MFC Dialog called dynamically

I jus opened a few icm files. They are not text files. They contain binary data and the postition of the description kept changing file to file, so did the file size. I suggest that you do a search to figure out the icm internal structure.

I have some code for this that I d/led online somewhere, but it's at work. I'll post the link when I get back to the office on Monday.

Yeah I know, get a VPN right? Smile | :)

I have a need to do the following item and could use some help setting it up. I have a basic MFC application running that includes a prebuilt MFC dialog derived class for allowing the user to input data. this all works fine. I need, however, to allow the user to create their own MFC based dialog box, and then allow them to call that dialog box at runtime without the primary application being aware of the dialogs design. So what I have done is this...

in main app, when i select menu item 'test' it looks for a dll named 'testing.dll', and if it finds it, then it loads the dll, finds a function called Create() and attempts to run it. this works fine.

in the create() function, it is a simple test for now.

char gString[255] = "";
void Create()
{
CMyDialog d;
if (d,DoModal() == IDOK)
strcpy(gString,"everything worked fine");
}

all of the exporting works fine, it does loading the dll, finding the create function, retrieving the gString variable etc... the only thing that doesnt work as expected, is in the DoModal() call of the dialog class. the dialogbox appears, and then the entire program crashes. This doesnt happen if i create a simple dialog box that is not CDialog derived.

Am I missing something on MFC? is there an issue with trversing a dll boundary with the MFC.

thanks in advance for any info.

This won't work.
You have not associated a dialog resource. Without doing that DoModal() will fail.

sorry but i am not sure what you mean exactly.
In the dll I created, there is a class definition of an MFC CDialog derived class. I should have written this from home, I will post my code when i get there. but the class 'should' be all inclusive, as it runs fine in a native MFC application. anyhow, when i get the code posted maybe my question will make more sense Smile | :)

Oh!
I apologize for misinterpreting your question.
Yes, please post a little more code, so that it might be easier to locate the problem.

Is testing.dll an 'extension dll'? If you're creating a dll which uses MFC, you have three options - DLL using static MFC, 'regular' DLL using MFC in DLL and 'extension' DLL which shares MFC data with your .exe file and with other 'extension' dlls.

The Problem is --Where and How to Delete the created objects with "new" Operator

Please mark the palce and solution..
i tried with somany ways but i am getting "Heap assertion"

and in Debugging mode it is showing MemoryLeak Detected
as follows:

Detected memory leaks!
Dumping objects ->
{172} normal block at 0x002F5F88, 500 bytes long.
Data: <d:\projects\dump> 44 3A 5C 50 72 6F 6A 65 63 74 73 5C 44 75 6D 70

and also i am getting the
First-chance exception in MyApp.exe (KERNEL32.DLL): 0x000006B5: (no name).

please give me the solution
I am very much worring about these problems please please....

This is Mycode:

I am declaring structures as follows:

1.For Database entries:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

typedef struct{
char strName[MAX_PATH];
int nNumber;
int nCode;

}DB_DATA;

2:For Daily entries:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

typedef struct{
char strName[MAX_PATH];
int nNumber;
int nCode;

}DAILY_DATA;

Now i am using CTypedPtrList as follows:

1.For Database:
===============

typedef CTypedPtrList<cptrlist,db_data*> DB_DATA_LIST;
DB_DATA_LIST m_lstDbData;

2.For Initial List:
==================
typedef CTypedPtrList<cptrlist,daily_data*> INITIAL_LIST;
INITIAL_LIST m_InitialList;

3.For Priority List:
====================

typedef CTypedPtrList<cptrlist,daily_data*> PRIORITY_LIST;
PRIORITY_LIST m_PriorityList;

Initially i am getting all the data from database and store it in "m_lstDbData"
as follows:
############

while (EndOfFile)
{

DB_DATA * dbdata=new DB_DATA;

strcpy(dbdata->sName,rs.sName);
dbdata->nNumber=rs.nNumber;
dbdata->nCode=rs.nCode;

m_lstDbData.AddTail(dbdata);
MoveNext();

