Naw! you hit the nail right on the head, and thanks for correcting me, i did mean rts. (not cts).
One last thing (since you've been a great help if you don't mind)
is is there away i can listen or lift a signal or irq if information has been sent to the computer?
Can i listen in on the Ring Indicator Line, or the CTS line to see what state there in?

Thanks  , I'm only a novice myself realy but its nice to be able to help someone. However, I fear I may now let you down since your next question is beyond me.

Of course not, feel free to ask away - I'll do my best.

I'm not exactly sure what you want to do here but I don't think I have had to do anything similar. In my systems the PC has always been in control of the comms, and initiates transfers.
The only idea I have is to use one of the flow control techniques like CtsDtrFlowControl or DsrRtsFlowControl, (not sure which - depends on which line you need to monitor). When you open the port you can set the method you want like this:-
m_port.Open(m_nCommPort,38400, CSerialPort::NoParity, 8, CSerialPort::OneStopBit,CSerialPort::CtsDtrFlowControl );
Then use WaitEvent to see if the relevent line changes. I'm not even sure if this would work and even if it does it seems like a very clumsy method. I only mention it because that is where I would start to look.
Have you noticed that at the bottom of peoples articles there is room to ask a question? Perhaps you could direct this one to one of the people who have written CSerial classes, or ask again in the VC++ forum.
Good Luck

Hi,
I have a dialogue box and somewhere inside it I want a box with a scrollbar that shows text from a .txt file (the text file saved external to the main program). The text file is just a readme.txt that I want my program to display (just as you see at the beginning of many install programs).
I am sure this is fairly simple, but I can't seem to work out how to do it. If anybody could give me any tips, I would be very grateful.
Thanks!
Keith

Create a multiline editbox in your dialog. Load the contents of the readme.txt into memory, then just set the text of the editbox.

My friends,
I have a mpeg2 decoder project. Now I have gotten YUV data buffer.Then I want to display them.However, according to above convertion formula,I have only gotten fuzzy image.Why it happens? How should I do?
Thanks.

YUV to RGB:
Y= 0.2990R+0.5870G+0.1140B
U=-0.1687R-0.3313G+0.5000B + 128
V= 0.5000R-0.4187G-0.0813B + 128
RGB to YUV:
R= 1.0Y + 1.402 (V-128)
G= 1.0Y - 0.34413(U-128)-0.71414(V-128)
B= 1.0Y + 1.772 (U-128)

Hello All,
I'm working on a windows service in XP which displays graphics.
I'd like the service to be able to display graphics ONLY to the current user's desktop.
Right now, when multiple users are logged into the machine through XP "Fast User Switching," the Service displays graphics only to the user that was logged in when the Service was started. No other user can see the graphics.
Does anyone know how to display graphics to a specific logged in user from a Service under XP?
Thanks.

I'm working on an (AI) agent for my browser, thats explains why I want it runing in a thread, and I'm accessing a global CStringArray(loaded at start up), why does it crash when I try to access it?
DWORD CBookmarks::BKOrg_ThreadStub(DWORD arg)
{
return ((CBookmarks*)arg)->BKOrg_Thread();
}
DWORD CBookmarks::BKOrg_Thread()
{
::MessageBox(GetSafeHwnd(),"Start","Thread",MB_OK);
::MessageBox(GetSafeHwnd(),m_strStr_Websites[0],"Threads",MB_OK);
// ::MessageBox(GetSafeHwnd(),GetFiles(m_strStr_Websites[0]),"Threads",MB_OK);
::MessageBox(GetSafeHwnd(),"Ended","Thread",MB_OK);
AfxEndThread(0);
return 0;
}
void CBookmarks::StartBKOrg_Thread(void )
{
pThread=AfxBeginThread((AFX_THREADPROC)&BKOrg_ThreadStub,(void*)this);
}
But when the MessageBox with the CString is commented out then it runs fine.

