First, point your browser to this location: http://www.logix4u.net/inpout32.htm
In there, download the Inpout32 binaries and sources. From this zipfile, extract the files inpout32.dll and inpout32.lib. Place these into your project directory.
Open up your project, and go to project settings. Link with "inpout32.lib" to gain access to two functions: Inp32 and Out32. You also need the definitions of the functions. They are as follows (add them to the start of the code module where you wish to use them, or create a header file):
extern short _stdcall Inp32(short PortAddress);
extern void _stdcall Out32(short PortAddress, short data); Now, use the articles' instructions to determine the address of your computer's parellel port. Then use the Inp32 function to read from this address. The returned value is a short integer.
If you need to determine if a certain pin on the port is set to logic-1 (high), use the articles' instructions, or Google for 'binary operations'. The idea is to mask the returned value against a certain value. The result of the mask operation is either TRUE or FALSE, depending if the pin is set or not. There are so many examples of masking operations on the Net that I don't want to repeat them here.

i got it ,,
i have little confusion now.
I m writing data on 0x378 address (data register)that goes to attached device
can i read data from it ,, mean to say that my
device can write data on data register pin that i want to register.
or it should write on status pins (10-15)
or only pins 2 to 9 can do both read and write
thax
Regards.

The pins of a MODERN (at least a Pentium III -grade computer/MB) parellel port are indifferent whether you are reading or writing. You can both read and write to the data port. This is called a bi-directional LPT port.
You can use the data port (0x378) to send data (write values from 0 to 255). The data is represented in binary format, with the D0 being the least significant bit and D7 the most significant.
You can also use the data port to receive data. If you use the D0-D7 pins, you can read from address 0x378. If you input the voltages to pins S3-S6, you use the address 0x379 to read the value. Remember that the input values on S3-S6 range from 0, 8 - 248, because pins S0-S2 are not physically there, although they exist for the computer. This means that if you read from the address 0x379, and only the S3 has voltage, the received integer is 8. If all S3-S6 have voltage, the value is 248. If none have voltage, the value is 0. Note that I am not 100% sure of these values. The easiest way is to physically put a suitable voltage there and see what the function returns.
Remember to use big enough resistors in your connections. The parellel port cannot handle big currents (output or input). It will break, and most likely also damage your motherboard. The maximum current running through a pin should be around 2-3 mA. This "should" be safe, however I cannot guarantee, and will not take responsibility. The best way is to use a TTL optocoupler that will physically disconnect the actual device from the parellel port. In this way, the data is transfered in TTL logic levels, but the currents will never go over the limits.

thanx but a little problm again.
i m writing to data register a value assume 18.
in response my device should return me 33;
when i read it from data register ( the reply of device) it gives me the same value as i sended. 20.
wts the problm ,, my device is not properly updating(writng on ) data register .
is it .. or some other isssue
thanx
Regards.

This happens because both your application and the device are writing to the port at the same time.
The Inpout32 library, when you call Out32(), will set the port's pins to represent the value you specify. This means that the pins will stay powered even after the call is completed.
To initiate succesfull communication with your device through the same port, first use Out32(888, 0) to clear any previous outputs. Then write Out32(888, 18). Now make your device read the value in some way (press a button, for example). When done, write Out32(888, 0) again. Put your device to send data, and use Inp32 to read the value.
The problem itself is simple: both you and the device are issuing voltage to the port's pins. This means that if you write 00000001 and your device answers to this by putting 10000000, the port will end up with 10000001, unless you clear your own output first. So, the trick is to call Out32(888, 0) before reading the input.

I have used one function called "LogonUser" to log into given server with given user name. This function returns the handle which you can use to impersonate the current user. The function to do that is
BOOL ImpersonateLoggedOnUser(HANDLE hToken);
Now after doing this I want to use function "FindFirstFile()" and "FindNextFile" to get the list directory/files in given path.
Here I want to list only those directory/files which a user has rights to access ? so how to do it exactly after using LogonUser function.
Can any one help me ?...I m writing my structure here..
----------------------------------------
void main()
{
RetVal = LogonUser(pszUserName,pszDomainName,pszPassword,dwLogonType,dwLogonProvider,&hToken);
if (RetVal != 0)
{
ResImp = ImpersonateLoggedOnUser(hToken);
if (ResImp != 0)
{
hHandle = FindFirstFile(....) // Here I want to find only those files which have right so that user "pszUserName" can access it..."
if( all files found)
{
list all files here....
}
else
{
You don't have rights to access this files/directories...
}
}
}
}
------------------------------------
Can you plz help me ? It's really urgent....
Thanking You...

