Thanks for your reply! I'm sure I never would have figured that out on my own...and I understand it vaguely enough for it to make sense to me - which is enough. It works great too, builds properly and all that and I added a little bit of error handling (such as it is) to the mix.
One problem I'm having though is that my VB app can't find the function in the DLL. Is there a special way I need to declare the function so that it's what I'd call "Public" in a VB .Net sense, or visible beyond the scope of the inner workings of the DLL?
At the moment the function starts as...
<br />
cdError ReturnCamera(cdHandle hEnum, cdHandle &hnd)<br />
- cdError is just another unsigned long.
Thanks again!

Any function to be exported from a DLL should be preceeded by some declaraion that shows that this is an exported function. So you can try to declare the function as
<br />
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) cdError __cdecl ReturnCamera(cdHandle hEnum, cdHandle &hnd)<br />
__declspec(dllexport) shows that this is a function that dll exports and all other define C type convention for export.
with the above declaration I have called this function from C# .NET so I think this should work with VB .NET

Thanks so much for your reply!
I unfortunately can't say that my DLL is working, but the problem I have now is one in relation to the SDK, not with C++ or the help you offered. The 'extern "C" __declspec..." line did the trick fine, and I'm starting to get the hang of this!
Thanks again.

The default of an SDI application is SW_SHOWDEFAULT = SW_NORMAL.
How and where can this be changed to SW_MAXIMIZE?
thanks
|
|
|
|

Are you wanting to make the frame initially maximized? If so, just change SW_SHOW to SW_MAXIMIZE in the app's InitInstance() method.

I have a class called 'CWatchedWindow', and a vector container in my dialog class to hold pointers to CWatchedWindow objects.
I'm trying to use the find algorithm on the vector for a new object. The determining factor for one CWatchedWindow object to be equal to another is the string it holds, (m_strName). The operator== works in a simple if() statement, but it won't call any of the overloaded functions for operator== when I use the find algorithm using a pointer to an object of type CWatchedWindow. And I can't use it by de-referencing the pointer, because the template won't recognize it. Here's my class definition:
class CWatchedWindow
{
public:
unsigned long m_nSeconds;
CString m_strName;
COleDateTime m_lastTime;
CWatchedWindow()
{
m_lastTime = COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime();
m_nSeconds = 0;
}
bool operator== (const CWatchedWindow& sWord )
{
return m_strName.CompareNoCase(sWord.m_strName) == 0;
}
bool operator== (const CWatchedWindow sWord )
{
return m_strName.CompareNoCase(sWord.m_strName) == 0;
}
bool operator== (CWatchedWindow* pWord )
{
return m_strName.CompareNoCase(pWord->m_strName) == 0;
}
bool operator== (const CString& sWord )
{
return m_strName.CompareNoCase(sWord) == 0;
}
};
and here's the call to find:
CWatchedWindow win;
win.m_strName = m_strLastWindowCaption;
CWatchedWindow* pWin = &win;
vector<CWatchedWindow*>::iterator findIter;
findIter = find(vecWindows.begin(),vecWindows.end(),pWin);

The problem here is you're comparing pointers, and not the objects they point to.
Here's the code for find algorithm:
<br />
{
for (; _First != _Last; ++_First)<br />
if (*_First == _Val)<br />
break;<br />
return (_First);<br />
}<br />
*_First dereferences the iterator, which gives you a pointer to a CWatchedWindow. So basically, you're doing this:
<br />
int * x = 0;<br />
<br />
if (x == 10)<br />
<br />
whereas you want this:
<br />
int * x = 0;<br />
<br />
if (*x == 0)<br />
<br />
The way that I know to get around this problem is by using find_if() with a predicate.
<br />
<br />
class MatchName<br />
{<br />
MatchName(LPCTSTR lpszName) : m_strName(lpszName)<br />
{<br />
}<br />
bool operator()(CWatchedWindow* window)<br />
{<br />
return (window->m_strName.CompareNoCase(m_strName) == 0);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
iFind = find_if(blah.begin(), blah.end(), MatchName("Window Name"));<br />
<br />
if (iFind != blah.end())<br />
AfxMessageBox("Found it");<br />
<br />
The code for find_if is as follows:
<br />
<br />
for (; _First != _Last; ++_First)<br />
if (_Pred(*_First))<br />
break;<br />
return (_First);<br />
The _Pred(*_First) line triggers the function call operator defined in MatchName for each of the objects in the vector.
I think there is a way to avoid creating a class (ptr_fun? or something bizarre like that), but I'm only familar with the above method.
 Pssst. You see that little light on your monitor? That's actually a government installed spy camera. Smile and wave to big brother!

