If the methods are in your code, you should know why they are returning 4 and 12.

The simplest thing that comes to my mind is: make a picture that shows your text and place that into your picture control (loaded from resource e.g.). Wouldn't that work for you?

The first thing to explain is what you mean by a picture control. Is this something you created yourself, a third party class or an MFC class?

1. Respond to WM_SETTEXT in your control's WindowProcedure, create copy of string
2. When called upon to redraw, the control should check to see if an image has been assigned
3. If so, display image
- If not, use DrawText or TextOut to display the text received via the WM_SETTEXT message.

I have a strange problem : I succesfully download a file from a server with follow code :

C++

BOOL CUpdateThread::DownloadFile(CString sAddress, CStringArray& saResult)
{
	CString sTemp;
	BOOL bRet = FALSE;
	CInternetSession ISession;
	CInternetFile* pIFile = NULL;

	try
	{
		pIFile = (CInternetFile*)ISession.OpenURL(sAddress);
		while(pIFile->ReadString(sTemp))saResult.Add(sTemp);
		bRet = TRUE;
	}
	catch(CInternetException* pInternetException)
	{
		pInternetException->GetErrorMessage(m_pMessage->GetBuffer(255),255);
		m_pMessage->ReleaseBuffer();
		pInternetException->Delete();
	}
	catch(CException* pException)
	{
		pException->GetErrorMessage(m_pMessage->GetBuffer(255),255);
		m_pMessage->ReleaseBuffer();
		pException->Delete();
	}

	if(pIFile)
	{
		pIFile->Close();
		delete pIFile;
	}

	ISession.Close();

	return bRet;
}

let say that with this code, I download from an server a text file, test.txt ( a list of words, nothing special ). I change the content of the text file to server, I download again the same text file, test.txt, but content is the same( doesn't have changes ). I stop the application, start again, and if I download again the text file, test.txt, the contain is now changed ... why ?

20 seconds with Google finds information about using and/or disabling caching of data locally and in the server/gateways.

dwFlags 
The flags describing how to handle this connection. See Remarks for more information about the valid flags. The valid flags are: 

INTERNET_FLAG_TRANSFER_ASCII   The default. Transfer the file as ASCII text.

INTERNET_FLAG_TRANSFER_BINARY   Transfer the file as a binary file.

INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD   Get the data from the wire even if it is locally cached.

INTERNET_FLAG_DONT_CACHE   Do not cache the data, either locally or in any gateways.

INTERNET_FLAG_SECURE   This flag is applicable to HTTP requests only. It requests secure transactions on the wire with Secure Sockets Layer or PCT.

INTERNET_OPEN_FLAG_USE_EXISTING_CONNECT   If possible, reuse the existing connections to the server for new requests generated by OpenUrl instead of creating a new session for each connection request.

INTERNET_FLAG_PASSIVE   Used for an FTP site. Uses passive FTP semantics. Used with CInternetConnection of OpenURL

CStdioFile::open will not throw an exception, going mad

charlieg15-Aug-11 5:58

it has to be something silly. Given the code snippet below, it is part of some code that determines if m_sLogFilename is valid. So, in my testing, I deliberately pass in a crazy name say "M:/no/way/my.log. This device and directory do not exist, so I expect traceFile.Open to throw an exception.

It does not. In fact, the code passes on to the write operation when it completely craters with an access violation.

Why is the .open succeeding?

C++

CStdioFile        traceFile;

try
{
   traceFile.Open(m_sLogFilename, CFile::modeCreate |
                  CFile::modeNoTruncate | CFile::modeWrite | CFile::shareDenyNone |
                  CFile::typeText);
}
catch (CFileException* pEx)
{
   int m_cause = pEx->m_cause;
   int m_IOsError = pEx->m_lOsError;
   FileExceptionToText(m_cause);

   pEx->Delete();

   return false;
}
try
{
   traceFile.Write("Dummy text", 10);
}
catch (CFileException* pEx)
{
   int m_cause = pEx->m_cause;
   int m_IOsError = pEx->m_lOsError;
   FileExceptionToText(m_cause);

   pEx->Delete();

   return false;
}

traceFile.Close();

According to MSDN[^]: "While the CFile constructor will throw an exception in an error condition, Open will return FALSE for error conditions."

(CStdioFile inherits Open from CFile.)

Amazing. I have examples from MSDN that are useless in this case.
Thanks for pointing it out.

I just updated the code with the "other" way of doing things, and it

MySQL and ODBC!?

Hadi Dayvary13-Aug-11 8:31

Hi
We have an accounting software (almost 50,000 lines) with MFC7 and our database is MSAccess (using CRecordset).
Now we must use it in network and supprting multi user is important.
We wanna know how we can test MySQL speed with ODBC driver.

Because we have used CRecordset we can move to MySQL with ODBC very easy and it takes a little time.
But we created a test project for using MySQL and it's ODBC driver. Just one time it worked fast (30ms) to read a record from a table and about 20 all other times it took too mush time(500ms).

Can anyone give us an advice or trick or some link to improve or test the MySQL ODBC driver?
