Erik,
I think you should not be complacent about the error being removed. We still don't know why it crashed before. A bug that has been hidden but not removed can be very deadly.
Good luck.

how can i make an instance of a CRecordSet class execute a more complex query (for example one with an inner select, as shown below)
e.g.
select name, street
from Customers
where name not in
(select name from Uninteresting_Customers
where ....)
the m_strFilter attribute off the CRecordSet class doesn't accept the more complex queries, quite obviously because it was only intended to contain the where-clause of the query....any help would be greatly appreciated...
bye
Jonas

I think for this case you should use ADO API functions:
check these:

Howdy,
I have a SDI CListView type app. I am using a WM_TIMER to try and update the list every second. The timer is working fine but the problem is that the list control doesn't update unless I click on one of the rows.. when I click on a row every row updates like it should, but when ever I want a update I have to click a row. Any ideas?

If you click and it updates itself i would assume you could get away with calling the CListView's SetFocus in your WM_TIMER. Although this might cause flicker and wouldn't allow you select any other object so this is only a short term fix. Perhaps a call to it's OnPaint or Invalidate() would be more appropriate.
If someone explains precisely why, please let me know!
TIA

Put an UpdateWindow after you update the list control. Though I am not sure you are doing the smart thing by calling a proc every 1 second using a timer.

UpdateWindow() ,SetRedraw(TRUE), Update(), UpdateData(FLASE) RedrawWindow(), UpdateItems(int start, int end).. None of these work..

My OnTimer just sends a WM_COPYDATA to another application in return that application sends my console updated data and I update the list control if there are any changes to be made.. So really, it only updates every now and then.. I know its not working because I can make a change in the other app and its not reflected in my Console until I click on a item in the list..
Dumb question, I can populate the list and do all the redrawing through my CListView class right?
Im a little new with SDI and MDI apps..
Thanks,
Rob

Dear all,
Is there any site available for All type of API functions,
and how can we know the recently developed API functions.
If any one knows please help me
Is there any Specific API is available to catch the recently added file in a Particular folder?

If your looking for API reference try msdn. Or maybe look into VB API Reference
If your looking for all api's as in even third party api's
I dunno if any even exist

I need to have a pen that draws one pixle on, then one off, then one on, and so on. There isnt one already a style like this. Is there a way to create a pen like this?

Yuck, I hate using them. But what is a fellow to do? The CWinApp theApp object is a global. And so I have this static data member in one of my classes, and I want it to be destroyed last (or at least after the CWinApp object is destroyed). Is there is any way I can do this? Or any alternative to using that static data member, yuck...?
Thanks!

Create it with new in the CWinApp constructor and destroy it with delete in the CWinApp destructor.

Nope that won't do. It's a multithreaded app, and I don't want to be accessing the CWinApp through another thread. But I've figured it out now, as someone mentioned on another thread that you can use #pragma init_seg(lib). Kind of a hack, but it'll do for now, until a better solution comes up.
Thanks though,

I have external device. The device is connected with the computer through the serial-port. I send on the device number (signal), if it answers, the necessary procedure is started. I can use WaitCommEvent() for event (signal, EV_DSR), but if devise doesn't answer, WaitCommEvent will wait indefinitely, but i need to wait about 5 sec. I used WaitForSingleObject, but it doesn't work!
I don't know why. In what my error?
HANDLE port;
DWORD bc;
DCB dcb;
char buffer[100];
DWORD dwBlockSize=512;
void *szBuffer;
int numb=255;
BOOL fSuccess;
OVERLAPPED event;
DWORD dwEvtMask;
ZeroMemory(&dcb,sizeof(DCB));
strcpy(buffer,"baud=1200 parity=N data=8 stop=1");
BuildCommDCB((char*)&buffer,&dcb);
dcb.fRtsControl = RTS_CONTROL_ENABLE;
port=CreateFile("COM1",
GENERIC_READ|GENERIC_WRITE,
0,
NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING,
0,
NULL);
GetCommState(port,&dcb);
if(port==INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
CloseHandle(port);
}
SetCommState(port,&dcb);
HeapFree(GetProcessHeap(),0,&dcb);
szBuffer = malloc(dwBlockSize);
memset(szBuffer, numb, dwBlockSize);
WriteFile(port,szBuffer,sizeof(szBuffer),&bc,NULL);
free(szBuffer);
fSuccess = SetCommMask(port, EV_DSR);
event.hEvent = CreateEvent(NULL,FALSE,FALSE,NULL);
//Wait for signal
if (WaitForSingleObject(event.hEvent, 5000) == WAIT_OBJECT_0)
{
//procedure
}
else AfxMessageBox("There is no signal from the device");
CloseHandle(port);

|

|

Two questions: Where is the event.hEvent signaled? Are you waiting for the event to become signaled or waiting for it to time out?
If I understand your question you need to test for WAIT_TIMEOUT not WAIT_OBJECT_0

