Re: WM_SIZE & WM_MOVE only sent by DefWindowProc (...) ??

15-Feb-02 7:55

You are welcome Smile | :)

Please note that the only information I've got with respect to this issue is the one article I sent to you. So you may want to consider taking precautions before jumping to conclusions. It could be a good idea to have on debug mode some assert(FALSE)s on the processing of WM_SIZE and WM_MOVE, so that if this conclusion proves wrong at least you will know.

Well, i placed something in my code that will warn me if i receive one of the two messages but i sincerly doubt about this.
I also found a doc where they specify that a window will not receive any WM_MOVE/SIZE messages if it processes the WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED and returns 0.

Cheers,

problem with mmsystem.h

starn15-Feb-02 7:10

c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\mmsystem.h(113) : error C2146: syntax error :

missing ';' before identifier 'MMVERSION'

c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\mmsystem.h(113) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found

AND HERE ARE THE LINES OF CODES:

/* general data types */

#ifdef _WIN32
typedef UINT MMVERSION;
#else
typedef UINT VERSION
#endif
typedef UINT MMRESULT; #define _MMRESULT_

Does anybody knows what it can be?
Confused | :confused:

Joaquín M López Muñoz15-Feb-02 7:13

15-Feb-02 7:13

It could be a number of things:

The line
```
typedef UINT VERSION
```
is wrong: it lacks a terminating ;

#defines must be at the beginning of a line, so instead of

typedef UINT MMRESULT; #define _MMRESULT_

it should be

typedef UINT MMRESULT;
#define _MMRESULT_

Is UINT defined (either with a macro or a typedef) prior to the inclusion of mmsystem.h? Try issuing a #include <windos.h> first.

Hope this helps.

thanks a lot for the help,
I tried the three solutions but none of them worked.
Do you have an other idea?

I didn't write this file, it's on the visual C++ CDRom...

It's all very weird. Your code seems fine at first glance. Try the following:

Switch off the precompiled headers option for the project and do a "Rebuild all".
If this fails, please post your stdafx.h (if we go on like this, I'll be able to steal your project ).

Sorry but I found these codes in a tutorial at
http://codeguru.earthweb.com/multimedia/cd_audio.shtml

I don't have a lot of experience with C++
I only know some bases
In fact, I have to make a program that play a CD audio, transorm the datas in a specific norm and send them through Fast ethernet to an other computer...
And I m lost in all these functions and classes...
I m trying to find some codes to play a CD , control a buffer... I know it's going to be hard ...
Do you know any good books on these topics ?

and I don't know how to switch off the precompiler header ....

// stdafx.h : include file for standard system include files,
// or project specific include files that are used frequently, but
// are changed infrequently
//

//#define VC_EXTRALEAN // Exclude rarely-used stuff from Windows headers

#include <afxwin.h> // MFC core and standard components
#include <afxext.h> // MFC extensions
#ifndef _AFX_NO_AFXCMN_SUPPORT
#include <afxcmn.h> // MFC support for Windows 95 Common Controls
#endif // _AFX_NO_AFXCMN_SUPPORT

I found it!

Hey starn, this was tough Smile | :)

Apparently there's a problem with mmsystem.h in VC++ 6.0. Follow this article in Usenet explaining how to solve it.

The guy talks about "preprocesor settings". I guess you won't know where those are (because you didn't know how to switch precompiled headers off either). Select Project->Settings, there you'll find lots of stuff, including the preprocessor settings and the precompiled headers options. Give yourself sometime to get used to the IDE.

Good luck with your project.

I'd try to load the offending project from the URL you provided some messages ago, but on weekends I've got no IDE handy.
Do a search on groups.google.com for "mmsystem.h C2146". Apparently a lot of people have run into the same problem in the past. Try to follow the advice given there. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Good luck!

reading files

I have done a fair chunk of reading and writing from/to files, but I was wondering if there is anyway of not specifying the input buffer's size when you are reading in. For instance, I would like to read in an entire line, but I don't want to read it into a TCHAR x[1000], I want to read it into something more flexible.

how would i do this?
