clistctrl::getitmeText

I have listctrl with rows(vary) and 3 column
let say first column is a,second is b, third is c;
I want the data of a, b, and c of the row.
so i tried the following ways

<br />
for(int i=0;i<numberOfRow;i++) //<br />
{<br />
CString dataA = myListCtrl.GetItemText(i,0);<br />
CString dataB = myListCtrl.GetItemText(i,1);<br />
CString dataC = myListCtrl.GetItemText(i,2);<br />
<br />
// anothe method<br />
LV_ITEM lvitem;<br />
ZeroMemory(&lvitem, sizeof(lvitem));<br />
lvitem.mask = LVIF_TEXT | LVIF_STATE;<br />
lvitem.iItem = nIndex[i]; <br />
lvitem.iSubItem = 1; <br />
myListCtrl.GetItem(&lvitem); <br />
<br />
dataA = lvitem.pszText;<br />
}<br />

both ways gave me let say dataA value as junk. How can I get back my item text???

Thanks

Can't say why the first way is failing, but the second doesn't work because you're not providing a buffer for the control to store the text in. You need to set pszText and cchTextMax to the address and size of the buffer before calling GetItem().

how to give the catch block a filename?

ns1-Oct-02 9:06

1-Oct-02 9:06

If theres a problem with file strFile0 and an exception is thrown, I want the error message to have the name of the faulty file. This name is gotten in the try block. I dont think I can pass it in the catch argument:

catch(CFileException e, strFile0)
		
		{

			CString temp;

			temp.Format("Error opening file  : %d", e.m_cause);
			AfxMessageBox(temp);

			return -1;
		}
}

So how do I communicate it to my messagebox in the catch block?

Appreciate your help,
ns

Thats convenient! You did however mean to remove the strFile0 argument I was trying to pass in, right ? I am off to look up CFileException and see what all it exposes... Smile | :)

Many thanks,

CFileException has m_strFileName member which contains file name.

Is it possible to perform development in Visual Studio by having the libraries of a third-party component on a remote machine?

Any suggestions?!

Aehm, add the path to the library folder on the remote machine to your LIB path?

Hello,

If an ostream is open and a write operation completed, then a flush called, is the data 100% committed to disk or is there a delay?

Cheers,

While stream flushes *its own* buffer, the OS can cache the data. Is there any requirement on standard file streams which makes them call API like ::FlushFileBuffers on close? I did quick grep and was unable to find fflush/_commit/FlushFileBuffer calls in C runtime sources for fstream.

flushing an iostream causes a call to sync for the managed streambuf object. Dinkumware's doc for basic_filebuf (here[^]) state that basic_filebuf::sync calls in turn to fflush. Of course, the ultimate test is to check it directly on the source code, but alas I don't have my Visual Studio handy right now.

how to lock PC?

drmzunlimited1-Oct-02 8:24

1-Oct-02 8:24

can anybody plz help me with locking the PC ...thru Bios or any other way so that nobody can access it...It should not detect any Hard Disk. (dont tell me bios password since it can be cracked with jumper settings). I need to lock a PC anyhow bcoz when i go away to home from my PC somebody else come and start working on that.

If I change Windows 2000 password then they will format the Hard Disk and start working again.

IF I keep a BIOS password then they can crack it by changing jumper settings.

what i need that computer should be hanged and nobody can easily guess that what might have happened to the computer...why it was not working?

How exactly would you restore the computer so that 'you could start working again'? Unsure | :~

there is NO solution if someone can open your PC case.
The best solution is bios password and padlock on the case.

Our Dell laptops (I have an Inspiron 8100) have hard-disk-based passwords.
If you don't know the password, the harddisk won't start to spin. This is not resettable by jumpers.
Of course they can always replace the hard disk.

adding some information to Word&Excel files(97&2000 versions)

Hi
I have to add some extra information to this files (it's going to be digital signature of the document), but I don't know how to start (I heard that this files are connected with OLE but I don't know anything about OLE). After adding the signature to the file of course I must be able to read only the document part of the file. I have also encountered another problem, Excel files is changing in one place after being opened (at the end of the file, in the record beginning with "Root Entry"). Is this will be ok to omit this few changing bytes in order to signature doc and verify the signature (I don't know what this few bytes stands for)? I don't expect to have one solution for Excel and Word (but it would be nice of course), but is there a chance that one solution(one code) will work in Office 97 and 2000 (it would be great)? Thanks in advance for any help.

greetings

You exxagerate a bit. This is possible (I have seen application which is doing exactly what I want to do in MsOffice). Office docs are stored in a kind of a filesystem (this is connected somehow with OLE) and all I have to do is to read and write properly in this filesystem (probably using OLE in some way).
