I am using mmioxxxx library / API to build and save wave in RIFF file.
I can record the audio wave, save it in file and play it Windows Media Player.
However, I cannot load the file and verify the RIFF format in my code properly.
The “data” chunk is not aligned – I get two characters and then “da”.
Consequently I cannot use waveOutOpen and play the file myself.
All audio recording code presented here either does not save and load the RIFF file to play it or skips some header information.
I would like a sample code using either CFile or mmioxxxx file to compare with my code so I can find this “bug”.
I do not need anything else, I think I got the wave API covered.
Any constructive help will be as always appreciated.
PS I feel this is a long shot so I did not post my code. I do that if requested.
Cheers
Vaclav

I think I found it - the header structures if file saved and file loaded did not match.

I've had a similar sounding experience when writing out file-header structures in the past.
For me, the solution was as simple as checking that sizeof(my_header_struct) did indeed equal the correct size of the header struct. I found that it didn't and also found parts of it becoming misaligned.
After determining that the structure size was wrong, I found that the compiler was 'thoughtfully' padding the struct for me to a 4/8/16 byte multiple to make it quicker to access in memory. It was as simple as compiler directives to ensure that the struct was as specified and did not include this padding.
Using gcc, the relevant directives are:
#pragma pack(push, xxx)
#pragma pack(pop) Where xxx is the size of the alignment block you'd like - i.e if xxx = 2 then the struct will be padded to a multiple of 2 bytes. For my use, xxx very nearly always = 1. Just place the first directive before the struct is defined and the second after it, you may place several structs between the directives if needed.
I don't know if this is/was the problem - digging through old code, I can remember that this was needed for BMP headers, and if memory serves me correctly - I also needed this when reading the sound samples from the old games Doom & Rott.

I have narrowed it down to missaligment of RIFF "data" descriptor.
I found one coder just doing a do / while loop to find the "data".
I am doing just that, it is a kluge but so far so good.
I am ready to get the real data out.
Thanks for the suggestions.

I appears that RIFF WAVE "format" chunk has an additional and so far unidentified variable.
It suppose to be used when the wave compression format is different than 1 = no compression.
That is why the actual data chunk identifier "data" was missalligned.

I'm just being lazy here but is there a way in the Visual C++ IDE (any version) to have it tell you what exceptions have been declared (by any of the methods or methods called by those methods etc...) to be possibly thrown?
The only way I know of is to dig through MSDN researching each method call which can get time consuming since there are so many overloaded method variations that I tend not to assume the possible exceptions that could be thrown by one overloaded method will be the same as another overloaded method.

WinError.h contains all of the error codes generally thrown by WinAPI/MFC calls, but generally speaking, there's no clear way of knowing what each method will throw without looking into the documentation associated with that specific method.

I'm just trying to quickly identify which catch handlers (if any) I would need at the level in the code where I'd want to handle them. Maybe some magic hover help that would allow you to see the summary of all the "throw" declarations for the method call, definition, or declaration your cursor is currently hovering over.
I apologize that I didn't word my question very good, now that I've reread it I guess it did sound like I just wanted a list of all the exceptions that could ever get thrown anywhere. 
Regardless, thanks for taking the time to reply.

Sorry, no such magic...

A basic rule of exception handling is also that you only handle exceptions that you are aware and knowledgeable of. You shouldn't just catch any and all exceptions, except for maybe at the top level of your code.
So, you need to look into the documentation to see what exceptions are thrown and how to handle them anyway. It'd still be nice indeed to see what exceptions could be thrown so you can quickly check what you'd have to handle, but I'm guessing the documentation is quick enough for it anyhow, since you'll need to refer to it anyway to understand how to respond to the exception.

Hi Developers,
I want to send TVN_BEGINLABELEDIT message from a custom tree control, whenever i will press F2 key( to rename the label ).In custom control I have handled PreTranslateMessage, in which after mapping VK_F2, I have written
SendMessage(TVN_BEGINLABELEDIT, WPARAM(hSelectedItem), 0L);
But in other file ( in which I have handled TVN_BEGINLABELEDIT ), doesn't get called.
Is there any mistake in SendMessage() calling or some other issue.
Thanks in Advance.

Try showing a bit more of your code so we can see exactly what you are doing - and don't forget to put it within <pre> tags for formatting. Is this MFC or Win32?

TVN_BEGINLABELEDIT is a notification, which isn't the same as a message. The message in this case is WM_NOTIFY.
You'll probably want to use TVM_EDITLABEL[^].

I have extended a CComboBox and implemented three messages (or events) like below
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CComboCtrl, CComboBox)
ON_WM_KEYDOWN()
ON_CONTROL_REFLECT(CBN_EDITUPDATE, &CComboCtrl::OnCbnEditupdate)
ON_CONTROL_REFLECT(CBN_SELCHANGE, &CComboCtrl::OnCbnSelchange)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
Now when a selection changes it calls OnCbnSelchange message-handler. I am using this class inside a dialog class. I have tried to register a message handler in that dialog class for CBN_SELCHANGE event but I think it is not receiving CBN_SELCHANGE event or it is sending that event to custom control. How can I handle CBN_SELCHANGE event inside a dialog class.
This is the implementation inside derived class (or custom control class)
void CComboCtrl::OnCbnSelchange()
{
GetLBText(GetCurSel(),m_str_sel);
}

It's a long time since I used MFC message maps, but it looks to me like you are capturing the CBN_SELCHANGE notification in your control, so the dialog box won't see it. I think you may need to move that notification to the dialog or reflect it back somehow. Pual Di Lascia wrote an excellent paper[^] on MFC message processing which I recommend to anyone struggling with this subject.

How can i load a bitmap on dialog so that i can drag that bitmap using CImagelist.
Anyone having any idea please share with me.
Any links or any samples will be great

What do you mean by drag? If you are trying to move it to a different window then you need to implement drag and drop as described in some of these links[^]. If you just mean that you want to move the control around within its parent window then you just need to capture your mouse and redraw the control at whatever position the mouse takes you to.

Hi,
I am using multimap and key value can be duplicates.
I can find first key value using find() function.
But how to get next duplicate key value?
