I'm porting a C++ DLL from W2K Server to 2003 Server, and the data_seg(".myglobal") segment (with "/SECTION:.myglobal,rws" linker option) is no longer "sharing" data. The DLL is called from both a Windows Service program and from a VB application. On W2K, you can start the Service, start the VB app, and they both share the data in the .myglobal segment. On 2003, that no longer works - the data is no longer shared: the VB app gets it's own copy.

The Windows Service program is written so that it can be run from the command line for testing purposes and that still works, i.e., starting the Service program from the command line then starting the vb app has no problem - they share the data just fine.

Any suggestions on how to share DLL shared data between a Service program and a User program on 2003 Server? I've tried using the default data_seg("global") with no luck, and I don't know what else to try.

Thanks!

If my project includes 85 dlls how to enable manifest on for some of them. If you have manifest it always using COMCTRL32 vesion 6 for all projects. I tried to unload version 6 and load version 5 but it didn't work Microsoft keeps always 6 in the memory if you have manifest. Is the any way to customize usage of manifest per project?

The wizard generated code for MFC apps adds code to stdafx.h to tell the linker to add the 6.0 manifest specific information.

You can make sure you don't have this code for the dlls where you want to load the pre-6.0 dll. I would think that you need to load the pre-6.0 before loading the 6.0 one.

virtuak serial driver

Hi,

I need to implement my own virtual driver which pretends to be a serial port. Other application would know better if it was a real port or not.
I know that there are programs that alreaddy do such a thing. Smile | :)

Just Google to find them Poke tongue | ;-P

but i need to write it myself.

Does anybody have a clue where to begin or have the correct search criteria to find it myself in google.

Anyhelp would be very appritiated.

To get you started, you will need to open the serial port with shared access (instead of exclusive) from both ends. The best way to do this is to write a serial port class (or take one of the many implementations on this site) and modify the OpenFile call to use the flag for shared access.

Your application (the code connecting to the serial port) and the simulator (the code pretending to be on the other end) will both use this class and you can handle your data accordingly.

An alternative (and easier) solution is to take a serial cable and connect it from 1 port on your machine to another one. Have the application and simulator each open 1 end of and behave normally (basically, creating a loopback using hardware).

Hi,
thanks for the respons. But I need to write the driver not the using application. Let me explain a little better.
We have already software that works with a modem. This software can't be changed its an "exe". The virtual serial driver emulates a serial port or even a modem but itself connects through ip for instance or whatever.

A have search a little further on google and I think i need to implement a DEVICE DRIVER.
Is this the path to go?

Emulates the serial port over IP? Do you mean you will just be passing the software the data it would receive over the serial port (if it was actually connected to one) via some other means?

You could go that route, though, that would be my last resort. Perhaps a bit more about the requirements you need to fill would narrow down the problem.

Are you absolutely sure you must do this? Developing a device driver is time consuming, especially so if you do not have prior experience. I'm currently fiddling with device drivers right now, and I can tell you that it's far more complex than writing a user space app.

If you absolutely must write a device driver, I suggest you get a copy of Programming the Microsoft Windows Driver Model (ISBN: 0-7356-1803-8). What you need to do is to write a serial port minidriver - a driver which implements a serial device driver skeleton.

Getting Control+Key combinations on PreTranslateMessage(..)

Hello! i'm needing to detect control + key combination on my PreTranslateMessage Method of a view i have. My code is as follow:

<br />
<br />
BOOL CTextView::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) <br />
{<br />
  long SOMETHING= 0; // Value???<br />
  <br />
  if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN &&<br />
      pMsg->wParam == VK_SPACE && <br />
      pMsg->lParam == SOMETHING)<br />
  {<br />
    // Here i do something.<br />
  }<br />
<br />
  return CScintillaView::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);<br />
}<br />
<br />
I'm needing to know if this is the correct approach and if i'm right, wich value should i check lParam for, because i'been looking at the msdn library and i don't get it!<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot, <br />
Emmanuel<br />

I Have solved this problem this way:

Big Grin | :-D

Thanks to a previous post!!

BOOL CTextView::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) 
{
	switch (pMsg->message)
	{
	case WM_KEYDOWN:
		{
			switch (pMsg->wParam)
			{
			case VK_SPACE:
				{
					// Se presiono junto con la tecla control?
					if (GetKeyState(VK_CONTROL) & (1 << sizeof(SHORT) * 8 - 1))
					{
						CString szAutoWords;

						for (long n= 0; n < g_vszKnownWords.GetSize(); n++)
							szAutoWords+= g_vszKnownWords[n] + _T("\n");

						szAutoWords.MakeLower();

						if (!szAutoWords.IsEmpty())
						GetCtrl().AutoCShow(0, _tochar(szAutoWords));

						return TRUE;
					}
				}
				break;

			case VK_F5:
			case VK_F9:
				OnExecute();
				return TRUE;
			}
		}
		break;
	}

	return CScintillaView::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}

could you tell me Which Interface or Api are you using to Display JPG,PNG format in PictureControl, as pictureControl only understand Bitmaps

But he ask for something else, he want to resize the image, so i believe he must be using some interface or class from which he is reading such format!
