    - cannot convert from 'System::String' to 'LPCSTR' I am trying to use Managed C++ to get the dir from which my .msi was launched and set a property with that value. I am pretty lost. I have no clue if I am even on the right track, but this all seems so simple. Right now the last line below - I can't get the 3rd arg right. It needs to be an LPCSTR. String *cdromDir = NULL; if ((status = getInstallProperty(hInstall, "OriginalDatabase", &imageLocation)) != ERROR_SUCCESS) return status; cdromDir = Path::GetDirectoryName(imageLocation); USES_CONVERSION; MsiSetProperty(hInstall, "CDROMDIR", A2W(*cdromDir)); Thanks, owen Tag: Dialog in DLL - plain win32 Tag: 247944

    - My first C++ Application in VC++ 2005 Express! Dear All, My name is Davin Eastley and I'm 13 years old. I wrote my first C++ 2005 Application yesterday with no resources by playing around with C++ Express Edition for half the day. I assigned x as an int (with the value of 20) and got the compiler to tell me whether it was greater than 2 or not. This was the code I used: private: System::Void button1_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) { int x; x = 1; //this assigns x as an int //(a variable - data type -) if (x >= 2) { // if x is greater than 2, output a messagebox saying x is greater than 2. MessageBox::Show(L"x is greater than 2!"); } if (x < 2) { // if x is lower than 2, output a messagebox saying x is lower than 2. MessageBox::Show(L"x is lower than 2!"); } } This is straight from the compiler. This is the new style of C++ 2005. I am very happy to write my first application in C++. I also wrote a console application which uses Console::WriteLine instead of the messagebox equivalent. I still want to know how to use the cout and cin keywords though. Time to do some more learning on C++! Regards, Davin Eastley -------------- www.davineastley.tk Forums Home Tag: Dialog in DLL - plain win32 Tag: 247926

    - Stack Overflow Hi All, What cause a Stack Overflow? Is it that the program used more memory than that was alloted for it? I converted my application to Unicode and it statredgiving this problem. It's not getting stuck in an infinite loop, and if I step into it, it's not getting stuck at any particular line which is alotting any memory, it crashes at the beginning of a function. Maybe since I converted all those chars to TCHARs now it's using up double the memory, and running out of memory????

    - Cannot delete a memory mapped file at end of program Hi All, wonder if someone can point out what I am doing wrong.....I am creating memory mapped files on win2000 using CreateFile and CreateFileMapping and MapViewOfFile. At the end of the program I figured it would be nice to clean up these files but when I issued the del <filename> as a system command (or if I try the DeleteFile function) I get a message saying that the file is in use by another process.....Is there something else I must do to release a file that I have set up using CreateFile and CreateFileMapping and MapViewOfFile???

    - Generating makefile dependencies Hi, Many compilers have a command-line option, usually -m or -M, to generate dependencies for inclusion in a makefile. Does any version of the VC++ compiler support such an option? I know it used to be possible to do it through the IDE and that this feature was abolished; I'm just interested in command-line options.

    - Best way to handle SEH and COM Exceptions Not sure if this is the right section of the forums to post but here goes. I work as an escalation engineer and we have an application that is using VB and C++ dll. The VB app passes in some XML to the C++ code which calls a database using ADO with the #import statement. The #import looks like this: #import "C:\Program Files\common files\system\ado\msado15.dll" no_namespace rename("EOF","adoEOF") If I understand everything the #import statement generates some .tlh and .tli files that wrap ADO. Also adding error handling by calling _com_raise_error which throws internaly _com_errors. My problem is this. The app is throwing (maybe better to say raising) an exception inside a C++ try block that was being eaten by the catch(...). Not good because we are losing the exception. So I removed the catch(...) and added a SetUnhandledExceptionFilter( HandleCrash ) in the DLLMain. When the HandleCrash exception filter is call I call MiniDumpWriteDump which seems to be working fine. Is this good programming practice and will it produce the most reliable code? When the HandleCrash is call I believe the only thing I can really do is write a minidump and end the program. Is this write? And now the code :) Thank you in advance for your help! // in dllmain SetUnhandledExceptionFilter( HandleCrash ); // LONG WINAPI HandleCrash( LPEXCEPTION_POINTERS pExs ) { // format file name app and date time of dump FormatFileName( _T("app"), _T(""), file ); // message box to tell user they crashed and dump file has been writen ::MessageBox(... // dump minidump HANDLE hFile = CreateFile( file, GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, ... if( ( hFile != NULL ) && ( hFile != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE ) ) { MINIDUMP_EXCEPTION_INFORMATION mdei; mdei.ThreadId = GetCurrentThreadId(); mdei.ExceptionPointers = pExs; mdei.ClientPointers = FALSE; MINIDUMP_TYPE mdt = MiniDumpNormal; BOOL rv = MiniDumpWriteDump( GetCurrentProcess(), GetCurrentProcessId(), hFile, mdt, (pExs != 0) ? &mdei : 0, 0, 0 ); if( !rv ) _tprintf( _T("MiniDumpWriteDump failed. Error: %u \n"), GetLastError() ); else _tprintf( _T("Minidump created.\n") ); // Close the file CloseHandle( hFile ); } else { _tprintf( _T("CreateFile failed. Error: %u \n"), GetLastError() ); } return EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER; } try { // setup connection... hr = pConnection.CreateInstance( __uuidof(Connection) ); // ... code and error checking removed for breviety ... // setup command and parameters ... hr = pCommand.CreateInstance( __uuidof(Command) ); // ... // exception occuring here hr = pCommand->Execute( NULL, NULL, adExecuteStream ); // ... } catch( _com_error &e ) { // log error in log file and continue... } catch( std::exception& e ) { // log error in log file and continue... } // this was originally in the code // but was removed because the exception was being lost catch( ... ) { //do nothing :( } Tag: Dialog in DLL - plain win32 Tag: 247876