Cool! I thought about the find_if(), but I thought I was doing something wrong, that I should've been able to do it with find(). I stopped using pointers yesterday when I got frustrated, and just used the objects themselves. Either way, the same amount of CWatchedWindow objects will be hanging around for the duration of the program, and I don't have to worry about memory leaks this way. Is there any reason you can see why I shouldn't use the objects themselves instead of pointers? This seems to be a cleaner solution, but I'm not sure. Your solution is great, but I'm thinking it's better not to use workarounds if I don't have to?

It's perfectly fine to use the objects, I don't see it being a problem at all.
The rule of thumb I used to use, was to use pointers if the class was large/complex, that way algorithms/functions could access the object using a simple pointer address (32 bit variable) instead of creating a new copy of the object each time. The only reason for this (that I was told) was the speed gain, and given how fast today's computers are, there may not be much of a speed difference anymore.

Hi
Is there any way to create a recordset from the CListCtrl object ?

Your question is a bit ambiguous. Are you wanting to create a CRecordset object from within a CListCtrl object, or are you wanting to add records to a CRecordset object based on the items in a list control?

Hi
Am sorry, I shall put it right.
I want to export the CListCtrl data to excel File.
For this I want to get the recordset of CListCtrl object. This should be ado recordset. Then I can export to excel file using
Range.CopyFromRecordset(AdoRecordSet,...,...); function.

A CListCtrl object does not contain a record set, ADO or otherwise.
I've not ever used ADO so I may be off, but I think you'll need something like:
#import "c:\program files\Common Files\System\ado\msado15.dll"
_ConnectionPtr pCn;
_RecordsetPtr pRs;
CoInitialize(NULL);
pCn.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Connection));
pRs.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Recordset));
pCn.Open(...);
pRs.Open(..., pCn, ...);
for (int x = 0; x < m_listctrl.GetItemCount(); x++)
{
CString strText = m_listctrl.GetItemText(x, 0);
pRs->AddNew(...);
}
pRs.Close();
pCn.Close();

I was looking at the Automation Object Model chart and saw the VCProject object. In the help files I see an example where the VBProject is retrieved using DTE::GetObject("VBProjects"). I was wondering does anybody know how to do it for the VCProject and what IDispath derived object I need?
I am the handsome one in the crowd.

Hi all,
I've a problem: copy files to remote computer using Window XP by programming.
I have found WNetAddConnection2 function, but when I try to use this function connect to remote computer use WinXP with user has administrator right, it alway return "5" (Access Denied).
Here is my code
==================RemoteConnect.cpp=======================
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <winnetwk.h>
void main(){
NETRESOURCE nr;
DWORD res;
TCHAR szUserName[32] = "administrator",
szPassword[32] = "",
szLocalName[32] = "Q",
szRemoteName[MAX_PATH] = "\\\\sas\\C$";
//
// Assign values to the NETRESOURCE structure.
//
nr.dwType = RESOURCETYPE_DISK;
nr.lpLocalName = szLocalName;
nr.lpRemoteName = szRemoteName;
nr.lpProvider = NULL;
printf("%s\n", nr.lpRemoteName);
//
// Call the WNetAddConnection2 function to assign
// a drive letter to the share.
//
res = WNetAddConnection2(&nr, szPassword, szUserName, FALSE);
//
// If the call succeeds, inform the user; otherwise,
// print the error.
//
if (res == NO_ERROR)
printf("Connection added %s\n", szRemoteName);
else
printf("Error: %ld\n", res);
return;
}
==========================================================
Anyone know why this function failed?
If possible, please show me the solution to connect to remote computer using Win XP by programming (using WNetAddConnection or the other solutions).
I've hear about tftp, but i wonder that, if the remote computer don't have tftp listening, how can i use tftp to copy the files to it?
Please, help me find the right solution to do that.
Many thanks.

So what are you wanting help with, copying a file, or connecting to a remote computer? There is no need to connect to the remote computer (via WNetAddConnection2()) just to copy a file to it.

You can use CopyFile(), CopyFileEx(), or SHFileOperation() for this. The first two operate on one file at a time, while the last one supports wildcards.
