Re: Problem with doublebyte chars in Japanese

Sure ..

say with a text having 6 double byte chars as below and if I try to find word My then my search is displaced by 6 chars
and the pos is returned at "th"

" DIM a;DIM b;{ ‚ ‚¢‚¤‚¦‚¨‚ ‚¢‚¤‚¦‚¨‚ ‚¢‚¤‚¦‚¨ } My Month "

using ascii version functions in my code

len = lstrlen(lpSrc)+1;  //Error  Length is returned as 6 extra bytes

_fstrstr( lpStr, (LPSTR)szFind );

   if( p ) {

    pos = p - lpStr;   

   }

Using MBCS functions

len = _mbslen((unsigned char *)lpSrc)+1; // Length is correctly returned
ucP = _mbsstr((unsigned char *)lpStr, (unsigned char *)(LPSTR)szFind );
			
   if(ucP)
   {
	pos = ucP - (unsigned char *)lpStr; // Error here the difference is 6 extra bytes
   }

This problem happens only in japanese OS and that too in my application's editor.
Removing the XP manifest file from my application folder seems to work fine.
Doing a sample application of the same and testing in both english and japanese OS is working fine.

Now I am changing my code to MBCS and then counting the double byte chars in my code and adjusting the position accordingly using below code.

int cPos = 0,count =0;
				while(cPos<pos)
				{
					if( IsDBCSLeadByte(lpStr[cPos] ))
					{
						cPos = cPos + 2;
						count++;
					}
					else
						cPos++;
				}
				pos = pos - count;

Thanks

Hi All ,

I am having a Project.lib and i need to convert it into Project.dll

When i Build Project.dll i am getting linker errors:

Sample.lib(Program.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall Method::Method(void)" (??0Method@@QAE@XZ)
Sample.lib(Program.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall Method::~Method(void)" (??0Method@@QAE@XZ))
Debug/Project.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

I have added the Sample.lib to added Project Settings to be Linker and this class Method is used as Base class to one of the classes in Program.obj

The definition and declaration for class Main is in another Project all together which is an exe.

How can i solve this error?

Thanks for your time,
Hari

This typically looks like you forgot to provide a body for the constructor and destructor of your Method class.

You have a call to a Method() constructor and destructor in your module Program, but you have not included the body of the class in your project. Alternativel you need a extern "C" declaration around your class.

How to safely release the memory when I dynamic create the the dialog ?

I try this way ,but feel it doesn't safety.

#include "TestDlg.h"

class CMainDlg : CDialog
{
public:
    CTestDlg    *m_pTestDlg;
    void ShowDlg();
    void FreeDlg();
}

void CMainDlg::ShowDlg()
{
    m_pTestDlg = new CTestDlg();
    m_pTestDlg->Create(IDD_TEST_DLG,this);
    m_pTestDlg->CenterWindow();
    m_pTestDlg->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWNORMAL);
    m_pTestDlg->UpdateWindow();
}

void CMainDlg::FreeDlg()
{
    if( m_pTestDlg != NULL )
    {
        delete m_pTestDlg;
    }
}

Is this right ?

You could try the following Smile | :)

{
  if (m_pTestDlg) {
    if (m_pTestDlg->GetSafeHwnd()) {
      m_pTestDialog->EndDialog(IDCANCEL);
    }
    delete m_pTestDlg;
    m_pTestDlg = NULL; // the same line should be placed in the main dialog constructor
  }
}

void CMainDlg::OnDestroy()
{
  FreeDlg(); // an extra check :)
}

Another point is that there is no point in having a pointer for your dialog if you at any point are worried about memory. You could just use CTestDlg m_testDlg;

Using a pointer as you have has only one advantage. You can use a forward declaration of CTestDlg in your header file to avoid compile time dependencies. This will reduce compilation time if you later make changes to CTestDlg. In practice, this applies to large project only.

Also, the UpdateWindow() call is superfluous.

Normally I'd agree about using a member rather than a dynamically created object. However in the case of a modeless dialogue box you can have the problem of resetting the members of the dialogue (if the dialogue box is closed and reopened) which can lead to some funky fiddling with manually calling destructors and placement new. As soon as you start thinking about that you might as well just say sod it and recreate the object as you need to use it.

Ash

When having a modal dialog I have never found the use of dynamically allocate the object. I just create it as automatic on the stack in whatever function I need it.

If I had a brain I'd be dangerous. I should really proof read what I write more. There was a finger faux-pas in my response, I should have said "modeless."

For a modal dialogue I wholeheartedly agree - you'd be cracked to not stick it on the stack.

A quick point...

IF you're creating a modeless dialogue box (created with Create) then make sure you kill it off using DestroyWindow, not EndDialog.

IF you do and you're sure that CTestDlg is only going to be created dynamically then overide PostNCDestroy to clean up the C++ object. It's a bit disgusting but there are so many MFC classes that do it you might as well join in the fun! The advantage is that all you have to do is destroy the window and it'll clean up after itself:

void CTestDialog::PostNCDestroy()
{
    delete this;
}

Cheers,

Ash

The statement "delete this" is amusing. I always add the comment "// hari kari".

Anyway, common practice is to keep a pointer to the modeless dialog in the object that creates it so you can just bring it forward if it is reinvoked ie., the pointer is not null. What I do in this case is I pass the address of that pointer to the dialog object so it can null it when it is closed - usually preceding the "delete this" statement. The PostNCDestroy method then looks like this :

void CTestDialog::PostNCDestroy()
{
    if( m_pSelf )
        *m_pSelf = NULL;    // null parent's pointer to us
    delete this;
}

That is the best and easiest way I have come up with to deal with the issue so far.

in addition to what Aescleal told, over-riding PostNcDestroy is useful when you are dealing with a number of pop up child windows and letting the user to close them dynamically.

You can traverse all files in a file system by using the FindFirstFile[^], FindNextFile[^] and FindClose[^] API. That will take a while. You could then check for changes using FindFirstChangeNotification[^] et al functions.

Anti virus programs use different techniques, like hooks[^] for file access functions, and maybe even rootkits.

Just a few ideas.

Now the stack from USER32!SendMessageW+0x7f is pretty consistent and it always seems to be message 0x201 (WM_LBUTTONDOWN). Once in this state control is never returned to my code so I am sure I am missing something but I do not know what.

I don't have any code that is looking for WM_LBUTTONDOWN and I have not set anything relating to it, as far as I can tell, and I know when the problem occurs I have not been anywhere near the LBUTTON on my mouse!?!?

In searching around I came across a site in German that says the problem is caused by missing WS_GROUP from the RC. So I added some and I am still having the same problem.

If anyone has had this before and/or can give me some ideas as to what I am missing I would appreciate it.

Many thanks
