Re: Debug vs Release Tomasz Sowinski19-Sep-01 1:06 Tomasz Sowinski 19-Sep-01 1:06  Problem of leak of memory, or initialization ,...? This may be an initialization problem - in the release build local variables of primitive types are not initialized. Also, you may have vital code inside ASSERTs - in the release build the code disappears; if this is the case, use VERIFY instead. How can do to find out error(s) and what tool can use ? BoundsChecker (www.numega.com) or Purify (www.rational.com). Note that you'll have to create new configuration based on Release, but with debug info on. If your OnSave/OnOpenDocument code isn't very long, post it here. You can consider CodeProject forum to be another semi-automatic diagnostic tool Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com Win32 Printing Problems - 32character device names. Mike Doner18-Sep-01 11:19 Mike Doner 18-Sep-01 11:19  Hello folks, I have a question with regards to printing in Win32 to printers who's name exceed the DEVMODE.dmDeviceName[32] limit. In our product, we allow the user to set a default printer. We populate the possible printer list by using the following code: flags = PRINTER_ENUM_LOCAL; if ( IsWindows95 () ) level = 5; else flags |= PRINTER_ENUM_CONNECTIONS; pbuf = (PBYTE) NULL; EnumPrinters ( flags, NULL, level, pbuf, 0, &size, &num ); if ( asize > 0 ) { pbuf = (PBYTE ) calloc ( size, 1 ); if ( pbuf == (PBYTE) NULL ) goto exit_func; size = num = 0; EnumPrinters ( flags, NULL, level, pbuf, asize, &size, &num ); if ( size == 0 || num == 0 ) goto exit_func; if ( IsWindows95 ( ) ) pinf5 = (PRINTER_INFO_5 *) pbuf; else pinf4 = (PRINTER_INFO_4 *) pbuf; retval = TRUE; /* Now fill the listbox with the printers available. */ SendDlgItemMessage ( hwnd, id, CB_RESETCONTENT, 0, 0 ); for ( i = 0; i < num; i++ ) { if ( IsWindows95 () ) { SendDlgItemMessage ( hwnd, id, CB_ADDSTRING, (WPARAM) 0, (LPARAM) pinf5->pPrinterName ); pinf5++; /* Next structure */ } else { SendDlgItemMessage ( hwnd, id, CB_ADDSTRING, (WPARAM) 0, (LPARAM) pinf4->pPrinterName ); pinf4++; /* Next structure */ } } No problems here, we simply store the pPrinterName in one of our variables such that when the time comes to print, we build the DEVMODE structure, then create our dc. The problem comes when the user selects a printer that exceeds the 32 character maximum, (ie, network printer), where the name could be "\\nt200\FOO\FOO\PRINTER1010101". If the variable we stored was something like "\\nt200\laser1", everything would be fine, the document would print without any problems. In the MSDN documentation it notes the following on the dmDeviceName variable: Specifies the the "friendly" name of the printer; for example, "PCL/HP LaserJet" in the case of PCL/HP LaserJet®. This string is unique among device drivers. Note that this name may be truncated to fit in the dmDeviceName array. How does Windows handle the case where the printer name exceeds the 32character max? Is there a field I could put the server name? Mike. Win2000/XP Job Kernel Object 18-Sep-01 11:12 18-Sep-01 11:12  There's an extenssion to win32API that comes with Win2000/XP that allows to impose some restrictions on single process or process group. The flags that are used to define constraints allow to achieve a lot , but I couldnt find how to force process /group of processes to use not more than some amount of procesor computing power, measured in % (percentage). For example: I want a media player which decodes some video file (ie divx format) to use not more than 50% of computing power of my CPU. If the program wants to consume more CPU procesing power (than the specyfied amount)it would simply not receive it. When viewing the performance tab of task manager , the upper graf (of the cpu) shouldn't exceed 50% (provided that no other applications use processor). I know that it is possible , since the IIS (that comes with Win2000) allows to specify whether or not to use 'process throttling' , and to specify how many CPU computing power a web application (running some executable code / scripts) within the server may consume Thanx in advance Michal Januszczyk Michal Januszczyk MFC Extension DLL sfanjoy18-Sep-01 10:56 sfanjoy 18-Sep-01 10:56  I have created an MFC Extension DLL with the intention to export a FormView. I edited my resource.h file to force the Resource Objects to start at 9000. This allowed my form view to be created with the correct resource. Is this OK or is there a better way to export the resources that go along with my exported FormView? Re: MFC Extension DLL Tomasz Sowinski18-Sep-01 11:10 Tomasz Sowinski 18-Sep-01 11:10  I don't think there's better way - usually you assign separate ID ranges for DLLs in multiple-dll project. To make ID management easier, have a look at excellent Resource ID Organiser Add-In for Visual C++ 5.0/6.0 by Andy Metcalfe. