hello,
i want to start and stop other process (win32 vc++ application without gui) in a mfc dialog application. please tell me how to do that ?
for stopping, i read that TerminateProcess() can be used but it should be used in extreme circumstances. The state of global data maintained by dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) may be compromised if TerminateProcess is used. so is it safe to use it ??

What kind of an application are you developing?
You can use ShellExecute[^] to create a process. Or if you want more options and possibly control over the spawned process, there is CreateProcess[^]
No, you shouldn't be using TerminateProcess(), but again if you say what kind of application are you writing (and if you have written the spawned process as well), a better alternative might be suggested to you.

mfc application creates some text files which are used by other win32 c++ program. if i try to access the files through mfc application while win32 c++ program running, it causes the crash of the mfc application (beacuse i dont used any 'if' for file open and i cant).
i used the createprocess() and it is working great.

I don't understand this. If you could explain me better, and tell me what exactly are you trying to achieve, I may be able to help you.

i created the win32 c++ application long back when i dont have any idea of mfc. it is working fine.
with mfc, i create a gui which accept the some content and save them in text files. these text files are then used by the win32 application. win32 application runs at startup of windows and it takes the information from the files and starts using it (it is socket application so it will not read the file again until it receives some information for the ip which is saved in the text file).
so i want to restart the win32 application when closing mfc application so that win32 application can use the updated text files.
actually i want to use TerminateProcess() and then start it with CreateProcess() function. but i read that TerminateProcess() can create problem with DLL structure.

please tell me how to use TerminateProcess() function. if there is an alternative for this function, please suggest.

might want to look at ExitProcess() also

You must have set the "owner draw propery " dialouge proprty in your application either by dialouge wizard or by code.

hello,
i want to set the value of the ip address control from a string, say ip[100] which is read from a text file.
how this can be done ?
the text file contains ip like --- 127.0.0.1 or 111.111.11.1
|

|
|
|
ULONG ulP = inet_addr(szIPAddress );

i dont get, please explain.
i am using this code but it makes the mfc application crash.
len = strlen(fff);
if(strlen(fff) > 0 && strcmp(fff, "\n") != 0)
{
while(fff[i] != '.')
{
c[j] = fff[i];
j++;
i++;
}
m1 = atoi(c);
j = 0;
i++;
ZeroMemory(c, 3);
while(fff[i] != '.')
{
c[j] = fff[i];
j++;
i++;
}
m2 = atoi(c);
j = 0;
i++;
ZeroMemory(c, 3);
while(fff[i] != '.')
{
c[j] = fff[i];
j++;
i++;
}
m3 = atoi(c);
j = 0;
i++;
ZeroMemory(c, 3);
while(len > i)
{
c[j] = fff[i];
j++;
i++;
}
m4 = atoi(c);
j = 0;
i++;
ZeroMemory(c, 3);
ipAdd.SetAddress(m1, m2, m3, m4);
}

You may be over complicating the conversion of the 4 number parts of the IP address.
Try this instead:
int m1,m2,m3,m4;
sscanf(fff,"%d.%d.%d.%d",&m1,&m2,&m3,&m4);
ipAdd.SetAddress(m1,m2,m3,m4);
Of course, you'll need to validate the IP address is in the proper format.
|
|
|
|
|
this method shows wrong ip in the ip address control.
|
|
|
|
|
The variable fff must be a string only containing a valid IP address.
try this:
LPSTR lpIPAddress = _T("127.0.0.1");
int m1, m2, m3, m4;
sscanf(lpIPAddress,"%d.%d.%d.%d",&m1,&m2,&m3,&m4);
ipAdd.SetAddress(m1,m2,m3,m4);
Make sure you're passing in just the IP address in the sscanf function.

|
|
|

it is working now. since i am using
fileh.ReadString((LPTSTR)fff , 100);
therefore i have to use the following code for the correct result ---
swscanf((LPCTSTR)fff,_T("%d.%d.%d.%d"),&m1,&m2,&m3,&m4);
thanks for the help.

You're welcome! Glad you got it working.

I assume you are talking about CIPAddressCtrl.
The method CIPAddressCtrl::SetAddress take 4 BYTE parameters (see : doc on MSDN[^])
So, you will need to extract each "part" from the string and convert each substring to a BYTE. (manually or int_addr[^])

Hello,
I have a program that has a dialog box - call this 'box1' on top of another dialog.
I want to create a 'box2' that will have some of the same buttons as 'box1' and perform the same actions - don't ask why i need to do this!
What i think is that making box2 a 'child' / derived class of box1 will be the best idea.
What i want to do is tell the program, when button 'my buttonbox2' is clicked in box2 it just goes to the 'mybuttonbox1' in box1 and carries out that process.
I understand all the class and derived class things in C++, and I understand all the OnBtnClicked stuff etc... i'm just having a hard time with my limited knowledge to connect standard C++ with MFC!
If anyone can help I would be very grateful. Thankyou.

You wan to relay events from your second message box to the first one? So for example if you click a button on your second dialog you want the first dialog class' instance to handle it?

|
|
|
|

Pretty much, yes.
Basically my 1st box has for example:
void Cbox1dlg::onbtnplay
{
// box 1 onbtnplay process information
}
I want my second box void Cbox2dlg::onbtnplay to just point back to box1 and do 'box1 onbtnplay process'
Thanks

|

If it is only a few buttons AND in your second dialog you know the handle of the first one (for example it is its parent) then you can try simply relaying all the command messages to the first dialog, if this suits your needs or not i can't tell of course.

Thanks for that,
I think that would be right for my needs,
the problem is, i have not been able to work out the actual code to relay back to the 1st dialog, I could do this in standard C++, but with MFC macros I'm sure how to go about actually coding it...
Could you (or anyone else reading this) give me an example code to relay the buttonclick back to the 1st dialog button click?
Sorry, i'm quite new to MFC, and i'm not sure quite how to treat the macros in it as opposed to standard 'int's' or something.
Thankyou very much for your help. (and yes, its only a few buttons - probably 3or 4).
