 - Terminating processes My application, A say, lunches another one, B, - written somewhere else by someone else and of which I know nothing about the source code. B puts up a window showing some information. I do this with CreateProcess, and I would need my program to be able to shut B down again under various circumstances. One way of doing this appears to be with TerminateProcess (using the process handle I get back from CreateProcess). But the documentation warns me that this is a draconian operation only to be used in dire emergencies. Is there a better way?

 - Problem closing handle Anyone any idea why I could get the following exception when debugging a COM module using VB: First-chance exception in VB.EXE (NTDLL.DLL): 0xC0000008: Invalid handle If I create a ReleaseMinSize module, VB just terminates, no messages or anything. The handle was opened OK and the file I created exists and contains the right data, it's just when CloseHandle(hFile) is called that the exception is thrown. I cannot understand what's causing it.

 - Side-by-Side Assembles on XP -using mainfest for COM components Hi We have an App with COM dlls. I want to run old and new version of this App which contains different COM dll versions. I was curious if anyone has attempted Side-by-Side Assemblies on XP using a manifest??? I have a couple questions 1)Is this correct - There is a Application manifest for the EXE that lists all the dll's I want to use different versions of ?? If my App uses foo.dll and mydll.dll and foo.dll is the only one that may have multiple versions - this is the only dll that needs to be in the Application manifest??? 2)Every COM dll that I want to have multiple versions on the machine - I need to create an assemble manifest for that COM dll and the dlll will also be listed in the Application manifest??? Where do the assemble manifest get stored??? How does windows find them to read??? 3)The old and new app would have different versions of COM dlls. If I have a COM dll foo1.dll and that #imports of COM dlls foo2.dll and foo3.dll - do I list all 3 dll in the application manifest??? Do I need 1 assemble manifest for each dll??? 4)Do I need to list only the dll's that I know will be different between the 2 Apps??? If I need msado015.dll but it doesn't matter what version - do I need to list in application manifest?? Any other helpful tips ???

 - Explicitly calling constructors/destructors Suppose you have a memory pointer to some allocated memory and a class. How can you call the constructor of the class so that it operates on your memory? The same question goes for the destructor. Something like this: class A; void* tmp_buff; ((A*)tmp_buff)->A(); ((A*)tmp_buff)->~A(); Tag: How to popup a chat-dialog by hotkey when playing game in full scr Tag: 243005

 - new and delete operators for a class.. I want to add a new operator for one of my classes, that looks like this: void* operator new(size_t Size, void* tag); What should look like the delete operator? If I use something like this: void operator delete(void* Buffer, void* tag) it will not be called when I "delete" a class instance. If I use a delete operator like this: void operator delete(void* Buffer) It will be called, but I will get a complie warning because it's not matching my new operator. So, what is the right delete operator? Tag: How to popup a chat-dialog by hotkey when playing game in full scr Tag: 243001

 - Using GDI+ in C++ Hi there, I'm having problems include gdiplus.h in my C++ application, I get a huge list of compiler errors. My stdafx.h looks like this #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN // Exclude rarely-used stuff from Windows headers #include <windows.h> #include <windowsx.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <malloc.h> #include <memory.h> #include <tchar.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <string> #include <time.h> #include <iostream> #include <Winsock2.h> #include <gdiplus.h> << Causes 560 build errors! using namespace std; I've tried removing WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN but that just caused different errors to occur. Any ideas with this one? I'm hoping that I do not need to use MFC or ATL with this do I? I need to use only standard windows libraries. Thanks loads in advance!! BTW.

 - VC 7 DLL Export Hello, i want to create a dll with some exported functions. Normally this isnt a problem, but with VC 7 and my current problem ive got the following Linker warning/error: warning LNK4017: EXPORTS statement not supported for the target platform; ignored I created the project using the "Win32 Project->DLL" wizard. The function to export is defined as WINAPI and listed in the EXPORTS section of the def file. Without the def file all things are compiled/linked without problem, but also without export ;) Thank you for any ideas in advance.

 - Do you think this is possible? I have a third party 'EXE' that contains a number of windows in it. By sending a message to the EXE I can get it open any screen. But I need this screen to be created in *my* windows app ! or at least to set the parent of the created form equal to my MDI ? Is this possible at all ? In short , what I am trying to achieve is to create something like a notepad window within my MDI. Is this possible ?

