I have an MFC application that opens up a Word document for editing using automation. Is there a way to pause or freeze the MFC application while the Word doc is being edited? After the editing is done and Word is closed, I want the MFC application to regain control and continue with doing something else. It's kind of like having it take a break until Microsoft Word is closed.
How can this be implemented?

Edit your Word document on a separate thread by calling CreateThread().
Use the HANDLE returned by CreaateThread() as an argument to WaitForSingleOb ject().
When WaitForSingleOb ject() returns, the thread is gone meaning your edit is complete.
I've never heard of this before...could you please show me an example of how to implement that with my code which uses Automation? - _Application wordAppLib;
-
CString id("Word.Application");
-
BOOL status = wordAppLib.CreateDispatch(id);
-
-
_Document myDoc;
-
COleVariant covTrue((short)TRUE);
-
COleVariant covFalse((short)FALSE);
-
COleVariant covOptional((long)DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND, VT_ERROR);
-
Documents docs = wordAppLib.GetDocuments();
-
CString ReportFileName(_T("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Sleep\\Desktop\\CPFTool Project\\CPFTool\\CPFTool\\Library.doc"));
-
myDoc = docs.Open(COleVariant(ReportFileName),
-
covOptional,
-
covFalse, // ReadOnly
-
covOptional,
-
covOptional,
-
covOptional,
-
covOptional,
-
covOptional,
-
covOptional,
-
covOptional,
-
covOptional,
-
covOptional);
-
-
-
wordAppLib.Resize((GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) * 0.375), GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN));
-
wordAppLib.Move(dtRect.left, dtRect.top);
-
wordAppLib.SetVisible(TRUE);
-
wordAppLib.Activate();
-
-
-
_Application wordAppBlank;
-
CString idBlank("Word.Application");
-
BOOL statusBlank = wordAppBlank.CreateDispatch(idBlank);
-
-
_Document myDocBlank;
-
-
Documents docsBlank = wordAppBlank.GetDocuments();
-
myDocBlank = docsBlank.Add(covOptional,covOptional,covOptional,covOptional);
-
-
wordAppBlank.Resize((GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) * 0.375), GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN));
-
wordAppBlank.Move(((GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) * 0.375) + 1), 0);
-
wordAppBlank.SetVisible(TRUE);
-
wordAppBlank.Activate();

Can a solution built in C# utilize MSMQ and/or MTS?
If so, does this make the training material I already have on MSMQ and MTS
in the context of VB6 an appropriate prerequisite foundation before learning
how to build C# solutions on MSMQ / MTS, if I already know VB6 as well as
C#?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
