Hi everyone, l'm currently working on linking a program to its GUI application. And l was wondering if executing the program from within the GUI code is the correct way to approach it. lf it is, can someone give me some suggestions as to how l should go about it? l've tried calling the system command in my code (eg. system("program < inputDataFile") ), but doing so will result in a black window popping up. l do not want to see a black window flash for a couple of seconds everytime l run my program, so l hope there is another way to do this.
Any comments will be appreciated, thanks!

To keep the black window from popping up, try WinExec with the SW_HIDE flag.
Even better would be to redirect output entirely, not to a file, but to a pipe. Nothing gets written to a drive this way... Microsoft has sample code for this, you'l find ithere.

For the following code
int DLLGetKeywords( char* keyBuf)<br />
{<br />
char buffer[] = " type1,depth,type2,range,type3*";<br />
*strchr(buffer,'*') = 0;
AfxMessageBox(buffer); <br />
char *pc,*pc1;<br />
for (pc = buffer ; *pc ; pc = strchr(pc,0) + 1) <br />
{<br />
<br />
char* pc1 = strchr(pc,',');
if (pc1) *pc1 = 0; <br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
strcpy(keyBuf,buffer);<br />
AfxMessageBox(buffer); //////////////msgbox2
The first msgbox has an output as expected: " type1,depth,type2,range,type3*"
The second msgbox has an output of "type1". Thats all.
ALl thats happening in the routine is that commas are being replaced by nulls. I thought that its because the msgbox only "reads" upto the first null. But when I go to populate a listbox with this buffer, (post messagebox2), i only get "type1" in it.
Any light on this mystery?
Thanks,

When you do this, you terminate the string. The array is filled with characters and nulls, but when you output them from the beginning, it only goes as far as the first null.

I suspected this. So how does one extract the words buried in a string which has nulls between words?
I have stuff like "abc\0aaa\0ddd\0" which is my attempt at saying I've got nulls between words? I'm using this:
<br />
void CTrain1View::popDisplayList(int popDisplayFlag, char * buffer)<br />
{<br />
if (popDisplayFlag)<br />
{<br />
char* pc;<br />
<br />
CString string;<br />
int nListIndex = 0;<br />
for (pc = buffer ; *pc ; pc = strchr(pc,0) + 1) <br />
{<br />
char* pc1 = strchr(pc,',');
if (pc1) *pc1 = 0;
string = pc;<br />
int nItem = m_listdisplay.InsertItem(nListIndex,string);<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
but my listbox gets one extra line of garbage after the first five (buffer has five words in it, commma delimited)entries. I dont see why.
Any clues? I do thank you for confirming my suspicion regarding the buffers condition after putting in the nulls.

My suggestion would be to use the 'strtok' function (string to token) on the original string with the commas. On the first call, you specify the source string and a set of delimiters (a comma, in your case) and the function returns a pointer (I think) to the first sequence of characters up to the specified delimiter. On subsequent calls, the source string is specified as NULL, as the function maintains its own buffer. Each consecutive call will return a pointer (I think) to the next sequence of characters up to the specified delimiter. When strtok returns NULL, there are no more tokens.
Two things:
1) strtok replaces the found delimiter with a NULL, which you don't have to worry at all about.
2) the set of delimiters can be changed on each call, if desired. This is handy for parsing a sequence where things are not always the same.

Thank you very much for the strtok - i didnt know about it. I appreciate your responses - they are most helpful!

Ugh, code like this is difficult to maintain and won't pass a review. Now back to our regularly scheduled broadcast...
The first msgbox has an output as expected: " type1,depth,type2,range,type3*"
This surprises me. The output shouldn't include the trailing asterisk.
The second msgbox has an output of "type1". Thats all.
That makes sense, because you've happened to have (eventually) replaced the first comma with a null byte. Btw, the loop logic (specifically the increment) is suspect. What do you want to have happen?

I was trying to extract words out of a buffer which has null terminators between words. I was supplying myself with a fake buffer of the sort I expect to get, to see if my code would process the buffer correctly. You are right - there was of course no * in the messageBox. In this thread char * got much clearer to me. I like CStrings better but I have to use whatever someone elses dll supplies. Thanks much.

Consider using strtok() to extract tokens from a C string. The tokens need to be delimited by a non-null char. If you're creating the string yourself, then this is easy. I usually use '`' or '~' as delimiters, because they stand out while debugging. Hope this helps!

