Are you sure COM3 exists on your machine?
Did you try the format \\.\COM3 instead?
What happens in set_baud_rate() and in open_host_port()? You have to open the COM-Port before changing the baudrate

yes COM3 is available and i have tried \\.COM3 and \\\\.\\COM3 both. basically i'm developing GUI via MFC in vs2008 for my console program. part of the code for opening serial port in console program is given below. i can't understand how to do it in MFC.
COMportName[0] = ' ';
while (COMportName[0] == ' ') {
printf("\nEnter the %s port number the PTU is attached to: ", COMportPrefix);
scanf("%d", &COMportNum);
printf("You selected %s%d. Is this OK? (enter 'y' or 'n'): ", COMportPrefix, COMportNum);
tmpChar = 'f';
while ( (tmpChar != 'y') && (tmpChar != 'n') )
tmpChar = ((char) tolower(getchar()));
if ( tmpChar == 'y' )
sprintf(COMportName, "%s%d", COMportPrefix, COMportNum);
}
tmpChar = 'f';
while (tmpChar != 'y') {
printf("\nEnter the baud rate the ptu is communicate at (default: 9600): ");
scanf("%d", &BaudRate);
printf("You selected %d. Is this OK? (enter 'y' or 'n'): ", BaudRate);
tmpChar = 'f';
while ( (tmpChar != 'y') && (tmpChar != 'n') )
tmpChar = ((char) tolower(getchar()));
}
set_baud_rate(BaudRate);
COMstream = open_host_port(COMportName);
if ( COMstream == PORT_NOT_OPENED )
{ printf("\nSerial Port setup error.\n");
goto abnormal_exit; }
printf("\nSerial port %s initialized\n", COMportName);

Does the console programm run?
And what's the code inside open_host_port()?
Did you step through the code of open_host_port() in the debugger? Examine every return code of Win32 API-calls and check GetLastError().
What happens, if you just do a call to the CreateFile-function to open the COM-port, just like in this article

I'm thinking you could eliminate some overhead here. Try:
strng.Format(_T("COM%d"), COMportNum);Note that this likely has nothing to do with why open_host_port() is not opening the port.

I do not recognize the open_host_port function, but it does not really matter. On some systems you need to add a ':' after COMx. Try sprintf(COMportName, "%s%d:", COMportPrefix, COMportNum); to get COM3:

i did what you suggested and now the error comes out to be 00000002 (i.e The system cannot find the file specified). and the outcome of
SetDlgItemText(IDC_STAT, strng);
is "COM3:".
|
|
|
|

OK, so this means you fixed one problem (I think), but now came up against another. I believe 7B meant that command format was wrong that is why I was suggesting the ':' the 2 means that system cannot find COM3. Are you sure that it exists. On a Windows PC you'd look in device manager. If it really exists then 7B probably means something else.
That is about all I can help.

hello guys... how do I respond to an asynchronous function call? Let's say that I have a function (asynchronous, boolean) like this
classObject->Function_Call();
Now I want to do something like this
BOOL bResult = FALSE;
bResult = classObject->Function_Call();
if(bResult)
{
}
else
Now what do I do in this situation as Function_Call() is asynchronous? Thanks for any input.
This world is going to explode due to international politics, SOON.

The short answer is: you cannot do that.
When the function is asynchronous you may usually perform a test like that only to know whether the function was called properly (it might fail, for instance, if classObject was not properly initialized). To know the result of the actual function execution you should check that a state change happened, but that is specific of the function (for instance asynchrounous I/O Windows API provide GetOverallappedResult function) and there is no general way.
Veni, vidi, vici.

Let me address this in simpler terms without any context to the OS.
When you say "Async" , the control passes through. In your example, there is no point in waiting to check "bResult". Typically an Async function is attached with a callback function - a function pointer to notify when the operation has been completed.
Or you'll attach a Windows Handle (windows) so that the Async function can post updates to the function through messages.
So you need to figure out how your function_call() is implemented to let the main thread (for example- main()) know the completion of the function.
|
|
|
|

Sounds like you need a multithreaded application. With one thread set up to wait for the call while another is doing the normal processing. On the other hand it kind of depends on what you mean by asynchronous. Windows message pump is is another example of managing asynchronous events.
Cheers,
Henryk

Then you have to wait until you get the result and then decide how to continue.

