Of course.

The reverse is true - you can't write W98/ME/2000/XP specific code without installing the platform SDK. Try TransparentBlt - the compiler won't know what it is ( it's been there since W98 ). You need a PSDK to provide the lib and header files for the compiler to call these functions, even though they are present in the OS.

hello Christian
thank you for your reply
so, just to summarize, if i work with vc++6.0 / win XP (as i like to do) i can be sure that my MFC applications will run properly also in the previous platforms. this is my concern
>The reverse is true - you can't write W98/ME/2000/XP >specific code without installing the platform SDK
do you mean of course the case of working inside win xp?
by the way, are the platform SDKs downloadable from msn?
sorry but my knowledge of the vc++6.0 is little and related to MFC only
thanks again

Hi,
I've found this equation in here:
#define Randomize(min, max) ((rand() % (int)(((max) + 1) - (min))) + (min)) //get a random number between min and max
and I realized that the result generated are the same each time, so I've added this before calling the above equation:
srand((UINT)time(NULL));
But then, when I use multithread, (e.g. 2 threads), they call the Randomize function and the one above, and generate the exact same result.
So, my question is:
How can I get two different results when 2 threads are created at the same time??
(By the way, I've also tried Sleep(Randomize(....)) to let them start at different time...)
PLEASE HELP!!! THANKS!!!

Try with srand(((unsigned)time(NULL))^GetCurrentThreadId()).
PS: I substituted ^ for |. XOR is better suited for this purpose.

Hi,
I use the following code:
if ( svrSocket.Accept(socket))
AfxMessageBox("Socket is created Succesfully");
flag = socket.Receive(buff,sizeof(buff));
....
Is it true that everytime "socket.Receive(..)" must wait until it actually receives something?? What if I want it to pause the receiving for a small period?? Because it would be simply dead if it never receive anything.
Can anyone please give me advance??
Thank you

Use asynchronous sockets (CAsyncSocket, if you're doing it the MFC way).

Thank you for your reply!!
Yes, I am doing the MFC way. But the socket cannot receive correctly if I use CAsyncSocket instead of CSocket.
Is there a problem of my program?? Or is there another way to do it??
Thanks!

The mode of use of CAsyncSocket is different than CSocket. Put briefly, with asynchronous sockets you've got to wait for the socket to tell you that reading/writing is permissible. Check the docs for this class.
So I'm afraid you'll have to rewrite portions of your code to change to asynchronous.
An alternative ad hoc solution I just ran into is using Tim Kosse's CSocket-Derived Class that Checks for Timeouts, which hopefully can be plugged into your program with minimum effort.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me why I got the error?? And what I can do??
"error C2039: 'AfxBeginThread' : is not a member of 'CWinThread'"
CWinThread* pthread;
pthread = AfxBeginThread (Check, this);
UINT CMyClass::Check(LPVOID p)
{
CMyClass * me = (CMyClass *)p;
me->Check();
return 0;
}
void CMyClass::Check()
{...}
Please give advance!! Thank you!!!
|
|
|
|
|
You may try to these:
define the Check() to static,not a member function.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks!!! But too bad, it doesn't work.

That compiler error will have displayed a line number. Post the code from that line so we can have a look.
Sorry to dissapoint you all with my lack of a witty or poignant signature.

Hello All,
I am trying to locate some VC++ 6.0 example that would show me how to read & write these shortcut LNK files.
In particular I am looking at how to read/write these application ICON files that can be seen on the Windows 95/98/2000 desktop and that are stored the users desktop directory.
These files, I think, are similar to the old PIF files but are now written in binary format and hold the particulars of an application or URL link.
Can anyone please assist?
Thanks,
Lonnie

The explorer shell functions probably provide you with more than you could ask for. However i'm not 100% sure...Mike Dunn has some cool tut's on Shell extensions so maybe read up on them.
If you wanted to read and write them using CFile or something similar then you'll probably have pretty good luck locating the file structure Here
This is a list of just about every file structure known to man.

I have for the last 2-3 days tried to figure out the CControlBar in hopes of designing a custom toolbar, however I have decided time is running out and I must move on, but still refuse to use the standard MFC/common control toolbars.
I figure I will derive my class from CWnd instead of CCOntrolBar, docking isn't really required, I just thought it'd be neat. If neat gives me heart aches, forget about it, i'll dumb it down a little.
For any controlbar it's absolutely essential that if it doesn't dock it alteast re-adjusts itself and the Frame windows client area IMO anyway. While exploring the CControlBar and MFC specific messages I ran across WM_SIZEPARENT which is sent by the parent(Frame) to all child windows within target ID range. Does this mean I could derive from Cwnd (Save myself some brain cells) and as long as my ID was withint range I can receive this message...?
I'm pretty sure this is how this works.
What I really wanna know is...When I have 2 or 3 other control bars (Status, Toolbar and custom dialogbar) when they are all positioned or docked they update the FrameWnd Client area (grow/shrink). It is this rect that is passed in as lParam in WM_SIZEPARENT...?
I tried this earlier and I kept getting the rect for the entire client area, so my custom bar would overlap the others...not a very desiarble effect. Does the frameWnd call RepositionBars each WM_SIZE it receives...? RecalcLayout adjusts the client area...?
Anybody have any ideas or suggestions...? Except Why don't I use CToolBarEx2 or something
Thanx in advance
Have a day!

What are your needs? If you just need a toolbar, perhaps w/ simple controls (entry fields/combo boxes), consider just building it from scratch w/ code:
- Create CToolBar w/ appropriate styles
- Create and populate image list(s) w/ neccessary icons
- Build list of strings (if you want text for some/all buttons)
- Build and populate array of TBBUTTON structures describing attributes of buttons and separators (separators also as placeholder for controls)
- Add all these to the toolbar
- Autosize the toolbar ctrl
This works nicely in almost all situations.
If you need something fancier, please attempt to use a library already written. There are some very nice (and free) ones out there. MFC's dockbar support is a horrible, crypic mess of undocumented spagetti code, hard-coded values, and ugly workarounds; it will permanantly scar your mind. I'd be willing to bet that someone unfamiliar with the code could more quickly implement the entire system from scratch than understand the existing one.
Ok, maybe i'm just dull, but in any case, life is too short, and MFC is dying. Don't make things any harder for yourself than necessary!

can anyone tell me how to debug and test recrusive functions??? i have trying putting trace statements and using the VC++ debugger but i always get lost on what i was doing. i trying looking at the call stacks but it is useless. Can anyone tell me what's the most efficient and the most easiest way to debug my recrusive function????
Thank you very much,

I like to put a static nesting counter in temporarily to tell how many iterations deep I am. If a problem appears, I record how many levels deep I am, then it becomes easier to set breakpoints for the particular iteration.
Other than that I like to initialize the values in the function during runtime to test all of my exit cases.

Hi,
I have a Genius NewSketch 1212 HR III V2 tablet connected to COM1. The driver for this tablet maps the 6000x6000 resolution to that of the screen 1024x768. Is there any way to read the full resolution of the tablet?
The tablet comes only with a user's manual, and there is no documentation for programmers on the web site.
An utility that comes with the tablet does read the 6000x6000 coordinates, though.
