Making a slow program run faster

I am writing a program that interfaces with Flight Sim 2002 and 2004. I am writing this in .NET VC++ 7. I have one 100ms timer, and I am currently testing the program with only one funtion call. Every 100ms if a few variables are met the program accelerates the aircraft (writes a new velocity value to FS). That's the theory... in reality it only writes about once every 2-3 seconds or so. How can I make the program run faster, at a higher cpu priority, or whatever?

Load Icon From Resource

Hi, im trying to load an icon into a NotifyIcon structure, however it wont work when i try to load from a resource:

m_pNotifyIcon->Icon = new System::Drawing::Icon(GetType(), "App.ico");

The only way i can get it to work is if i load it directly from disk (by doing Icon("App.ico")). But i would rather it load from the embedded icon in the resource. I have included the resource.h and the icons ID is IDI_APP.

Here is the code for the constructor:

<br />
frmSysTray::frmSysTray()<br />
{<br />
    m_pContextMenu = new Windows::Forms::ContextMenu();<br />
    m_pContextMenu->MenuItems->Add("Test1");<br />
    m_pContextMenu->MenuItems->Add("Test2");<br />
<br />
    m_pNotifyIcon = new NotifyIcon();<br />
    m_pNotifyIcon->Icon = new Drawing::Icon(GetType(), "App.ico");<br />
    m_pNotifyIcon->ContextMenu = m_pContextMenu;<br />
    m_pNotifyIcon->Visible = true;<br />
}<br />

hi all...

ok, ill get to the nuts and bolts of the problem...

i keep getting a C2259 error ('class' : cannot instantiate abstract class due to following members: )

now the class it is complaining about is one that instantiates IDataParameterCollection and ArrayList... specifically:

public __gc class NewSQLParameterCollection: public ArrayList, public IDataParameterCollection{};

and the function it is complaining about is this one...

bool  Contains(String *p)<br />
{<br />
   //if IndexOf returns a value less than 0, then we know that<br />
   //the item doesn't exist<br />
   if (this->IndexOf(p) >= 0)<br />
      return true;<br />
   else<br />
      return false;<br />
}

(umm, and before you say that i am missing the NewSQLParameterCollection:: indentifier, i should mention that i am inlining the call within the class header... Smile | :)

)

now the problem occurs when in a subsequent class i call the following

function test::sometest()<br />
{<br />
 NewSQLParameterCollection *p = new NewSQLParameterCollection(S"Name", Object);<br />
}

it says that it can't find the function (as in bool Contains(...)) above, but as you can see, it's there...

any ideas?

this is for an open source C++.NET MySQL driver i am writing, so any help would be GREATLY appreciated...

cheers and thanks

You probably need to uniquely identify your implementation.

bool IDataParameterCollection::Contains(String *p)
{
    //if IndexOf returns a value less than 0, then we know that
    //the item doesn't exist
    if (this->IndexOf(p) >= 0)
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}

hi roger...

yeah, already tried that, and then it comes up with:

MySqlParameterCollection.h(23) : error C3244: 'IDataParameterCollection.Contains' : this method was introduced by 'System::Data::IDataParameterCollection' not by 'System::Data::IDataParameterCollection'<br />

which is strange... however, you did inspire me and i tried this:

bool  MySqlParameterCollection::Contains(String *p)<br />
{<br />
   //if IndexOf returns a value less than 0, then we know that<br />
   //the item doesn't exist<br />
   if (this->IndexOf(p) >= 0)<br />
      return true;<br />
   else<br />
      return false;<br />
}

and that seems to have removed one of the 'errors', i just need to workout why the same technique is not working for __property bool get_IsNullable(void) for MySqlParameter, and i will have it! Big Grin | :-D

Crashing of .NET IDE when placing custom designer control in toolbox

:(Hello Friends,

We are making a VC++ . net designer control by wrapping an mfc control we are already having.But when I place the control in the toolbox, by selecting the control dll , there is some unhandled exception happens and the proces is terminated.This problem is not happening when I place the control by copying and pasting form some existing samples using this control ,made previously by another developer.That is once this control is copied and placed on some design form, there is no problem in adding this control to the tool box.
while debugging I could see the _DllMainCRTStartup() function is repeatedly called .Each time DllMainCRTStartup is called the application slows down and finally an unhandled exception is being thrown.
We are using the .NET Framework 1.0 version 1.0.3705
and IDE 2002 version 7.0.9466
Please help me...Thankz in advance

