how to Convert FileTimeToSystemTime in win32. amitmistry_petlad 24-Dec-06 23:06 amitmistry_petlad 24-Dec-06 23:06  i am using the .NET. i need to fetch the attributes from the wmv/wma file. e.g. time(created,access,modified)bitrate,size,duration,extension(avi/mpeg/wmv). i have used the above API function FileTimeToSystemTime(&ft,st) ft is FILETIME. where st is LPSYSTEMTIME. When i debug it gives memory error. all these attributes i need to display in the listview like search which gives us all files list information with attributes. Thanks in advance amit mistry Re: how to Convert FileTimeToSystemTime in win32. includeh1025-Dec-06 2:20 includeh10 25-Dec-06 2:20  LPSYSTEMTIME st is the same as SYSTEMTIME*st; you must do in this way: SYSTEMTIME st; FileTimeToSystemTime(&ft,&st) Raise events from unmanaged to managed yoti1124-Dec-06 22:31 yoti11 24-Dec-06 22:31  Hi, I tried to raise an event from unmanaged code class to a class in managed code. I passed a delegate pointer (using Marshal) to the unmanaged class but I got an error when the unmanaged class tried to execute the function. I tried to use pin_ptr to the delegate pointer with no results. How can I raise event from unmanaged code class to a managed code class using delegate (managed) and function pointer(unmanaged)? Thanks Re: Raise events from unmanaged to managed 567890123424-Dec-06 23:15 5678901234 24-Dec-06 23:15  I don't think that it is possible to raise event directly from unmanaged code, but it is possible to call managed callback function which does this. Use Marshal.GetFunctionPointerForDelegate method to pass managed callbak function address to unmanaged code. Keep delegate instance alive all time when callback function can be called. Re: Raise events from unmanaged to managed yoti1124-Dec-06 23:36 yoti11 24-Dec-06 23:36  Thanks for your reply, I've a delegate instance that lives all the time and I sent it to the unmanaged code using Marshal.GetFunctionPointerForDelegate. But I think there is a problem with the GC since it can be reallocated the delegate on the heap. How can it be handle? Thanks Re: Raise events from unmanaged to managed 567890123425-Dec-06 1:26 5678901234 25-Dec-06 1:26  I think that that delegate is pinned internally by this function. .NET doesn't allow to take unmanaged pointers to managed unpinned objects. You can do this manually using GCHandle, as shown in MSDN topic "GCHandle.Alloc Method (Object)", but I think this is exactly what GetFunctionPointerForDelegate does. uninitialized pointer rp_suman24-Dec-06 20:58 rp_suman 24-Dec-06 20:58  How to find the pointer is initialized or not. In destructor, if I delete the pointer array like: if(ptr) { delete [] ptr; } an exception is got inside catch(...){}. The if condition is sucess even if the pointer is not initialized. The pointer address is 0xcccccccc. Thanks & Regards, Suman Re: uninitialized pointer includeh1025-Dec-06 2:25 includeh10 25-Dec-06 2:25  if(ptr) { delete [] ptr; } is totally bad C++ code. just do: delete [] ptr; because if ptr==NULL, you delete it without any problem. for code like above, you must init at begining like: ptr=0; if the ptr will be reused, you must init after delete like: delete []ptr; ptr=0; Re: uninitialized pointer Michael Dunn25-Dec-06 5:27 Michael Dunn 25-Dec-06 5:27  Always init your pointers to NULL (0xcccccccc is what the debugger sets uninitialized memory/variables to). If a pointer's value is NULL, then it's not pointing to anything. If the value is anything else, it might point to valid memory, or it might not. There is no foolproof way to tell. --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP LINKS~! Ericahist | PimpFish | CP SearchBar v3.0 | C++ Forum FAQ Ford, what's this fish doing in my ear? Re: uninitialized pointer rp_suman26-Dec-06 19:08 rp_suman 26-Dec-06 19:08  Thanks for help! In release mode there is no error caught by catch() when deleting unintialized pointer. I think there is no fixed value for unintialized pointer in release mode. Is there any chance of deleting the memory of other variable or function when deleting the unintialized pointer? Is it possible to know the address is some other variable / function's memory. Thanks & Regards, Suman Re: uninitialized pointer Michael Dunn26-Dec-06 20:57 Michael Dunn 26-Dec-06 20:57  It's your responsibility to make sure any pointer that you dereference is pointing to valid memory.

