Hello all!
I am currently not the best programmer out there but am learning every day! I am faced with a small problem though, I know what my goals are and want to start focusing on them but im stuck choosing a compiler.
I want to do embedded arm development and move into linux arm based development and driver/gui development but at the same time I gotta face the fact that 90% of the market is windows based so I will need to be able to write windows programs to communicate with my devices. My questions is should I dive into gcc with a full linux distro and do all my development on that and then use say Visual Studio to write all my windows based client software?
Another option is to use windows exclusively and say minGW with Code::Blocks or even setup a GCC toolchain (one for windows and one for arm using Cygwin) and using wxWidgets and QT/SDL based code for portability.
The main issues is I am still a beginner and should I go all out with the environment or choose one compiler to stick with for now? Im worried that changing compilers (especially from a VS MFC setup to GCC) will be a large setback so why not start out on the end road eh?
Thanks!

You are worrying too much. Both VC++ and GCC are pretty stndard compliant these days and you won't have too much troubles switching from one to another.

Hi Member
I found keyboard hook example from codeproject.
Click here
[]
And follow these step
1.Copy KeyHook.h, KeyHook.dll, Keyhook.lib into your project directory, add KeyHook.lib into your workspace by "Project - Add to Project - Files", and include KeyHook.h where needed.
2.Call InstallKeyHook to install the hook.
3.Call AddKeyEntry to register key entries which consist of information on what kinds of keyboard events should be captured and whom should be notified.
4.Call GetKeyEventResult to retrieve information of the captured key events after your application window receives the notification messages, with values of the wParam and lParam unaltered.
5.Call UninstallKeyHook to release resources as soon as you've finished using the hook.
But Nothing happen.
I just want to get key when Key is press on application(
application may be notepad,word or internet explorer).please help me

Hey!
I know your woes I had been looking for a keyhook library for quite some time when I found this one and after a month of playing with it I like it ALOT! Its way easier to use than others or writing my own. I am working on writing a consume function for it so that it captures key events and filters them.
I used it in a plugin for Mach3 CNC software but you can see how it works if you dig through my code at THIS POST[^]
Good luck!

Thanks for reply but it's not working.Can you give me some code example.Please help me it's very diffult for me..Please help

This is the relevant info from my project in the file: PluginTestDlg.cpp
<br />
#include "KeyHook.h"<br />
<br />
#define WM_MY_MESSAGE (WM_APP + 100)<br />
<br />
ON_MESSAGE(WM_MY_MESSAGE, OnMyMessage)
<br />
LRESULT lRes = InstallKeyHook();<br />
ASSERT(lRes == KH_OK);
<br />
KEYENTRY ke;<br />
ke.nMessage = WM_MY_MESSAGE;
ke.hCallWnd = m_hWnd;
ke.hHookWnd = 0;
ke.iCombKeys = 0;
ke.iIndicators = 0;
ke.iKeyEvent = KH_KEY_DOWN | KH_KEY_UP;
ke.iMinVKCode = 0;
ke.iMaxVKCode = 255;<br />
<br />
lRes = AddKeyEntry(&ke);<br />
ASSERT(lRes == KH_OK);
<br />
<br />
LRESULT CPluginTestDlg::OnMyMessage(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)<br />
{<br />
KEYRESULT kr; <br />
<br />
UINT nMask = KH_MASK_EVENTTYPE | KH_MASK_PRINTABLECHAR;<br />
<br />
LRESULT lRes = GetKeyEventResult(wParam, lParam, &kr, nMask);<br />
ASSERT(lRes == KH_OK);
<br />
if (kr.chPrintableChar != 0)<br />
{<br />
CString sEvent;<br />
if (kr.iKeyEvent == KH_KEY_DOWN)<br />
sEvent = _T("Key Down");<br />
else if (kr.iKeyEvent == KH_KEY_UP)<br />
sEvent = _T("Key Up");<br />
else if (kr.iKeyEvent == KH_KEY_REPEAT)<br />
sEvent = _T("Key Repeat");<br />
else<br />
ASSERT(FALSE);
<br />
CString sMsg;<br />
sMsg.Format(_T("Event: %s\nCharacter:%c"), sEvent, kr.chPrintableChar);<br />
MessageBox(sMsg);
}<br />
<br />
return (LRESULT)0;<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
UninstallKeyHook();<br />
-The ke structure is how you setup the hook and all options are documented in the KeyHook.h header
-In my kr structure I use the nMask to decode the message unto useful info then check if its a printable character and issue a msgbox for each type of key state.
-ASSERT(lRes == KH_OK);is a sanity check, error codes are listed in KeyHook.h
-#define WM_MY_MESSAGE (WM_APP + 100) I have no idea where I got this from... But it works...
Sorry to reply so late I have been away for work.

