What's happening is that since argc < 3, your program displays the usage message and exits.
Right click on the icon of the execuatble in explorer. You should get a properties tab window. Select the "Program" tab. There will be an edit box where you are supposed to enter the full command line. If you have any arguments you should append those arguments to the full path of the executable.
Eg:- C:\abc\myexe.exe file1.txt file2.txt /r:100

Thanks for the help, I'm gonna try that out now.

Hey Nish,I'm still getting problems with this icon. When I right click on it I get the general properties only and nothing else. The check box is set to archive and there are no other tabs so I can't change the path name.
Any other ideas

Are you reading from a file, assuming it is in the same directory as the exe file? When you run it from windows the current directory might vary.

As an aside, why on *earth* are you using fopen instead of iostreams ?

I'm using fopen becuse its just what I'm used to, it's a school project and, we never learned anything about iosteams.
any ideas about the icon problem, its relly annoying me. When I set the active configurations of an ms-dos project should it be debug or release. Could this make a difference. I don't know what they are for.

If you'll excuse me while I rant for a moment: this is precisely why there are so many bad programmers in the world, bad teachers. Why on EARTH would you teach someone C style file access instead of IOStreams ? Why do people get taught C style string handling instead of std::string ? Why ? Because they are being taught by C programmers trying to use C++ as a better C. It's not just C with classes anymore, and this style of teaching leads to bad coding habits, not to mention being harder to learn. Stroupstrup has said a lot about why C++ should not be taught this way, if only the academic world would catch up and stop teaching 1982 style programming.......

The debug version requires debug versions of the librarys such as MSVCRT, which you most certainly need to fopen, so they will not run on machines that do not have a development environment on them. So you should compile for debug when you're writing the program ( it allows you to break and step through your code, reports memory leaks ( which are far more likely to happen in C than in C++ code ).
Is the problem that the program flashes up and disappears ? Maybe you need to put up a prompt to wait ? I'm sorry, I don't know how that is done in C.

What switches should I specify to link.exe to generate a raw binary?
Also, can dumpbin disassemble a raw binary?
|
|
|
|
|
AFAIK you can only create PE's with link.exe. F.ex. how would you know where the different sections were using a "raw binary"?

Hi
Is it possible to execute a command in a unix server from VC++? I heard it can be done with telnet, but is there class or some library to do?

NT ships with rexec.exe - maybe that would do it...

I am trying to put messages out to the scren such that each line is under the next, causing a scrolling action in the window. I get the messages, but they are to the right of each other, even though I have CR/LF included, as well as WORDBREAK. In reading the function description, I thought the WORDBREAK and the \r\n would cause the output I desire. Can anyone please tell me where I am going wrong?
void CChildView::OnPaint()
{
CPaintDC dc(this); // device context for painting
// TODO: Add your message handler code here
// Do not call CWnd::OnPaint() for painting messages
CRect rect;
char* data = " Dialing xxxxxx\r\n";
CWnd *wnd = dc.GetWindow();
::GetClientRect(wnd->m_hWnd, &rect);
dc.DrawText(data, strlen(data), &rect, DT_WORDBREAK);
dc.SetTextAlign(TA_RIGHT);
// Dialing the Host
pcAny.awConnect("xxxxxx");
rc = pcAny.GetError();
data = " \r\nConnection = ";
dc.DrawText(data, strlen(data), &rect, DT_RIGHT|DT_WORDBREAK);
dc.SetTextAlign(TA_UPDATECP);
dc.DrawText(rc, rc.GetLength(), &rect, DT_RIGHT|DT_WORDBREAK);
dc.SetTextAlign(TA_UPDATECP);
// Getting Status of Connection
rc2 = pcAny.ConnectionStatus();
data = " \r\nConnection Status = ";
dc.DrawText(data, strlen(data), &rect, DT_RIGHT|DT_WORDBREAK);
dc.SetTextAlign(TA_UPDATECP);
itoa(rc2, data, 10);
dc.DrawText(data, strlen(data), &rect, DT_RIGHT|DT_WORDBREAK);
dc.SetTextAlign(TA_UPDATECP);
// Sending the Order(s)
data = " \r\nSending Orders\r\n";
dc.DrawText(data, strlen(data), &rect, DT_RIGHT|DT_WORDBREAK);
dc.SetTextAlign(TA_UPDATECP);
pcAny.FileXferToHost("TESTFILE.TXT","TESTFILE.TXT");
rc = pcAny.GetError();
data = " \r\nSending = ";
dc.DrawText(data, strlen(data), &rect, DT_RIGHT|DT_WORDBREAK);
dc.SetTextAlign(TA_UPDATECP);
dc.DrawText(rc, rc.GetLength(), &rect, DT_RIGHT|DT_WORDBREAK);
dc.SetTextAlign(TA_UPDATECP);
// Getting the New Catalog
data = " \r\nUpdating Catalog\r\n";
dc.DrawText(data, strlen(data), &rect, DT_RIGHT|DT_WORDBREAK);
dc.SetTextAlign(TA_UPDATECP);
pcAny.FileXferFromHost("CATALOG.TXT","CATALOG.TXT");

