Are you checking that handle actually points to something? i.e. check the handle for being NULL. If you call any file function with a zero pointer it might very well crash if it dereferences a NULL pointer.

Cheers,

Please check if the "handle" is NULL.

fopen_s(&handle,cPathName,"wt");
if (handle != NULL)
{		
    fprintf(handle,"<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n")
}

Working is a happy thing!

Hi,

If use bitblt to change the Background of a bitmap

The later I use that bit map in some other fuction will the background remain or is the bsckground only
valid while the bitmap is selected in the DeviceContext

Thankx

BitBlt works on a device context.
A device context can only have one bitmap selected into it.
So what ever you draw to that DC will remain valid through out its life time.

So taking the device handle from the device context to draw else where will work as you expect.

Hi,

I have the following code which paints a Gray Baxkground on a Bitmap consisting of a yellow around

and a while background

    CBitmap *bm = new CBitmap;           // Bitmap Object

  bm->LoadBitmap((UINT) IDD_BITMAP);             // LOAD THE ARROW

      CDC *cdcimage = this->GetDC();

  cdcimage->SelectObject(bm);

       CDC cdcimage1, cdctrans;      // dcmask

      COLORREF oldback = cdcimage->SetBkColor(RGB(255,255,255));
  COLORREF oldtext = cdcimage->SetTextColor(RGB(0,0,0));

  cdcimage1.CreateCompatibleDC(cdcimage);
  cdctrans.CreateCompatibleDC(cdcimage);

  cdcimage1.SelectObject(bm);


 BITMAP bm_struct;

 bm->GetBitmap(&bm_struct);                              // get the demensions of ste arrow

 CBitmap bmask;                                     //  Create mask

      bmask.CreateBitmap(bm_struct.bmWidth,bm_struct.bmHeight,1,1,NULL);

      cdctrans.SelectObject(&bmask);

cdcimage1.SetBkColor(RGB(125,125,125));

cdctrans.BitBlt(0,0,bm_struct.bmWidth,bm_struct.bmHeight,&cdcimage1,0,0,SRCCOPY);

cdcimage->BitBlt(0,0,bm_struct.bmWidth,bm_struct.bmHeight,&cdcimage1,0,0,SRCINVERT);
cdcimage->BitBlt(0,0,bm_struct.bmWidth,bm_struct.bmHeight,&cdctrans,0,0,SRCAND);
cdcimage->BitBlt(0,0,bm_struct.bmWidth,bm_struct.bmHeight,&cdcimage1,0,0,SRCINVERT);

cdcimage->SetBkColor(oldback);
cdcimage->SetTextColor(oldtext);

later I pass the handle

stgm.hBitmap = (HBITMAP)*bm;

to an OLE Richedit interface

However the bitmap remain as it on the file with a white background

any ideas

thankx

C++ Socket Number - duration of socket number in server program

simon alec smith1-Jun-10 12:01

When a new SOCKET is generated by a client connection to the server
I understand the SOCKET in question holds a unique integer number.

What I would like to know is; if the client in question associated with this number logs off or de-connects, is this number then available for other connecting clients or is it ‘gone when its gone’.

I am using the code from Boby Thomas Pazheparampil, May 2006 implementation of the client server text messaging in the articles. Also please note that I have outputted the number associate when a client connects in this program and they roughly start in 1800 series and descended at various intervals(1780,1778 etc) doe anybody know why this is so, and the limits of the number of connections also?

I am developing a program where the appropriate id of auser is associated with the socket.

Thanks in advance for helping

Simon

Basically your question is, if the operating system reuses socket handles?

Yes, I would guess that with a long running server application there is no other way for the operating system. On Windows this definitely happens, see Winsock Programmer's FAQ[^]. In my networking applications I separate session/user handling from low-level networking, which means every user gets a unique ID assigned. There are many ways to create an ID, for example use the current UTC time paired with a random value. Alternatively, if you just need an unique internal reference, you could use this pointer of your C++ object.

Not sure if this answered your question?

Synchronise Contacts with Exchange Server Mailboxes

I need to synchronise contacts from our DB with user profiles in an exchange server. Can anyone suggest which API / SDK to use to achieve this from a C++ application? The idea is users can flag contacts in our application as being one they want synchonised with their mobile phone eg. each account manager will want contact details for their customer accounts.

I have a derived CModeless Class form CDialog class which is used for creating modeless dialogs. I have derived 2 new dialog classes from the CModeless. I have opened the two dialogs since they are modeless. After OnOK of the dialog i must create the dialog again, for both the dialogs. but i am unable to see the dialog when OnOk button until the other dialog is closed.
Can any one tell me the solution for the problem.

Why you can't send WM_CLOSE message to the other dialog before recreating it?

BTW, why it's necessary to have CDialog->CModelessDialog>CXXXDailog/CYYYDialog?

Hi,

How can I make a modeless dialog as child to another dialog using code.
I tried ModifyStyle(0,WS_CHILD) in initdialog but not worked..

How to do that?

Usually you Create() the modeless dialog using the other window as its parent, setting window sizes and such.

Print text that looks hollow

Is there any easy way to print text like this:

The numbers have a black trim, but nothing inside.

Please any response any one can give me will be greatly
appreciated.

Sincerely,

You can create a path of the text and then stroke it. You'd do this by -i assume you are using the CDC class- something like:

CDC dc;
...
dc.BeginPath();
dc.TextOut(0, 0, _T("Hollow text"));
dc.EndPath();
dc.StrokePath();
...

I want to be able to recognize when some pane of the statusbar is clicked. I need to know this in my View class which is derived from CView.

One person on this forum suggested subclassing, but didn't know how to go about doing that.
Any ideas?
Thanks
