Hi,
I'm starting to use Visual Studio 2005 and I'm having some major issues. For instance I create a new C++ -> MFC Application and when I declare some CStrings in a member function they don't initialize correctly.
For instance:
CString a,b,c,d,e,f; <- Right after declaration they will have values of "" except at least one will have a value <bad ptr>
I can also try:
CString a = L"";
CString b = L"";
etc
But I'll end up with the same problem.
Also, I notice when I debug I can't see any ints that I've declared - they are in scope, but I can't see the values.
*** When I make my variables static - everything works fine....
Is this some sort of managed C++ thing? I'm just writing simple code that worked in Visual Studio 6, 2003, etc...
Help!!

Can you post an example function showing the variables and how they are defined?
If you declare them but don't use them then the compiler may optimize them out so you can't view
them in the debugger (because they aren't there).

I tried creating a new project. Defining CStrings and setting their values to "" and using ints. They all show up normally in the debugger.. I'm pulling my hair out here. I am testing on two different computers. If I create a new project from scratch, I can't reproduce the bug. In my current project, I clean, rebuild, etc, and it won't go away. I'm beginning to think something is corrupted in my project!
In my code, I have a class that declares these locally in a function. The variable names exist no where else. The weird part is as these get defined I watch the <bad ptr> change to "". *Except* for sday, it will always be bad ptr, I can rename the variable, change the order that it is defined - it will *always* be a <bad ptr> how is that possible??
Furthermore - when the variables initialize they all turn to "" except sday. Here's the best part - when the variables get set to "test" I watch CString a,b,c,d etc randomly get those values not the variables I'm setting to test....
The code *seems* to be executing correctly, but debug is just a complete mess! This is on two different systems, one being a clean build.
Once again defining these as static makes everything appear correct in the debugger.
If my project is corrupted somehow - is there a way to super clean it? Or am I stick redoing it?
Thanks!
I've stripped my code down to this:
bool CPCInfo::goodVscanDef(CString local, CString server)
{
CString a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h; //this is just for some additional debug tests
CString lmonth;
CString lday;
CString lyear;
CString lrev;
CString smonth;
CString sday;
CString syear;
CString srev;
lmonth = L"test";
lday = L"test";
lyear = L"test";
lrev = L"test";
smonth = L"test";
sday = L"test";
syear = L"test";
srev = L"test";
return false;
}

Sounds like it!
May not help, but you could try closing VS2005, rename the solutionname.NCB file to
solutionname.NCB.bak open the solution (solutionname.NCB gets rebuilt), clean\rebuild and see
what happens.

Thanks! I forgot about the .nbc - I used to have to delete it to fix intellisense issues with other versions 
That fixed it. I was beginning to think somehow I was doing something wrong...

Hi all,
I am new to windows programming, I am converting my OpenGL program written in Linux platform into Windows platform. I have used glutIdleFunc() for idle callback func, now I would like to use the same callback func as idle func in Windows platform. How can I use a func as idle func in Windows without using GLUT.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks
Scody

I guess it ultimately depends on how you write your own OpenGL program. You can still use GLUT and freeGLUT under Windows platforms, that keeps your code mostly identicle between platforms. The other is to insert your code into it's own call system.
Since freeglut is "free" you can also examine the code to see how the idle function was used. http://freeglut.sourceforge.net/docs/api.php[^]

If I setup a static variable like this:
[CODE]
// .h file
class DisplayLine
{
static SolidBrush s_solidBrush;
...
};
[/CODE]
and initialize it like this:
[CODE]
// .cpp file
SolidBrush DisplayLine::s_solidBrush(Color(255, 0, 255, 0));
[/CODE]
and then in the draw() routine do this:
[CODE]
void DisplayLine::Draw(Graphics *pGraphics)
{
// Draw the text
pGraphics->DrawString(buf, -1, &font_big, lineRect, &sFormat, &s_solidBrush);
}
[/CODE]
that the text will not draw due to the brush. Weird.
What am I doing wrong? Why is the brush not getting initialized?
I even tried adding this:
s_solidBrush.SetColor(Color(255, 0, 255, 0));
but that didn't help.

How do you know this??

Because if I creat a brush in the draw() method it works fine.
This works:
void DisplayLine::Draw(Graphics *pGraphics)
{
Font font_big(L"FIXEDSYS", 18, FontStyleBold, UnitPixel);
Font font_small(L"FIXEDSYS", 12, FontStyleBold, UnitPixel);
StringFormat sFormat = new StringFormat();
sFormat.SetAlignment(textAlign);
sFormat.SetLineAlignment(lineAlign);
SolidBrush a_solidBrush(Color(255, 0, 255, 0));
// Set text to display
wchar_t buf[20+1] = { 0 };
MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, MB_PRECOMPOSED, lineText.c_str(), (int)lineText.length(), buf, 20);
// Draw the text
pGraphics->DrawString(buf, -1, &font_big, lineRect, &sFormat, &a_solidBrush);
}
}
Even if I make the s_solidbrush public, it still does not work.

