Did you try to debug the OCX project putting a breakpoint in the ReadBlk and see what is happening?

Thanku in advance,

The problem is in your approach on passing strings that actually are OUT parameters.
As simple solution you may mimic WIN32 API GetWindowText behaviour, i.e. for each string that must be filled by the ActiveX control, pass the pointer of a buffer (allocated by the client) and the buffer size to the control.
A simple example:
ActiveX code
BOOL ReadBlk(LPSTR MemId, LONG MemIdSize)
{
if ( !MemId || MemIdSize < 1)
return FALSE;
strncpy(MemId, "Hello Client!", MemIdSize-1);
MemId[MemIdSize-1]='\0';
return true;
}
Client code
const int SIZE=0x100;
CHAR MemId[SIZE];
m_ActiveX.ReadBlk((LPSTR) MemId, SIZE);

Exactly how are you expecting this to happen? You effectively have the following:
BOOL CACR120RWCtrl::ReadBlk( LPCTSTR MemId )
{
CString dStr;
...
MemId = dStr;
}In this context, the MemId can be changed to point to something else, but only within ReadBlk(). Once ReadBlk() goes out of scope, MemId goes back to pointing to whatever it pointed to before ReadBlk() was called. If you want MemId to point elsewhere, you'll likely need to change the parameters to char ** instead. You can also change it to a char * and use strcpy() to change its contents.

Of course you are right.
However I don't think passing a char ** will be the best approach there.
Probably passing an allocated buffer (like GetWindowText behaviour) will be better. I know it's a matter of taste but whenever the OP isn't an expert I'm afraid of suggesting the "server-memory-allocation, client-memory-deallocation" approach.

I never said it was. It was merely a suggestion for the OP to explore.

hi DavidCrow,
I modified Cstring to char** but the control is not passing.i modified in OCX project.but i am not getting anything.please tell me how can i do it.
PLEASE HELP ME.I am TRYING MY LEVEL BEST BUT I AM FED UP.PLEASE HELP ME.
I AM VERY THANK FUL TO U ALL.REALLY I LEARNED SO MUCH BUT I AM NOT GETTING ONLY THIS OUTPUT.i am having data in OCX but it is not returning to my project.PLEASE......

u only mentioned that if it is Cstring then data will pass to the parameters so i did like this.in ocx or in my project shall i change that data.
REPLY ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE:
Thakns in advance,

This makes no sense. Go back and read this thread again, and then reply with a bit more coherency.

hi
i have a newbie question
how to pause execution of a code block
without sleep effect
for example :
void somefunc()<br />
{<br />
SetWindowText(hWnd,"hello");<br />
WaitFor(5000); <br />
SetWindowText(hWnd,"good bye");<br />
}
when WaitFor() called, application must continue
execution other functions and application must response to other function calls
finally i don't want to  sleep complete application when waiting
thans

Use a timer for that. This will be different than your code snippet because the two calls to SetWindowText will be located in two different parts: the second one will be in response of a timer event.
You can't "wait" in a function a still continue to process messages from the UI (which is in the same thread), unless you pump the message loop, but it is quite ugly in your situation.

thanks for your quick reply
but it is a Dll how can i use a timer in a dll
is there any idea for that
when i call , a wait function from dll
i want to call another function from dll at a time
but first call freezes main application already
and dll is not responding
thanks

You can also use a multimedia timer. The timer callback will occur on
a different thread so you don't have to worry about your UI going dead
or pumping messages.

One technique that sometimes works is simply pumping the message que while waiting.
void YourClass::somefunc()
{
SetWindowText(hWnd,"hello");
SleepWithEvents(5000);
SetWindowText(hWnd,"good bye");
}
VOID YourClass::SleepWithEvents(int Millisecs)
{
ULONG Ticks = GetTickCount();
while(GetTickCount() < Ticks + Millisecs)
DoEvents();
}
VOID YourClass::DoEvents()
{
MSG oMSG;
while(::PeekMessage(&oMSG, NULL, 0, 0, PM_NOREMOVE))
{
if(::GetMessage(&oMSG, NULL, 0, 0))
{
::TranslateMessage(&oMSG);
::DispatchMessage(&oMSG);
}
else
{
break;
}
}
}
Best Wishes,

i tried it,but i could not figure it out,and not successed
but success one of my attempts, taken a sleep effect
can you show me a working example
|

i have a modeless dialog box. and in my first dialog box i have some values. the same values needs to be shown in the modeless dialog box also. i am getting an exception. not being able o figure out what it is.
i have created a member variable for the class and i can also access the members of the class. but i am not being able to pass the value.
in the second dialog box i have an edit control which is of type CString.

Did you try to debug your program to pinpoint where the problem occurs exactly ? Use the callstack to locate the problem in your code when the crash occurs.
Without having more information, we can't really help you. We need some relevant piece of code (don't paste the complete source files  ). If you can't fix the problem using your debugger, provide also the info you gathered with it.

i had added DoModal() which i should not have done.. now i am not getting that exception. but the value is not being updated on dialog2. but when i debug in the watch list the value is updating.

Please read my previous answer and provide the required information. I'm still not able to read what's written on your screen (although I'm trying hard, it's probably because of the distance...)
