Hi All, I have a non mfc dll(does not contain the CWinApp) which needs to talk to 2nd dll which uses mfc as a shared dll.I want to make a call to the 2nd dll from the 1st one inorder to display a dialog box. I'm using LoadLibrary to load the 2nd dll from the 1st one and using GetProcAddress to get the address of the function which creates an object of dialog box and calls DoModal on it.But when I make a call in this manner, the code is crashing at ASSERT((p = pMap->LookupPermanent(m_hWnd)) != NULL || (p = pMap->LookupTemporary(m_hWnd)) != NULL); in Wincore.cpp Can anyone please tell me what the problem is. Thanks in advance Raghu

Hi All, I'm developing a knowledgebase system where in user can create his own knowledgebase by adding articles to different categories.The categories are in tree like structure where in each category node can contain articles and sub categories. I need to provide the user with the option of subscribing for these categories and whenever any changes are made to articles or any of the categories under it, the user should be notified via email. Can someone tell me how I can design the database to store these information and how can i determine the email address to be notified whenever any changes are made under the category for which user has subscribed. Thanks in advance Regards Raghu

Hi All, I have a very complex dialog with 5 edit controls,4 comboboxes,3 radio buttons and 2 list boxes. The controls id's are not in sequence(hence i cannot use ON_CONTROL_RANGE).I need to write a handler which will be called whenever user makes any changes to any of the controls.Is there any way to do this without adding an event handler for individual controls. Thanks in advance, Raghu

Hi All, I'm facing a strange problem. The condition is like this: minimize the application from the taskbar when a dialog is displayed or a automatic dialog is displayed when the application is in the minimized position. When the user clicks to activate this minimized window,only dialog box is coming up and the application's main window still remains minimized. This is happening sometimes. Can some one tell me how to make the main window also to come up along with the dialog box when the window is activated from a minimized position Thanks in advance Raghu

thankyou. the answer was helpful Raghu

Hi All, I wanted to know the difference in creation of the list box which drops down from a combo box and the list box control which we can embed on a dialog by drag and drop from the control menu. The list box that drops down from the combobox can overlap on other controls and still the focus is on the list box when the mouse is moved over the overlapping area of this list box and other controls. But if we manually overlap listbox and some other control,the focus cannot remain on the list box in this overlapped area,but focus goes to other control. Can someone tell me how to make the focus remain on the list box though the list box and some other controls get overlapped. Thanks in advance Raghu

Hi All, Can some one tell me the differences between semaphores,critical section and mutexes.When should they be used(i know these are used for synchronization between threads) and the advantages/disadvantages of them over the other. Thanks in advance Regards Raghu

Hi All, I have a client application which is sometimes displaying the message "An unknown error occurred while accessing an unnamed file" before crashing.This message is being displayed very randomly and i could simulate this only once. The scenario was like this: 1) The client and server are running in seaparate machines connected over a network. 2)Send some request commands to server and before the response is obtained,disable the network on client's side. The message "An unknown error occurred while accessing an unnamed file" was displayed and on clicking ok the application crashed.There is no log of this crash also.Can some one tell me whether this related to CArchive and what should i do to avoid this or what protection code should i add to avoid crash. The function CSocket::OnClose() is getting called immediately when the network is being diabled.But this function is not getting called when the above message is displayed and in such situation the application is crashing. Thanks in advance Regards Raghu

Hi All, I wanted to know how to display the tooltips for the contents of the CListBox. The length of the strings that are inserted into the CListBox is larger than the width of the CListBox.For such strings I want to display a tooltip text containing the full string when user places the cursor on them.Can someone tell me how to realize this. I want to implement something like the tooltips displayed for CTreeView when the contents of the node does not fit the window. Thanks in advance Regards Raghu