Did you search for a CodeProject's article? I found: "An SMPPLIB with COM Support".

I'm currently working on a rewrite of my most recent article Monitoring and Controlling a Recursing Function in a Worker Thread and would love to know your opinions on the fowing block of code I use in the worker thread...
do {
Sleep(1);
}while (pMyView->m_strCurFile != pMyView->m_strConfirm);
This has the effect of slowing things up enough so that the main thread can display a gratifyingly fast moving display of files flash past in the text box on the dialog. I was going to say that, without it, the dialag doesn;t display any file information until the thread has stopped running but I've just tried it and, in fact, with out it I get an Access Violation error!
It doesn't seem like a very nice bit of code to me. Could it be replaced with WaitForSingleObject or something, somehow?
Interestingly, if I try and speed the thread up by putting in an extra mod test so that it only runs every tenth loop...
if (n % 10 ==0){
do {
Sleep(1);
}while (pMyView->m_strCurFile != pMyView->m_strConfirm);
}
...this also causes problems...

In general Sleep is bad form, although as with any rule of thumb there are exceptions. Unfortunately, from what I've seen your code isn't one of them.

But what's you're problem? From what I gather, what you should be worried about is what's causing the access violation. Never stop a crash by poking around blindly till it stops: lose the Sleep and find the cause of the real problem (the access violation). The first thing I'd do is kill the Sleep , run the code under a debugger and get a stack trace of the access violation. I suggest posing it.Steve

Thanks for this Stephen, you have hit the nail on the head, I think, regarding the access violation. I have had a reply indicating that my use of CString objects is causing this. I will investigate this.

I took a brief look at your article. I have some humble comments/observations.
1.) Yes you should get rid of the call to Sleep. I have never found any use for this API call and in my opinion it is probably the most abused function on planet Earth. I recommend the following:
a) Add: HANDLE hEvent; to your CFormView.
b) Call hEvent = CreateEvent(NULL,FALSE,FALSE,"Your-GUID"); in your constructor.
c) Call SetEvent(hEvent); in your OnCURFILEEVENT message handler.
d) Replace the Sleep(1) with: WaitForSingleObject(hEvent,1000); and then reset the event with ResetEvent(hEvent); immediately afterwards.
2.) Regarding your access violation... I instantly recognized the problem. You are incorrectly accessing a CString object that lives inside your CFormView from the worker thread. CString is NOT thread-safe. You need to replace the pMyView->m_strCurFile assignment with a message function such as SendMessageTimeout[^] and this will fix the Access Violation in your article.
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune

I am very grateful to you, David, for looking at my code. You only looked at it briefly but were able to provide me with these very specific points of help. It's humbling for me because it will take longer for me to try them out than it took for you to look through my code, understand what I was trying to do and make these suggestions. I will go through them carefully, though. You clearly know what you are writing about.

Hi Dave,
I've got the project working with the following alterations...
Here is the sending code in MakeListing...
CString* pString = new CString(FindFileData.cFileName);
SendMessageTimeout(pMyView->GetSafeHwnd(), CURFILEEVENT, (WPARAM)pString, 0, 0, 1000, 0);
delete pString;
Here is the receiving function...
LRESULT CRecThread2008_64Dlg::OnCURFILEEVENT(UINT wParam, LONG lParam)
{
CString* pString = (CString*)wParam;
CString tempStr = pString->GetBuffer();
m_iNoFiles++;
CString tString=LPCTSTR("");
tString.Format(_T("%d"),m_iNoFiles);
m_strNoFiles = tString;
m_strFileList= tempStr + _T("\r\n")+ m_strFileList;
m_strFileList = m_strFileList.Left(500);
UpdateData(FALSE);
return 0;
}
And it works without the sleep block - so I have got rid of that!
I think I getting near to a point where I can start to rewrite the article...
Thank you for your help with this,
Ben.

David, the code and article is rewritten, now. Thanks so much for your help. I used SendMessageTimout and it worked nicely!
Thanks,
Ben.

Hi all,
i m using AT commands to send SMS,
I need to find out how to hide your number, so that the receiver will either see a message with no sender or even better a sender with characters as their number, e.g From: "Service".
i want if any recepient receive my SMS ,SMS display a Name that is i m set instead of my phone number.
please help me for this.
tahnks.

I knew helping you with SMS was going to be an issue - I can think of no good/nice/honset reason for doing what you suggest - I urge anyone else here not to respond if they know a way of doing it.

Fortunately, for the rest of us, this feature is not allowed, as message identification is controlled by the network provider. Short answer, you cannot do it. txtspeak is the realm of 9 year old children, not developers. Christian Graus
