Hi All:
This is a newb question for OpenGl but I don't see an OpenGl section so I did what was closest. I have OpenGl ES that I am going to be running on a PocketPc. I'm writing it in C++ and I am sure it has a lot of similarites to the normal OpenGl. Does anyone know how to import models (i.e people, cars, etc.) into an OpenGl environment? Also, how does one do large terrains in an openGl environment?
Sincere regards,
Did I post well? Rate it! Did I post badly? Rate that too!

Hello all,
i've a problem to calling this SIMD(in c++) instruction from the VB6,i've upgrade my visual studio from to SP5.when i'll try to calling this function from vb, the application is shutdown and when i debug this message appear :
" unhandled exception in VB6.EXE(f.dll): 0XC0000005 : Access Violation".
is it the way i call the dll is wrong or i must use another method to calling this function from vb. thanks.
void _stdcall ssetest(float *arr1,float *arr2,float *result,int size)
{
int i;
int loop;
loop=size/4; //long number= 32bit
__m128* Rslt = (__m128*) result;
__m128* a1= (__m128*) arr1;
__m128* a2= (__m128*) arr2;
for(i=0;i

Hello,
How can I convert const char* to LPCTSTR?
I tried to use WideCharToMultiByte so that I could have a LPCWSTR then convert to LPCTSTR but
the value of LPCWSTR(pdbfilename) on watch during breakpoint at line 9 is "???". (see code below)
1 HANDLE
2 fCreate(const char *fname, UInt32 access, UInt32 shared, UInt32 create, UInt32 attrib, Err *r_)
3 {
4 Err r = errNone;
5 HANDLE handle = NULL;
6 LPSTR holder=(LPSTR)fname;
7 LPCWSTR pdbfilename;
8 WideCharToMultiByte(CP_OEMCP, WC_DEFAULTCHAR,pdbfilename, -1,holder,strlen(fname),NULL, NULL);
9 handle = CreateFile(pdbfilename, access, shared, NULL, create, attrib, NULL);
10 if(handle == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
r = ERR_FILE_CREATEOPENFAILED;
11 if(r_ != NULL)
12 *r_ = r;
13 return handle;
14 }
Is there something wrong with my WideCharToMultiByte API call?
Is there other way to convert const char* to LPCTSTR?
Thanks and more power.

I thought LPCTSTR WAS a char * ? Anyhow, the easiest way to convert is to use the _bstr_t class, which is a string class that returns wide and narrow strings automagically.

Hi Christian,
Actually, the function belongs to a library and so the library is restricted to plain C so that it will be portable because I'am developing under Pocket PC environment.
Let me rephrase the question, on EVC4 LPCTSTR is unsigned short*, my first parameter (fname) is const char*, so how can i convert const char* to unsigned short*?
Thanks a lot Christian,

OK, if you want to do it in C, _bstr_t won't help, it's a class. However, it just calls the API function that you're trying to call now, anyhow. You could check it's source to see if it differs from your syntax.

Ok I'll just check the API.
Thanks and Have a nice day.

Have a look at the macros like A2CT, use MSDN "String Conversion Macros".
That was VC6, with VC7 their name has changed a bit (to A2CTEX or something).

Hi everybody,
Since I have no experience in C++ I request your help. I created a C# app that will be installed from a CD-ROM; I used the .NET bootstrapper plug in to install the framework if it hasn't been installed yet.
I need to provide an autorun for the CD-ROM; but... the CD will not only be used for the installation of the program, but also for the normal use of the program. So I need the autorun to check whether the application has been installed, if not than run setup.exe; if yes, don't do any autorun.
Can somebody point me to some freeware program that does this for me, or to some other good resources (keeping in mind that I don't really know C++).
Thanks a lot.

You can add to cd a file autorun.inf
file looks like:
[autorun]
open=edgeofchaos.exe
icon=edgeofchaos.exe,0
You can change, and you can try to write your ouwn program, to check if it is installed, if not then run setup.exe
or just use this autorun maker

ps: Managed c++ has a little difrance than C#, if you program MC++ you can easly turn to C#

let's say i have a class like this:
class a
{
private:
char name[10];
.
.
.
}
how do i give 'name' a value in the constructor?
chen.
|
|
|
|
|
name = {"10 chars long"};
OR
name = new char[10];
::strcpy(&name[0], "value"); // going from memory, args could be the wrong way around
If you use the second method, don't forget to release memory in the destructor. If you use the first, don't change the value of the string, which means it should be const. Overall, you'd do better to use a string class to hold the value, if practical.

