How to get IP Address of the system using MFC

Hi there.

I can find the IP address of current system using below code but that's C++ code...

char* CLogger::GetIPAdd()
{
	WORD wVersionRequested;
	WSADATA wsaData;
	char Name[255];
	PHOSTENT HostInfo;
	wVersionRequested = MAKEWORD( 1, 1 );
	char *IPAdd;
	if ( WSAStartup( wVersionRequested, &wsaData ) == 0 )
	{
		if( gethostname ( Name, sizeof(Name)) == 0)
		{
			//printf("Host name: %s\n", name);
			if((HostInfo = gethostbyname(Name)) != NULL)
			{
				int nCount = 0;
				while(HostInfo->h_addr_list[nCount])
				{
					IPAdd = inet_ntoa(*(struct in_addr *)HostInfo->h_addr_list[nCount]);
 
					++nCount;
				}
			}
		}
	}
  return IPAdd;
}

I want to get an IP Address using MFC. Can any one please help me out to get the same using MFC?

Thanks
PanB

MFC is just a wrapper over C++ classes functions, but what is the problem with the code above.
Even if you do find a class in MFC to get the IP address it must be using a similar sort of mechanism to get the IP Address of the local machine

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

Why MFC? I am getting lots of Windows.h already included related error messages.
But if we can get IP Address in MFC then that will server my requirement.

Thanks

figure out why these errors are popping and resolve them. May be you are missing a library to link to or you didn't include a header file.
BTW what are the errors?

MFC doesn't have functionality covering IP address resolution - if it works, your C++ code is as good as anything.

Don't get too hung up about things being in MFC or not in MFC - MFC is, for the most part, a thin veneer over Win32 functions and, overall, has a very old fashioned design , a lot of which was constrained by the deficiencies of C++ compilers in use when MFC was developed.

Nothing in your code is C++.

return IPAdd;

You are potentially returning an uninitialized pointer.

Then use the same code.

MFC offers no such class.

Problem with BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP ( subsublcass..,baseClass)

Hello,

I get compiler error error C2327: 'CMyGridEdit::OnChar' .symbol' : is not a type name, static, or enumerator..
What's wrong at this declaration ?
I have following declaration in VC++ 6.0

<<<mygrid.cpp>>
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMyGrid::CMyGridEdit, CEdit)
ON_WM_CHAR()
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

void CMyGrid::CMyGridEdit::OnChar(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags)
{
}
<<mygrid.h>>
{
class CMyGrid : public CMSHFlexGrid
..
class CMyGridEdit : public CEdit
{

afx_msg void OnChar(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags);
DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
};
};

Thanks for helps. jr

That pattern works fine in VS2008, so the only thing I can presume is that one of the VC6 compiler's many many deficiencies is biting you.

I'd suggest you pre-process the C++ file (with CL /P) and see if anything looks untoward in the BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP code after pre-processing (don't look for BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP in the .i file you get out of the pre-processor - it won't be there - look for CMyGrid::CMyGridEdit::GetMessageMap instead.

Problem with != operator of CString

The following is the code fragment which I used in my application,

CStringb csFilePath = _T("C:\\MyFolder\\");
if(csFilePath != "\\")
{
DWORD dwError = GetLastError();
}

And i am getting an error code of 122(The data area passed to a system call is too small) in VS2008.
But in VC6.0, there is no such problem, the error code i am getting is 0.The application is with UNICODE supported.

Please help me to find out the cause of this problem. Frown | :(

Thanks & Regards

this should probably be

Thanks for the quick response .But at the compilation time this code didnt shown any errors or warnings . Do have any idea ,why it had happened like this ?

Because the CStringT == operator is overloaded to handle PCYSTR.

Possibly because that's the last value that was set (with SetLastError()). In other words:

SomeWindowsFunctionThatFailsWithCode122();
CString csFilePath = _T("C:\\MyFolder\\");
if (csFilePath != _T("\\"))
{
    DWORD dwError = GetLastError();
}

If nothing calls SetLastError(0), then its internal value will stay 122.

Question on boost weak pointers

Hi,

Have a quick question on Boost weak pointers. Hope this is the place to ask. I found the article

Smart Pointers to boost your
code[^]

and on the paragraph "cyclic references" in the code there is the line

<br />
child->myDad = dad;<br />

where does the dad come from? Can't seem to see it defined anywhere in the code.

Thanks for any information.

I think it's just a typo. Should be:

child->myDad = parent;

EDIT: You can download the sources just to be certain Smile | :)

Actually, if it was a typo then why does the diagram underneath refer to "dad" and the dad.reset() ? Surely that can't be a typo as well?

Hmmm, if it was a typo to put "dad" instead of "parent", then is the diagram showing dad pointing to the CDad struct a mistake as well?
