Try calling EnumDesktopWindows. I think it will give the window handles in their z-order to the callback function. I am not sure about this though. It would be fairly easy to contrive a test app to experiment with it. You might find EnumWindows will do it also. Between the two you should be able to determine what you want. Once you get the window handles in their z order you will have to determine which window is which, likely by their titles.

If you can do C++, then you can surely translate from C#. Especially since the functions you need to call are right in the code. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Frame or even Thread exception handler with _try _except/_catch()

Windows API has the function GetTopWindow
GetTopWindow function (Windows)[^]

From the TopWindow you want walk down thru the chain via GetNextWindow
GetNextWindow function (Windows)[^]

So in your case you want to ask the topWindow of the window that contains both FileZilla window and a Notepad Window. You can then walk along the chain using GetNextWindow and see which is above which just by asking the window title.

Something like this will work

C++

char buf[256];
HWND Wnd = GetTopWindow( /*handle of window containing both*/ );
GetWindowText(Wnd, &buf[0], sizeof(buf));
while (Wnd != 0 && !stricmp(&buf[0], "FileZilla") && !stricmp(&buf[0], "NotePad"))
{
   Wnd = GetNextWindow(Wnd, GW_HWNDNEXT); // Next window
   GetWindowText(Wnd, &buf[0], sizeof(buf)); // Get it's title
}
if (Wnd == 0) {
   /* Error neither window found */
}
else {
   /* Wnd is the topmost of 2 windows title and the string title is in buf */  
}

It is equivalent to
EnumChildWindows function (Windows)[^]
However for the simplicity you have it isn't worth setting up the enumeration function.

Is there an Api to implement exception handling on function/frame thread basis without the _try _except/_catch statements as that limits me to only certain type of exceptions

It would be nice to have an api on a function or frame Even on a thread basis

The function and the frame saves the programmer from doing unwinding

with AddVectoredExceptionHandler I catch everything but then I have to figure out from which function the exception occurred

Thanks

How to check session created or not in MySQL X DevApi A,k,a X Protocol.

it's been 2 days. i'm struggle with this things. this's still new. the documented it just only help a bit. i want to check session created or not. a.k.a Connected or not. i don't know why the developer MySQL make new terms to call a thing. in this code. everytime i change something credential thing like host, port, user,pass. it return same. and return unexpected result with long zero 00000000000000 if use cout to sess. in my server i already enable X Plugin. my enviroment is Visual Studio Community 2017 c++ desktop.

C++

#include <iostream>
#include "mysql_xapi.h"

using namespace std;

int main()
{
// initiliziation 
	mysqlx_session_t  * sess;
	char conn_error[MYSQLX_MAX_ERROR_LEN];
	int err_code;
// open session. i use port 3306 cause this my mysql default port run. but in documented it says default port is 33060. i don't know it's seperate port to access. but when i change it to 33060. the result still same.

	sess = mysqlx_get_session("127.0.0.1", 3306, "root", "root", "test", conn_error, &err_code);

	if(!sess)
{
cout << "It's not connect";
}
else
{
cout << "It's connect";
}

// close session
	mysqlx_session_close(sess);
	return 0;
}

The function provides an error code and an error message upon failure. So print those out to get information on what went wrong:

sess = mysqlx_get_session("127.0.0.1", 3306, "root", "root", "test", conn_error, &err_code);
if (NULL == sess)
{
    cout << "Connection failed; error " << err_code << ": " << conn_error << endl;
}

The error nothing helping. it shows string unexpected result and integer 1.

can u figure out when the error like that? i think can't.

C pre increment and post increment

15-Dec-17 2:51

I would expect a meaningful error message if one the parameters is wrong.

That generic message might indicate that it is networking problem. Because you are using localhost (127.0.0.1) it is probably not due to blocking by a firewall. You should check the port number and ensure that it is the port on which your server is listening.

Depending on the operating system, you might also us a command line utility to show listening ports (as root/adminstrator: Linux: lsof -nPi, Windows: netstat -ban).

Hi,
int x=11;
printf("%d %d %d ", x++,++x,++x);

It prints 13 14 14, But I thought 13 14 15
Why ?

Because you should never use such expressions. The compiler writers are allowed to handle the order of incrementation in any way they like, so the results may or may not be what you expect. Bottom line: don't do it.

Anonygeeker14-Dec-17 1:05

14-Dec-17 1:05

I agree. but my doubt was how it happens.

Jochen Arndt14-Dec-17 0:01

It is executed in this order here:

C++

// Pre-increment is executed first
++x; // 12
++x; // 13
// push first parameter on the stack: 13
push x; 
// post increment
x++; // 14
// push 2nd and 3rd parameter on the stack: 14
push x; 
push x;

It isn't a good answer it's wrong the result is undefined.

Try it on VS2017 and you will likely get "13 13 13 " because of the way the optimizer works.

This expression is undefined by the C Standard, meaning that the compiler can do anything with it, including formatting your disk or causing demons to fly out of your nose. You should consider yourself lucky that the compiler only incremented 'x' in a weird manner. Smile | :)

Note that even changing the compiler options (e.g. optimization) might change the printed results, so even if this "appears to work properly" on your system - DON'T DO IT!

(On comp.std.c and comp.lang.c they used to refer to a notional system, the DeathStation 9000, that would actually create Nasal Demons when it encountered undefined expressions Smile | :)

)

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

wchar_t in C

Hi,

Is there a data type wchar_t in C?If so, how it differ from char?

Yes, apparently[^].

Quote:

It is compiler dependent.

Jochen Arndt13-Dec-17 22:50

13-Dec-17 22:50

Yes, since C90.

See wchar_t - C++ Reference[^] and Wide character - Wikipedia[^].

Because it is implementation defined (compiler and platform dependant), there is no general answer to how it differs from a char.

Anonygeeker13-Dec-17 23:51

13-Dec-17 23:51

Thanks. I tried finding size of it and got 4 bytes. If so, It should be able to take something like "abc". But its not happening. Why?

Jochen Arndt14-Dec-17 0:09

14-Dec-17 0:09

Because "abc" is a char* string and not a wchar_t which represents a single character.

wchar_t are used to store fixed length Unicode characters like UTF-16 or UTF-32 while char can store fixed length ASCII or ANSI characters (with an associated code page) or variable length characters like UTF-8 or Microsoft multi byte characters.