 - redrawing in control with Invalidate() I have a CStatic which displays a plot - X, Y axes, tickmarks, etc. I want to change scaling of the plot by entering new ranges of X and Y. I call an overriden OnPaint for that: CPlot::OnPaint() { this->Invalidate() CPaintDC dc(this); ... draw lines and labeles DeleteDC(dc); } The problem is that it gets redrawn on top of the prevous drawing, w/o first erasing the prevous drawing. I also tried InvalidateRec() w/o success. I guess I can fill the whole area with a background color, but this seems lame. A search of this group showed that Invalidate should work, but it doesn't! What's the solution then? BTW... is there a quota of how many questions per day one can ask here? :) I wonder if I am abusing this group.

 - Assertion error when using Free (non-local pointer) Hi all, my application uses callback function in DLL (Written in C), The DLL sniff's the network card and then allocates new data dynamically using malloc() function , Then the data (pointer) passed to the host application (MFC), After I use the data and copying it, I'm trying to free the space using Free() But I get an Assertion error, After running step by step inside MS code I see that free() function check's if the new memory was allocated inside the current app (local) , if the memory wasn't allocated inside then Assertion error occur . How do I free memory from other application? [DLL] | | | | [App] steps : 1.. Application init the DLL and run it, the DLL now runs separately from the app . 2.. when ever the DLL find network data , it will allocate memory space ,and process incoming data 3.. Then it will notify the application using callback function, and pass the application a pointer to the new allocated space. 4.. the application uses the memory 5.. Application try to free the memory using the free function - Assertion Error !!!!! Env : Vs.net IDE (NO DotNet involved , pure c/c++ code .)

 - Run-time stack frame checks - false alarm? I get a run-time check failure message, saying: "Run-Time Check Failure #2 - Stack aroung the variable ... was corrupted." 1. I'm almost sure that my stack is not corrupted! 2. When I copy the func to another file, rename the copy, and call the copy instead, the run-time check message does not show. My question is: when such a message appears, does this necessarily mean that there is a problem with the source or this may be a false alarm?

 - Multiple compiler errors - this could hurt your eyes... sources : private, but very awesomely ass-huge sources. bug : I'm compiling, and on many occasions, the compilation dies with this. it ALWAYS dies this way, i think. hint : always seems to crash on cxx files (c++ surely?) possible solution : move to gcc? informations : Compiler : Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 13.10.3077 for 80x86 -- the one that comes with Vs .net 2003 OS : Windows XP with Multilanguage user interface (we're msdn members where I work) tree : a mix of C, C++, and rarely but sometimes fortran. UC : small P4 1.7 with 512 mb RAM. strangely, all seemed to compile propely with the VC++ 6.0 compiler. Some people tell me it's just that .net plain s***s.

 - LNK4003: invalid library format -- why? I'm trying to compile and link a simple program which uses a third party DLL. When I try to link I get the error message "gci.dll : warning LNK4003: invalid library format; library ignored" I've run tool called Dependency Walker to take analyze the dll and it returned the information below, along with the warning: "Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module." Would this warning be enough to stop the link? Does anyone have any ideas about what the problem could be?

 - Exporting unmangled name from C DLL I'm new to the Microsoft C compiler and I'm having a problem. I'm trying to build a DLL from C source code and the compiler is exporting mangled names. I can't seem to figure out how to export unmangled names. Here's the source code for my function: __declspec(dllexport) long __stdcall TestExport(long integer) { return 0 ; } Can anyone explain how I can prevent the mangling? Do I have to use a DEF file to prevent mangling? I'm using this version of the compiler: Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 13.10.3077 for 80x86 Thanks in advance.

 - re-sharing memory I am experiencing a problem where the data in a structure in shared memory is not being preserved. Process A creates the shared memory, spawns and passes the name to process B Process B opens and initialises the shared memory. All comunications between processes A and B work as expected. Process B then spawns another process (C) and passes it the name of the same shared memory. When Process C attempts to read an integer value in the shared memory, I am finding it to be set to a random large number, and not the value set by Process B. Note that I did not write Process A, nor design the structure used to share memory, I simply want to read and write values in processes B and C. Does anyone know what can cause this behaviour and how to prevent it? I am using VS.Net 7.1 WinXP.

