I said "part of" because I believe you don't need the Detach/Attach methods as well (just not sure on that ... its been a little while since I dealt with Microsoft's COM wrappers).
If you decide to become a software engineer, you are signing up to have a 1/2" piece of silicon tell you exactly how stupid you really are for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week

I think one of the problems is this assignment:
varReturn.vt = VT_R4;
I suppose this is unneeded, since varReturn.vt already contains a value, which is VT_ARRAY | VT_R4.
What happens when you comment this line?
Next, the constructor at
CComVariant varReturn(saVars.Detach());
creates a copy of passed SAFEARRAY object, therefore the source detached object is not deleted and causes memory leaks. I think you should first try this:
CComVariant varReturn((LPSAFEARRAY)saVars);
If it works, you can reconsider your getSomething function and return a SAFEARRAY pointer directly, detached from saVars. In the other function, attach this pointer to a CComSafeArray variable. It will be deleted automatically.
I hope it helps.

Hello,
I need a timer in a user class which calls a member function every 2 seconds. I have tried some timers which have a callback function. But it not possible to call a member function from a callback function.
How can I solve this problem?
Thx for help.

Which ones ? Could you post some more info about that ?
Basically if you can supply data (through a parameter) that is passed to your callback function, then you can simply pass the this parameter and convert it back to a class pointer in your callback function. Then you are able to call any public function of your class.

Thank you for your help.
I've found a timer tutorial an I'm trying to develop a Multimedia Timer.
Here the source in my user class.
void CALLBACK TimerFunction(UINT wTimerID, UINT msg, DWORD dwUser, DWORD dw1, DWORD dw2)
{
// This is used only to call MMTimerHandler
// Typically, this function is static member of CTimersDlg
CMyClass* obj = (CMyClass*) dwUser;
obj->MMTimerHandler(wTimerID);
}
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void CMyClass::StartTimer()
{
m_nTimeout = 2000;
TIMECAPS tc;
timeGetDevCaps(&tc, sizeof(TIMECAPS));
DWORD resolution = min(max(tc.wPeriodMin, 0), tc.wPeriodMax);
timeBeginPeriod(resolution);
// create the timer
m_idEvent = timeSetEvent(
m_nTimeout,
resolution,
::TimerFunction,
(DWORD)this,
TIME_PERIODIC);
}
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void CMyClass::StopTimer()
{
// destroy the timer
timeKillEvent(m_idEvent);
// reset the timer
timeEndPeriod (m_nTimeout);
}
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void CMyClass::MMTimerHandler(UINT nIDEvent) // called every elTime milliseconds
{
// do what you want to do, but quickly
static int a = 0;
CString str;
str.Format("Timer-Event %d", a++);
m_pTargetDlg->SetState(str);
}
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's done in the way you expained, I think. But when the last line of code is done in the MMTimerHandler function (it calls the following Methode in a Dialog class)
void CTestDlg::SetState(CString strState)
{
m_strStatus = strState;
UpdateData(FALSE);
}
it crashes with a Debug Assertion Failed!- Error.
File wincore.cpp
Line 879
Any idea why?

It is better to send a user defined message to your dialog class. And in the event handler of this message, update the data.

If I do it in that way
m_pTargetDlg->SetWindowText(str);
it works.
But this is only for testing.
I am trying now to call a member function, which tries a cyclic reconnect to a telnet server after the connection has been closed by the server side.
The connect method works, but if I start it in the timer callback it crashes.
The timer only runs ones. After the first callback I stop the timer and call the connect method, but it crashes.
Hard work, I don't know why...

Hello
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTUP,x,y,0,GetMessageExtraInfo());
it works!
But with MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP and MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE nothing happens!
I think that the fanction has a problem . I write my program in Borland C++Builder version 6. can you help me?
thanks

Did you do MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN before MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP?
|
|
|
|
|
No , but I think that isn't important. because when I use MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTUP I dont use MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTDOWN before it but it works .
thanks

That would depend on whatever application that is the receipient of the mouse clicks, and I would imagine that a programmer won't think of a situation in which the mouse button can go up without going down first. Just because it "works" in certain cases doesn't mean it's correct. If you had tried simulating keyboard input with keys going up without coming down first you get fantastic results.
Have your taskbar be on the bottom of your primary monitor and visible and run this snippet. Does the start menu pop up? Works for me...
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE | MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE, 0, 65535, 0, GetMessageExtraInfo());
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN, 0, 0 ,0,GetMessageExtraInfo());
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0 ,0,GetMessageExtraInfo());

Hi,
I am coding an application in vc++6, mfc. I have some sort of bar graph in which when I click on one of the bars a small dialog pops up giving information about that bar. I want the dialog to close automatically when I click anywhere outside it and not when an OK button is pressed. I tried with OnKillFocus and EndDialog but it is not working.
void CChartInfoDisplay::OnKillFocus(CWnd* pNewWnd)
{
EndDialog(0);
CDialog::OnKillFocus(pNewWnd);
}
Please can you tell me how to make a dialog box close when the user click anywhere outside it?
Thanks,
Tara

If you have a modeless dialog (activated with Create), I think you should try WM_ACTIVATE notification, sent to your dialog when another window is activated.
Make a handler for this message and watch for WA_INACTIVE value of WPARAM.
Otherwise, if your dialog is modal (activated with DoModal), then I think you should process WM_NCACTIVATE notification with FALSE value of WPARAM.
I hope it helps.

It worked! This is what I did.
BOOL CChartInfoDisplay::OnNcActivate(BOOL bActive )
{
if (bActive == FALSE)
CDialog::OnOK();
return TRUE;
}
I tried with
afx_msg void OnActivate( UINT nState, CWnd* pWndOther, BOOL bMinimized ); but I got some errors I could not understand.
Thank a lot.

Try with
afx_msg void OnActivate( UINT nState, CWnd* pWndOther, BOOL bMinimized );
nState must be WM_INACTIVE, then call OnOK();

Is there any registry path where all the installed components in the system are listed?
I found that components to be uninstalled are listed in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall. Just like that i want to know whether any place is there where all the installed components are listed.

If they did not use MSI, then there is almost no chance of locating everything.
If they were installed using MSI, then you can use the MSI API to get lists of installed 'packages'. A product does not necessarily have to be installed using MSI to end up in the 'add/remove programs' list.
