Re: How to removing manifest entry programatically?

you can also use external manifests, so in the project settings the manifest will be changed.

is _M_IX86 defined?

What this #pragma will do?

the #pragma is a precompiler dirrecte which in this case will inject a manifest. To avoid it comment it out.

since #pragma is defined in thirdparty files, we cannot modify them.
May be we need to do it different way.
Is it possible to remove that #pragma by programatically? Or by some settings in our application?

Maybe modiying the code or copying the interesting parts in a separate file.

#define _M_IX86 in the project settings or in the stdafx.h like "#define _M_IX86 1"

Can't you use the Microsoft manifest tool[^] to modify/remove the manifest? Another option is to call the SetWindowTheme Function[^] on the affected controls. Maybe call it on all child windows?

SetWindowTheme(m_YourControl.m_hWnd,L"",L"");

Although this seems more like a hack.

Hi,

I am very new to VC++ and I got to work in VC++. My requirement is to call dll from an exe and I need to pass some value to the dll. I need to use that value in the dll.

I am using LoadLibrary method to invoke the dll. But how to pass a value and how to use that value in the dll. Please help me.

for example:
LoadLibrary("test.dll", "display this text");

On load of dll (::OnInitDialog()): i want to display the message "dispay this text".

How could I do this. Please help me out in this.

Thanks in Advance,

AR Reddy

if you have the Header and lib of the dll you can dynamicly link in the dll. Read this:

There's no such concept. DLLs contain exported functions. You first have to load one of those functions (via GetProcAddress()) and then pass arguments to it.

There are two ways:

1. Using registry: The path can be read from
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MySQL AB\MySQL Server 5.1\Location

2. Using mysql database
use mysql;
select @@basedir;

Learn MFC, then learn C#, then write the two parts of your program and test them.

If you have already written parts of these progrmas and have come across a problem then tell us what is wrong and we may be able to help.

Usually sockets are used for communications between remote machines, on the other hand, a C# application may interact (the way you depicted) with a DLL via interoperability, see for instance [^].

As you are getting bits of advice...

I DLL does not run in isolation - you need an exe to use that DLL.

So, why not write a EXE server?

As has been said, sockets are great for communicating between machine - on different OS's, on different continents too. If you know these processes will be on the same machine, there are simpler inter-process methods!
