SetWaitableTimer/SetTimer call back is not getting called
I have created a worker thread using CreateThread()
function. I created a Timer Event using
CreateWaitableTimer. I set the timer event using
SetWaitableTimer and I include a call back function to be
called when the timer expired. However, I do not hit the
call back function. Is there any special code I need to add
for this? Here is the snippet from my code.
void CreateSTEventsAndThreads()
{
DWORD IDThread;
stThreadEvents[0] = CreateEvent(NULL, FALSE, FALSE,
NULL);
timerEvent = CreateWaitableTimer(NULL,
FALSE, "WaitableTimer");
stThreadHandle = CreateThread(NULL, 0,
(LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)ThreadFn,&stThreadEvents, 0,
&IDThread);
if (stThreadHandle == NULL) {}
}
UINT ThreadFn(LPVOID param)
{
DWORD waitResult;
while (TRUE) {
waitResult = WaitForMultipleObjects(1, stThreadEvents,
FALSE, INFINITE);
switch (waitResult) {
case WAIT_OBJECT_0:
LARGE_INTEGER liDueTime;
liDueTime.QuadPart=-100000000;
if (!SetWaitableTimer(timerEvent,&liDueTime, 0,
TimerProc, NULL, 0)) { }
return 0;
}
VOID CALLBACK TimerProc(
LPVOID lpArgToCompletionRoutine, // data value
DWORD dwTimerLowValue , // timer low value
DWORD dwTimerHighValue // timer high value
)
{
BOOL rc;
// do stuff
return;
}
I am not hitting the TimerProc function. Any ideas why?

Use NULL for the last parameter. You don't need a name

>&IDThread);

Get rid of that ugly cast. If the compiler won't accept ThreadFn without the cast, your
function is erroneous and needs to be changed. Since stThreadEvents is an array, putting &
in front of it is incorrect. Calling CreateThread is almost certainly a mistake in MFC.
stThread = AfxBeginThread(ThreadFn, stThreadEvents);
is what you should have written!
*****

Read the documentation of CreateThread. What you have here is garbage. I see no call
linkage declaration. The CreateThread function CLEARLY documents that the prototype should
be
DWORD WINAPI
and you have
UINT
which is a serious error. Your misuse of a cast disguises this blunder by demanding the
compiler accept your erroneous definition.
Note that what you have writte WOULD be correct had you used the correct AfxBeginThread
function, which wants
UINT
without a linkage type.
Create a class to hold your handles:
class handles {
public:
handles(HANDLE ev, HANDLE tim) { event = ev; timer = tim; }
HANDLE event;
HANDLE timer;
~handles() { ::CloseHandle(event); ::CloseHandle(timer); }
};
then do
HANDLE event = ::CreateEvent(...);
HANDLE timer = ::CreateWaitableTimer(...);
handles * h = new handles(stEvents[0], timer);
AfxBeginThread(ThreadFn, (LPVOID)h);
now you don't need all those ugly global variables
*****
>UINT ThreadFn(LPVOID param)
>{
> DWORD waitResult;

Huh? You pass in an array of events and only wait on the first object? Why are you passing
in an array at all? Why not the address of a simple variable? You don't even use the
LPVOID! In fact, it looks like you are using global variables, which is really, really
poor style! This should be
UINT THreadFn(LPVOID param)
{
handles * h = (handles *)param;
while(TRUE)
{ /* thread loop */
DWORD result = ::WaitForSingleObject(h->event, INFINITE);
switch(result)
{ /* result */
case WAIT_OBJECT_0:
SetWaitableTimer(... };
continue;
} /* result */
Now the thread will return and block! How do you expect a blocked thread to handle a timer
callback? Instead, don't use a callback, do a
HANDLE ha[2];
ha[0] = h->event;
ha[1] = h->timer
DWORD result = WaitForMultipleObjects(2, ha, FALSE, INFINITE);
switch(result)
{
case WAIT_OBJECT_0: // event fired
...
case WAIT_OBJECT_0+1: // timer fired
...
}
****

Hi, Is there a way to get the size of a buffer allocated with ExAllocatePoolWithTag without having to put your own wrapper around it. Just native support? TIA!! Why in the world would you want this?

subtracting a range from another range and getting a range result
I have two ranges of XYZ coordinates. One is named R1 and the other R2. Is there any way in Excell 2002 to bascially say R2-R1=R3 so that R3 is a range the same size as R1 and R2, where each cell in R3 is is subtraction of the corrisponding cells in R1 and R2? Sort of like this: r1= 3,4,5 r2=3,4,5 r3=6,8,10 of course I need to do this on a two dimentional range, there are multiple XYZ points. Are the three values of R1 (3,4,5) in separate cells? Are you adding or subtracting? Please spell out the problem in more detail -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from e...

Get buffer size of ExAllocatePoolWithTag
Hi, Is there a way to get the size of a buffer allocated with ExAllocatePoolWithTag without having to put your own wrapper around it. Just native support? TIA!! Why in the world would you want this? Either your driver allocated the buffer and should know its size, or the buffer was passed to you with a size. Any other case is bad design, for instance you should not be playing with buffers you don't own, and you should not assume anything about the size of a buffer passed to you beyond what the caller provides. -- Don Burn (MVP, Windows DKD) Windows Filesy...

Images get distorted when printing
It seems that Excel distorts all images when you print them. They get vertically squeezed. This is not noticeable to most people. But is very apparent when you have a tall image that gets compressed. I have tested this on many computers and get the same result. 1. Start a new document. 2. Draw a "circular" Oval AutoShape. (Click and drag with Shift key held down.) 3. Do a print preview and Bingo! The circles are now ellipses! (They print that way too.) Has anyone experienced this too? Any suggestions for overcoming the problem? Yes, all my images and graphics display and pr...

How do I get Powerpoint 2003 fade in 1 by 1 in 2007
I frequently used the 'fade in one by one' feature in Powerpoint 2003, which allowed me to fade in individual bullet points by way of a click of a mouse. Not only is this feature now not standard in 2007, but I can't work out how to create it: anything that I find, tends, instead, to fade the bullet points in on some kind of automatic time schedule, rather than - as I want - on a mouse click. I want only to use text, no sounds, no pictures, and nothing fancy. Currently, I am reduced to copying my material into an old Powerpoint 2003 presentation, but this is silly....
