Hi, All.
========
Does anyone know how can I read/write data from the bios?

a) How can I get the time from the bios?
b) How can I set the time ?
c) How can I get the number of local hardrives from the bios ?
d) and a lot of more HOWs 
thanks

I'm curious, Any particular reason to read the data from the bios rather than letting Windows handle the hard work?

Nope, this will work with IE but not with Netscape... but thanks!

I don't know exactly what you mean.
Do you use a web beowser control?
Do you want from your app to find out what us the url from another help?
It will help if you'll share the code you know for getting the url from IE?

Let's say I have a running instance of Netscape Communicator. I wanna be able to communicate with this instance to retrieve the current url. With IE, you can do this with the WindowsShell object (sorry I don't have any code written for this yet) but it will only communicate with running instances of IE, not Netscape. I know this is feasible since I saw some apps doing it (linkman). Maybe I should get the url from the Cache folder or something...
thanks for your help!

is there some API or method that can escape SQL strings
for example
exec AddRec 'some string's', 100, 'mike's'
must look like
exec AddRec 'some string''s', 100, 'mike''s'
|
|
|
|
|
If you need to execute the Store from Visual C++ you can do this...
CString strExec = _T("");
strExec.Format("exec AddRec \'some string\'\'s\', 100, \'mike\'\'s\'");
Cheers!!!

I need to do it automaticly
I need function like this
void escapeSQL(const char *sql, std::string& result);
|
|
|
|
|
And why don't use this:
strExec.Format("exec AddRec \"some string's\", 100, \"mike's\"");
Cheers!!!

Hi,
I looking for a sample to use the ftp transfert file in binary mode.
I would like to know when I create a connection :
1/ if the connection is ok;
2/ if the ftp is finished correctly;
3/ what is the % of the file transfered;
and I would like to know how can I do for transfert packet datas of 8Mbits.
Best Regards,
youssef

Hello,
I have created a program that makes a machine move, that program is automatically started by the system.
My program needs a service to be running and the splash screen of that service hides my splash screen during a long time and creates an undesired effect.
My boss has told me that I have to hide that splash screen, it's very important for me to be able to do it.
Is there any way of doing it via changing the start parameters of the service, or can I do it programatically?
As always thank you very much.

Have you tried calling ::SetWindowPos on your window with flag HWND_TOPMOST? If you're lucky enough that could do the job. Otherwise, the solution to your problem is going to be more convoluted.

I'm trying to understand how the string resources ids are converted into the actual strings as i ran into MAKEINTRESOURCE. A number of Win32 API calls accept string resource id wrapped in the above macro. Does anybody know what exactly does MAKEINTRESOURCE accomplish?
Here's how it is defined in WinUser.h
#define MAKEINTRESOURCEA(i) (LPSTR)((DWORD)((WORD)(i)))
Also, while looking at AfxLoadString, i came across the following code in DLLINIT.cpp
<br />
int AFXAPI AfxLoadString(UINT nID, LPTSTR lpszBuf, UINT nMaxBuf)<br />
{<br />
ASSERT(AfxIsValidAddress(lpszBuf, nMaxBuf*sizeof(TCHAR)));<br />
<br />
LPCTSTR lpszName = MAKEINTRESOURCE((nID>>4)+1);<br />
HINSTANCE hInst;<br />
int nLen;<br />
<br />
AFX_MODULE_STATE* pModuleState = AfxGetModuleState();<br />
if (!pModuleState->m_bSystem)<br />
{<br />
hInst = AfxGetResourceHandle();<br />
if (::FindResource(hInst, lpszName, RT_STRING) != NULL &&<br />
(nLen = ::LoadString(hInst, nID, lpszBuf, nMaxBuf)) != 0)<br />
{<br />
return nLen;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
What is going on here?? The string resource id is right-shifted 4 bits & added 1 & cast as LPSTR and finally assigned to a LPCTSTR variable - this is then used by ::FindResource & ::LoadString to fetch the actual string?? I'm beginning to lose it here!!
Anybody has ideas??

I think,
that when you do this
LPCTSTR Str= MAKEINTRESOURCE(RES_ID);
you do this
const char *Str= MAKEINTRESOURCE(RES_ID);
which means that your recieve a pointer to where the string is stored.
(*** I don't really sure, but I think that's what happens ***)

Resources can be identified with either a WORD (0-65535) or a string ID. All APIs that deal with resources take an LPCTSTR parameter as the resource ID. So when you need to refer to a resource with a numerical ID, you use MAKEINTRESOURCE to convert the WORD to a string, which then gets passed to the API.
As for what AfxLoadString() is doing, strings in the string table are grouped in 16-string chunks. (That's why the string table editor in VC has horizontal lines every 16 strings). When one string in a chunk is loaded, all strings in that chunk are loaded into memory at the same time. That code is doing an additional check to make sure nID is referring to a chunk that exists. Just an additional debugging aide, I guess.

I am developing a project in VC++ regarding mathematics using VC++/MFC. I want to plot "graphs" of various algebraic and trignometric expressions. If you know any article or if you have source code for "exprssion plotting" then please let me know through this forum or e-mail me. I shall be very thankful to you. There are few articles on codeproject that deals with statistical data plotting but not a single that plots the "expressions".

In my application, i consider 2 pointer on 2 array.
double *Qi1=new double[ni1];
double *Qi=new double[ni];
"i" and "i1"(=i-1) are 2 dates.
So, as we could see date i-1 is before date i. In my application i need to know all the value in the array which is pointed by Qi1, to calculate new values in the second array pointed by Qi(we note that ni>=ni1).
But, my pb is that as my application is iterative i do a for loop on the "i", so that at the end of all my calculation, just before going to the next step of the loop, i want that Qi "becomes" Qi1, like that i could continue the iteration, so i think that i have to do a reallocation of my tabs, and i don't know how we could do that. So could you give me a solution?
thanks in advance

use vector<double> instead of built-in arrays. Check your VC++ documentation on vector for further info.
