answer in detail please

You can use the CFileDialog class to show a file opendialog( Like one you see in when you click on the open menu of IE )

CFileDialog dlg( TRUE );
if( IDOK == dlg.DoModal())// shows a file open dialog
{
return false;// some error
}
// now you can get the file name
CString csFile = dlg.GetPathName();
// Set this string to the edit box
SetDlgItemText( IDC_EDIT/*spefiy the id of edit here*/, csFile );

Hi everybody.

I have created a Setup for my app. I have developed in Visual C++, MFC.
The app need some log files, config files, and some icon.
I added all of the in the correct path to the setup.

I run the app and it said that the file "ntwdblib.dll" was missing. So I added.
I run the app and it said that the file "MFC42D.dll" was missing. So I added.
I run the app and it said that the file "MSVCRTD.dll" was missing. So I added.
I run the app and it said that the file "MFCO42D.dll" was missing. So I added.

After that, my app does not make any error, does not appear, does nothing. I know the app starts but it just finishes after starting, I checked with the task administrator. What could it be?

Can someone help me?

Time to come clean...

1. When an application is delivered for thrid party usage, it must be build in the release verion. I doubt your application is now build using the debug configuration( thats why a dependency to MFC42D.dll, MSVCRTD.dll etc came )

2. Use the Dependeny walker to find out the necessry dll need by your application and add it to your installtion setup( Ignore the dll's coming with the OS ).

I built as Release before getting the files to the setup, now there are some strange errors like

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ...

many times and about 2 different obj files.

What does it mean?

This is because you havent include the Ws2_32.lib in the project setting( project settings->Link-> In the object/library module edit box, enter Ws2_32.lib )

garfield185 wrote:

You haven't include the lib file corresponding to the function dbdead(). Find it and add it in the same location as above( May be you can get it from the debug configuration ).

may be the second one is ntwdblib.lib .I found it from the first post.

Release and debug configurations have both separate options, so everything that you set for the debug version (like include paths or additional libraries), you should also set it for the release version.

?????

Can you explain it? Do you mean that the path I have been using may not be the correct ones in the release version? So, how do I know the correct paths in that case?

What I mean is that:
If you changed some settings in the project properties when working in debug mode (for example, you added a new include path or you specified a library to link your project to), all these settings will be 'lost' when you switch to release mode. So, you have to configure all of that once again. A way to avoid that (in VS2005) is to choose "All configurations" when you do a change in the project properties.

It seems that in release mode you are not linking against the socket library (and you do that for the debug version because you don't have errors when building).

Cédric Moonen

Charting control [v1.2]

Ok, I know understand.

When changing to release version is like reseting the options, so I have to fill again all the option such us libraries. That was the error.

Thanks!!

Not totally true. In fact, every configuration has its own properties, hopefully. Hopefully because for specific things they need to be different: when you build in debug mode, you want to link with debug libraries and in release, you want to link with release libraries.

But most of the settings are the same. It can be quite annoying to set all the settings once again, that's why there is an option (in VS2005) to save the changes for all configurations. When you open you properties, it is in the top-left of the window ("Configuration").

It's also in V6.

Fair enough. I just wanted everyone to know that it wasn't a new feature.

Has any people worked on Reuters RFA API C++ .
I need urgent help for fetching data from there server through this API.
Lot of samples in the API. Can any one help me.

Any particular error that you are getting when using this API? I've worked on this.

I am not able to integrate RFA with my Web service.

Hi all,
Which is the best engine to do OCR in vc++ like google ocr or MODI(microsoft object document imaging),or ......?

Thanks in advance....

I need to write a debugger which will execute an process and I need to get notification when that process will write or modify any thing on the hard disk. Can we keep watch on any process for getting info when that process will write to hard disk? I have read something about "Win32 Debug API". Can any one guide me or give me any demo code for this?

In short: no.

Slightly longer: yes, but it requires a filter driver that you can connect to from user mode the way Process Monitor by Mark Russinovich[^] does.
Perhaps you are able to use Process Monitor instead of developing something on your own.

Thanks a lot for your reply. I was thinking to build a file system filter driver. What do you think can I keep watch on a process by file system filter driver? According to me, if we load a filter driver, we need to restart the computer. Can we load a filter driver with out rebooting?
