Re: casting char to wchar? - C / C++ / MFC Discussion Boards

I did this c. 30 years ago using Fortran, but I can't remember how we did it! and I still have the source code!

The last time I did it I cheated and use PtInRect, I assume the mouse could be X pixels away from the line? If so then just create a bounding rectange and check if the mouse position is within the rectangle or if it must be on the line just make a 1 pixel rectangle.

You will need to 'cheat' slightly the docs state "A point on the right or bottom side is considered outside the rectangle." so make the rectangle 1 pixel too big on these axis.

If the line is curved, you need to know the rate of curve. otherwise, it's basic trigonometry.

LoadFrame Fails on target machine

I have an MFC Winapp that runs fine on dev machine, but when I deploy to target machine (XP Pro and WinNT) the pMainFrame->LoadFrame(IDR_MAINFRAME) fails. I have a menu, icon and string associated with the resource ID IDR_MAINFRAME.

I have had a heck of a time trying to determine the difference between the dev machine besides the obvious (ie development studio).

Using IDE 2003, unmanaged project.

Any advice or help is much appreciated.

Strange things happen in my C++-MFC-application:

At this position on the call stack I throw a user-defined exception:

Alternatively, when not installing a customer error handler with _se_set_translator, I end up with the following call stack:

Which, of course leads to those ugly access violations and terminates my application.

Question:

Is anyone of you aware of some circumstances where it could be unsafe to throw exception during processing windows messages? Maybe I throw away some window handle where the associated WindowProc still tries to send messages to that window? Or something similar? Or something completely different?

I'm really really clueless Confused | :confused:

Just found the following quote:

When programming for Windows, it is important to remember that exceptions cannot cross the boundary of a "callback." In other words, if an exception occurs within the scope of a message or command handler, it must be caught there, before the next message is processed.

casting char to wchar?

Hi,
I need some simple text to speech code and
installed MS speech SDK5.1.
I can hardcode like: hr = pVoice->Speak(L"I am glad to speak", 0, NULL);
How can I replace "I am glad to speak" with a char* text?
What does L stand for here? probably XML staff?
Thanks for your help.
Bob

L"text" -> The L implies Unicode text. (wchar)

Just remove the L and you should be fine.

USE these MACRO T2BSTR -- Converting Char * to Wide String!
W2T --- Converting WideString to char*

Above code will written like this using String conversion macro!

char szSpeak[]="I am glad to speak";
USES_CONVERSION; //Activate Macros :)

 hr = pVoice->Speak(T2BSTR(szSpeak), 0, NULL);

NO!!!!!!

Don't use T2BSTR. First off, it will leak a BSTR as you used it. MS strongly suggests that you use CComBSTR for conversions to and from BSTR.

Also, I think the API routine uses a const WCHAR *. Thus creating a BSTR not only means you are using the wrong data type, but you are also wasting computer resources creating the BSTR.

Another thing worth mentioning with these string conversion macros, is that they are potentially dangerous in loops, as they allocate memory on the stack, and not on the heap.

That isn't true for 7.0 and greater. The conversion macros became first class objects and avoid the whole loop issue.

I think... Smile | :)

From my atlconv.h (atl7/vs.net 2k3):

#define W2A(lpw) (\
	((_lpw = lpw) == NULL) ? NULL : (\
		_convert = (lstrlenW(_lpw)+1)*2,\
		ATLW2AHELPER((LPSTR) alloca(_convert), _lpw, _convert, _acp)))

They added the Cx2y-classes, and deprecated the macros, so that existing code wouldn't break.

Quick answer: Use the string conversion macros in atlconv.h:

char* txt = "Hello Bob";
hr = pVoice->Speak ( A2W(txt), 0, NULL );

Thank you so much for your help.

However, there are some errors occur:
1. using the following order
#include <atlconv.h>
#include <stdafx.h>
#include <sapi.h>

it gives error C2065: 'A2W' : undeclared identifier

2. if #include <stdafx.h>
#include <sapi.h>
#include <atlconv.h>

It gives 14 errors with first one as:
d:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\atl\include\atlconv.h(48) : error C2065: '_ASSERTE' : undeclared identifier.

Please check the Do not treat <'s as HTML tags checkbox and use <pre> tags so your includes show up properly.

I don't know which libraries you're using. Including atlconv.h will Just Work for MFC and ATL projects.

Hi Mike,
I just realize that the post I sent doesn't show the contents correctly.
(I didn't click "Do not treak <'s as HTML")
The include files are
#include <stdafx.h>
#include <sapi.h>
#include <atlconv.h>

where in stdafx.h:
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN // Exclude rarely-used stuff from Windows headers
#include <stdio.h>

A problem with creating a scrollbar

jim000027-May-05 10:55

jim0000

27-May-05 10:55

OK, my problem for some of you may seem silly but I'm a rookie at Windows API.
I've written a program - a simple database (it stores student's names and their marks). All of this information is contained in Edit controls. It all works fine but when I add more students to the list some of them aren't shown. So I have to make a vertical scrollbar. But I don't have any idea how to do it. I've found some description about SCROLLINFO structure but I don't know how to use it. I've added WM_VSCROLL to my window class, but it just shows up and do nothing. I would be very grateful if someone could help me.
I'm using Dev C++ if it matters.

And some info about this program - the number of students is indicated by a global variable int a. It is increased by a function void new_student(). Each control is 30 high + 10 of space. At the top of that list there are static controls which name the columns - they're the same size as Edits...

And sorry for my English Smile | :)

Edit: If you know some easier way to do the scrolling (by hitting some keys or something like that) please write it too Smile | :)

Using SendInput() to send a letter

Hi, I want to simulate a keypress using SendInput(). I am trying to send the letter 'a' to the programme VLC(VideoLAN) to adjust the volume.

Can anyone please show me a full example of something like this, using either SendInput(), SendMessage or any other way? I am using Visual C++. I have googled for this for three days now, and I can't find any good examples Frown | :(

Thanks in advance!

Last I read it was very difficult to alter the text in pane 0. This is because the MFC framework is always writing something to it, so even if you wrote something else to it, it would only last a fraction of a second until MFC changed it. Depending on what you are doing, it might be better to create a second pane and write to it.

With the following steps:
1.Define a value,such as ID_FO_INDEX_MOUSEPOS.
static UINT indicators[] =
{
ID_SEPARATOR, // status line indicator
ID_FO_INDEX_MOUSEPOS,
ID_INDICATOR_CAPS,
ID_INDICATOR_NUM,
ID_INDICATOR_SCRL,
};
2.Add a update message to your view.
afx_msg void OnUpdateMousePos(CCmdUI *pCmdUI);
ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(ID_FO_INDEX_MOUSEPOS, OnUpdateMousePos)

3.Change it with the following style:
void CFOPCanvasCore::OnUpdateMousePos(CCmdUI *pCmdUI)
{
pCmdUI->SetText(m_IndMousePosString);
}
