I appear to have gotten somewhere...
By changing the adapter parameter from D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT to 1, in the CreateDevice, it seems to work much better (although still a bit more CPU than if on the primary).
I'm not sure I totally understand that though, since the CreateDevice is done on the preview window on the primary display, and the additional swapchain is what handles the secondary monitor...
Since the MultiVMR9 DLL is so complex, I think I'm gonna have a stab at writing my own custom A/P, and just incorporating it into my app, as opposed to using their DLL.
If I get it working well, I'll post it here as an article, so hopefully nobody else will have to go through this tangled mess

Again I use custom renderers implemented using GDI so the Direct3D stuff is vague to me
Did you mention, are you using 1 video adapter or 2?
I guess it's obvious the CPU is doing a bunch of work that normally the DirectX-enabled video
processor handles...
Also, are you actually mixing two streams into one VMR or just using multiple VMRs (I'm unclear
how you are using MultiVMR9 dll)?
For my software, I needed multiple viewers of individual media streams (filter graphs).
My solution was to create my own render filters (I use two - one for actual rendering, and one
is more of a framegrabber but implemented as a renderer filter so it completes a filter graph).
For each graph, I implemented it kind of like sockets (I call 'em video sockets).
The graph is built and run using the dumb renderer sitting on an infinite tee. I do that so the
graph can be running already when I attach viewers.
Each time I need a new viewer I just connect an instance of my renderer to the infinite tee
(kinda like a socket). I added a callback to the renderer so I can get a look at every frame
before it's displayed and perhaps mix something (or draw on) with the frame.
The rendering is done with simple old GDI.
The performance is great. With only one graph per stream, the CPU usage is whatever it takes to
capture and move frames given the frame rate and frame size. Adding more views doesn't add
any noticeable CPU (I test this every once in a while - open 20 or 30 video windows on multiple
monitors LOL).
Good luck - I'll look forward to the article!

Hi there,
Consider you have a socket connected through an IP:port from server 1 (ip:port) to server 2(different ip:port (differenet out side ip)) if the IP address of server 2 is changed for some reason, what would happen to socket connection between two servers. the application that uses the socket connection from server 1 to server 2 is running whole time but server 2 is located in a place that the ip changes every hour. what happens to the socket connection?
Regards,

Hi,
Connection is disconnected because socket (address and port) is not valid any longer.

This is what I think but I have a colleague that says when the conncetion between two server is up throgh a socket, even though the ip changes for one server the connection should be there. And any new connection should use the new ip address not the one that is already there.

I just tried changing the IP on a LAN and the TCP/IP connection dropped.

Hi,
I am having a CDBException in my code which access sql server databse from VC6.
CDatabase pData;
CString strConnectionStr="Driver={SQL Server}; Server=local;Database=Northwind; UID=sa; PWD=sa;";
CString strSqlQuery=" update Employees set city='LondonUK' where city='london'";
try
{
pData.Open(NULL,false,false,strConnectionStr);
}
catch(CDBException* dbExcep)
{
dbExcep->ReportError();
return 0;
}
try
{
pData.ExecuteSQL(strSqlQuery);
}
catch(CDBException* dbExcep)
{
AfxMessageBox(dbExcep->m_strError);
switch( dbExcep->m_nRetCode)
{
case AFX_SQL_ERROR_API_CONFORMANCE :
AfxMessageBox("AFX_SQL_ERROR_API_CONFORMANCE");
break;
case AFX_SQL_ERROR_CONNECT_FAIL:
AfxMessageBox("Connection to the data source failed");
break;
case SQL_INVALID_HANDLE:
AfxMessageBox("Sql invalid handle");
break;
default :
AfxMessageBox("no result");
}
return 0;
}
in switch, result is SQL_INVALID_HANDLE.
Plz tell me where is the problem.

