This function get's called only when the Propertypage is displayed, like while navigating through the tabs.

I want it to be called when i go from ShowWindow(false) to ShowWindow(true)

i.e., when the property page is displayed after it was hidden. And this function doesn't get called in that scenario.

And you said override this, can you explain how to do that? Will that work for my scenario?

I'm not completely clear of your requirement, but I guess my earlier solution should work for you.
What I mean by override is to create a new class that derives from CPropertyPage, write the method OnSetActive in this class and use this class to create the property pages.

A programming language requires more than just a 'parser'.

If you are serious then you should buy the Dragon book. You might want to look into lexx and yacc as well (there are books for those.)

If you just want to mess around then code it. If you get serious then the first time experience will provide a constrast for later work.

Other than that you define the syntax before you start coding.

You might write yourself from scratch or use Boost.Spirit[^] (or, if you prefer a C-like approach, the classical tools Flex[^] and Bison[^]).

Hello

I have a c#.net project which I need to incorporate into c++ project. Preferably compile it as a static library and link it in C++ project.

If this is possible please guide me how to go ahead with this. I came across this link but I found it difficult to understand the procedure. Secondly my application is a desktop based and not client server based. Please learned people help me.

Thanks

You can expose the C# code as a COM interface and then use the assembly from native C++ just as you would use a COM component.
This is one of the solutions proposed to you by Richard.

Here are a couple of links that I found useful for this purpose -
Build and Deploy a .NET COM Assembly[^]
Guidelines for COM Interoperability from .NET[^]

Why?

It is probably easier to do the following
1. Create a C# executable
2. Provide a communications idiom which is either file based, stdio based or socket based.
3. Create your C++ code such that it runs the C# exe and then usse 2 to talk to it.

The benefit of the above is that it easier to code and debug.

being a IPC guy, I will not support this, since all the above mentioned method has its on shortcomings!. it better to use COM instead if you want synchronous communication. though you can achieve same with mentioned technique, however you have to rely on synchronous objects etc.

Recommended technique is already mentioned by SuperMan . however it depend on your project demand. what they actually want. since for IPC technique you have create framework in both executable to send and receive data, constantly watch on executables running status etc etc

The stdio and sockets specifically support synchronous communications. Or asynchronous.

Pretty sure one can do asynchronous with COM as well, so that has nothing to do with why COM would be a better choice.

Hi,

Sorry for delay in replying. I am actually developing application based on wxWidgets and I want to link a C# based dll into my application. I tried a small console based sample example and it worked fine. But when I actually tried to link into wxWidgets application I got some warnings and my app crashes before it starts.

I was getting following warning

lnk4248 unresolved typeref token

and also the following warning. I posted the query here. Though this is not a wxWidget forum, still I would like to ask whether there is a way to link C# based DLL into wxWidgets application?

Thanks

Hi every senior Smile | :)

now I have a hardware address(Ex:super IO, 2E),and I want to access the Super IO Register status under the windows 7,

so,is there any way to communicate with hardware by using any function or API?

Thank you all guys

not sure what issue you're facing - the Super IO Chip/ChipSet (most likely) is used to communicate with serial ports - but that being said, you go through several layers of abstraction 'above' that Chipset layer to talk to serial ports

What exactly are you trying to accomplish ?

Well...my job is Embedded Controller(EC)(is similar with Super IO)Firmware.So I can edit the register value in the source code, but now I want to access the register value in the different Operating System,In Dos system, I can use outp()and inp() function to read write value to register, but in the Windows, I don't know what function or API should I used.

Sorry, and forgive my poor English.

ugh - well, on Windows you need to use something like inpout32.dll - do a google for it

this article may help, although its targetting vb.net and the parallel port, it describes inpout32.dll at least

Hello all, I'm trying to get back into programming. Studied C years ago. I've Perl in work for the last 10 years or so, but want to turn to C/C++/C#? Would like to do some Windows development and possibly some Android or iOS development in the future.

I have my old C book from school by Kernighan and Ritchie.
I've installed the Eclipse with CDT and MinGW. Hadn't gotten anything to compile yet, I think it's just a path issue with gcc.

Just wanted some feedback here. Am I on the right track? Is Eclipse ok, thought about using MS Visual Studio Express.

TIA

If you want to work with Windows programming then I would recommend you get hold of Visual Studio 2010 Express[^], free from Microsoft, as it contains a couple of skeleton templates for Windows applications. There are also lots of free samples in the CodeProject atrticles sections[^].

You may also like to consider whether moving on to C# would be a better choice. In which case Charles Petzold has this great e-book (also free)[^] to get you started.

I appreciate the feedback. I think I will look harder at C#. I've already downloaded Visual Studio Express 2012. Would that version be ok, or are you suggesting 2010 for a particular reason?
