Yes, I am doubtful if I can use here Msgwaitformultipleobjects or not....
I wasn't able to implement this:
pTouch->Recalibrate();
HWND hWnd = FindWindow(...);
DWORD RecalProcID;
DWORD RecalThreadID = GetWindowThreadProcessId( hWnd, &ProcID );
DWORD MyProcID = GetCurrentProcessId();
DWORD MyThreadID = GetCurrentThreadId();
HANDLE hRecalThread = OpenThread( SYNCHRONIZE, FALSE, RecalThreadID );
This is giving me errors for OpenThread.
I am sending you my code again and please let me know how to proceed further to detect that calibration window.
Here's the code:
// TSCalibrate.cpp : Defines the entry point for the application.
//
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "CWin32AbsPointAPI.h"
void main ()
{
}
int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)
{
CTouchScreenAPI* pTouch;
HWND hCalWin;
DWORD SYNCRONIZE;
DWORD procId;
HANDLE hProcess;
DWORD dwWaitResult;
pTouch = CTouchScreenAPI::Create();
if (pTouch)
{
if (pTouch->Init())
pTouch->Recalibrate(FALSE);
else
MessageBox(NULL, "Created touchscreen interface OK, but Init() failed", "Info", MB_OK);
HWND hCalWin = ::FindWindow(pszABSPOINT_WND_CLASS_NAME, NULL);
GetWindowThreadProcessId(hCalWin, &procId); // retrieves the identifier of the thread that created this window.
hProcess = OpenProcess(SYNCHRONIZE, FALSE, procId);//returns a handle to an existing process object
while( true )
{
if( ! IsWindow(hCalWin) )
break; // window is gone;
// Sleep( 1000); // wait a second for window to close
};
while (1)
{
dwWaitResult = MsgWaitForMultipleObjects(1, &hProcess, FALSE, 30*1000, QS_ALLINPUT);
if (dwWaitResult == WAIT_OBJECT_0 + 1)
{
MSG xMsg;
while (PeekMessage(&xMsg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE))
{
if (xMsg.message == WM_QUIT)
return 1;
TranslateMessage(&xMsg);
DispatchMessage(&xMsg);
}// end of PeekMessage while loop.
}
else if (dwWaitResult == WAIT_TIMEOUT)
{
SendMessage(hCalWin, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0);
//TerminateProcess(hProcess, 0);
break;
}
else dwWaitResult == WAIT_OBJECT_0;
{
//Calibration process completed;
break;
}
}
}
else
{
MessageBox(NULL, "Unable to get pointer to Touchscreen interface", "Info", MB_OK);
}
return 0;
}
Thanks
Wating for reply

I was forgetting that OpenThread is available only for Windows 2000 and up. What operating system is this running on? If this is on 2000 and up, then you can enable those functions by adding:
#define WINVER 0x0501
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501
before including the Windows header files.
In any case you don't need the OpenThread call and its wait loop just to be able to step through the first few lines in order to determine what threads are created.
What does Recalibrate return? TRUE/FALSE or something else?

I have windows XP.....But its still giving me errors with OpenProcess.
Recalibrate function is returning False....

Hi,
What if I use SetForegroundWindow(hCalWin);
DWORD AllowSetForegroundWindow(procId);
OR
AnyPopup();
When I execute and type in the file name on command window, it starts doing calibration returning the cursor to next line, that means it is't able to detect it.
You said there are other methods for it. Let me know. Please help.
Thanks

AnyPopup is an archaic function. I don't see at the moment how SetForegroundWindow, etc. would help you.
I need more information about what the calibration process is doing. What is the result from the following code:
pTouch->Recalibrate();
HWND hRecalWnd = FindWindow(...);
DWORD RecalProcID = 0;
DWORD RecalThreadID = GetWindowThreadProcessId( hRecalWnd, &RecalProcID );
char MsgText[1024];
DWORD CurProcID = GetCurrentProcessId();
DWORD CurThreadID = GetCurrentThreadId();
sprintf( MsgText, "HWND = %p\nValid = %s\nRecalProcID = %x\nRecalThreadID = %x\nCurProcID = %x\nCurThreadID = %x",
hRecalWnd, IsWindow(hRecalWnd) ? "Yes" : "No",
RecalProcID, RecalThreadID, CurProcID, CurThreadID );
MessageBox( NULL, MsgText, "Test", MB_OK );
|
|
|
|

The code is doing calibration and doesn't shows anything. Its running the same way as earlier code was running.
Should I send you all the files again?
Thanks

hi,
i am creating a FTP application in which i have used a progress bar for showing the status of the download. for doing this i used the CFtpConnection::OpenFile() method so that i will read the data in small number of bytes and then display the status. the problem here is that when i try to open the file using this method the return value which should be in the form of a CInternetFile is being returned as a null value. hence i am not able to read the file and there is an excepetion
the syntax i have used is as follows:
the completePath is a CString and contains the path as ftp://homepc/test.txt
i have used IIS to create a ftp site and stored some text files as well as other file in the ftp root directory
try
{
srcFile = pftp->OpenFile(completePath, GENERIC_READ,
INTERNET_FLAG_TRANSFER_BINARY, 1);
}
catch(CInternetException *IE)
{
display the exception
}
when i debugged the program i found out that the srcFile had nothing in it i.e it was NULL with some "?????" in the watch window. can anyone tell me why am i getting this problem or is there any other way to use the progress bar?

