That's because DirectShow is no longer part of the DirectX SDK.
You need the Platform SDK for Server 2003 R2 or better.
Then you need to build the DirectShow base class libraries found
in the missing folder.
Then you need to change your project settings to use the new folder
in the PSDK and use your newly built base-classes libraries.
It's all in the documentation!

Why not? Since you know the absolute path that the linker is looking for the file in, can't you just browse to that location in Windows Explorer?

Hello everyone,
I an setting break point on some some system API, for example, CoInitializeEx. Here is the call stack I got from WinDbg.
My question is, how to get the related assembly language before we call CoInitialize (e.g. preparing input parameter), I want to see how the parameters are prepared either in register or pushed on stack for function call CoInitializeEx.

First you need to bring up the call stack window in the debugger, then double click on the calling function. If this doesn't immediately show you the disassembly then you probably need to open the disassembly view window manually. Having said that this looks like .NET code so I've no idea whether what you get will be IL, assembly or just a mess. It all depends on the vagueries of the JIT Compiler I suppose.

Hi Matthew,
I agree with you that using pure native program is better. I just randomly choose a program and practise debugging. 
Here is related stack dump and source codes, you can see it is wrong in debugger for input parameter values. Any ideas? Can you reproduce (I am using Windows Server 2003 x64 + VS 2008)?

What you've posted is the Call Stack, which is useful, as you've now got the address of the stack so you could look at it in the memory window. What you're looking for though is the disassembly window which will show you the assembly level code around the call from main to CoInitializeEx. Remember that which parameters are passed in which registers, if any and which are pushed and popped on the stack is not only Compiler depenedent but also dependent on the optimisation level you've set, the calling convention of the function, whether it's an externally callable function and even whether you're running in Debug or Release mode so you really can't rely on this sort of level of detail. In this case because CoInitialzeEx is a precompiled DLL function the way its called will at least be consistent all the time, will very likely follow the 'C' calling convention (lookup __cdecl in MSDN) and all parameters will probably be passed on the Stack. As for the assembly code itself I'm terrible at Intel assembler and really couldn't help you with trying to disentangle it.

Thanks Matthew,
So your suggestion is to look at the assembly code?
I have diassembled and posted here the beginning part of function CoInitializeEx, how from the assembly code do you know are the input parameters (e.g. in which memory address or in which registers)?
Sorry the assembly code is long, and I think posting the beginning part is fine?

Sorry George you need someone who can read 64bit Intel Assembly language. That's not me I'm afraid. It looks like rbx, r12 and r13 are being moved into memory relative to rax. My guess would be that's the parameters being copied but I wouldn't swear to it and I don't even know what rbx,r12,r13 or rax actually are.

Thanks Matthew,
Do you have any books or documents to refer to read to learn x64 assembly? My current books/documents are only dealing with 32-bit or even 16-bit assembly language.
My issue happens only with 64-bit application. Any ideas or refers?
regards,
George

You should be able to make a simple C++ project that makes one
call to CoInitializeEx. Bring up the disassembly debug window and step
through the asm code.

Here is my code and related assembly code. How do you know which register/memory is used as 1st and 2nd input parameter to CoInitializeEx?

I'm not sure what you're looking for.
I don't see anything getting pushed on the stack or the actual call to
CoInitializeEx().
It looks like the edx and ecx registers are the parameters.
You may need to step into the _imp_CoInitializeEx call to see more.
This is 64-bit code?

Thanks Mark,
I have posted the assembly code here,
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1647&msg=2639624[^]
The code is x64 on Windows Server 2003 with full optimization turned on.
My further questions,
1.
From your experience, if we want to find out the input parameter values, it is more convenient to see the values from the caller or the callee?
2.
From my code posted in CoInitializeEx, could we find out which memory address/register is used as input parameters?
regards,
George

I've a crazy idea, use SetWindowRgn, let the visible part be the rgn. 
======================================
[update]
I tried as below, the background of the list ctrl is still while, why the code that changes the background brush doesn't take effect?
int CThumbListCtrl::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
if (CListCtrlHiddenSB::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
return -1;
DWORD dw = SetClassLong(GetSafeHwnd(), GCL_HBRBACKGROUND, (LONG)GetStockObject(BLACK_BRUSH));
SetExtendedStyle(LVS_EX_HIDELABELS | LVS_EX_BORDERSELECT);
return 0;
}
=========================================================
Here is the method I tried, but not successful:
(some error check codes are removed)
BOOL CMyWnd::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
CWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs);
WNDCLASS wndclass;
BOOL b = ::GetClassInfo(AfxGetInstanceHandle(),cs.lpszClass,&wndclass);
wndclass.lpszClassName=L"classThumbListCtrl";
wndclass.hbrBackground=(HBRUSH)GetStockObject(HOLLOW_BRUSH);
VERIFY(AfxRegisterClass(&wndclass));
cs.lpszClass=wndclass.lpszClassName;
return TRUE;
}
Any way to correct it? Or is there a better way?
Thanks.

You Can use SetLayeredWindowAttributes.
-@SuDhIrKuMaR@-

|
|

It does not apply to a list ctrl, though the ctrl has WS_EX_LAYERED style.

There's nothing that says the system controls need to honor your brush.
You'll need to use owner draw/custom draw.

Hi,
I am using a mybatch.bat file to execute one of my command line exe. Below I the batch file
@echo ON
App.exe %*
pause
director structure used:
c:\test\ mybatch.bat
c:\test\App.exe
When I execute this batch file from its current folder it executes the “App.exe” (for example : C:\test>mybatch.bat)
But when i run giving path, (c:\>test\mybatch.bat) in this case I am getting error as C:\>App.exe bad command. That is batch file is not executing the command c:\>test\App.exe rather it executes c:\>App.exe.
So please let me know how to take the dynamic path.

I know it is a fix. Not the right way to implement. But it works. It is simple. Just try.
Follow these steps
1. Make one more folder under c:\test> as "mybatch". (c:\test\mybatch>)
2. modify your batch file as follows
@echo ON
%0\..\App.exe %*
pause
Now try the command from the root folder of c drive.
c:\> test\mybatch.bat

Thanks a Lot..its working fine.

Hi all!
Can anyone tell me if i could use try-catch block within a windows procedure to catch errors like
"Error occurred while creating window!" or
"Couldn't initialize COM object!"
for example my in winmain function:
try
{
SetupMessageBoxPointer();
// Initialize WinSock for peer to peer classes, and COM for ...
if (!InitializeWinSock2())
throw Error(L"Error: Cannot initialize Ws2_32.dll!", _FATAL_ERROR);
if ((hOK = CoInitialize(NULL)) != S_OK)
throw Error(L"Error: Cannot initialize COM object!", _FATAL_ERROR);
mainapp = new DataCrypt(hInstance);
if (mainapp == NULL)
throw Error(L"Cannot allocate memory for DataCrypt object!", _FATAL_ERROR);
mainapp->Initialize();
mainapp->Run(); // messages loop
}
catch(Error &err)
{
ERRORMSG(NULL, err.GetText(), err.GetErrorType());
}
|
|
|
|
|
With the code you've posted, catch block surelly handles the Error exceptions you throw; anyway Windows API (without using MFC) doesn't use exception mchanism.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, your idea is sound. Clearly you will need to define the Error class appropriately and to enable C++ exception handling for your project. Catching exceptions by reference is also occasionaly flaky so if you find the catch part is not working then trying throwing and catching an Error pointer instead.
