Hmmm, let me see. Its best at night, no music, and some interesting code, then it just happens :) During the day, I have to force my self to start programming, but if the job is interesting, it usually just happens after some time :) - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

Well, there are pretty good decompilers for native code (granted, the output isn't as nearly as complete as an IL decompilation) and that hasn't stopped development. There are superb Java decompilers and that hasn't stopped java development either. There are good .NET obfuscators that will deter most reverse engineering, but if your code is so sensitive it shouldn't be out there anyway, expose it as a web service or something.

Irritating, isn't it? There's nothing 'visual' about Visual C++. Complete misnomer. Visual Basic has some justification for its name - VC++ has none.

Just wanted to let you know your method works! :) Thanks it is much cleaner than my previous code attempt. Now I just need to convert my fixed size array to a vector and it would be that much more perfect :-D Thanks again! HomeNuke ---- "Nuke'd Your Home, Yet?"

My bad :) LOL, I didn't pay attention to this too, and this is funny :) Well, CFile::readOnly is used.... for attribute of the file! :) You know, like Hidden, ReadOnly, etc. :) And the value of it is same as.... CFile::modeWrite!! LMAO, so at the end it is trying to read from file opened on;y for writing. LMAO Philip Patrick "Two beer or not two beer?" (Shakesbeer) Web-site: www.saintopatrick.com

Ernest thanks for being patient. Yeah all the literature I have on MFC always say use AfxBeginThread, and thanks for elaborating on the different thread calls. I wonder why the PSDK or the many books I HAVE on MFC don't mention those functions?!?! Thanks! HomeNuke ---- "Nuke'd Your Home, Yet?"

Jon, Thanks for your answer! It is exactly what I needed to point me in the right direction. Well, your answer practically kicked me in the right direction because it was so detailed. Thanks Again. Also did some further thought wouldn't this returned memory also be defined as an array of the object? Shouldn't we be able to access the returned information as an array? Or, is an array defined internally as something different or different flags are set in the memory space that an array occupies? Just questions... HomeNuke ---- "Nuke'd Your Home, Yet?"
