How so ?
Actually I think that it would't be that hard after all. There is some parts of the source code, that I can't change, but I think that there is no printing in those parts. Would I be able to use fprintf with my own stream?
Those examples just seemed pretty easy, but maybe it's not that simple, especially in this case.

No, a stream is safer and more elegant than that. cout is a stream. You can do this
MyEditStream << "This text will go to my window along with the number " << 7 << " and any other type I choose to define an operator for";
streams *rule*

Actually I thought that the first parameter of fprintf was stream, but I guess it's not. I know more about streams, but these printf:s and so on I don't. Part of this program has to be written in C, so...

Like I said, about a half hour coding. Add an hour for the text, I'll knock it over tomorrow night as a warmup to the work I want to do for myself.

No. I have to separate some parts anyway with #ifdef WIN32. I prefer C++, so I'll use it as often as possible.

I think I didn't make my deadline, but the article is up. It contains a header file that you can include, and the example code shows how to use it to stream into an edit box. The project uses MFC, but the stream itself does not ( I did not know if you used MFC, so I did not ).

Well, it's a good thing that we're not at school and I'm not your teacher
I read the article and now I'll go through the code. The article seemed very useful, not only for this case, but also for the future. Thank you once again!

To redirect printf is not that easy. I tried it the time I was writing the article
CEditLog - fast logging into an edit control with cout (which should also be quite useful to you), but failed. The internal structure of CRT streams (FILE*) is undocumented and to get it out of the sources is quite a long way.
However, If you have all sources available, the solution could be quite easy:
1) Write a printf-compatible function that prints out the output into the edit:
int printf_edit( const char* pszFormat, ... )
{
...
}
2) Add the following definitions to your stdafx.h (or in front of every .cpp file):
#undef printf
#define printf printf_edit
and recompile the whole thing.

I want to program a simple spreadsheet program, where can I find any resource, like source code and data format. Especially the format, what are the basic elements should a spreadsheet file contains?

Stingray offer a product which is essentially MS Excel 2000. You get the source code and can compile to lib or ctrl.
Alternative you need to start of with a Grid Clickerty and you'll need a parse and expression engine and if you want to support VB script you'll need a VB Scripting engine.

I have a ISAPI extension, which I suppose run in security account
of IUSR_MACHINENAME. For accessing a database located on
another server, I must change the user to an account which has rights in database.
Is this possible? I know is possible to "create a process as user"
but I don't know about changing the user during process running.
If I'm on a wrong way of thinking, which are the possibilities?
Regards,
Don

It is not possible to change the security context of a running process. However, you could use impersonation to change the context of your current thread, which is actually what you want to do
For this you have to get a proper impersonation token from somewhere. You can get such a token via some IPC mechanisms (like NamedPipes, RPC, DCOM) or by calling LogonUser(). However, I doubt that IUSR_MACHINENAME has the necessary privileges to call LogonUser().

Thanks Daniel,
You give me some good ideeas, with LogonUser(). If IUSR_... has not enough ritghts, I'll include it in Administrators group, and maybe
will work.

Uh, oh - I would double think about that. It's the sense of special IUSR_xxx accounts that they are low privileged and therefore your Inet apps do open a big security hole. I don't have much knowledge about all this IIS stuff, but maybe you could configure it to run your ISAPI in another user context than IUSR_xxx. That would be much better, because no other extensions are affected.

I've a COM object in VC++ that has setData(PBYE* pdata, int nsize) function. What's the equivalent of it in IDL, so in VB it can pass the data to the COM.
Moreover, what's the way VB pass the data to it ?
|
|
|
|
|
what is PBYE ? If you want to pass a string into COM it will need to be a BSTR. VB will convert a string literal or value for you, AFAIK.

Sorry, it should be PBYTE (in C++, a pointer to byte). I'm not going to pass String values, I want to pass binary data to an COM object.

I want to make a serial port communication program. I define a STRUCT variable
struct _COMM_PACK
{
char sID[PACK_ID_LEN];
BYTE cCmdCode;
UINT nVerifySum;
int nDataLen;
BYTE cData[MAX_DATA_LEN];
}aSendPack;
and want to send 'aSendPack'in the Mscomm control-comm like:
comm.SetOutput(aSendPack);
but the SetOutput need a VARIANT variable
how can I do that?
thanx!
|
|
|
|

! DONT use the MSCOMM control !
If you have to one would...
aSendPack var;
ZeroMemory(&var,sizeof(var));
var.cCmdCode = 0x0100;
etc. etc.....
and finally
comm.SetOutput((char*) &var);

Hello,
I am using Installshield for VC++ 6.0 to build a setup program for my program. I was wondering how can I add a shortcut in the startmenu for my programs exe file in the start menu.
Right now .. I am using the follwing code to make the icon in the startmenu
svPath = TARGETDIR ^ "TDMS2000.exe";
LongPathToQuote ( svPath , TRUE );
AddFolderIcon (FOLDER_PROGRAMS^SHELL_OBJECT_FOLDER , "TDMS2000" , svPath , "" , "" , 0 , "" , REPLACE );
But there is a problem with this code. My program needs a .dat file to start that resides in the same directory as the exe file. So when I follow the link created in my start meny using the code above .. the program fails to see that .dat file. When I create a shortcut manually and place it in the start menu .. the program works file.
I will really appreciate any solution to this problem. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Anjum.

I think the problem is not with the insatalshield but in ur application code..
Ur reading for sat file may be wrong..(i.e)The path u have given for reading the .dat file is relative with ur exe....So the application is searching is the oath where start menu short cut resides....
U have to explictily give the full path of ur exe dor reading the .dat file..
If u can give the code for reading of .dat file and i can clearly analaysis the problem 
cheers,
Super

Mani,
Thanks for your response. Yes, I am using a relative path, but I was doing it thinking that since the user may choose to install the my program under any folder, I should give a relative so that it will be able to open the my .dat file as long as they are together in one folder regardless of the folder chosen by the user during installation.
When I manually create a short cut of my EXE file and put it on the desktop or in the start menu .. it reads the .dat file fine. I was thinking that an icon created by the setup program should work the same way.
I am attaching my code. Thanks for looking into it.
<br />
char *pszFileName="config.dat";<br />
char pszIName[256];<br />
CFile myFile;<br />
CFileException fileException;<br />
if ( !myFile.Open( pszFileName, CFile::modeRead, &fileException ))<br />
{<br />
::MessageBox(NULL, "File doesnt exist ","Warning",MB_OK);<br />
<br />
}
Also I have a trivial question. Why do I have to put :: before Messagebox function sometimes to make it work. Sometimes it is works without the dots.
As you can probably see that I do lack some of basic knowledge of MFC.
Thanks for your help!
Sincerely,
Anjum.
