    - msflexgrid I am using msflexgrid, which gives me a very flexible tabular display, but ... Can anyone point me at some code that enables a user to type directly into a cell of the grid. Ideally I would like the grid to handle everything, as when the user has finished (s)he will click a button to say 'Done', and at that point I will pick up all the new text in the user-updateable area and process it. Can this be done? Tag: VC7.1, VC8 compiler bug Tag: 245837

    - Eliminating msvcr71.dll & msvcp71.dll dependency Hi, I'm building this dynamic link library and it's compiled with "Code Generation" option set to "Multithreaded DLL". It's designed to be linked by another DLL or EXE. From what I understand, I can't use "Multitheaded" here because multiple "static" copies of CRT running in the same process space can cause problems. (And If I set it to "Multithreaded", my program will crash in very weird parts.) So I stick to "Multithreaded DLL", and everything goes fine. The problem is that since the DLL is generated by VS.NET 2003, it has dependency on MSVCR71.DLL and MSVCP71.DLL. I know I can ship these two files with my software package. But what if I don't want to do so? Can I dynamically link to the "latest available CRT" on users' computer? Can I link to an older version such as MSVCR60.DLL and MSVCP60.DLL? Is there any compiler option to force linking an older library? Thanks in advance, -- He Shiming Tag: VC7.1, VC8 compiler bug Tag: 245829

    - Windows Forms Application Template Not Listed I've been writing command line-based applications. Tonight I thought I'd get started with Windows applications, so I searched for some tutorials on the Windows API and many resources seemed to indicate the easiest way to create a GUI is using the Windows Forms Designer (From what I've read, it's similar to designing a GUI with Visual Basic). That sounded terrific. Unfortunately I seem to hit a snag at step 1. I don't have a Windows Forms Application template listed for my project options. Although I'm fairly new to C++ programming, I'm not a novice computer user. I've checked through every group of project options, verified installation options when installing the application, and searched a few search engines for similar problems, only stumbling upon one other mention of the same problem on a message board (two or three other people chimed in saying they had the same problem), but those posts stopped about 3 months back with no resolution. Is it the version of the program I'm using? Or do I need to download additional templates somewhere? (I couldn't find any mention of it at Microsoft's site). The closest option I have to a Windows Forms Application is an MFC Application, but that doesn't seem right. I'm using Visual C++ .NET Standard 2002. Thanks for any help, Mike Tag: VC7.1, VC8 compiler bug Tag: 245827

    - Access Denied calling NewWorkItem Hi All, I've been trying to write a COM+ component in VC++ that will add tasks to the Windows Task Scheduler that it gets from a private Message Queue. I've gone through all the documentation and examples in the MSDN Library for Task Scheduler but I'm flumoxed by an error when trying to add a task to the scheduler. The code in question is: ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Call ITaskScheduler::NewWorkItem to create new task. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// LPCWSTR pwszTaskName; ITask *pITask; IPersistFile *pIPersistFile; pwszTaskName = L"Test Task"; hr = pITS->NewWorkItem(pwszTaskName, // Name of task CLSID_CTask, // Class identifier IID_ITask, // Interface identifier (IUnknown**)&pITask); // Address of task interface pITS->Release(); // Release object if (FAILED(hr)) { CoUninitialize(); fprintf(stderr, "Failed calling NewWorkItem, error = 0x%x\n",hr); return 1; } When I run this, hr is returning 0x8007005, the very annoying catch-all Access Denied error. I tried to change the LogOn for the Task Scheduler service to a Domain Account with local administrator rights, but restarting the service brings up a error: "Error 1709: The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process." Maybe because the executable is svchost.exe, and there are a lot of processes running with that one. Anyway, the error I am seeing is probably indicitive of some other underlying security or permissions problem that may cause more difficulties further down the road, so I'm focused on getting this method working as it is, rather than looking at WMI, the TaskScheduler.dll from Site Server, or third party products. Any help with this would be welcome. Regards...Andrew Tag: VC7.1, VC8 compiler bug Tag: 245826

