Hi Guys,
A structure,which consists of member variables ( eg: int, float data type ) is written in a shared memory from a BackEnd application, which is accessed by a Front End application. When I try to write a Cstring variable or TCHAR array as member variable of the structure, it is not working, and exception occurs. Actually my need is to write a string to shared memory - from Back end, which is accessed by Front End. The string should be a member of this structure. So plz help me what datatype to be used.

Thanks in Advance
Velayudhan

Try Char* instead. Smile | :)

Actually I am working in Unicode support application. so I tried with TCHAR* , but it is not working.
A doubt : CString can't be written in Shared memory, as we cannot define the size of CString , Is it correct?

Give Specfic Size to the String Member, i.e. USE TCHAR youObj[100];

A possible solution is to define a fixed-size array within your shared structure, for instance: TCHAR mName[100]. The size of the array must be large enough. Now for string-transfer operations use string-manipulation functions like strcpy in non-Unicode or wcscpy in Unicode mode. (If you use lstrcpy or StrCpy, then they will work in both modes).

Unfortunately, this is problematic to use if you cannot predict and limit the largest size of your string.

If the two applications are complete separate processes, you cannot just share pointers between the two of them. If the shared memory segment is coherent between both processes, you can simply use a portion of it as a buffer for text/string data. You can then pass offsets into the buffer to specify data locations.

Or, you can change the structure to contain a proper array and copy the entire structure to the shared memory area:

struct sMyData
{
    double m_dValue;
    char   m_cValue;
    char   m_caValue[ 128 ];
    int    m_iValue;
};

When moving data between processes via some kind of shared memory implementation, you should generally avoid pointers and "real" objects.

Peace!

Under project settings>Linkd>object library modules check if kernel32.lib exists.
If not add it.
Could be some other issue?

Mouse move event

I used the following code. But it does not take the correct column (subitem).

The part of code is in OnMouseMove event:
void CListt::OnMouseMove(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{
CPoint pt(point);
ScreenToClient(&pt);
LVHITTESTINFO hitInfo;
hitInfo.pt = point;
int nItem = -1;
nItem = m_list.SubItemHitTest(&hitInfo);
if (nItem >= 0)
{
m_list.SetItemState(nItem, LVIS_SELECTED, LVIS_SELECTED);
}

if (nItem >= 0 && hitInfo.iSubItem > 0)
{
int m_nSubItemHit = hitInfo.iSubItem;
if ( hitInfo.iSubItem == 8)
SetCursor(hCursor);
}
}

I need to change the cursor if subitem is "8". But even if move the mouse on the 8th subitem, the value of hitInfo.iSubItem is some thing else. moreover nItem is always -1.

Any clues please

Thanks
Raji

Hi guys

can i convert

integers and doubles to _bstr_t;
if yes can you tell me how

thanks a lot

_bstr_t is a type which can hold unicode string.

CString strText;
// format the value to CString
strText.Format("%d",nValue);
call strText.AllocSysString(); to convert

I think type defined by TCHAR has dependency to the current build environement(unicode/ MBCS). The compiler will define char array instead of unicode character array (wchar_t)in an MBCS environment. so there is a chance for error. I think, when it is better to declare wchar_t array instead of declaring TCHAR array since we are using wsprintf for formatting. what do u think?

Actually TCHAR is defined as :-

#ifdef UNICODE
 #define TCHAR wchar_t
 #else
 #define TCHAR char
 #endif

so you can use in both Character set. plus little mistake from my side too, wsprintf should be written something like this to make it character set independent

 wsprintf(szChar,_T("%d"),100);

You will get the expected string depends on the format specifier you are specifying

Hey ThatsAlok

i tried your code and it works fine with integers but i have

double valField4;

TCHAR szStr2[100];
wsprintf(szStr2,"%e",valField4);
_bstr_t bstText2(szStr2);
printf("%s\n",(LPCSTR)bstText2);

the otput for bstText2 that i get is e
why does that happen thanks again
