    - Smart pointer types of MSXML The code is from MSDN: // Initialize objects and variables. IXMLDOMDocument2Ptr pXMLDoc = NULL; IXMLDOMParseErrorPtr pError = NULL; ... // Clean up and destroy objects. if (pXMLDoc) pXMLDoc.Release(); if (pError) pError.Release(); pXMLDoc and pError seems like pointer type since they are initialized with "NULL". Then how can their member function "Release()" is called using "pXMLDoc.Release()" and "pError->Release()"? What for to call "Release()" here? If to releasing memory, then as smart pointers, they should have already done that at the exit of the scope? How exactly such smart pointer types defined for IXMLDOMDocument2Ptr? Thanks!

    - strange behavior of Vector Hi, I'm still working on my Book Class using vector. due to a strange behavior of vector function : push_back(), i decided to do a simple test. the result is absolutely the same...it's to say : I wrote this : //------------- vector<int> Pokus; Pokus.push_back(10); Pokus.push_back(20); when i control in my Local window the values, i have : Pokus _MyFirst 10 _MyLast *? a random value but not 20 _Myend *? the same random value than _MyLast so i was thinking that push_back function reallocate memory in case of need...but it seems to not work. Does anyone already had this behavior or just me ? thx, Maileen Tag: convert string to LPSTR Tag: 231844

    - Cannot add fields at runtime to a CDaoRecordSet class I solved this once before using VC++ and CDaoRecordSet, but I am looking for a better solution - even though I have the sinking feeling that what I am attempting to accomplish is not possible. Here is the issue (at least a pared down version of it): My VC++ MFC application has a Microsoft Access file Networks.mdb which currently has six fields. The problem arises when I want to add another (or seventh) field. There is no problem updating the CPP (or class file) for this file - Networks.mdb. I am able to successfully bind a new variable for the new field. But of course this means I can no longer read the old MDB file without throwing an exception. Which is not unexpected since the number of elements (6) no longer matches the new class file where m_nFields is now set to 7. So my question is there a way to open this mismatched MDB file at runtime so that I can retrieve the records and safe them in the new MDB file. Of course the added problem is both MDB files have the same name. TIA. Michael T. Tag: convert string to LPSTR Tag: 231820

    - Object properties change without reason Hi Consider an object from a child class B with the parent class A. I create an Object of class B in a function that can return a pointer to the class A, then I return the Object's pointer through the function. After examining the returned Object in debug mode, like (B *) ReturnedObject, I see that some properties has got invalid. These properties are pointers to other objects of the other classes that I had created in the function and gave their pointers to my Object. But after returning it these sub-objects are gone!!

    - C++ Object size Hello all, I want to find out is how much memory is being used by each class (and thus the object) in my application. This includes differentiating between the memory allocated for functions and memory allocated for static data (like arrays, constants etc.) Does anyone know of any utility that will allow me to obtain this information AFTER linking my application with other libraries? I tried to interpret the linker generated MAP file for this, but there seems to be no documentation on MSDN to interpret the keywords in the MAP file. If not another utility, does anyone know how to interpret the MAP file for individual objects/classes? Thanks, Adwait Tag: convert string to LPSTR Tag: 231790

    - LogonUser and ImpersonateLoggedOnUser Hi! I'm developing the setup of an application. It needs to write in registry and extract files on certain directories. The files are extracted using scripting interface (JScript) processed in my setup using odl to define new functions. The setup evaluate if current user have administrator privileges and, if he doesn't have them, it let you introduce username and password and change the current user with LogonUser and ImpersonateLoggedOnUser. This actions are done at the beginning and goes well (I can write in local machine entry of registry), but, when I extract files, the administrator privileges are lost. Does anyone knows how to resolve this? Does the scripting machine have their own privileges or is it multithread or something? Thanks at all Jordi Tag: convert string to LPSTR Tag: 231783

