Hi,

I have tab control and two cards (dialogs) in tab control. I put my bitmap picture (from resources) in picture control on main dialog window (parent dialog) and I wanna that picture stays underneath tab control dialogs, so when I called next handler (on change tab cards) I wanna that that picture be on same place for both dialogs(child) in tab control. When I activate particular tab the next handler is called :

void Board_TabCtrl::ActivateTabDialogs()
{
	int nSel = GetCurSel();

	if(m_Dialog[nSel]->m_hWnd)
		m_Dialog[nSel]->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);

	CRect l_rectClient;
	CRect l_rectWnd;

	GetClientRect(l_rectClient);
	AdjustRect(FALSE,l_rectClient);
	GetWindowRect(l_rectWnd);
	GetParent()->ScreenToClient(l_rectWnd);
	l_rectClient.OffsetRect(l_rectWnd.left,l_rectWnd.top);
	for(int nCount=0; nCount < m_nPageCount; nCount++)
	{
		m_Dialog[nCount]->SetWindowPos(&wndTop, l_rectClient.left,l_rectClient.top,l_rectClient.Width(),l_rectClient.Height(),SWP_HIDEWINDOW);
	}
	m_Dialog[nSel]->SetWindowPos(&wndTop,l_rectClient.left,l_rectClient.top,l_rectClient.Width(),l_rectClient.Height(),SWP_SHOWWINDOW);

	m_Dialog[nSel]->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
}

But when I change tab card that picture flick because I call ShowWindow(SW_SHOW) i.e ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
. How can I prevent that picture flick. Is there way to not update part of dialog window or some trick with differernt properties (transparent ....)

PS: What I want is like there is a hole on that picture place on child dialog windows, so that there no be flickering due to calls of ShowWindow(SW_SHOW) i.e. ShowWindow(SW_HIDE) for child dialogs in tab control;

Best regards

First, try showing your new dialog first and then removing the old one, maybe it also does not hurt if you ensure that the new dialog is always on top of the other one in the Z-order. Another thing you can try is simply disabling repainting of the whole window using SetRedraw(FALSE)[^], performing the switch of the dialogs, re-enabling repainting with SetRedraw(TRUE) and then making your new page and maybe the tab control itself redrawn with RedrawWindow[^]. You might have to experiment a bit with it...

how to use "LDRLoadDll" to load a dll in DDK?

Hi all
I do appologize in advance for my question, because I couldn't find a related forum with my question!!

I'm writting a program in DDK for secure booting of windows XP.
I use NT-Native functions in kernel mode, but unfortunately there is not any reference or example of using these functions!

I want to load some kernel mode dlls there(such as "hal.dll" in system32 folder) and use of "LDRLoadDLL" function whereas there is no good example of it's usage!

I don't know how should I pass those dlls path address in the first input argument of this function? when I set NULL in it, I get error to load some kernel mode dll (Error such as "File not found" where it succeeds in loading only "ntdll.dll"!) and also I don't know how should be the dll's "path" format in first argument of function?

I've seen ntdll.dll's source code for this function, but the correct format of path is some complex for me!!

Here is the ntdll's source including "LDRLoadDll" function:
http://source.winehq.org/source/dlls/ntdll/loader.c#L2007

I extremely hope you could help me!!!!

Thanks in Advance.

Well....that's Wine's source, which is not necessarily going to be the same as the Microsoft original....

Looking at a quick Google search for LdrLoadDLL[^] brings up this page[^], which documents A path format. There's also this page[^], which indicates that the Wine source is definitely very different to the Microsoft source.

Hello and Thanks of your reply!

I saw "http://www.matcode.com/undocwin.h.txt" address, but it only declares the "LdrLoadDll" as below and doesn't use of it with providing a valid path for a dll!

DWORD __stdcall LdrLoadDll( PWSTR *szcwPath, // Optional
PDWORD pdwLdrErr, // Optional
PUNICODE_STRING pUniModuleName,
PHINSTANCE pResultInstance
);

Did you look in the comments? There, it says this:

szcwPath - Points to a null-terminated
//       wide character string that containes the "path"
//       variable where the system will look for the module.
//       szcwPath should have following format:
//         L"Path1;Path2;Path3;....;PathN;".
//       If szcwPath equal NULL, LdrLoadDll function
//       will perform search as LoadLibrary.

So, setting szcwPath to something like L"C:\\Windows\\System32;C:\\Windows;" should be what you want?

