I have a database where one of the columns is a DECIMAL type. Are there any functions in the C runtime library or Windows API for working with this type directly?

If you need to extract it from a string, just do:
double MyData = atof(szMyTextData);

I feel kinda stupid asking this... but when I try creating my edit box I can't get it to look 3D!!! 
The font that the edit box has is damn ugly too! 
How to get away from these things!?
I never had these problems when I did the same on VC++ 6! Now I'm using Vc++ 7

Set the font to the parent's font.
pYourEdit->SetFont(pYourEdit->GetParent()->GetFont());
or just simply:
pYourEdit->SetFont(GetFont());
, if you are doing it from the code of parent's window.

Sorry I didn't tell you that I don't use MFC!
I create my edit box like this:
wndCmdEdit = CreateWindow("edit",
NULL,
WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE |
WS_BORDER | ES_LEFT | ES_MULTILINE,
5, 130,
385, 20,
hWnd,
(HMENU)IDC_MAINWNDEDIT,
hInst,
NULL);

For 3D look, use the CreateWindowEx() function with the WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE extended window style. Then use SendMessage() to send a WM_SETFONT message to the edit control to set it's font.

Hi,
I'm trying to write a simple UDP client application which receives UDP
packets from a server, each the size of 384 bytes. Unfortunately, I'm
encountring what seems to be client-side packet loss, which gets only worse
when multiple threads are added to the application. This is not a result of
high CPU usage, since the CPU usage is only a few percent. I can only assume
that the packet loss is a result of context switching done by the OS, and my
application not being able to receive the packets on time.
I'm using VC++ on win2k, and the winsock2 functions in the platform SDK to
create a socket and receive UDP packets from a specified port. I've tried
setting the process & thread to time critical, which does have an
improvement, but the packet loss continues.
Is there any way to avoid client-side UDP packet loss ??
Ideas / code examples would be greatly appreciated !
Danny

You probably don't want this answer but...
Yes, it's called TCP.
Before flaming me consider the U in UDP. It's there for a reason.
If you can't deal with lost packets (by means of reckoning, ignoring, application-initiated retransmissions and so on) go ahead and use TCP.
Ofcourse you can try to minimize lost packets but since you never can be sure you got em all, why bother?
Just my 2cents...

It's the answer to the question:
Who will implement everything lacking to make this really usefull?

UDP is connectionless, so it's always possible you will lose packets. Try to use TCP sockets, or build some kind of protocol (using UDP) to avoid packet loss. You can play with the network card driver buffer settings, or using bigger packet size, or decrease the frequency. And if you are not using a real-time OS, you cannot be sure the OS will store all the incoming packets.

Note that if sending a UDP messages from several threads and before ARP resolution is done (because ARP entry has expired or is the first message sent), it will cause some (or all?) UDP messages to be lost.
This is (according to MSDN) due to the fact that there can only one pending ARP-reply per host-IP. Sorry I cannot find the ref. at the moment.
Remedy: call SendARP() before sendto().

But when I write text to it with "new line" char it adds a | instead of new line!!
Why??

try \r\n

Because the newline character is not enough. It needs to also have a carriage-return character ('\r'). So the proper way to insert new lines is with "\r\n".

It's not the first time that I post this message. Look like nobody can help me...
I want to draw a transparent bitmap into a Dialogbar.
Here what I tried:
this is in my dialog bar class...
BOOL myDlgBar::Create(CWnd* pParentWnd)
{
if(!Create(pParentWnd, IDD_DLG_POSROOT, CBRS_RIGHT, IDD_DLG_POSROOT))
{
return 0; // fail to create
}
else
{
COLORMAP clr; //used to chnge my black color in my bitmap to white color
clr.from = RGB(0,0,0);//black
clr.to = RGB(255,255,255);//white
m_SLogo.Create(_T("my static"),WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|SS_BITMAP|SS_CENTERIMAGE,
CRect(9,10,209,78), this, IDC_LOGOPOSROOT);
m_SLogo.SetBitmap(::CreateMappedBitmap(AfxGetInstanceHandle(), IDB_LOGO, 0, &clr, 1) );
return 1;
}
}
with CStatic m_SLogo;
IDC_LOGOPOSROOT is my picture class object in the resource editor with "frame" option
IDB_LOGO is my id of my bitmap in the ressource editor
IDD_DLG_POSROOT is the id of my dialog in the ressource editor
The result of this is that I can see my bitmap in my dialog bar but the black didn't change to white...
thanks
Everything's beautiful if you look at it long enough...

i suggest:
1. creat a blank application and only test the fuction
or
2. use "find in file" to search the function in msdn samples (source are in CD).
i only remember that the function is very simple.
good luck

If I have:
int Multiply(int iA, int iB)<br />
{<br />
int iProduct = iA * iB;<br />
return iProduct;<br />
}
How can I test for multiplication overflow, the situation in which the correct result of iA * iB requires too many bits to fit into iProduct?
|
|
|
|
|
One method is to do the multiplication using __int64s and then testing for overflow.
__int64 result = __int64 (iA) * __int64 (iB);
if (result != (int) result)
However, this assumes int isn't an __int64.

I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

Tim's is probably the simplest method.
You can also opt for trapping these kinds of problems using structured exception handling. In your case it looks like an Integer Overflow exception (0xC0000095).
Do a search for "_try" in MSDN and take a look at this article[^].
[edit]
Yet another option is to put the code inside a try/catch-all block:
int Multiply(int iA, int iB)
{
try
{
return iA * iB;
}
catch (...)
{
}
}

How do I enable integer overflow trapping? It doesn't seem to be on by default.
Eddie Breeveld

I guess this could do:
inline bool mult_overflow(int a,int b)
{
return a!=0 && (a*b)/a!=b;
}

int mult(int iA, int iB)
{
int product = iA * iB;
if(iB != 0 || product / iB != iA)
throw MathException;
return product;
}
I believe this works.
