dll loading itself launching the application - C / C++ / MFC Discussion Boards

Global is probably not the best option in C++, but I'll answer your question nonetheless...

In main.h, where did you declare mysql5? Is it in the global namespace or is it in a class? If it's in the global namespace, you probably have to remove the static declaration since that'll limit the visibility of the variable.

Assuming it is in the global namespace, in income.cpp, did you remember to declare mysql5?

extern MYSQL *mysql5;

Lastly... in C++, it's probably a better idea to use a member variable and pass the parameter that way when the object is constructed or through a Set() method.

Thank you for the answear.
If I remove the static declaration I receive errors like this : error LNK2005: "struct st_mysql * mysql5" (?mysql5@@3PAUst_mysql@@A) already defined in main.obj.
Adding

extern MYSQL *mysql5;

do nothing.
Here are details:

//main.cpp - contains WindowProc, int WINAPI _tWinMain(...) ...
main.h:
#include "ClassLogin.h"
static MYSQL *mysql5;
static ClassLogin *login2;

DlgLogin.cpp - contains dialog procedure and #include "main.h" 
case button_OK:
ClassLogin * login = new ClassLogin(...parameters...);
login2 = login;
 
//Class ClassLogin:
ClassLogin.cpp: 
#include "main.h"
#include "ClassLogin.h"
ClassLogin::ClassLogin();
ClassLogin::ClassLogin(...parameters...)
{ ... mysql_real_connect(Cmysql, host, user, password , database , port, unix, 0 );
mysql5 = Cmysql; }
destructor

//ClassLogin.h: 
Class ClassLogin
{
public:
ClassLogin();
ClassLogin(...parameters...);
MYSQL *Cmysql;
virtual ~ClassLogin();
};

income.cpp - contains dialog procedure and 
#include "main.h"
#include "ClassLogin.h"
MYSQL * mysql2;
case button_OK:
mysql2 = login2->Cmysql;// value login2->Cmysql is 0x00000000
mysql2 = mysql5;// value mysql5 is 0x00000000

But if I don't use login2->Cmysql or mysql2 = mysql5 the values are right (0x01df0a98) while debuging (F5)
What I have to do to obtain values from class ClassLogin in another cpp file?

You may:
in main.h remove the line

C++

static MYSQL *mysql5;

in DlgLogin.cpp add the line

C++

MYSQL * mysql5;

in income.cpp add the line

C++

extern MYSQL * mysql5;

Now the variable in income.cpp is exactly the same of DlgLogin.cpp so no assignemnt is required.

How to respond to WSAETIMEDOUT in CSsyncsocket::onconnect

ForNow13-Jan-12 7:07

13-Jan-12 7:07

I have a two folded question

1) How to respond to

WSAETIMEDOUT

in the OnConnect override for CASyncSocket
where nErrorcode = WSAETIMEOUT

2) My CASyncsocket class "Mysocket" is a member of CWinThread Class as I want to make where
the socket class lives the highest priority

if the answer to question 1 call CASyncsocket::connect again then how would I obtain
my CWinThread class which has my CAsynsocket class a member

for example
MyCAsynSocket* currentthread;
class MyCwinThread : public CWinthread
{
.
.
.
.
CAsynSocket MyCAsynSocket;
CString ipaddr;
UINT port;
}
currentthread = (MyAsynSocket*) = AFxGetthread(): //

currentthread->connect(currentthread>ipaddr,currentthread->port);

Thanks

Not sure what you are trying to explain or do here, but this line of code looks really incorrect.

currentthread = (MyAsynSocket*) = AFxGetthread(): //

Also in terms of trying to connect again, can you not wrap the connect call within some kind of loop operation? Smile | :)

dll loading itself launching the application

Dear Friends
I am loading a dll from another exe mfc application. for that i have exposed one api 'runAppli' in the dll as extern "C". Then I am loading the dll using LoadLibrary. By loading the dll itself the dll application is launched. I am surprised. I should call the api 'runAppli' and then the application should launch but its not happening. How come it is happening please give some suggestions.

[code]
// in the all
extern "C" BOOL __declspec(dllexport) runAppli(CString filename)
{
AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());
if(filename.IsEmpty())
return false;
view->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
view->loadProfile(filename);
view->domainSetUpForProfile();
view->drawLines();
view->drawArcs();
view->drawProfile();
return true;
}

//in the client exe application

void CClientRevolutionProjDlg::OnBnClickedButton1()
{
HINSTANCE hinstLib;
hinstLib = LoadLibrary(L"C:\\Users\\sujan.dasmahapatra\\Documents\\Projects\\Bhagavan_SurfaceRevolution\\RevolutionProj\\debug\\RevolutionProj.dll");
}
[\code]

By simply loading the dll the dll application is launching.. why ??? Thanks Sujan

it's impossible for us to say, without knowing what the DLL has in its DllMain (or CWinApp::InitInstance).

Hi,

The MFC DllMain function will automatically call InitInstance when your DLL is loaded and it also calls ExitInstance when the DLL is unloaded.

You might be able to get around this by providing your own DllMain function:

HOWTO: How to Provide Your Own DllMain in an MFC Regular DLL[^]

I don't really recommend providing your own Dllmain function... you could probably prevent the window creation by modifying your InitInstance and removing/moving the window/view initialization.

Proper response From WSAEWOULDBLOCK return code From CAsyncSocket::Connect

Hi,

I got a

WSAEWOULDBLOCK

return code from the connect method would the proper
response be to retry the operation until I get a Zero return code

As MSDN suggests[^]:

If this indicates an error code of WSAEWOULDBLOCK, and your application is using the overridable callbacks, your application will receive an OnConnect message when the connect operation is complete

you shouldn't call again the Connect method because the connect operation is in progress after method returns. Viceversa, you should override the OnConnect method (see the example in its documentation[^]) to know when the connect operation is completed.

This time it is properly an error and you have to call again the Connect method. I don't know if you may change the timeout value.

I have pop-up dialog that I custom paint in the client rect and show it in the titlebar of my MDI application. Then I use SetWindowPos such that my dialog stays in the desired relative position on the titlebar, whenever the main window is resized\moved.
Everything works fine, except when I minimize the main window. Clicking on the window icon in taskbar does not restore it, but the icon changes to that shown for an active window. I can however right-click on the icon and say "Restore" or "Maximize" to do the same.
Can someone tell me what I am missing? Does it have something to do with WS_CLIPSIBLINGS in the windows styles when its created?

I don't know how you showed it in the title bar?

This is my main window

hWnd = CreateWindow(
        sz_WindowClass,
        sz_Title,
        WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW | WS_CLIPCHILDREN | WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT,

When I close my program in visual studio 2010 running in debug, I notice that I have to stop debug, to fully close the program. So I've been running my compiled exe's and the same thing happens, in which I have to use task Manager to kill the process. The windows close, but the process is still running.

So perhaps I'm missing something in my WndProc.

I have a WM_DESTROY, but I don't have a WM_CLOSE switch

case WM_DESTROY:
PostQuitMessage(0);

This is my File Exit

case IDM_FILE_EXIT:
PostMessage(hWnd, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0);
break;

Dont post WM_CLOSE message post WM_DESTROY Message

or
Call the PostQuitMessage function under WM_CLOSE case.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
