Thanks for the Reply. But without a messagebox, the code excecutes properly. When messageBox is inserted it is leading to infinite loop. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/windowing/timers/timerreference/timermessages/wm\_timer.asp In the above link, they have mentioned a statement like below. "The WM_TIMER message is a low-priority message. The GetMessage and PeekMessage functions post this message only when no other higher-priority messages are in the thread's message queue. " So instead of Timers , can i use threads and loop the function? I mean replacing the Timers with Threads. Thanks. Chetan. Helping others satisfies you...

Hi everyone, I am trying to develop a Dialog based application for a device communicating through RS 232 serial Port. The serial port receives the new samples of data every 100 milli seconds. I am trying to display the message in a textbox and write the data to a file. For this purpose, i created a thread for receiving data. I am using a Timer with 100 milli seconds for Updating the textbox and writing the received data to the file. The Problem now i am facing is, when the file gets full, i am trying to display error message and stop the timer. But Timer is not getting stopped by KillTimer().Timer continues in the running state. BOOL MyDlg::OnInitDialog() { .... ... ConfigureSerialPort(); AfxBeginThread(Serial, NULL,THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL,0,0,NULL); return TRUE; } void CMyDlg::OnClickStart() { fp = fopen(file_name,"a"); if (NULL == fp) { MessageBox ("Error Writing File",NULL, MB_OK|MB_ICONSTOP); KillTimer(m_nTimer); } m_nTimer = SetTimer(1, 100, NULL); fprintf(fp,"%d\n",status); } void CMyDlg::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent) { OnClickStart(); CDialog::OnTimer(nIDEvent); } UINT Serial(LPVOID pParam) { while(1) { DWORD dwBytesTransferred; ReadFile (hPort, inbuf, 60, &dwBytesTransferred, NULL); Sleep(100); } return TRUE; } Please help me regarding this problem.

Hi, I think sprintf will do the trick for your Question. I didnt try it. #include #include char *DoubletoStr(char *s, double dd); int main(void) { double values2[] = {34709.22, 3746.55, 23456}; char value[32]; int i; DoubletoStr(value,values2[i])); return 0; } char *DoubletoStr(char *s, double dd) { char *endp; sprintf(s,"%f",dd); for(endp = s+strlen(s); endp!=s;endp--) { if(*(endp-1) != '0'&& *(endp-1) != '.') { *endp = '\0'; break; } } return s; } Good Luck.

Hi, Is it possible to set the color to a button in a dialog based application? I tried using CTLCOLOR_BTN unsuccessfully. The code which i tried is given below.. HBRUSH CMyDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor) { HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor); if (CTLCOLOR_BTN == nCtlColor) // It worked when i used CTLCOLOR_DLG to change the color of the DialogBox { hbr = ::GetSysColorBrush(1); } return hbr; } Thanks in Adavance..
