Re: high color imagelist in treeview

Yes, this is it.

Yep, I found the way to specify the depecnedcy:
#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32'
name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='x86'
publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")

I have included manifest into the rc file:
IDR_MANIFEST            18      DISCARDABLE     "res\\manifest.xml"

manifest.xml content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity
	processorArchitecture="x86"
	version="5.1.0.0"
	type="win32"
	name="WTLnirvana"
/>
<description>WTLnirvana</description>
<dependency>
	<dependentAssembly>
		<assemblyIdentity
			type="win32"
			name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
			version="6.0.0.0"

WTL, GUI and Thread

Hello!

I'm writing a WTL-application.
I have some function that operates with TCP/IP.
It spends a lot of time on work.
So I want to display some status of it working on an application
window.
How I can do that? I think it is needed to put that function in a
thread. So how it can be possible that thread have an access to
application window and make some like SetText on it?
thank you

RE: WTL, GUI and Thread

Your long-running thread can't make UI function calls.  But it can issue
PostMessage to put user-defined status update messages onto the message
queue of your UI thread.

Re: WTL, GUI and Thread

seems overcomplicated.

volatile int statusID; // will be enough for current case.

statusID = STATUS_XXX; // is atomic operation so any lock is not needed

see also IBindStatusCallback as a good example of how a status info could be

RE: WTL, GUI and Thread

Ehum?

Are you calling PostMessage overcomplicated and mentioning
IBindStatusCallback as a counter-example, all in the same breath?

That's a higher sense of humor.

Your example of volatile gives little information on how a GUI thread can be
notified of a change to it. You still need to communicate between the
threads. Atomically changing volatile data has some use, but it's (as you
sort of mention) limited to lock-free scenarios.

Re: WTL, GUI and Thread

Just PostMessage a WM_SETTEXT to the window handle of the status window. You pass that window handle to the
worker thread at init.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms632644(VS.85).aspx

Use post message instead if sendmessage. Just make sure the memory where the string is placed doesn't go
away before the Post is processed.
