Re: The best way to get the keystrokes in ASCII form

The GetAsyncKeyState function determines whether a key is up or down at the time the function is called, and whether the key was pressed after a previous call to GetAsyncKeyState.

CopyTo method in Class String

There is method called CopyTo(src_start,dst,dst_start, length) in class String (VS ++ .Net 2003) Big Grin | :-D

. While dst is a Char or __wchar_t array. What will be the best way to Copy part of First String to another String? For example, String *Str=S"dirName/filename", I would like just take the file name so I start copy from 8 from Str to another Char dst[]. But dst is not String instance.

Any better ideal? Thanks

Hi there,

How can i make a Brush with default window color ?!

I just tried below code, but it doesn't work Frown | :(

:

HBRUSH hBrush = ::GetSysColorBrush( COLOR_WINDOW );

When i use below code to make the brush (with XP default window color), it just works fine (as u see, the i passed the color HANDY (!!), i'm looking for code that make that automatically. ) Confused | :confused:

:

HBRUSH hBrush = CreateSolidBrush( RGB( 236, 233, 210 ) );

I want to use the brush for painting a Static Control (Custom control) background ... (in CtlColor function, ON_WM_CTLCOLOR_REFLECT() msg)

Please help Smile | :)

Hadi

The best way to grab a list of all the ip addresses attached to your local system is using the IPHelper[^] library. You'll need to include the IPHlpApi.h and winsock2.h header files, then add iphlpapi.lib and ws2_32.lib to your list of import libraries.

MIB_IPADDRTABLE  *pIPAddrTable = NULL;
DWORD            dwSize = 0;
DWORD            dwRetVal = 0;
	
if (GetIpAddrTable(pIPAddrTable, &dwSize, 0) != ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER )
{
	printf( "Error getting buffer size." );
}
else
{
	pIPAddrTable = ( MIB_IPADDRTABLE * ) malloc ( dwSize );
	
	if ( (dwRetVal = GetIpAddrTable( pIPAddrTable, & dwSize, 0 ) ) != NO_ERROR )
	{
		printf("GetIpAddrTable failed.\n");
	}
	
	for( int i = 0; i < pIPAddrTable->dwNumEntries; i ++ )
	{
		in_addr add;
		in_addr subnet;
	
		ZeroMemory( & add, sizeof( in_addr ) );
		ZeroMemory( & subnet, sizeof( in_addr ) );
		add.S_un.S_addr = pIPAddrTable->table[ i ].dwAddr;
		subnet.S_un.S_addr = pIPAddrTable->table[i].dwMask;
	
		printf("IP Address:         %s\n", inet_ntoa( add ) );
		printf("IP Mask:            %s\n\n", inet_ntoa( subnet ) );
	}
	
	free( pIPAddrTable );
}

Hi,

This works for me,

        CString                 sLocalIp;<br />
	HOSTENT			*hs			= NULL;<br />
	UCHAR			ch[4]		= {0};<br />
	CHAR			szHostName[50]={0};<br />
<br />
	// get name of machine<br />
	if ( SOCKET_ERROR == ::gethostname((LPSTR)(LPCTSTR)szHostName, 50) )<br />
	{<br />
		return GetLastError();<br />
	}<br />
<br />
<br />
	hs = gethostbyname((LPSTR)(LPCTSTR)szHostName); <br />
<br />
	if ( hs == NULL )<br />
	{<br />
		return GetLastError();<br />
	}<br />
<br />
<br />
	// h_addr contains ip address<br />
	memcpy(ch, hs->h_addr,4); <br />
<br />
	// form string		<br />
	sLocalIp.Format("%d.%d.%d.%d", ch[0], ch[1], ch[2], ch[3]);

Hope this is also correct method.(((??)))

The problem with that method is that it will only pullback one IP, the question was how do you retrieve the IP address for my local computer, it's quite possible to have several NIC's all with several IP addresses. The server sitting under my desk has 3 different IP's for instance.

But yeah, your way does work aswell Smile | :)

Open a command window.
go to Start->Run, type in "cmd" and click OK
In Command window type in "ipconfig" click ENTER key
You can see the IP address here.

_outp(0x64, 0xAD);
and
__asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, al
do the same... but what do they do??

I change static float asd; to extern float asd; but it still doesn't work, I did something wrong?
