if you catch (...), you'll catch all exceptions. There is a com_exception, or similar, but I forget exactly what it's called.

just found out...
try
{
pRs->Open(vNull, vNull, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly, adCmdUnknown);
}
catch(_com_error &e)
{
//Additional error handling here.
cout << "ERROR: Failed to open recordset." << endl;
cout << "ERROR msg: " << e.ErrorMessage() << endl;
}
But the error msg is soooo vague:
Unknown error 0x800A0E79
I'm banging my head against my cactus but apparently it doesnt help

In the tools menu of VC is an error number checker. Put this number into it and it will pop up a dialog that says 'error message not found'. Or, 1 in 1,000 times, it knows what this HRESULT means, and then it tells you

tried, it says cant find the message ("Message not found") with "0x800A0e79"..
the tool is called "Error Lookup"
catch(_com_error &e)
{
//Additional error handling here.
cout << "ERROR: Failed to open recordset." << endl;
cout << "ERROR: e.ErrorMessage(): " << e.ErrorMessage() << endl;
hr = e.Error();
cout << "ERROR: HRESULT_CODE( e.Error() ): " << HRESULT_CODE(hr) << endl;
}
But if Error Lookup HRESULT_CODE(hr)==3705 gives the following msg "Bad or missing LAN Manager root directory." --- this doesnt make a lot of sense coz it's a local SQL server and previous statements all executed with good HRESULT==S_OK

sorry, for error = 3705, Error Lookup yeilds "Message Not Found"
oops

how can u enumerate tables given a database?
btw, we use ADO for database access. and we use SQL server.
thanks!

Read my article called MSDEGUI - the queries I use there should work for you. It's in the new list on the main page.
No, I don't remember them, or I'd just tell you

just scan yr article briefly. isnt it for .NET?
anyway, i'm building all my code with VC6 - lots of anti microsoft types here in this company.
anyway, i am thinking, perhaps I can read MyDB.Tables.sysobjects
there're three columns of interests:
a. "names" -- object name: a simple string
b. "id" -- object id: just a simple integer
c. "xtype" and code as follows:
Object type. Can be one of these object types:
C = CHECK constraint
D = Default or DEFAULT constraint
F = FOREIGN KEY constraint
L = Log
FN = Scalar function
IF = Inlined table-function
P = Stored procedure
PK = PRIMARY KEY constraint (type is K)
RF = Replication filter stored procedure
S = System table
TF = Table function
TR = Trigger
U = User table
UQ = UNIQUE constraint (type is K)
V = View
X = Extended stored procedure
So, I will just count and retrieve an array of names (names - column one of sysobjects table) for all entries where xtype==U

Yes, so ? The query remains the same, all that changes is the layer that is talking to SQL Server.

I suspect that is exactly what I did in the article I pointed you to.

just remember in addition to cursor type, u can also specify whether you want server side cursor or client side cursor isnt it?
can u tell me where I should read up in this regard?

Dunno, a book on ADO ? O'Reilley have a good one, from memory.

Simple solution - use OpenSchema method of ADO Connection object:
pConn->OpenSchema(adSchemaTables,vParams)
where vParams is a Safearray containing the following null, schema_name, null, null. This then returns a recordset which contains all of the tables in the schema. To enumerate the fields of a table, use similar:
m_pConn->OpenSchema(adSchemaColumns, vParams)
where vParams contains null, schema_name, table_name, null. Again returns recordset that can be used to get all sorts of information.
If you need a fuller example, fell free to e-mail me. vParams cna be used to control the operation in a much more detailed way than here, but this provides basic naming information.Also, has the advantage that will work with any DB type (SQLServer, Oracle, Access etc).
Hope it helps

Hi, I have an CEdit control which can be resized. The user can switch from a single line edit control to a multi line control if he decides so.
How do I detect the number of lines (a CEdit can hold not actually has)? I need to catch the switch from a single - to multi line layout and change some atributes.
Thanks

Do you mean visible lines in the edit control? There is no limit to the number of lines a control can have upto the 64K byte limit of \r\n pairs 63336/2 = 32768 possible lines held.
If its just the number of lines the control could display without a scrollbar, then you can compute this by gettting the client area size of the control, the DC and the font, and then count the number of lines like this:
int ComputeLines(int ID)
{
CWnd *pWnd = GetDlgItem(ID) ;
if (!pWnd)
return 0;
CEdit *pEdit = static_cast<CEdit*>(pWnd);
if (!pEdit)
return 0 ;
CDC *pDC = pEdit->GetDC() ;
CFont *pFont = pEdit->GetFont();
CFont *pOldFont = pDC->SelectObject(pFont);
CRect rect ;
pEdit->GetCLientRect(&rect);
CSize size = pDC->GetTextExtent("A", 1);
pDC->SelectObject(pOldFont);
ReleaseDC(pDC);
return rect.Height() / size.cy;
}
OK, the above it untested and types directly so, it may, may not work correctly

thousand thanks, Roger!

PS: instead of GetDC/ReleaseDC I might better use a CClientDC(this), which is an MFC encapsulation of this AFAIK.

Just came across this. Very good sample collection on connection string format, just want to share it with u all:
http://www.able-consulting.com/MDAC/ADO/Connection/OLEDB_Providers.htm#OLEDBProviderForSQLServer
And to moderator:
is it possible that u put a similar tutorial on your site? It's very handy and will be very helpful later on.
Thanks.

I have a background in my CListCtrl. I don't want it to scroll though. How does one stop that from happening? Thanks for any help.
|
|
|
|

Repaint the background everytime you do any scroll event, perhaps?
But you'll need to double buffer your painting to prevent flicker I think!
Perhaps not much for help this but anyway...

I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with using Waitable timers.
I am in the process of writing a scheduler, similar to SQL Server's Job scheduling utility. The reason i need it is because SQL server doesn't meet all of my criterias.
Now, I have been reviewing various ways of scheduling jobs and I posted earlier on this topic, except for it got buried under various other posts.
I was wondering whether Waitable Timers or TimerQueues are good candidates for a scheduling device? I guess what I would be doing is create all these timers for every job scheduled and then waitonmultiple objects. And I guess my WaitOnMulitple object parameter must be set to true, to allow things to go through as soon as they are signalled.
So, are there any issues and problems that these two suffer from?
thanks

I'm ranging through a CEdit object's lines, but every time I do the following, LineLength() returns the length of the first edit line. 
Any help? I understand this function, LineLength(i), to return the length of the edit control line, whose index is zero-based, i. That much is correct, right?
CString sLine;
for(int i=0; i<m_Edit->GetLineCount();i++)
{
m_Edit->GetLine(i, sLine.GetBuffer(m_Edit->LineLength(i)), m_Edit->LineLength(i));
...
...
}
