My guess is in the first example the sizeof operator can calculate the size of the array. When it comes to pointers - no such luck. Try passing the size of the allocated memory directly (preferably by using a #define):

#define ARRAY_SIZE 1024
erg=MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, text, -1, w, ARRAY_SIZE); // ANSI to UNICODE
erg=WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, 0, w, -1, text, ARRAY_SIZE, 0, 0); // UNICODE

Try to avoid using numbers directly or hard coding instead store in a constant.

const int SIZE = 1024; // Bytes
char* text = new char[SIZE];
WCHAR w[SIZE]={0};

erg=MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, text, -1, w, SIZE); // ANSI to UNICODE
erg=WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, 0, w, -1, text, SIZE, 0, 0); // UNICODE to UTF-8

So when you change SIZE, this code still keeps working.

Thanks. That to both of you. That works.
Problem is that I wanted to avoid a const size and instead use the variable size of m_pData (the original text). Is that possible?

Since m_pData is a string you can use string operations like strlen. Try this:

char *text = new char[strlen( m_pData ) + 1 /*The +1 is for the End-of-String \0*/];
WCHAR *w = new WCHAR[strlen( m_pData ) + 1];
int erg=0;

strcpy(text, m_pData);

erg=MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, text, -1, w, strlen( text )); // ANSI to UNICODE
erg=WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, 0, w, -1, text, wcslen( w ), 0, 0); // UNICODE to UTF-8

Just make sure that the strings are all NULL terminated!!

Hi I am using a ADO in my project. But when i compile my code i am getting the follwoing error.

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "long __cdecl _com_dispatch_method(struct IDispatch *,long,unsigned short,unsigned short,void *,wchar_t const *,...)" (?_com_dispatch_method@@YAJPAUIDispatch@@JGGPAXPB_WZZ) referenced in function "public: long __thiscall ConnectionEvents::InfoMessage(struct Error *,enum EventStatusEnum *,struct _Connection *)" (?InfoMessage@ConnectionEvents@@QAEJPAUError@@PAW4EventStatusEnum@@PAU_Connection@@@Z)

I have added this in my stdafx.cpp

#import "..\..\..\..\..\Microsoft\Redistribute\MSADO15.dll" no_namespace \
                  rename("Parameters","ADOParams") \
                  rename("Connection","ADOCon") \
                  rename("Parameter","ADOParam") \
                  rename("EOF", "adoEOF") \                  implementation_only

and below code in my stdafx.h file

#import "..\..\..\..\..\Microsoft\Redistribute\MSADO15.dll" no_namespace \
                  rename("Parameters","ADOParams") \
                  rename("Connection","ADOCon") \
                  rename("Parameter","ADOParam") \
                  rename("EOF", "adoEOF") \                  no_implementation

Please provide any comment i am not able to find out what is to be included to avoid this linking error.

Make sure you're linking against comsupp.lib (or some variant thereof - there's comsupp, comsuppd, comsuppw and comsuppwd) - that's where that symbol is defined. There is a #pragma in the #import process that specifies to link against that library, but it's possible, I guess, that doing the #import in stdafx negates the effect of the #pragma.

hallo, i have the following piece of code , when i try to delete the lpKeyPoint i get HEAP CORRUPTION DETECTED!

LPPOINT lpKeyPoint;
lpKeyPoint = (LPPOINT)new LPPOINT();
GetCaretPos((LPPOINT)lpKeyPoint);
if(lpKeyPoint)
{
delete lpKeyPoint;
lpKeyPoint = NULL;
}
How can i solve this problem?
Thanks.

That should be:

lpKeyPoint = new POINT();

thanks it worsk,but when i move the curosor up i get a worng value of y:

CPoint* ptrKeyPoint = new CPoint();
int nCursorLine = 0;
if((pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN)||(pMsg->message == WM_LBUTTONDOWN))
{
if((pMsg->wParam == VK_RETURN) || (pMsg->wParam == VK_UP)||(pMsg->wParam == VK_DOWN) || (pMsg->message == WM_LBUTTONUP))
{
GetCaretPos((LPPOINT)ptrKeyPoint);
nCursorLine = ptrKeyPoint->y;
}

if(ptrKeyPoint)
{
delete ptrKeyPoint;
ptrKeyPoint = NULL;
}
}

the cursor stands on the second line and ptrKeyPoint->y = 32;
it sohould be 16 instead of 32 because it starts with ptrKeyPoint->y = 0; (for the first line).

