While it's not a complete answer for you, when debugging this sort of stuff, I cannot exagerate the usefulness of:
Image Viewer Utility[^]

It's an oldie but goldie article, regularly kept up to date by PJ Arends, an elder god of CP.

I would also look at R2_NOT for a real answer.

I agree with you,the article is good,but I can't draw lessons from it.

Sometimes I really do wonder if anybody, other than me, is actually still using that app, or if it is just collecting dust on the CP servers.

Can't get the 'aha, this is the error in your code' but have some questions/remarks:

You use CreateDIBSection() but you could use CreateCompatibleBitmap() also. Did you try that?
It seems there's no pen selected in your DC..

I'm sure have selected a pen,and the cover box's color is same with the pen's color.
CreateCompatibleBitmap() may be a good idea,but it seems that function is not simple to create bitmap in a memory dc.
Thanks Rozis,I'll try it later.

Re: Help me use SetROP2

Rozis5-Dec-09 13:04

To help you with that one try something like this:

hMemDC:=CreateCompatibleDC(hdc)
hbitmap:=CreatecompatibleBitmap(hdc,w,h)
hold:=SelectObject(hMemDC,hBitmap)
...

hdc is the DC to your screen
w is width, h is height of the bitmap

And, could you try R2_NOT ??

Good luck

How to put a timer in an OSI model application

chan114-Dec-09 3:28

4-Dec-09 3:28

I have an OSI model application that receives packets from datalink (via TCP sockets) examines it and send it to network layer to extract the socket information and packet type, etc. and sends to transport layer and then to application layer to send it to another application again via TCP socket for responses.

in my application when a socket goes down, I send a message from datalink to manager class that watches all 4 layers to notify the manager class for socket disconnection and manager class makes a message to send to application layer to notify it to stop receiving messages from 2nd application till the datalink socket is up again. sometimes the socket goes up and down very quickly like there is a glitch for 2-3 sec and in this case I don't want to report any socket disconnection to application layer. to summerize:
in datalink layer:
Socket 1 is down -> send socket status to manager class, Manager class should start a timer and if within 15 seconds the status of the socket remained the same, make the message for socket 1 and send it to application layer. (if the status changed to down and up within 15 seconds do not send any message to application layer)
the problem is my application is always sending and receiving messages and can't pause for a period of time.
How can I add this timer just for the socket down/up message that wouldn't trigger other application's process?

Thanks,

Chan

You can use a waitable timer to do this with calls like CreateWaitableTimer/SetWaitableTimer.
You can then wait on this timer using a wait function like WaitForSingleObject.
You will need to wait in a separate thread if you don't want to block your main thread.

Take a look at this sample - Using Waitable Timer Objects[^]

Sounds not like a coding problem but a design problem.

If I understood correctly... in some way you want to add a timer functionality to your application logic. There are many ways to achieve this and it depends on your current design/architecture. If your application is event based you can use timer events (e.g. WM_TIMER), if it is multi-threaded you can introduce a dedicated timer thread, if you use a 3rd party networking class it might offers some kind of timer.

In my applications I use a networking class that provides 1Hz timers and I use it for all kind of things, from timeouts to bandwidth limitations.

Hope it helps, M

hi friends,
i designed to get value from combobox like "com port, baudrate, party,time interval". after user selecting all parmeter and press button "connect" for example data =0x47,comport=com1, baudrate=9600,party=2 etc.. and sent to serial port then i should get 47
in the list box.
void CKeytestDlg::OpenPort( )
{
int i;

i = m_comport.GetCurSel();

m_Comm.SetCommPort(i+1);

for(i=0;i<4;i++)
if( i == m_bardrate.GetCurSel() )
{
m_bardrate.GetWindowText(baudrate);
}
if(baudrate == "2400" )
{
m_Comm.SetSettings ("2400,N,8,2");

}
if(baudrate == "4800")
{
m_Comm.SetSettings ("4800,N,8,2");

}
else
{
m_Comm.SetSettings ("9600,N,8,2");

}
m_Comm.SetInputMode (1); // Binary mode
m_Comm.SetPortOpen (TRUE); // Open it

}

void CKeytestDlg::OnButton1()
{
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
OpenPort();

CByteArray btArray;
BYTE bID;
bID = 0x47;
btArray.Add (bID); //Identifier byte
// btArray.Add (/*0x30);//*/bByte1); // DataByte 1

COleVariant var(btArray);
m_Comm.SetOutput(var); // Send the data.
m_Comm.SetPortOpen(FALSE);

}

EXCEL.EXE is not getting killed

KTTransfer3-Dec-09 22:55

I am working on Excel automation using VC++(unmanaged).

Following are the two issues:

1. Whenever Excel is closed , Excel.EXE is not getting closed.

My application should track opening and closing of Excel.

I released application pointer(Excel::_ApplicationPtr) but same problem.

I googled and got few solutions, but nothing worked.

I tried :

Excel::_ApplicationPtr XL.

XL->Quit();
XL->Release();
XL = NULL;

but none of these worked.

2. Is there any callback which tracks excel.exe is closed?

Please give me clue to solve these issues.

Regards,
KTTransfer.

Just try this - Set the 'Visible' property to TRUE and then call Quit method.
-- Its a guess, if not worked, you may have to find the EXCEL process and terminate the process using TerminateProcess function.

Are you calling GC.Collect()?

David Crow4-Dec-09 3:33

It must have something to do with the way you are accessing Excel's type library. I've got several Excel automation projects that close Excel just fine. The only difference is that they don't use the #import directive. The one that does use #import simply calls app->Quit().
