BeforeNavigate2 webbrowser form control

28-Jun-08 12:15

Why is the compiler looking for "OFWin" as an identifier when
"OFWin" is characters in a string?

This compiles for me:

static LPCTSTR szAppName= _T("OFWin");
WNDCLASSEX wce;
wce.lpszClassName = szAppName;

Also...

static LPCTSTR szAppName= L"OFWin"; // only compiles in Unicode builds

should be

static LPCTSTR szAppName= _T("OFWin");  // compiles in Unicode and non-Unicode builds

If you are talking about the Article here on CodeProject you should ask the question in the forum at the bottom of the article.

How do you reset StreamReader? There is no seek function.

Hi. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 C++/CLI. I have a file that has its contents read into an array, one line of the file per element of the array. There may be 10 elements to read or 10,000 elements to read. I would like to define the array size dynamically by reading each line of the file, counting until all the lines are read. Then I want to go back to the begining of the stream but there is no Seek() function. I tried streamReader->Close() and then another streamReader = gcnew StramReader(fileStream) but that doesn't work. Can I reset the streamReader back to the beginning?

Thanks
Buck

I think you can access the Seek method through the StreamReader's BaseStream property. I'm not by a C++ compiler so I can't test this.

Try this out:

FileStream* fs = new FileStream(S"YourFile.txt", FileMode::???, FileAccess::???);
StreamReader* sr = new StreamReader(fs);

sr->BaseStream->Seek(0, SeekOrigin::Begin);

I think you will also need to call sr->DiscardBufferedData() after the Seek or you will get unexpected results.

Thanks Robert,

Yes, that works.

The key here is the sr->DiscardBufferedData() otherwise the sr->BaseStream->Seek() function does nothing.

Executing a programm from my application

Hello guys,

I'm trying to execute a *.exe file from an own win api. Of course I looked through the internet but all i could find was ShellExecute() and CreateProcess() which, for any reason, don't work in VC++2008. Do I need to include any special library files or headers to get access to these functions, or is there another way to start a program from my win api?

Thanks ans best wishes,
Manfred

Hi,

if you want to create a process, maybe you should read up on the Process class?

ShellExecute()
Header - shellapi.h
Import library - shell32.lib

CreateProcess()
Header - Declared in Winbase.h; include Windows.h.
Library - Use Kernel32.lib.

Thanks, but you need windows.h in both cases.

I tried the ShellExecute() function with the included header and library, but nothing happens, the specified program didn't start.

<br />
#pragma once<br />
#pragma comment(lib, "shell32.lib")<br />
<br />
#include <windows.h><br />
#include <shellapi.h><br />
<br />
// ...<br />
<br />
char *pcOp = "open";<br />
char *pcPath = "calc.exe";<br />
ShellExecute(NULL, (LPCWSTR)pcOp, (LPCWSTR)pcPath, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL); <br />
</shellapi.h></windows.h>

As I run this code I didn't get any error messages but nothing happened.
What am I doing wrong?

Casting char*s to wchar_t*s is not good.

You shouldn't use casts unless absolutely necessary. If it doesn't compile without
the casts, then I recommend looking at the types involved before covering the problem
with a cast.

Can we use the directshow methods in VC++ windows forms application. I have worked in VC++ MFC using Dshow methods and dont know how to use in VC++ Windows forms application. I got linker error when I use the Dshow methods, also I specified all the libraries in Project properties. Please advice.

Many thanks in advance.

You've included Strmiids.lib and Dxguid.lib in your build?

bhanu_850926-Jun-08 20:43

Re: Directshow methods in VC++ Windows forms application

26-Jun-08 20:43

I have added Strmiids.lib already and tried including Dxguid.lib but still I got the same linker errors. Please help me if I miss something. The other libraries included are strmiids.lib strmbase.lib winmm.lib SetupApi.lib strmbasd.lib Dxguid.lib Quartz.lib ole32.lib. In addition to this there are default inherited libraries. They are as follows

kernel32.lib
user32.lib
gdi32.lib
winspool.lib
comdlg32.lib
advapi32.lib
shell32.lib
ole32.lib
oleaut32.lib
uuid.lib
odbc32.lib
odbccp32.lib

More interestingly, when I remove the libraries from the Project Properties->Linker->Input, I got the same errors. Please advice.

hmm the only thing I can think of is you've got the wrong SDK.

What version of Visual Studio?
What SDK version are you using?

As in .NET Forms (C++/CLR)?

In your VS settings (Tools/Options/Projects and Solutions/VC++ Directories)
are the header and lib folders for the PSDK searched BEFORE the default VS SDK
folders?

Do you use a stdafx.h file? If so, what's in there exactly?

In the directory settings PSDK directories and libraries are included at the last ( I mean after the default VS SDK ).

Thanks for your prompt reply. I need some assistance very much to solve this issue.

That's all that's in your stdafx.h file?

They need to be at the top! You want the headers and libraries from the PSDK Server 2003R2,
not the ones included with VS2005.

Note that in VS2008, the SDK is up to date with the addition of DirectShow, so the secondary
PSDK isn't necessary.
