Yes you could have serial number checks or restrictive limitation for the application. However, when a full version is released, it has the potential to be copied, hacked etc.

IMO it is not worth putting a lot of effort into protecting the software. At best a protection system that stops casual copying between friends is all I would go for. As already mensioned, whatever protection you add to software someone will be able to remove it.

If the software is good enough and cheap enough then a percentage of people will register it. If you go for volume and therefore consumer awareness even a small percentage registrants will bring in the money.

Additionally, an insentive to register could be to get another application free, lifetime updates for the application. That sort of thing.

ODBC programming - need help

I just started programming VC++6 with database support and I already have a major problem: I created a SDI application and when I choose only one table from the Access database everything goes well. But I can't handle 2 or more table from the same database.... How do I use 2 or more table and how do I execute queries(SQL) on tables??? Confused | :confused:

I really need help as soon as possible...
A small application using a database with 2 or more table and which shows how to execute SQL queries on different tables would be great... I would really appreciate that!

Please help me... Blush | :O

I would recommand you to use a real database server, Firebird for example.

Do you want to program odbc lowlevel? If not, take a look at the database-Classes here in codeproject.

http://www.codeproject.com/database/#ODBC[^]
There are some examples.

The SQL query generated by ClassWizard should have formed the JOIN clause automatically. In case it didn't, you'll need to do it manually. For example, here is a JOIN on three tables of a database I recently worked on:

SELECT [Meet].[Name], [Meet].[Date], [Gymnast].[Name], [Scores].[Score1]
FROM Meet INNER JOIN (Gymnast INNER JOIN Scores ON [Gymnast].[AutoNumber]=[Scores].[GymnastNum]) ON [Meet].[AutoNumber]=[Scores].[MeetNum]
ORDER BY meet.date;

Search MSDN for different examples of LEFT, RIGHT, INNER, FULL, CROSS, and OUTER joins.

Yes and no. The COM ports, by default, are continous IO. They don't fire events unless you specify so, and tell them what events they fire. This is called asynchronous communication, or overlapped IO, and is fairly well covered by many articles in the Net.

Here[^] is a link to one, right here on Code Project.

Linker warning: Multiple ".rdata" sections with different atrributes

I am working with VC++ 6.0 with Windows-DDK installed in the system and correct Directory-path (Include & Library) set. After compilation of any VC++ project from workspace when I start the build-process, I am getting a linker-warning as follows.

[LINK : warning LNK4078: multiple ".rdata" sections found with different attributes (C0000040)]

My project-setting involves "Incremental-Linking" and I am using Debug-build. This is not a project-specific warning. Any simple MFC application is throwing this LNK-warning during build.
If anyone has come across this situation, please let me know how to get rid of this problem... D'Oh! | :doh:

if this warning doesn't cause any problems with the software then you can easily ignore it.

istream: seekg / tellg, peculiar behaviour

LiquidEyes13-Sep-04 1:39

13-Sep-04 1:39

I'm having two istream-related problems. Please can somebody help... Confused | :confused:

Problem 1

void loadStuffFromStream (istream& stream)
{
	// goes too far!!
	stream.seekg( length, ios_base::cur );
}

***edited*** This seems to skip to an arbitrary position in the stream, instead of 'current position' + length bytes. Why does it do this?

Problem 2

char ch;
int pos;
...
pos = stream.tellg();		// now pos=0
stream.get (ch);
pos = stream.tellg();		// now pos=3585 ???
stream.get (ch);
pos = stream.tellg();		// now pos=3586
stream.get (ch);
pos = stream.tellg();		// now pos=3587
stream.get (ch);
// etc...

Not so much a 'problem' as a matter of curiosity. Why is there a sudden leap in the read-position reported by tellg the first time I read from the stream? (N.B. It is reading the correct characters into ch!)

I want to know something about video chat.for example:whici protocal is preferred,which Interface is used to record video data and audio data.
I also want to know whether the data structure used to store the video data and audio data is the same.if not,the procedure of recording video and audio is separately executed.IGraphicBuilder and ICaptureGraphBuilder2 are used to capture video. and Recording audio data is execute by another interfaces?

please help me,thanks a lot

Console in C++?

Hi,
how can i use the Console in vc++ .net?
I've seen an example code at MSDN like:
Console::WriteLine("blabla");
However, I need to reference the "System" namespace i guess...It's easy to do that in VB.NET and C# but how to do that in VC++.NET ?
Thanks

Re: Console in C++?

Antti Keskinen13-Sep-04 2:43

There's one crucial difference.

VC++ .NET is standard C++, you can write console applications by creating a file that contains the function main and links with the C Runtime Library.

However, Managed Extensions for C++ (MC++) is the C++ version you use to write software for .NET Framework. MC++ is the language that can be compared with C# or VB .NET, for example. VC++ .NET is not a .NET language.

In MC++, you need to use the import statements to use the .NET Framework. For example:

#import <mscorlib.dll> // Required for all .NET applications
#import <system.dll> // the System namespace<DIV>

// Call the console
System::Console::Writeline( L"BlaBla" );

Microsoft is currently developing the C++/CLI specification, which is MUCH more flexible and usable than MC++. To write programs with this language, you need to have the Visual C++ Express 8 Beta version, available from Microsoft as a free download.

callback of a class' method

Jerome Conus12-Sep-04 23:29

Jerome Conus

12-Sep-04 23:29

Hi !

I'm calling a function of a api to which I have to give a pointer to a callback function. Here is the typedef :

typedef int (*proc_restore_progress_callback)(restore_progress_data*)

The problem is that I want, as the callback method, to pass a method of my own class. I tried something like this :

api_set_restore_progress_callback(JSPartLoader::setRestoreProgress);*)

Here is the signature of the 'setRestoreProgress' method :

int JSPartLoader::setRestoreProgress(restore_progress_data* pProgressData);*)

But I get a compiler error :

error C2664: 'set_restore_progress_callback' : impossible to convert the parameter 1 from 'int (restore_progress_data *)' to 'proc_restore_progress_callback'

Is it possible to give a class' method as the callback function or do I have to have a global function which will be the callback function ?

Thanks for your help !
Jerome

Re: callback of a class' method

Antti Keskinen13-Sep-04 2:26

This problem is related to the class abstracty concept. As you specify that ClassA::MethodA is a callback function for some other function, then how, at run-time, can then code determine the correct instance of class ?

The problem is most often faced in wrapping Win32 API functions inside C++ classes. GameDev.Net has an excellent article about this, here[^].

If you wish to use a class method as callback's target, the method must be declared static, or you need to have a static router function that can flawlessly determine the instance to which the method should be routed.

Also, there is a Code Project article written by Nitzan Shaked here[^] that provides yet another approach to the problem.

Hope this helps..
