Use the Registry (preferred) or a configuration file. You can find lots of articles at CodeProject. Search for the word registry.

You can use the windows registry for storing your data. The platform SDK provides a set of functions to access the registry. Search MSDN.

Another way is to store the data in a text file. This is very easy using the MFC class CStdioFile.

i used the following code but it gives assertion failure why?

CStdioFile f;
char buf[] = "test string";

f.WriteString( buf );

You need to open the file before writing to it. Do it this way:

CStdioFile file;
CString lineOfText;

file.Open("C:\\exaplepath\\examplefile.xyz", CFile::modeCreate|CFile::modeReadWrite);

lineOfText="This is the first line";
lineOfText+="\r\n";

file.Writestring(lineOfText);

lineOfText="This is the second line";
lineOfText+="\r\n";

file.Writestring(lineOfText);

file.Close();

You can consider using the Registry to save your configuration data. Proceed as under (with MFC):

1. Use functions such as SetRegistryKey, WriteProfileString (for a string), WriteProfileInt (for int), GetProfileString, GetProfileInt, etc., of the application class for setting and accessing values from the Registry.

2. You can consider the Constructor or InitDialog functions wherein the stored values can be retrieved from Registry and displayed in the Configuration dialogbox.

3. Use OnOK (or whatever other button-event-handlers) to save the changed configuation data to registry.

4. Use these stored values appropriately in the code to change your program response. For example, use PreCreateWindow function of the mainframe class to change the position or size of main window using stored configuration data.

Ashok Dhamija

UniCode To Ansi Conversion problem

fjlv200514-Sep-05 23:24

14-Sep-05 23:24

I have a problem with conversion, when i ran the code below, it gives me the error :
Error : ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER (refer to trace code below).. Whats wrong with my code?

By the way Im using Embedded Visual 3, where the default setting of my Project is Unicode...
I have my own CSoString which is the same with CString but in plain C format ANSI and have some additional features in it. I want to convert first from unicode to ansi so that the converted ansi will be passed to CSoString like for ex.
CSoString mystring;
mystring.Copy(char* here); // where the char* is the converted Unicode to ANSI.

but before i copy it, i have to fix the problem with conversion....

Pls. see code below..

Thanks and More pOwer.

------------------------------------------- Code ----------------------------------------

CString m_wordSearchText; // this variable is a cstring of edit box.
LPSTR hold=0;
LPSTR hold2=0;
int len=WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP,0,(LPCWSTR)m_wordSearchText,-1,hold,0,NULL,NULL);
if (len==0)
{
DWORD lerror=GetLastError();
switch(lerror)
{
case ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER :
{
TRACE(_T("ErrorLen : ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER\n")); break;
}
case ERROR_INVALID_FLAGS :
{
TRACE(_T("ErrorLen : ERROR_INVALID_FLAGS\n")); break;
}
case ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER :

else

You didn't initialize the Ansi string, it points to NULL.

Just prior to the second WideChar call, insert the code:

<br />
hold = new char [len + 1];<br />
WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP,0,(LPCWSTR)m_wordSearchText,len,hold,len,NULL,NULL);<br />
hold[len] = '\0';<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
delete [] hold;<br />
<br />

I usually use a CStringA object instead of allocating with new, not sure if it's part of Embedded Visual 3.

Simulate post at webpage

Daniel Strigl14-Sep-05 22:10

Daniel Strigl

14-Sep-05 22:10

I want to simulate an input and post into a web page and than download the web page that is opened after the correct input! The web page exists of an user input form with userid and password, after input the correct data and pressing the submit button another web page will be opened.

I have tried to download the web page with the following code (I am using the CAmHttpSocket class at http://www.codeproject.com/internet/amhttputils.asp):

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
CAmHttpSocket http;

char* p = "userid=xxx&pwd=xxx";

char* s = http.GetPage(
_T("https://orawww.uibk.ac.at/public_prod/owa/pk205.frame_lv_termine_lzk?termin_id_in=3678"),
true, p, strlen(p));

int i = http.GetPageStatusCode();

printf("%s\n", s);

printf("%d\n", i);

return 0;
}

My problem is that I don't know how to simulate the input and pressing the submit button!

How can I pass the userid and the possword?

Regards,
Daniel.

Renaming Tree Nodes

laiju14-Sep-05 20:41

laiju

14-Sep-05 20:41

I have used PreTranslate message to capture the renaming of Tree Nodes.
I am capturing the VK_RETURN key to complete the renaming of tree nodes.
But the tree control can also complete the rename operation by clicking the mouse anywhere on the tree control after typing the new string for the folder.
I dont want the rename to take place by mouse click. I know how to revert the old string of the tree node .But I dont know what event completed the rename operation .Like if i can differentiate the end of rename operation by mouse or by keyboard i can block the mouse rename operation.
I tried to do the following filter .

void CTreeCtrlBar::OnTvnEndlabeleditTree1(NMHDR *pNMHDR, LRESULT *pResult)
{
NM_TREEVIEW* pNMTreeView = (NM_TREEVIEW*)pNMHDR;
if (pNMTreeView->action == TVC_BYKEYBOARD)
AfxMessageBox("End by ENTER Key");
else if (pNMTreeView->action == TVC_BYMOUSE)
AfxMessageBox("End by mouse click");

**************************************************************************
But always the condition pNMTreeView->action == TVC_BYMOUSE gets satisfied
even when I pressed ENTER key to complete the rename operation.
Any suggestions please.

How to wait for thread & if no response within time abort it

karmendra_js14-Sep-05 19:32

14-Sep-05 19:32

Hello,

I am new to VC++ and this forum too. i want to know how can I perform following task in VC++ 6 using MFC.

I am writing host application and device drivers for a USB HID Device. I have a situation here, Whenever i call writreport function to write data to the USB HID device it has to Acknowledge. But buy any chance if device do not send back a response, the host software hangs( doesn't respond to user input).

I thought of a solution for this, I will call the write report function in a thread and let thread wait for the ack from device. mean while the host application will wait for thread to complete for a specified time and if thread does not respond with in time then it(host) should shutdown the thread.

Now I need your help here, the problem is I donot know how to implement it.( I just konw how to create a thread but have no idea how to wait for sometime and if no response exit the thread).

thanks a lot for your time to read this.
and thnaks for your help if you do so

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
