Hello,
my code seems to work correctly, but I have some problems :
1) SELECT in the files returns me no record but an error message: "Impossible de trouver le fichier memo xBase Demande", in english it can be traduced by "impossible to find the requested xBase memo file" ....
If I open the file with Excel and launch my appli accessing the file, all records are correctly selected and returned ... Strange I know, but true. Simple, to test my appli and until I have a better solution, I just open all accessed files with Excel at the same time ...
Any idea on the cause of this problem and its solution?
2) I thought I had a too old version of my ODBC drivers, so I wanted to upgrade them ...
With microsoft, it is never easy to find anything, so what should I upgrade to upgrade my ODBC drivers ? Seems to be MSJet engine ... So I downloaded the lastest MSJet4.0 sp8, but when I want to install it, it refuses to do it and tells me that I should already have at least the sp3 installed to install this sp8 ... The problem is that, when I verify manually the version of the dll, the version corresponds to a sp5 ... So I don't know what to do to perform my installation ...
3) ODBC and MDAC ... are both linked ? if I upgrade ODBC, should I also upgrade MDAC ? and if yes, which version of MDAC should I install (I have the MDAC 2.5 sp2 installed at the moment)?
4) in one of my dbf table, I have to make a selection on an ID to retrieve a record. This ID seems to be numeric but must not be declared as a standard numeric or even text value (I am thinking to an auto incremented value or style like that) because, in my clause WHERE, when I don't use the quotes, ODBC send me a error message saying that my format is not correct, and when I use the quotes, I don't receive the error, but no record is returned (even if my file is opened with Excel ...) is the any other way to write my request ?
Sorry to bug you again with this but I am a little bit stuck
Regards
DD

I'm currently in the middle of redesigned a larger application.
Previously the application was divided in [too] large chunks (I will use the term chunk to distinguish it from files/modules). Each chunk had a lot of source (mainly .c) files, but only one header (.h) file that had to be included by the routines of that chunk and by other routines that wanted to use that chunk.
Up to now we used precompiled header files to speed up compilation (all files of a chunk had to include their own header file as first file).
Now I want to divide all these chunks in smaller C++ classes. Each class will have its own header (.h) file and source (.cpp) file. My hope is to end up with less includes, less dependencies and thus a faster compilation.
However, what I notice is just the opposite. We try to make a lot of use of STL and Boost templates, but these seem to slow down compilation seriously. On the other hand, we cannot use precompiled headers anymore because each class has its own header file.
In the fantastic book 'Debugging Applications for .Net and Windows', the author, John Robbins, suggests to use one main header file (e.g. ALL.H) that is included (first) by all of our source files. All includes that aren't changed in the last 3 months should be put in that header file (including STL and Windows includes). In our case we would typically include STL and Boost header files in that ALL.H file, but the template constructions even seem to slow down compilations if precompiled header files are used.
How do you organize your header files? How do you use precompiled headers? And what should be the correct way to use them?
(maybe this could be a question for a poll, but it is probably too C++ oriented for that).
Thanks for your help, fellow CPians.
Enjoy life, this is not a rehearsal !!!

hi all..
i m new to VC++ and i want to know,where i can get info related to accessing databases using DAO,ODBC in VC++.Any books,preferably.
Thanks in advance

MSDN Library is your friend. If you don't have it yet, go to it's home page and order a subscription license for yourself. This library contains just about every official thing related to Windows programming world.
MSDN Library is also available via the Net for free reading, and I just happened to have a link to the site handling database and data connectivity issues.
MSDN homepage can be found from here[^].
An introduction to database programming with MFC can be found from here[^].
Happy reading !

Hi...
I'm trying to create a patch. I read the msdn online help but couldnt quite get the steps to create a small update patch.
Can anybody give me a clue or other sites that i can refer to on how to get this done?
Thank you

This depends solely on what type of a patch you are planning to create.
Naturally, the most easiest way to patch a program is to replace it's binary executable or library files. This just means that you create an installer which searches or asks for the correct directory, and then dumps it's contents there, overwriting old files as fit.
If you have a gaming application that contains a huge file for resources such as scripts, models, sounds etc then dumping a new file is not really an option (Nobody wants to download a patch of 200 Mb in size). In this case, your best bet is to originally design the resource files to be patchable, that is, you use an encoding or encryption algorithm to which you have the appropriate decoding mechanism. Then you just read the client's file, decode it, make necessary changes, and re-encode the file.

