If I understand, your problem is you need to know exactly when the worker thread has quit? Right before the return in the thread function, post a message (WM_APP would do) to your dialog to tell the UI thread that the worker thread is done. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ The preferred snack of 4 out of 5 Lounge readers.

However, there is some CWnd function, e.g UpdateData(), SetForeGroundWindows(), SetWindowText() etc...included in the bfunction(), then it will fail in run time. That's because the dialog isn't created until you call b.DoModal() or b.Create(). Just creating the C++ object doesn't create the dialog, so any functions that operate on the dialog via its HWND will fail. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ I'm finger-lickin' good!

> Hi all, In a CListCtrl, is that the user can only select the ITEM    Yep. > Can the subitem in other column be selected individually too( only select the subitem )??    Not normally, no. (At least, not that *I* know of.) > If can't, what should I use other than CListCtrl if I want to select cells horizontally ?    There are various Grid and Grid-like controls out there that may give you this functionality.  On a previous Brokerage-related project, I needed this same functionality.  I ended up using the Custom Draw features of the ListView control to simulate it.    Using Custom Draw, you can highlight a specific column in the control.  If you have some other way to keep track of the current "column selection", you can simulate column selection/highlighting.    Peace! -=- James.

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; }

check out the mfc grid control here on codeproject ... its way cool :suss: --- "every year we invent better idiot proof systems and every year they invent better idiots"

Perhaps you could open the file binary, get the length, then read it all into a CString by calling CString::GetBufferSetLength() first with the size of the file. "das leid schlaft in der maschine" -Einstürzende Neubauten

Be sure to include the header with the 'extern' wherever you are going to use it. Or stick the header include in your stdafx.h

1- Add the OnSelchangeList() for selection handler 2- Get the index of the current selection like this: int index = m_List.GetCurSel(); 3- Do whatever you want with the index. One idea is to put a switch statement and call functions within. Good Luck! :)

ummm is the app a unicode (or wide char) app? if so all your strings will be wide char so passing a string ptr is as easy as Speak(szString) or Speak ((LPCTSTR)csString) if the app isnt unicode then u have to use the conversion macros USES_CONVERSION; W2A(blah blah blah) A2W(blee blee blee) ;) mostly watching the human race is like watching dogs watch tv ... they see the pictures move but the meaning escapes them

The simplest way to solve such type of problems (linking problems) is to search these strings (like ITTSBufNotifySink) in all *.lib files. Than you must link (via Alt+F7 or #pragma comment) this lib-file to your project. Btw, many MSDN articles describes that libs are needed for the code they describes. With the best regards, Vitaly.

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!

I think I misunderstood something. (Read it at 4.30am so...) What I tried to do was a 2D CStringArray, derived from CStringArray, so that I could dynamicaly assign CString objects and have the array class allocate and clean up at run-time. I'm using "CStringArray fred[ 2 ]" at the moment. This is not neat at all as I said but works OK. I ass-u-med the original post was about this.

Just noticed that Andrew Koenig / Barbera Moo 's article in Januarys CUJ has a routine (p48) for finding URLs in a text string. Worth a look, if you're interested in an STL solution.

If there's no app associated with .HTM(L) files, then either a) there's no browser installed; b) the registry is horked; or c) the user went in and manually deleted the association. None of which you can do anything about. :) --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ Time is an illusion; lunchtime doubly so.