    - USB Programming / Interfacing Hello, I would like some quick and dirty USB information if possible to give me a feel for what I'm getting into and if I should take another approach. I am designing a non-speed-critical hardware peripheral that I would like to control with a Windows XP application without getting into a programming nightmare. Internally the hardware is parallel so conceptually I'd like to simply connect it to a generic uProcessor-style ADR/DATA/RD/WR parallel interface. Some various approaches to producing this parallel interface are: Go through the PC serial port, go through the PC parallel port, go through the PC USB port, go through a PCI card that translates to a generic RW parallel port, such as FPDP. With my limited Windows knowledge, it believe the only one of these directly supported by the Windows API is the RS-232 serial port, with the remainder all requiring add-on drivers. I've done a lot of RS-232 serial programming in the past but its popularity is waning. So, my thinking is that USB would be a reasonable choice since it seems to have the brightest future among those I listed. I have looked at the numerous USB resources out there and what I'm after at this point is a thumbnail sketch of what I might need to do on both the host and client sides of USB, or maybe not use USB at all. On the host side: 1. Is there any standard API support for USB programming in any of the VS C/C++/MFC/C# libraries? 2. What would my program need to do to read/write data to an arbitrary USB peripheral? On the client side: 1. It appears that there are standard USB interface ICs available that take care of the USB protocol dirty work and transparently provide some sort of generic parallel interface to my hardware when all is said and done. Is this correct? Any suggestions, samples, resources, and comments are welcomed. Is there some other more appropriate approach I've missed? Thanks, Ray Tag: VC7.1, VC8 compiler bug Tag: 245815

    - HELP on "C" DLL internal code for LAN's and WAN's use To all wizards: I have a "C" DLL file already built and running, but I want to have the DLL accessible(callable) from anyway within a LAN and/or WAN( and even multi-WAN's), or even on a PC. I built the DLL file, via VC++'s (v6.0) ATL COM AppWizard area, and it works quite well. But as for using the DLL file on LAN's and Wan's, do I need to add any more code into the DLL file, so it will work on/under a network and be callable anywhere on a LAN's or WAN's or even on standalones by any and all application(s). If I need some additional code, can you tell me why, and can I get it in simple "C" source code. Any help would surely be greatly appreciated. Thanks(TIA), Tom.

