Hi Luc,
Actually there is a difference in the structure of the definition of 'PrintPage^ += gcnew PrintPageEventHandler(PrintableMap_PrintPage);' I did a search on the entire Sokoban solution for PrintPage and there was only the 1 occurrance. How and where is PrintPage defined?

Hi Buck,
When there is a PrintDocument that .NET wants to print, it does two things:
- it invokes OnPrintPage() which is empty by default, but you could override it;
- it fires the PrintPage event which is also empty, but you could add delegates
to it (with the += syntax in C# and C++).
BTW: the method that you should pass to the new delegate takes two arguments
(object sender, XXXeventArgs e) whereas the OnXXX method only takes the latter.
All the same is true for the Paint event of a Control; that's why you were looking for
an OnPaint() but did not find one in Sokoban, it has a Paint+=new ... statement instead.
This is a C++ example straight from MSDN:
pictureBox1->Paint += gcnew System::Windows::Forms::PaintEventHandler(
this, &Form1::pictureBox1_Paint );
Hope this helps.

I still can't get the SOB to compile. I get an...
error C3924: error in argument #2 of delegate constructor call 'System::Drawing::Printing::PrintPageEventHandler
I guess I'll have to take the next week (Ha! more like the next couple of months) and learn about delegates.

showing the code would give us a chance to suggest a fix.

Yes, yes, yes! I have verified this by making a copy of the board.cs file and renaming it board.cpp. Then I included it into the VS solution and remarked out all of the code. The I unremarked the code compiling as I went. Propblems did not occur until the line...
PrintPage += gcnew PrintPageEventHandler(PrintableBoard_PrintPage);
I had tried ...
PrintPage += gcnew PrintPageEventHandler(PrintableBoard_PrintPage);
PrintPage += gcnew PrintPageEventHandler(this, PrintableBoard_PrintPage);
PrintPage += gcnew PrintPageEventHandler(&PrintableBoard_PrintPage);
PrintPage += gcnew PrintPageEventHandler(this, &PrintableBoard_PrintPage);
PrintPage += gcnew PrintPageEventHandler(Namespace::PrintableBoard::PrintableBoard_PrintPage);
PrintPage += gcnew PrintPageEventHandler(&Namespace::PrintableBoard::PrintableBoard_PrintPage);
PrintPage += gcnew PrintPageEventHandler(this, Namespace::PrintableBoard::PrintableBoard_PrintPage);
but I missed...
PrintPage += gcnew PrintPageEventHandler(this, &Namespace::PrintableBoard::PrintableBoard_PrintPage);
Which is the correct syntax because now it will compile. The other combinations just give similar error messages.
Thanks a lot, chances are that I would not have gone back and realized that there was one combination of arguments that I had not tried.

Hi Buck,
the fact is I never did any C++/CLI so I gave it a single try which obviously
failed, then read the MSDN page on Paint event, and copied what was in the example.
It is good to do some experiments, it is even better to combine them with
reading some documentation. And when new at a language it really pays to buy
and study a book on it (I have the book, just haven't read it yet).

Hi Luc,
Trust me, I spend half my day reading documentation. I do have a little issue that may be a circular dependency. Taking the Sokoban projects Board.cs file and modifying it to be C++ code I have remarked out the guts of the functions and everything compiles just fine. In the 'Board' class there is a function named
public: void Print() {
PrintDocument^ printDoc = gcnew PrintableBoard(this) // unremark out this one line
};
The class 'PrintableBoard' is defined after the 'Board' class. If I leave the single line in the Print() function I get an "error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'PrintableBoard'". Is this a C++ vs. C# issue?
Thanks
Buck

Okay, I had been trying to use a forward declaration with no luck but I must have gotten the location of the forward decalration in the right place because now it will compile.
Buck

So I can ignore both messages then?
I am unaware of any circular reference stuff, I never had such a problem in C#;
I do recall C needed forward declarations once in a while, I trust C++ is the same.

Hi Buck,
I just learned C++ needs two arguments ina delegate constructor, the first one
being "this".
The following code compiles:
namespace test3 {
using namespace System;
using namespace System::ComponentModel;
using namespace System::Collections;
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;
using namespace System::Data;
using namespace System::Drawing;
using namespace System::Drawing::Printing;
public ref class PD : public System::Drawing::Printing::PrintDocument {
public:
PD(void) {
this->PrintPage+=gcnew PrintPageEventHandler(
this, &test3::PD::pdm);
}
void pdm(Object^ sender, PrintPageEventArgs^e) {
}
};
}
That's my longest C++/CLI program ever. Hope it helps.