Thanks for ur reply.
I'm very new at this thing. If you dont mind, can u pls direct me to a site or resource that can help me?
FYI, I just want to make a small upgrade to the previous program where only new functionalities will be introduced.
What do I need and where do I start?
Thank you in advance...
|
|
|
|

Hmm..
You could specify a bit more clearly of what you are planning to do..
For example, are you creating an upgrade to your own program ? That is, do you have access to the source code ? If you do, then you only need to implement the new functionalities, rebuild the program files and distribute them in a small installation.
If, however, you are planning to create an upgrade to some one else's program, to which you don't have any source code available, I heavily suggest that you first contact the author of the software and either ask him/her to implement the new functionalities, or request for a source code portion to implement these functionalities yourself. The first option is of course the more polite one, as not all authors are willing to hand over their source codes, especially if they are commercial products.
The final option is to outrightly hack the program. This means that you would first reverse-engineer the original executable (disassemble it), then do the necessary changes in assemblic code. Needless to say that this is extremely difficult and I suggest you do not even try it out, as you might ruin the program file if you don't know what you're doing.
There are no sites or resources that I am aware which would handle this type of issue, as mostly upgrades or patches are created and released by those people who originally made the software. I suggest you contact the author and ask him/her for an opinion of what to do.

I'm really sorry for the lack of information...
And yes, I'm planning to upgrade my own program. I'm not sure whether I should create new installation program for distribution as it requires uninstallation of the old version (which has very small modification in it for the upgrade). What's more, I want the registry settings for the program to remain as it is before upgrade.
That's why I thought patching would be the best method to get this done. I know I can easily create a patch using readily available patch generator program but I'd really like to build it on my own.
Though, I'm really clueless on what are the tools I need and what I'm required to do...
Tried getting the msimsp.exe file as suggested in msdn but there's no available installation for xp.
Really appreciate your help and thanks again....

Hi!
I have installed libpcap to my linux computer, and I have made a simple program that uses the file pcap.h in /include.
I having problem with looking up the device. My code is:
dev = pcap_lookupdev(errbuf);
and message I get when I compile is
/home/steve/tmp/ccCzGEwY.o(.text+0x1e): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `pcap_lookupdev'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Can someone help me??
Thanks for your time
/Stefan

This just means that the function 'pcap_lookupdev' is not defined properly. Either it is missing from the header file or you don't have the actual implementation of the function.
Did you remember to install any accompanied library files as well ? Remembered to include those libraries to the build/compile phase ?

You need to add -lpcap to your compile options, and ensure that libpcap.o is in a place that can be found by the compiler (either in the path specified by the LIB environment variable, or add the path using the -L option, IIRC).

what would be appropriate mechanism to write into Edit boxes of another application.
|
|
|
|
|
You could put your text into the clipboard and then send the Editbox a WM_PASTE-message.
This approach needs some research about the format of text in the clipboard and the exact content of the WM_PASTE-message but you can maybe look at some of the special editboxes here at CP some of which handle WM_PASTE.

by default a floating toolbar that is not docked has the red 'x' at the top-right corner to allow users to close the toolbar. does anyone know how to disable/remove that 'x' so the toolbar will always exist in the client area of an MDI app? thanks for any help. take care.

Hi All
My idea was to perform autologin once i boot my computer.
So i wrote a windows Service that does the following
1. Wait for 5 minutes.
2. Simulate password characters and the ENTER key so that the login happens.
(using the keybd_event API)
The keybd_event executed from a windows Service does no seem to work.
The service type has the flag SERVICE_INTERACTIVE_PROCESS. But still it does not work.
If i login manually before 5 minutes and open a notepad, then the passowrd and ENTER is automatically typed after 5 minutes of booting.
BUT THE KEYBD_EVENT DOES NOT AFFECT THE LOGIN SCREEN AT ALL.
What is the correct approach for acheiving this functionality >
Thanx
Kiran

|

Thanx for this useful info.
However I want to do this programatically using some key simulation as i wuld need a similar functionality when the user has locked the workstation.
Is there no way we can simulate keystrokes to msgina ??
Thanx

hi,
i need to make http request to server through web proxy servers. any one help to me. thanks in advance.
Murali.M

|
|
|

i think you send the same request to the proxy than to the server.
the only difference is that the url is not just the path, you have to send the full url.
Don't try it, just do it!
