If you are using VS7 or later, there's a way to automatically obtain the symbol files for Microsoft DLLs. Once you have it configured (it only requires setting an environment variable) the IDE will automatically download the symbol files from a Microsoft server and store them in your machine.
In this link you can get the details about how to Use the Microsoft Symbol Server to obtain debug symbol files[^]

is the FilePointer set and got through SetFilePointer and GetFilePointer same for reading and writing?
If yes, Does it mean I cannot read and write from/to different locations of the file at the same time?
Thanks.

You cna't have a file open more than once, only one thing at a time can open it.

Huh?
Sure you can, you just have to NOT deny shared read and write access.
I think you can not 'simultaneously' read and write using the same FILE handle at the same time. You have to update the file position yourself prior to each read and write. And I would make darn sure they were atomic, in case your reading and writing are in separate threads. At which point it would just be easier to open the file twice, get a separate handler for reading and a separate handle for writing.

You can share access to a file, but you can not read and write to the file at the same time.

Whenever you create/open a file via CreateFile() you get an opaque handle, but behind the scenes a structure is allocated to maintain state information for that handle.
This state contains a single variable that represents the current position in the file.
So, with proper file sharing parameters to CreateFile(), you could open the same file with 2 CreateFile() calls, getting 2 handles. Each handle maintains its own file position state.
Therefore, you should be able to use 1 handle to write and the other to read.

What do you mean "read and write at the same time"? Single processor, etc . . .
All you have to do is store your last read pointer and write pointer and jump between them.
So you do:
read some information from the file<br />
GetFilePointer and store the value in your read pointer variable<br />
SetFilePointer to write pointer variable value<br />
do some writes<br />
GetFilePointer and save the value in your write pointer variable<br />
SetFilePointer to read pointer variable value<br />
etc.
Does this do what you want to do?

Is there a way to override OnIdle using a Dialog based app?
something like:
BOOL MyDialog::OnIdle()
{
// My code
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
The easiest way I found is to handle the WM_KICKIDLE message.
#include afxpriv.h
...
ON_MESSAGE(WM_KICKIDLE, OnIdle)
...
LRESULT CMyDialog::OnIdle(WPARAM, LPARAM)
{
return 0;
}

Hi all,
I'm using CTaskbarNotifier (found it here) to display a popup. It works just fine, but now I want it to change it's shape when the mouse is over.
I added a m_biHoverSkinBackground member variable, and it's corresponding with and height properties.
I modified the OnMouseHover function, like this:
LRESULT CTaskbarNotifier::OnMouseLeave(WPARAM w, LPARAM l)
{
if (m_bMouseIsOver==TRUE)
{
m_bMouseIsOver=FALSE;
RedrawWindow();
}
return 0;
}
The OnMouseLeave function was also modified. and in the OnEraseBkgnd function I added this:
if (m_bMouseIsOver)
{
SetWindowRgn(m_hHoverSkinRegion, true);
GetObject(m_biHoverSkinBackground.GetSafeHandle(), sizeof(bm), &bm);
pOldBitmap=memDC.SelectObject(&m_biHoverSkinBackground);
}
else
{
SetWindowRgn(m_hSkinRegion, true);
GetObject(m_biSkinBackground.GetSafeHandle(), sizeof(bm), &bm);
pOldBitmap=memDC.SelectObject(&m_biSkinBackground);
}
I also changed the code so that where it asks for the skin width/height, it gets the current skin width/height (depends if the mouse is over or not).
The problem is that it works when the mouse is over: the region and bitmap changes, but when the mouse goes out, the bitmap changes but not the region, it stays with the "mouse-over" region...
can anyone give me a hint why it's not working as it should?
thanks a lot!

I'm trying to call message box function:
<br />
MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("Configuration file is corupted. Loading standart settings."), TEXT("Error"), MB_OK);<br />
but linker returns error:
Автонапоминалка 3.0 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "int __stdcall MessageBoxA(struct HWND__ *,char const *,char const *,unsigned int)" (?MessageBoxA@@$$J216YGHPAUHWND__@@PBD1I@Z)
Am I doing somthing wrong?