    - Using STL with classes generated dynamically Hi -- I am currently working on a Forth-inspired virtual machine that I use as a run-time for executing domain-specific languages that are generated on the fly from visual models. This machine is created out of thin air at runtime by writing Intel assembler codes into memory for the 32 primitive instructions, the execution engine and for a rudimentary parser that can interpret and compile Forth instruction streams. Once this initialization is done, then the Forth machine accepts streams of forth words and bootstraps itself into a more full-fledged execution environment that includes a type system, classes, an intel code assembler, floating point math, etc. This is all kicked off from within some host program that must be written in a language that supports writing bytes to memory and then jumping to one of these locations to execute the code thus assembled. (I've tried to keep the host requirements limited to these two so that this scheme can also eventually work in an embedded environment with only ROM-based byte sequences to kick it off.) Please bear with me and I will get to my queson in one second; I just have to talk about one more thing to frame it correctly. The runtime environment that emerges from this scheme involves a few different levels: there's the basic intel assembler level that I have access to through the virtual machine; there's the virtual machine itself, which executes any named sequence of the underlying primitives that has been compiled into the system's code dictionary or that is presented to it for run-time interpretation (or any sequence of other such named sequences) ; and then there's the runtime of the host program. While I'm trying to keep the virtual machine simple and capable of executing in just about any environment that satisfies the two requirements I mentioned earlier and that has had an appropriate execution engine generated for it, I also want it to be able, when it's useful, to interact with both the underlying processor and with the host executable environment. I accomplish this through two of the primitives -- one that executes underlying assembly code and the other that makes far calls to the host environment. This presents a great degree of choice about which level to program specific functionality at and allows me to use facilities of a host language to handle stuff that had not yet made its way into the forth-based portable environment or that can be handled better by the host in a context where I am willing to sacrifice portability. More specifically (and more relevant to this newsgroup) when the host programming environment is a C++ executable, I would like to enable as much interaction as possible with the C++ run-time. For example I have a project coming up for a client for a simulation system for which I would like to be able to use the STL and the C++/CLI extensions for the .NET framework library. So here's my question. I want to use the type-generating and dynamic execution capabilities of my embedded Forth environment to create execution streams on the fly from visual models that the user creates and manipulates at run-time. On the other hand, in the course of executing these I would like to leverage STL containers and algorithms to take advantage of rich programming facilities like Boost and Loki (in particular the Boost Graph Library). Now I realize that by the time my application runs, code templates are gone and the only thing that remains of them are type-specific classes that have been expanded at compile time. So my original thought to somehow create new expansions with my dynamically generated types is impossible, since at that point there is nothing to expand from. However, I'm envisioning something like the following, and would just like some basic validation on whether it seems feasible to minds more experienced and wise than my own: If I gnerate my dynamic types in such a way that they are set up in memory exactly like C++ would set up its own objects, then I should be able to pass pointers to them as parameters in far calls to C++ functions and the C++ functions shouldn't know the difference. Right? (I already know this is true with simple structures, because that's how I'm invoking OS calls.) And continuing along this path, if I compile into the C++ host a template expansion of say, an STL vector or a map that has as its value type paramater a pointer to some class, then I should be able to generate my own forth types in such a way that they are set up in memory as though they inherited from this base class type. And I should be able to pass instances pointers of these classes in calls to the corresponding push_back() or find() functions of my STL container classes. As long as the instance pointed to has a correctly constructed vtable, I should be okay. Right? And the same concept should, I'm imagining, hold true for functors that I might want to pass as predicates to STL algorithms. And in fact, if I set up my functor objects so that they appear correctly to derive from the actual type I specified in the C++ template expansion, then the actual predicate functors that I pass could be typed to be aware of the actual type of object that I passed to the container as a value type and could do type-specific manipulations on those objects. I've probably lost y'all by now and of course you might ask "Why don't you just try it and see?". Unfortuinately, I'm currently doing major surgery on my underlying execution engine and am not in a position to test this out, since I didn't have the foresight to preserve a working version that would allow me to test. (Idiot!) Yet I need to decide if this approach is even feasible as I will be specing the system out for the client over the next few weeks and would love to have the comfort of knowing that I have available the full expressive power of the STL in addition to my dyamic execution engine. I realize that if my value type for the STL containers is a pointer to something, then I will have to use proper iterators that are able to call comparison functions and the like dynamically (Boost has this already, I believe). I also realize that this totally violates the spirit of compile-time template expansion type safety. But given my circumstances, I don't think I should have to give up the STL just because my needs are a little exotic. Whoever's still with me, thanks very much for slogging through this. I'd appreciate very much some informed view of the feasibility of what I've described here. And if you feel really charitable, any insights into how to generate well-formed objects with correctly formulated vtables would also be lovely.

    - How to Disable Debug? I recently installed C++ 6.0 (old, I know)... and I said "Yes" when it asked about adding debug information to Windows or SDK (or something like that). The unfortunate side-affect has been that when the server program I run crashes, a dialog box now pops up demanding user interaction to allow the process to die or "cancel and debug." This would be fine if Visual Studio was running, but it's not--I only want this sort of crash interception to occur when I'm in Visual Studio. As it stands now, the watchdog process to restart my server when it crashes is effectively nerfed because it needs to run unattended, but the debug dialog box demands a user be present. :( I un-installed all components and this crash intercept debug feature still persists. Unfortunately I didn't save a backup of my Windows folder before the install (which would have made undoing this much easier). I found some information on Microsoft's site about retail and debug versions of the SDK, but it was for an older version of DirectX. Given that background, how do I disable this crash debug feature?

