GDI Objects

Hi,

I am using a frame, which is an inherited class from CFrameWnd, in an
MFC application.

When I open & close the frame, there are few extra GDI objects & User
objects that gets created. That is, when a close is performed, all
those user objects & GDI objects created do not get lost. I am
monitoring this using the Windows Task Manager itself.

Presuming a memory leak, I tried stepping thru the code to notice any
memory leak but that is not reported either...

Can somebody please help me with some pointers regarding this...?

Does it leak the GDI objects everytime you open and close the frame or just the first time. If it is just the first time then it is nothing to worry about and is just MFC keeping handle to things that it will reuse.

If the GDI count keeps going up with repeated open/closes then you do have a probelm.

Yes. It indeed keeps going up with repeated open/closes.
Any ideas as to how do I exactly zero-in to the cause...???

Hmm...
I can't help you with the problem, because I don't think you've provided enough data. What was the word you tried to add for instance?
But asides from that, considering you are working with chinese words, wouldn't Unicode be better suited for your needs?

Hi,

I have read a lot of articles and "Tips" but nothing couldn't help me. I use the Stringtable for my ToolTipTexts and have a modal DialogBox.
I've the following problem: I nedd ToolTips with more than 80 characters.

---------------------------------------------------
Inside the PreTranslateMessage function I call the RelayEvent function of the CToolTipCtrl-Class and inside the OnInitDiaog i registered and attached a Tool to the created CToolTipCtrl-Object. And I also used the SetMaxTipWidth(). And everything works fine but only with 80(!!) characters.
----------------------------------------------------

Can anybody help me to overcome this problem?

Thank you!

The procedure "CreateWaitableTimer" fails to get compiled

I am using the procedure "CreateWaitableTimer" in my program. When I try to compile it in VC++ ver 6.0 under windows 2000 ver5, service pack 2, it gives the error "undeclared identifier" inspite of the following:
->The library "kernel32.lib" has been linked in Project Settings.
->The header "winbase.h" has been included.
->The following Macros are defined before including "windows.h".
#if !defined _WIN32_WINDOWS
#define _WIN32_WINDOWS 0x0500
#endif

#if !defined _WIN32_WINNT
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
#endif

It will be great if anybody can help me to sort out this problem.

Thanks

Both of those preprocessor directives already have values so your code is not going to work as expected (i.e., they will only get assigned a value if they do not already have one). Remove the #if directive. Are those statements included before any other #include, not just windows.h?

The error continues to appear even after removal of #if. These statements are not included before any #include.

They should be. Otherwise, they have no effect.

Visual Studio 6 predates Windows 2000. You need to update your SDK headers, which you can from Microsoft Platform SDK Update[^]. If you already have up-to-date headers, you need to ensure that they appear before the ones in the Microsoft Visual Studio directory in the Include Directories section of Tools/Options.

Security/fix note: by the way, you should be running Service Pack 4.

Hi everybody, I'm trying to compile a a C++ application with MS Visual Studio .NET 2003 Architect.

First I compiled a library (.lib), then I used this lib to develop an application.

During the linking operation I obtain this error message:

libcpmtd.lib(xlock.obj) : error LNK2005: "public: __thiscall std::_Lockit::_Lockit(int)" (??0_Lockit@std@@QAE@H@Z) already defined in geardebug.lib(text.obj)

(where text.obj is part of the lib I developed)

Can anybody help me to understand why this happens?

Thank you very much

return; in constructor???

Has anyone ever used return in a constructor? Is there anything special about this? I would assume that it skips the execution of the code below and returns a pointer to the object. Is this correct?

Thanks,

While it would be syntactically correct, it doesn't make much sense.

What do you mean by that? Constructors return nothing.

Correct! Since if (true) is always true. it will return without executing "do some more stuff"

That's correct. But you also wrote and returns a pointer to the object, which is not true.

I guess that I meant when you new the object that a pointer to the object would be passed back. The one thing that I thought return in a ctor may do is pass back null and not create the object

so:
ctor a = new ctor(); // thought that it was possible that a would be null if ctor called return, but now I know that is not the case. I could have tested it, but didn't want to spend the time. Blush | :O

All it will do is prevent the execution of code after the return statement. I consider it a bad practise, but I have seen developers use it whilst debugging.