I want to change the position of mouse pointer in my Internet Explorer.For this i have written the code below.But the createEventObject method fails.Please if someone could tell me what is the reason for this failure and what should be done so that createEventObject returns success.Thanks in advance.
IHTMLEventObj *pEvtObj = NULL;
IHTMLDocument4 *pDoc4 = NULL;
hr = m_pHTMLDoc->QueryInterface( IID_IHTMLDocument4,(void**)&pDoc4);
//m_pHTMLDoc is a valid document pointer
if(SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
hr = pDoc4->createEventObject(NULL,&pEvtObj);
if(SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
CComQIPtr<ihtmleventobj2, &iid_ihtmleventobj2=""> pEvtObj2;
pEvtObj2 = pEvtObj;
g_Xpos = g_lastXpos = Xpos;
g_Ypos = g_lastYpos = Ypos;
hr = pEvtObj2->put_clientX(Xpos);
if(hr == 0)
{
AfxMessageBox("put_clientX successful");
}
else
{
AfxMessageBox("put_clientX failed");
}
hr = pEvtObj2->put_clientY(Ypos);
pEvtObj2->Release();
}
pDoc4->Release();
}

HBRUSH CAboutDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
if (pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID() == IDC_EDIT2)
{
pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(255, 0, 0));
hbr = m_brush;
}
return hbr;
}
this code works beautifully when changing an edit box (IDC_EDIT2), but if i put a static name instead like IDC_STATIC1, the static stays the same color (it doesnt change colors), anyone know how this can be solved? im just trinyg to change 1 static and leave the rest alone

As IDC_STATIC1 equals -1, you'll have to select another id for your static control.

Massive brainfart here. IDC_STATIC is -1 of course.

hi all,
if i want to compile C++ but no C#,VB.NET,J# etc... does it enough to get a Visual C++ Standard Edition? i read MS's comparision with prof. edition. i just dont sure missing of an optimized compiler whether a problem or not.!
any help?
thanks,
jim

Both the Standard version and the Professional version support C++, C#, VB.Net and J#. The key is that the Professional version boasts a more advanced compiler that has more options and can be made to produce more efficient/smaller/optimized code targeting a certain platform.
Unless you're doing applications that are extremely heavy (such as CRM or large-database applications, programs such as the SAP/R3), then the Standard version will suit you just fine. The advantages of the Professional version also come in handy when the code contains huge amounts of iterations, loops, recursions or similar procedures.

Hi
Could someone point me to some online material about C++ global consts? I need to know in what order are they initialized, where they are stored, etc. For example, in my current program, I use a string defined as:
const char *const A_STRING = "abcdef";
This string is defined in a header file that is included in many other files. The code compiles and links OK, but if I changed the definition to:
const char* A_STRING = "abcdef";
the linker complains that A_STRING was multiply defined.
Thanks!

You probly shouldn't use global constants and C++ in the same sentence - it is a travesty to behold. But, if you need to - stick a static keyword in front of the const.

Hi
Thanks for the reply. I am just curious, why's global constants such a travesty in C++? I always thought they're the preferred replacements for #define preprocessor? What's the advantage that I gain by defining them as static? Thanks!

Because he once read that globals where bad and doesn't really understand why.
There is nothing wrong with global constants. As you noted, they are the repacement of #define.

2nd on that! I always prefer static const globals over #defines as they are type-checked and that is solid ground for morally sound C++ coding.

Maybe I was a bit harsh there, but under the princliple of OOP you are supposed to encapslate everything including const data. This is a purist's view, so don't take any mind if you approaching it from a practical standpoint. static will ensure that the data is instantiated in the data segment of your software, rather than on the heap or stack. That goes back to your question on when it is created.

Indrawati wrote:
const char* A_STRING = "abcdef";
This defines a variable that is a pointer to a constant string. The pointer can be changed to point to different locations, but the value at that location can't be changed. So in effect, it's not really a constant at all. The compiler complains because you've got a multiply-initialised variable defined in multiple files.
Indrawati wrote:
const char *const A_STRING = "abcdef";
This truly is constant, so the compiler can safely optimise it out and prevent multiple definitions.
As was said above, adding static to the front of the definition will prevent the multiple-definition problem.

HI
I am writing a DLL in which i am creating a thread like this:
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) BOOL ReadCard(char *pData)
{
if(g_hPort == NULL)
{
strcpy(pData,"COM port is not opened");
return false;
}
g_hThreadRead = CreateThread(NULL, 0, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)ThreadFunc, 0, 0 ,&dwThreadID);
return true;
}
This create thread function is suppose to go to ThreadFunc() but it is not going . can any body give me some suggestion why it is not going to ThreadFunc()
DWORD WINAPI ThreadFunc(LPVOID pData)
{
BOOL bSuccess = TRUE;
while(1)
{
int index = 0;
// Clear the dara buffer first.
memset(g_strResult,0x00,500);
if ( l_bTaskAbort )
{
Disconnect();
return(false);
}
//if card is seated
// Ask the user to remove the card
// if the card is removed then read the data
if(GetCardData())
{
//MyMSR_ShowResult(0);
strcpy((char*)pData,g_strResult);
break;
}
}
return bSuccess;
}
Thanks in advance

Why aren't you checking the return value from CreateThread? If a NULL is returned, GetLastError will return information on why it failed. It can't hurt to try that.
Also, try to avoid using (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE) cast. If you can't use the routine name without the cast, then chances are your routine is declared wrong and the thread might fail in strange ways.

I Checked the returned value from CreateThread, it is a handle to the thread but it is not going to the function. Also i Called the GetLastError() after the createthread() function it is returning zero.
Any more suggestions...
Thanks
