When you say "on-screen", you are referring to the DeskTop? If so, you will need to create an invisible window with your visible text overlapping the DeskTop. Windows is a graphic based operating system that also allows text-based consoles to appear in graphic-based windows.

I have this code that reads a registry setting that contains a string "BLUE BROWN 3ZET"
************************************************************************
// TODO: Place code here.
CRegistry reg;
char cbBuffer[50];
reg.Open(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,"SYSTEM\\MyRegistry\\settings");
reg.ReadString("Settings",cbBuffer, 50);
MessageBox(NULL,cbBuffer,"system status",MB_OK | MB_ICONWARNING);
**************************************************************************
The code displays the entire string in a message box.
how can I search if the string "3ZET" exist so I can display a messagebox accordingly.
MessageBox(NULL,"3ZET does not exist","system status",MB_OK | MB_ICONWARNING);
or
MessageBox(NULL,"3ZET exist","system status",MB_OK | MB_ICONWARNING);
any help will be greatly appreciated

Try using the CString class and use its 'Find' method to search for the string.
For details go through MSDN

I want to keep this app as a non-MFC.
|
|
|
|
|
Try this function:
int Find(char *Src, char *txtSearch)
{
int chkPos = 0;
int chkLen = strLen(txtSearch);
if (chkLen == 0) return -1;
for(int i=0;i

// TODO: Place code here.
std::fstream fin, fout;
CRegistry reg;
char cbBuffer[50];
reg.Open(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,"SYSTEM\\MyRegistry\\settings");
reg.ReadString("Settings",cbBuffer, 50);
//call the Find function
char * txtSearch="3GB";
Find(cbBuffer,txtSearch);
//MessageBox(NULL,result,"system status",MB_OK | MB_ICONWARNING);
return 0;
}
int Find(char *Src, char *txtSearch)
{
int chkPos = 0;
int chkLen = strLen(txtSearch);
if (chkLen == 0) return -1;
for(int i=0;i
{
if(Src[i] == txtSearch[chkPos])
chkPos++;
else
{
i-=chkPos;
chkPos=0;
}
if(chkPos==chkLen)
return (i-chkLen+1);
}
return -1;
}

Some of your code got truncated because of the use of greater than and less than characters. I think you can fix that if you use the pre or code tags (can't remember which).
Anyhow, if you are trying to use strlen, you need to lowercase the L. Yours is strLen. Next, I would really suggest that you use the Standard Template Library instead of trying to manipulate strings yourself. There's rarely a case when you need to do that yourself these days. The string class provided in the STL has a find method in it which looks like it'll do exactly what you need. It's pretty simple to use. Here is a link that will show you how to use it:

hi there,
wanted a little help regarding using VB classes in C++ code.
i wrote a class definition in VB which needs to be extended in C++.
for which i wrote the class definition in VB as an ActiveX dll , which in turn resulted in a COM dll. i used the type definition of the dll to get the idl file, which i used with the MIDL tool to get the header and cpp file to be used in C++. i included the files in my c++project. and defined the interface pointer to the generated class definition using the CoCreateInstance method and used the pointer to call the methods defined in generated header file.
but sometimes the code works sometimes it doesnt. the code sometimes crashes and the error comes up as VB error code '91' .........
why does this happen ?? i think it is the versioning problem of the VB COM module. how do i avoid it ?? and ensure that my code always works???
what i really want is to somehow create a method which accepts class objects and also returns the same.
i had one more query abt how to write explicit constructors in VB?
i wanted to have 2 constructors in the VB class one which takes in parameters to initialize the private member variables, and the other which doesnt but somehow VB isnt able to distinguish between the methods and returns error. so i had to rename the methods differently.
is there any better method to acheive my requirement??
could anyone of you help me out ?????
thanx in advance!!!!!!
i am a software developer .

I am assuming you are talking about VB6 and native C++. If so, you are posting in the wrong area.
I believe error code 91 results from a VB object variable not actually "set" to an active object. If you update a COM object, you must unregister the old one and register the new version. Also, your C++ code must reference the new version also! However, I think you can keep the old version's GUID with your new version if you set it before compiling. I haven't programmed with VB since 1999 and my memory of it is failing.

HI every1,
Im new To MC++ and Im using Visual Studio 2005 express. I was wondering if anyone can please tell me how begin a drawing methods on a image (eg Jpeg). there is alot of code out there in C++/C# etc but Im finding it hard to relate it to MC++. I would like some advise on how to DrawLine, DrawRect,DrawCircle etc on a image based on the mouse Event Handler (therefore no predefined set coordinates). The user can draw what ever they select. I know how to write the methods with set coordinates!
Can someone please supply a comment/advise/code ???
Thanks
Jonno

Most likely, you want to use GDI+ for your graphics but you are not sure about how to translate example code in C# or VB. If you need help with C++/CLI programming, there is only one book currently available: Pro Visual C++/CLI and the .NET 2.0 Platform by Stephen R. G. Fraser, ISBN: 1-59059-640-4. This author also published a book for MC++ too: Managed C++ and .NET Development, ISBN (pbk): 1-59059-033-3. He has a chapter on how to create graphics using GDI+. Unfortunately, information on C++/CLI or MC++ is scattered and sparse as compared to C# and VB.

