Here's what fixed the problem:
We noticed that two copies of Rundll32.exe were running and when they were killed, things worked. We looked into what was causing the Rundll32 to be executed and found that the tray application for the NVidia software was responsible. Once that was removed from the startup, things worked fine on both PC's where the trouble was reported. Those people can no longer use the tray app for the video card but they didn't need it.
So, do you think it's something NVidia is doing, RunDll32, or just Windows that is at the root of the problem? Why would my pointer being passed in WM_COPYDATA get corrupt due to this app running?
Thanks for your help,
Dave.

Is there any way of finding out if a shell open of a file (double clicking a file) has occured in a program.
Thanks you
|

Thats really more complicated than I want. All I want is to be able to tell if a file has been opened by double clicking it, the MFC framework already loads the file and Initialises the Document, I simply want to know whether to display a dialog box if a file has not been opened.
Thanks anyway

Ok,
I have been trying to create a project that I could call when Pro Engineer Wildfire starts up. No matter what I do the project will not compile.
Here is the example that I am using
http://www.caddigest.com/subjects/pro_engineer/select/tutorials/jovanovic_toolkit_environment.htm
Here is what I need to do. When an assembly is opened I need to get all the Drawings / Sub Assemblies.. ect that are called out and log them.If anyone here has coded a program for Pro Engineer wildfire, PLEASE HELP..
Thanks
Will

thank you for the response. With Pro Engineer wildfire there is Pro Toolkit which gives you an API to program to Pro Engineer. After I added the directories where all the Pro toolkit header files are located I would get errors . Here is an example
one of the errors said that the function ProMessageDisplay does not take 3 arguments.. So I looked in the ProMessage.h file provided by PTC (the company that makes Pro Engineer)
Here is the declaration:
extern ProError ProMessageDisplay(
#ifdef PRO_USE_VAR_ARGS
ProFileName file_name,
ProCharLine message_name,
...
#endif
);
Because I am just getting into C++ I was thinking that the declaration was causing a problem, but I am not really sure.
Thank you again for the help

did you define PRO_USE_VAR_ARGS somewhere, its a conditional build so i guess thats wehre the problem lies... Some where in your .h file do
#define PRO_USE_VAR_ARGS 1

I need a way to detect when network connections (LAN, dial-up, wireless, etc.) become available or unavailable. The NotifyAddrChange function in the IP Helper API seems to do what I need, but I was wondering if there were any alternatives that I should explore.
Any suggestions?

Thanks. I knew there was another way that I'd stumbled across a while back, and that was it.

Does anyone know of a replacement for stretchblt? I have some code that doesn't allow the use of the windows api call, so I need to find some source that can be used instead of the API.
Anyone?

 Could it be that you are working on win98? some apis would work in win2k and not in win98.

Actually, I'm working on a minimum kernel build for Windows CE 2.12. The "minkern" build of CE does not include the API's I need (such as bitblt, or stretchblt), so I have to find an alternative.

I am testing my application on different client machines. The application got into an infinate loop when trying to open the database using ODBC. The error message says "Specified driver could not be located due to system error 5...". I am trying to track it down to exit the application when this occurs, but need help figuring out the value at m_nRetCode. There is a bunch of them from MSDN library. I tried
catch(CDBException* e)
{
//exit if not invalid user name and password
if (e->m_nRetCode==AFX_SQL_ERROR_API_CONFORMANCE || e->m_nRetCode == AFX_SQL_ERROR_CONNECT_FAIL
|| e->m_nRetCode == SQL_INVALID_HANDLE || e->m_nRetCode == AFX_SQL_ERROR_ODBC_LOAD_FAILED
|| e->m_nRetCode == AFX_SQL_ERROR_SQL_CONFORMANCE)
{
AfxMessageBox("Database Logon Error - " + e->m_strError);
exit(1);
return NULL;
}
else
AfxMessageBox("Database Logon Error, invalid user name or password - " + e->m_strError);
goto TRY_AGAIN;
}
But none of these is the correct one.

How about using the reverse approach ?
Take the return code of an 'invalid user name or password' event, fire the messagebox and goto TRY_AGAIN if this code equals the exception's return value. If it does not, fire a message box saying 'unspecified database error' and get the error string like you now do and exit the application. In means of implementation, this is just about reversing the if-clauses.

But there is no return code m_nRetCode for invalid name and password.

For all possible ODBC error codes, you can see the MSDN for ODBC Programmer's Reference Appendix A: ODBC Error Codes.
In order to see the true error caused by your application, catch all return values by type SQL_ERROR and then seeing CDBException::m_strStateNativeOrigin. In this string, the first 'State' string can be found from the ODBC Error Codes list.
From the forementioned list, the state code 08004 means 'Server rejected the connection'. This, by using free intrepretation, can be understood as 'Invalid logon' as well.
There is an ODBC Query Tool around in CodeProject that has a source code attached. If you can't find any other solution, try browsing through this source code and seeing how it handles return values from the ODBC driver manager.
The tool's page can be found from here[^]. Written by George Poulose.

Thank you. Your suggestion works. I got both state codes 28000 and IM006 returned when an invalid user name or password is entered.

Does anyone know how to draw a text which has font with outline effect. Like MS word does. I can't find any flag on CFontdialog and LOGFONT structure so we can set. If not, does anyone know what common dialog or control which is provided from MS word formatting font. Thanks.

Typically, special effects text drawing is accomplished by drawing the text more than once. Examples include shadowed text and sunken text (embossed).
For outlined text, a slightly larger font is created and the text drawn using the larger font prior to the normal text being drawn.
For shadowed text, the text is drawn using a grey color in a rectangle offset down and right by 2x2 or 4x4 (depending on the depth of the shadow) prior to the normal text being drawn.
For embossed text, the text is drawn using a white or grey color in a rectangle offset up and left by 2x2 or 4x4 (depending on the depth of the embossing) prior to the normal text being drawn.
onwards and upwards...
