Why?

Why don't you use the mechanism COM provides for, i.e. QueryInterface?

thanks pallini for reply

Because I am getting the value from the IUnknown filter from the gmfbridge and now i want to connect the manually graph so that I have to use typecast this IUnknown filter to the IBaseFilter.

Your question is unclear, to say the least. I can't make head or tail out of it. Can you explain more clearly?

I am using gmfbridge to play the clips

hr = pController->CreateSourceGraph(wFilter, m_pGraph, &m_pSinkFilter);

where m_pSinkFilter is the IUnknown type. If I want to GetPin of this m_pSinkFilter then this function wants the IBaseFilter type.

GetPin((IBaseFilter*)&m_pSinkFilter, PINDIR_OUTPUT);

Is this possible

The better thing is..

IBaseFilter *pFilter = 0;
HRESULT hr;
hr = m_pSinkFilter->QueryInterace(IID_IBaseFilter, (void**)&pFilter);
if(SUCCEEDED(hr))
{

That looks wrong, since m_pSinkFilter is already a pointer to an interface, you should write

GetPin((IBaseFilter*)m_pSinkFilter, PINDIR_OUTPUT)

(i.e. remove the address-of operator).

In any case, what is the purpose of bypassing the COM QueryInterface mechanism? Why don't you use m_pSinkFilter to QueryInterface for IBaseFilter?

Now I am doing this like as

hr = pController->CreateSourceGraph(wFilter, m_pGraph, &m_pSinkFilter);

hr = m_pSinkFilter->QueryInterface(IID_IBaseFilter, (void**)&FileSource);
if(SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
hr = ConnectFilters(m_pGraph,FileSource,mxfparser);
if(FAILED(hr))
{
MessageBoxA(NULL,"failed to connect","",NULL);
}
}

But Here now connectFilters Failed.

Selection Visual C++ version for driver development

Hi,

I am an experienced programmer in Linux, but new to Windows.
I want to develop windows XP driver for a PCI based device.
Also, I want to write a device capability Demonstration application.
I am free to select Visual Studio 6.0 to Visual Studio 2008.

1. Is it a good decision to do the Demo Application development in VC++ Dot-Net, and Driver Development in Non-Dot net environment?

2.Which version of Visual studio is suitable for me, considering the future usefulness of the technical knowledge I am acquiring.

3.Please suggest some good books for Windows XP Driver Development.

Thank You very Much

Jacob

_chdrive unicode support.

Hi Guys,

Do we have any unicode equivalent to this _chdrive function?

I made my application unicode supporting one. previously it was working fine but now it is not working and application is crashing.

Previously it was having the value of 28 but now the value is 35. Why is it so?

code snippet:
----------------------
_chdrive(theApp.m_Dir[0]-'A'+1);

-------------------------------------------------
can anyone shed some light on this issue?

Thanks,
Rakesh.

_chdrive is completely independent of UNICODE, since it accepts an integer as argument (and not a string).

Rakesh5 wrote:

Which value are you talking about ? The return value of _chdrive ? That's impossible since it returns either 0 or 1.

Please clarify your question...

int a = theApp.m_Dir[0]-'A'+1 ;

Can you please tell me what is the logic behind using 'A' + 1 ;

Can you help me??

You wrote the code but you don't understand what you wrote ??

Anyway, you are taking the first letter of the m_Dir string (which is probably a drive letter) and substracting the value of 'A'. This is because the letter 'A' has a specific ASCII code (which is not 1) but the A drive should be 1. Then you are incrementing the drive number by 1.

Tracking or monitoring the file/folder copy

Hi,

I would like to know if there are any ways to programmatically detect or monitor the file or folder being copied either by copy command(like on command prompt-- copy a b) or by using drag/drop(ctrl+c and ctr+v).
It would be helpful if you could give some pointers( preferably some APIs in vc++)

thanks and regards

You would probably need a File System Filter Driver for this.
Not a very easy task.

Look at the FileSpy sample in the Windows Driver Kit (WDK).

I want to build an application with publish/subscribe model for UDP communication for a real time simulation system. I'm new to this communication model and need to know much about the publish/subscribe model. We are using the Client/Server model for the communication. Where can I get some details about this model and what is the middleware I should be using.

Thanks
