Hello,
I'm interested in creating a menu bar, which is very similar to the explorer menu bar.
I've found some information here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/commctls/faq/iemenubar.asp
In this article it is explained that the menu bar is actually a modified toolbar.
The problem I have is how you could achieve the appearance of the menu. (the bar a the top)
The menu items are totally flat and if you move your mouse pointer over a specific item it is highlighted. (the background gets blue, the text color switches to white)
Did they implement their own drawing routine or did they use some standard drawing mechanisms?

If you don't care about menu customization, you could instead just use Bruno Podetti's excellent NewMenu[^]  class.

Hi, I'm about to make a class which can take care of some console IO, but i have a problem, in the bottom of the header(under class definition) i have added a function like this:
static inline cIOManager &endl(cIOManager &io)
{
io.CursorPos(io.StartX(),io.Y()+1);
return io;
}
But the problem is that i gets the following linker errors:
IOManager test error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: void __thiscall cIOManager::CursorPos(short,short)" (?CursorPos@cIOManager@@QAEXFF@Z) referenced in function "class cIOManager & __cdecl endl(class cIOManager &)" (?endl@@YAAAVcIOManager@@AAV1@@Z)
IOManager test error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: short __thiscall cIOManager::StartX(void)" (?StartX@cIOManager@@QAEFXZ) referenced in function "class cIOManager & __cdecl endl(class cIOManager &)" (?endl@@YAAAVcIOManager@@AAV1@@Z)
IOManager test error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: short __thiscall cIOManager::Y(void)" (?Y@cIOManager@@QAEFXZ) referenced in function "class cIOManager & __cdecl endl(class cIOManager &)" (?endl@@YAAAVcIOManager@@AAV1@@Z)
I don't know why these are there, in the definition of the class i have:
inline void CursorPos (short pX,short pY);
...
inline short Y();
...
inline short StartX();
And in the source(.cpp file) file i have these lines:
inline void cIOManager::StartCursorPos(short pStartX,short pStartY)
{
...
}
...
inline short cIOManager::Y()
{
return mCursorPos.Y;
}
...
inline short cIOManager::StartX()
{
return mStartCursorPos.X;
}
So i really can't understand why i gets linker errors, can someone please explain?

Hi!
i have a client server application
the server waits for the client to establish a connection and then recv some data
my problem is if the client sends one byte of data the server gladly acepts it but when the client sends two or more bytes then after sometime the client receives one byts first then the next byte(s) .As s result byte shiftin takes plave and my programs goes haywire
Help!!!!!!!1

if you know the amount of bytes the server have to receive, you can while until that amount is not received entierely (and until an error didn't occur)

Thanx but i already tried that!
it is a little crude way of doing things
Also my problem is that i donot know how much data i am going to get in one go?
if any other method can be aplplied then please help!!!!

but the sender knows how much datas it sends...
so, you could send first an int with the number of bytes that are about to be received, then send the packet.
This way, the receiver will catch the value, and enter a while loop until that amount of data is not received entierly...
is is good for you like that ?

thanx man
that did solve some of my problem
but in my case the sender is a third party system
hence i donot know how much the sender is going to send
I cannot pass an "int" there can i?
hence am still stuck in the same old problem

Please can you show me any links where I can get information about working with DEBUG in Visual C++.Net
cause Im experiencing big difficulties in error finding.Thank you.

you can add some TRACE(), some breakpoints, and look where the program freezes

How can I create a program that is executed when the computer is switched on. I want to do this to check how many times the internet has been accessed using the internet explorer

wow, don't mix everything. when the computer "switch on", the BIOS loads the operating system, which can be Windows for example. then, windows loads all its components, and only there, is ready to load a session (user).
you can add you program into the start folder of the start menu (not sure of the right path in english versions of windows, and depends also of the OS), or add a key in the registry in the list of the programs that are to launch when a user's session starts.

Hi.
I am newbie to this website. I have some questions. My first question is about how to implement self-extracting installers? These programs have the ability to extract files stored within their executables. Secondly, most programs including compilers have the ability to create brand new .EXE files. I know that i can write an interpreter of any new or old language but how to make an independent EXE which can run without the interpreter?
Thanks in advance.
Waiting for your replys.
I just looked around this website. I must say that it is a very nice site for programming. Comprehensive articles are also available. A complete separate section for MFC controls, including subclassing, etc. I also liked the DirectX section. Complete game making like Tetris, RaceX, etc. is given which helps not only to understand game programming but also to inspire our own ideas. Keep up the good work

If all you need to do is create a single-EXE installer, then try Inno Setup[^].

