But you should be handling HDN_BEGINTRACKA and HDN_BEGINTRACKW in a CHeaderCtrl-derived class instead.

Hi..
If you want to fix the width of columns even if user resize them, then use handle NM_CUSTOMDRAW .
in this message handler you again write the code for width of columns

void Cxyz::OnNMCustomdrawListFunc(NMHDR *pNMHDR, LRESULT *pResult)<br />
{<br />
	LPNMCUSTOMDRAW pNMCD = reinterpret_cast<LPNMCUSTOMDRAW>(pNMHDR);<br />
	m_list.SetColumnWidth(1,50);<br />
        m_list.SetColumnWidth(2,50);<br />
<br />
	*pResult = 0;<br />
}

UDP socket

Hi there,

I working on an application that uses UDP socket to transfer data, how can I make sure if there is a connection problem? for TCP I get socket connection errors but for UDP, I do not get any error and I need a way to make sure the connection is up or be notified that there is no connection.

Regards,

It's all up to you to determine whether UDP datagrams get sent and arrive at the other end.
TCP/IP does that for you, which is why it's able to report connection errors.
There's no "connection" with UDP, so it's not possible to have a connection error.

Make an occassional "pulse" check of the clients, send pulse ACKs from the clients. Write some algo to check if the packets did get assemble at the right order. Make a protocol that takes care of these issues and retransmit the lost/unorderd ones, there you go! You've got TCP on hand :P

Hi there,

it is possible to use connected UDP sockets, however the information you get is limited. Using connect on a UDP socket (it will not cause any network traffic) together with send (instead of the usual sendto) allows you to get asynchronous error information... e.g. 'connection refused' if the target peer is not listening on given UDP port. It is pretty much limited to that. I am not sure what kind of "connection problems" you wish to detect, but UDP is not very reliable and if you want to make sure that no data is lost or recover from temporary network outages you need to write your own protocol to detect/correct such cases. As a short note, TCP provides this and more for free. Smile | :)

Thanks for the reply,

The problem is that we have some wireless mobile devices that are talking to a windows application via UDP sockets using SIM card (GPRS), sometimes the mobile device can not send any message to the application and the application does not know if the socket is down or not! I need to get notified in my application about the network issue (socket disconnection...)

thanks,

Unfortunately, this information is not provided with UDP.

You need to implement a heart beat (or use an existing library that does it for you). Maybe you can implement a simple solution where the Windows application will mark any mobile device "disconnected" which hasn't sent anything within a time intervall. The next time the mobile device sends something it will be marked "connected" again.

Hope it helps!

I would like to know the behavior of strlen() when an uninitilized char array is passed as a parameter

char my_str[6];
int len = strlen(my_str);
HKEY hKey;
RegOpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Analog Devices\\SMWDMIF\\Settings",&hKey);
RegQueryValueEx(hKey, "Mode", 0, NULL, (LPBYTE)my_str, &len);

what value would len have when the above code gets executed? Will it cause any compiler/runtime errors?

still, it searches for the '\0' character.

len = number of character preceeding a '\0' character.

koumodaki wrote:
RegQueryValueEx(hKey, "Mode", 0, NULL, (LPBYTE)my_str, &len);

here it expects the buffer size not the string len.

Re: behavior of strlen()

koumodaki12-Mar-08 5:36

but '\0' is not present. So how does it know the end of the char array? what value gets stored in len?

It is, just not at the location you desire. For example, if my_str resides at memory address 0x1234, then strlen() will start counting from that locaton until it finds a '\0' character. Use your debugger to see this in action.

my_str is actualy buffer to store the registry key data. Since I am using strlen() to ge the buffer size, I wanted to know the side-effects of using the function this way.
Also I have not initilized my_str to any value. As far as I know only memory is alocatd by the compiler when I define the array. So can I safetly assume that the variable len = 6, the size of decalred array?

strlen() dos not get the size of anything. Use sizeof instead.

koumodaki wrote:

At a minimum, the program won't work.

koumodaki wrote:

But it does get initialized, whether you did it or not.

You can, but you'd be wrong.

buffer size and string len cannot interpretted same.

size of array is the buffer size here.

koumodaki wrote:

yes, but if your regvalue string length is greater than 5 you won't get the complete string.

Query about Tray Icon

Hi all,
I have developed a dialog based application. In CMyDialog::OnInitDialog() i wrote code to add TrayIcon.

HICON hIcon = NULL;
m_NotifyIconData.cbSize = sizeof(NOTIFYICONDATA);
m_NotifyIconData.hWnd = m_hWnd;
m_NotifyIconData.uID = IDR_MAINFRAME;
m_NotifyIconData.uFlags = NIF_ICON | NIF_MESSAGE | NIF_TIP;
m_NotifyIconData.uCallbackMessage = ID_TRAY_MESSAGE; //WM_USER + 1
hIcon = (HICON) LoadIcon(AfxGetInstanceHandl(),MAKEINTRESOURCE (IDR_MAINFRAME));
m_NotifyIconData.hIcon = hIcon;
strcpy(m_NotifyIconData.szTip, "My Tray Icon");
Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_ADD, &m_NotifyIconData);
if (hIcon)
DestroyIcon(hIcon);

It successfully added Tray Icon to the Notification area.

My sample application is running well. But, when i kill windows "explorer.exe" process from task manager and start "explorer" again, TrayIcon is missing in Notification area. I want Tray icon to be added again in this scenario. How to do this?

Thank you...
