Dont liaten to this guy, he is an idiot. Calling PostQuitMessage from you OnClose handler is goin to do what?

Is the problem that you receive part of the total string from the external equipement? Is the comunication an answer and a response, or full duplex?

If you expect the wait time to be relatively long, then use one of those WaitFor... functions. If the wait time would be very low, then a spin loop is an ideal candidate. It is a crappy thing, but it's life -^ Carlo Pallini

If you are using MFC, call the StreamOut() method. Otherwise, send the control a WM_STREAMOUT message. "Old age is like a bank account.

Thanks mate. (LONG_PTR) works. Regards, Sunil Kumar

Hi, Open the rc file on a notepad or if u r using VS2005 or greater right click on the rc file -> View Code copy the Dialog declaration's and paste it into your rc file. thanks Nitheesh Jose Jo Martin http://www.simpletools.co.in

You cannot do that with a communication resource (MSDN [^])

The getnameinfo API ask the DNS for the IP to Name resolution. In general, getting a name from an IP requires a reverse DNS lookup to be configured in the DNS. That's not granted to happen for clients and dynamic addresses across the Internet. It works properly only if you are in coherently administrated network. Otherwise it is mostly impossible. Have a talk with your network administrator on how DNS works in your company. 2 bugs found. > recompile ... 65534 bugs found. :doh:

Try this article[^] - CP has lots of useful articles that are just a search away - learn how to use the resources you have available to you - at your fingertips! Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

See ODBC[^] You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

To expand on the answer led-mike gave you, it really depends on the nature of the server. I suspect there's a hard limit on the number of simultaneous connections, but it's going to be REALLY big. The actual limit will depend on what your software does. Does it do some big heavy duty maths and return an answer? Not many clients. Does it just echo any packet sent to it? Lots of clients. I'm sure your application is somewhere in between, but we won't be able to give a sensible answer without know lots about your application, and skill. In the meantime, do a search on google for codeproject and io completion ports. You should see many articles that will give you more help than I ever can. Iain.

So long as the files are in separate source files, you should be able to put them in a static library that you link into the application (it's not particularly different from just linking in the object files directly). sunilkumar.d wrote: Or do i need to remove those 4 files and built them in to a separate work space as library and add it to the complete project? I'd remove those source files from the original project, add a new static library project to the solution and add the source files to that. Remember that you'll still need to ship the header files that declare the items defined in the source files. Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

The answer to your question is a simple No. But you can a) roll your own messagebox-a-like, and there are plenty in the dialogs section of codeproject. or b) if you're on vista, use a Task Dialog (see http://blogs.chimpswithkeyboards.com/jonshute/archive/2006/11/26/230.aspx[^] for an article about it) Iain.

It may happen if your application (wrongly) relies on some initial state of the serial device (and the Hyperterminal alters it). As remarked by Roger Stoltz, without posting the relevant code, you hardly will get any help. :) If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.