Maybe because the configuration file is corrupted!! you should load standard settings 
I am Kidding only, but know something?
The Visual Studio sometimes fools out for no reason, sometimes i get errors that make no sense, maybe some professionals has faced a situation that a very basic line of code doesnt work, and it just doesnt work, for no obvious reason.
I sometimes getout from such a problem (when u are very sure of what u are doing but the compiler just rejects your code) by creating a new clean project and move my code to it. it works 99% of the time, why should I worry about the other 2%???
Albert Einsitein said once: The most foolish person in the world is one who makes a test, and then redo it with the same arguments and expecting different results.
well, it works sometimes with computers, who knows why???
This is not a solution, its a suggestion

Hi
I have two MFC simple dialogue based exe. Say First.exe and Second.exe
I have put the code in my First.exe from which I start Second.exe using CreateProcess.....Like :
FirstDlg::OnInitDialogue()
{
..........
..........
CreateProcess("C:\Second.exe",.......);
..........
..........
return;
}
Now my problem is : After starting both the application the Second.exe receives the focus. I want to set the focus on my First.exe And for that I have used ::SetFocus(hWnd,0) function but am not able to do that.....still the second.exe receives the focus...any idea how to do this ???????
Advance in Thankx

Try this instead:
VERIFY (NULL != ::SetActiveWindow (AfxGetMainWnd()->GetSafeHwnd()));

Hi
I have tried it but it doesn't works...
Any idea or any other functions that can give focus to my window

Try waiting a couple of seconds (use Sleep()) after starting the second app before calling SetActiveWindow(). It's possible that the first app does in fact become the active window, but eventually relinquishes that state to the second app.

I am having trouble overiding the default tooltip text that displays the tick count in a slider control.
My code is below. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
void CGraphView::OnHScroll(UINT nSBCode, UINT nPos, CScrollBar* pScrollBar)
{
static CString strMinutes;
CToolTipCtrl *pTool;
if ((CSliderCtrl*)pScrollBar == &m_Slide &&
(nSBCode == SB_THUMBPOSITION || nSBCode == SB_THUMBTRACK)
)
{
pTool = m_Slide.GetToolTips();
strMinutes = "Test";
pTool->UpdateTipText(strMinutes, this);
pTool->Update();
}
CFormView::OnHScroll(nSBCode, nPos, pScrollBar);
}

Hello,
I am using MSVC6 and have some trouble using the #pragma pack(...).
I have a header file where a structure is implemented:
<br />
#pragma once<br />
#pragma pack(push,8)<br />
<br />
struct MyStruct {<br />
};<br />
<br />
#pragma pack(pop)<br />
This structure I am using in two different cpp files in two different projects. If I am applying the sizeof() Operator to this structure in both projects I get two different results. Why??? I think I am using the #pragma pack directive properly.
By the way, the settings in "C++" -> "Code Generation" -> "Struct memeber alignment" is set to 8 bytes.
So has anyone an idea how this can be fixed???
Thank you very much for help
Chris

Try commenting the #pragma pack statements out and rebuild everything and see what happens.
You really don't need to do this if you are setting it to 8 though because that is the default.
Actually, it is a bit of a misnomer too. The compiler will align data members to the size of their type when this is selected. This is really only important when transmitting data structures between computers. However, you want to use the default whenever possible especially when using P4 processors. They can slow down considerably if their data is not aligned correctly.

It may not be related to packing but to something else. For example, the following struct will show different sizes if one of the projects is compiled for Unicode and the other is compiled for MBCS:
struct TheStruct
{
TCHAR buffer[20];
};
Also, many structures in the windows headers are defined with more or less members, depending on settings related to your target platform.
I'd suggest looking for things like that. You may, for example load this structure in each of the projects and inspect the contents in the Memory window while debugging.