Hi George,
Yeh thanks for ur advise. Ill need to get the book then , hopefully my unversity library has it. Im sure I can find some electronic copy out there on thee net for it.
I do need to use GDI+, its just MC++ thats gettin me the problems.
thanks for your comments
regards

I think you can get the e-book from Apress for about half the price of the paperback. You can also download the C++/CLI Language specification which is very helpful.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeh you can D/L the soucre code from the examples in the book. The Appress.com site like u mentioned. Ill gotta keep searchin throught the site, it seems pretty helpful.
cheers

I just started moving to C++ a couple weeks ago, and have run into an issue I've not been able to Google an answer to.
From within VS, it seems I have to use .NET extensions to create a windows service, but some of the functionality I want to implement requires MFC (or, at least, the only way I've found to do it requires MFC).
Will the VS compiler allow me to use both .NET extensions and MFC ? And if so, are there steps I have to be able to use both ?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Mike the Red (a.k.a. The nooB) :->

You can mix MFC with Managed C++ or the new C++/CLI. However, since MFC is native code, you have to marshall any data exchanges with managed code. CString, for example, is very easy to use with managed code.

Hi all,
I need to check if an object created for a class is NULL or not....
How can this be done?
The code segment i had used is shown below:
public ref class Class1
{
private: static Class1 ^instance;
private: Class1();
public: static Class1^ Instance()
{
if(instance == NULL)
{
instance = gcnew Class1();
}
return instance;
}
};
This returns the following error:
error C2065: 'NULL' : undeclared identifier
Anyboby please help me out in this
Thanks in advance
Thanks and Regards
Madhu

Errrr 
You mean this:
if (MyObject == NULL)<br />
{<br />
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use nullptr in lieu of NULL for managed objects.

Hello, I obtained the following code from MSDN under _pipe():
<code>
// crt_pipe.c
/* This program uses the _pipe function to pass streams of
* text to spawned processes.
*/
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <io.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <process.h>
#include <math.h>
enum PIPES { READ, WRITE }; /* Constants 0 and 1 for READ and WRITE */
#define NUMPROBLEM 2
int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
int fdpipe[2];
char hstr[20];
int pid, problem, c;
int termstat;
/* If no arguments, this is the spawning process */
if( argc == 1 )
{
setvbuf( stdout, NULL, _IONBF, 0 );
/* Open a set of pipes */
if( _pipe( fdpipe, 256, O_BINARY ) == -1 )
exit( 1 );
/* Convert pipe read descriptor to string and pass as argument
* to spawned program. Program spawns itself (argv[0]).
*/
itoa( fdpipe[READ], hstr, 10 );
if( ( pid = spawnl( P_NOWAIT, argv[0], argv[0], hstr, NULL ) ) == -1 )
printf( "Spawn failed" );
/* Put problem in write pipe. Since spawned program is
* running simultaneously, first solutions may be done
* before last problem is given.
*/
for( problem = 1000; problem <= NUMPROBLEM * 1000; problem += 1000)
{
printf( "Son, what is the square root of %d?\n", problem );
write( fdpipe[WRITE], (char *)&problem, sizeof( int ) );
}
/* Wait until spawned program is done processing. */
_cwait( &termstat, pid, WAIT_CHILD );
if( termstat & 0x0 )
printf( "Child failed\n" );
close( fdpipe[READ] );
close( fdpipe[WRITE] );
}
/* If there is an argument, this must be the spawned process. */
else
{
std::cout << "\nGOT HERE\n" << std::endl;
/* Convert passed string descriptor to integer descriptor. */
fdpipe[READ] = atoi( argv[1] );
/* Read problem from pipe and calculate solution. */
for( c = 0; c < NUMPROBLEM; c++ )
{
read( fdpipe[READ], (char *)&problem, sizeof( int ) );
printf( "Dad, the square root of %d is %3.2f.\n", problem, sqrt( ( double )problem ) );
}
}
}
</code>
The problem is, the code will display the parent message and then the program stops. I also know that the child process will jump in while the parent process is inside the for loop (I did a simple printf("GOT HERE") inside of the child process). Is there something wrong with this code, or something I am missing?? 
Mike - I love to program!

Where do you open and close the pipes in the spawned process?
