Are you using VC6? if so then the file pointer used is a 32 bit value, with a limit of 2GB. AFAIK if you are using VC7+ then the file pointer is a 64 bit value.
If you want to get around this limit in VC6 then do not use the MFC classes (which wrap the fopen, fread, etc CRT functions) and use the SDK functions CreateFile, ReadFile etc.

Yes thats it PJ!
I am using VC6.
(I guess its time to shell out for an upgrade!)
Thanks so much for the help

Seriously? I always though that MFC didn't wrap CRT functions, but rather the WIN API directly! The CRT file API's (I don't know about the others) are just a layer on top of the OS's API's, which are CreateFile, ReadFile, etc..
I don't know about the MFC shipped with VC6, but the newer MFC version 8, does wrap the window's API's...

From VC 6.0 MFC Source (FILECORE.CPP Line 111)
Yes it wraps Win32 API, not standard C runtime calls...
BOOL CFile::Open(LPCTSTR lpszFileName, UINT nOpenFlags,<br />
CFileException* pException)<br />
{<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
HANDLE hFile = ::CreateFile(lpszFileName, dwAccess, dwShareMode, &sa,<br />
dwCreateFlag, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);<br />
if (hFile == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)<br />
{<br />
if (pException != NULL)<br />
{<br />
pException->m_lOsError = ::GetLastError();<br />
pException->m_cause =<br />
CFileException::OsErrorToException(pException->m_lOsError);<br />
<br />
<br />
pException->m_strFileName = lpszFileName;<br />
}<br />
return FALSE;<br />
}<br />
m_hFile = (HFILE)hFile;<br />

Just as I expected. It would be just silly for MS to use some portable API that is a layer on top of their own API, instead of their own API.
Thanks for the info!

Well, I DID look at the CFile code. Who knows, maybe the CStdioFile object does something different? Not likely, but this IS MFC ... 
|
|
|
|
|
Generally what I think that this is referring to is that this object *IS* the C run time and behaves the same. In the open it does call CFile::Open:
0:000> u MFC42!CStdioFile::Open
MFC42!CStdioFile::Open:
73e2c96c 8bff mov edi,edi
73e2c96e 55 push ebp
73e2c96f 8bec mov ebp,esp
73e2c971 53 push ebx
73e2c972 8b5d0c mov ebx,[ebp+0xc]
73e2c975 56 push esi
73e2c976 57 push edi
73e2c977 ff7510 push dword ptr [ebp+0x10]
0:000> u
MFC42!CStdioFile::Open+0xe:
73e2c97a 8bc3 mov eax,ebx
73e2c97c 25ffbfffff and eax,0xffffbfff
73e2c981 50 push eax
73e2c982 ff7508 push dword ptr [ebp+0x8]
73e2c985 8bf9 mov edi,ecx
73e2c987 33f6 xor esi,esi
73e2c989 897710 mov [edi+0x10],esi
73e2c98c e8e043fbff call MFC42!CFile::Open (73de0d71)
And that calls CreateFile, however right afterwards they do create a standard handle:
73e2c9db 75d2 jnz MFC42!CStdioFile::Open+0x43 (73e2c9af)
73e2c9dd ebd7 jmp MFC42!CStdioFile::Open+0x4a (73e2c9b6)
73e2c9df c644050c74 mov byte ptr [ebp+eax+0xc],0x74
73e2c9e4 40 inc eax
73e2c9e5 51 push ecx
0:000>
MFC42!CStdioFile::Open+0x7a:
73e2c9e6 ff7704 push dword ptr [edi+0x4]
73e2c9e9 c644050c00 mov byte ptr [ebp+eax+0xc],0x0
73e2c9ee ff150467e773 call dword ptr [MFC42!_imp___open_osfhandle (73e76704)]
73e2c9f4 83f8ff cmp eax,0xffffffff
73e2c9f7 59 pop ecx
73e2c9f8 59 pop ecx
Look, most other functions are wrappers around C runtime, as an example, look here:
0:000> u MFC42!CStdioFile::WriteString
MFC42!CStdioFile::WriteString:
73e2cb01 8bff mov edi,edi
73e2cb03 56 push esi
73e2cb04 8bf1 mov esi,ecx
73e2cb06 ff7610 push dword ptr [esi+0x10] <-- FILE *
73e2cb09 ff74240c push dword ptr [esp+0xc]
73e2cb0d ff151867e773 call dword ptr [MFC42!_imp__fputs (73e76718)]
73e2cb13 83f8ff cmp eax,0xffffffff
In WriteString, fputs is called and it gets the FILE * from the "this" pointer at offset 16. So, CStdioFile calls some standard APIs, some C runtime APIs and it in itself essentially re-implements some of the functionality that would have been done had you really called fopen() in order to create a compatible FILE *.
Read calls fread:
MFC42!CStdioFile::Read:
73e2ca4b 837c240800 cmp dword ptr [esp+0x8],0x0
73e2ca50 56 push esi
73e2ca51 8bf1 mov esi,ecx
73e2ca53 7504 jnz MFC42!CStdioFile::Read+0xe (73e2ca59)
73e2ca55 33c0 xor eax,eax
73e2ca57 eb62 jmp MFC42!CStdioFile::Read+0x70 (73e2cabb)
73e2ca59 55 push ebp
73e2ca5a 57 push edi
0:000> u
MFC42!CStdioFile::Read+0x10:
73e2ca5b ff7610 push dword ptr [esi+0x10] <-- Again, FILE *
73e2ca5e ff742418 push dword ptr [esp+0x18]
73e2ca62 6a01 push 0x1
73e2ca64 ff74241c push dword ptr [esp+0x1c]
73e2ca68 ff151067e773 call dword ptr [MFC42!_imp__fread (73e76710)]
Notice:
CStdioFile::m_pStream
Remarks
The m_pStream data member is the pointer to an open file as returned by the C run-time function fopen. It is NULL if the file has never been opened or has been closed.
In the documentation. While "fopen" may not have been called, they basically implemented fopen themsevles on top of CFile::Open (that calls CreateFile). Some of their APIs then call standard C Runtime and this public data member (most likely the same one I showed in the dissassembly) is exported as a C runtime compatible pointer. So, whether they use the C Runtime internally or not is not the point, the object itself exports the appropriate data structures and behaves idential to the c runtime implementation.

