DAO: linking dbf table with different extension

AndyR3-Sep-02 6:16

The following code works with DAO 3.5, but it doesn't when I add the following line into InitInstance():

<br />
AfxGetModuleState()->m_dwVersion = 0x0601;<br />
....<br />
<br />
CDaoDatabase db;<br />
db.Create("c:\\test.mdb");<br />
<br />
CDaoTableDef td(&db);<br />
<br />
td.Create("test link");<br />
td.SetConnect("dBase IV;Database=C:\\");<br />
<br />
// test.ddf is a dbf created with FoxPro 2.5x & renamed:<br />
td.SetSourceTableName("test.ddf");<br />
<br />
td.Append();<br />

The error message is "The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'test'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly."

I've tried using "test#ddf" as a vaguely remember reading that this is the key to getting non standard extensions accepted, but this makes no difference in Jet 3.5 or 3.6 (i.e. 3.5 still works Smile | :)

, 3.6 doesn't work Frown | :(

Any ideas?

MFC 6.0 has the ability to use Microsoft Access 2000 databases. To engage this support in your application you use.

AfxGetModuleState()->m_dwVersion = 0x0601;

So to use under DAO 3.5 just remove the line

Hmm...

Classwizard Problem w/ External Resource DLL

Hi all...

I've got a problem that arose after moving the resources in our application to an external resource dll for localization. All that works fine, but now the ClassWizard is basically unusable for adding new members based on controls in the dialogs. I know it's got something to do with the fact that all the control and dialog definitions are not part of my main app's project anymore... but..

does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance,
Andrew Welch

I don't know how to fix this ClassWizard issue. Any chance for storing main language resources (probably English) in .exe - this solves the problem completely. In this scenario, satellite dlls are needed only for secondary languages.

I think that is part of the solution.. However, we have separate english, italian, german, spanish and french dll's. Keeping the english resources embedded in the app really isn't feasible because we have some pretty big resources. Keeping them separate reduces the size of the install by about half.

I'm going to try something in the app's resource file (which is basically empty and static now ) using

#ifdef APSTUDIO_INVOKED
#endif

and see if I can't get the symbols I need loaded when editing only.

Thanks

Hi All,
I need to create a timer that would start once I start running a process from within my program.I need to know how much time it takes for the process to create the first output.For this I would need a timer.I case the timer value reaches a specified limit the process should be terminated.
What is the method I can do this.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks and regards,

WaitForSingleObject with a timeout period should work for you.

There are several solutions. You could get the system time exactly before you the process begins and then get the system time exactly after the first output. Their difference is the duration time.

text string ID to numeric ID

Sascha3-Sep-02 5:12

I am receiving some configuration setting via a XML document. One of the entry is the caption of a column header. The caption is given using a string ID (IDS_COL1_CAPTION) when extracting this info from the XML document the resulting value is a string containing “IDS_COL1_CAPTION”.
Is there a way to convert this text string ID into a numeric ID to be able to use the LoadString function of CString?

Thank you

nope. there's no automatic way to do it. you'll have to set up a mapping of strings to numerics. i would use a std::map.

I don't think so - if IDS_COL1_CAPTION is resource identifier. When you build exe/dll, the #defines are expanded to constant integers, there's no 'IDS_COL1_CAPTION' literal in executable.

You'd have to provide your own mapping from strings to integers.

Write own resource editor PROBLEM

Hi, i'm currently planning to write a programm which allows the user to generate own dialogs to use defined functions.

I came around by letting the user add/modify dll-dialog resources.
I know ther are some resource editors out ther by whick you can edit the resources of existing (compiled) exe/dll files. (e.g. reshacker, restuner, PE Explorer,...)(Its also possible with VStudio, I know.)

There is an MSDN SDK sample called "DlgEdit" but with this you can only modify ".res" files...

BUT I dunnot want the USER to have VStudio installed to create his own dialogs.
So i thought about writing my own resource editor.

So does anyone now to help me in that problem??

I need to know where th resources are located in the exe/dll and how to "decompile" them and then paste back to the exe/dll again and the store the exe/dll.

help would be greatly welcome, as I'm not a master VC++ coder up to now Blush | :O

you will have to do this as an owner-drawn control . ie. you'll have to handling all the rendering of the cells yourself.

Hi,

I have my Visual C++ 6.0 application that uses DAO and Microsoft Access (Trial.exe & Trial.mdb)! I would like to give that application and mdb to my friend to try, but he does not have Visual C++ & MicroSoft Access!

However I do have:

- Vbrun60.exe
- DaoRedis.exe (& its Setup.exe)

Can some one tell me in detail, what I need to do in other to include all neccessary files in my CD & give it to my friend?

Thank you for all help!

You need to install MSJet db engine.
You can install MDAC + MSJet engine (MSJet not included in MDAC >= 2.5)
See http://www.microsoft.com/data/ for MDAC and Jet files.

Re: Can you specify who has to download ...?

3-Sep-02 5:51

Hi Pavel,

Thank you very much for your help, but I have 2 un-cleared instructions:

1) In the website they did not mention about DAO (only ADO, OBDC & OLE DB), is that OK for DAO too?

2) Who will do the download: me or my friend who does not have Visual C++ & MS Access?

*) If it is me to do that then how I put files to my CD (for giving it to my friend), I will include Trial.exe, Trial.mdb & all download files?

Many thanks & hope you give me a bit more info!
