Why do you need the console window if you are just going to hide it? Maybe you want a windowless application?

Actually i have receive several opinion from google and also other forums saying that why do i need a console application if we were just going to hide it. Thinking and thinking i still could not understand why.  . As for my application here, actually what im trying to do is a software agent which will communicate and send information packets to the server for every 5 minutes. (This is where i need a timer to solve this). So this software agent is located at client side where it must be invisible to the user for security reason. The reason i choose win32 Console application as the client application side (software agent) is because I dont have any intention to put any graphical icon to the application. It is pure text based. So I just wanna hide the dos window (text based) so that user did not even know that the program is running background. Is there any option @ API that can help me accomplish this requirement?

Hello, i have a problem.
I am currently developing software for several platforms in msvc 7.1. It seems its not possible to add a platform of your own definition by just "adding" it in the configuration manager, only the predefined platforms works, such as Win32, x64, etc. If you type a name of your own in the platform field when creating a new one, you cant select that platform for any of the projects when you want to setup new debug/release configurations for that platform.
Must a new platform somehow be registered with visual studio?
Thanks
Peter

Well, there's more to a platform choice than a name. It's associated with all sorts of thngs. Which compiler, debugger, virtual machines (ie PDA emulator), etc.
So I think there will have to be all sorts of settings associated with them. Which reinforces your idea about registering a platfrom with VS.
How you do *that* is another question. (For someone cleverer than me).

Dear Friends,
I m working VC++ where UNICODE is not defined for tht particular application.
I want to display "Name (DownArrow)" as a caption on a control. here Downarrow means the picture of downarrow.
I tried in a following way.
CString s1, s2;
s1 = _T(2193);
s2 = "PickUp" + s1;
But for S1 it is giving me the character with value as 255.
Can anybody help me out?/
I can use painting tht control but i don't want to do that..
Thanks in advance

what are you expecting with this ?

|
|

in character map this value corresponds to downarrow.. so i thought by doing
s1 = _T(2193); i m ay get tht value as CString in s1...
|
|

|

do you know what the _T() macro does ?
it simply prepends a L in front of the string (because you're supposed to pass it a literal string, not an integer) if UNICODE is defined, and does nothing otherwise.

Oh no. Prepends nothing in his case.

You're trying to do a pretty weird thing.
Since your application is not set as a UNICODE build, the macro _T expands to nothing and you'll get s1 = (2193);
and this shouldn't ever compile.
BTW UNICODE value for down arrow is 0x2193, i.e. 8595.

Hi All
is there anyway to stop the Open File - Security Warning from not appearing
when someone first uses my application ?
You can get round this after by remove the tick, in the check box
but i would rather it not appear at all
Can anyone help

Hi Experts,
How can I rename a file thorugh any API.
|
|
|
|
|
You can use of SHFileOperation or rename.
|
|
|
|
|
I used the code below but it does not rename the source file even it creates another file (spacifies in To).
SHFILEOPSTRUCT sfo; <br />
ZeroMemory ( &sfo, sizeof (SHFILEOPSTRUCT)); <br />
sfo.wFunc = FO_RENAME ;<br />
sfo.pFrom = _T("g:\zz.txt\0");<br />
sfo.pTo = _T("g:\pp1.txt\0");<br />
SHFileOperation(&sfo);
|
|
|
|
|
hmmm...
maybe remove the "\0" ?
|
|

sfo.pTo = _T("g:\pp1.txt\0");
Should be:
sfo.pFrom = _T("g:\\zz.txt");
sfo.pTo = _T("g:\\pp1.txt");

i have a
CSocket SomeSocket; variable declared globally in a "one.h" file.I have inlcuded this one.h in one.cpp as
#include "one.h"
I used this SomeSocket in another two.h files where i have included the file
#include "one.h"
now i get a linker error stating
two.obj : error LNK2005: "CSocket SomeSocket" (?xst@@3UGlobals@@A)
already defined in one.obj
what was the mistake.

You need to put include guards in your header file:
#ifndef YOURFILE<br />
#define YOURFILE<br />
<br />
<br />
#endif
(replace YOURFILE by something unique, like the file name).
You could also use #pragma once for microsoft compiler.

you have to declare it extern inside your include file (i.e. "one.h")
extern CSocket SomeSocket;
and then define once inside a single source file (e.g. in your "one.cpp").
CSocket SomeSocket;
The mistake is in your include file: as it stands CSocket SomeSocket is defined in multiple source files.

CPallini has given you the correct answer.
But I see this mistake a lot with novice programmers.
The linker is complaining because (as it says) you have two instances of SomeSocket.
Before the compiler attacks you "one.c" file, a preprocessor attacks it, and processes the includes.
An easy exercise for you: remove the #include from one.c, and cut and paste the whole of one.h into the top of one.c.
Do this for two.c. Now have a lightbulb moment as you realise what the linker is telling you.
Iain.
