What's the purpose of the above line?

xivShin wrote:

Is the compiler complaining of the above line? Strange! What compiler are you using?

first address the issue pointed out by the esteemed CPallini

then, try either

char str[74] = "now # is the time for all # good men to come to the # aid of their country";

or

char * str = "now # is the time for all # good men to come to the # aid of their country";

if b is a pointer:
char *b = str;
or
if b is an array and you need to copy the whole null terminated string to it:
#define SIZE 200 // or any suitable value
char b[SIZE];
strcpy( b, str );

One suggestion: please use meaningful names as variable names instead of b

You don't have a variable b in your program. Therefore it's hard to determine what the message means -- we don't know the type of b. So you need to offer more details.

char* b = str;

But remember that b is merely a pointer to the same string. If you want a copy then you need to use strcpy() or some derivative.

CListCtrl text underline?

Hello,
i need to show text underlined in CListCtrl when someone goes with the mouse over them, the text is always URL Adress,
and when the mouse is over a other cell it should be a just normal text!
My solution is not good, because the row is bigger then before and it dont restore the text to previos style when i move the mouse to other cell!
(I try with CDC, CFont, LOGFONT, CRect etc.!)

I hope that is understandable what i mean!?
Is there any way to do this!
(i think i see here a sample with this, but i cant find it!)

Thanx for any help!

Hi,

I am trying to run a .bat file through command prompt using code via ShellExecute but not able to do so.

ShellExecute(NULL,_T("open"),_T("cmd.exe"),_T("b.bat iiso.img"),szDefaultDir,SW_SHOW);

I am getting command prompt but not able to execute command (bat file)?

I think you may need the "/C" option to get cmd to run the batch file thus:

ShellExecute(NULL,_T("open"),_T("cmd.exe"),_T("/C b.bat iiso.img"),szDefaultDir,SW_SHOW);

I think its a bit messy doing that this way .. but you can START a seperate process as hidden from within the CMD session though .. so I think the command becomes

/C START /B b.bat iiso.img

note the 'START /B'. If you go to a cmd session and do a 'help start' you'll see what I mean.

The different way is to have an exe that does a createprocess and sets hidden etc on the window. There a utility here (below) and doubtless others around that may help

Tracking balloon tooltip always appears below its tracking point

I use the CBalloonMsg class from codeproject to display balloons, but I can't find a way to make it appear above its tracking point. The class uses the TTM_TRACKPOSITION message to position the balloon, but this message only takes one argument, which is the tracking point. How can I specify the rectangle of the body of the balloon?

waveOutWrite functions properly under WinXP but not under Win7

I have a problem with my mfc application.
In the application I open an usb output device, prepare a data block for playback
and then send the data with waveOutWrite. Afterwards I unprepare the data block and
then I close the usb device.
Under Windows XP my program works properly but under Windows 7 it fails.
When I watch the usb interface with an analyzer I see that under WinXP the prepared data
block is sent but under Win7 there are only sent zero bytes and not the data block.

Why does my application not work under Win7?

I am thankful for your answers.

Does waveOutWrite fails (did you check the return value)?
Could you please post the relevant code?

waveOutWrite does not fail.

Here is the relevant code:

OpenDevice_out();      // initialises the wave format and calls waveOutOpen ()
	PrepareBuffers_out();       // calls waveOutPrepareHeader ()
	
        mRes=waveOutWrite(m_hWaveOut, m_stWHDR_out, sizeof(WAVEHDR));
				
	if(mRes!=MMSYSERR_NOERROR)
	{
	     StoreError(mRes,FALSE,"File: %s ,Line Number:%d",__FILE__,__LINE__);
	     throw m_csErrorText;
	}

	UnPrepareBuffers_out();     // calls waveOutUnprepareHeader
	waveOutClose(m_hWaveOut);
	waveOutPause(m_hWaveOut);
	waveOutReset(m_hWaveOut);

I found the same symptoms with Windows 7 x64 and a Creative Labs X-Fi Surround card. waveOutWrite to the card was not audible, from both 32 and 64 bit executables.

You might like to look at http://www.pctipsbox.com/voip-apps-can-hang-on-windows-7 which confirms that there is a known problem with Windows 7.

As regards a solution, I notice that some sound does come through if the wave buffer is long enough. My original(inaudible) buffer was 2ms long - a single click. But if extended to 2 seconds, the sound (or at least the end of it) is audible. Time for some experiments ...

... I'm in luck for once. What seems to be happening is that Win7 is truncating the end of the buffer. In my case, it's the last 20 milliseconds or so. So by extending the buffer with 30ms of silence, I can get the result I want. No way, of course, of knowing if this will work with other cards, or even will always work with this card.

Another observation is that the buffer truncation didn't happen when I simultaneously played audio though the USB card from a separate application. As it happens, the application was a DirectSound C# signal generator, set to be silent.

Hope this helps.

Yes, you can use Find, ReverseFind, Left, Middle, Right and other methodes...