    - PrintDlg() method : hDevMode and hDevName help Hello all, My code seems to be working, however I have a question about the returned PRINTDLG::hDevMode and PRINTDLG ::hDevName fields. //****Code*** PRINTDLG g_PrintDlg; //hDevMode and hDevNames = NULL DEVMODE *pdv; BOOL bRetVal, bColor; TCHAR m_szPrinterName[32]; if(bRetVal = PrintDlg(&g_PrintDlg)) { ... if(g_PrintDlg.hDevMode != NULL) { pdv = (DEVMODE *) GlobalLock(g_PrintDlg.hDevMode); lstrcpy(szPrinterName, (LPSTR) pdv->dmDeviceName); bColor = (DMCOLOR_COLOR == pdv->dmColor); GlobalUnlock(g_PrintDlg.hDevMode); } ... // When I free the global memory (below), a second call to // PrintDlg() will cause an insufficient memory error. When I // do not free the memory, everything works fine with repeated // calls to PrintDlg(). if(g_PrintDlg.hDevMode != NULL) GlobalFree(g_PrintDlg.hDevMode); if(g_PrintDlg.hDevNames != NULL) GlobalFree(g_PrintDlg.hDevMode); ... } Question : If I do not free the global memory, will this code create a leak or is there a mechanism which frees the memory that I couldn't find in MSDN? Thank You - M Tag: VC7.1, VC8 compiler bug Tag: 245637

    - Which has higher precedence & or == I have this example in a window procedure: fBlocking is BOOL and wParam is an argument of the window procedure. switch (iMsg){ // case WM_CHAR: if (fBlocking & wParam =3D=3D '\x1B'){ // } retrurn 0; // } Like this we get a warning: warning C4554: '&' : check operator precedence for possible error; use = parentheses to clarify precedence But I don't know what the precedence was expected here to put the parens = in correctly. Any ideas? --=20 George Hester _________________________________ Tag: VC7.1, VC8 compiler bug Tag: 245625

    - Simpel WIN32 Message box Hi, i got a problem. I've got VS2005 Beta 1 installed, and the newest platform SDK. I'm a newbie in the WIN32 Programming. but if i try to compile this piece of code: #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN #include <windows.h> // the main windows headers #include <windowsx.h> // a lot of cool macros int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hinstance, HINSTANCE hprevinstance, LPSTR lpcmdline, int ncmdshow) { MessageBox(NULL, "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!", "MY FIRST WINDOWS PROGRAM", MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION); return(0); } The compiller gives this error back: Linking... main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__MessageBoxA@16 referenced in function _WinMain@16 Debug/Game_02.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals Build log was saved at "file://c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Mijn documenten\Visual Studio\Projects\Game_02\Game_02\Debug\BuildLog.htm" Game_02 - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s) ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ========== Anyone knows how to solve this problem? I really like the compilers GUI, and i want to learn on this compiler :) Tag: VC7.1, VC8 compiler bug Tag: 245610

    - SetWindowWord() I have this in a Window procedure in a C program: SetWindowWord(hwnd, 0, 1^GetWindowWord(hwnd, 0)); hwnd is a handle to a CreateWindow done earlier. Now this gives a = Warning C4761: integral size mismatch in argument; conversion supplied. = So this is my fix: SetWindowWord(hwnd, 0, (WORD)(1^GetWindowWord(hwnd, 0))); I'm wondering if this would be the correct way to get rid of C4761 and = why don't I still get the warning since 1 is a long and GetWindowWord is = an unsigned short? Like 1L would be a long 1 is there a (WORD)1? --=20 George Hester _________________________________ Tag: VC7.1, VC8 compiler bug Tag: 245606

