Thank you Siddhartha and Cilu. Your comments and links have made me more confident about the VS 2005 "standard edition" so I am going to order that today. (Not planning to do anything serious with...

Thank you again. Very helpful. :)

I am planning to get the standard edition on Monday but will monitor the thread until then in case someone comes up with a reason not to.

My programs are...

"What does this -
....
...mean?"

It means that I had already discovered as much in my initial search. Note the last sentence of the first paragraph of my first post.

"You got it."

Yes,...

Thanks for replying. I gathered as much from a web search. My real question is, (a) Is MFC and ATL fully functional in the VS 2005 "standard edition" and (b) What is missing from the "standard...

Hi Everyone,

I've been away from programming for a couple of years. I recently downloaded the VS 2005 Express Edition from the MS web site and tried compiling some old programs (which compile fine...

Yes, using a thread seems the proper thing to do in this case. You might also just have the thread send the data directly rather than posting a messge to the dialog etc.

I think most of the other suggestions should have solved the problem, but here is another link for completeness:

The link provided by meisunknown is probably what you need, but in case you are asking how to check if some other application is running, and what you know is the name, then get my function...

I generally agree with the other comments. If you are looking for something really basic, then consider "Code" by Charles Petzold. It is somewhat long-winded, and experienced computer people may get...

Another option is to convert your picture to bmp format, then add it as a picture control in your dialog's resource file.

You could call FindWindow or FindWindowEx in your calling program to check whether the other programs window has been created or not.

Something like this:




UINT ui=myFile.Read(szBuffer, sizeof(szBuffer)-1);
szBuffer[ui]=0;
m_sEdit1 = szBuffer;

For styled buttons of all types, I highly recommend using the
CButtonST class by Davide Calabro, at:

I am not sure what m_sEdit1 is, but I would guess
you need to add a terminating zero to szBuffer
before copying it to m_sEdit1.

Here's an alternate suggestion:



char path[] = "C:\\temp";
SHFILEINFO shFileInfo;
if (SHGetFileInfo((LPCSTR)path, 0,
&shFileInfo, sizeof(SHFILEINFO), SHGFI_TYPENAME) != 0)
{...

For defining messages:

#define WM_SOME_MESSAGE WM_USER+1
etc.

For sending messages, use PostMessage() or
SendMessage()

Here is one suggestion, which should work:

Since you have the process ID (in pi.dwProcessID)
use that to call OpenProcess(), which will give you
a handle to your process.

Next, call...

When you create a process with CreateProcess(), it returns
the Process ID of the created process in the
"Process Information" structire. You can use
that to distinguish between multiple instances...

Paul,

You might want to fix your home page link on your
profile page. Right now it gives a page not found error.
Probably it just needs an http:// in front.

Thanks.

sndPlaySound() may be phased out. Use PlaySound instead.
If you already have the waveform in memory, then look
at the waveOutWrite() function (and the whole series
of related waveOut.. functions.

The latest (Nov. 2003) issue of Dr Dobb's Journal has

Here's a short example that lists all files in the
current working directory. You can modify it easily for
your purpose:
