> I'll look into the sndPlaySound function also, but maybe I can solve this from another approach
Setting SND_SYNC will not help you, that is the default behaviour (the value of that flag is zero). I believe what is happening is the following:
1: You disable the button
2: You play the sound, which blocks the application (including the message pump)
3: The user queues up a button press by clicking on it while your application is blocked (you are not pumping messages)
4: Your sound finishes, and you enable the button
5: You return from the function and the message pump starts running again
6: The button click message is received, and you go back to #1
EnableWindow(...) sends a WM_ENABLE message, likely through a SendMessage(...) call, and anyone that knows Win32 should know that SendMessage(...) will bypass the message pump under certain conditions, which is what I believe is happening here. So the Enable and Disable "messages" are being processed before the queued button press.
> I tried to insert the ::PeekMessage code with no results.
That will not work, because it only checks for one message, and only processes one message if it finds one. By the time the user clicks on the button, the PeekMessage(...) code is long since past.
My suggestion would be to use the MCI functions' ability to send a notification message (MM_MCINOTIFY) to you when the sound finishes. You disable the button, play the sound Async. (do not specify the MCI_WAIT flag), and enable the button when you get the notification message that the sound has finished playing.
Peace!

James,
I figured out how to handle the MM_MCINOTIFY message and that is exactly what I needed.
I added this line to my main dialog message map:
ON_MESSAGE(MM_MCINOTIFY, OnNotifyWavDone)
I added this line to my header file after my class-wizard generated message map functions:
afx_msg LRESULT OnNotifyWavDone(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);
and I call the MCI function from my main dialog like so:
mciPlayParms.dwCallback = this->GetSafeHwnd();
if (dwReturn = mciSendCommand(wDeviceID, MCI_PLAY, MCI_NOTIFY,
(DWORD)(LPVOID) &mciPlayParms))
{
mciSendCommand(wDeviceID, MCI_CLOSE, 0, NULL);
return (dwReturn);
}
This closes the device only if there is an error, otherwise, the closing and re-enabling of the button are handled in the callback function:
LRESULT CWaveTestDlg::OnNotifyWavDone(WPARAM wFlags, LPARAM lDeviceID)
{
switch(wFlags)
{
case MCI_NOTIFY_SUCCESSFUL:
m_outputString.Format(_T("Playback completed"));
break;
case MCI_NOTIFY_FAILURE:
m_outputString.Format(_T("Playback interrupted!"));
break;
case MCI_NOTIFY_SUPERSEDED:
m_outputString.Format(_T("Playback stopped!"));
break;
}
mciSendCommand(lDeviceID, MCI_CLOSE, 0, NULL);
isPlaying = FALSE;
CButton* pPlayButton;
pPlayButton = (CButton*) GetDlgItem(IDC_PLAY);
ASSERT(pPlayButton != NULL);
pPlayButton->EnableWindow(TRUE);
pPlayButton->SetFocus();
UpdateData(FALSE);
return 0L;
}
Thought it might be useful to someone. I found some helpful example code here:

Thanks much,
Eric

CString str = "dd.rr.hh";
Now, how to search that string after dd, rr and hh and save them into a separete CString?
I know how to look up if I found the '.' in the string and after finding the dot I assign a CString dd (all characters that I've found till I found the dot) into anothr CString. But when I then want to keep search for rr (keep search after the dot) I don't know how to restart the loop... hmm

You can use strtok, or you can just grab the index from the search and then do a new search starting from that index + 1, unless the search is not successful, or you've reached the end of the string.

Let me take a rough stab at this. Note that this may not compile but it should give you some ideas as to what you can do to solve this kind of problem.
CString str = "dd.rr.hh";
CString strParts[100];
CString strSearch = str;
for (int iPart = 0; iPart < 100; iPart++)
{
int nPos = strSearch.Find('.');
if (nPos < 0)
{
strParts[iPart] = strSearch;
break;
}
strParts[iPart] = strSearch.Left(nPos);
strSearch = strSearch.Mid(nPos + 1);
}
You should end up with the strParts array containing the distinct parts in the first 3 elements.
Now, as an exersice I recommend you write yourself a global function that takes two CString arguments. The first is the value to parse, the second is the delimitter to parse with. The return value should be a CStringArray object containing the parsed elements.
Regards,
Alvaro

Why would you go to the effort when strtok does exactly the same thing ( assuming you want to pass CStrings and *not* use the built in find functions ), and why would *anyone* use CStringArray ?

