MD5Digest Calculator

MD5Digest Calculator tool was developed to be a C++ MFC application that calculates MD5 digest of files, using worker threads. The MD5 calculator C++ class can be used also in non-MFC projects.
This is a C++ MFC application that computes the MD5 digest of files, using worker threads. The input file can be selected from the app main dialog box, or it can be drag-and-droped by the user.
The MD5 computation is done by a "background" worker thread. (See CMfcMD5CalculatorDlg::MD5WorkerThreadFunctionMain() method.)
MD5 digest can be copied to the clipboard. Some techniques showed in this project:
- MD5 calculation using Win32 Cryptography API (no external libraries required)
- using worker threads
- drag-and-drop
- copy strings to clipboard
- extracting file path and file title from full file pathname
- using common open file dialog

NOTE:

The CMD5FileCalculator class is used to calculate MD5 digest of files. I designed this class to be independent from the MFC framework, so this class can be used also in other C++ non-MFC projects.
