http://www.unicode.org/Public/PROGRAMS/CVTUTF/
From Unicode.org themselves

Handles UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32.
There's also some UTF-7 code up there, if you care.

You can also use MultiByteToWideChar() and vice versa to do UTF8 and UTF16 conversions. See MS docs for the constants.

hi,
i'm tring to set up BlueTooth communication between 2 PDA's.
in my client side,i wrote this part of code:

WSAQUERYSET Wsaq;
ZeroMemory(&Wsaq,sizeof(Wsaq));
Wsaq.dwSize = sizeof(Wsaq);
Wsaq.dwNameSpace = NS_BTH;
Wsaq.lpcsaBuffer = NULL;
if(WSALookupServiceBegin(&Wsaq,LUP_RETURN_ALL ,&hlookup) == SOCKET_ERROR)
{
ErrorValue = WSAGetLastError();
ErrorString.Format(_T("%d"),ErrorValue);
AfxMessageBox(TEXT("WSALookupServiceBegin() Error
Number ")+ ErrorString);
return;
}
.
.
.

also,in my header file there is #include<winsock2.h> & i've imported ws2.lib,
but i always gets this error:

BTexampleDlg.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl
WSALookupServiceBeginW(struct _WSAQuerySetW *,unsigned long,void * *)"
(?WSALookupServiceBeginW@@YAHPAU_WSAQuerySetW@@KPAPAX@Z) referenced in
function "protected: void __cdecl CBTexampleDlg::Onstart(void)" (?
Onstart@CBTexampleDlg@@IAAXXZ)
ARMV4Rel/BTexample.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

(i've got the same error with WSALookupServiceNext() function and
WSALookupServiceEnd() function).

can someone please help me?
my email is : Eliv@Roadeye.co.il

thanks,eli.

CEdit question

Hello,

I would like to know whether it is possible to listen to a specific EM_/EN_ message from CEdit informing the caret has been moved to a different position? Is there such a message? Or do I have to listen to the OnChar event and from there call GetSel(...,...) to know the caret position?

All comments are very appreciated,

accessing Windows Files ..

Hi..

I have created some directories and sub directories using the Unicode function "CreatedirectoryW()" as the full path exceeds 260 chars..and it was succesful from the code point of view..

Though I created these when i decided to access them from windows I couldn't do so..It is throwing an error that "can't access this folder.Path is too long"..

If this is the case what is the purpose of Using Unicode function to create directories which exceeds 260 chars limit??

Is there anyway we can access these files???

Thanks
Sudhakar

You can access paths over 260 characters by adding "\\.\" to the beginning of the filename. Remember to escape the backslash.

Oh, well in that case there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. It is a limitation of Windows explorer. If you want them to be able to access it, you'll have to make the path names shorter.

I have a static function inside a class. It is actually a seperate thread, so it has to be static. Is there a way that I can access normal members of the class from the static thread funcion? Any help is appreciated.

You should use FindFirstFile and FindNextFile, and check returned WIN32_FIND_DATA structure for FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY attribute. The other function to get current directory, is GetCurrentDirectory not GetDirectory.

You can also use _access() as in:

if (_access("c:\\MyDir", 0) == 0)
    ; // exists
else
    ; // does not

Hi,

I am using win32 API programming, I want to handle the selected windows in task manager, when we click minimize, maximise options for selected windows. How can I get the selected window(s) handle to send our user defined message.
I need to send some own message, before OS sending minimize/maximize message. Is it possible to get the handle please help me.

Thanks in Advance

Use FindWindow or FindWindowEx function in API. This will take window class and name as parameter, and will give you handle, if found. You can find window class using Spy++ utility, that comes with Visual Studio.

try making a program that gets the window from point.
for example when you click somewhere on the screen the program would show you on a dialog box on some static text info about the window.
Use
WindowFromPoint()