Ummmm - just don't use the heap, OK - this should work just as well:

CPoint keyPoint;
int nCursorLine = 0;
if((pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN)||(pMsg->message == WM_LBUTTONDOWN))
{
if((pMsg->wParam == VK_RETURN) || (pMsg->wParam == VK_UP)||(pMsg->wParam == VK_DOWN) || (pMsg->message == WM_LBUTTONUP))
{ 
GetCaretPos(&keyPoint);
nCursorLine = keyPoint.y; 
}

See what I've done there - I've declared and defined the CPoint item as a local, so it's on the stack. Then you don't need to worry about deallocation or anything. Much simpler.

Hello everyone.

I'm very new to C++. I typically stay in .NET, but I can't do this in VB.

I'm writing an Explorer replacement shell and am working on capturing the system tray icon messages. I've been able to successfully create a window and can see the icon information via WM_COPYDATA messages in WndProc. I initially tried to forward those messages on to my VB.NET app using SendMessage. That didn't work so well. Everything I got was garbage.

That has me thinking of creating a C++ Win32 DLL to create window and watch the messages. Then, using a callback function, alert the host application (my VB app) of the new data.

One problem: I don't have the foggiest idea how to write callback functions! I'm new new new to C++. I'm having enough trouble wrapping my head around having more than one type of String!

Please if someone can help, I'd really appreciate it! I need to be able to send the host application a NOTIFYICONDATA struct.

Thanks,
Ray Phillips

Problem in CeCreateProcess ?

Hi all,

I m using CeCreateProcess function to create process in mobile like this.

for(int i=0;i<25;i++)
{
   PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;

test:
if (!CeCreateProcess(
            L"Test.exe",
            NULL,
            NULL,
            NULL,
            FALSE,
            0,
            NULL,
            NULL,
            NULL,
            &pi))
    {
	goto test;

    }
    else
    {
	// Wait until child process exits.
	WaitForSingleObject( pi.hProcess, INFINITE );


	CeCloseHandle( pi.hProcess);
        CeCloseHandle( pi.hThread);
    }
}

when i m creating process at multiple time so after some time its return false so i m using goto to call again the process,while the process not created successfully.

can u tell me please why its return false after sometime and when i call it again n again its looks like hanged but respond after some time and create the process successfully.

i think there is some memory problem.

so please tell me how can i release the previous memory before create a new process.

if possible please explain me with example.

thanks in advance.

Windows CE 1.0 through CE 5.0 and Windows Mobile is limited limited to 32 processes and your for-loop has 25 iterations. If there are other processes running at the same time you may be going over the 32 limit.

You can call CeGetLastError[^] to see why CeCreateProcess[^] is failing:

Now i m noticed that diffreant geterror function return diffreant values.

HRESULT hr	= CeGetLastError(); 
here hr=0x0000000e Not enough storage is available to complete this operation. 

HRESULT hr1 = CeRapiGetError();
here hr1=S_OK

HRESULT hr2 = GetLastError();
here hr2=S_OK

please explain me i m confused.

which one is right.

please help me thanks in advance.

0xe == ERROR_OUTOFMEMORY so it looks like you are running out of memory on your mobile device.

Technically all of those function calls are correct. CeGetLastError [^]is returning the error code which was made through the RAPI function calls[^]. CeRapiGetError[^] is returning the last error inside the Remote API[^] which was none. GetLastError[^] is for returning the last error which was *not* called by an RAPI call.

Also keep in mind that these RAPI error functions are *not* thread-safe. So if your application creates multiple client RAPI threads each thread can overwrite the application error code.