I was trying to add a custom contorl to the tool box , the IDE was crashed .I tried with a simple class that derived form control that too could not be added to the toolbox when placed within this assembly(same result the ide was crashed).
The call stack is like the following.

ntdll.dll!77f827e8()
kernel32.dll!77e86a3d()
user32.dll!77e2481d()
user32.dll!77e24600()

user32.dll!77e1569d()
msenv.dll!50080965()
msenv.dll!50080939()

the error message got was
Unhandled exception at 0x096cb860 in devenv.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x096cb860.

is it due to some problem with the dll since it was made by wrapping an mfc control..
Friends plz tell me due to what reason the this is happening..

Getting an HINSTANCE in a managed C++ dll

2-Feb-04 2:09

Even though the traffic seems to be relatively small here, I'll go ahead and ask anyway. I'm writing a managed dll in C++ (actually it's an NUnit test dll), and I need to be able to get the dll's HINSTANCE - to either load resources or to call GetModuleFileName( ). So far I've tried the following:

<br />
_pModule->get_m_hInstResource( )<br />
_pModule->get_m_hInst( )<br />
::GetModuleHandle( NULL )<br />
AfxGetResourceHandle( )<br />
AfxGetInstanceHandle( )<br />

But no luck. They just return NULL. Has anyone had any similar problem in the past, and if so, what did you do to solve it?

Because its a managed DLL, I think the best approach would be to
get at the Resources via
using System::Reflection

__gc Assembly* Assembly;
__gc ???* [] mResults; //Don't recall the return type.

mResult[] = Assemble->GetExecutingAssembly()->GetLoadedModules(true);

And then walk the array of objects filtering for IsResource() property.

Casting of a Object * to a Enum value question??

araelgig2-Feb-04 1:27

2-Feb-04 1:27

Hi all!

I have a problem with letting the compiler accept the following code, see example below.

I have a logfile that contains statements about variuos actions taken during an installation. The actions are a value of a enum type itemOper = {FileCopy, FileMerge, FolderOk, ...} which is written to the logfile by Enum::GetName(__typeof(itemOper), oper), where oper has one value of the enum type. No FlagAttribute are used.
When i later read the logfile I want to translate the text "FileCopy" back into a value of type itemOper. It works fine in runtime with the debugger and the following code:

Object * item = Enum::Parse(__typeof(itemOper), S"FileCopy");

If i set a breakpoint at a line after this statement the debugger show that the variable item has the value "FileCopy", thats fine!! Now to the problem. The compiler does not allow any cast's or a switch(oper) statement!!!. It does not accept a "if (oper == itemOper::FileCopy)" and so on.

What to do, the base class Enum is usable at some point, but here I'm stuck.
Does anybody know how to "fool" the compiler or does anybody have the right solution??

/Thanks

Re: Casting of a Object * to a Enum value question??

I have to unbox the value from the returned Object

Hi everybody,

I have downloaded latest swfsource form www.sourceforge.com
I am trying to build swfsource using VC++ .NET, but while linking it showing many LNK2005 errors.

I tired /FORCE:MULTIPLE option in Project->Properties->Linker->Command Line, and this option helps me to remove those errors and forcely link swfsource successfully.
This force linking is not generating full swfsource.exe file.

Can anybody suggest me some better solution, which does this linking in normal ways(i.e. without forcefully)?

I think the errors are coming from around line 647 of WinNT.h, because the __inline keyword is being ignored. Perhaps your project has a macro called __inline?

Hi Mike..

Thankyou very much for replying me...

