I think VC++ is the best language for making Embedded system. You can do almost every thing using C++.

Certainly yes.
But most probably C will be used more often.
It probably depends on what your code will run:
On a 8-Bit microcontroller or on a embedded PentiumIII equvalent with 256MB of RAM and a Harddisk.

Start with Yashwant Kanetkars's book on VC++. AFAIK it is the best book for beginners.

hi Suresh
1)Programming Windows With MFC- by Jeff Prosise -Good for VC++
2)Programming Windows by Charles Petzold -Excellent for Win32
3)Programming Microsoft Visual C++ by -David Kruglinski ,Scot Wingo ,George Shepherd -Another Good one for VC++
Hope that helps

Dear All,
I used memproof on win2000 and it seems doesn't work on winxp. Could you please give me some suggestion of memory leak detecting tools on winxp?
I tried GlowCode and I don't like it.
Best regards,

You can use the UMDH.exe tool which come with the "Debugging Tools For Windows" package.

Hi Steve,
Thanks! I downloaded debug-tools-for-windows (dbg_x86_6.6.03.5.exe) from ms$. Emm... umdh.exe looks like a very powerful tool. I don't really make too much sense of it yet. ..... still need sometime to learn.
Thank you!
Best regards,

hi!
I want to create a clistctrl with corresponding button (like there's a button on the right side of 2nd column and 4th column) for each row.
Please help how to do this.
Thanks!

|

Well, I have no experences about this at all. I just think that if I was assigned this task, I probably just draw a bitmap (looks like a button) as item background and handle single click event of this list. Em... I don't think this is a good idea at all. Have you searched list control on codeproject website? Some list controls are really cool!
Best regards,
Chris

I'm testing my parallel port with the Borland C 5.5 compiler:
.....
.....
.....
while(!kbhit())
{
int data;
data=(inp32)(PORT+1);
gotoxy(3,10);
printf("Data available in status register: %3d (Decimal), %3X (hex)\n", data, data);
printf("\n Pin 15: %d",(data & 0x08)/0x08);
printf("\n Pin 13: %d",(data & 0x10)/0x10);
printf("\n Pin 12: %d",(data & 0x20)/0x20);
printf("\n Pin 11: %d",(data & 0x80)/0x80);
printf("\n Pin 10: %d",(data & 0x40)/0x40);
delay(10);
}
When I compile the program, it gives the following error:
Error: Unresolved external '_delay' reference from location
Why I getting this error?
What is the use of delay(10) and gotoxy(3,10) in the program? Please advice.
Thank You

It's been a while since I used Borland (this is a Visual C++ / MFC board . . . )
But from the name, Delay(X) will delay X milliseconds then return.
And gotoxy(x,y) will put the cursor at (x,y) on the screen. Looking at the values, x and y are in character coordinates, so gotoxy(3,10) probably puts the cursor position at the 10th (or 11th) character in the 3rd (or 4th) line.

The problem is I can't access the Delay() functionn using the new Borland 5.5 C compiler. Why?
|
|

kbhit() and delay() are DOS (16-bit real mode) functions that are only exist in the libraries for the old Borland C++ (not Borland C++Builder) compilers. That free compiler you're using is the same compiler used in certain versions of C++Builder, so it only builds Win32 programs, not 16-bit real-mode programs.
If you really want the use the free Borland compiler, you'll have to write a Win32 Console-Mode program (I don't know how you would specify that mode with the free compiler). You would use the Win32 function Sleep() in place of delay(), and you'd need to access the parallel port's I/O ports using a DLL to allow 32-bit protected-mode access. The most common one seems to be inpout.dll from http://www.logix4u.net/[^]
