USB-Serial adpater and normal serial communication

Hi friends,

I have an application built using VC++ 6.0 .
In these we incorporate serial communication using
rs-232 serial port and also thru USB-Serial adapater

Now ny requirement is to put a small delay only when
the application runs thru USB-Serial not when normal serial
communication is used to run the application.

These delay is have to do since the data transfer
thru USB-Serial is faster as compared to normal serial

Now can u please tell me how to find whether the application
is running thru USB-Serial or Normal Serial port.

Why do you need to do such a thing ? Confused | :confused:

That sounds very strange. Your applications (on both sides) should never be dependent on the time needed to transmit the data on the link (it can be unreliable).

Anyway, with windows, you won't be able to have a precision under 10 or 15 msec as windows is not a real-time operating system.

Maybe if you describe more in detail your problem we can help you to find another solution (please, describe it with keeping in mind that we don't know your app and that we cannot see your screen).

Extract the numbers based on tokenizing the string by / . In this way you can get the year, month and day in different strings.
Use CString stt;
stt.Format("%s-%s-%s",strYear,strMonth,strDay);
AfxMessageBox(stt);

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

I think you have created Control variable..
Try the following:

1)Create Value variable

2)Suppose variable name is m_DateTime then

CString strDate=m_DateTime.Format("%Y-%m-%d");

3)strDate is resultant Date.

You can if you think you can

Hi ,

I need to show the IDC_HAND cursor if the mouse moves over a particular subitem. I wrote the follwoing code. But the mouse cursor is not changing.

Any alternative please.

void CList::OnMouseMove(UINT nFlags, CPoint Point)
{
//Get the mouse position
const MSG* pMessage;
pMessage = GetCurrentMessage();
ASSERT(pMessage);
CPoint pt;
pt = pMessage->pt; // get the point from the message

// see if the point falls onto a list item

LVHITTESTINFO lvhitTestInfo;

lvhitTestInfo.pt = pt;

int nItem = m_List.SubItemHitTest(&lvhitTestInfo);
int nSubItem = lvhitTestInfo.iSubItem;
if (nItem >= 0 && lvhitTestInfo.iSubItem > 0)
{
int m_nSubItemHit = lvhitTestInfo.iSubItem;
if ( lvhitTestInfo.iSubItem == 8)
{
SetCursor(hCursor);
} }
}

Thanks
Raji

Why r u taking the mouse point in this method when the point is passed to the function....?

Replace ur code with the below one..

void CList::OnMouseMove(UINT nFlags, CPoint Point) <br />
{<br />
<br />
LVHITTESTINFO lvhitTestInfo;<br />
<br />
lvhitTestInfo.pt = Point;<br />
<br />
int nItem = m_List.SubItemHitTest(&lvhitTestInfo);<br />
int nSubItem = lvhitTestInfo.iSubItem;<br />
if (nItem >= 0 && lvhitTestInfo.iSubItem > 0)<br />
{<br />
int m_nSubItemHit = lvhitTestInfo.iSubItem;<br />
if ( lvhitTestInfo.iSubItem == 8)<br />
{<br />
SetCursor(hCursor); <br />
} }<br />
}

Any solutions please

This is the code that i have used for checking.. This code works correctly..it changes the cursor to IDC_HAND when the mouse is over the subitem number 1.

void MyList::OnMouseMove(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{

static HCURSOR hCursor = LoadCursor( 0, IDC_HAND );
LVHITTESTINFO lvhitTestInfo;
lvhitTestInfo.pt = point;
int nItem = SubItemHitTest(&lvhitTestInfo);
int nSubItem = lvhitTestInfo.iSubItem;
if (nItem >= 0 && lvhitTestInfo.iSubItem > 0)
{
int m_nSubItemHit = lvhitTestInfo.iSubItem;
if ( lvhitTestInfo.iSubItem == 1)
{
SetCursor(hCursor);
}
}

CListCtrl::OnMouseMove(nFlags, point);
}

I think better is to handle the cursor in OnSetCursor... What do you think?

Consider a solution in which you handle the WM_SETCURSOR notification. Within the OnSetCursor handler, obtain the mouse coordinates with GetCursorPos, make a test and call SetCursor to set your cursor, then return TRUE. Otherwise, call the parent OnSetCursor handler and return its value.

Hope it will work.

You forgot to convert the points (pMessage->pt) to client coordinates, because they are in screen coordinates. Smile | :)

Capture it in your CFormView's WM_KEYDOWN and WM_KEYUP.

Derive a class from CEdit and make the object of this class as member variable of the edit control.

Overide the WM_KEYDOWN message in the new class and then u can trap the enter key fro that funtion...

here i have derived a class from the CEdit say EditCtrlEx . Then using the class wizard i mapped the WM_KEYDOWN message( this will create a stub function with name void EditCtrlEx::OnKeyDown( UINT uChar_i, UINT uRepCnt_i, UINT uFlags_i )

inside this write

void EditCtrlEx::OnKeyDown( UINT uChar_i, UINT uRepCnt_i, UINT uFlags_i )
{
CEdit::OnKeyDown( uChar_i, uRepCnt_i, uFlags_i );
if( VK_RETURN == uChar_i )
{
AfxMessageBox( _T("Enter clicked ));
}
}

Remeber to give the Want-Return style to the edit ctrl
