Inside the code i need to convert the LPCWSTR to char[] ,anybody have a clue???

//
// Print the name of the user account.
//
wprintf(L"\t-- %s\n", pTmpBuf->usri3_name);

printf("\n equlilent string is [%s]\n ",(char*)pTmpBuf->usri3_name);
// here i get only single char

a simple cast is not enough, you need a string conversion, for instance using WideCharToMultiByte, see this sample.

Have you tried:

printf("\n equivalent string is [%S]\n ",(char*)pTmpBuf->usri3_name);

They don't necessarily hurt anything, but you might also consider removing those unnecessary #include statements.

//How to convert wide char
int iSize = WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP,0,pTmpBuf->usri3_name, -1, NULL, 0, NULL, NULL );
char* lpNarrow = new char[iSize];
lpNarrow[0] = 0;
iSize= WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0,pTmpBuf->usri3_name, -1, lpNarrow, iSize, NULL, NULL );
printf("\n equlilent string is [%s]\n ",lpNarrow);
delete [] lpNarrow;

//How to print wide char

Thanks David,

Hi,
I developed an application in MFC dialog,
where i am printing the Html page using ExecWB command.
The problem is, initially my application memory consumption is low.
But when i call print command (ExecWB) the memory usage rises
tremendously.
But for further execution of command its stable..!!

I am not getting whats the exact problem is..??
Plz help me in this regard..

Thanx in advance.

Maybe it's something internal to the ExecWB() function.

void CWebBrowser2::ExecWB(long cmdID, long cmdexecopt, VARIANT* pvaIn, VARIANT* pvaOut)
{
static BYTE parms[] =
VTS_I4 VTS_I4 VTS_PVARIANT VTS_PVARIANT;
InvokeHelper(0x1f6, DISPATCH_METHOD, VT_EMPTY, NULL, parms,
cmdID, cmdexecopt, pvaIn, pvaOut);
}

Actually its internally calling 'InvokeHelper' which may b using some
stack..

Can you show us what ExecWB() is doing?

someobj.ExecWB(OLECMDID_PRINT, 0 , NULL, NULL);

Whoops! I thought you had a different ExecWB() in your own namespace and asked for that code. I think agree with what David has said above.

I don't see any problem there.
Don't you like such a behaviour?
BTW What is ExecWB?

It's a method of both IWebBrowser2 and CHtmlView.

What might be going wrong?? is it starting any new Process??? if yes, can i stop it? This ExecWb takin up huge memory (~20MB). i am sure about the huge number i mentioned (checked it in Task manager's Memory Usage - windowsXP). Any help is most appreciated or is there any other way that I can Print the html document (I am using CWebBrowser2).

Probably nothing.

Probably not, since you see a huge increment of your application memory usage.

Why bother about. After all, it is doing the job for you.

I don't know a lightweight approach, I'm not an expert about. Maybe CWebBroweser2 support some kind of configuration, but it is only a guess.

Which can be deceiving. Read this, especially the last part.

Hi Guys,

A have a client/server application using sockets (TCP/IP) for all the IPC needs. I came across a very interesting problem the other day and is still quite stumped by it:

When the apps are running on a local pc with the network cable not connected, then the apps run fine and the performance is as expected.
However, when the pc is then connected onto the lan the apps suddenly start behaving eratically. They will crash for no reason, or the data transfers between the client and server will become very slow, or timeout and all weird things happen.
I then unplug the cable and voila, all is fine again.

I have tested lots of other network apps on that same pc and they all seem to work fine. Does anyone have any idea as to what may be wrong or where I can start looking for the problem ?

Thanks
