Hi,
I would like to create a COM application using VC++6.0 wherein I require the complete screen to be captured using the PrintScreen (VK_SNAPSHOT) functionality and the output to be printed out (send to Printer). I could use the keyboard event with VK_SNAPSHOT but I failed to send it to the Printer.
Would you be able to advice how to progress here?
With Regards,
Abraham Chethuvelil

What is failing (i.e. please post the relevant code)?

Very bad sample...

i am using this function to get device lists.
void CDeviceList::GetDeviceList(std::vector<string> &info)
{
int i = 0;
HRESULT hr;
CComPtr<ICreateDevEnum> pCreateDevEnum;
hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_SystemDeviceEnum, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_ICreateDevEnum, (void**)&pCreateDevEnum);
if (hr != NOERROR)
{
return;
}
CComPtr<IEnumMoniker> pEm;
hr = pCreateDevEnum->CreateClassEnumerator( CLSID_VideoInputDeviceCategory, &pEm, 0);
if (hr != NOERROR)
{
return;
}
pEm->Reset();
ULONG cFetched;
IMoniker *pM;
char* name = new char[255];
char* loc = NULL;
while(hr = pEm->Next(1, &pM, &cFetched), hr==S_OK)
{
IPropertyBag *pBag;
hr = pM->BindToStorage(0,0,IID_IPropertyBag,(void**)&pBag);
if(SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
VARIANT var;
var.vt = VT_BSTR;
hr = pBag->Read(L"FriendlyName", &var, NULL);
wcstombs(name, var.bstrVal, 255);
if (hr == NOERROR)
{
loc = strstr(name,"(VFW)");
if (loc==NULL)
{
info.push_back(name);
}
}
SAFE_RELEASE(pBag);
}
SAFE_RELEASE(pM);
}
delete[] name;
}
I have written a class cDeviceHandler. I want when i start thread it should compare two device lists and display message. code of cDeviceHandler class is given below:
#include "StdAfx.h"
#include "DeviceHandler.h"
CDeviceHandler::CDeviceHandler(void)
{
dList.GetDeviceList(devList);
}
void CDeviceHandler::start(void)
{
startThread = TRUE;
CreateThread(NULL, 0, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)ThreadProc, this, 0, NULL);
}
void CDeviceHandler::stop(void)
{
startThread = FALSE;
}
int CDeviceHandler::ThreadProc(LPVOID lpParam)
{
CDeviceHandler* ptr = (CDeviceHandler*) lpParam;
while(ptr->startThread)
{
vector<string> nList;
ptr->dList.GetDeviceList(nList);
char * cDeviceName = new char[260];
int status = ptr->CompareLists(ptr->devList,nList,cDeviceName);
switch(status)
{
case 0: {
TRACE("No Device Arrived nor Removed\n");
}
break;
case 1: {
TRACE("Device Removed \"%s\"\n",cDeviceName);
}
break;
case 2: {
TRACE("Device Arrived \"%s\"\n",cDeviceName);
}
break;
}
delete[] cDeviceName;
ptr->devList = nList;
Sleep(500);
}
return 0;
}
whenever i try to get new device list using
ptr->dList.GetDeviceList(nList);
previous device list is discarded and all member variables of current object are reset. Why is this happening?? can anyone explain it to me?
Regards,
K. Masood

Is this happening via your code? If so, just set a breakpoint on the "discard and reset" code. Learn to use the debugger. It'll quickly help to narrow the problem to just a handful of lines.

Thanks.
When this code line executes current object is reset.
ptr->dList.GetDeviceList(nList);
and when i go into this function, on this code line object is reset.
hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_SystemDeviceEnum, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_ICreateDevEnum, (void**)&pCreateDevEnum);
hr returns S_OK, whole functions executes successfully and i get new list in nList (string vector).
I could not understand why is this happening.
How can i solve this problem?
I want whenever a new device is arrived or removed, a member function of this class (CDeviceHandler) is called.
or is there any other way to do this, please guide me.
Regards
K. Masood

Do you need to respond to the WM_DEVICECHANGE message?

Hello all,
I have a function like this
void fn_VersionInfo(const char** EngineVersionInfo)
{
}
I have to initialize a string into "EnginneVersionInfo" variable of function parameter. Can any body help me.
Thanks to all

Well, look at the parameters.
You pass it a pointer to a pointer to a bunch of chars.
In C/C++, the most basic string is a pointer to a bunch of chars, usually NULL terminated.
So, we can say that fn_VersionInfo takes a pointer to a string. So you pass a pointer to a string.
That could either be a string you create yourself, or one that function creates for you. I suspect the latter, but you'll have to read the documentation to discover that.
Where is this function from? Does it have any documentation? Can you read the source?
If you let it create a string, who is responsible for deleting it afterwards?
Answering that last question will answer your original question.
*Not* looking for the answer to my last question means you will at best get bad habits, at worst will make your software crash when two parts of it try and tidy up the same variable twice.

