As you have already discovered, joined tables are read-only. You'll need to update each table separately.

Hello Everyone!

I need to access data from XML file with regular database interface.
So that I can use SQL like syntax for accessing data.
(I am working on VC++ 6.0 & Oracle database)

I searched for it & came to know that there is something like ODBC driver for XML.

Someone please tell me where to find any such driver( free ).
& also how to use that.

If anybody have other solution , that will be good.

With Regards

strsafe.h / _s "replacement" for other compilers than VC8?

peterchen6-Jul-05 1:56

I'm (proactively) checking my code against VC8 Beta 2, to find any porting issues.

VC8 uses strsafe.h and "tuned" C Runtime headers, that flag the "old" C string APIs as deprecated, and encourages use of the (safer) "_s" - variants.

Is there any header that allows to compile such code on other compilers (VC7, or MyOwnHomeGrownSeePlusPlusThingie)?

some one can recommend a free MFC library that can generate barcodes with types: code-39, code-128, code-2 of 5, EAN-8 and EAN-13
Thanks a lot.

How to create a localised MFC resources DLL?

Kri55-Jul-05 22:44

Anyone knows how to create a separate MFC resources dll using VS6?

I tried using the Dynamic DLL AppWizard to create an empty dll project, added a dialog and saved it into a new .rc file, and added this new .rc file to the project; but when i tried to compile it showed me a link error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __DllMainCRTStartup@12. I think it's expecting the usual DLLMain functions, but i want to avoid that.

Any ideas anyone?

Ok i found out my mistake - i left out the /noentry link option to prevent the linker referring to the DLLMain function.

I also think on occasion these types of files are given the extension .RLL so that they are not summarily loaded by other programs.
Just a thought if you have any say in the matter.

std::ifstream trouble

Hello,

I once again have problems with the file iostreams from the STL provided with visual studio (2005).

I use the std::ofstream to write data to a file. I verified all the data and everything here works like a charm. The problem here is when I try to read the data back from the file using the std::ifstream class. It reads more bytes than I say it should read. Take a look at my code:

void ReadData(std::ifstream& InFile, char* pData, size_t nCount)
{
	assert( pData );
	assert( nCount > 0 );

	int nPos = InFile.tellg();

	try
	{
		for( size_t i = 0; i < nCount; i++ )
		        (*(pData + i)) = InFile.get();

                // I also tried using:
                // InFile.read(pData, nCount); 
                // but this gives the same error...
	}
	catch( std::exception& ex )
	{
		InFile.seekg(nPos);
	}
}

I removed all the debug code and output statements. My scenario is as follows:
- I have a binary file,
- I read (nCount = 410) bytes
- The stream reads 499 bytes Confused | :confused:

I really don't know what might be wrong here.

Well, urm... D'Oh! | :doh:

I opened the stream in text mode (default) and it should be opened in binary mode. I guess I got confused with MFC's CFile class, which always doesn't care about text and binary mode. It just doesn't manipulate data.

Rebar resizing

I have finally managed to get a rebar working on a MDI window, my problem now is that when the window resizes horizontally the rebar does not so it leaves a blank area next to the bar.

What do I need to do to make it size properly with the parent window?

Thanks in advance!

MDI Parent Size Problem

5-Jul-05 21:51

hello all,

currently, I am trying to have fixed size in my parent mdi.

1. in my PreCreateWindow of my parent mdi, i try to use

cs.x = A_FIXED_X_SIZE
cs.y = A_FIXED_Y_SIZE

however, when my app startup, i didnt get the size i want for parent mdi. i have to double click the title bar of the parent mdi to get my desired size. how i can get my desired size immediately once the app startup?

2. although i disable the maximize, restore button, user still can size the parent mdi by moving the mouse cursor to the border of the window. how can i prevent user from re-sizing my mdi?

thank you very much

cs.x and cs.y are for the left and top sides respectively. You also need to assign values to cs.cx and cs.cy.

Remove the WS_THICKFRAME style. See here.

hello,
thanks for replying.But since i am a novice programmer I would appreciate if you would elaborate more on this code.Like how your using the code? Are you using CREATESTRUCT and CPOINT class? and are you making changes only in the PreCreateWindow()of each view window?
Please expalin in detail

thanks once again

Was it not explained well enough?

sayup wrote:

The PreCreateWindow() method uses the CREATESTRUCT structure. Did you not notice that in your code snippet?

sayup wrote:

No, this only happens in the frame (i.e., the "parent").

Simultaneous access to a serial device from two threads

Juergen Kordes5-Jul-05 21:30

Hi,
can anybody tell me how to access to a serial device from two threads simultaneously? The problem: I open a serial device in a function (with 'CreateFile(...)') and then I start one thread for writing to this device and one for reading. Reading and writing must be independent, because I can receive unexpected data or have to send some unexpectedly.
Passing the device's handle to the threads just lets one thread (the one which tries to access later) crash. In the writing thread I call 'WriteFile(hdlSerDev,...)', in the reading thread I call 'WaitCommEvent( hdlSerDev,...)'.

I believe, only one thread can open port at a time. if not, you have to apply concept of thread syncronization i.e. crtical section Smile | :)
