time now and can't figure it out.

Do you still want to be able to resize the window?

Hi,
I am writing a UDP server using MFC. I have a class CConnection which is derived from CWinThread. But since CConnection is to help communicate with each client, where do I add sockets to this class so that I can communicate with the client? Where do the methods OnReceive() and OnSend() go?
cheers!

Hello, the codegurus around the world.;)
I'm wondering how long you write the code as the professtional programmer?
You had better make your job simple first.
1) Try to create the single client and server program.
2) And then, create the server to accept the mutilple user.
3) Then, add the code to download the target file in the server.
If you don't understand how to write OnSend or OnReceive of CAsyncSocket or CSocket,
mutiple thread program makes no sense at all.
Besides, CAsyncSocket and CSocket class uses WSAAsyncSelect(...) to insert the notification message to the target windows.
This means that you don't need the thread code, and create some struct object with the linked list working for the mutilple socket.
Please, don't send me your email to ask your individual questions.
Have a nice day!

I have recently been given the task to insert the Multilanguage support in my application.My application is already working in the English language , after inserting the Multilanguage support , my application would be able to work for the Chinese, japnees, urdu languages ( extensible in the future).
This Multilanguage support will cause it effects only on the GUI level. My development envirment is in pure VC++. For all windows os.
Right now I have few clews ( directions) in which I can proceed on.
1) I should make a sepreate .rc file for each different language.
2) I should make a sepreate string handle file for each different language. And then I will use only those string handle file which is to be used.
3) If there exist a component then I should try to use that ( but I do not know the component name).
I require any kind of suggestion/information regarding it .
THANK YOU

I need to create a DLL from C++ and call some of its functions from VB/VBA and Fortran.
While creating the DLL I used/tried the /Gz option and also ' extern "C" '
The code below causes runtime error 453 although the function has been
exported as int ExtractInt(CString &Line)
Declare Function ExtractInt Lib "MyDll.dll" (ByRef Line) As Integer
// 'Line' is a CString and will be modified by ExtractInt
Function TestExtractInt() As Integer
Dim ValInt As Integer
Dim Text As String
Text = "12 Jack 3"
ValInt = ExtractInt(Text) // Should be 12
TxtRet = Text // Should be " Jack 3"
TextExtractInt = ValInt
End Function
Questions:
a) Where can I find documentation that describes how to call DLLs written in
C++ from VB (especially if MFC and CStrings are involved)?
b) What is wrong with my code?

CString is a MFC class, I don't think you can use CString parameters from VB or Fortran. Change your parameter to char*.

a) I would look on the MSDN CD's first. If you can't find it there, a decent advanced book about VB would probably have the info you need. Your DLL can use MFC (statically linked is my advice), but it cannot be an extension DLL (it must be a "regular" DLL). You also cannot use CStrings as parameters or return values.
b) I don't know anything about VB, so I can't answer that.
c) You might look into writing an ATL COM DLL. It's supposed to be much easier to use from disparate languages (assuming you can use a COM DLL from within your fortran app - if not, forget this option).

Hi,
I was wondering if there's something like interrupts in a window application that I can use?? I mean a real interrupt (nothing to do with all the messages an application can get).
In my application which is always busy (openGL window which is constantly refreshed) I would like to be able to respond very quickly to some requests coming from another application (which should actualize (read, modify and write) about 100 values in the first application, and this many times a second)
How can I solve this problem in an elegant way??
Thanks

Use multiple threads. You can move the rendering code onto separate worker thread, as well as the code which is going to respond to the external requests. How do you communicate with other app?

