How do I get rid of a DLL out of my project?

I am trying to remove a dll from my project.

There are no more linkages to it within the code. However, if I remove the DLL it bitches when I try to run it. I know I don't need the DLL anymore because I even removed all the exports from the problematic dll and the app still runs.

When I first start to debug it give me the line Loaded symbols for ".....mydll.dll"

I would assume it is just the debugger trying to be cute and load up debug information for my project. Is there a way to clean out its need for this dll?

This is all done with Visual Studio 6 and written in C++.

After four hours of banging I figured it out.

In the project settings under the Debug tab switch the category to Additional DLLs.

Once that category is selected the list of dlls that get loaded at the beginning of a debug session is listed.

I don't know if I put those lines in there or if the system did, but upon them everything seemed fine. In what file do these settings reside? I looked through the .dsp via text editor and saw nothing of this.

Thanks

thats why, i prefer the pragma for including dll!(Statically linkage)

Map file format

Is the format of the map files produced by Visual Studio documented anywhere? I'm working on a program to find dead code by analyzing map files, and am discovering that there is not much information describing some of the entries. for instance, entries in the address section of the file that start with ? are decorated C++ function names. Entries that start with ??, however, seem to be something different.

Differencies in dataplot between GDI and GDI+ while drawing the same coordinates

JS5-Dec-07 7:04

5-Dec-07 7:04

In a bigger project I found a strange behavior between GDI and GDI+. Drawing some lines with the same coordinates the GDI+ -lines where drawn a little bit lower than the GDI-lines. You can see this after a big zoom (5000 x), see OnInitialUpdate().
I created a MFC-C++ project with a single ScrollView to check this.

If you want to check my project or you have an answer, please send me a mail to

void CgdiPlusTestView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)
{
CgdiPlusTestDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();

return;

// draw some lines and a rectangle with alfa-components

SolidBrush cBrush(Color(128, 192, 192, 192));
Pen cPen(Color(255,255, 0, 0),1);
int ii,i;
Point cP[5];
HDC hdc=pDC->m_hDC;

// GDI+

ii=graphics.SetPageUnit(UnitDisplay);
cP[0].X=295250; cP[0].Y=-506212;

// GDI+ lines and rectangle are together
ii=graphics.FillPolygon(&cBrush,cP,4,FillModeAlternate);
for(i=1;i<5;i++) ii=graphics.DrawLine(&cPen,cP[i-1].X,cP[i-1].Y,cP[i].X,cP[i].Y);

// GDI lines are moved ???
for(i=1;i<5;i++) {
pDC->MoveTo( (int)cP[i-1].X, (int)cP[i-1].Y);

I'm trying to compile some code that uses _vsnprintf, and I'm getting errors from the compiler about :

1>regerror.c
1>c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\include\stdio.h(358) : error C3163: '_vsnprintf': 
attributes inconsistent with previous declaration
1>        c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\include\stdio.h(350) : 
see declaration of '_vsnprintf'

I have _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE, _SCL_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE, and _CRT_NON_CONFORMING_SWPRINTFS defined.

The code uses it like so:

va_init_list(args, (char* )fmt);
n = vsnprintf((char* )buf, bufsize, (char* )fmt, args);
va_end(args);

where "vsnprintf" is actually a macro defined as :

#define vsnprintf   _vsnprintf

To the best of my knowledge this has worked fine with *all* previous compilers MS C++ compilers, so I'm stumped at what to do here.

Bah!! Turns out there is now a vsnprintf function, so it's a non-issue - I just needed to comment the #define out for VC9 compilers.

backup network files - problem

sgeocla5-Dec-07 3:58

5-Dec-07 3:58

I am developing an application that is trying to backup (BackupRead, BackupWrite) a file from the network. The process has SE_RESTORE_NAME and SE_BACKUP_NAME privileges set. Creating the backup file is successful but I'm having problems restoring it. When I try to use GetFileAttributes on the folder in whitch I'm trying to restore the file, it fails and GetLastError returns ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR (1359) for a network share with full access to everyone and returns ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND (3) if the share is mounted as a mapped drive. I also cannot create files from my program, but I can create them in windows explorer.
Are there more privileges that I need to set? Am I doing something wrong?
Please help

How do I load another programs Icon?

Hi All,

What I'm trying to do is implement in c++ a routine that loads another programs icon without loading that program. What api does windows explorer use to do it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Have you considered ExtractIcon()?

Grr - I knew there had to be a simple function.

not LoadIcon, not ExtractResource...

I started thinking about LoadLibrary, FindResource etc...

Then I sae you'd already replied with the perfect answer.

Sometimes "we" can be too clever for our own good.

CInternetSession Problem

Hi,

I am writing an appliction which downloads MJPEG stream from IP camera. My application supports many IP cameras at a time. So i need to download several URL at a time from single instance. But the problem is when I add my fifth camera my application gets hanged. So is there any limit on how many URLs we can open using CInternetSession's OpenURL method? From my application I am able to open upto 4 URLs for one instance. For fifth URL my application give "timeout" exception.

Code:

CStdioFile* m_pFile[5];
CInternetSession m_inetSession[5];

for(int iIndex = 0; iIndex < 5; ++iIndex)
{
m_pFile[iIndex] = m_inetSession[iIndex].OpenURL (cstrUrl, 1, INTERNET_FLAG_TRANSFER_BINARY | INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD);
.
.
}

Thanks in Advance.

Since CInternetSession class is a wrapper around InternetOpenUrl(), you could temporarily change your code to use InternetOpenUrl() instead. When/if it fails, you can call GetLastError() to find out why.

Struct or class?

Hello everyone,

Multiplies is a struct, why MSDN said it is a class?

Because in C++ a struct and a class are quite similar. The difference is that structs give, by default, public public access to their members, while classes do the opposite (private access, by default, to their members).

learn your school lessons. in C++, a struct is a class (the only difference is that is defaults is members as public instead of private).

C++ recommands that use class only for its spirit.
struct in C++ is for compatibility with C.
However you can think class as a mentally concept, as a more common concpet, so either can be called a class as you like.

How to add a ComboBox to Browseinfo?

I want to custom a Browseinfo window.
For original Browseinfo only gets the address information, I also want to know which form user choose(xsl,xml,txt,ect) now.
So, I want to add a ComboBox on the Browseinfo window.

I tried, but always encountered error when I calculate the ComboBox's location.

Does anyone have a relative Demo ? (a simple one is better Poke tongue | ;-P

)
And welcome any idea.
Thanks a lot!