    - WriteFile reports x bytes written, but file does not grow Folks, I'm not quite sure if this is the correct newsgroup to post it, but I'm sure there are experts here that might have an answer to my question. I have developed a .net isapi DLL (Web Service) that uses a COM object to cut and merge WAV files. Now, the Web Service and the COM object work fine on my XP machine, writing the file as it should. However, when I run the complete system on a Win2000 machine, my writefile in the COM object acts strangely. It should write some buffer to a file, and the BytesWritten returns exactly the number of bytes that need to be written, but my file does not grow. I'm offering a total amount of 20 MB to write (in 4096 kB buffers) but the file stays 1 kB. This 1 kB is from a previous WriteFile action that writes a WAV header to the file. So, after writing the wave header, every call to writefile does not result in file growth. Does anyone have similar experience or has seen this kind of behavior before? I appreciate any response. Thanks in advance! Rob Vermeulen. Tag: Dialog in DLL - plain win32 Tag: 247869

    - Sharing violationin fopen function with "w" flag Hi, I have a a application developed in Visual C++ 6.0. It is running very well in Windows 2000 platform but in XP I have got some random problems. I have been testing and I have seen, I think, that the problem is in fopen function. I am running VMWare machine with XP Pro Service Pack 2. The VMWare is running on Windows 2000. The files are in Windows 2000 and I read the filed trought the net. If I run the same application in Windows 2000 there is not problem. It run OK. The problem is follow: When I call the fopen function in a exact pont, sometimes the system going to down and slowly and when the system return the file hanlde, sometimes return OK and sometimes return 0x00000. I have use the "filemon" tool and, in this situation, the filemon shows: "Sharing violation error" Also, I have compared the systems calls with filemon in W2k and XP and I hav seen that the fopen funtion, in W2k, make a "Query" call but in XP not. I have spent very time in order to discover the problem but I have not seen the solution. Also I have installed several hotfixes after the SP2. Thanks. Tag: Dialog in DLL - plain win32 Tag: 247864

    - allocator question Hi to all, when passing an allocator to SEVERAL containers at the same time, can we rely on the "rebind" mechanism assuming that each container is able to select its own allocator? for example: is the following ok? template <class T, class allocator_t> class MyContainer { std::vector<T, allocator_t> v_; std::map<T, int, std::less<T>, allocator_t> m_; }; or should we be verbose and deduce the correct allocators out of the sub-containers: template <class T, class allocator_t> class MyContainer { typedef typename allocator_t::template rebind<T>::other rebind1_t; std::vector<double, rebind1_t> v_; typedef typename allocator_t::template rebind< std::pair<const T, int>::other rebind2_t; // etc... }; of course version #1 and version #2 declare a class whose members have different types (say, m_ is map<T,int, ... allocator<T> > and map<T,int, ... allocator< std::pair<...> > >), but apart from that, are they "functionally" equivalent?

