I wrote a code (written as a SDI) that connects to DB (via ODBC) and does some work and views the results on a form.

But I need to add this to a bigger MDI project. How can I add it?
I thought of two ways :
1- directly add the DB project to the main project(which I don't know how)
2-create .lib out of the database project abd include it. But I don't know how make a .lib that contains CRecordset and Form View ...

Any idea?
Thanks a lot....

Infinite value in C++

in my program, i need to hold infinite value in a string.

it is very easy for normal value, ie.
char*psz="33.33" is a string which holds value 33.33, because we can use atof() function to get the value 33.33 from "33.33".

but, how to hold infinite value in a string?

following is my test:

//----------------------------
CString cs;

double db1=1/sin(0);
cs.Format("%f",db1);
double db2=atof(cs);

//-------------------------
cs is displayed as "1.#INF00"
value of db2 is 1.00

we can explain why atof("1.#INF00") is 1.00 for code above.

but how to hold the infinite value db1 in a string "..." so that its value can be re-generated by atof("...") function?

Why not use cs.GetBuffer(),ReleaseBuffer()? and then use atof()?

GetBuffer retrieves a pointer to buffer and when use of GetBuffer you must use of ReleaseBuffer and atof for convert of string to double.
Does this your answer?

Why the following piece of code that simply reads the current pos & size of the CEdit control makes the control to change its size regardless that no changes of top,left,bottom,right values are made ?

pEditSearch = (CEdit*) pPage->GetDlgItem(IDC_EDITSEARCH);
pEditSearch->GetClientRect (&rectChild);
pEditSearch->SetWindowPos (NULL,rectChild.top, rectChild.left, rectChild.right, rectChild.bottom ,SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_SHOWWINDOW);

This piece of code is used in a left pane view (using a CSplitterWnd class) and my goal is to change the right border of the CEdit control accordingly of the pane size (just like a .CHM help file with am index).

The "change" comes in the form of client vs. screen coordinates.

Maybe try this (changes in red):

pEditSearch = (CEdit*) pPage->GetDlgItem(IDC_EDITSEARCH);
pEditSearch->GetWindowRect (&rectChild);
ScreenToClient(&rectChild);
pEditSearch->SetWindowPos (NULL,rectChild.left, rectChild.top, rectChild.Width(), rectChild.Height() ,SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_SHOWWINDOW);

Note SetWindowPos takes x,y,cx,cy - not y1,x1,x2,y2, like you were passing!

Ok I traced the error with your help Mark.

1. Totaly wrong parameters to SetWindowPost
2. It worked only with the GetWindowRect & ScreenToClient and not with GetClientRect ( I am curious why not???).

The combination of GetWindowRect / ScreenToClient should give the GetClientRect position, Am I wrong ?

Did you use of ScreenToClient on your code it converts screen coordinates to client coordinates.

Hi everyone,

Can anyone tell me, how to check whether entered text is RTL (for example: Arabic or Hebrew) or LTR(for example:English) text?

I am using Uniscribe in my application. If i don't use ETO_RTLREADING in ExtTextOut(), can i get correct output based on English or Arabic language entered?

Thank you,

Hi,

Uniscribe's ScriptIsComplex()function will help you. Just go through the following MSDN link to get more understanding and usage of the function.

hi everyone,

i'm working on a project which includes a DLL and a separate UserBroker (both written in ATL) object which is used for getting/setting registry keys and reading/writing to user directories. (the object will be used in Vista, so this is needed)

i want to read some binary data from registry and i have written this function properly:

STDMETHODIMP CUserBroker::QueryBinaryValue(BSTR bstrKeyName, BSTR bstrValueName, BYTE **pValue, ULONG *pnBytes)

the function body is simple. it just opens the registry key (using a CRegKey) and uses its QueryBinaryValue method. the problem is somehow i just can't pass a BYTE array to the other process (which calls the CUserBroker's method). the call to the method is this:

arr = (BYTE *)malloc(1 * sizeof(BYTE));
pub->QueryBinaryValue(ATL::CComBSTR(s_bstrToolBarRegistryKey), ATL::CComBSTR("hop"), &arr, &dwSize);
arr = (BYTE *)realloc(&arr[0], (dwSize) * sizeof(BYTE));
pub->QueryBinaryValue(ATL::CComBSTR(s_bstrToolBarRegistryKey), ATL::CComBSTR("hop"), &arr, &dwSize);
delete arr;

everything works fine until the first line of CUserBroker::QueryBinaryValue method, where the BYTE** pointer points to BadPtr (0x00000000) immediately.

the question: how can i pass a BYTE array (or any other array) among processes?

One way is to use WM_COPYDATA.

thanks, the article was really helpful. i used BSTR to pass the array safely among processes. i thought i needed some structure like BSTR for this, but couldn't imagine the solution would be BSTR itself Smile | :)

WM_COPYDATA is useful too, but since my UserBroker does not have a window, i can't send the message to anywhere else.

thanks again

how to get the VARIANT type URL as a CString from OnDocumentComplete in webbrowser2

void MyDialog::OnDocumentCompleteExplorer1(LPDISPATCH pDisp, VARIANT FAR* URL) <br />
{<br />
	<br />
}

"URL" here contains the url that has been completed. but it is a variant type. i want to as a CString type so that i can check it. i tried casting but it doesnt work. does anyone knows how to do it?

you can use the V_BSTR macro to get it done. the macro returns a BSTR that you can use to obtain a CString. something like this may help/work:

BSTR bstrUrl = V_BSTR(URL);
CString cstrUrl(bstrUrl);

A variant type has many different subtypes, one of which is a BSTR. For example:

COleVariant vtURL(URL, VT_BSTRT);
CString strURL = V_BSTRT(&vtURL);

Or:

CString strURL(V_BSTR(URL));

Hello all,

I was wondering if I can use the new CString class that came with VC++2005 but in VC++6...

If this is possible, how should it be done?

As always thank you in advance...

No, but you could possibly derive your own class from CString, and add methods to it that are similar to those in the VS2005 version.