    - Convert String to Variable I have a form which has a series of TextBoxes on it which are named bin0, bin1, bin2, ... On the form I have an array defined called bin[20] which holds integer values and the contents are changed by other code which returns the variable npod. If npod = 1 then I increment bin[1] and then on the form I changed bin1->Text = bin[1].ToString() I started with just a few bin variable an didn't use an array so I performed the update with a case statement and hard coded each TextBox update with the name like above. What I want to do know is create a string which hold the name of the TextBox and use this value to change the text in the box. So my question is how do I code the program, so that once I have a string which holds the TextBox name, it will know that this is the TextBox name and now just a string? Here's an example of what I want to do: Old Code ======= bin1->Text = bin1.ToString(); New Code Which Doesn't Work ====================== String* thebin = String::Concat(S"Bin", npod.ToString()); thebin.ToString()->Text = bin[npod].ToString(); Thanks!!!

    - crash occuring when linking to a DLL I created a DLL and compiled it in release mode and under code generation Multithreaded DLL. My exe that calls my DLL is compiled in debug mode and under code generation Debug Multithreaded DLL in my dll the function i'm calling is string IESettings::GetFTPAddrLAN() { return ftpaddrLAN; } In my exe i'm running this code but i keep getting a messagebox "User breakpoint called from code at 0x77f75a58" and it pulls up assembler code. if (IEobj.GetFTPAddrLAN().empty()) In another part of my code i was getting the same crash due to passing a string to a dll function. Apparently when the function exited it died i believe in the deconstructor of the string. I changed it to a char* and everything worked fine. My question is do i have to change my all my classes in my dll to not have strings at all or is there a way to get strings to work from exes across to dlls?

    - How does the linker work? Hi, I'm pretty new to C++ and decided it might be a good idea to create a library of reusable code for me. With Visual Studio .NET 2003 I gave my library 4 different configurations Debug Release DebugUnicode ReleaseUnicode (Debug & Release is the default stuff... DebugUnicode & ReleaseUnicode is the same switched to Unicode characters). Building these 4 configs is pretty easy. I named the resulting libs differently and VS can find them in the lib path somewhere. Now I create a new project and want to use the library. I create the same 4 configs for my project and for some reason VS links to the correct lib file. Is there any information on which lib is chosen by the linker and why? Is there any useful documentation out there that explains the process of linking? (So far I only found documentation on many different options that modify that process in some way, but that's pretty meaningless until I get an idea of that process). I'm targetting Win32.

    - What do you use with Visual Studio 6.0 I'm interested in putting together a web page with some good tips on what one should use with Visual Studio 6.0. Why? For many different reasons, a lot of developers out there still continue to use 6.0 and I imagine that this will continue for a few more years. So, why not try to share the tricks we've all gathered over the years. Some of this might apply to the later VS.NET systems as well. The page is at: http://www.redwoodsoft.com/~dru/tech/msvc.html There are no ads or pop-ups etc. What I want to capture is: *I'm specifically focused on C++ development* What addins/tools do you use? Does XYZ really work? I'm more of an ATL/WTL developer (no MFC). Here are the things I'm looking into: The problems with the STL have gotten me looking at the different options there. STLPort looks good and I'm looking at that since it gets around the DLL requirement. I'm starting to get some of the Boost libs into my projects. (regex, smart ptrs, etc.) I use it at work, and the smart ptrs work well. What stuff doesn't work well with 6.0? On a rainy day, I'm also going to look at the new free Visual Studio C++ 2003 Toolkit. Can that be made to work inside our old 6.0? I have listed my useful info on the site. (What add-ins, etc.) What tools do you use? Is there a great blog/place on the net for 6.0? <Note: I posted this once yesterday, but I'm cross posting today to get more feedback, hopefully positive :-) > Tag: convert string to LPSTR Tag: 231738

