I need iphlpapi.h when doing tasks with
Ip Helper.
I have to install SDK in order to get this iphlpapi.h.
Everybody tell me that i had to install SDK from microsoft.com but i cant do this... Mad | :mad:

THE QUESTION IS:

WHERE CAN I FIND SDK BUT MICROSOFT.COM.
DOES VISUAL STUDIO HAVE INTEGRATED THE SDK?
PLEASE, I NEED YOUR HELP...

I'm sorry to say that there is no other place to get the SDK. Visual Studio comes with the SDK as it stood at the time of release, the point of ongoing releases is that they are able to update the headers and add new stuff like GDI+. Downloading the SDK is a major pain, even with a decent connection, and I'm afraid ordering the CD can be a bit slow. Even if I emailed you this header, it is unlikely to help you, it almost certainly requires other headers and .lib files. I'm afraid you have no choice but to source a copy of the SDK.

You have to download the SDK from http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/

The SDK integrates into Visual C++, so that VC uses all the newest headerfiles from the SDK.

I can see from a later post that you have gotten your header files, so this is just out of curiosity: Why can't you download the SDK from the MS site?

Cheers

Saving CString to text file

Ah, I see. There's 355 megs so you'd be screwed. Why is the transfer rate so slow? Maybe you should try Download Accelerator to see if it can speed things up. On my modem (56K) it doesn't really help because the modem is setting the limit (app. 6 Kb/s), but maybe your problem is different.

Cheers

Hi,

How can I save a CString to a text file?

I've tried CFile::Write to write the CString for CString.GetLength(),
and although this saves the file, there are usually around 3 garbage characters at the end of the file.

Any ideas?

Many thanks.

Christian Graus23-Oct-01 0:40

The following works perfectly for me, with no extra characters.

file.Write(string.GetBuffer(string.GetLength()), string.GetLength);
string.ReleaseBuffer();

Were you calling GetBuffer, or just passing in the CString ?\

Christian, this will work too and it's actually a little quicker:

file.Write((LPVOID)(LPCTSTR)string, string.GetLength());

Regards,
Alvaro

23-Oct-01 10:06

Thanks, but I'm afraid that made no difference. I'm using this code:

void CTestDlg::WriteFile(CString strFile, CString strText)
{
	CStdioFile file;
	if (!file.Open(strFile, CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeWrite | CFile::typeText))
	{
//		AfxMessageBox("Error - Couldn't save file.", MB_ICONSTOP | MB_SYSTEMMODAL);
		return;
	}

	file.Write(strText.GetBuffer(strText.GetLength()), strText.GetLength());

	strText.ReleaseBuffer();

	file.Close();
}

Happens with any string, on three different computers, Win98 and Win2k, although the last 7 (\n and \r) characters (the garbage) are always random.

Thanks.

Try getting rid of CStdioFile and replacing with CFile. The, when you're writing to the CString make sure you use \r\n where you'd normally use \n. Also, use Alvaro's with GetBuffer - it's easier and the copied buffer is un-needed.

If u use Struct for storing the file ,u will see the garbage actually it store the data in binary format and if i user open the file in text mode and it looks like garbage when u read from the file the garbage shows u the actual data.

Is there anyone who could tell me how to save a custom binary resource item as a binary file to disk? I want to include some data in my final exe which should be written to disk when the program first runs (sort of sfx). TIA.

Re: How to save a binary resource file to disk

Christian Graus23-Oct-01 0:45

If you have a pointer to the item, CFile allows you to write a chunk of data by specifying the start address and length - see my exmaple to the question above this one, it works just as well for any pointer you want to pass it.

but my cpp help doesnt know it at all.

22-Oct-01 23:51

Is it a console program ? I believe some other compilers had stuff for this sort of thing, from memory someone else asked about it. It's certainly not a standard function under Visual C++. If you can explain exactly what it needs to do ( i.e. is it in a window or a console, is it just setting the colour for a block of text, etc. ), I'm sure we can help more.

this is a sample of the program:
(it is i think a dos prog)

void background(void){
int a;
clrscr();
for(a=1;a<2000;a++){
textcolor(1);
textbackground(7);
cprintf("°");
}
gotoxy(1,25);
for(a=1;a<80;a++){
textbackground(7);
cprintf(" ");
}
}