    - Boolean returns I have a routine that I want to return a boolean value from, i.e: DLL_API bool STDCALL MyRoutine(HWND hWnd) { //some code... return true; } This routine is in a dll which I'm calling from a VB exe. Sometimes the routine returns true when it clearly shouldn't have. The routine is quite simple with a few if's and some &'s and |'s. Anyhow, the code is not important because I can easily do a dry-run in my head, but the routine is not consistent in it's return values. I also use the PrintWindow api which returns a boolean which can't be relied on in c++. I know my routine works ok, because if I return an int instead, so return 1 is true and return 0 is false, everything is fine. Is there a problem with transferring boolean results from a c++ dll to a vb exe? Or is there something I've missed here? Tag: VC7.1, VC8 compiler bug Tag: 245595

    - copying data Hi, I wrote the following code: BYTE *pBuffer = new BYTE[MYBUFFERSIZE]; //[...] filling buffer with data... BYTE *currpos = NULL; UINT offset = 20;//random value, smaller than MYBUFFERSIZE, of course currpos = &pBuffer[offset]; //creates a pointer to pBuffer increased by 20 bytes This statement compiles fine, but when I run it, I find the first 4 bytes currpos points to corrupted (these 32bits contain the pointers address). Obviously, I'm casting a wrong way, but I cannot figure out what exactly I'm doing wrong....can anyone help? Thanks Peter Tag: VC7.1, VC8 compiler bug Tag: 245592

    - newbie: Addition of vars Hi, just one question: What's the difference between: int a;//replace int by any value or class that supports this int b; a = a + b; versus a += b; Is there any performance difference? Thanks Peter Tag: VC7.1, VC8 compiler bug Tag: 245587

    - A silly question Hi All, If there are two classes, they both have a pure virtual function which the signatures are exactly same. Now, can I implement & invoke them respectively if another class extends them at the same time? For example: class A { virtual void Func(void) = 0; }; class B { virtual void Func(void) = 0; }; class C : public B, public A { void Func(void); }; Thanks in advance, Best Regards, Elliott Tag: VC7.1, VC8 compiler bug Tag: 245580

    - Mouse hooks I have a neat little dll that allows resizing and dragging by clicking anywhere on the window (pressing ALT at the same time). However, I noted something interesting. If I click the title bar, my dll does nothing. Does clicking the titlebar prevent mouse hooks? If so, what would be a way around it, if there is one? Tag: VC7.1, VC8 compiler bug Tag: 245579

    - Passing a vector to a function Hi; Is it possible for to pass a vector into a function and access the elements of the vector inside that function? I tried but I am getting an error, so please help! // the following is what I am trying to do but seems like there is sothing I am missing. void readFile(char * fileName) { ifstream inFile(fileName); vector<char> doc; while (!inFile.eof()) { char ch[1]; inFile.read(ch,1); do.push_back(ch[0]); } inFile.close(); compareAndProcess(doc); } void compareAndProcess(char doc[]) { vector<char>::iterator iter; for (iter = doc.begin(); iter < doc.end(); iter++) // process each character } When I compile Iam getting the follwoing error: error C2228: left of '.begin' must have class/struct/union type error C2228: left of '.end' must have class/struct/union type So, could someone please explain if it is even possible to do; if it is possible what changes do I need to make so that it will compile. thanks in advance.

I think I stumbled over a bug in VC7.1 today, and now I see the same
behavior in VC8 beta.
Here is a simplified example:

template<class T>
struct Trait
{
typedef T& ref; // #1
};
class Foo
{
//typedef Trait<int>::ref ref; // #2
int i;
public:
operator Trait<int>::ref () { return i; }
};
// error on line #1
// error C2721: 'typedef' : storage-class specifier illegal between operator
keyword and type

Compiler produces an error message pointing online #1. But amazingly, if you
uncomment line #2, compiler happily finishes compilation without a peep.
