sigh - 4th time I've tried to reply....

You would think that it would, but the GetWindow does not distinguish (in my limited testing) between windows, it just gets one that matches it's criteria. So I found myself grabbing windows on the dialog that had nothing to do with the entire sub-dialog I just created....

Not sure this will be entirely helpful given the circumstance. Unsure | :~

However, if the Frame knows of 'A' the you could have Frame tell A to close its child 'B', before 'B' closes it could close any childs it has so on and so forth.

If you want to close the top most window, have you tried CWnd::GetActiveWindow?

long double...

Hi,

Is long double ANSI-stand legal data type? I thought short and long only apply to int?

On VS.Net /w WinXP, the sizeof(long double) returns 8,
on GCC4 /w FC4 Linux, the sizeof(long double) returns 12,
on GCC4 /w MacOS X (G4), the sizeof(long double) returns 16.

Why would every different OS return different values?

Thanks

I believe the standard sets MINIMUM sizes for types. For example, in VC6 at least int and long were the same thing, both were the minimum acceptable size for a long.

I don't know if long double is standard or not, but that's the answer to your other question, anyhow.

I've read the discussion, but I still don't understand why would different OS produces different result.

For example, both my intel-P4-based PC and PowerPC-based MacOS X run GCC 4, and the result on the Linux is 12 and MacOS X is 16. Both are 32-bit processors and 32-bit OS (Macs uses the G4, not G5).

crash on the end of release mode

morning,

this app runs fine on debug mode, but got access violation at the exiting dialog in release, I checked the thread, it was trying to close [CCallsmDbf::~CCallsmDbf]....here is part of the code that causing problem, but I am not sure what need to be fixed, thanks!

CCallsmDbf::CCallsmDbf(char *dbfname, int exclusive)
: CB_DBF_NTX(dbfname, exclusive)
{
if (validDBF())
{
ptrIdxName = m_csIdxFile.GetBuffer( L_tmpnam + 1 );
GetTempFileName( ".", "callsm", 0, ptrIdxName );
index_on( ptrIdxName, "ANI" );
m_csIdxFile.ReleaseBuffer();
top();

BindFieldOrdinals();
}
}

CCallsmDbf::~CCallsmDbf()
{
}

in header file,
protected:
CString m_csIdxFile;
char* ptrIdxName;

Hi,

ptrIdxName = m_csIdxFile.GetBuffer( L_tmpnam + 1 );

This line looks dangerous! L_tmpnam may not be initialized.
which would assign an unpredictable amount of mem. in release mode.
The memory pointed to by ptrIdxName might easily be corrupted by the
"GetTempFileName" call on the next line... the problem might only manifest itself when the class destructor deallocates the memory at object destruction time.

Why not try a simpler way of doing this instead of GetBuffer/ReleaseBuffer like...

TCHAR filename[MAX_PATH];
GetTempFileName( ,,, filename );
m_csIdxFile = filename;

Cheers,

Dave

Thanks. I've tried your suggestion

But it's still crashes at the same spot.

when the access violation message show up, there were two threads [CCallsmDbf::~CCallsmDbf] and [CDialog::EndDialog], I gess the problem could be at the CDialog as well....

and it's not crash every single time of on release mode, every now and then it works......

thanks for your time!

Problem could be still suggested by Dave. I think one or more extra bits are accessed somewhere.
Try to keep track of character pointer used.
use strcpy() wherever needed, and with care

Here is another part of code

thanks for your info, here is another function that from same file, somehow, it's done deifferently.....

{
if (validDBF())
{
char* ptrIdxName = m_csIdxFile.GetBuffer( L_tmpnam + 1 );
GetTempFileName( ".", "favnat", 0, ptrIdxName );
_strupr( ptrIdxName );
memmove( ptrIdxName, ptrIdxName + 2, strlen( ptrIdxName ) - 2 );
*strstr( ptrIdxName, ".TMP" ) = '\0';
index_on( ptrIdxName, "CUST_NUM + LOCATION" );
m_csIdxFile.ReleaseBuffer();
top();

BindFieldOrdinals();
}
}

I am programming a Socket enabled with SSL.I want to get certificate from a store provider.my certificate provider is a file.i downloaded the openssl and installed it.i used a command to generate certifcate request

openssl>req -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout server.key -nodes -days 365 -out server.crt<br />

with this command a certificate request (server.crt) is generated.i opened the server.crt and pasted it contents in Advance option (certificate service) to get the certificate.i got a certificate named as"certnew.cer".i opened the certificate ,there was an option "copy to file".i opted for PKCS#7 Certificates(.P7B) and named it FileStore.A file was generated named as Filestore.p7b

//this my code for certificate store

#define ENCODING_TYPE  (PKCS_7_ASN_ENCODING | X509_ASN_ENCODING)<br />
<br />
HCERTSTORE      m_hMyCertStore;//handle to  certificate     store<br />
<br />
m_hMyCertStore = CertOpenStore(<br />
									     CERT_STORE_PROV_FILENAME_A,// define the store         provider type,here it is a             //file on disk.<br />
									     ENCODING_TYPE,// encoding type for certificate & message<br />
									     NULL,	// choose a default CSR.<br />
									     NULL,    //default flag<br />
								          _T("FileStore.p7b")); //The name of an existing file<br />

i want to know whether my procedure is right to get the certificate from store.because i m getting error when i want

The application I have in mind, has to sit in the background of Windows ( lets say as a Windows Service or a Taskbar app ) and scan for all the web pages that the user downloads and views using any Web Browser. Well this is only part of the application, actually the main thing, to scan for all the web pages the user visits on any browser and then process them for a certain task. So my question is, is it possible ? I mean isnt it the way Spyware and Adware runs ? But I think adware and spyware is browser dependaant and come as a plugin. Well I want it to be browser independent so thats why I suggested running the app in the background as a Windows Service or as a taskbar app.
I tried searching on the web for looking some similar projects but didnt come across any. Could u give me some leads as to how i should achieve this ?
I dont mind the programmin language I get to use. Im okay with .net or pure C++.

maybe konfabulator offer a command line option ( or a preference file ) to start specific widgets when the app. is launched.

or maybe konfabulator contains an dev. API that let you do that.

Thanks.

Only if the printer's device driver provides such information. Otherwise, no. One of my printers writes a number to a .ini file indicating the ink level. The status utility simply reads that file to show the ink level as an image. Kind of cheesy but it works.