Yes there is a limit. We can normaly ignore those, but we can not ignore the amount of memory we have for storage.
Where are you copying the data to?

Hello,
I am using xmldocument to read/edit an xml file. Along with it, I am using an XmlValidatingReader to validate the data. I have two questions on this subject:
1) Assuming that a document is opened to be edited (and it's valid initially), is it possible to validate changes that are made to it without having to rewrite the current tree to file and then reading it in again?
2) When initially validating a document: if an error occurs, is it possible to get the type of error that occurred in the handler? I mean, for example if an element is missing, or if an element is invalid, or if an attribute is missing... Of course, I would like a way to do this without having to parse and interpret the error message. The reason I would like this feature is so that I could try to 'fix' invalid xml files if I find them.
Question 2 is a bit more important than 1.
Thanks a lot,

Hi,
I'm new to windows programming, and am having problems logging to the application log. In fact I can't seem to create/open a key. I picked up some example code from MSDN and tried to use it, always returns error code 87 - ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER. I've looked at and tried other examples from the web, with the same results. The call below is the first call in main(), my app's name is vsreq2:
wsprintf(szBuf, (LPCWSTR)"SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\EventLog\\Application\\vsreq2");
status = RegCreateKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
szBuf,
0, NULL, REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE,
KEY_WRITE, &secAttr, &hk, &dwDisp);
if (status)
{
printf("Could not create the registry key. Error Code = 0x%x", status);
return FALSE;
}
Thanks for any help!

The first thing that jumps out at me is the cast of an 8-bit string to a 16-bit string.
Drop the cast, and wrap your string literals in the _T("") t-char macro.

Hey thanks, I'm with mYkel.
This has gotten me to my next problem, where the description field of the event
indicates "The description for Event ID [101] cannot be found....". The message
does have my app's name as the source and the correct category/event id numbers.
I have the msgs.dll file in the same directory as my app and made these API calls:
Is the placement of the text string after (LPBYTE) ok?
thanks again
// Set the name of the message file.
if (RegSetValueEx(hk, // subkey handle
(LPCWSTR)"EventMessageFile", // value name
0, // must be zero
REG_EXPAND_SZ, // value type
(LPBYTE)"msgs.dll", // pointer to value data
(DWORD) lstrlen(_T("msgs.dll"))+1)) // length of value data
{
printf("Could not set the event message file.");
RegCloseKey(hk);
return FALSE;
}
// Set the supported event types.
dwData = EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE | EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE |
EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE;
if (RegSetValueEx(hk, // subkey handle
(LPCWSTR)"TypesSupported", // value name

REG_DWORD, // value type
(LPBYTE) &dwData, // pointer to value data

Same problem as before, this time with the value names.
I think you should read some of the articles here on CP about string handling. I strongly recommend http://www.codeproject.com/string/cppstringguide1.asp[^].

Anyone know why when i place a carriage return line feed in a string to be displayed in a control, that the \r\n don't get recognized?
I do something like lpzText = "CODE1 NORMAL\r\n""CODE2 HIGH\r\n"
But when i display this in an edit control or even a tooltip, the \r\n is not recognized and there for i do not get the desired line feed.
|
|
|
|

did you set your edit box to multiline ??

How is that done... Is that done from the control variable ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
in design mode, click on the edit control to have its properties, and searche for one called something like "multiline"...
to accept more than one line, your edit control must have that property engaged...

I think it is possible they only want the \n to be in there.
Also, if you are trying to create a single string, I am not sure why you have two strings there?
Try this instead:
lpzText = "CODE1 NORMAL\nCODE2 HIGH\n";
and see if your results are better.
|
|
|
|
|
It still does not recognize
lpzText = "CODE1 NORMAL\nCODE2 HIGH\n";
I get a square box in place of the \n. I am also using this string in a tool tip and get the same result.
|
|
|
|

Help!!!
What should i do.
|
|
|
|

Edit controls have to be multiline, created with the ES_MULTILINE style, and newlines are the "\r\n".
Tooltips are by default single line only. You have to use a custom tooltip control for multiline tooltips. Do a search on CP for some excellent multiline tooltip controls.

nop, it couldn't.