Hi,
I have an application in C# which allocates 200MB of data from the unmanaged heap using the
[DllImport("kernel32")]
static extern void* HeapAlloc(int hHeap, int flags, int size);
I have another fucntion
[DllImport("cppwrapper.dll")]
private extern static int test(IntPtr DataOut, out string ErrorOut);
I want to pass the the pointer returned by HeapAlloc into the test function using the parameter DataOut instead of string as I run into OutofmemoryException randomly(There is a limitation on the managed heap). But I am constantly getting the system.accessviolation exception.
The body of test method looks like
SOME_API int test(LPSTR* DataOut, LPSTR* ErrorOut)
{
return _lpsomefunction(DataOut, ErrorOut);
}
Can someone guide me in the right direction...

Hi,
it would be more accurate to use:
[DllImport("kernel32")]<br />
static extern IntPtr HeapAlloc(IntPtr hHeap, int flags, int size);
since both hHeap and the return value are pointers (hence 4B on Win32 and 8B on Win64,
exactly what IntPtr gives you).
As such you can pass the return value to your test method.
But then I am puzzled as to why you would use HeapAlloc at all.
You could allocate a byte array of the same size, and use GCHandle class
to "pin" it in memory, then get its pointer (which is an IntPtr obviously).
That way you get managed memory that will not move, and will live until
you Free the GCHandle.

Sorry if this bothered you. Since there was some C++ involved in the problem so I posted this question.

No problem I was just giving Luc a hard time.

Hi Mark,
no we are not colonizing the C++/CLI forum  ; I just copied and improved two lines
of code from the OP and introduced some .NET stuff that exists for all CLR
languages AFAIK.
If, however I had known at that time that the identical question was posted
in the C# forum, I would have answered it there (identically). As it is, I told him
overthere not to duplicate stuff...
Please feel free to adjust whatever I may have messed up language wise.

Thanks a lot for the reply.
I will try and see if it works.

Sometimes I have to allocate more than 500 MB of data. In such situations I run into OutOfMemoryException.
The real problem here is a third party API I am using expects string as an input parameter which can sometimes be as large as 800 MB.
That why I am using HeapAlloc. HeapAlloc has worked fine for me so far without any problems.

OK
I hope you don't forget to release that memory eventually...
You probably should make a managed object that allocates, pins, provides the
pointer, and has a Dispose/finalizer/destructor to make sure it gets freed too.
You might want to look at the LP_Pinner class in my TrayIconBuster article.

I do a HeapFree everytime. Actually I am running this on a Grid environment with 1000's of items and each item is memory intensive and each item sometimes goes beyond 1.5 GB. But after every run the memory comes back to 60 mb or so.
I will try whatever you said.
Thanks again for all the valuable information.

This is purely a guess on my part, but perhaps you might consider using VirtualAlloc instead of HeapAlloc?
Maybe the VirtualAlloc will be able to provide all the memory you need without OutOfMemory exceptions.

1. I am writing a program to access parallel port in Windows XP.
2. taking help from net i found a program called UserPort which opens ports.
3. Using a small program in C using stdio and conio include files i could access the port.
4. However the problem is i have to write code in C++ and when i try to compile the same code in C++ as a .cpp file the compiler gives an error saying "_outp undeclared " and " sleep undeclared". the sme code compiles properly in c using same IDE.
5. I am using Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2. I cant use any other compiler.
6. My code is given below as a c file
/*********************************************
binary counter : This will count from 0 to 255 This takes printer port address as 0x378 and pauses for 250 mS between every count
**********************************************/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h> /*required for _outp*/
int main()
{
int x;
for(x = 0;x<=255;x++)
{
_outp(0x378,x);
sleep(250);
}
return 0;
}
7. Pl help. Its urgent.

I'm not sure why you'd post this on a Managed Visual C++ message board.
In Visual C++, the CRT function _outp() is declared in <conio.h>
I can't see what header files you've included in your code.
There's a Sleep() (with a capital S) Windows API