Aahhhh, I think I understand now. Please correct me if I'm wrong:
An application with only one thread will never interrupt itself in the middle of a portion of code to execute another portion of the application's code.
An application with more than one thread can stop in the middle of a portion of code to execute another portion of code from the other threads.
Is this right? (of course windows can interrupt an application anytime to continue with another application)
So if I do it like you proposed it, I will use a second thread only to respond to other program's requests.
I communicate with other applications through a dll with a shared data segment. But I'm trying to use the "Postmessage" command.
Thanks for your advice

In my application which is always busy (openGL window which is constantly refreshed) I'd say this is design error #1.
Imagine an infinite fast machine. If you "constantly refreshed" the view (not the window) I'd say you have a bug in your program, since no program needs to update faster than the screen can update.
That said, are you really sure you need "interrupts"? Note that e.g. DirectX let you wait for vblank. Also note that current drivers (e.g. NVidia) spin-lock on these, giving no other part of the system a chance to "do its stuff", all to make 3D games look good in benchmarking (i.e. 300 FPS on a screen that still only do 85Hz).

Ok, I understand. But if I don't have a lot more than 30 different frames per second, I think there's no wast of time. But your're right. It might be ok on my slow computer, but on others there would be a waste of computing time.
I know I'm not very good at programming... 
Thanks

Ok, I understand.
Great! Now on to a possible solution.
If you have a batch of 100 variables to update every request (and you have pretty tight time demands) I'd go for mutextes and a memory mapped "file". One mutex signalling to the supplying application "Please provide data", the supplying app writes the data to the mempry mapped section and the signalling the other mutex "Done, go ahead and read the data". Without some _really_ fancy stuff this is AFAIK as fast as you can go using Win32.

'scuse me for interrupting. Its just the 'communications' between your two halves.
In the Windows world I may be a naughty boy suggesting this. The thing is that I've been programming unix since the old queen died (god rest his soul) and used to have the same communicate-between-threads-especially-at-speed headaches until I discovered the joys of services. The nature of most of my programs (factory control stuff) is very modular, though not entirely independant.
I devised a packet system that all of my programs understand (to varrying degrees depending on their need), I stole a service port number and bounce messages off that.
I'm sure you Mr Freeze are able to understand how its done, but for the sake of others let me give a briefing on it.
//The packets. These are C structs but you can use classes just as
//well, or better, I just have to take into account programs I
//wrote
//a million years ago and have misplaced the source.
struct
{
UINT StructSize;
UINT DataSize;
/*Because i use a shared service number I need each program to
have an ID. So that others receiving the packets know if this is
one there need to listen to.*/
UINT ProgramID;
/*even if its the right progam, will I understand it? */
UINT ProgramVersion;
/* for real time apps time can be important. BETTERTIME is
just a 'union' of mine which holds time in a DWORD format as
well as being able to get at the elements in byte form.
(usefull for sorting and comparison)*/
BETTERTIME Time;
/*Command/Type of information contained. It does not need to
be globally understood, though for the sake of future
proofing I tend to make it unique across applications.
If this message isn't for this thread then we do not get
as far as checking this*/
UINT Command;
void* Data
};
Each program is able to be server or client. It starts by sending a Welcome message. If no one replies then it assumes the role of server.
As server it keeps a list of all clients that come online and reflects all messages to all clients. I also added the ability to pass this client information to 'prime' clients so that is a server is lost another can take over without much loss.
It can of cause be changed such that a dedicated server is present, but the orriginal point was that I wanted all threads/programs to be able to talk to all others. Also I didn't want to be in a situation where data is not collected because there is no server present.
As I said, its my first day on this list and I'm not certain yet what level of information to aim at. Though I got the impression from some I have read on this list that we can assume a decent level of programming skills.
We do it for the joy of seeing the users struggle.

Good afternoon or whatever..
I have a project going here, trying to learn the ins and outs of MFC and Visual C++. When I close my app, I can code state saving routines in the function I derive from CDocument::OnCloseDocument() and they seem to get called. What gets called when my program is running when the user goes to Shutdown and Windows shuts down? It doesn't seem to be OnCloseDocument.
In more specific terms.. I have a program sitting in the tray that will often be forgotten about and I want it to be able to save its state when the user shuts off his computer.
Thanks!

Your main frame window's OnClose() will get called when system is being shut down...
Put your code there

The toolbar style CBRS_GRIPPER creates a little line to the right of a toolbar a create. The version of C++ I use has two of those gripper lines on all their toolbars. Anyone know the toolbar style to get that affect or how to get that affect if its not a style?