    - Set up a member function pointer to another class's public functio Hi all, My appologies for the length of this posting. Problem: I am getting a compiler error "C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'int (__thiscall CDigitalIO::*)(int)' to 'int (__cdecl *)(int)'" for the line "m_fnRunKOMotor = m_digitalIO.SetFirstKOMotorRun;" in Knockout.cpp. Data: // Knockout.cpp: #include "Knockout.h" #include "DigitalIO.h" extern CDigitalIO m_digitalIO; BOOL TestFunction(BOOL state) { return m_digitalIO.SetFirstKOMotorRun(state); } CKnockout::CKnockout(BOOL firstKO) { if (firstKO) { m_fnRunKOMotor = TestFunction; m_fnRunKOMotor = m_digitalIO.SetFirstKOMotorRun; } else { m_fnRunKOMotor = m_digitalIO.SetSecondKOMotorRun; } } void CKnockout::StartKnockout() { m_fnRunKOMotor(TRUE); //or is it: (*m_fnRunKOMotor)(TRUE); } //End Knockout.cpp // Knockout.h: class CKnockout { public: CKnockout(BOOL firstKO=TRUE); virtual ~CKnockout(); public: void StartKnockout(void); private: BOOL (*m_fnRunKOMotor)(BOOL firstKO); }; //End Knockout.h: Background: I read the posting from Dieter Duwe from 6/7/2004 and sure enough I need to choose the funtion to be called at runtime. I started out by storing the value of firstKO passed into the contstructor into a member variable to be used in an if statement by the function StartKO to determine whether m_digitalIO.SetFirstKOMotorRun or m_digitalIO.SetSecondKOMotorRun is called. This solution clutters up the code too much when this test is applied to the 25 other functions not listed here. Second attempt involves "m_fnRunKOMotor = TestFunction;" which is a small compiler successful step to where I want to go. Thus, I have arrived at the question of how to set up a member function pointer to a public function in an external class? Thanks, Dan Tag: convert string to LPSTR Tag: 231734

Apart from using the following Merge Modules: as well as the merge modules found at the crystal site. Are there any other Merge modules/DLL that we need to consider?

People must have been doing it before dotnet came to town, and they must have left records before their civilization crumbled. I'm trying to learn from material in the platform sdk docs. Is it any easier with the ATL COM Wizard, and if so, is there any good instruction on what you do after the Wizard generates the framework code for a service? If it really is pointless to do it any other way than the dotnet way, why? And BTW, can VC++ 6.0 be set up to produce dotnet code?

    - Forcing A Symbol Into A DLL While building a DLL, I need to force a symbol defined in a static library into the linked image presumably using the link option /INCLUDE:symbolname briefly explained in the MS documentation, however, true to the typical MS documentation, no examples are provided that demonstrate how such a symbol name should be constructed, and nothing I have tried works. Can someone explain how a valid symbol name is constructed from C++ function names in a library that link will accept? -- ====================================================================== ====================================================================== == == Bob Riedel == Beckman Coulter, Incorporated == PO Box 8000 W-529 == 200 S Kraemer Blvd == Brea CA 92822-8000 == == Email 1: rariedel@beckman.com == Email 2: rariedel@mindspring.com == == == The opinions expressed are my own, and do not necessarily represent == those of Beckman Coulter, Inc. == ====================================================================== ====================================================================== == == "Effective education is the key to successful democracy." == == "Criticizing the actions of others offers so little risk, and == requires so little effort that it is, without exception, the tool == of the lazy and of the foolish -- who have neither the intelligence == to discover, nor the discipline to pursue, a realistic == alternative." == ====================================================================== ====================================================================== Tag: convert string to LPSTR Tag: 231693

    - Multiple Language App VC++ Hi! I am looking for possibilities how to write an app with VC++ .net which supports multiple user interface languages. e.g. my app should automatically support the language which is configured within the OS (WINDOWS 2000/XP) I read about language-specific resource-dlls, another question is if/how I could use UNICODE for this task ? any help with this would be greatly appreciated, thanx in advance! best regards, Hans ------------------------------------------------------ My eMail-address has been changed due to spam. eMail-replies can be sent to hpesata@chello.at Tag: convert string to LPSTR Tag: 231688