I must be doing something really stupid, but... I cannot get any of the changes to my menu items reflected in visual appearance. If I check a menu item, or change string I can see changes if I test in code, but not when I click on the menu bar.
I use standard default bar creation in main frame OnCreate:
CMFCVisualManager::SetDefaultManager(RUNTIME_CLASS(CMFCVisualManagerWindows));
if (!m_wndMenuBar.Create(this))
{
TRACE0("Failed to create menubar\n");
return -1; }
m_wndMenuBar.SetPaneStyle(m_wndMenuBar.GetPaneStyle() | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY);
I then create a menu message handler in a view and in it I put something like this:
MENUITEMINFO info;
TCHAR buf[32];
info.cbSize=sizeof(MENUITEMINFO);
info.fMask=MIIM_STATE|MIIM_ID|MIIM_STRING;
info.fType=MFT_STRING;
info.dwTypeData=0;
HMENU hMenusafe= ((CMainFrame*)(AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd))->m_wndMenuBar.GetHMenu();
HMENU hMenu=::GetSubMenu(hMenusafe,0);
DWORD err=GetLastError();
int er=GetMenuItemInfo(hMenu,3,1,&info);
err=GetLastError();
info.cch++;
if( info.cch > 32)
info.cch = 32;
info.dwTypeData=buf;
er=GetMenuItemInfo(hMenu,3,1,&info);
err=GetLastError();
if(info.fState & MFS_CHECKED)
{
info.fState &=~MFS_CHECKED;
info.fState|=MFS_UNCHECKED;
_tcscpy(buf,_T("Menu is unchecked"));
info.cch=_tcslen(buf)+1;
}
else
{
info.fState &=~MFS_UNCHECKED;
info.fState |=MFS_CHECKED;
_tcscpy(buf,_T("Menu is checked"));
info.cch=_tcslen(buf)+1;
}
er=SetMenuItemInfo(hMenu,3,1,&info);
((CMainFrame*)(AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd))->DrawMenuBar();
As I click on the menu item I never see a check, nor changed text. However as I am stepping through the code debugging, I see that changes did take place. What am I doing wrong?
Any help appreciated

Thanks! that works. I guess it is another disconnect in MFC  .

I can detect the 120 mode, now I to decide how to handle large fonts
Should I use the paint, and resize all the controls?
|
|
|
|

I recall reading an article once that discussed the difference between using a Frame and using a Dialog, with particular reference to the effect it had on automatically scaling the controls and parent window itself. Unfortunately, I just haven't been able to find it over the past couple of hours.
I did find a pair of article @ MS that discuss scaling, hope they'll be of some help.

Thanks for looking for that article.
I'll start small, and fix the artwork bitmaps first. Then work on control sizes next.
I was doing final testing, and decided to check out large fonts, and found that I'm not done yet.

I am using the attached MSDN sample code as a base to decompress video in MJPEG format.
I can see the video frames, processed by the MJPEG driver, in capAVI preview window OK.
ICDecompressBegin return OK, but the actual data in the buffer is garbage- unchanged!
I sure could use a real sample code to get some idea what I am doing wrong.I am using OpenCV and for now I am stuck with Vfw.
Any constructive help would be appreciated.
And I did Google for it with no luck.
Thanks Vaclav
LPBITMAPINFOHEADER lbpiIn, lpbiOut;
LPVOID lpIn, lpOut;
LONG lNumFrames, lFrameNum;
// Assume lpbiIn and lpbiOut are initialized to the input and output
// format and lpIn and lpOut are pointing to the buffers.
if (ICDecompressBegin(hIC, lpbiIn, lpbiOut) == ICERR_OK)
{
for (lFrameNum = 0; lFrameNum < lNumFrames, lFrameNum++)
{
if (ICDecompress(hIC, 0, lpbiIn, lpIn, lpbiOut,
lpOut) == ICERR_OK)
{
// Frame decompressed OK so we can process it as required.
}
else
{
// Handle the decompression error that occurred.
}
}
ICDecompressEnd(hIC);
}
else
{
// Handle the error identifying an unsupported format.

My application accepts buffer (jpeg buffer) of image from another application and needs to draw that images in picture control. Buffer may be diffrrence of current image from prev image in such case I need to merge the diff with prev image buffer to draw complete image. I need to XOR diffrence buffer with prev buffer, how can I do that so that I can get only one resultant buffer.

You can use the SRCINVERT operator of the BitBlt()[^] function.