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com Executing a database macro from VC++ duggie18-Sep-01 10:55 duggie 18-Sep-01 10:55  We are using MS Access Database. Is it possible to execute a macro in the access database from VC++ program. My macro consists of several sqls. I understand you could do CDaoQueryDef to execute sqls, but my macro also has a transfer text that imports a txt file and creates a table in the database. I want to know if it is possible to directly execute the macro from the program. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Re: Executing a database macro from VC++ Carlos Antollini18-Sep-01 11:01 Carlos Antollini 18-Sep-01 11:01  Is Imposible, to do that, but you can try to execute the macro from a Query into the Access database, and in that case, you can execute the query... Cheers!!! Carlos Antollini. Re: Executing a database macro from VC++ duggie18-Sep-01 11:11 duggie 18-Sep-01 11:11  Are you saying that I create a Query in Access database to execute the Macro. If that is what you are saying, how do I do that. When I create a new query within access database, it doesn't even give me an option to include a macro. Please advise. Thanks, Re: Executing a database macro from VC++ Carlos Antollini18-Sep-01 11:24 Carlos Antollini 18-Sep-01 11:24  Yes, I don't Know How you can execute a Macro from a Query, but is true that you can not execute a Access Macro from VC++. I am not an expert in Access, but I think that you need to execute the macro from the Query. But at this moment I have an Idea: You can execute the macro with OleAutomation. I think that this last one is the best... Cheers!!! Carlos Antollini. Re: Executing a database macro from VC++ duggie19-Sep-01 4:01 duggie 19-Sep-01 4:01  I don't know a whole lot about OleAutomation. Would you direct me to some place where I can find sample code. Thanks, Re: Executing a database macro from VC++ Carlos Antollini19-Sep-01 4:23 Carlos Antollini 19-Sep-01 4:23  You can see into the MSDN Q192348. This Article, have a sample of AleAutomation with Excel You can make the same with Access. Cheers!!! Carlos Antollini. Re: Executing a database macro from VC++ Todd Smith18-Sep-01 11:57 Todd Smith 18-Sep-01 11:57  Here's what you can do from VB Private Sub Form_Load() Access.OpenCurrentDatabase ("f:\Dev\test.mdb") Access.DoCmd.RunMacro "ExportAll" Unload Form1 End Sub Re: Executing a database macro from VC++ duggie19-Sep-01 4:06 duggie 19-Sep-01 4:06  If I were to use VBScript would the code be the same as above. Thanks, Re: Executing a database macro from VC++ Steen Krogsgaard18-Sep-01 23:06 Steen Krogsgaard 18-Sep-01 23:06  As Carlos has already pointed out you have to use OLE automation to do this. It's very important to keep in mind that MS Access is *not* a database - it's an application that implements an user interface to the Jet database. You can use the Jet database from VC++ through any of the technologies in MDAC - DAO, OLE DB, ADO, ODBC. But MS Access implements a number of features that makes your everyday use of the Jet database easier. This includes a query designer, a report generator and a macro facility. However, these functionalities belong to the Access application and *not* to the Jet database. AFAIK Access stores the these things in the Jet database as BLOB fields, but they are proprietary to Access and hence not accessible through the Jet connectivities. But as you can with all the MS Office applications you can "remote control" Access through OLE automation. It does however require that the user has MS Access installed on the PC. The free Jet engine is not sufficient. As Todd Smith has shown it is very easy to do automation from VB (ouch! I sad the word! I have to go and wash my mouth with soap;P ) Cheers Steen.