pcAny.awDisconnect();
delete pcAny;

Only your current x pos will be updated when UPDATECP is set. The y-part will be returned from DrawText() (as a delta value) My guess is you have to do a manual MoveTo() to adjust the height. Not that I know for sure. What I do know for sure is that you only have to call SetTextAlign() once 
|
|
|
|
|
Read that the WORDBREAK will only work when the UPDATECP is not set. Took them all out, but no change. Looks like the fucntion is fail to see the \r\n.  Any other ideas?

If you just want to get the job done, use the CEditView derived from CView to display text. If that's not good enough (i.e. you want to do other drawing aswell), keep with your original ideas, but print just one line at a time, and keep track of the y-value yourself (just increase it with the height of your current font + some additional line spacing.

Hello!
I need to know how to, when I maximize or minimize the size of the window of my program, make all that is inside the client area "maximize(or minimize)" together.
My problem is that I have a program which draws a picture in the client area, but when I maximize the window, the drawing disappears and I have to click a button or something like that in order to make the picture appears again.
I know that what I have to do is something related to the function "BitBlt" (if not or if there is another way, please tell me) and the procedure I must implement is to "take a photograph" of the drawing on the moment the user maximizes the window and then put this photograph onto the screen(which I believe is what "BitBlt" does), but I do not know how to make the code of this whole procedure (I've already tried, but it didn't work very well).
Thanks for any help!!!

Do your drawing in a handler for WM_PAINT (or WM_ERASEBKGND if you prefer). This handler will be called when your window needs a redraw. If you already have code for drawing your picture, move it there.
|
|
|
|
|
Something else that you may want to do besides making your window update the photograph in the WM_PAINT handler, is setting the CS_VREDRAW and CS_HREDRAW flags for your main window, this wil force all of the children to fully repaint whenever the main window is resized.

Hi guys
I had a dialogue box app in VC++6 and then built it in VC++7
it asked me if i wanted to reformat the project and i pressed yes and built it in VC7, all was ok until i tried to run the app on a win98 machine, the CFileDialog would not work on a 98 machine it works on a 2000 machine 
I then got a new app in VC7 and put CFileDialog in it but it worked on a 98 machine

Hello!
I want to read the private key from a
certificate, but I don't know whici API
function do this. Also, as a derived
questions: where are stored private keys
in windows? Which is the location?
Can I read them, and in which conditions?
Are there special API's? (I just vaguely heard
about CryptoAPI.)
Anyone experienced here?
Thanks,
Don Miguel

I do not think that the private key is stored in the certificate, the private key is a secret that only the owner knows about. Do you mean the public key?

Hi,
Im building a single document application and i want to bring up a new dialog box that is a new window, ie. has its own little bar at the bottom of the screen. Can anybody help?
Cheers

I haven't notebook on head but:
If you use VisualC++, you can develop this application imedialitly with
i)File->New...
ii) MFC Application
at this point you follow step to step...
this's your simgle document application...
For viewing a dialog you must write:
CDialog dialog;
dialog.domodal();

You will want to use CreateDialog to create your dialog and make it appear modelessly, if you are using MFC, you can create an instance of your dialog object, then call the Create member, then the ShowWindow member. In order to make sure that it is in the task bar you will need to set the WS_EX_APPWINDOW style for your dialog.
