My SDI application prints graphs of data. It uses A4- Landscape mode. When I run this app in Windows2000 I get color output on printer. When I run this app on Windows XP, I do not any prints. If I do following things I get output.
1. Change all colors to black. OR
2. Change paper size e.g. to Letter size.

I think it's more likely to be a printer driver problem than anything else.
Try:
Check you're using the correct driver
Update the printer driver
Try a different type of printer
Drink more red wine (preferably Italian).

Thanks. It worked. I tried another printer.

Howdy,
I have a stored procedure in MS SQL Server 2000 which performs some inserts and then a select statement. If the inserts fail (for example violating primary key contraints) i still would like to retrieve the results of the select statement. To illustrate this:
insert into table values (1)
insert into table values (1) /*violates primary key*/
insert into table values (2)
Select stuff from table
executing this in the query manager i get an error message about the failed insert and a grid for the select statement.
Using OLE DB, The Execute() method fails with DB_E_INTEGRITYVIOLATION and no result set is returned! Is there anyway to either suppress the error information generated by SQL Server so that the client is never informed of the failed insert, OR is there anyway to get OLE DB to give me the result set?
I have simplified the problem a lot so it might seem like I'm trying to do something senseless. Essentially I attempt a bunch of actions and the select at the end returns a bunch of error information. 
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Many debuggers can hook to a program and read its memory. Even if it's protected/private. I'm thinking about writing a simple debugging tool, but I don't know how to read process memory.
Should I use SetWindowsHookEx?
Some advice would be greatly appriciated

Try ReadProcessMemory()

I've been doing a fair amount of work on something pretty similar, I've been interested in debuggers and how programs work at the lowest levels for a while now after starting off as a bit of a coding idiot
The best places I can recommend to start is if you can afford it, buy John Robbin's "Debugging Windows Applications" because he truely is the king of all things debugger. His Bugslayer articles in MSDN give good ideas too and there are a couple of articles here on CP that can help, search for APIHijack because that gives a good idea of how to get started. John Robbins really is the king though, just had to say that again

Thanks carrie
The book looks promissing, but it's 45 bucks on amazon 
APIHijack's nice, I'll check out its sourcecode.
Kind regards,
Griffith

Thanks for the suggestion, but this is what I read on MSDN
ReadProcessMemory copies the data in the specified
address range from the address space of the specified process into
the specified buffer of the current process. Any process that has a
handle with PROCESS_VM_READ access can call the function. The process
whose address space is read is typically, but not necessarily, being
debugged.
The entire area to be read must be accessible. If it is not, the
function fails as noted previously.
Regular processes don't have PROCESS_VM_READ...
I doubt windows has a simple api that allows one process to read and
modify the memory of another one. (What would be the use of Protected memory then?)
Or is there a way to make ReadProcessMemory work?
Kind regards,
Griffith

easy way out:
u gotta Create the process u wanna read urself, then open it using PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, than read the memory

exactly like that, if you use CreateProcess and supply the flag to show that the program you're writing is debugging the one you are wanting to debug, you can get access to read into its memory space.
Just forked out for that book myself about a month ago, its full of amazing code so I'm more than happy to have paid so much for it. Can't live without it now
|
|
|
|
|
Okay, I'll try that then.
I know for sure it's possible to read the memory of existing processes though.
Thanks a lot guys

I am hoping to use CFile, and what I want to do is concatenate two files. I dont see an append function. How would one do that? If I cant use CFile I'll have to use system("dosomething") which isnt quite as nice...
Thanks,
ns

|

|

Yes, you can use CFile. Use 2 CFile objects to open and read the files' contents into a couple of variables (eg: data1, data2). Then, use a 3rd CFile object to create a new file and call Write() to write each variable in succession.

Obvious thing to do, in retrospect! THanks! I'm doing some java right now....one nice thing its 'STL' like iterator has is HasNext() which checks to see if the next element exists....
How did the deal go? Hard at work already?

I *luv* Java's collection classes! Thankfully, the .Net framework has a similar, extensive array (no pun intended) of classes.

Very well, thanks! I start work on Oct 14. Am looking forward to an initial 2 hour commute . Hopefully, it's only a matter of time before I move to Cambridge. Gadzooks, I'll have to start acting young and hip again. Haven't done that since 1492.
Am riding on a high... was working on an academic problem (sending text messages to an SMS equipped phone which is connected to a GPS, then parsing the query to determine where the target object is) that helped a friend of mine clinch a deal. In appreciation, he gave me an early Xmas present[^]! I'm still in shock! I was just solving the problem for fun!
Now it's back to my portfolio manager hack and a backlog of articles I want to post on CP. Hope you're having a great weekend! Eat lots of jaylee.

Have you not used the STL ? The C# collection classes blow for many reasons, and a brief use of the STL will reveal them all.

how can i show a dialog using simple asm in vc++?
void showAboutDialog( void )
{
__asm
{
//invoke DialogBox( g_hModule, MAKEINTRESOURCE( IDD_ABOUT_DIALOG ), NULL, (DLGPROC) aboutDialogProc );
//invoke GetDesktopWindow
};
}
any help would be great.

This is not 'directly' possible with the VC++ inline assembler. Sure, you could play with the _emit statement and form the needed opcodes yourself, but why? Why not making a direct call to DialogBox(...)?

I have a static function in my class,I want to call a nonstatic function of my class inside that static function.How?

Static functions are not associated with a particular instance of a class. They have no this pointer. Like a global function. You would have to pass in a pointer to the object to invoke the method on, since the static function is not associated with a particular object.
|
|
|
|
|
Generally, you use a pointer to the instance of the class whose method you want to invoke. e.g.
/*static*/ void CMyClass::DoSomethingToPeer(CMyClass* pPeer)
{
pPeer->DoSomethingToSelf();
}
/*static*/ void CMyClass::DoSomethingToAllPeers()
{
// s_Peers is a static variable to class-- a list of all instances
for (list<CMyClass*>::const_iterator i=s_Peers.begin();i!=s_Peers.end();++i)
i->DoSomethingToSelf();
}

Hi,
how can i kill a process? I do not want to send some messages like WM_CLOSE, WM_QUIT or others to the process to kill, i want to kill it, so it not even has the time to ask for file-save for example.
I know, this is somehow possible (I have a tool, which exactly does this). Do you know how to kill a process? 
Thanks,
-Dominik
