by writing a few commands into your C++ editor and compiling it into a working exe. The forum is here to help with problems you may be having. Perhaps if you showed us some of your attempts we may be able to point out where you have gone wrong.

SMTP commands

I'm having a little trouble trying to communicate with an SMTP server. I'm using winsock2 without the MFC. Now as far as my code is concerned, I see nothing wrong, but the when trying to send an Email I'm getting a 503 error. Here is the output:

EHLO mail.icmail.net<br />
220 icmail.net SurgeSMTP (Version 3.6f5-5) http://surgemail.com<br />
AUTH LOGIN<br />
334 VXNlcm5hbWU6<br />
d****A==<br />
334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6<br />
M****I=<br />
235 login succeeded<br />
MAIL FROM:<******@**.***><br />
503 FROM not permitted before HELO/EHLO<br />
221 Closing connection. Good bye.

As you can see I am sending the EHLO, but it's saying I am not. Also I am validating the return codes from the server before proceeding.

I must try sleeping once in a while, the answer was staring me in the face all this time. I was sending the HELO before checking for a successful connection, therefore the server wasn't seeing it.

Hello,

I'm trying to develop a toolbar. I am in front of a difficulty that I don't know how to avoid.

I've managed to develop the toolbar with a CEdit wich has a border.

I programmaticaly create a CEdit for the ToolBar with the style WS_BORDER.
The border is black.

I would like to modify the CEdit with a BLUE BORDER.

Does somebody know how to get the result ?
Thanks,

titi

You could try subclassing the control and handling the paint messages yourself.

Hi All,

I'm a newbie to multithreading and I'm very interested in exploiting MFC classes from Microsoft.
Can you suggest me some patterns and site with best practices oriented to DESIGN multithreading apps and avoid general problems?

I think that probably reading some code or open source project done in MFC with multithreading can help me a lot. Most of the samples I found it were simple and oriented to CCriticalSection. Can you suggest me some MFC project to take a look in deep mt objects?

Many Thanks!
Manu

I have written a WIN32 console application using appwizard.
Now I have changed the entry point of app to
wWinMainCRTStartup and in the PreProcessor defnition
i put UNICODE.

and the program is

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <windows.h>

const int LOCALE_GERM = 2;
const int LOCALE_ENG = 1;

int wmain(int argc, wchar_t **argv, wchar_t **envp)

{
UINT locale = 1;

switch(locale)
{
case LOCALE_GERM:
break;
case LOCALE_ENG:
break;
default:
break;
}

printf(ID_HELLO_WORLD);

return 0;
}

I get the following compiler error

LIBCD.lib(wwincrt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _wWinMain@16
Debug/Lingen.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

can you please help me - Thanks

You need to link LIBCD.lib with your application in your linker settings...

Project->Settings->Link->object/Library Modules. (Follow these steps, if you are using VC++ 6.0)

Pipes Question ?

Programm3r30-Aug-06 3:53

30-Aug-06 3:53

Hi all,

OK, I'm trying to create a pipe server and pipe client, but the thing is ... it's working if I test it on a local computer, but when I try and test it over a network ... nothing, I think the problem is my pipename.

This is what I've done so far.. (some less important code has been excluded)

<br />
//SERVER<br />
LPTSTR lpszPipename = TEXT("\\\\.\\pipe\\hello");<br />
hPipe = CreateNamedPipe( <br />
          lpszPipename,             // pipe name <br />
          PIPE_ACCESS_DUPLEX,       // read/write access <br />
          PIPE_TYPE_MESSAGE |       // message type pipe <br />
          PIPE_READMODE_MESSAGE |   // message-read mode <br />
          PIPE_WAIT,                // blocking mode <br />
          PIPE_UNLIMITED_INSTANCES, // max. instances  <br />
          BUFSIZE,                  // output buffer size <br />
          BUFSIZE,                  // input buffer size <br />
          NMPWAIT_USE_DEFAULT_WAIT, // client time-out <br />
          NULL);<br />
<br />
//CLIENT<br />
LPTSTR lpszPipename = TEXT("\\\\.\\pipe\\hallo");<br />

The thing is what is the correct pipename to give the server and the client to communicate over a network???

Can anyone help???

Thanx alot

Regards

You're using "." for the machine name which always refers to the local machine. You need to replace "." in the pipe name in the client code with the name of the machine on which the pipe server is running. For the server code, you can leave it as "." since the server will be running on the local machine.

Hi, what about using an IP address?

Will it work?

Cause I keep getting a error -> Could not open pipe.

I changed the client side to:

<br />
//CLIENT<br />
LPTSTR lpszPipename = TEXT("\\\\lw09228109\\pipe\\hallo");<br />

And the server to:

<br />
//SERVER<br />
LPTSTR lpszPipename = TEXT("\\\\.\\pipe\\hallo");<br />

Thanx

Don't know. Give it a try and see what happens Smile | :)

The hostname might not be visible from the client which is why its not working that way, which would be a network config issue.

Programm3r30-Aug-06 4:29

30-Aug-06 4:29

Well, if I use the host's IP or computer name on the remote (client) machine to connect to something like a shared folder (on the host computer) there is no problem.

mmmm... I have no idea ... Confused | :confused:

Thanx for the response.
