The application that you have developed and compiled in kiel, does it work in some emulator or a standalone application.

Hi there,

How can i make a Brush with default window color ?!

I just tried below code, but it doesn't work Frown | :(

:

HBRUSH hBrush = ::GetSysColorBrush( COLOR_WINDOW );

When i use below code to make the brush (with XP default window color), it just works fine (as u see, the i passed the color HANDY (!!), i'm looking for code that make that automatically. ) Confused | :confused:

:

HBRUSH hBrush = CreateSolidBrush( RGB( 236, 233, 210 ) );

I want to use the brush for painting a Static Control (Custom control) background ... (in CtlColor function, ON_WM_CTLCOLOR_REFLECT() msg)

Please help Smile | :)

Regards,
Hadi

The best way to grab a list of all the ip addresses attached to your local system is using the IPHelper[^] library. You'll need to include the IPHlpApi.h and winsock2.h header files, then add iphlpapi.lib and ws2_32.lib to your list of import libraries.

MIB_IPADDRTABLE  *pIPAddrTable = NULL;
DWORD            dwSize = 0;
DWORD            dwRetVal = 0;
	
if (GetIpAddrTable(pIPAddrTable, &dwSize, 0) != ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER )
{
	printf( "Error getting buffer size." );
}
else
{
	pIPAddrTable = ( MIB_IPADDRTABLE * ) malloc ( dwSize );
	
	if ( (dwRetVal = GetIpAddrTable( pIPAddrTable, & dwSize, 0 ) ) != NO_ERROR )
	{
		printf("GetIpAddrTable failed.\n");
	}
	
	for( int i = 0; i < pIPAddrTable->dwNumEntries; i ++ )
	{
		in_addr add;
		in_addr subnet;
	
		ZeroMemory( & add, sizeof( in_addr ) );
		ZeroMemory( & subnet, sizeof( in_addr ) );
		add.S_un.S_addr = pIPAddrTable->table[ i ].dwAddr;
		subnet.S_un.S_addr = pIPAddrTable->table[i].dwMask;
	
		printf("IP Address:         %s\n", inet_ntoa( add ) );
		printf("IP Mask:            %s\n\n", inet_ntoa( subnet ) );
	}
	
	free( pIPAddrTable );
}

Hi,

This works for me,

        CString                 sLocalIp;<br />
	HOSTENT			*hs			= NULL;<br />
	UCHAR			ch[4]		= {0};<br />
	CHAR			szHostName[50]={0};<br />
<br />
	// get name of machine<br />
	if ( SOCKET_ERROR == ::gethostname((LPSTR)(LPCTSTR)szHostName, 50) )<br />
	{<br />
		return GetLastError();<br />
	}<br />
<br />
<br />
	hs = gethostbyname((LPSTR)(LPCTSTR)szHostName); <br />
<br />
	if ( hs == NULL )<br />
	{<br />
		return GetLastError();<br />
	}<br />
<br />
<br />
	// h_addr contains ip address<br />
	memcpy(ch, hs->h_addr,4); <br />
<br />
	// form string		<br />
	sLocalIp.Format("%d.%d.%d.%d", ch[0], ch[1], ch[2], ch[3]);

Hope this is also correct method.(((??)))

The problem with that method is that it will only pullback one IP, the question was how do you retrieve the IP address for my local computer, it's quite possible to have several NIC's all with several IP addresses. The server sitting under my desk has 3 different IP's for instance.

But yeah, your way does work aswell Smile | :)

Open a command window.
go to Start->Run, type in "cmd" and click OK
In Command window type in "ipconfig" click ENTER key
You can see the IP address here.

How do I declare global variable?

Toubou31-Dec-05 23:42

Hi,
I got 3 files, main.cpp, aaa.h, aaa.cpp
+ aaa.h is blank

+ in aaa.cpp

<br />
#include "aaa.h"<br />
static float asd;<br />

+ in main.cpp

<br />
#include "aaa.h"<br />
int main(){<br />
asd=1;<br />
return 0;<br />
}<br />

I do this and compiler said asd is undefined in main.cpp Frown | :(

Have a look at the extern keyword:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0603949d.aspx[^]

_outp(0x64, 0xAD);
and
__asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, al
do the same... but what do they do??
(doesn't work on NT)

I change static float asd; to extern float asd; but it still doesn't work, I did something wrong?

Re: How do I declare global variable?

Dominik Reichl1-Jan-06 1:43

Dominik Reichl

You need to declare the variable normally in one file and in all other files where you need access to it you need to declare it exactly the same, just with the extern keyword in front of it.

In aaa.cpp, declare:
float asd = 0.0f;

In main.cpp, declare:
extern float asd;

Best regards

Using static as the opposite of extern is deprecated. Anonymous namespaces are now the preferred mechanism for achieving this effect. ie.

namespace
{
	int a; // a is local to this translation unit.
}

I believe this change was made because the extern keyword was overloaded too much (had too many meanings).

There's a downside to this though. Eventhough you put the variable into an anonymous namespace, the name will still be around in the exported symboltable, although mangled to ensure uniqueness. At least that's how I understood an article (I think it was one of Sutter's). One can only hope that static library archivers and DLL linkers will remove the anonymous symbol table entries from the final symbol table(s). God knows what happens if there's a name collision.