I'm having a problem whne I try and register a control that is missing a component. It returns an exception error. It there an exception catch for the GetProcAddress?
Here's my code:
<br />
HINSTANCE dllhandle = NULL;<br />
HRESULT (WINAPI *lpfDllRegisterServer)();<br />
LPSTR pszFileExt = NULL;<br />
HRESULT hr = S_OK;<br />
<br />
pszFileExt = strrchr(pszFile, '.');<br />
if(pszFileExt)<br />
{<br />
pszFileExt++;<br />
if(stricmp(pszFileExt, "DLL") == 0 || stricmp(pszFileExt, "OCX") == 0)<br />
{<br />
dllhandle = LoadLibrary(pszFile);<br />
if(dllhandle)<br />
{<br />
lpfDllRegisterServer = (HRESULT(WINAPI*)())GetProcAddress(dllhandle, "DllRegisterServer");<br />
if(lpfDllRegisterServer)<br />
{<br />
hr = lpfDllRegisterServer();<br />
if(hr != S_OK)<br />
{<br />
CString strMsg("The following component failed to register.\n");<br />
strMsg += pszFile;<br />
AfxMessageBox(strMsg, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);<br />
FreeLibrary(dllhandle);<br />
return FALSE;<br />
}<br />
lpfDllRegisterServer = NULL;<br />
<br />
}<br />
FreeLibrary(dllhandle);<br />
dllhandle = NULL;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
else if(stricmp(pszFileExt, "EXE") == 0)<br />
{<br />
char szCmdLine[MAX_PATH+1];<br />
sprintf(szCmdLine, "%s /RegServer", pszFile);<br />
<br />
STARTUPINFO startUpInfo = { sizeof(STARTUPINFO),NULL,"",NULL,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW,SW_HIDE,0,NULL,0,0,0}; <br />
PROCESS_INFORMATION ProcInfo;<br />
<br />
CreateProcess(NULL, szCmdLine, NULL, NULL, FALSE, NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, NULL, <br />
NULL,&startUpInfo, &ProcInfo);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
Thanks

Hi all,
I use SendInput() API function to simulate keyboard events, and it works good for sending one key at a time, however when I try to send ALT+CTRL+DEL keys I dont get anything, here is my code:
<br />
INPUT inKB[3];<br />
<br />
::ZeroMemory(inKB,3*sizeof(INPUT));<br />
inKB[0].type=INPUT_KEYBOARD;<br />
inKB[1].type=INPUT_KEYBOARD;<br />
inKB[2].type=INPUT_KEYBOARD;<br />
<br />
inKB[0].ki.wVk=VK_MENU;<br />
inKB[1].ki.wVk=VK_CONTROL;<br />
inKB[2].ki.wVk=VK_DELETE;<br />
<br />
SendInput(3,inKB,sizeof(INPUT));<br />
<br />
inKB[0].ki.dwFlags=KEYEVENTF_KEYUP;<br />
inKB[1].ki.dwFlags=KEYEVENTF_KEYUP;<br />
inKB[2].ki.dwFlags=KEYEVENTF_KEYUP;<br />
<br />
SendInput(3,inKB,sizeof(INPUT));
I also tried this method:
<br />
KeyDown(VK_CONTROL);<br />
KeyDown(VK_MENU);<br />
KeyDown(VK_DELETE);<br />
<br />
KeyUp(VK_CONTROL);<br />
KeyUp(VK_MENU);<br />
KeyUp(VK_DELETE);
Note that the above functions use SendInput too. I dont know where is the problem??
Also, I need to SendInput the Windows Key to pop-up the start menu, and I also want to SendInput the SystemMenu Key...................
I have headache from this, any feedback is welcome

Have you tried playing with the Scan Code parameter of the ki member of the INPUT struct ?
~RaGE();
|
|
|
|
|
Hi-
Thanx for ur reply, but what is the wScan variable for? I searched the net and found that in some codes its a VK code, while it is ignored in most codes and set to 0. Also it is not well commented in the MSDN.
wScan
Specifies a hardware scan code for the key. -MSDN
Another point is that if it is a VK code, then i can pass only two keycodes at a time, (one in wScan and the other in wVk member variable) but I need to pass 3 VK codes at once (CTRL+ALT+DEL)????????
I will be grateful if you could offer some code or a link at least.
Regards,
Mohammad