I find the line 647 in WinNT.h file and looked at the respective keyword
The code at line 647 is as follows:

__inline ULONGLONG
NTAPI
Int64ShllMod32 (
ULONGLONG Value,
DWORD ShiftCount
)
{
__asm {
mov ecx, ShiftCount
mov eax, dword ptr [Value]
mov edx, dword ptr [Value+4]
shld edx, eax, cl
shl eax, cl
}
}

__inline LONGLONG
NTAPI
Int64ShraMod32 (
LONGLONG Value,
DWORD ShiftCount
)
{
__asm {
mov ecx, ShiftCount
mov eax, dword ptr [Value]
mov edx, dword ptr [Value+4]
shrd eax, edx, cl
sar edx, cl
}
}

__inline ULONGLONG
NTAPI
Int64ShrlMod32 (
ULONGLONG Value,
DWORD ShiftCount
)
{
__asm {
mov ecx, ShiftCount
mov eax, dword ptr [Value]
mov edx, dword ptr [Value+4]
shrd eax, edx, cl
shr edx, cl
}
}

The solution suggested by you seems to be very beneficial to me..
but, i am not getting the solution suggested by you regarding __inline keyword in WinNT.h file,

So, Please suggest me solution in detail i.e. what i have to do to remove this error..

Thanks in advance.

30-Jan-04 12:13

can someone tell me how do i read inputs from a text file?

(im still a beginner in C++,iv pored through a number of books but none has enlightened me..:sigh

the input is made of a hexadecimal number on each line, till the end of the file. the hex numbers represent an 8-bit number.

how do i convert the hex number to binary instead, upon reading it?

im aware that each character will be read in ASCII (correct me if im wrong)and stored into an array before the programmer can convert it to hex instead. but i dont know how the coding is like.

if im not mistaken, each input will be placed in a [1x8] array (or matrix). how do i change it into an [8x1] array instead, with the bit-0 placed as the first element of the new [8x1] array?can someone tell me the exact code please?

many thanx..

You're not getting much response to this, are you? Smile | :)

Okay, though I'm a beginner, too, I'll take a crack at it...

First, to read the file you can use fopen and streams, or CFile and a character buffer. Streams make me crazy, so I don't use them yet, but you may have better luck with them.

Converting the individual characters to integer values is easy. Use isdigit(ch) on each character read to find out whether it's in the range 0 to 9. If it is, use atoi(ch) to return the value as an integer. For characters A to F, I'd first check using isalpha(ch) to filter out carriage returns and such, then apply toupper(ch) to make them upper case, then a ~~Select~~ (oops) Switch statement to set the values (case 'A': value=10; case 'B':value=11; etc).

Combining two input characters into a one byte hex number is straighforward, I think. I'd try taking the first int value and shift it left (value<<4) by four bits, then add the second value to it. The lower byte of the int result should be the binary value you're looking for.

As for the rest - I don't understand the question well enough to guess. Could you clarify what you're trying to do with the array thingy?

As I said, I'm a beginner too, so any of the above may be entirely wrong. But that's the approach I'd start with, then let the many error messages that result lead me to a correct solution. Hopefully this is enough to get you started. Good luck! Big Grin | :-D

hmmm...

i won't give you the 'exact code' because this sounds like a homework question, but i will do this for you...

1. a [8x1] matrix is the transpose of a [1x8] matrix, hence they are identical (in the case of [qx1]/[1xq] matrices).

2. if you use a 'vector' type like a queue or a stack, then this will be your 'vector', else just create an array, i.e. char a[8];

3. assuming the number you are talking about is a character that represents a hex number like "^B" = 0x02h or "^J" = 0x08h, then what you will need to do is to bitwise 'AND' (which is a singular & not the AND operator which is &&) each bit position to find out whether the bit is set or not...
eg:

10010110 &<br />
     00000010<br />
     ========<br />
     00000010<br />

to do that calculation you would do something like
(var & 0x02)? 1:0;

i.e. if the result of the bitwise & is true return 1 else return 0.

so, you will need to bitwise AND it with

0x01   // 2^0 = 0000 0001
0x02   // 2^1 = 0000 0010
0x04   // 2^2 = 0000 0100
0x08   // 2^3 = 0000 1000
0x10   // 2^4 = 0001 0000
0x20   // 2^5 = 0010 0000

that should give you enough of the pattern for you to do the rest yourself...

4. finally, you can place the result of the bit in any order you want...

as for storing the ASCII character in an array first, this is highly unnecessary, you should be able to process each character as it comes through the stream...

try that, show me your results and if it looks like you need more help, we can try from there...

hope this 'enlightens' you a little more... the joy of programming is the 6 weeks of frustration followed by a fleeting 'ah' that signals the moment of complete enlightenment... it is the drug all programmers work towards... Smile | :)

cheers and good luck