}

Preparing the InitialList as follows:
`````````````````````````````````````
Now i am checking the Dialy Register(one Text file contains record wise data) if
Daily Register values mactched with Database values then stored this values into InitialList.

do
{

POSITION nPos=m_lstDbData.GetHeadPosition();
for(int nPass=0;nPass<m_lstdbdata.getcount();++npass)
{=""
="" db_data="" *="" tempdbdata="new" db_data;="" if(dialyreg="" ncode="=tempDbdata-">nCode)
{
DAILY_DATA * tempDailyData=new DAILY_DATA;
strcpy(tempDailyData->sFileName,str);
tempDailyData->nNumber=tempDbdata->nNumber;
tempDailyData->nCode=tempDbdata->nCode;
InitialList.AddTail(tempDailyData);

}//end if(DialrRegCode==tempDbdata->nCode)
m_lstDbData.GetNext(nPos);
}//end for(int nPass=0;nPass<m_lstdbdata.getcount();++npass)

="" }while(endof="" daily="" reg);="" this="" is="" do="" while="" loop=""

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<="">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Next I am preparing PriorityList according the nCode(assending):
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
while(!InitialList.IsEmpty())
{

POSITION nPos=InitialList.GetHeadPosition();

DAILY_DATA * TempHeadPosData=new DAILY_DATA;
TempHeadPosData=InitialList.GetAt(nPos);//Head Position Priority
nStuctPos=InitialList.Find(TempHeadPosData);
nHPosCode=TempHeadPosData->nCode;
for(int nIndex=0;nIndex<initiallist.getcount();nindex++)
{
="" daily_data="" *="" tempnextposdata="new" daily_data;
="" nnextposcode="TempNextPosData-">nCode;
if(nHPosCode>nNextPosCode)
{
nStuctPos=InitialList.Find(TempNextPosData);
int nTempHold=nHPosCode;
nHPosCode=nNextPosCode;
nNextPosCode=nHPosCode;

}//end if(nHPosCode>nNextPosCode)
else
{
if(nHPosCode==nNextPosCode)
{
//here i am doing somethine
}//end if(nHPosCode==NextPosPriority)

}//end else
}//end for(int nIndex=0;nIndex<initiallist.getcount();nindex++)

="" daily_data="" *="" tempnewdata="new" daily_data;
=""
="" prioritylist.addtail(tempnewdata);
="" initiallist.removeat(nstuctpos);
="" }="" end="" while(!initiallist.isempty())

finally="" i="" am="" getting="" the="" data="" from="" prioritylist="" and="" send="" it="" to="" mydll(mydll="" do="" update="" database)=""
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
while(!prioritylist.isempty())
="" {

="" position="" pos="PriorityList.GetHeadPosition();
" filedata="new" strtemp.format("%s",filedata-="">szName);

nCode=filedata->nCode;

if(nCode>=1)
{
//call MyDll
PriorityList.RemoveAt(Pos);

}//end if(nCode>=1)
else
{
PriorityList.RemoveAt(Pos);
}
strTempPath=strPath;

Deriving classes thru ClassWizard?

Maverick1-Mar-02 21:42

Maverick

1-Mar-02 21:42

How do I add a class thru classwizard and derive it from CWnd... so I can also get Windows message handlers....

What i'm doing is i add it through the Inser->New Class menu in Visual C++ and enter Generic CWnd as Base Class... Then i manuall edit the header file of my class, replace a generic Cwnd to another base class (i.e. public MyClass, public BaseClass)... if my base class is some class that is inherited from CWnd, which means it has windows message handlers... But, I cannot see my new dervived class in ClassWizard....

What i want to do is i want to appear my new derived class to classWizard......

I think you have to add those files to your project,also if you use classwizard,you can find add new class button there.

Try to delete .clw file - ClassWizard will regenerate the file next time you invoke it; changes should be visible.

So if I derived a class from another class that inherits from a CWnd, my derived class would be visible in the CLASSWIZARD??

Problem in Hijri date in Win2000 !

Hi all,
I'm writting a program on Win2000 OS.
I have a strange problem in my program, it is about getting Hijri date from OS.
In first i must tell you something about Hijri calendars.
For example today is 2002/02/03 (yyyy/dd/mm) in English calendars ...
Today is 1422/12/17 (yyyy/mm/dd) in Arabic calendars ...
And i must tell you that some Arabic calendars have some difference with togethers ...
For example, probably Windows show you 1422/12/18 !!!
For solving this, Microsoft predicted a tools in Ragional Options which called Adjust Hijri date to: ......
In this list you can solve a few problems ...
In this list you can see:

1422/12/15
1422/12/16
1422/12/17 <--- right date !
1422/12/18
1422/12/19
1422/12/20

Well, first i changed my caledar to Hijri Calendar from Regional Options.
and i solved the problem in Hijri date (by Adjust Hijri date to: ......).
Now, my computer show right Hijri date.

Let me tell you about my source code.

I'm using of this code for getting Hijri date:

CString GetHijriDate()
{

// This function uses for converting English date to Hijri date !

SYSTEMTIME st;
GetLocalTime(&st);

DATE dt;
SystemTimeToVariantTime(&st, &dt);

BSTR bsValue;
VarBstrFromDate(dt, NULL, VAR_CALENDAR_HIJRI | VAR_DATEVALUEONLY, &bsValue);

CString strResult(bsValue);
return strResult;
}

But unfortunly, my program return 1422/12/18 still !!!!!
That must return 1422/12/17 Frown | :(

What is the wrong ?!
Is there any other way for getting right Hijri date ?

Help me, please Frown | :(
