Re: Using VC++ 2008 compiler with VC++ 2005, but keep compatibility with Win98 ?

Do you just copy the relevant compiler files:

c1.dll
c1xx.dll
c2.dll
cl.exe

or should the whole bin folder be copied ?

either provide every linked dll or static link the dependencies...

but don't copy the compiler itself !!!

humm, it seems i misunderstood your original question. unfortunately, no, you can't use VC++2005 compiler with VS2008 (or vice versa). but you still can compile an application targetting Win98 with VC++2005 or VC++2008

As I understand it, the Visual C/C++ 2008 runtime libraries no longer support Win98 though, so it won't run on Win98, even if it's targetted for Win98. Is this not the case ?

Just use your 2008 and set the _WIN32_WINNT and WINVER variables to indicate that you want to target Win98 (0x0410)

This won't work because the Visual C/C++ runtime library doesn't support Win98.

Be aware that the smaller code in VS 2008 is probably due to the NOWIN98 linker setting being automatic. In VS 2005 you can set this in the linker optimization properties. Your app will run slightly slower on Windows 98 as a result, but it will run.

Possible solution to getting VC++ 2008 compiled apps to run on Win98...

I haven't tested it the method, which is to manually change the value of "MajorOperatingSystemVersion" in the PE header, but the original author had luck getting his app to run on NT 4. You may also have to manually calculate the "Checksum" value and change that as well:

resource.h corruption

Hi, In the past I've used a tool that analyzes a visual studio project's resource.h/rc files to ensure that they are not corrupted. (IE: No two resources share the same the ID.)

Does anyone else know of this tool? I forgot its name.

Thanks!

MDI child windows in the task bar

Hello,

Can anyone please tell me how to add my MDI child windows to the task bar so that when a user has multiple documents open they all appear in the task bar like in Word or Excel. I've tried setting the WS_EX_APPWINDOW style of my CMDIChildWnd derived classes but this doesn't seem to work.

Thanks!

What you are looking for is an MSDI model instead of an MDI.

0xC000001D "Fatal Application Error" ????

Trupti Mehta24-Jun-08 2:50

24-Jun-08 2:50

Hello,

In eVC++ with WinCE5 on ARMV4I, the application is developed.
In my Property Sheet, in a page, on a button click the program executes the following code.

void CPPage1::GetData() {

	bool result = true;

	// CONVERT STRING TO INT
	CString csValue;
	GetDlgItem(IDC_OpNo_EDIT)->GetWindowText( csValue );
	m_opNo = atoi((char*)(LPCTSTR)csValue);

	csValue.Format(_T("%d"), m_opNo);
	AfxMessageBox(csValue);

	// Search operator no
	OperatorDetails od;
	od = g_db->GetOperDetails(m_opNo);

	CString s(_T("Map Count = "));
	s.Format(_T("%s %d \n %s %s"), s, g_db->GetOperMapCount(), _T("Page1::Got OD"), od.GetOperName());
	AfxMessageBox(s);

	if (od.GetOperatorNo() == 0 && od.GetOperName() == "") {
		AfxMessageBox(_T("Operator No Not found. Check Out!"),MB_ICONWARNING);
		result = false;
	} else if (od.GetOperName() == "") {
		AfxMessageBox(_T("Error Reading Data!"),MB_ICONWARNING);
		result = false;
	}else {
		CString nm = od.GetOperName();
		m_name = nm;
		GetDlgItem(IDC_NAME_LABEL)->SetWindowText(nm);
		AfxMessageBox(nm);
		EnableConfirm(true);
	} 

	if (result == false) {
		m_opNo = 0;
		GetDlgItem(IDC_OpNo_EDIT)->SetWindowText(_T(""));
		GetDlgItem(IDC_OpNo_EDIT)->SetFocus();
	}
	return;
}

g_db is an extern variable pointer to an object. I don't get any compiler/liner etc error or warnings. OnApply is called, everything is executed & then I get "Fatal Application Error" window saying application has performed an illegal operation & will be shut down. If problem continues contact vendor. Exception: 0xC000001D Address: 0050328.

If I avoid the above code, then I don't get this exception. Since it is a WincE with eVC application, I can't debug more to know where & what excatly the error line is. Can anyone help me know, what is illegal in the above code which happens to raise this exception.

Thanks

Terry

No, I don't quite get it. Can't you use ActiveSync and debug the application straight from your IDE? You could as well use simple message boxes or a log file to analyze at what point the application terminates.

Rajesh, I use eVC++ & run the application via ActieSync. But I believe that I cannot debug in this scenario. Like On Abort/Retry/Ignore, press Retry & the debugger will come on the error line. No that's not possible.

What all AfxMessageBox, you see all are for debugging purpose only mainly.

Thanks

Before or after the calls to AfxMessageBox()?

<pre>
BOOL CPPage1::OnApply()
{
// TODO: Add your specialized code here and/or call the base class
AfxMessageBox(_T("CPPage1:: OnApply\n"));

g_pView->SendMessage(WM_USERAPPLY);
return TRUE; //CPropertyPage::OnApply();
}

LRESULT CMC_AppView::OnUserApply(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
TRACE(_T("VIEW::OnUserApply - wParam %x\n"), wParam);
CString t("Operator No = ");
AfxMessageBox(t); // m_sheet.m_page1.m_opNo);
// m_sheet.SetAttributes();
m_sheet.EndDialog(IDOK);
return 0;
}</pre>

OnApply calls the OnUserApply. I get the "Operator No = " AfxMessage & then the fatal error comes.

Thanks

What happens if you remove either of these two statements?

Afx.. was from first. Error is coming from the code attached in first message & in the mean while had also added EndDialog. Will try removing EndDialog & check out next week.
On research I have known that this exception stands if soething is not closed properly. Do you see any other possibility in the attached code or eVC has any internal problem accessing an more than 1 external object which does all database related activitlies. But the methods used here just does retriving objects from map which has all records read from the file.

Thanks

I believe WinCE5 uses Unicode, and you have MOST of your code set for that (by using the _T macro).

However, this line

Trupti Mehta wrote:
m_opNo = atoi((char*)(LPCTSTR)csValue);

is not Unicode. Use

m_opNo = _tstoi((LPCSTSTR)csValue);

instead.

Hope that helps.
