I'm very rusty - haven't coded C/C++ since 1994 - and I'm sure there's a simple answer, but I can't find it.
I'm not using 'string' support. Just the old char* methods, and the code is behaving well except when I tried to convert a keyboard virtual key code to a it's ascii character I got a runtime access violation.
The 'break' option showed me the site of the infraction - inside some MS code located in the midst of some UNICODE related logic, judging by the Defines.
I included <ctype.h>, but it didn't help.
The related trimmed code follows:
char c;
c = (char)__toascii(keyCode);
keyCode = p->vkCode;
The offending later statement is:
nLen = fprintf(fOut,"kcK=%d ud=%s kc=%d sh=%d ti=%d %s\n",cb.kcK,updn,keyCode,Shift,tick, c);
The following statement works perfectly (as above, but no c at the end)
nLen = fprintf(fOut,"kcK=%d ud=%s kc=%d sh=%d ti=%d %s\n",cb.kcK,updn,keyCode,Shift,tick);
Searched the articles and FAQ but didn't find anything.
Hope you can give me a hand here.
BTW, I want to stay in the char* arena rather than strings, for now.
I'm using Visual C++ 2003 and running Win2K SP4
One more thing - I'm logged in under my old email glyfyx@storm.ca but I have a new address, glyfix@storm.ca. I guess I should change it at Code Project?
Thanks

If c is a char, you should use %c. That's all.

No, not needed. Simply this way is fine.
char a = 65;
printf("%c \n", a);

Of course, %c for char! I was sure it had a simple answer but couldn't see it for looking - most embarrassing. Too many years of VB?
So big thanks Maxwell and Mark! Also Mark, I was starting to think of assembling a 2 byte char array as you suggested - that'd work with %s.
Also special thanks to Rajkumar R for the ToAscii suggestion, which is intriguing to say the least, since it requires a GetKeyboardState call to set its 256 byte array arg, lpKeyState, to the current status of *all* the virtual keys. I would have thought GetKeyState for just the virtual key in question (1st arg, uVirtKey),would be sufficient.
I suppose ToAscii will be a case-sensitive conversion - will give it a shot and see what happens.
int ToAscii(
UINT uVirtKey,
UINT uScanCode,
PBYTE lpKeyState,
LPWORD lpChar,
UINT uFlags
);
Here's the MSDN article...

Thanks again everyone!

if you are converting from Keyboard Virtual KeyCode, use
int ToAscii(
UINT uVirtKey,
UINT uScanCode,
PBYTE lpKeyState,
LPWORD lpChar,
UINT uFlags
);

format specifier is %s and passing char, c.

The arguments you pass to fprintf() need to match the format specifiers in the
format control string, in both type and number of arguments.
All the "%d"s in the format control string need a corresponding 32-bit integer argument passsed...
All the "%s"s in the format control string need a corresponding pointer to a null-terminated string passed.
The version where you don't pass the c argument only appears to work, since you pass 5 arguments
when the format control string specifies an expected 6 arguments.
The version that crashes probably fails because c is a char but the format specifier is %s, which means
the passed argument should be a pointer to a NULL-terminated string, not a single character.
If you do something like this, it should work:
char c<font color="Red">[2]</font>;
c<font color="Red">[0]</font> = (char)__toascii(keyCode);
<font color="Red">c[1] = '\0';</font>
keyCode = p->vkCode;
...
nLen = fprintf(fOut,"kcK=%d ud=%s kc=%d sh=%d ti=%d %s\n",cb.kcK,updn,keyCode,Shift,tick, c);

Hi all
I am locking a file.First times it locks..but second time if i want to unlock..it is not unlocking the file..plz help me ..here is the code....
int LockFile(char *cFileName, bool bLock)
{
int iFile;
if(bLock)
{
iFile = _open(strcat(cFileName, ".lck"), _O_CREAT | _O_EXCL | _O_RDWR);
_close(iFile);
if(iFile < 0)
{
printf("File locked by another process");
return -1;
}
printf("File is locked for writting");
return iFile;
}
else
{
iFile = remove(strcat(cFileName, ""));
if(iFile == -1)
{
printf("Error in file unlocking");
return -1;
}
printf("File unlocking successfull");
}
return iFile;
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
char strFilePath []= {"E:\\Add_Modified_ENG\\test.txt"};
char *cFilePath = strFilePath;
int i = LockFile(strFilePath, true);
if(i != -1)
{
ofstream outfile(cFilePath, ios::app);
if(!outfile)
{
cout<<"Unable to open\n";
return 1;
}
outfile<<"Test";
outfile.close();
}
i = LockFile(strFilePath, false);
return 0;
}

I think you are creating a lock file; You are not locking a file.
sharanu wrote: iFile = _open(strcat(cFileName, ".lck"), _O_CREAT | _O_EXCL | _O_RDWR);
and
sharanu wrote: iFile = remove(strcat(cFileName, ""));
file names are different isn't it?
|

File names are same..in first
iFile = _open(strcat(cFileName, ".lck"), _O_CREAT | _O_EXCL | _O_RDWR);
I am caoncated the(.lck)i.e is locking the file...
In second i am remove the lock
iFile = remove(strcat(cFileName, ""));

yes, i just looked at LockFile function only, But then you are accessing the array beyond its size
char strFilePath []= {"E:\\Add_Modified_ENG\\test.txt"}; concatenation causes corrupted stack;
Any way your problem is you are creating the file in Read only permission, so remove(), DeleteFile() won't work unless you change the readonly attribute of the file.
try this.
iFile = _open(strcat(cFileName, ".lck"), _O_CREAT | _O_EXCL | _O_RDWR, _S_IREAD | _S_IWRITE);

Hi its not working .....
It is printing as "Test" in File

Now u are able to call the remove() successfully, Isn't it.
What you are trying to achieve? i already told change the read only attribute before remove().
_chmod() / SetFileAttributes() to change the readonly attributes.
If you want to lock a file, LockFile() / _locking()/_lock_file() API is there.

Hi,
I have changed the background color of my CToolBar. Now I would like to change the background color CToolBar's parent window which is AfxControlBar*. How could I do this ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

What exactly you trying to do??
Anyways simple way to change background color is Handle WM_CTLCOLOR message and return a brush of new color.
