Consider:

char arr1[12] = "Hello ";
char arr2[6] = "World";
memcpy(&arr1[6], arr2, 5 * sizeof(char));
// arr1 now contains "Hello World"

Hi everybody!
I have to translate in italian a simple application called TLX (task load index) edited by NASA in the 70's (I think). D'Oh! | :doh:

Does anybody knows if is it possible to find source codes of existent tlx applications? and if it's possible, where can I find them?
I only have the exe file in english. I think I'll have to use MFC.
if anybody knows something about tlx please reply to this post!! I need heeeeeeeeeeelp.
ok. stop. thanks. kisses.

sorry for my bad english Sigh | :sigh:

Hi,

did someone use the DrivePackageInstall? I used the follow code to test but this give to me two error messages( "can't open or write in the file"or "the syntax of file name, folder or volume is wrong" )

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)
{

char *pathInfFile = "C:\\driver\\mdmazlw.inf";

BOOL needReboot = FALSE;
DWORD driverInstalled;
driverInstalled = DriverPackageInstall(pathInfFile,
DRIVER_PACKAGE_SILENT,
NULL, &needReboot );

if(driverInstalled == ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED)
MessageBox(NULL,"problem","Test",MB_OK);

if(needReboot)
MessageBox(NULL,"Reinicie o computador para completar a instalação","Teste",MB_OK);
else
MessageBox(NULL,"Instalação efetuada com sucesso","Teste",MB_OK);

return 0;
}

I need help!!!

Gratefull,

Help with importing .dll

kialmur9-Mar-06 5:23

I am a bit new at C++. I am trying to important various functions from a .dll file. I have both the .dll and the .lib files, and I know the function definition because they were previously imported in a Visual Basic project. How can I use the functions? For example, say I have the files x.dll and x.lib, which contain a function int z(int). What do I need to do use that function? The only method I found was using the __declspec(dllimport) int z(int);, and I am not even sure if that is correct since it gave me linking errors.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you link with x.lib?

I am not quite sure how. I tried adding it to the project and also added it in one of project settings under Linking. Is there some otherway?

There is, but if you are already adding it to the linker options, it's pointless.

Exactly what linker error(s) are you getting?

The error is:
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "long __cdecl sendChipOffset(long,long,long)" (?sendChipOffset@@YAJJJJ@Z)

For the linking portion, I went in the project settings, then to the Link tab. I added the path under Object/library modules. Is that correct?

Correct font size

Jim Crafton9-Mar-06 5:01

9-Mar-06 5:01

I have a window that needs to display text using a fixed size (mono spaced) TT font (say Courier New) and the text will be limited to 80 columns by 24 rows. I need to calculate the bounding rect that keeps the aspect ratio of the font and centers it in the window.
I can get all this to work fine.
The next problem is choosing the font size. How do I get windows to give me a font size that will correctly fill this rect? Is this not possible? It seems no matter what I do, I get font sizes that do not scale up or down smoothly, and the text is usually either too small or too big.

The MidiPlyr PSDK sample has code which scales the timer text so it fills the window (not very well mind you). It's located in Samples/Multimedia/Audio/MidiPlyr/uiutils.c:EmbossedTextOut() and CreateScaledFont(). 80% chance that the scaled font feature (and all of uiutils.c) was created as an extra credit assignment.

But anyway, the API to use is GetTextExtentPoint32.

Thanks. I know about GetTextExtentPoint32. Unfortunately the problem is getting windows to use a reasonable font size. It appears that windows only has a few font sizes, and there's no provision or way to smoothly scale up or down without jumps in sizes. This means that sometimes the font matches the rect just fine, others it's too small, and other times it's too big. I'll look into the example though!

The MidiPlyr sample also has this problem. It doesn't fully scale to the window, hence the jumps in font size you see.

So if Microsoft, for all their wealth, power and unrestricted access to the Windows source code, can't get it right, what hope do we poor insignificant developers who get the ~~scrap heap~~ public API, have Smile | :)

a little bit confused by ur post:
every row must contain 80 characters or differnt (max is 80)? all rows use same font? "display" means by paint (CDC etc) or text control (CEdit etc)?

Hi everyone.
Can someone point me in the right direction to find an answer to a problem I have been posed by my boss!

We have approx 150 PCs (Win95 & 98), each running software which puts audio (16kHz sample rate, 8 bit ulaw)out of the parallel port into our own DAC board.

We wish to install NetMeeting in all these machines so that a VoIP call can be made to them from a central PC. The problem is that there are no soundcards fitted!

Any incoming audio (from Netmeeting) will need to be routed to the parallel port. Is it possible for NetMeeting to work without a soundcard?

Where would I need to start - is it a case that a specific codec would be need to be written to do this? If so is it a simple task? I am asuming that the source audio will be encoded at the same sample & bit rates as our DAC uses.

It would be perfectly adequate for the incoming audio to be simply put into a file, which I could then read and then write out of the parallel port.

My skills as a programmer are relatively low, is it something that a 'novice' can achieve?

I will have approx 10 weeks of full time work to achieve this - could it be done in this time?

I hope someone out there can point me in the right direction - or to the right forum!

Thanks for any help

Mike

You'll have to write a device driver to make the parallel port look like a sound card. Yes, it's possible, but depending on your skill level will probably take longer than 10 weeks, particularly since device drivers are notoriously difficult to debug.

Unless there's a strong reason not to, it would probably be cheaper for the company to put a cheap sound card ($10-20) in each computer, than to pay your wages for 10 weeks (or possibly longer) when you could be doing other stuff more suited to your abilities (yes, I'm assuming a lot here... I don't mean to offend).

If you do go the route of developing a driver, Toby Opferman has got a great series of articles on device driver development here[^]. Other resources may exist on the net. Ask google for a hand Smile | :)

Good luck! Smile | :)

Thanks Ryan

I will start looking at how to write device drivers!

The thinking behind doing this was that our customer wants the update, but will probably (if a sound card is required), pay one of his own engineers to go round and install the sound cards. If we could do the update without a sound card, we could then charge a bit more for the job, but he would pay less overall as he wouldnt need to update all the PCs

Thanks for your advice, now to look at how to do device drivers!