CString and CStringArray objects are different when they can be accessed by several threads simoultanously. (the former are thread safe the later not).
In MT apps you have to access CStringArray's by using syncronization objects e.g. CriticalSection's.
Example:
CCriticalSection m_Sync;
In your your cpp:
m_Sync.Lock();
m_Sync.Unlock();

Geez, I hate to be completely stupid but I have a Win32 app and I'm creating a window with some static text items. I can't remember how to set the background color on my static text to match the window background. I get a white window and text with the blue-grey background.
I tried the WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC callback and return (COLOR_WINDOW +1) but it doesn't change the text background. Do I have to resort to making my own static text class to set the background to the color I want ?

SetDialogBkColor(backgroundcolor,textcolor); You can use this in the application construction area and it will use these color for your entire application.
|
|
|
|
|
You can also use WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC but you need to return a handle to a brush or else it won't work. So create a brush based on the background color and then return it from WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC.

When I create a udp socket and then bind to port 0 and set receive timeout to 5 seconds and then call recv it the recv does not wait 5 secs but returns immediately. When I check the error code with WSAGetLastError the error code is WSAECONNRESET. Why is the connections reset ?
I am using UDP and I am not connected .
What I am doing wrong ?
Here are the steps again
1) Create a UDP
2) Bind to 0
3) Send something to a destination address
4) setsockopt SO_RCVTIMEO to 5 secs.
5) try to recv something within 5 secs. But here it returns WSAECONNRESET !!!
What is wrong ?

The recv function is called by TCP sockets.
When using a UDP socket, you should call the recvfrom function.

Hi,
I have trouble with this type, need help.
Consider this function declaration:
SCODE SetData(VARIANT FAR* pData)
What I have is a sample code which reads in data from a file and works just fine. A COleSafeArray is passed to the function as follows:
COleSafeArray osa;
SAFEARRAYBOUND sab;
sab.cElements = file.GetLength();
sab.lLbound = 0;
osa.Create(VT_UI1, 1, &sab);
void* buffer;
osa.AccessData(&buffer);
file.Read(buffer, file.GetLength());
osa.UnaccessData();
SetData(osa);
I want to pass a string to this function and can't figure it out how. Please help.

I would like to place text on a tool bar that is not associated with any button. I have seen this in other applications. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks.

I just want to know if it's possible to place a transparent bitmap on a dialog?
Exemple: I have a bitmap of a donuts.
I want the middle of the donuts to be transparent.
So that I can see the windows background.
Is it possible to do that?
thanks!
|
|
|
|

I believe you'll have to load the bitmap manually, alongside with a mask, and use MaskBlt() accordingly in the WM_PAINT handler.
I don't know a way to just drop the semi-transparent bitmap onto the dialog in the resource editor...

Eventhough the forrest is full of trees, there's still no tree between the trees.

You need to either apply your own mask, or if you're using W98 and higher only, you can use TransparentBlt. Or GDI+, of course.

I'm used to developing using the VisStudio 6.0. To add a new dialog to an existing project in that IDE I mapped the WM_INITDIALOG to the OnInitDialog. If you try to go into the code and add these manually they won't work, won't display on DoModal(). It's been my experience that you have to add the dialog class using the ClassWizard in order to make the mapping work.
Ok, question...using VisStudio.NET and unmanaged C++ how do I add this same message map? Adding OnInitDialog manually produces the same results I saw in 6.0

Use the Properties pane/window. One of the buttons is for overrides, another is for messages.

I'm trying to add property pages to a property sheet, and calling set wizard mode for a wizard style app. I have 2 questions, one how can i get the property page i add to fill the entire client area ( except for the area at the bottom that has the next, cancel buttons ), and how can i get the rectangle coordinates of those buttons so that i can change the dialog color to white except for where the buttons appear? I am overriding the WM_ERASEBKGND message to change the background color of the dialog area and this works fine except it applies to the area behind the buttons.
Thanks for the help

Inherit your own class from CPropertySheet and override its WM_ERASEBKGND message. To get the buttons from the class use the ids of IDOK, IDCANCEL, IDHELP and I think IDWIZNEXT, IDWIZPREV.
