yep, it seems to be better to use a reference.

with this procedure my string output is only "0.1922"

remember incoming:

924.09,-4.06,676.26,0.156488,-0.653856,-0.714853,-0.192273

It looks like that the first values running through the digits in the dialog..mmh?? Is this so complicate to give out the full string?

Thanks, Mark

My example was not a reference. It was a pointer, exactly what the Read() method is expecting. Had it wanted a reference, the signature would look like:

BOOL Read(void& lpBuf, ...);

You mentioned that 924.09,-4.06,676.26,0.156488,-0.653856,-0.714853,-0.192273 is arriving at the serial port. How are you verifying this?

This is the position string from a robot arm and every time the same format.

x,y,z shift and quaternion 1-4

I have to extract them later from the string in float variables

That's all well and good, but in your original post, you indicated that "This arrives at my serial port," implying that the data is indeed there. That's why I asked how you were verifying it.

In the while loop that you are using to read the incoming data, how many times does the loop execute?

After each call to Read(), what is the value of dwBytesRead?

If the incoming data is always in the same format and is always less than X bytes, you might could use this instead:

char received[X];
port.Read(received, sizeof(received), overlapped, &dwBytesRead);
received[dwBytesRead] = '\0';

It appends a \0 character to the end of the string.

How big is the received array, and what is the value of dwBytesRead?

Since dwBytesRead is a DWORD, you'll need to use the %lu format.

Nonetheless, if received[] is only 40 bytes, trying to access the -858993460th position, or any value outside of 0-39, is obviously wrong. Check the return value of Read() beforehand.

In your original post, you indicated that 58 characters were being sent to the serial port. You'll need room for that plus one more so received[] should be 59 not 40. This is not the root of the problem, however, but will eventually need to be addressed.

Are you sure a problem exists? Maybe there was only one byte available to read.

But this Byte output like: j
which means no character in it?
But the full string is arriving..

if i don't use this line:

received[dwBytesRead] = '\0';

the output is:

-0.714853,-0.192273jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj

How are you verifying this claim?

Whct class does the Read() method belong to? I'm curious if the fourth parameter is being used correctly. If more than one byte is being read, yet dwBytesRead equals 1, something is awfully wrong. It might also be the third parameter, but I've never used the OVERLAPPED structure before so I can't say for sure.

custom resource problem

20-Apr-04 23:36

I created a custom resource in the SDI project, in other words, there is a new folder named "MyText" under the "MyView recources" in the resource view workspace , and there is an entry named "IDR_MYTEXT1" in the "MyText" folder. The content of IDR_MYTEXT1 is imported from a text file. I want to show the text file in the view window. but some error occured, I can't see the text file content at all.

Thanks for help in advance!

void CMyView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
CView::OnInitialUpdate();
HRSRC hrsrc=::FindResource(::AfxGetApp()->m_hInstance,"IDR_MYTEXT1","MyText");

HGLOBAL hglb=::LoadResource(::AfxGetApp()->m_hInstance,hrsrc);
LPVOID m_ptr=::LockResource(hglb);

}

void CMyView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)
{
CMy0421Doc* pDoc = GetDocument();

ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);
pDC->TextOut(0,0,"I insert a text file as a custom resource, and show it in the SDI program");

pDC->TextOut(100,100,(char*)m_ptr);

}

And that error would be what?

In the OnInitialUpdate() method, you have a local variable named m_ptr. How are you expecting to access this variable from within the OnDraw() method?

m_ptr is a member variable of CMyView, so I think it is valid in the OnDraw();

Re: custom resource problem

So change the LPVOID m_ptr=::LockResource(hglb) statement to m_ptr=::LockResource(hglb) instead.

Yes I have change the line to m_ptr=::LockResource(hglb), the problem is still the same, no text file was shown as expected.

I tried to set a breakpoint at the line:
HGLOBAL hglb=::LoadResource(::AfxGetApp()->m_hInstance,hrsrc);

and then pressed the button Go, in the output window, I got hrsrc's value is 0X00000000, clicked to extract the button left to the "hrsrc", there is some info shown as "unused CXX0030: Error: expression can't be evaluated"

the hglb's vaule is 0xcccccccc

Not if it is used correctly. If it, or LoadResource() are returning NULL, call GetLastError() to find out why.

I was told to add the MAKEINTRESOURCE to the parametre in the function FindResource(), Then all the code began to work properly.

FindResource(::AfxGetApp()->m_hInstance,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_MYTEXT1),"MYTEXT");

Another question, under what condition is the MAKEINTRESOURCE necessary?

Check the Scrolling Functions of CWnd

GetScrollPos Retrieves the current position of a scroll box.
GetScrollRange Copies the current minimum and maximum scroll-bar positions for the given scroll bar.
ScrollWindow Scrolls the contents of the client area.
ScrollWindowEx Scrolls the contents of the client area. Similar to ScrollWindow, with additional features.
GetScrollLimit Retrieves the limit of the scroll bar.
SetScrollPos Sets the current position of a scroll box and, if specified, redraws the scroll bar to reflect the new position.

Does anyone know how to set the ime caret style to the same style as shown on the notepad shot?

and does anyone have any clue why the caret is shown at the top left corner the first time it appears?
