See this short program :-

#include <iostream.h>
void abc()
{
cout << "hello world\r\n";
}
void (*xyz)();
void main()
{
xyz=abc;
(*xyz)();
}

hehehe
sorry
I still have memory-left-overs from the DOS days

try the following instead :-

#include "stdafx.h"

void (*pFunc)();

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	pFunc=(void(__cdecl*)())0xffff0000;
	return 0;
}

Oooooook, just "pFunc = (void(*)())address" is ok.
thank you very very much, thank you all, especially thank you Busterboy.

I am doing some jobs as to store records like information into files. I've try the Compound File implementation of the Structured Storage, but the result files seems always too big for me, even one empty file costs about 2.5k! I like the way that the Compound File acts but the file size also means a lot to me. What should I do then?

Avoid structured storage - not only are the files big, but the performance is terrible. I tried using SS for an app that needed to store lots of small files in a single large file and the performance really sucked!

ON_WM_ACTIVATE:
if (activate & fullsize)
hide_taskbar
else
show taskbar

think this should work..

Reading raw data

Hello,
I am trying to read the last 128 bytes of a compressed file(MP3)... How can I extract the last 128 bytes and display this information in a CString.. I am using CFile to open the mp3 and dumping the entire contents into a char.. I then dump that into a CString.. but the format is all wrong. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to dump the last 128 bytes of a file into a CString? If I open the file in notepad and scroll to the bottom.. I can see the information I'm trying to extract.

Thanks,

Rob

A CString is the wrong thing to use. I assume you're looking for an ID3v1 tag? The tag can have embedded 0 bytes, or the tag might not even be present. Use an array of 128 BYTEs instead and parse it manually. See this shell extension article where I do exactly this.

Why not use the tchar macros, that way your code will work with SBCS, MBCS and UNICODE. The tchar macro for strlen is _tcslen().

How to delete a Class

Steve L.25-Nov-01 11:57

25-Nov-01 11:57

To delete a class what I do is i go to the File View and I delete the .cpp and .h files of my class. If i go to the class wizard the class can not be found so it looks right. However, if i try to create a class of the same name of the class i just deleted it calls it class1 as opposed to just class. What i have to do is go to windows explorer and delete the .cpp and .h files which i thought i had already deleted. Then i goto the class wizard and it says something like can not find class then it asks me if it wants me to delete it. This doesn's seem like the right way to delete a class. Is it?

VC has removed the files from the project, but not your hard drive. So go to the directory and delete the old class ( the filename won't have the leading 'C' in it ), and then start again.

One way to delete a class created by classwizard in V6.0:

Say, your class is Cabc.

Delete the abc.h and abc.cpp file in the FileView .
Delete the abc.h and abc.cpp file using the windows explorer.
Do a string search on 'abc' using 'Find in files' and click on the line containing 'abc' and '.clw' in the output window to open class wizard in the editor.

Double click on the line containing the string '.clw' in the output window.

Find the references like the following for 'abc' and delete those lines.
[CLS:Cabc]
Type=0
HeaderFile=abc.h
ImplementationFile=abcr.cpp
BaseClass=CWinThread
Filter=N
LastObject=Cabc

Also, find out the part of the .clw file as below and change the class
count number to 1 less. Delete the line containing 'Class3=Cabc'.

ClassCount=3
Class1=CMyAppApp
Class2=CMyAppDlg
Class3=Cabc

At times 'Class3=Cab' may not be with the other classes as below:
(It is a good idea to have them together.)

ClassCount=3
Class1=CMyAppApp
Class2=CMyappDlg

ResourceCount=2
Resource1=IDR_MAINFRAME
Class3=Cabc
Resource2=IDD_MYAPP_DIALOG

Finally it will be something as below:

ClassCount=2
Class1=CMyAppApp
Class2=CMyAppDlg

ResourceCount=2
Resource1=IDR_MAINFRAME
Resource2=IDD_MYAPP_DIALOG

Click on the file menu and click on save.

close the .clw window (do not forget to do this).

It is a good idea to close the workspace and start again.

Gosh that's a whole lot of work. Why not delete the .clw file and let VC regenerate it ?