i'm using mfc, with cview as the base class. i can't find any books that shows how to add grid lines. i was wondering if you guys knew how?
|
|
|
|
|
I don't think there is a DrawGrid member function in the default CView class.
You'll have to write your own.
BOOL CTestView::DrawGrid(CDC* pDC, UINT nWidth, UINT nHeight, COLORREF clrGrid)
{
CRect rcArea;
GetClientRect(&rcArea);
HPEN hPen = CreatePen(PS_SOLID, 1, clrGrid);
SelectObject(pDC->m_hDC, hPen);
int x, y = 0;
for(y=0; y<=rcArea.bottom; y+=nHeight)
{
pDC->MoveTo(x, y);
pDC->LineTo(0, y);
for(x=0; x<=rcArea.right; x+=nWidth)
{
pDC->MoveTo(x, y);
pDC->LineTo(x, 0);
}
}
return TRUE;
}
Your gonna probably wanna tweak this. For example
becuz i don't use the CPen class(I dunno why, i just never do) I'm pretty sure your going to want to restore the original object in your selectObject, cuz it leaks and each time you call DrawGrid which is lots cuz it's called in OnDraw you'll leak and your GDI will go for sh*ts eventually.
Anyways hope this helps

Hi guys,
I need some expert advice here, if anyone knows more about this stuff  .
First, let's name two classes for clarity. cService and cUser.
The cService class uses a handle mechanism to give the cUser class a way to indicate which agreggate objects (within cService) are being referred to whenever it makes various function calls. That handle, as far as the cUser is concerned, is just a number which means nothing to the cUser. But internally to cService, this handle is really a pointer to a link element in a linked list.
The problem that arises is that sometimes the cUser may have an invalid handle because of multithreaded (de)synchronization, which it will pass to the cService. The cService class needs to check whether this handle is valid, so what I have devised is to cast the handle to some base class pointer, namely cDestructible*, and then try to do cast it to the templated link list element class pointer, say cListLink<cServiceAggregate>*.
This is done through a safe_dynamic_cast<>, which is basically a dynamic_cast<> wrapped in try catch handlers, as so:
<code>
// safe_dynamic_cast<> never throws an exception; it traps all exceptions, and
// returns a NULL pointer instead (and so the cast must be between two
// pointers).
template <class tDestType, class tSourceType>
tDestType
safe_dynamic_cast(tSourceType SourceObject)
{
tDestType Dest = NULL;
try
{
Dest = dynamic_cast<tDestType>(SourceObject);
}
catch(...)
{
// Failed; return NULL.
}
return Dest;
}
</code>
Now this mechanism seems to work fine. To further clarify (if anyone has been able to follow so far), we have cListLink, which is derived from cDestructible. cService has a list of cServiceAggregate objects which are referred to by the cUser via handles. When the cUser object calls a function of the cService class, the cService class validates the handle, trying to convert the handle to a pointer, as follows:
<code>
cListLink<cServiceAggregate>* Aggregate =
safe_dynamic_cast<cListLink<cServiceAggregate>*>
((cDestructible*)handle);
if(Aggregate)
{
// Do stuff with Aggregate here, as it is valid.
}
</code>
Now this system seems to work fine in debug mode, and has been working quite well for a while actually. But in release mode something falls apart. I get an access violation while in the dynamic_cast<> call, which is fine, but then my catch handler doesn't catch it---instead, everything just goes poop. The whole app crashes. Perhaps what I'm doing here is a no-no, but I don't know any other way I can do this.
C++ support RTTI, which I find is useless, because there is no way of determining if a given pointer is of a given type (only if it's MOST DERIVED type is that type). I can't just use a base class and a virtual function cause this doesn't help as we don't know if the handles are valid.
Anyone have any thoughts to this?
Cheers!

First of all, dynamic cast does not throw an exception, it just returns NULL. As far as I can see, there is no point in the safe dynamic cast class above.
I'm lost as to the rest of this - a handle is just a pointer to an object ? The point of RTTI is to be able to have an objerct of a base class and know which derived type it is pointing to. I didn't know if there were multiple levels of derivation it would fail if, for example, I asked if a CCheckListBox pointer was a CListBox pointer. That sounds wrong to me, I'll have to write some code to check.

I've done a lot of mucking around with this. Yes, the documentation SAYS that it should return NULL. However, dynamic_cast sometimes crashes when given an invalid pointer, and sometimes throws a bad_cast exception. Go figure!
And RTTI doesn't work with multiple levels of derivation. I've tried.

I'd love to see the code. I don't doubt you, but this has *never* happened to me and I use dynamic_cast constantly. MAybe we can find the reason you're getting such errors.

I haven't, but I'll have a play tonight ( not that I doubt you, I just like to prove stuff ). That is a little disappointing...