 - Function pointers and dynamically loaded DLLs In my program, I load dynamically a DLL and I'm able to get a function pointer of type "int (__cdecl *)(void)" of any function in the DLL. If a DLL has a static class function, which calls the constructor and returns a pointer to the constructed instance of the class, then I don't have any problems. However, if a DLL doesn't have such static function, then I can't get it working. I'm able to get a function pointer to the class constructor, but I have no idea how to call the constructor in the way that that it also creates instance of the class (with 'operator new' obviously). Calling just the constructor, of course, doesn't return a valid instance of the class. The header of the DLL is basically like this: class dllclass { public: __declspec(dllexport) virtual ~dllclass(); __declspec(dllexport) dllclass(); __declspec(dllexport) virtual void dosomething1(); __declspec(dllexport) virtual void dosomething2(); __declspec(dllexport) virtual void dosomething3(); }; I cannot change the DLL, so that kind of workaround isn't possible. Any suggestions? Is it even possible? Thanks in advance. PS. I originally posted this to comp.lang.c++, but was asked to post it to this newsgroup instead since it'll require some compiler specific code to work.

 - sendto() return WSAEINTR Hi all, Sorry that maybe I should not post it here, but it seems that HERE there are the experts. I wrote a program, which receive data from USB and then call sendto() to send the data to this machine's own network port, and then a download application will handle the packets. On one machine this program works well, but on many other machines, sendto() just return WSAEINTR. With this return value, I have no idea how to modify my program or do sth else to solve the problem. I did not get a good answer from MSDN about WSAEINTR. Anyone know the solution? Thank you in advance.

 - my function is already defined in myDialog.obj! Please help Hi, I am pretty good with c++ but quite new with the visual studio environment and especially the MFC so if this is an obvious problem please excuse me but I still need help! Here it is. I created a simple dialog (my dialog class is BlobeyDlg) based program as a matter of fact I haven't added anything to it except the following code for when the user clicks on the ok button: GLInterface a; a.dostuff(); and of course I have added #include "GLInterface.h" at the top now in GLInterface.h I have: #include "someincludes.h" GLInterface { ... private: static GLInterface* inst; ... }; GLInterface * GLInterface::inst = 0; I get an error during the linking phase of the build: Blobey error LNK2005: "private: static class GLInterface * GLInterface::inst" (?inst@GLInterface@@0PAV1@A) already defined in BlobeyDlg.obj Blobey fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found I have never added my own structure to a program in this environment before and I think its pretty clear I'm not integrating something correctly.

 - Strange unresolved external I have a WTL MDI application. I have a template class I am using as a base class for all docking windows. Any window I have that needs to be docked is derived from this template class: // Base docking window template class template <class TThisWnd, class TImplWnd, class TWndTraits> class WBaseDockingWnd : public CWindowImpl<WBaseDockingWnd, TImplWnd, TWndTraits> { }; // Properties window class WPropertiesWnd : public WBaseDockingWnd<WPropertiesWnd, CListViewCtrl> The problem I am having has to do with the fact that one of the member functions of WBaseDockingWnd is calling the GetSystemMetrics() Win32 API function. When the linker comes to linking the actual implementations (i.e. my properties window) it complains that GetSystemMetrics() is unresolved, even though it managed to resolve it just fine for the other places where I am using it. I turned on the /VERBOSE option for the linker and this is what it is telling me: // Found it fine when I used it in MainFrame.cpp Found __imp__GetSystemMetrics@4 Referenced in MainFrame.obj Loaded user32.lib(USER32.dll) // Error in PropertiesWnd.cpp PropertiesWnd.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _xGetSystemMetrics@4 I noticed that the mangled names don't match in the two references. I don't know if that makes any difference though. When I call GetSystemMetrics() from within my base docking window class I do qualify it with the global scope operator (e.g. ::GetSystemMetrics()) so it should be resolving to the correct function. I don't have any function I have implemented with the same name. Any one know what is going on here? Thanks Tag: How to popup a chat-dialog by hotkey when playing game in full scr Tag: 242842

Please tell me i'm wrong. The problem is Paint, must set also some private members of the class rc, and .. this is the problem.. because is not member .. I will write some code (i guess is easy to undestand) class rc { private: int x; public: function1(); friend BOOL CALLBACK paint(HWND hwChild,LPARAM lParam); } rc::function1() { .... EnumChildWindows(hWnd, Paint, (LPARAM)&p); } BOOL CALLBACK Paint(HWND hwChild,LPARAM lParam) { //must set somehow x.... } it's posibile ?