I want to display to the user if the WEB site,that he is is protected by SSL.
For this i want to get from the WEB server the client certificate object.
I have a problem to send the request to the server.
This is my code
HINTERNET hOpen, hConnect, hReq;
DWORD dwFlags = INTERNET_FLAG_NO_CACHE_WRITE |
INTERNET_FLAG_KEEP_CONNECTION |
INTERNET_FLAG_IGNORE_CERT_CN_INVALID |
INTERNET_FLAG_IGNORE_CERT_DATE_INVALID|
INTERNET_FLAG_PRAGMA_NOCACHE;
char *lpBuffer, szData[51];
INTERNET_PORT dwPort;
wchar_t* accept[2]={L"*/*",0};
if ( !(hOpen = InternetOpen ( "HeadDump", INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG , NULL, NULL, 0) ) )
{
ShowError ( GetLastError(), "InternetOpen");
return false;
}
if ( !(hConnect = InternetConnect ( hOpen, url, dwPort,""/* user*/, ""/* password*/, INTERNET_SERVICE_HTTP, 0 , 1) ) )
{
ShowError (GetLastError(), "InternetConnect");
return false;
}
if ( !(hReq = HttpOpenRequest (hConnect, "GET", url, "HTTP/1.0", "", (const char**) accept, dwFlags ,1 )))
{
ShowError (GetLastError(), "HttpOpenRequest");
return false;
}
again:
//Resolver::Trace("Send Request = " + data);
std::string header = CONTENT_TYPE_STR;
if ( !HttpSendRequest (hReq, // handle from HttpOpenRequest
NULL,0, NULL,0) )
{
ShowError (GetLastError(), "HttpSendRequest");
dwFlags |= SECURITY_FLAG_IGNORE_UNKNOWN_CA |
SECURITY_FLAG_IGNORE_REVOCATION |
SECURITY_FLAG_IGNORE_REDIRECT_TO_HTTP |
SECURITY_FLAG_IGNORE_REDIRECT_TO_HTTPS |
SECURITY_FLAG_IGNORE_CERT_DATE_INVALID |
SECURITY_FLAG_IGNORE_CERT_CN_INVALID;
if ( !InternetSetOption (hReq,
INTERNET_OPTION_SECURITY_FLAGS,
&dwFlags,
sizeof (dwFlags) ) )
{
ShowError(GetLastError(),"InternetSetOptionFailed");
return false;
}
}
I'm new in VC++.

MFC Supports Print preview only for applications with Document/View Architecture. I'd like to print from the Modal dialog and also want to have Preview Dialog. Any Samples already there?
|
|
|
|
|
There sure is. Take look in the printing section. I have presented a base class to use instead of CDialog there which gives a CDialog the same interface as a standard CView for printing
If you vote me down, my score will only get lower

If C++ already supports the C Standard Library, why do
we need to declare extern "C" when using C-linkage?
When do we use extern "C"? Is this compiler-specific
feature? Or is it defined in the standard ANSI C++?
On MSDN, it says Microsoft C++ supports the strings
"C" and "C++" in the string-literal field. However,
I have never seen something like extern "C++". Has
anyone seen it? Will we ever need to use extern "C++"?
Thanks

Hello Alex,
The extern "C" declaration is used to tell the C++ compiler not to mangle the symbol which is being declared.
When the C++ compiler encounters a function name like "DisplayCurrentThreadId()" which has not been declared as extern "C", it will emit a symbol for it which will look like the following :
?DisplayCurrentThreadId@@YAXXZ
The actual symbol produced depends on the compiler used (the above was produced by VC++ 6.0). This symbol will be used in the resulting OBJ file for linking purposes.
C++ has a variety of reasons for symbol name mangling, of course. But the reason for the mangling of function name (both class functions and global ones) is to enable function name overloading (i.e. using the same function name with different parameter types).
If extern "C" was used to declare the function, the symbol produced for it could be :
_DisplayCurrentThreadId
This depends on the compiler used. But the bottom line is that no function name overloading will be allowed (since the C language does not support this, hence extern "C").
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Bio.

Bio,
Thanks for your reply. I have one more question, does
the term extern "C" has anything to do with the storage
specifier extern?
Now that I understand name mangling, I wonder if extern "C"
is a C++ language feature, or is it compilers' feature?
