Yes, you can. I am doing that.

Could you point me to some documentation or an example that shows how to do this?

mouse cursor not shown in the CScrollView

Hi,

I am upgrading a very old project to VS 2005. After thousands of errors correction, I finally get it compiled.

But there is another problem. My cursor will show on menubar and toolbar. But it despairs (not shown) in the CView area or Client area.

What kind of reason will cause this?

Best regards,

For no cursor.... See if the CMyScrollView::PreCreate.... class sets its window class to have NULL as a cursor, and look at the OnSetCursor method.

Alternatively, does it try to load a cursor resource that doesn't exist anymore, fail poorly, and do (equiv) SetCursor (NULL)?

Iain.

Hi Iain

I did not do anything related to cursor in the "CMyScrollView::PreCreateWindow"

I have no "OnSetCursor" method.

When I moved my cursor into View client area, cursor just despair.

Thanks,

Do you do something with OnNcHitTest? Maybe you're returning something odd...

Iain.

Using vista's virtualisation

23-Jul-09 10:09

No, I have not defined "OnNcHitTest" method yet.

Hello,

I am not a programmer but I need a simple program (assembled C++ code) for the following

Start ProcessX
Set TokenVirtualizationEnabled using SetTokenInformation for processX

Ideally the name of process X (or exact location directory) should be passed over through a parameter. like

this_is_what_I_need.exe /C:\Windows\Programs\Example\processX.exe

or

this_is_what_I_need.exe ProcessX.exe

Thanks in advance

Bit Shift and Mask

I have data coming in and I store the one byte header in the struct

struct {
unsigned char flags;
unsigned char Checksum;
unsigned short int Sequence;
} PAcket Header

Now I need to read individually First, second, third & fourth bit and than need to read remaining 4 bits from the "flag" byte.

How do I do this. plz help....
THANKS!

That article Cedric pointed you at is great, but doesn't cover bit fields, which is what I'd use in your place.

Not by a compiler, so take this with healthy doubt over the exact syntax, but you can read a book, right?

struct {
  union
  {
     unsigned char Byte;
     struct {
       unsigned char Flag1 : 1;   // : 1 means take 1 bit
       unsigned char Option1 : 2;   // : 1 means take 2 bits
       unsigned char Flag2 : 1;   // : 1 means take 1 bit
       unsigned char Flag3 : 1;   // : 1 means take 1 bit
       unsigned char Flag4 : 1;   // : 1 means take 1 bit
       unsigned char Flag5 : 1;   // : 1 means take 1 bit
       unsigned char Flag6 : 1;   // : 1 means take 1 bit
     } Bits;
   } Flags;
   unsigned char Checksum;
   unsigned short int Sequence;
} PacketHeader

You can use it like:

PacketHeader packet;
ReadPacketSomehow (packet);
if (packet.Flags.Bits.Flag3)
{
   ....
}
if (packet.Flags.Bits.Option3 == 3)  // 2 bits, 0..3
{
   ....
}

Hope that helps you,

Iain.

@ Cedric Moonen - Thanks for the link will look into that...

@ Iain Clarke -- Thats what exactly how I coded and it was working fine.... but than coding standard dosent allow bit fields... so now I have to redo .... and I have very short time to get this thing converted.... (they recommended to use shift and mask... ) Frown | :(

Sorry forgot to mention earlier that I cant use bit fields.... Please can someone help me with this....
THANKS!!!!

If you can't use bitfields, then the article Cedric pointed you at will tell you all you ever wanted to know about >>, and &.

Certainly more than I'll type as an answer.

I did say I wasn't by a compiler, and the reader should take my answer with a large dose of doubt. Lucky, eh...

I already had to edit it, because I had too many bits (9) to start with...

I've been lurking a while, but the questions were either already ably answered, or I couldn't think of anything polite to reply with. "You couldn't find your arse with elbows, Go get another career" isn't the most helpful answer, and a hint that I should avoid an answer. Don't want to be another Outlaw!

what happens with if condition in following code?

int function(int i)
{
 printf("inside function");
return 0;
}

int main()
{
   if(function)
   printf("hi");
  else
  printf("bye");
}

and output is only
hi

why compiler doesn't complaints about wrong function call?

What is fun in your code? Is that suposed ot be:

if (function) ...

?
If so, then the answer is simple, in your if the address of the function will be checked against zero, and since it is not zero, it will come out as TRUE thus, you get "hi".

yes.. it's

if(function)

and thanx ..I got it.

Iain Clarke, Warrior Programmer23-Jul-09 9:06

23-Jul-09 9:06

Your function doesn't get called.

I think you mean:

if (function (1234))
...

But instead you're checking if the pointer to function is not 0, which it isn't, so it counts as true, so you get "hi".