Hi and thanks!

Unfortunately it doesn't work!
I have already examined this normal way of specifying a module path, but kernel mode is so sensitive and doesn't accept this format.
This comment suggests how to seperate different paths of dlls.
I think it should be in a different way to load dlls in "kernel mode(DDK)" specifically!

Well, I assume you're running under XP, etc - so user mode does not have normal access to the sectors on a hard drive.

Is this on a floppy?

Another question... How did you get the contents of that sector? I assume whatever read method you used, there will be a write one?

Yours in need of funrther information,

How to link to dll using function names rather than ordinals

Chesnokov Yuriy24-Aug-09 21:16

I've written DLL and it exports some functions.
But when I link to it given its .lib and .h files from another console project, it links to dll using ordinals but not names.

I dumped the .exe and found that it imports DllName.01, DllName.02 functions from that dll rather than original functions names.

The dumped dll has its exports as original function names

How to overcome it?

Have you tried this without a .def file ? I have written dozens and dozens of DLLs for use in C and C++ code and never once used a .def file. You just have to make it clear whether the DLL exports C or C++ functions and classes in the header file.

But in that case the exported functions names become added with some ?@# symbols. They are not exactly the names as in the source code

did you debug to check if values are initialized properly and why is it crashing? If not, this may be the right time to do this activity.

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

Using dynamic_cast for Clist

blontek24-Aug-09 21:08

24-Aug-09 21:08

Please I need help on this, I'm new in C++.

Here are the details:
1. I have a base class and 3 derived classes:

Base class
class CRepositoryData
{
...
};
Derived classes
class CUser_data : public CRepositoryData
{
...
};
class CLock_data : public CRepositoryData
{
...
};
class CReferences_data : public CRepositoryData
{
...
};

2. My declaration for my classes in my function uses CList <>
main()
{
CList <CLock_data,CLock_data&> listLockDataTemp_L;
CList <CReferences_data,CReferences_data&> listLocationDataTemp_L;
CList <CUser_data,CUser_data&> listUserDataTemp_L;

if(Lock)
{
CreateBatchToSend(
dynamic_cast<CList<CRepositoryData,CRepositoryData&>*>(&listLockDataTemp_L));
}else if(CReferences)
{
CreateBatchToSend(
dynamic_cast<CList<CRepositoryData,CRepositoryData&>*>&listLocationDataDataTemp_L));

}else
CreateBatchToSend(
dynamic_cast<CList<CRepositoryData,CRepositoryData&>*>(&listUserDataTemp_L));

}

}

3. Is this code possible for my CreateBatchToSend()?

BOOL CreateBatchToSend(CList <CRepositoryData,CRepositoryData&> *pListRepData_P)
{
...
CList <CLock_data,CLock_data&> listLockDataTemp_L;
listLockDataTemp = dynamic_cast<CList<CLock_data,CLock_data&>*>pListRepData_P;
...
}

4. I am trying to create a function that can take those 3 derived classes in a list by using the base class as the argument and then use dynamic cast to revert back to their respective class.
Do I need to use other containers to implement this?

Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks a lot...

I am not sure I understood your question but what you are trying to do is not really correct. You can't cast to CList<CLock_data,CLock_data&>* from a CList <CRepositoryData,CRepositoryData&> *. These are two different types (even if the class used for template arguments are parent/child).

A better approache would be to use polymorphism: instead of manipulating a list of CRepositoryData objects, simply manipulate a list of pointers to CRepositoryData objects. This way, the pointer can point to a CRepositoryData object or to a child object.
This has also another advantage: all the lists can be manipulated the same way (and you could maybe even reduce them to one single list).

A ok. You're right. I need the pointer to CRepositoryData object.

My main problem is i have this 3 different functions that will call one function(Create_Batch_to_Send()) with CRepositoryData as the argument:

Function1 - calls Create_Batch_to_Send(CList<CUserdata,CUserdata&>*listUserData)
Function2 - calls Create_Batch_to_Send(CList<CLockdata,CLockdata&>*listLockData)
Function3 - calls Create_Batch_to_Send(CList<CReferencedata,CReferencedata&>*listReferenceData)

I want Create_Batch_to_Send() function to handle those 3 list. That's where my problem occurs. I dont know what argument i should use.

Sir please can you give me an example on how to make this pointer to CRepositoryData as an argument to
Create_Batch_to_Send(). Thank you very much...
