Try adding the following lines at the top of your stdafx.h file:

#define WINVER       0x0501
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501
#define _WIN32_IE    0x0600

These ensure that when the Windows headers get compiled, the features that are only present in later versions of Windows (or provided by Internet Explorer) are available.

Do I have to import something that implement the interface?

No. It sounds like in your application you're getting the interface from an API call (most likely SHGetDesktopFolder()). The only time you would implement IShellFolder2 would be if you were writing a namespace extension for an object that would become part of the Windows shell.

From my MFC program how can i find out the drive letter from which the OS Booted
Also
how to convert "\Device\HarddiskVolume1\" to "c:\"

any help/suggestion
is most welcome

That's easy. Have a look at the WinObj tool from http://www.sysinternals.com/[^].
You will find the information in the Windows NT namespace (Path "??").
Enumerate the namespace using the native API and search for the Harddisk aliases.

Don't try it, just do it! Wink | ;-)

Hi all,

In my application using eVC++ 4.0, I have to draw ellipses with different line styles such as dashed, dotted,
dashed-dotted..

I do it in VC++ 6.0, using Bezier Functions...
But some of the functions are not supported in eVC++ 4.0.

Is there any way to draw these ellipses?

Please help me...

Thanks in Advance,

As MSDN state,
The SendMessage function sends the specified message to a window or windows. It calls the window procedure for the specified window and does not return until the window procedure has processed the message.

I am facing Problem in this?i just want to transfer data back from the SendMessage,The way The ListView and etc work.

here is my code listing

on_click()<br />
{<br />
char nam1[255];<br />
nam1[0]=NULL;<br />
this->UpdateData(FALSE);<br />
::SendMessage((HWND)this->m_lHandle,WM_USER+90,0,(LPARAM)&nam1);<br />
<br />
MessageBox(nam1);<br />
}

and message Handlling

on_message()<br />
{<br />
char *nam1=(char*)lParam;<br />
<br />
char Text[100];<br />
sprintf(Text,"%u",nam1);<br />
//Address is ,macthes here<br />
::MessageBox(NULL,Text,"address of Nam1",MB_OK);<br />
strcpy(nam1,"codeproject");<br />
::MessageBox(NULL,Text,"kola",MB_OK);<br />
<br />
}

Both of Code working Fine, but name Variable contain some garbage value insist of codeproject

Any help is greatly apreciated

You are getting your levels of indirection mixed up.

ThatsAlok wrote:

Ok, nam1 is an array of 255 chars, can be accessed as a char*

ThatsAlok wrote:
(LPARAM)&nam1

You are passing the address of nam1, or a char**. You should drop the &.

ThatsAlok wrote:
char *nam1=(char*)lParam;

you are casting a char** to a char*, here is your error

ThatsAlok wrote:
strcpy(nam1,"codeproject");

You end up copying "codeproject" to the address of your string pointer, not the string as you expected.

To see this happen, open up the memory window in VC while you debug your code. watch the memory at mem1 and at the address of mem1.

actually i am facing problem in this step,i can successfully passing integer value by address but problem is when everi try to change the value of that interger, my MSStudio fails.

ie little code here

sending code

int *ji=new int;<br />
	*ji=10;<br />
	::SendMessage((HWND)this->m_lHandle,WM_USER+90,0,(LPARAM)*ji);<br />
	CString s;<br />
	s.Format("%d",*ji);<br />
	MessageBox(s);

Receiving Code

        int * i=(int*)lParam;<br />
         char Text[100];<br />
	  sprintf(Text,"%d ",*i);<br />
	 //char **Nam2=(char**)wParam;<br />
	  ::MessageBox(NULL,Text,Text,MB_OK);<br />
<br />
        *i=40;

hope any body understand my problem.

ThatsAlok wrote:
int * i=(int*)lParam;

You have to fix one of these two lines. In the SendMessage line you are passing 10 (*ji, the value that ji points to) as the lparam. Then in the recieving function you are casting the 10 to an int pointer. So basicly you are telling the program that the integer you want to work with is stored at memory address 10. This most likely gives you an access violation.

In the following code, you will notice that ji is already a pointer (int *ji), so when we send it via SendMessage we do not try to deference it ((LPARAM)*ji) which ends up passing the value 10, nor do we take the address of it ((LPARAM)&ji) which is actually passing a pointer to a pointer to an int (int **).

int *ji = new int;
*ji = 10;
::SendMessage((HWND)this->m_lHandle,WM_USER+90,(LPARAM)ji);
...
int *i = (int *)lParam

If you have trouble with pointers read those two excellent articles I pointed you to earlier.

Hello !
I have created some classes for Huffman Tree but when I call CreateNode function it appears an error about CharArray string.
What is this error ?
Who can help me about this problem ?
Thank you.

class Node
{
friend class HuffmanTree;
private:
char *CharArray;

unsigned long Frequency;

Node *pLeft;

Node *pRight;
….
}

class HuffmanTree
{
private:
Node *pRoot;

public:
HuffmanTree();

~HuffmanTree();
Node *CreateNode(char *CharArray, unsigned long Frequency);
….
}

Node *HuffmanTree::CreateNode(char *CharArray, unsigned long Frequency)
{
Node *NewNode = new Node(CharArray, Frequency);

NewNode->pLeft = NULL;

NewNode->pRight = NULL;

return NewNode;
}

Node::Node(char *CharArray, unsigned long Frequency)
{
int CharArrayLen = strlen(CharArray)+1;
this->CharArray = NULL;
// delete this->CharArray;
this->CharArray = new char(sizeof(char)*CharArrayLen);
strcpy(this->CharArray,CharArray);
this->Frequency = Frequency;
pLeft = NULL;
pRight = NULL;
}

Hello,
Your code seems OK except that (IMHO):
- you removed trailling ';' at the end of class declarations
- you do not check for CharArray consistency (e.g. != NULL)
- you should use a more structured syntax (as m_ prefix for data members)
- I would recommand the use of new char[] instead of new char(). It would imply the use of delete [] when destroying the memory block.

You should be more specific about your error. Do you receive an exception ?

How come no one has ever posting code related to USB port

I wanted to detect if a system (host) has high speed USB ports (ver 2.0). To my surprise CodeProject yielded nothing.

Does anyone has idea where to find that code. Basically user level program that enumerated the hubs, ports and may be attached devices and their information (serial no, manufactuer etc)

GetUserNameThe GetUserName function retrieves the user name of the current thread. This is the name of the user currently logged onto the system.

or you can search For a set of Netowrk CLasses at CP to get a class Related to User Enumeration/other user related activities,But that work in window2000 and above.
