The problem is that your whole app should be exploding. You haven't actually allocated any memory for your string, so the behavior will certainly be unexpected. Try allocating enough space for the string first then calll GetWindowText passing in the amount of space you actually allocated then do the message box then remember to clean up the memory you allocated. A good start would be to learn C/C++ programming before jumping head first into windows development.

Since the IEframe does not belong to your app's process you need to send the WM_GETTEXT message to the hwnd of the IE. This is the correct way:

TCHAR wndText[512];
::SendMessage(IE,WM_GETTEXT,sizeof(wndText)/sizeof(TCHAR),(LPARAM)(void*)wndText);

Hello, the codegurus around the world.;)

I think that your approaches works to get the text in Edit box as
Paul Delicika sais in MSDN artile. Confused | :confused:

The following code works for me.

void CCodeTestDlg::OnOK() 
{
	// TODO: Add extra validation here
	CString ieTitle;
	TCHAR title[MAX_PATH];

	CWnd *pWnd = CWnd::FindWindow ("IEFrame",NULL);

	if (pWnd) {
		MessageBox ("IE is opened!", "Info");

		// By MFC
		pWnd->GetWindowText (ieTitle);
		GetDlgItem (IDC_MYSTATIC)->SetWindowText (ieTitle);

		// By Win32 API
		::GetWindowText (pWnd->m_hWnd, title, MAX_PATH);
		MessageBox (title, "Test");

	}

	else {
		MessageBox ("IE isn't opened!", "Info");
	}

//	CDialog::OnOK();
}

Please, don't send me your email about your questions directly.
Have a nice day!

VC++ Package Deployment

Hi All!

under MS Visual Studio, we have a tool call Package Deployment Wizard for Visual Basic. This tool helps make a setup package for an EXE file of VB. It attaches all the dll files to the VB exe file basically. Do we have anything like that for VC++? I ask this because one of my applications does not run under NT4.0 SP6 when I compile it using "use MFC in a shared dll". The file needed is MFC42.dll;

Thanks
Vu

Hi!

I use install shield to make setup disk. However, the installed package does not fix the problem. The OS still complains about the MFC42.dll
Do I miss anything?

VC++ 7 has a built-in setup feature, that should be enough for most deployment needs.

RAS problem

7-Dec-01 10:28

I have to detect if there is a RAS connection active on the machine, so I wrote the following code

RASCONN * lpRasConn;
DWORD lpcb;
DWORD lpcConnections;

lpRasConn = (LPRASCONN) GlobalAlloc(GPTR, sizeof(RASCONN));
lpRasConn->dwSize = sizeof(RASCONN);
lpcb = sizeof(RASCONN);

int nRet = RasEnumConnections(lpRasConn, &lpcb, &lpcConnections);
if (nRet != 0)
{
TRACE("RasEnumConnections failed: Error = %d", nRet);
return(FALSE);
}
else
{
TRACE("The following RAS connections are currently active\n\n");
return(TRUE);
for (DWORD i = 0; i < lpcConnections; i++)
{
TRACE("Entry name: %s\n", lpRasConn->szEntryName);
lpRasConn++;
}
return(TRUE);
}
The fuction fails everytime and I always have the same error message (even I test it on different computers)
the message is "632 : The structure size is incorrect".

Any help would be great..
Thanks,

Fakhri

Hello, the codegurus aroudn the world.;)

This is the latest RASCONN struct.

typedef struct _RASCONN { 
  DWORD     dwSize; 
  HRASCONN  hrasconn; 
  TCHAR     szEntryName[RAS_MaxEntryName + 1]; 
 
#if (WINVER >= 0x400) 
  TCHAR    szDeviceType[ RAS_MaxDeviceType + 1 ]; 
  TCHAR    szDeviceName[ RAS_MaxDeviceName + 1 ]; 
#endif 
#if (WINVER >= 0x401)
  TCHAR    szPhonebook [ MAX_PATH ];
  DWORD    dwSubEntry;
#endif 
#if (WINVER >= 0x500)
  GUID     guidEntry;
#endif
#if (WINVER >= 0x501)
  DWORD     dwSessionId;
  DWORD     dwFlags;
  LUID      luid;
#endif
} RASCONN ;

So, if we didn't download the latest Microsoft SDK, and didn't get the ras.h file, RASCONN struct size may be conflicted in rasapi32.dll in OS.

To avoid this kind of the conflict, you may be better explicit intialization of RASCONN struct in your code. Otherwise, you had better install the latest Microsoft SDK.

However, this is my guess. Dead | X|

Date Conversion

The following code:

// Get file accessed date from _stat
struct _stat buff;

_tstat ( (TCHAR*)m_szFilePath, &buff);

TCHAR* l_szTime = _tctime(&buff.st_atime);

TCHAR* p_eol = _tcsstr(l_szTime, _T("\n"));

// Remove the '\n' from the end of the returned string from atime.
*p_eol = L'\0';

// Return the file accessed date.
*p_szDate = (_bstr_t) l_szTime;

produces Fri Dec 07 11:23:13 2001.

Does anyone know how to get the prettier way Properties does it? (Today, December 7, 2001, 11:23 AM)

Please let me know if there is such a way. If not, does someone know of any code that does the formatting?

Thanks,
Lilian

GetDateFormat() and GetTimeFormat() format dates/times using the user's language and regional settings automatically.

Thanks, Mike, for your response. I should have been more specific. I need to take that TCHAR * and convert it to a prettier format. My application needs to display the creation, accessed, and modified dates of a file. If there is no convenience function to convert the date, I guess I'll just have to write my own Frown | :(

Thanks,

If you want your output to conform to the user's locale settings (and you should) you'll need to use something other than stat() (like GetFileTime()), or use CTime which can convert from time_t to SYSTEMTIME.

Hope this helps. A better solution is to have a structure representing the packet u send. Reply back if u want more info on this method.

WTL & Automation

Jens Sorensen7-Dec-01 9:21

Jens Sorensen

7-Dec-01 9:21

Hi All,
Question: How can I support Automation in my WTL application?? E.g., I would Like to be able to do a

Obj.Visible = true (or false) and it will display the app., just like in IE??

Here is what I tried but it does not work:

I'm trying to create a WTL Application that supports Automation, but I have been unsuccessful so far. Here is what I do.

1. Create a WTL project called “Test” which is a “SDI Application”, and I create it as “Create as a COM Server” and I don’t “Use a view Window”

I compile it and it works just fine. The application is up and running. Now I insert a COM Object called “Application”, this COM Object contains one property, which is called “Visible”, and it’s a Get & Put property. I compile the project and it compiles just fine. Then I create a .VBS file and it looks like this

Set Obj = CreateObject(“Test.Application”)

Obj.Visible = True

The “Obj.Visible” generates an error:

Error: Library not registered
Code: 8002801D

However if I do an:

MsgBox IsObject(Obj)

Then it will return TRUE in the Message Box. However if I try and Register the Control from VS (Tools->Register Control) then I will get the following Error:

Test.exe was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer Entry point was not found. Test.exe does not appear to be a .DLL or .OCX (which is correct, its an .exe)

Any help would be great..
Thanks,
Jens

You didn't say what interface your Application object implements. Your COM object needs to be a dispatch interface in order for WSH or other scripting clients to use it.
