I have a C++ application that i am looking to provide a button that will have the functionality of hitting an ftp server and playing a video clip. I have some understanding of how to do this with ShellExecute in C++ if i have a clip on a web server but not sure about an ftp server. Cannot use ShellExecute for an ftp server can i?

Any ideas anyone?

That is not an application it's a script. You could do that from a Javascript file. HTTP is a stateless protocol Ftp is a stateful protocol. I don't recommend trying to script a stateful protocol, but that's just me. Smile | :)

See if this[^] helps.

I am open to suggestions cause the fact is that i do not know how to do this. Whatever i use must be in C++, or if you know of a better way i will be open. Just need to be able to play a video clip on an ftp server from a C++ application.

The requirements you give are not specific enough to help you. It would be like asking an Architect to design you a Red House. He doesn't even know where to start. For example one way I could interpret your post would be to suggest that you write a C++ NT Service that would transfer the file from the FTP Server to the Web Server so that you could use your existing knowledge that you gave as follows:

But I have no way of knowing if this meets your requirements.

Unfortunately, these files are located on an ftp server alone. I am not able to put them on a web server. I have no C++ NT service. Just a C++ application that i am placing a button on that says, "play video". I will figure out how to associate the file name of the video clip that i need. All i need to know is how to access that video clip and have it play in a default player.

Now, the questions that i have are :
1. Is this possible given what i said.
2. If so, what api's etc. would i use.

Thanks again,

Strange requirements and stranger application, is it a school project?

A brute force method would be to transfer the file to the local machine then launch it in the default player.

There are Windows APIs called WinInet that provide FTP client functionality. MFC has Wrapper classes for the API like CFtpConnection, CFtpFindFile, etc. There is a CodeProject article that might help you Article[^]

good luck.

Hi

I am creating SDI MFC sample App. I followed the steps given in "http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/mdisdiapps.asp". I have not yet added any of my code.

I am getting these 2 errors while compiling:
Test_SDI\MainFrm.cpp(55) :error C2065: 'CBRS_GRIPPER' : undeclared identifier
Test_SDI\MainFrm.cpp(55) :error C2660: 'CreateEx' : function does not take 3 parameters

Any suggestions?

This style comes from afxres.h, which is included automatically if you used MFC's AppWizard.

What does your project's stdafx.h file look like?

Look at your post and see. Notice the #include directives are not showing up. I can see them if I view the HTML source, but that's unnecessary if the post was corrected.

I will correct it, but then do you think that I should include afxres.h explicitly in StdAfx.h file?

Thank you.

No. It has already been included by afxwin.h.

COleDateTime problem !

hi all,

I set a COledateTime object:

// DateRec
COleDateTime oleDateRec;
oleDateRec.SetDateTime(anno,
mese,
giorno,
pMonitor->ore,
pMonitor->minuti,
pMonitor->secondi);

with current datetime Ex.(2006,6,20,16,50,23)

When i save oleDateRec.m_dt in a db table field with this insruction:

// Comando SQL
sSqlCommand.Format(_T("INSERT INTO STOPS_MONITOR (StopCode,DateRec,PlantCode,RoomCode,GroupCode,MachCode,CyclePos,OrderCode,StyleCode,StSize,StColor,StLot,Shift)")
_T(" VALUES(%ld,%f,'%s','%s','%s',%ld,%ld,'%s','%s','%s','%s','%s',%d)"),
lStopCode,
---> oleDateRec.m_dt,
sAffiliationPlant,
sAffiliationRoom,
sAffiliationGroup,
DbTfr.addr,
pMonitor->step,
sOrderCode,
sStyleCode,
sStSize,
sStColor,
sStLot,
atoi(tmp_Turno));

in the table STOPS_MONITOR in the field DateRec I see this: 2006, 6, 22

the day is change from 20 to 22!!!! Frown | :(

(

Database is a MSSQL Server
the field DateRec is a datetime type. lenght 8

Any idea??

thanks in advanced!! Big Grin | :-D

Too many plans make the health badly!!

Win32 Project & ClrButton

Hi again
Excuse me for asking what I am sure is a dum question, but here goes:

I have a Win32 "Typical Hello World" project VC6.0(written by others), which I am adapting to what I want to do. In my application I wish to have coloured buttons. I have previously made use of a ClrButton class in dialog boxes (which I believe I obtained from Code Guru).

If I simply include the files CClrButton.cpp & .h in my Win32 app, I come up with errors:
nafxcwd.lib(thrdcore.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __endthreadex
nafxcwd.lib(thrdcore.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __beginthreadex

Can someone point me in the right direction to working out how to do this. I havnt really got a grasp of the differences in creating a dialog and a win32 app - is there a tutorial that I can look at?

Sorry for asking what I am sure are simple questions, but if you dont ask...

Cheers
Mike

Of course, tons of them. However they may not result in you understanding things any more than the sample you worked with did. Don't get fooled into believing one can "learn C++ in 21 days". For starter books on Win32 development try Petzold and Richter. There are others as well but I liked both of them.

The linking errors have to do with the libraries you are linking with. Go to your Project->Settings dialog in the C/C++ tab and select the Code Generation category. You will have a combo box with choices like "DLL Singlethreaded", "DLL Multithreaded", "Singlethreaded", "Multithreaded", etc. Try selecting the Multithreaded version. If that works, look at the code and figure out why it is creating a thread ... GUI components rarely need them.

CRichEditCtrl set text color

hi all,
i need to set the entire rich edit text to white....
i know there is a SetBackgroundColor method and to set the text i need to do SetDefaultCharFormat
but this doesn't work for me....

here is what i do:

CHARFORMAT2 cf;
m_edtMsg.GetDefaultCharFormat(cf);
cf.cbSize = sizeof(CHARFORMAT2);
cf.dwMask = CFM_COLOR;
cf.crTextColor  = RGB(255,255,255);
m_edtMsg.SetDefaultCharFormat(cf);

when i start typing on the rich edit, i see the color hasn't been changed???

any help?

thanks in advanced

Actually you should put cf.cbSize = sizeof(CHARFORMAT2) before GetDefaultCharFormat, but it is even unneded in case of MFC.

May be you should also unset the CFE_AUTOCOLOR:

cf.dwEffects ^= ~CFE_AUTOCOLOR;

I think you do not need to use GetDefaultCharFormat. Maybe this will work for you:

CHARFORMAT2 cf = { 0 };
cf.dwMask = CFM_COLOR;
cf.crTextColor = RGB(0, 0, 255); // blue
m_edtMsg.SetDefaultCharFormat(cf);

Hope it helps.