If you get the name from the outside, go with this:
<br />
class a( const char* a_name) {<br />
strcpy(name,a_name);
}<br />
However, if you know the name at compile time already, simply hard-code it - gives more speed and security.
<br />
class a {<br />
const char* get_name() const { return "blabla"; }<br />
}<br />

Instead of using a char array, consider a string class:
class a
{
private:
std::string name;
.
.
.
};
And then a constructor may look like:
a::a(const char* yourName) : name(yourName)
{}

There is a possible memory leak
<pre>private: System::Void btnButton_Click(System::Object *sender, System::EventArgs *e)
{
frmTest *frm = new frmTest(); // Create new Form
frm->ShowDialog(this); // Show
}</pre>
and i have defined destructor of that form
<pre>~frmTest
{
MessageBox::Show(S"Destructor Called");
}</pre>
When i run this app, i click button many times, and no destructor called. when i close main form, destructor is called only once.
so i have add:
<pre>delete frm; // To be safe.</pre>
is this a memory leak?
thanks in advance.

No, frm is created on managed heap, which is controlled by GC. In general, with managed code, you should worry more about leaking non-memory resources.

Hai
In my applcation i want to list all machines in the network.
So i used the WNetOpenEnum API .
My code looks like,
[DllImport("Mpr.dll", EntryPoint="WNetOpenEnumA", CallingConvention=CallingConvention::Winapi)]
static ErrorCodes WNetOpenEnum(ResourceScope dwScope, ResourceType dwType, ResourceUsage dwUsage, NETRESOURCE* p, IntPtr &lphEnum);
NETRESOURCE* pRsrc = new NETRESOURCE(); //A managed class
IntPtr handle = IntPtr::Zero;
result = WNetOpenEnum(RESOURCE_GLOBALNET, RESOURCETYPE_DISK, RESOURCEUSAGE_ALL, pRsrc, handle);
But when i run the application got an error
" Can not marshal parameter #4: The type definition of this type has no layout information. "
Whats is the problem.
Plz help

Hello...
I believe you forget to define the StructLayoutAttribute for the paramater NETRESOURCE* p...
In general it'S Sequential...

Hello,
I am trying to build a download accelarator (a program which downloads a file through several connections to increase the speed).
I have created four threads. Each thread downloads the file from diffrent offset and finallly I join al this parts.
The problem is that when I use one thread( without changing the thread's code) it much faster. It like the additional threads are slowing one another.
In each thread I initialize the connection (CInternetSession->CHttpSession) and later in the thread I have put a loop which downloads the files.
The initialization part is in a critical section.
Can anyone tell whats wrong. Did anyone encountered similar problem?
Sincerely yours
Y.R.

I have App.exe which uses Dll.dll, I also add classical Microsoft manifest file App.manifest.exe to enable XP styles for common controls.
Now question how can I disable influence of manifest on Dll.dll
Which means I want that App.exe continue to use
comctl32.dll (ver 6) new one
but
Dll.dll should use
comctl32.dll (ver 5) old one
Load / Unload library - already try not helps
#define/#undefine IE_CONTLOLS - already try doesnt helps
I need to customize body of manifest somehow include or exclude styles in the dependency section
Thanks.

Hi,
I have created a test dll in Fortran that squares an input number.
Then I'm trying to call this dll from C++.NET using the following bit of code:
<br />
#include <iostream><br />
using namespace std;<br />
extern "C" __declspec(dllimport)double square(double X);<br />
<br />
int main(int argc, char* argv[])<br />
{<br />
double a=4;<br />
double asq = square(a);<br />
cout << a << " " << asq << endl;<br />
return 0;<br />
}<br />
<code><br />
<br />
I get the following error:<br />
HelloWorld error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__square referenced in function _main<br />
<br />
I've added MyDll.lib as a reference from the Fortran code but no success. (I'm not able to add MyDll.dll however, is this normal?)<br />
Any ideas please?<br />
Kash

In the C++ .NET Framework you don't import functions from a DLL like you do in Win32; the syntax is different. The correct method is to use the DllImport attribute, which is located in: System::Runtime::InteropServices.