 - Exporting global data from a DLL to an EXE Hi, I have a "Win32 Application" and I must use some global data defined(and initialized) in a DLL linked to the Application. As suggested by MSDN,I have exported this global data from the DLL in this way: - In the DLL, I have used the keyword DLLEXPORT - In the EXE I have used the keyword DLLIMPORT But when I run the EXE the application crashes! The problem is that, in the EXE, the imported global data are all equal to zero and the application doesn't see the initializationsdone in the DLL! Does someone know where is the problem? Thanks to All. M Tag: How to popup a chat-dialog by hotkey when playing game in full scr Tag: 242815

 - GetObject() and BITMAP.bmBitsPixel Hi, Env: Windows2000 SP4, VC++ 6.00 I always get an wrong BITMAP.bmBitsPixel when geting BITMAP using GetObject(). For example, (1) I created 32*32, 4bit(16color) bitmap file without compression by Windows' Painter or just by VC's IDE Resource Editor; (2) Load it by LoadImage() from my harddiskm, or by LoadBitmap() from the Resource; (3)get BITMAP as follows, BITMAP bm; int iRet = GetObject(hBmp, sizeof(BITMAP), &bm); Then, I got bm.bmBitsPixel = 32(WHY NOT 4?)? And bm.bmWidthBytes = 128(WHY NOT 4) No matter the orignal file is 8bit(256color), 16bit, or 24bit, bm.bmBitsPixel always = 32, and bm.bmWidthBytes = 128. But if the orignal file is 1bit(monochrome), then bm.bmBitsPixel = 1. Tell me why if you could. Thanks! William Tag: How to popup a chat-dialog by hotkey when playing game in full scr Tag: 242807

 - Best way to implement a double buffer drawing (flicker free) class. Hi I want to do basic class for flicker free drawing so that I can use it in my projects. I am still not sure what is the best way to do it. At the moment I have been doing it the following: class CFlickerFree { ... CBitmap m_bmBackGroundBitmap; CBitmap m_bmMemBitmap; CDC m_dcMemBackGround; CDC m_dcMemDC; ... }; So the pair m_bmBackGroundBitmap/m_dcMemBackGround is used to store (permanently) the background of the window (for example the wooden chess board - without pieces), and the pair m_bmMemBitmap/m_dcMemDC is used for drawing the current situation (a chess board with pieces,,, someone moved ...), so it holds temporary the current picture (drawn to the screen). So on windows class OnDraw() funktion, I will just call: m_FlickerFree.Draw(pDC); where CFlickerFree m_FlickerFree; So CFlickerFree 's Draw does the actual BitBlt for pDC, and the picture can be seen on the windows client. Question regarding this: Is it good to have those memory DC's like I have so that they are members of the class *or* is it better to always create(/delete) them temporary on Draw-funktion (so that they are not members on CFlickerFree class)? Is it the same? I think the bitmap must be a class member (??),,, or could it be bettter to reload the bitmap every time you draw (I dont think so ..)? ''' Then another implementation question regarding this. Next I want to create a class taking care of moving bitmaps/sprites --- this could be for example a chess piece picture on the board. Is it a good idea to first create a CFlickerFree object for the chess board picture, and then create another similar , say CPiece, class which again holds the memory CDC and corresponding bitmat objects (for the piece piecture) as a *members* of this class? And then first BitBlt this CPiece object onto CFlickerFree and after that call CFlickerFree 's Draw funktion with Windows pDC parameter to bitblt the whole picture onto the screen? Any better idea? If I ponder this myself it might take couple of days, so you can greatly help me here... maybe you have done this before? thanks Tag: How to popup a chat-dialog by hotkey when playing game in full scr Tag: 242797

 - namespace giving C2059 I am trying to port some code to Visual C++.net from codewarrior. My code defines a struct "vec3" which apparently conflicts with something in directx (somehow it worked fine in codewarrior). To solve this I tried putting my declarations in a namespace like this: namespace sk { struct vec3 { // my stuff }; // other declarations } This gives error C2059: syntax error : 'namespace' which points right to line 1. Every namespace dec in the code (including those that have always worked in codewarrior) seems to be giving this error, EXCEPT in modules that don't include any win32 header files.