Is there a way of finding out the system tray position. The best I've found so far is the SPI_GETWORKAREA parameter but this gives me the work area and not the position of the system tray. Any ideas, Michael Re: Position of SystemTray area Carlos Antollini18-Sep-01 11:16 Carlos Antollini 18-Sep-01 11:16  Look the Function SHAppBarMessage You can get the position of TaskBar. With that position you can put your Dialog over the TaskBar. You can see if your taskbar, is at left, Rigth, Tip or Bottom of your Screen. Cheers!!!! Carlos Antollini.

Does anyone have a sample of code that would allow someone to create their own minimize button? Thanks, Rob Re: Minimize a dialog type app Michael P Butler18-Sep-01 5:06 Michael P Butler 18-Sep-01 5:06  Why do you need your own minimize button? Why not just capture the minimize button being clicked and do your own thing? Michael Re: Minimize a dialog type app RobJones18-Sep-01 5:24 RobJones 18-Sep-01 5:24  I have created a dialog type app that uses a bitmap for a background.. This allows me to create a non-rectangular dialog box (mine has rounded transparent corners and a nice skin/type look).. The problem is to do this I can't use a border on the dialog box nor can I use a title bar.. so I don't even have a minimize button on this dialog.. I need to make my own minimize button to minimize the app. Thanks, Rob Re: Minimize a dialog type app Michael P Butler18-Sep-01 5:34 Michael P Butler 18-Sep-01 5:34  Okay. I see. Where do you want to put the minimize button? I assume you know how to minimize the window ( ShowWindow(SW_MINIMIZE) ). Michael Re: Minimize a dialog type app RobJones18-Sep-01 5:49 RobJones 18-Sep-01 5:49  I'm pretty new to programming and I don't even know where to start on the minimize process.. I want the app to minimize to the tray/system bar like most other apps do by default.. Minimizing the app by the system clock would be awesome but it would probably require a lot more code and I assume it would be much more difficult, so for the time being just minimizing to the tray/system bar would be fine. Do you have sample code I could try? Thanks for you help and fast responses!!!! Rob Re: Minimize a dialog type app RobJones18-Sep-01 6:20 RobJones 18-Sep-01 6:20  Never mind the CDialog::ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMINIMIZE); worked fine Thanks!! Rob Re: Minimize a dialog type app Michael P Butler18-Sep-01 8:07 Michael P Butler 18-Sep-01 8:07  If you are interested in minimizing to the system tray (next to the clock), check out http://www.codeproject.com/shell/systemtray.asp Michael Creating a GUI in CVIEW 18-Sep-01 4:53 18-Sep-01 4:53  Hi! I've been searching and lurking around here looking for ways to create a GUI. It wasn't so easy to find info so I thought I'd confront you guys with questions that swirrel around in my head. I had to test things and appended a VM_LBUTTONCLICK to my CVIEW. in the code I had the following: [CODE] CDC *dc = this->GetDC(); dc->MoveTo(point); CButton *knapp = new CButton(); CRect rect; rect.bottom = point.y+20; rect.top = point.y; rect.left = point.x; rect.right = point.x+50; knapp->Create("test",BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON|WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP,rect,this->GetParent(),IDC_BUTTON_EXISTING_IN_ADIALOG); [/CODE] This did in turn create a button everywhere I pressed the left mousebutton. Fair enough; What I need now is an action beeing performed on pressing that button. For instance MessageBox("some message"); Say I placed the code somewhere ELSE, in OnInitialUpdate() forinstance. Creating only one button. Would this be a BAD and HARD way to create a GUI? Say that I would like editbox'es and stuff. (PS: anyone know of a tutorial on how to create a GUI?) In advance thanks, you're all great resources!
