Dear all, I'm writting a MFC program that enables the user to enter the URL, and then press "Start" button to start downloading the html from that URL. So I have create a WorkerThread to handle the downloading process so that the user can press "Stop" button to terminate the downloading process. After successful or unsuccessful downloading of html, it should call a Text-to-speech function to speak to the user about the status of download. However, the text-to-speech function cannot work when there is another thread running. I have tried to create another thread to call the TTS function, but it failed too. My question is :where does the thread return when it finished?? Is there anyother method to call my TTS() function when the thread is finished? Here is my program: // myappdlg.cpp static UINT workerthreadcontrol ( void * pRTclass ) void myappdlg.OnStart() { downloadHTML(); } void downloadHTML() { ..... CWinThread* pWorkerThread; pWorkerThread = AfxBeginThread ( workerthreadcontrol, this, THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL, 0, CREATE_SUSPENDED ); m_Startbtn.EnableWindow( False ); m_Stopbtn.EnableWindow( True ); pWorkerThread->ResumeThread(); ..... } UINT workerthreadcontrol( void * pRTclass ) { myappdlg pDlg = (myappdlg*) pRTclass; pDlg->WorkerThreadProcess(); return 0; } void WorkerThreadProcess() { doing downloading......... } // Where should I put this function??? void TTS( LPCTSTR Text ) { Speak out Text..... } Thanks a lot for your help.... Best Regards, Vickie

Dear all, Does anyone know whether a MFC program can get the URL at the activating Internet Explorer or not? If yes, how can I get the URL? Thanks a lot! Vickie

Dear all, If I have two window dialogs opening, say, A and B. And if A is activating, I want that in A::OnOK(), it can call a function in B, say B::bfunction(). However, there is some CWnd function, e.g UpdateData(), SetForeGroundWindows(), SetWindowText() etc...included in the bfunction(), then it will fail in run time.. A::OnOK() { B dlg; dlg.function(); } Can I know how to solve it? My target is, when A is activating, if the user press OK, then the B dialog will bring to top and A will call the B's function.....and then close A dialog. Please help! Thanks a lot!!! :rose: :-O

Hi all, In a CListCtrl, is that the user can only select the ITEM ? Can the subitem in other column be selected individually too( only select the subitem )?? If can't, what should I use other than CListCtrl if I want to select cells horizontally ? Please help! Thanks! Vickie

Thank you very much!! I got how to do it now. It is to check the status of pNMListView->uNewState and pNMListView->uOldState before operation as follow: void CTable::OnItemchangedtable(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult) { NM_LISTVIEW* pNMListView = (NM_LISTVIEW*)pNMHDR; UINT u = pNMListView->uNewState; UINT n = pNMListView->uOldState; if( u != 0 && n == 0 ) { POSITION pos = m_table.GetFirstSelectedItemPosition(); int i = m_table.GetNextSelectedItem( pos ); CString cs = m_table.GetItemText(i, 0); AfxMessageBox( cs); } *pResult = 0; }

Since my tools is for the Blind, can't use Mouse but only keyboard, i.e. up, down arrow or short-cut key instead.

Dear all, I am encountering a problem in calling this CListCtrl function, OnItemchanged. Whenever there is a change in selection, this functions will run 3 times!!! And, for the first time, the string got is " ", but at the second time, it shows the right string, then it is " " again for the third time. Can I know how does it happen for running 3 times? This is just a testing code. Actually I want to call another function whenever a selection is moved to another one, how can I do this if this function cannot work? void CTable::OnItemchangedtable(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult) { NM_LISTVIEW* pNMListView = (NM_LISTVIEW*)pNMHDR; POSITION pos = m_table.GetFirstSelectedItemPosition(); int i = m_table.GetNextSelectedItem( pos ); CString cs = m_table.GetItemText(i, 0); AfxMessageBox( cs); *pResult = 0; } Thank you very much !!! Regards, Vickie

I want to make a control that like a Grid that can provide the function of setting columns and rows, changing selection by just pressing up, down, left or right arrow keys. Is that the CListCtrl can do so? Thanks ! Vickie

Dear all, How can I read a text file and put all the text into ONE CString? Thanks for your help! Vickie

I can't get it work even I have followed what you'd said, since there are many others header files included in my cpps. Will this be the reason leading to my errors? Thanks a lot!

Dear all, How can I declare a variable so that all cpps in my MFC project can access the variable? Thanks. Vickie

Dear all, I have created a CListBox, with several lines of string, in a dialogbox. How can I call another function automatically whenever the selection of string in the list box is changed (by the up and down arrow key)? For example, in the function I want to get the text of the new position of the cursor selection whenever the selection is changed etc.. Looking forward to your sincere reply! Thanks!

Dear all, How can I pass the string in a char array or CString array in this Speak() function? e.g. char chararray[5][5]; chararray[0] = "Hello"; or CString cstringarray[5][5]; cstringarray[0] = "How are you"; HRESULT Speak (PCWSTR pszSpeak); Since the parameter should be a pointer of WCHAR, do anyone know how to convert the string to the suitable parameter? Looking forward to your sincere reply. Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot for your detailed advice! I am trying to write the parser now! Hope there is good news few days later!

Why I need to hate you that you gave me advice? ^v^! Anyway, can I know how to use CStringArray to construct a 2D array? Can you show me how to use and declare it? Thx for your sincere help!

But do I need to declare anything else before calling this function, or any objects should be created first? Since I get "undeclared identifier" when calling this function. Thx a lot!

Hi all, Do you know how to use the function sndPlaySound() in MFC? I had put it in my program, but it got an error. Is it any header file or other declaration is needed before calling this procedure? Thx for your help!
