Hi,
you didn't mention the functions. Therefore this is just a wild guess.
There are many functions, that return an int to indicate success or failure. Usually a 0 means a success and everything else indicates an error. This is typically done, when throwing an exception is not an option.
Regards,
Tim

Hmm... In VC++ 2003, it's like Steve said it was like in VB, true = 1, false = 0... Or am I wrong? Maybe returning int on a bool func was the mistake?

This is correct.

From your description, I don't understand what you are doing. Can you provide a short code sample?

Actually in VB true is -1 and false is 0. (because they used bitwise AND to test for it i think)
BOOL (which is a typedef for int) should be either TRUE (1) or FALSE (0). Why are you returning int if the return type is bool? It has to do unneccesary conversions.

The return values for APIs can be:
int or long or DWORD: 0 = success (or ERROR_SUCCESS or NO_ERROR, all defined as 0), non-zero = failure.
BOOL (not bool): FALSE (zero) = failure, non-zero = success. Note that with BOOL, any non-zero value should be interpreted as "true", therefore never test a BOOL against TRUE, only against FALSE.
HRESULT: Use the SUCCEEDED and FAILED macros to test for success/failure.

There's only one reason for success, but there can be several for failure. That's why a function typically returns 0 for success.

See CFtpConnection if it suits your needs.
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

Hope I understood your question
See URLDownloadToCacheFile and URLDownloadToFile and also you can see a example from Mr Michael Dunn for URLDownloadToFile
|
|
|
|

Yah, I think I need use CInternetConnection and maybe URLDownloadToCacheFile and URLDownloadToFile for this application, but I don't know how to use this.
From C++ program I need to connect to a servlet server for request or download file.
Please let me know where example from Mr Michael Dunn is?
Any help again,
Many thank to you!

i am working with Active-x test container in that i have add control through edit,now i am able to get connected with server with invoke function>My Q is :
1.if i want to save my userid and password in that for future use is that possible.
2. when i get connected to server it is giving me a "session id" and each time it will b new one
so if i want to use that session id for further procedure like "request Price" etc without
user interface how it can b done.
3.Is it possible to invoke more then 1 or 2 function from test container.
any suggestion will b helpful to me.
Thanks

Instead of using Test Container, I would probably write a simple test application that uses the Active-X control, then you can get/set properties, invoke methods, and put the control through rigorous testing.
At least that's how I would do it.

I just have to ask...if you're not writing an application, what exactly are you planning to do with the ActiveX control?! (i.e. why do you need to test it?)

I can select records using
SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyColumn LIKE ‘A%’
But it is case insensitive and it selects all the records which begin with ‘A’ and ‘a’
Is there any way to write it, to be case sensitive?
I want to select the records which begin with ‘A’ only, not ‘a’
Thank you

Probably a good question for the SQL / ADO / ADO.NET forum...so I'm just guessing, but I think that's just the way sql and access work. You could filter it out with code, when you loop through your recordset.

This question is for VC or sql?
|
|
|
|
|
For SQL. I put this question here to get quick response.
|
|
|
|
|
How about:
SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE UPPER(MyColumn) LIKE ‘A%’
