Relatively simple, & is a binary AND, while ~ is a binary NOT.

For instance, if "remaining" contains 127 (0x7F, or 01111111 binary),
and pAccess->dwValue contains 6 (0x6, 0110 binary), the ~ flips the bits
in pAccess->dwValue, so it contains 0xFFFFFF9, and then it's ANDed with
the "remaining" value

0111 1111 (remaining)
1111 1001 (dwValue)
---------
0111 1001

which is then stored in remaining.

It's a common technique used to turn off bits in one value that are set in another.

I have list box.When I fill it for second time I want previous items deleted and new ones shown.I use ResetContent but items do not deleted.I use this code:

m_listgrowp.ResetContent();
for(int i=0;i<(int)strSidArray.GetCount();i++)
    m_listgrowp.AddString(strSidArray.GetAt(i));
strSidArray.RemoveAll();

Set breakpoint to line "m_listgrowp.ResetContent()", Type "ERR,hr" in watch window. You will see the GetLastError() string message. May be, it will help you.

CString Unicode Problem!

Daniel Strigl25-Sep-02 20:49

I have written some code to save a CString to a file with the WriteFile API function (I prever to use the API function and not the CFile member functions).

CString str = _T("HI");

if (!WriteFile(hFile, str, str.GetLength(), &dwWrittenBytes, NULL) || 
        dwWrittenBytes != (DWORD) str.GetLength())
{
    AfxMessageBox(_T("Could not write to file."), MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);   
    return FALSE;
}

On Windows XP (or other Windows Systems) it works fine, but when I use the code in Embedded Visual C++ 3.0 in the Emulator I have to change the code like the following, to get the same result as under WinXP.

CString str = _T("HI");

if (!WriteFile(hFile, str, str.GetLength() * 2, &dwWrittenBytes, NULL) || 
        dwWrittenBytes != (DWORD) str.GetLength() * 2)
{
    AfxMessageBox(_T("Could not write to file."), MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);   
    return FALSE;
}

I have to write twice as much characters (str.GetLength() * 2) to get the same result! Is that something with Unicode? Can anyone explane me that? And, how I have to write this function that it works under both systems (XP and CE)?

(When I debug the code in Embedded VC++ 3.0 and I look the memory where the string in CString is saved, every second character is 0, like 'H|I|' --> | is for 0.)

Third parameter of WriteFile is buffer size in bytes. sizeof(char) in UNICODE is 2. In both cases you should write:
WriteFile(hFile, str, str.GetLength() * sizeof(TCHAR), ...

Recent File List help

Putting a recent file list into my MFC-based app was a no-brainer, but there's something I'm having trouble with.

If I select a file from the Recent list that's currently open, MFC magically avoids calling OnOpenDocument() in my doc class. While this is desirable behavior in most cases, for my particular app I need to reopen the file instead.

Any ideas on how to tweak the behavior?

Override the CWinApp::OpenDocumentFile ?

Sounds good, except I can't figure out how to access the doc class from scope of the app. Is there a good way to do this?

Steve S25-Sep-02 23:00

25-Sep-02 23:00

Generally in situations like this, I use the "Star Wars" approach.

Use the source, Luke.;)

Without looking, I'd guess that the CWinApp version trawls through the registered document templates, and asks each of them to do it. So what you'd probably want to do is create an overridden version in a CxxxxDocTemplate derived class, that instead of activating the window, closes then reloads the document. Of course, you don't want to do that if it's an SDI app.

Duh, it never occurred to me to look into overriding the doc template. Maybe that's a sign I should go to sleep. Smile | :)

Looks like I could override CDocTemplate::MatchDocType to lie in its return value about a document being open, but that sounds kind of dangerous.

Unfortunately for me, the actual decision whether or not to open a file lies in a CDocManager class, which sits out reach in the MFC dll. Sounds like I might have to look into another solution after all. Maybe maintain the Recent list myself?

Steve S25-Sep-02 23:37

25-Sep-02 23:37

I think it's also possible to replace the CDocManager with a derived one too!

Dialog in a DLL

Here goes, I created an MFC dll, I then added a dialog added a class to it, then tried to compile it. I get the following two errors:

--------------------Configuration: ALSTG - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
ALSTGPlug.cpp
c:\documents and settings\darroll\my documents\myprojects\told\alstg\alstgplug.h(21) : error C2065: 'IDD_FOUS21' : undeclared identifier

Error executing cl.exe.

ALSTG.dll - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

is "IDD_FOUS32" defined in resource.h? Is resource.h included in the the alstgplug.h file (and/or the ALSTGPlug.cpp file [but only if this include is "above" the alstgplug.h file] )

Hope that helps....

I want to view / edit the properties of a file programmatically. By properties, I mean the properties you see under right click / properties / summary tab (title, author, summary, etc). I've been searching MSDN but no luck so far.

Any suggestions ?

GetFileAttributes / SetFileAttributes
GetFileSize
GetFileType
GetFileInformationByHandle (could be the best one to research?)

Thanks, not really what I'm looking for.

It's amazing that I've been searching for hours now and couldn't find any info on this. I was hoping for a simple API function.

Steve S25-Sep-02 22:01

25-Sep-02 22:01

That stuff only normally appears if it's a compound file (OLE "document"). I think there's a sample on MSDN that deals with examining these. Try looking for properties and "structured storage" or some such.