    - Avoiding decorated names in C++ DLL export?? hi, I'm writing an application that needs to load plugins provided by users in c++ dlls. These dll's have to follow certain conventions, that is: they must implement two mandatory methods. (each User plugins is derived from a plugin base class that declares these two methods as virtual). So I tried to write a sample plugin for testing that will export a class. Here's what I have in the .h file: extern "C" { class ExamplePlugin : public Plugin { public: __declspec(dllexport) ExamplePlugin(); __declspec(dllexport) ~ExamplePlugin(); __declspec(dllexport) void run(YAIL::YAILDataType<int>& f_input, YAIL::YAILDataType<int>& f_output, std::string f_parms); __declspec(dllexport) bool setMyMember(std::string name, std::string value); private: int m_memberA; char* m_memberB; }; }//end extern "C" The c++ looks like this #include "ExamplePlugin.h" extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) ExamplePlugin::ExamplePlugin() { int m_memberA = 0; char* m_memberB = "YAILExamplePlugin"; } extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) ExamplePlugin::~ExamplePlugin() { } extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) void ExamplePlugin::run(YAIL::YAILDataType<int>& f_input, YAIL::YAILDataType<int>& f_output, std::string f_parms) { } extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) bool ExamplePlugin::setMyMember(std::string name, std::string value) { return true; } Now, I'd like to load the Plugin on my main program using LoadLibrary (which works fine) and then try to see if my mandatory plugin functions (i.e 'run') do exist: MYPROC ProcAdd = (MYPROC) GetProcAddress(hInst, "run"); However, this doesnt work, and I figured out why: When I take a look at the dll in a tool like the dependecy walker, it is showing me decorated names like ?run@YAILExamplePlugin@@UAEXAAV?$YAILDataType@H@YAIL@@0V?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@@Z although I use extern "C" calling convention. so the question is: What am I doing wrong ?! Of course, If I do MYPROC ProcAdd = (MYPROC) GetProcAddress(hInst, "?run@YAILExamplePlugin@@UAEXAAV?$YAILDataType@H@YAIL@@0V?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@@Z "); it works, but I need to do it in a generic way and just use getProcAddr(hInst, "run"). Any idead anyone what I need to change in the DLL that no decorated names will get generated? And what about the Constructor/Destructor of my class ? Do I need to treat them in a special way when I'd like to export then? Thanks in advance Simon Tag: convert string to LPSTR Tag: 231684

    - Really late binding I use VC++ as a tool not as a primary focus of my professional life. I am trying to think of a way to write an application, e.g., an equation solver, that will allow it to run and accept as input VC valid statement (literally) in a edit box that would then be incorporated in a function and when "the button is pushed" will execute that code. I think there is a straight forward way to do that, but I have my mind locked on path that is not producing results, i.e., it would not compile without that code in place.

    - vc60.pdb problems Hi, can anyone explain to me why the failure to find vc60.pdb is a fatal error in one of my workspaces and only a warning under a different workspace? As far as I can see, this should NEVER be a fatal error. All it means is that you get no debugging information for the library in question. Under one workspace, the error is: CVPACK: fatal error CK1022: cannot open program database c:\... Under the other workspace, the warning is: LNK 4099: PDB "vc60.pdb" was not found with c:\..... or at c:......, linking object as if no debug info. In both cases the pdb file does NOT exist. totally puzzled Russell Thamm Tag: convert string to LPSTR Tag: 231654

Hi Maileen,

a LPSTR is NOT always a char*. Depending on what operating system you are
using, LPSTR can be defined as char* or wchar_t*. But you can always safely
use TCHAR to address individual characters.

No,
LPSTR is always char*
LPWSTR is always wchar_t*
LPTSTR is either char* or wchar_t* depending on _UNICODE

Similarly,
CHAR = char
WCHAR = wchar_t
TCHAR = either char or wchar_t depending on _UNICODE
