Hi,
I'm trying to port a 3d game for Linux into Windows. I'm stuck right now, because the code has the commands ioperm, outb, and fmod which are Linux only. I'm using Visual Studio 2005. There are dlls out there but I don't know how to implement them. I have a screenshot:

Can you help me?

If it was, I would know. I've been contributing to it (SuperTuxKart) for a year now.
I found the fmod isn't Linux-only... But I try putting double, float, and long double and none of them work.

fmod must work on Windows.

The error you are getting for fmod indicates it can't decide which of the 3 versions of fmod that it should use.
you will need to explicitly declare or cast the type of your variable for the fmod call.
ioperm and outb are for port access on Linux.
ioperm gives access to the serial ports, which you may or may not need to call on Windows based on your security settings.
outb writes a byte to the specified port. You can open a serial port with a call to CreateFile, and specify the name of the port, such as "COM2". Then use WriteFile to write a single byte. Depending on how complicated the serial port access is in the game, you may want to look up the "Communication Functions" such as SetupComm.
Good Luck

I put in long double, double, and float in front of fmod and none of them work.
outb: you lost me at CreateFile.... I don't know much of anything about programming.

I get the error "type unexpected". for fmod prefixes. What should I do?

Hello, I am trying to interact dynamically with a 3rd party application dialog. This dialog has the usual OK and CANCEL buttons and an edit box. I want to be able to set the text in this edit box. I have managed to enumerate the handle of the dialog, but can't see how to find the ID of the edit box in order to get it's handle and thereby set the text. Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction !!

You can use the call GetWindow, and use the GW_CHILD flag to start out with. Then test for the type of class of that window with a call to GetClassName. You are looking for the "EDIT" class. When you find a window whose class matches that criteria, you will have the handle to the Edit control.
After testing each handle, if you have not found the correct window, then call for the next child window of the dialog, using the child window handle from the previous call to GetWindow, and this time use the GW_HWNDNEXT flag.
Ex.
HINSTANCE hInst;
HWND hDlg;
TCHAR className[_MAX_PATH];
...
HWND hChildWnd = ::GetWindow(hDlg, GW_CHILD);
while (hChildWnd != NULL)
{
WNDCLASS wndClass;
::GetClassInfo(hChildWnd, className, sizeof(className));
if (0 == ::_tcscmp(className, _T("EDIT"))
{
// This is the window handle that you want.
// Record the window handle here or do your special processing.
...
break;
}
hChildWnd = ::GetWindow(hChildWnd, GW_HWNDNEXT);
}
If there are more than one edit controls on the dialog things get a bit trickier.
You should look at the tool Spy++ that came with Visual Studio, it will allow you to peek at all of the important data regarding the windows, its class type, id etc.

Hello all;
I write a simple program to calculate quadratic equation with function in c.
<br />
#include <stdio.h><br />
#include <math.h><br />
float solver(float a,float b, float c){<br />
float delta,x1,x2;<br />
delta=(b*b)-4*a*c;<br />
x1=(-b+sqrt(delta))/2*a;<br />
x2=(-b-sqrt(delta))/2*a;<br />
return(x1,x2);<br />
}<br />
void main(){<br />
float a,b,c,d; <br />
printf("a = ");<br />
scanf("%f", &a);<br />
printf("b = ");<br />
scanf("%f", &b);<br />
printf("c = ");<br />
scanf("%f", &c);<br />
printf("%f\n%f",solver(a,b,c));<br />
<br />
}
the result for a=1,b=2,a=1 is
-1.00000
0.00000
and for any other numbers the second result is 0.00000
Where is the problem.
Thanks anyone help me.

-here you try to print 2 float values but feed printf only with one.
hasani2007 wrote: return(x1,x2);
-this is not the way to return 2 values from a function (i guess this is what you are tryin to do), use output parameters, a struct, global variables, ..., e.g like:
void solver(float a,float b, float c, float &outX1, float &outX2){
...
outX1 = x1;
outX2 = x2;
}
...
float x1, x2;
solver(a,b,c,x1,x2)
printf("%f\n%f",x1,x2);
...
or
struct result
{
float x1;
float x2;
};
result solver(float a,float b, float c){
...
result res;
res.x1 = x1;
res.x2 = x2;
return res;
}
...
result res = solver(a,b,c);
printf("%f\n%f",res.x1,res.x2);

I'm not an expert in the details of C/C++, but the solver function definition shows a float should be returned and it appears you're trying to return a tuple.