Hello Iain,
Thanks for replying.
Actually this have a documentation. I have to write the body of this function. This function exists in a DLL. I don't have to think outside code of the DLL. Sombody just call my function.
Pls reply

Hello CPallini
Thanks it works fine

It is a good idea to pass in a second size_t parameter which specifies the size of the memory allocated for the string. Otherwise it could lead to a buffer overrun.
And if you want to use real C++ style do this -
void fn_VersionInfo(const char*& EngineVersionInfo, size_t size)
{
strcpy_s(EngineVersionInfo, size, "version string");
}

Hello!
Could anyone, please, forward me the right direction to do HEX->BIN->DEC conversions with 40 bit variable.
The point:
I have a CEdit type input on a dialog and a CComboBox to select data type. The user can choose to input data in HEX, DEC, BIN, formats the data length can be up to 40 bits (I use a char[5] type variable to store data in BIN). I have already made functions for getting user input from HEX and BIN (below):
<br />
void FillBuffer(void)<br />
{<br />
CString str;<br />
<br />
char Bit = 0;<br />
char Byte = 0;<br />
char Mask = 0;<br />
char Buf = '0';<br />
<br />
<br />
m_CardNumber.GetWindowTextA(str);<br />
str.MakeUpper();<br />
<br />
for(int i = 0;i<sizeof(Card.Data);i++)<br />
{<br />
Card.Data[i] = 0x00;
}<br />
<br />
int MaxLength;<br />
<br />
switch(PrevFormat)<br />
{<br />
case HEX:
{<br />
MaxLength = 10;<br />
<br />
if(str.GetLength() < 10)<br />
MaxLength = str.GetLength();<br />
<br />
for(int i = 0;<MaxLength;i++)<br />
{<br />
switch(str.GetAt(i))<br />
{<br />
case '0':<br />
Mask = 0;<br />
break;<br />
case '1':<br />
Mask = 1;<br />
break;<br />
case '2':<br />
Mask = 2;<br />
break;<br />
case '3':<br />
Mask = 3;<br />
break;<br />
case '4':<br />
Mask = 4;<br />
break;<br />
case '5':<br />
Mask = 5;<br />
break;<br />
case '6':<br />
Mask = 6;<br />
break;<br />
case '7':<br />
Mask = 7;<br />
break;<br />
case '8':<br />
Mask = 8;<br />
break;<br />
case '9':<br />
Mask = 9;<br />
break;<br />
case 'A':<br />
Mask = 10;<br />
break;<br />
case 'B':<br />
Mask = 11;<br />
break;<br />
case 'C':<br />
Mask = 12;<br />
break;<br />
case 'D':<br />
Mask = 13;<br />
break;<br />
case 'E':<br />
Mask = 14;<br />
break;<br />
case 'F':<br />
Mask = 15;<br />
break;<br />
};<br />
if(Bit%2 == 0 || Bit == 0)<br />
{<br />
Mask = Mask << 4;<br />
}<br />
<br />
Card.Data[Byte] = Card.Data[Byte]|Mask;<br />
<br />
Bit++;<br />
<br />
if(Bit%2 == 0)<br />
{<br />
Byte++;<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
}<br />
break;
}<br />
case BIN:
{<br />
MaxLength = 40;<br />
<br />
if(str.GetLength() < 40)<br />
MaxLength = str.GetLength();<br />
<br />
for(int i = 0;i<MaxLength;i++)<br />
{<br />
Buf = str.GetAt(i);<br />
Bit++;<br />
<br />
if(Buf == '1')<br />
{<br />
Mask = 1;<br />
Mask = Mask << ((Bit % 8 > 0) ? ( 8 - (Bit % 8) ) : 0);<br />
Card.Data[Byte] = Card.Data[Byte] | Mask;<br />
}<br />
<br />
if(Bit%8 == 0)<br />
{<br />
Byte++;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
break;
}<br />
case DEC:<br />
{<br />
<br />
<br />
break;
}<br />
default:<br />
break;<br />
<br />
};<br />
<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
All this works fine, but, how to handle Dec to bin in my case?
Thanks

I would use strtol (well, its longer cousin...) for it all:
BOOL fillArray(LPCSTR s, int base, unsigned char data[5])
{
const unsigned __int64 GUARD = 1099511627776LL;
char * pcStop;
unsigned __int64 n = _strtoui64(s, &pcStop, base);
if ( n < GUARD )
{
unsigned char * p = (unsigned char *)(&n) + 4;
for (int i=0; i<5; i++)
{
data[i] = *p;
p--;
}
return TRUE;
}
else
return FALSE;
}

Hi All,
I want to use PosstThreadMessage() function and i want to check if the thread handle is available before that, because sometimes the thread will be created and some times the the thread might not be created ...
So if the thread is not created i want the condition to fail ...
ex:
if( handle available)
{
ThreadPtr->PosstThreadMessage(MyMessage);
}
So can you tell me how to verify this .
Thanks..
Hari
