Re: Can DLL developed in .NET be used in VS6 projects

It's normal C++ DLL, unmanaged. However, it depends on MFC and also C++ Runtime library, right ? So, I'm worrying how to let users of VS6 to use it.

Oh, hell, i really don´t know ... i do not even know how to find that out... this function has to do do with a CImageList, but i´m afraid you´re not doing stuff with MFC at the moment ... I´ll keep looking, hold on...

Found that :

ImageList_SetDragCursorImage

BOOL WINAPI ImageList_SetDragCursorImage(HIMAGELIST himlDrag,
int iDrag, int dxHotSpot, int dyHotSpot);

Description: The ImageList_SetDragCursorImage function sets the image of the dragged item.

Parameters:

himlDrag and iDrag: Handle of the image list and index of the image.

dxHotSpot and dyHotSpot: The coordinates of the image’s hot spot.

Return value: TRUE if successful; NULL otherwise.

Does it help ??

Help about "mciSendCommand" and MCI_GETDEVCAPS_CAN_RECORD

Antony B.19-Jul-02 4:10

19-Jul-02 4:10

I have used the mciSendCommand function in order to verify
if a CD-Rom unit is able to record data.

Syntax I have used is the following:

MCI_GETDEVCAPS_PARMS l_DevCaps;

......

l_DevCaps.dwItem = MCI_GETDEVCAPS_CAN_RECORD;

mciSendCommand(l_OpenParams.wDeviceID,
MCI_GETDEVCAPS,
MCI_GETDEVCAPS_PARMS,
(DWORD)(LPMCI_GETDEVCAPS_PARMS)&l_DevCaps);

Does someone know how this code doesn't work ???

C++ Memory Allocation a real headache

Blade Runner19-Jul-02 4:07

Blade Runner

19-Jul-02 4:07

Hi in my application I call GlobalMemoryStatus() to get the status of the virtual memory of my system. It returns the fact I have loads of virtual memory, Great!!. However when I call new() to try to allocate memory that is less then the virtual memory (allocating quite a large amount but still less then the virtual memory)it is returning NULL due to there not being enough memory available.

Does anyone have an explanation for why this is happening?

Thanks

Memory allocation will fail if you don't have the required amount of contiguous memory available. Try running my product MemWatcher (free download) and see if that helps. Sorry for the shameless plug, but I think it may help you.

This program only shows whats in Physical memory not virtual memory aswell. I know to memory I am trying to allocate is greater the just the physical memory but the virtual memory according to this GlobalMemoryStatus function shows it is big enough too allocate the memory.

Thanks anyway.

MemWatcher can free up memory that Windows mistakenly continues to flag as "in use", thereby possibly allowing more memory to be used by your program. However, if you try to allocate "x" bytes and there aren't "x" contiguous bytes available, the allocation will fail.

Unfortunately, simply increasing your virtual memory won't guarantee that it's actually usable, since none of the data currently in physical memory may be swappable.

Ms Word ATL ActiveX print size problem

Hi,

I have developed an ActiveX control using ATL, when I insert it and work with it in Ms Word 2000 it works perfect, but when I print it, depending on the screen resolution, the Word text is printed inside the control or in the right place or shifted Frown | :-(

I have tried the same in Word 2002 and it works fine. How can I fix this ? Is there any well know bug from ATL/Ms Word about this issue ?.

Thanks in advance

How to use rebar Chevrons in WTL?

19-Jul-02 3:36

For some reason I get a compiler error when I try to use chevrons in WTL. I define _WIN32_IE as 0x0500 (instead of 0x0400), but then I get the following error.

c:\...\wtl70\include\atlframe.h(274) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'lpnm'

I have IE version 6, I got VC 6 with service pack 4, and I got WTL 7.

What more do I need to get it working? As it looks like I'm missing a header file.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

I just tried this today and got the same error. Unfortunately, I do not know why either. I think (but am not sure) that maybe WTL7 is for .Net and that is why it may not work. I believe that there is an ATL 2.0, ATL 3.0 and 7.0 and a WTL 3.0 and WTL 7.0. The only thing I can figure, since there seems to be a major jump in version numbers, is that 7.0 is for .Net.

Can someone clarify or verify this?

Problems deserializing an object

19-Jul-02 3:23

Hi,

I am in the process of converting all my MFC projects from VS6 to VS.Net and I'm getting a peculiar problem. My programs seemed to convert fine (with a few minor code changes). However, when I run my app it turns out I am having problems deserializing an object of a type of class defined in an extension DLL. I get the following TRACE output "Warning: Cannot load CMyClass from archive. Class not defined".

On the MSDN, it says that this will be a problem when using an extension DLL from a regular DLL. However, I am using the extension DLL from a regular MFC application - which the MSDN says should work fine.

MSDN link here (New window)

Does anyone have any idea why I am getting this error? I would be very grateful if anyone could shed some light on this issue.

Many thanks,

Mike.

C++ syntax question

I was going through some C++ code and found this syntax:

Complex **_W;

I do not understand the ** notation. Is it a pointer to a pointer? How am I supposed to initialize such an object and access its member functions?

Thanks. Looking forward to some replies Smile | :)

Complex W;
Complex* pW = &W;
Complex** ppW = &pW;
//To dereference
Complex*pX = *ppW;
Complex X=**ppW;
//To access a member function (just guessing at the name of the member!)
double i=(*ppW)->i;
double j=(**ppW).j;

Easy really!

Hi,

I might not be the best at explaining this, but I'll try...

If you want to change a variable that is passed in to a function, you would pass it by pointer or by reference. In the same way, if you want to change a pointer that is passed in to a function, you could pass a pointer to a pointer.

Here is how you might do it:

// We hope that calling FindComplex will change the value of pFoo
Complex* pFoo = NULL;

// Pass a pointer to a pointer
FindComplex(&pFoo);

// Now pFoo may have changed
BOOL bChanged = (pFoo != NULL);

...

void FindComplex(Complex** pFoo)
{
Complex* pFound = NULL;

// Do some code here to find a Complex object and set pFound

*pFoo = pFound;
}

Hope this helps and I hope it's right!!

Drawing strings on GDI+ that are vertical bottom to top aligned!

Hi,

How can I draw strings with GDI+ that are are vertical bottom to top aligned!
I try things as SetFormat(StringFormatFlagsDirectionVertical | StringFormatFlagsDirectionRightToLeft) but the text is always top to bottom oriented.

Rotate the text, yourself

Jonathan de Halleux19-Jul-02 5:16

Jonathan de Halleux

19-Jul-02 5:16

Yep, that's a serious limitation of GDI+ but it can be easily overpassed by rotating yourself the text:

// defined somewhere
Graphics* m_pGraphics;

What you have to do is :
1. translate text to origin,
2. rotate,
3. translate back to position,

Let's go:
We create a graphic container to apply transformations

graphicsContainer = m_pGraphics->BeginContainer();

Doing steps 1,2,3 the order of matrix multiplication is important !

m_pGraphics->TranslateTransform(pointF.X,pointF.Y);
// angle is the angle you want to rotate your text in CCW turn with 0 = horizontal. Of course, in GDI+, Microsoft uses
// CW angle so it is not compatible with trigonometric functions :(
m_pGraphics->RotateTransform(-angle);
m_pGraphics->TranslateTransform(-pointF.X,-pointF.Y);

Draw the string

m_pGraphics->DrawString(str, -1, &font, pointF, &sf,&solidBrush);

Fold back transformations by getting out of the container

m_pGraphics->EndContainer(graphicsContainer);