Your program to calculate quadratic equations with .
Input MUST have the format:
AX2 + BX + C = 0
EXAMPLE: input the equation
2X2 + 4X -30 = 0 as:
A= 2 B= 4 C= -30
The answers should be 3 and -5.
x1=3
x2=-5
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
float x1,x2;
bool solver(float a,float b, float c)
{
float delta = sqrt( (b*b) - (4*a*c) );
if (!a) return false;
x1 = ( -b + delta)/(2*a);
x2 = ( -b - delta)/(2*a);
return true;
}
int main()
{
float a=2,
b=4,
c=-30;
if ( solver(a, b ,c) ) printf("x1=%f\nx2=%f\n",x1,x2);
return 0;
}

Please, don't give such a bad solution!!!
I've adjusted it to avoid global variables:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
bool solver(float a,float b, float c, float &x1, float &x2)
{
float delta = sqrt( (b*b) - (4*a*c) );
if (!a) return false;
x1 = ( -b + delta)/(2*a);
x2 = ( -b - delta)/(2*a);
return true;
}
int main()
{
float a=2,
b=4,
c=-30;
float x1,x2;
if ( solver(a, b ,c, x1, x2) ) printf("x1=%f\nx2=%f\n",x1,x2);
return 0;
}

I want to add a comment to Code-o-mat's reply. The value of the expression (x1,x2) is the value of x2. You were trying to return two float values, however, you did not pay attention to the "," operator, and thought that (x1,x2) represents the two value you wanted to return. The compiler actually returned just the value of x2. Please read the documentation of C/C++ for the operator ",".

Yes you can use one single button for more than one behaviour.
Here is how.
If you have the coordinates of a point in device coordinates
and want to find the corresponding position in logcal view -
use CDC::DPtoLP to convert the device coordinates to logcal coordinates.
Call on OnPrepareDC first to set the mapping mode and factor.
For example: Here is a WM_LEFTBUTTONDOWN handler that performs a simple hit test
to determine whether the click point lies in the upper or lower half of the logcal view.
CPoint objects passed to OnLButtonDown and other mouse message handlers
always contain device coordinates so conversion is essential.
void CMyView::OnLButtonDown(UINT nFlags, CPoint Point)
{
CPoint pos=Point;
CClientDC dc (this);
OnPrepareDC(&dc);
dc.DPtoLP(&pos);
CSize size=GetTotalSize();
if(::abs( pos.y ) < (size.cy/2) )
{
}
else
{
}
}

i want to write ini file by WritePrivateProfileString function with out and delay. currently it take 2 to 3 seconds beacuse this function is work on cache file of ini file.
if system is being restart that time then we are unable to retrive information .
please suggest me how can i update ini file
|
|
|
|
|
Try WritePrivateProfileString(NULL, NULL, NULL, L"inifile.ini")
|
|
|
|
|
ok, this makes absolutley no sense as to why this is happening...
Here is the scenerio:
I have an INI file that gets uploaded into some product durring the test.
I have to modify the INI file before upload, so I do so using WritePrivateProfileString(x,x,x,x). Return value is good, no errors.
Read the settings I just changed in the INI file via the GetPrivateProfileString(x,x,x,x), values returned match what I changed them to,
ok, stop there.. (via breakpoint or messagebox)
Now, go into windows explorer and open the INI file and none of the data in the INI file has changed per the write command.
Now, exit the program, or stop it if in the enviornment. Now go and read the INI data from the INI file in windows explorer.. The data is now changed.
Or you can simplely write some data to a bogus file and it will force the INI file to get updated...
OK, now the reason this is such a problem is that after I modify the INI file I have to start the upload process, but I can't because the upload procss graps the file from windows, except the file hasn't been updated yet to the values I wrote using the writeprivateprofilestring command.
This makes no sense to me. Why is windows waiting to update the actual file? Is the a command I need to send to force windows to release the cach so that the file gets updated?
Hopefully someone can explaing what is going on here... Any information will help.. I hope I am so confused by this....

hello, i would like to write a small service that checks programs that write to registry.
does anyone have hints on this subjects?
i just wanna detect it.
detectif an aplication write/read fro the registry.
and if needed prevent from writing to the registry.
how to achieve this.

My guess would be to try to inject a dll into every process and hook the registry access methods. But as said, just a guess. Google for "injecting a DLL" and "hooking api calls" if you don't understand what i mean...

yes, that's what i wanna do, hook a dll into 'windows' or explorer.exe.
just like sopme virusses, accept i wanna prevent them.