Do you have an alias for homepc set to 127.0.0.1 on your development machine? Have you checked the permissions of the file on the FTP server? Have you checked that the FTP server allows anonymous access (assuming you are not using a username and password) ?
HTH.

Hi,
I want to know is there any direct method in C to remove all the spaces in a string.
Thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
Sure. Several ways exist. One way looks like:
char str[] = "This string has spaces";
int x, y;
for (x = 0, y = 0; str[x] != '\0'; x++)
{
if (' ' != str[x])
{
str[y] = str[x];
y++;
}
}
str[y] = '\0';

Surely:
str[y++] = str[x];
is a bit more efficient

Are you sure? It may be in theory, but in practice, the compiler will most likely optimize both versions of the source code into exactly the same object code.
I made a simple test with the following code:
#pragma auto_inline(off)
void Test(int x, int y, char* str)
{
str[y] = str[x];
y++;
}
void Test2(int x, int y, char* str)
{
str[y++] = str[x];
}
I wrote each of these functions in separate source files, and called each of them from a function in a third file.
In a Release build, with the default optimizations, the compiler not only detected they were the same thing, but in fact removed Test2 entirely, and changed the call to it, making it call Test instead.
This was the dissambly for Test()
void Test(int x, int y, char* str)
{
str[y] = str[x];
004016C0 mov eax,dword ptr [esp+0Ch]
004016C4 mov ecx,dword ptr [esp+4]
004016C8 mov dl,byte ptr [ecx+eax]
004016CB mov ecx,dword ptr [esp+8]
004016CF mov byte ptr [ecx+eax],dl
y++;
}
004016D2 ret
[Update]
After submitting this post I realized that I should have make the y parameter a reference:
void Test(int x, int& y, char* str)
{
str[y] = str[x];
y++;
}
In the previous version, it didn't make sense to increment y, because that increment won't be seen outside of the function. Of course, the compiler spotted this and didn't even bothered to generate code for it.
After the modifications, the results were exactly the same: Test2 was not generated, and Test was called instead. The only change was the generated code for Test
void Test(int x, int& y, char* str)
{
str[y] = str[x];
004016D0 mov eax,dword ptr [esp+8]
004016D4 mov ecx,dword ptr [esp+0Ch]
004016D8 mov edx,dword ptr [eax]
004016DA push ebx
004016DB push esi
004016DC mov esi,dword ptr [esp+0Ch]
004016E0 mov bl,byte ptr [esi+ecx]
004016E3 mov byte ptr [ecx+edx],bl
y++;
004016E6 add dword ptr [eax],1
004016E9 pop esi
004016EA pop ebx
}
004016EB ret
[End of Update]
In general, focusing on optimizing that kind of details in the source code is a waste of time, and in some cases it may even penalize code clarity for no real benefit.

It must have worked okay, cause all the spaces are gone.

Looks like MS isn't going to update this anymore. What are the other available options?

Where are you adding this row? If it's in a dialog it has to be not before OnInitDialog.

I mainly use mc++ but can use standard c++ if needed. I am simply trying to get a consol to open and then open the cmd.exe process withing the consol window. I can only seem to open the consols in separate windows. I just need to send a string to the cmd.exe and have it execute the string and the prompt. Any suggestions? I have done multipal searches but they havent really helped. Thanks in advance.

What are you trying to do at the command prompt? Perhaps there is a better way.

You could do like this:
1. Create a console which you attach to the process using AttachConsole[^]
2. Run the commandline by passing it to CreateProcess[^] and give it your stdout handle which you can obtain from the GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE) function.
That should execute the commandline and output its output to the console window you created... But it wont give you a promt!
I hope I've given you some ideas...

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a go. Looks like it will work well. Thanks. A friend of mine wants to play an old dos game that he just found in an old pile of software. It will not run correctly under XP. I located a file that fixes it but it needs to be loaded via cmd prompt and then the game must be launched via cmd prompt. It's easy to do manualy i just wanted to make a single exe that he could click and launch everything needed to run the game.

Ehm,...
Have you tried using a .bat file?
Or a regular shortcut?

Regular shortcut does not seem to work. Didn't try at .bat file. I am unfamiliar with .bat. Could you point me to a good resource? Thnaks