 - Proper Reading of MAP/COD files I am wondering if I am doing this right. Generally, if and when I get a DR WATSON report from a customer, I can use this to zoom in on the fault in our code simply by looking at the OP codes in the report and finding it in our COD files. In most cases, this is sufficient to find whatever is the problem. In my last release I added a C++ exception trap and it is now recording the fault in my own custom log file. Here is an example fault recorded: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Application exception occurred: Date : 2/16/2005 4:04:50 AM Computer : TPAP1IMWMA03 ---- Exception Information ---- Exception : C0000005 - Access Violation Location : 0832757A Access Address : 00000001 (read) Registers : EAX=00000001 EBX=00000000 ECX=1E166780 EDX=00000038 : ESP=11E0C8E8 EBP=1E166780 ESI=1E166AE8 EDI=7C57B5A8 : EIP=0832757A EFLGS=00010283 : CS=001B SS=0023 DS=0023 ES=0023 FS=003B GS=0000 Stack Trace : 1E224F20 00000000 00000000 00000000 : 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 : 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 : 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 : 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 : 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 : 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 : 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 The location 0x0832757A is my DLL module, XYZ.DLL (we load our DLLS in 0x08xxxxxx ranges), plus I know that based on other report info (not shown) showing the calling parent which uses this XYZ.DLL module. In lieu of working on a similar OP code dump showing the fault location (something I will check out in the future), using the XYZ.MAP file, I see the location is near: 0001:00026540 ?ZapArray@TScriptExecutor@@AAEXXZ 08327540 f exec.obj 0001:00026580 ?ZapString@TScriptExecutor@@AAEXXZ 08327580 f exec.obj Based in this, the fault occured in the ZapArray() function? Correct? So next I took the difference: 0x0832757A 0x08327540 ---------- 0x3A = 58 bytes and looked in the EXEC.COD file, for the ZapArray function and counted 3A bytes. Am I correct so far? The problem is that the ZapArray() ends at 0x33 bytes. Am I going about this correctly?

 - CRichEdit2View msftedit.dll RichEdit50w msftedit_class I'm trying to use a CRichEditView in VC++ .NET 2003, but I want it to conform to RTF 4.1 or 5.0, using msftedit.dll. I've tried everything I can, but I can't get it to stop trying to load riched20.dll. I've noticed that Wordpad in XP will handle the new RTF, but the WORDPAD example in VC.NET will not. When I look at the XP Wordpad with a hex editor, I see references to CRichEdit2View, which is not documented anywhere I can find. Looks like MS has developed a new class to handle the new msftedit.dll, but hasn't passed that on to anyone. Does anyone have the source code for the new XP Wordpad, or an MFC Class that implements RichEdit50W? I've tried modifying afxrich.h, richedit.h, winctrl4.h, viewrich.h, etc., to use #define MSFTEDIT_CLASS L"RichEdit50W", but it's not working. Maybe I need to recompile VS.NET after I modify the files. How do I do this? Anyone have source code for this or an answer?

 - Are definitions supposed to be uppercase? I've been criticized for using lowercase in definition names like this. #define PadKey ((wParam>=33)&&(wParam<=40)) What are the reasons for using uppercase PADKEY instead? Does using all uppercase avoid confusion and look nice, is mixing cases worse for other reasons? Mainly curious.

How to popup a chat-dialog by hotkey when playing game in full screen mode?

I want to make a program to do this, then I can play games while chating
with my friends. The question is the game should still in full screen mode
and still be running when the dialog pop up. The two should coexistence.

these api will help
SetWindowPos(...) this will bring your Window above all the window.

and for HOTKEY you have to register the hotkey using RegisterHotkey(...) and
listen for WM_HOTKEY message.

hope these help you out