I didn't see any documentation that you couldn't. I'd like one at the top and one at the bottom essentially taking up all of the client area. Is that possible?

 Has anyone seen this problem with ADO query:
select /*?*/ 1 from dual
Basically it seems if the query / proc / function contains question mark, ADO query will return "Wrong number of parameters" error message. Change ? to '?' will be fine, but that alter the code as well.
For instance, the following code will cause problem:
create or replace function aaa return number
value number;
is
begin
value := select sum(amount) /*Total Amount?*/ from bill_info;
return value;
end;
Has anyone know what is the right escape for question mark?
Thanks.;P

Simply remove the WS_EX_APPWINDOW style from your window.
MFC:
pWnd->ModifyStyleEx(WS_EX_APPWINDOW, 0);
Win32 API:
LONG lStyle = ::GetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE);
lStyle &= ~WS_EX_APPWINDOW;
::SetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, lStyle);

i have 2 methods that are using IWebBrowser2 to execute a print method from a com object that is hosted on a webpage. here is the code for the methods:
---------------------------------
STDMETHODIMP CTemplatePrinter::IEPrintNoPrompt(VARIANT varTemplateURL)
{
CComPtr<iolecontainer> spContainer;
CComPtr<iserviceprovider> spSP;
CComPtr<iwebbrowser2> spWB;
CComPtr<idispatch> spDisp;
CComPtr<ihtmldocument2> spDoc;
CComPtr<iolecommandtarget> spCT;
CComVariant vPTPath = varTemplateURL;
m_spClientSite->GetContainer(&spContainer);
spContainer->QueryInterface(IID_IServiceProvider, (void**)&spSP);
spSP->QueryService(SID_SWebBrowserApp, IID_IWebBrowser, (void**)&spWB);
spWB->get_Document(&spDisp);
spDisp->QueryInterface(IID_IHTMLDocument2, (void**)&spDoc);
spDoc->QueryInterface(IID_IOleCommandTarget, (void**)&spCT);
// ******* THIS IS WHERE IT'S GOING CRAZY!!!! ******* //
spCT->Exec(&CGID_MSHTML, IDM_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, &vPTPath, NULL);
return S_OK;
}
---------------------------------------
STDMETHODIMP CTemplatePrinter::IEPrint(VARIANT varTemplateURL)
{
CComPtr<iolecontainer> spContainer;
CComPtr<iserviceprovider> spSP;
CComPtr<iwebbrowser2> spWB;
CComPtr<idispatch> spDisp;
CComPtr<ihtmldocument2> spDoc;
CComPtr<iolecommandtarget> spCT;
CComVariant vPTPath = varTemplateURL;
m_spClientSite->GetContainer(&spContainer);
spContainer->QueryInterface(IID_IServiceProvider, (void**)&spSP);
spSP->QueryService(SID_SWebBrowserApp, IID_IWebBrowser, (void**)&spWB);
spWB->get_Document(&spDisp);
spDisp->QueryInterface(IID_IHTMLDocument2, (void**)&spDoc);
spDoc->QueryInterface(IID_IOleCommandTarget, (void**)&spCT);
// ***** IT CALLS THIS 2 TIMES? ******** //
spCT->Exec(&CGID_MSHTML, IDM_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_PROMPTUSER, &vPTPath, NULL);
return S_OK;
}
--------------------------
my question is: does anyone have any idea why the IOleCommandTarget::Exec method it going berzerk? when i call the method from a script, the first one keeps spooling pages into the printer, and the second one opens 2 print dialogs in a row...i also have another function for opening a print preview window that works fine....the only difference is my call to Exec is as follows:
spCT->Exec(&CGID_MSHTML, IDM_PRINTPREVIEW, OLECMDEXECOPT_PROMPTUSER, &vPTPath, NULL);
i've tried all that i can see...if i replace spCT->Exec(...) with
spWB->ExecWB(OLECMD_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPY_PROMPTUSER, &vPTPath, NULL);
it still does the same thing...i've even tryied without passing in the &vPTPath (printing template path) argument
i also know that the method is only getting called once...i tested this by also using spDoc to write some stuff out to pop up a message box every time it got called, and the message box only came up once, but the printing kept going...
any suggestions?

You must link with Winmm.lib.

Hello there,
I came back !!!!
NICE TO MEET ALL OF YOU 
Well, i have new question ... it's about finding a value in vector array !
As i know, find(one of STL functions) function could search in usual array very well ...
But how could i find a value in vector ???
Thanks in Advance