is this...
[CODE]
// .h file
class CduLine
{
static SolidBrush s_solidBrush;
...
};
actually this? (what is the CduLine class?)
[CODE]
// .h file
class DisplayLine
{
static SolidBrush s_solidBrush;
...
};
In CPP file, outside of any function...
SolidBrush DisplayLine::s_solidBrush(Color(255, 0, 255, 0));

|

Yes... My mistake... I was changing names to make things clear.
the definition is at the top of the file outside of any functions.
|
|
|
|
|
Geez at least SetColor should have worked 
Beats me but I'll keep looking at it...I would expect it to work!

by my understanding of what i've found in msdn the folowing code should redirect the output of "ping www.google.com" to a file...and well...it doesn't. Where did i go wrong?
STARTUPINFO StartupInfo;
PROCESS_INFORMATION ProcessInfo;
ULONG rc;
HANDLE hFakeStdOut = CreateFile(
"C:\\myfile.txt",
GENERIC_WRITE,
FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
NULL,
CREATE_ALWAYS,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
NULL
);
if(hFakeStdOut==INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
printf("CreateFile failed with %d\n",GetLastError());
return;
}
memset(&StartupInfo, 0, sizeof(StartupInfo));
StartupInfo.cb = sizeof(STARTUPINFO);
StartupInfo.dwFlags = STARTF_USESTDHANDLES;
StartupInfo.hStdInput = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE);
StartupInfo.hStdOutput = hFakeStdOut;//GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
StartupInfo.hStdError = hFakeStdOut;//GetStdHandle(STD_ERROR_HANDLE);
char sCurDir[1023];
GetCurrentDirectory(1023,sCurDir);
if (!CreateProcess( NULL,
"ping www.google.com",
NULL,
NULL,
TRUE,
NULL,
NULL,
NULL,
&StartupInfo,
&ProcessInfo))
{
printf("Failed with %d\n",GetLastError());
}
WaitForSingleObject(ProcessInfo.hProcess, INFINITE);
if(!GetExitCodeProcess(ProcessInfo.hProcess, &rc))
rc = 0;
CloseHandle(ProcessInfo.hThread);
CloseHandle(ProcessInfo.hProcess);
CloseHandle(hFakeStdOut);
I've been reading about this for about an hour now and i can't get it. Please help

I think that you should specify the full path to ping.exe (always a good habit, ask any *nix person, it prevents a command hijack), and put that path into the first parameter. Put the parameters to ping.exe (www.google.com) as the second parameter and see if that works.
I have had situations in the past where specifying everything as the command line fails, but breaking them up works. Dunno why, but try it.
Also, did you try using pipes as suggested in the MSDN article located at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dllproc/base/creating_a_child_process_with_redirected_input_and_output.asp[^]? Maybe it works with pipes but not with normal files? I would get the pipes version working first.
Peace!

Thanks but the full path is not the problem. Braking the args and actual module name did not work either.
This sucks  msdn says that a handle can be anything that supports Read() and Write() so a hadle to a file created by CreateFile shoul work. I realy don't get it

The handle needs to be inheritable:
try
SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES SecurityAttributes;
SecurityAttributes.nLength = sizeof(SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES);
SecurityAttributes.lpSecurityDescriptor = NULL;
SecurityAttributes.bInheritHandle = TRUE;
HANDLE hFakeStdOut = CreateFile(
"C:\\myfile.txt",
GENERIC_WRITE,
FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
&SecurityAttributes,
CREATE_ALWAYS,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
NULL
);

Thanks...but it still does not work

if u want to redirect the out put u can use any of the following ways...
SHELLEXECUTEINFO stInfo = {0};<br />
stInfo.fMask = SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;<br />
stInfo.cbSize = sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO);<br />
stInfo.lpVerb = _T("open");<br />
stInfo.lpFile = _T("cmd");<br />
stInfo.lpParameters = _T("/c ping www.google.com > c:\\result.txt");<br />
stInfo.nShow = SW_SHOW;<br />
ShellExecuteEx( &stInfo );<br />
WaitForSingleObject(stInfo.hProcess, INFINITE);
or
STARTUPINFO StartupInfo;<br />
PROCESS_INFORMATION ProcessInfo;<br />
ULONG rc;<br />
memset(&StartupInfo, 0, sizeof(StartupInfo));<br />
StartupInfo.cb = sizeof(STARTUPINFO);<br />
if (!CreateProcess( _T("c:\\windows\\system32\\cmd.exe"),<br />
_T("/c ping www.google.com > c:\\result.txt"),<br />
NULL,<br />
NULL,<br />
TRUE,<br />
NULL, <br />
NULL, <br />
NULL,<br />
&StartupInfo,<br />
&ProcessInfo ))<br />
{<br />
printf("Failed with %d\n",GetLastError()); <br />
}<br />
WaitForSingleObject(ProcessInfo.hProcess, INFINITE);<br />
CloseHandle(ProcessInfo.hThread);<br />
CloseHandle(ProcessInfo.hProcess);

Exactly the way the tutorial describes it.
Keep at, hopefully it will begin to sink in. Also you might try this site[^]. But don't expect to actually "know" C++ in 21 days.

O.K well since I seem to be in the right forums I'm gonna have alot of questions scince I've never really used C++ or any other scripting language before. I hope I'm not a bother. Anywho I was wondering how functions can be applied, like can they have random things in them or do they follow a specific set? Generally I'd like to know a tad more on functions.
I'm a true failure.
