The header comes with an SDK. Unless you install the SDK and follow its instructions on setting
the development environment to where the header/lib/exe files can be found then the compiler
isn't going to find it.

The RTL provides srand(...) and rand(...) for PRNG...

This is how you do it in C:

#include <time.h><br />
<br />
srand ((unsigned) time (NULL));<br />
...<br />
// for example<br />
	while (i < 20)<br />
	{<br />
		q = (positioner) malloc (sizeof (struct broj));<br />
		q->element = rand ();<br />
		q->next = p->next;<br />
		p->next = q;<br />
		i++;<br />
	}

Hope I helped Smile | :)

I have implemented this by using the CSocketComm Class[^]. I am basically setting up one application as a server and the other as a client, and sending messages that I can then parse and act on. The two applications talk to each other using the loopback address(127.0.0.1) and a port I specified.

This of course will only work if you have written both applications.

Transfering files via TCP/IP

In several of my programs I have been using the CSocketComm class[^] in order to send commands between applications, but what I'm not real clear on is how to transfer files. I'm assuming that I will use a CFile or similar on the client side to read the bytes and transfer to the server, which will re-assemble them into another CFile, but I'm lacking in the specifics such as how many bytes to send at a time etc. Does anyone know of a good tutorial that I can read for some help, or is it as simple as I have stated above.

Thanks as always for your help,
Dustin

I think you'd want to use CFtpConnection.

I won't actually be connecting to an FTP server, just another computer running my server application implemented with the CSocketComm class. I'm doing this so that I can retrieve current data about the system the application will be hosted on. So in escence I need to send the file from application to application and then have the server side application save the file to disk.

Thanks,
Dustin

It sounds like you have it.

Send any size chunks you want. Keep in mind the default socket internal buffer size is 8K so
for best performance keep those flushed (recv data as fast as you can Smile | :)

).
A chunk/packet size right around 500 bytes will insure each chunk fits in one TCP packet but the
protocol handles larger chunks. Without increasing the socket buffer sizes, 500 - 8K byte packets
will work well.

If you want to achieve high transfer rates you should consider setting you buffer sizes to at least 32K (e.g. read 32K chunks from a file and use a socket send buffer of 32K). Otherwise bulk data transfer will be very likely slower than 100 kB/sec.

Tip: Set the server socket send buffer to the wanted size (SO_SNDBUF and possible also SO_REUSEADDR) after you created it, sockets created from the listening socket will then inherit this settings.

Both function have similar effect, i.e. both function internally calls win32 funtion InvalidateRect, in case of
CWnd::Invalidate, it is

void CWnd::Invalidate(BOOL bErase)
	{ ::InvalidateRect(m_hWnd, NULL, bErase);//second parameter is NULL to consider whole client area
 }

In case of CWnd::InvalidateRect it is defined as

void CWnd::InvalidateRect(LPCRECT lpRect, BOOL bErase)
	{ ::InvalidateRect(m_hWnd, lpRect, bErase);//passing second parameter as NULL has same effect }

Hi everyone i have a small problem.
In my app i need to save some txt, so i'm using this code:CFileDialog fileDlg (FALSE, "txt",strFilename ,OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT| OFN_HIDEREADONLY, szFilters, this);
where for example m_strFilename="ADMA_log[01.01.2007]", and szFilters[]= "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*||";
Now i call DoModal() but i get nothing, my fileDlg m_hWnd = NULL.
I'f i change strFilename to "NULL" i get the windov but without initial filename that appears in the filename edit box!?
Help, please.
p.s.sorry for my poor english.

What is the value of _WIN32_WINNT? If it's 0x0500 or greater, you'll need to use GetSaveFileName() instead.

I tryed doing so

<br />
char szFilters[]= "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*||";<br />
<br />
CString m_SavePath = _T("");<br />
char IniDir[256];<br />
char szFile[256];<br />
char buff[256];<br />
strcpy(IniDir, fs2.GetFolder());//get's the folder path <br />
strcpy(buff,"");<br />
strcpy(szFile,buff);<br />
<br />
OPENFILENAME lpofn;<br />
lpofn.lStructSize	= sizeof(OPENFILENAME);<br />
lpofn.hwndOwner		= m_hWnd;<br />
lpofn.lpstrFile		= szFile;<br />
lpofn.nMaxFile		= sizeof(szFile);<br />
lpofn.lpstrFilter	= szFilters;<br />
lpofn.nFilterIndex	= 1;<br />
lpofn.lpstrDefExt	= "txt";<br />
lpofn.lpstrCustomFilter	= NULL;<br />
lpofn.lpstrFileTitle	= NULL<br />
lpofn.nMaxFile		= 0;<br />
lpofn.lpstrInitialDir	= IniDir;<br />
lpofn.Flags		= OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT|OFN_HIDEREADONLY;<br />
lpofn.lpstrTitle	= "Save";<br />
	<br />
if(GetSaveFileName(&lpofn))<br />
{<br />
	pMainFrm->Refresh();<br />
	strcpy(IniDir, szFile);<br />
	IniDir[lpofn.nFileOffset]=0;<br />
	m_SavePath=szFile;<br />
<br />
	// The file from which to load the contents of the rich edit control.<br />
	CFile cFile(m_SavePath, CFile::modeCreate|CFile::modeWrite);<br />
	EDITSTREAM es;<br />
<br />
	es.dwCookie =  (DWORD) &cFile;<br />
	es.pfnCallback = (EDITSTREAMCALLBACK) MyStreamOutCallback;<br />
<br />
	m_Output.StreamOut(SF_TEXT,es); // Perform the streaming<br />
}<br />

and still not working!
Did I get all lpofn parametar's right, or what?
Big thanks!!!!