Thanks & Regards, Suman Re: uninitialized pointer Cristian Amarie25-Dec-06 5:31 Cristian Amarie 25-Dec-06 5:31  IsBadReadPtr & IsBadWritePtr may help you by indicating if the pointer is readable and/or deletable. Possibly also HeapWalk could help. Re: uninitialized pointer Michael Dunn25-Dec-06 6:31 Michael Dunn 25-Dec-06 6:31  IsBadReadPtr() and IsBadWritePtr() don't work and can actually cause more problems.

Re: uninitialized pointer Cristian Amarie25-Dec-06 7:18 Cristian Amarie 25-Dec-06 7:18  Sorry about that. I didn't know the internal mechanics of these two APIs, nor that their usage can lead to such disasters. Then I suppose remains HeapWalk... or also this one contains a hidden treasure as well?

[modified] jakeyjia26-Dec-06 14:13 jakeyjia 26-Dec-06 14:13  i got the answer in the Hardware board... For a floppy drive? There isn't a way to do this. The Device Manager in Windows doesn't care. As far as I know, most of them come back as a Generic Drive on a Standard Controller. About the only ones that would come back with any information are the old 120MB Super Drives.

I have down loaded the program written by Mr. Asef (Port Access By asef.)but it doesn't work properly , I think that may be I have miss something... Would you please help me and give me your instruction to solve this problem! my email: bangkokhanoi2007@yahoo.com Thank you in advance! Your sincelery, BK2007 Re: How to control Parallel port by programming Visual C++ kasturi_haribabu25-Dec-06 22:47 kasturi_haribabu 25-Dec-06 22:47  Check following before you could do any thing : 1. Bios setting in your PC is in EPP/ ECP mode. (SPP is uni directional) 2. You BIDIR bit is set in base+1 port. (MSB of port 3F9 if Parallel port address is 3F8 and so on...); I think its a pretty easy task. I dont know whether Iam allowed to provide url links in this message board. therefore ... no risk... haribabu mutithreading, how to synchronize threads saania khan24-Dec-06 20:26 saania khan 24-Dec-06 20:26  Hi all. I have two threads ... one as a sender and the other a receiver for data sent over sockets. But the sockets are being created and handled in a dll ( a VC# dll which has a class named Class1). so when I call these threads I have to pass the object of the class in the dll because the sender and receiver use the same sockets right!!. Here is what I have in the sender and receiver threads... ( and I dont know a work around for the DoEvents thing, because I have to enforce the processor to do other tasks while the thread is in a while loop .... and I have removed the doevents completely as well and it doesnt make any difference. So the problem is not with doevents). DWORD WINAPI SenderThread(LPVOID iValue) { Mutex^ mut = gcnew Mutex(); mut->WaitOne(); Class1^ senderdll = *((Class1^*)iValue); mut->Close(); int returnval; DoEvents(); while(true) { returnval = senderdll->SenderEntryPoint(); if(returnval == 1) // sockets closed { break; //dynamic_cast<autoresetevent^>(stateInfo)->Set(); } } return 0; } DWORD WINAPI ReceiverThread(LPVOID iValue) { Mutex^ mut = gcnew Mutex(); mut->WaitOne(); Class1^ receiverdll = *((Class1^*)iValue); mut->Close (); int returnval; DoEvents(); while(true) { returnval = receiverdll->ReceiverEntryPoint(); if(returnval == 1) // the sockets closed break; } return 0; } and here is how I am creating these threads. (The cmdListen_Click function creates the sockets.) Class1^ c = gcnew Class1(); c->cmdListen_Click(NewPosition);//call the dll function to create sockets ////Threads start DWORD dwGenericThread; hThread2 = CreateThread(NULL,0,SenderThread,&c,0,&dwGenericThread);//the sender thread if(hThread2 == NULL) { DWORD dwError = GetLastError(); return 0; } hThread3 = CreateThread(NULL,0,ReceiverThread,&c,0,&dwGenericThread);//the receiver thread if(hThread3 == NULL) { DWORD dwError = GetLastError(); return 0; } //////Threads end Now the two problems I am facing are: 1) How do I synchronize the threads? The AutoResetEvent (as given in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.threading.autoresetevent.aspx), uses a threadpool to create threads. My problem is if I use the threadpool instead of using the CreateThread how do I pass the Class1 object in the threads ? 2) My second problem is the AccessViolation error, which I am getting at the point where I create the instance of the Class in the thread. ( in both sender or receiver, depending upon which thread I am creating first !!). Class1^ receiverdll = *((Class1^*)iValue); What am I doing wrong here? When I was getting an access violation error in VC#, I used LOCK to enforce resource allocation. How do I do this in VC++? Thanks.
