Re: regsvr32 - C / C++ / MFC Discussion Boards

how do i count the number of messages present in the message queue? is there anyway?

I don't know of any way to obtain such a number. Why do you need it? Given the hundreds of messages that are flying around at any given time, I'd guess the number would be accurate for only a few milliseconds.

Just to know about it.

yea i guessed the same, but i thought there's be a "snapshot" type to get the number of messages in the queue at a given point of time.

anyway..thanks david.

As far as I know, there's no way to know that. Perhaps, if you wrote a kernel mode driver, and it could directly access some internal data structure that stores messages, it may be able to get a count that'd be valid for a few milliseconds, if at all.

got it! in short ,its impossible for me for the moment. need to learn a lot Frown | :(

I *think* GetQueueStatus[^] should do what you want, never heard of it before though - just found it in the MSDN documentation. Smile | :)

Do x.dll and y.dll export the DllRegisterServer() function? What message does regsvr32.exe give you?

DLL LOADED BUT APPLICATION ENTRY NOT FOUND

if this is the case, then how the TOOL registers it?

You did not answer my first question so this is only a theory. Regsvr32.exe does nothing more than call one of two predefined, exported functions within a DLL or OCX file. That does not mean, however, that the DLL or OCX file can't name those exported functions something else. If that is the case, a regsvr32.exee replacement will be needed that calls those functions instead. Make sense?

oops, please excuse me david, how do i see if those predefined functions are available in the DLL?

Excellently does.

Use either Depends or Dumpbin.

Are these automation servers? A DLL doesn't necessarily have to be registered with RegSvr32 in order to work.

hi,
i'd like to try some assmebly instructions inside my MFC application. any assembly specialist here? i just want a small sample of it... just to display a string.

_asm
<code>Please Fill in</code>:-D

thanks.

This is not a trivial example...

~RaGE();

Especially for an MFC application. Using interrupt 0x21 to display a string at a command prompt is easy enough, but not very useful. I can remember back when we used to write directly to video memory. Color was at B800:0000, and monochrome was at B000:0000.

B800:0000, hmmmmm i remeber this number, once i tried to save the content of the screen.it came out well, but i tried in C.

There are plenty of examples on the Web:

nice examples Smile | :)

, can i call these codes simple inside the _asm block? a Cut-n-Paste will work??

Some of them *might* work. Most probably won't, however. Doing simple things like adding numbers can be done via _asm, but calling functions and most things Windows-specific (e.g., messages, GUI) are not trivial.

Vivek, just be aware that, that's 16 bit assembler stuff on that page.