As that old Bud Dry commercial goes, "Why ask why?"
I answered the guy's question and gave him a solution. It's not your solution, but then again, I didn't say it was better than yours. It's just an alternative. Does it work? Yes! Then why ask why?
Well, for one, strtok has the "not-thread-safe" stigma. Another thing, strtok doesn't do *exactly* the same thing. You have to call it twice inside a loop, and with different parameters. I personally find it a somewhat confusing function to use. It's just not as straight-forward as the code I wrote.
Now as for the CStringArray class... woah, a class that encapsulates an array of CString objects. Gee, that sounds like the most *useless* class possible for storing CString objects inside an array! I really really ought to consider alternatives, like the STL classes. Those are really intuitive and well documented, right? That's what I thought.

Alvaro

Effeciency ? Ultimately, if you have a CString, why not use the functions CString provides to do such things ? If you're not going to use them, there's no reason not to prefer std::string.

Yes, they ARE intuitive, and despite M$ giving you no real help with them, there is great help available online at the STL site, and also a number of very good books.
So you've got your CStringArray. Now sort it. Sort it again, randomly. Now provide me with all available permutations. Ooops. Looks like the STL wins out again.

OK OK, no need to fuss over which solution is better here.
I just think CString and CStringArray can satisfy our needs over 90% of the time. They're part of MFC, they're used and supported by other MFC classes, and they're well documented by Microsoft. So I say use them, especially if you're just getting into MFC.
STL is a fine library, except for 2 things: 1) it's not well documented by Microsoft, and 2) it's not all that intuitive, especially when it comes to function names. Sure, once you start getting the hang of it and know where to find its documentation, it's fine. But you could just as well go with the MFC counterparts and do equally fine, in less time.
As far as sorting goes, nope, you can't sort a CStringArray directly.  I actually wrote some pretty nifty functions that do it using the qsort function, but that's beside the point. STL is great for that and more, but then again... how many of us need to sort arrays of strings inside our programs? In my 10 years of Windows development, I think I've only done it twice - hence my nifty functions.
Perhaps the best reason to use STL is multi-platform support. That's where STL reigns supreme. But for Windows development, I still favor the MFC classes.

Alvaro

Hey. I'm making a program in Windows API in C++ (not MFC). I'm trying to add picture files onto buttons, or just on the form and when you click them, it processes an event.
Any help on how to load a .gif or any picture file onto a form or button? Thanks =)
Dave

You can use GDI+ to load a gif. You can use ::LoadImage to load a bmp from disk or resources. Then make the button owner drawn, and draw the bitmap onto it using the WM_DRAWITEM message. You can use an STL map to map the windows HWND to a bitmap to avoid global data, or better yet, wrap your buttons in a class and map the HWND to the pointer to the class instance.

Is there any way to mimic the behavior of PrintInsideRect() when printing from a CScrollView?
Printing... what a pain.
|
|
|
|

Yes, do the printing yourself 
Catch OnPrint in your derive CScrollView.

Any guidance on how to tell programatically whether Visual C++ is running? The simplest solution would appear to be if there is a known mutex that I could refer to, but I have had no luck finding any such information in MSDN or on the web.
Failing that, other suggestions also welcome. It's with a view to writing installer(s) using Martijn Laan's "My Inno Setup Extensions", so I can write an extension DLL in C++ if necessary.
Cheers,

You need to Use PSAPI Functions.
Start with ProcessEnum Function...
I wrote a class that Do that you need...
If you want for a ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) I can share the class with you.... 
Best Regards

Also you can See what Applications Are running enumming the HWND...
Also I Wrote a Class that Do that....
The Principal difference is that for PSAPI functions you need the psapi.dll that is only in NT and W2K, Don't work under win 95/98. I don't Know what happens with XP..

There are two simple ways:
1. Enumerating processes. You can use the following classes to enumarate processes on both NT/2000 and Win9x. http://www.codeproject.com/threads/enumprocess.asp
2. You can use FindWindow API to find Visual C++ window. You can also give the class name as a parameter to be sure that the window found is Visual C++ Window.
Hope this helps.

Suppose I have a process's handle, how can I figure it's CPU usage?
(Same about it's memory usage)

For NT 4.0/2000/XP sistems, seems like GetProcessTimes was written thinking of you 
As for memory usage, the function to go is GetProcessMemoryInfo (implemented as part of the PSAPI performance Monitoring SDK).

Sorry for the ignorence, but suppose I called GetProcessTimes() and converted the FILETIME arg' to SYSTEMTIME (using FileTimeToSystemTime(),
how do I compute (and which parameter is the significant) the CPU usage of a process per second?
truthfully yours, Me.

SYSTEMTIME is not a good choice to calculate relative times.
To compute CPU usage per second, just call GetProcessTimes every second and compute the difference of the paramaters lpKernelTime (time spent inside system routines) and lpUserTime (time spent inside user code). To subtract two FILETIMEs, copy them to ULARGE_INTEGERs and subtract these (more info about FILETIME arithmetic on the online documentation about FILETIME).