In C or C++, why can't I write this: void MyFunction() { unsigned var : 14; // ... } The compiler already knows how to do the shifting and masking for bit fields in structures. The above is nothing more than syntactic sugar for, say: void MyFunction2() { struct { unsigned f : 14; } var; // ... } But I could think of no good reason why the first one couldn't also be done, and there are certain problem domains where that kind of thing could prove useful. -- - Tim Roberts, timr@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc Tag: Dialog in DLL - plain win32 Tag: 247789

    - sending message from UI thread to the main thread I have a main control in which I have a loop which processes video frames. To be able to see the results in real time, I created a dialog in another thread which displays the data as they become available (the main thread populates a global array, and the second thread picks the last element and displays it.) I need to access some functions (e.g. change settings of video aquisition) in the main thread from within the second thread while the loop in the main thread is running. I know I have to use messages to do that, but SendMessage needs a pointer to the main window, and I can't pass a CWnd * to the secondary thread. So, how do I call a main thread function from a secondary thread? Here's a sketch of what I have now: //in main control: pThread = (CUIThread*)AfxBeginThread(RUNTIME_CLASS(CUIThread)); pThread->m_pMainWnd = FromHandle(this->m_hWnd);//this does not work //in UIThread class: CUIThread::InitInstance() { CWnd * cwnd = m_pMainWnd; m_plot = new Plot_dialog(cwnd); return TRUE; } //in Plot_dialog: Plot_dialog::Plot_dialog(CWnd* pParent) {} Plot_dialog::UpdateSetting() { pParent->SendMessage(WM_PLOT_TO_MAIN, 0, (LPARAM) &CCM); } Tag: Dialog in DLL - plain win32 Tag: 247759

    - memory allocation problems Hello, this is probably most fundamental but I don't code in C++ often and I'm just not getting why the code is crashing with a: Unhandled exception at 0x77f75a58 in FileIOTest.exe: User breakpoint I have a function that calls this line of code: char* buffer = new char[sizeof(char) * (strlen(curtime) + strlen(msg) + 3)]; The first time I call the function, all is well but subsequent times it crashes with the above exception. All I'm doing is a strcpy, strcat and writing to a file in the funciton and then I delete buffer memory using delete. What could the problem be. Sorry is this is just really stupid...

    - Converting a 4 byte char to a double Hi there, I'm trying to convert the 4 bytes returned by a time server to a double value, I know this should be pretty straight forward but I think I have gone wrong somewhere along the lines. At the moment I am doing the following string pStrBuffer; <pStrBuffer is now assigned the value> double pDblSeconds; int pIntChar; for(pIntChar=0;pIntChar<pStrBuffer.length()-1;pIntChar++) { double pDblCurValue = 0; pDblCurValue = (int)pStrBuffer.c_str()[pIntChar]; pDblCurValue = ((int)pDblCurValue << (8*pIntChar)); pDblSeconds += pDblCurValue; } Unfortunately I am recieving 0 as my value at the moment. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

    - Passing GET variables to a CGI script from C Hi, I'm trying to pass variables to a local web page (with JavaScript) from C. I've tried to do this with ShellExecute and WinExec as follows: ShellExecute(m_hWnd, "open", "file:///c:/some_page.html?var1=some_val&var2=some_other_val", "", NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL); ... which opens up the browser and webpage correctly, but the query string gets lost along the way. I've also tried setting the QUERY_STRING environment variable prior to loading the page, which doesn't work - I'm assuming it gets overwritten when the page loads with no query string appended to the url. Any suggestions? Thanks, -Nick Tag: Dialog in DLL - plain win32 Tag: 247735

    - vector and debug mode Hi I am using vector class (via #include<vector>) as a dynamic array. vector <int> list; int array [10]; With the array definition I can se eg. the 7. element in the watch window in the debugger (when execution has stopped due to a breakpoint or an exception) by typing array[7]. This is not possible for the vector definition. Is it possible to somehow circumvent this, so I can see eg. the 7. element of the list in the watch window?? Any ideas would be welcome!

    - CHARFORMAT::dwReserved ? Hi In writing a syntax highlighter, I want to be able to tell whether a certain portion of text in the richedit control is block comments or line comments. However these will both be the same color. Is there any reason why I shouldn't use the dwReserved flag of the CHARFORMAT structure? It says in the documentation 'reserved - must be zero'. But does that actually mean 'reserved - completely ignored' ? Tag: Dialog in DLL - plain win32 Tag: 247715

Similarly, in Line B a non-static method 'DummyFn' is allowed to be invoked from the static method. Why is it so? TIA, Sucharit Tag: Dialog in DLL - plain win32 Tag: 247713

Dear All,

This may be an age-old question, but I'm having trouble loading a dialog
from a DLL and haven't been able to find any solutions on the internet.

In my DLL, i have a dialog resource, and I create a modal dialog box using
win32 API's DialogBox() function.

In the executable, when I call the DLL function that loads the dialog box,
only the controls of the dialog box appears, but the frame itself doesn't.
Would someone please help me out on this one? Thank you so much!

Regards,
isa

Sorry all,

I made a stupid mistake... returned TRUE instead of FALSE in the DialogProc
for things that my function won't be handling... >_<