What is the error message? I see you display one of te strings in a messagebox.
What's the message?
Try adding this to your catch block and see the error details...
TRACE(_T("** %s \n"), dbExcep->m_strError);
TRACE(_T("** %s \n"), dbExcep->m_strStateNativeOrigin);
Also don't forget to delete the exception object
dbExcep->Delete();

Hi,
Thanx mark for your reply.
Mark there is no error msg , both strings are empty, i have checked them after debugging too. I can determine the error only from dbExcep->m_nRetCode in switch statement, which shows this msg.
case SQL_INVALID_HANDLE:
AfxMessageBox("Sql invalid handle");
break;
One important thing is that I recieve a "Debug assertion failed" when i try to delete dbExcep on this line.
<br />
delete dbExcep;<br />

Hi,
I have solved the problem by using CDatabase::OpenEx(strCon).
Thanx to all who participated in this thread.

No Sure though , try modifying this to,
CString strSqlQuery=" update Employees set city= \"LondonUK\" where city=\"london\"";

In fact it doesn't seem to be problem. But this particular error comes due to programming error,as MSDN indicates.

Hi,
Parasad thanx for your reply.
I have tested the same query on an Access database with connection string for access.I am sure that this query is ok bcoz i have tested it in Query analyzer for SQL Server too.
Best regards,

i able to do upto ascii(127) i.e. 7 bit but not 8th bit. can any one help how to do so.
i am also looking solution for ascii to unicode.

I don't know what you are trying to do but it looks like you are using a char instead of an unsigned char. A char is signed so it goes up to 127 and not 255.

hi,
thank you very much to reply so fast.
i am from india, i have created keyboard hook for changing the keyboard's key's from
say 'a' to 'b' so, i am able to get 'b' when i press key 'a' of my keyboard.
I am able to do this by changing the vitrual keycode in my hook procedure.
so i want now is that i should get a font's symbol at 235 but i am not able to get the
virtual key code for ascii 235.
thanks,
Viral

Well, you don't provide a lot of information do you ? Did you check what I said in my previous post ? Can you post the code because it is impossible what you did wrong by just guessing it.

Hi all,
Its a simple console application to calculate quotation. Well its working fine but problem i am facing is i want to store the quotation to the file everytime when entered and also i want the text file to be displayed as output with all the entries made in past....
This structure should contain all the customer record details ..
struct Quotes
{
int QuoteNumber;
char Name[20];
int DeliveryCost;
int CarpetCost;
short Guarantee;
};
The below functtion displays final output(quotation) for the user who just entered his details...
void DisplayRecord(int QuoteNum, char Name[], float Cost, float DeliveryCharge, int GuaranteePeriod )
{
cout << setfill(' ')
<< setw(7) << QuoteNum << " | "
<< setw(NAME_COL_WIDTH) << Name << " | "
<< setw(1) << POUND_SIGN << setw(COST_COL_WIDTH-4) << Cost << " | "
<< setw(1) << POUND_SIGN << setw(DELIVERY_COL_WIDTH-4) << DeliveryCharge << " | "
<< setw(1) << POUND_SIGN << setw(TOTAL_COL_WIDTH-1) << Cost + DeliveryCharge << " | "
<< setw(7) << "Years: " << setw(GUARANTEE_COL_WIDTH) << GuaranteePeriod << " | "
<< endl;
}
Now there is a file containing quotation of previous customers, and i can access all the data through below mentioned coding...
But the problem is that i am unable to include this peace of code with rest of the program.
At present, user enter details and he recieves output of the total cost n all and nothing else happens...now i want the details to be stored to the text file and also it can be displayed frm the stored text file as output...
InFile.open("Quotes.txt", ios::in);
if(InFile.is_open())
{
while(!InFile.eof())
{
InFile.getline(Buffer, BUFF_LEN);
Customer[CustNum].QuoteNumber = atoi(Buffer);
InFile.getline(Buffer, BUFF_LEN);
strcpy(Customer[CustNum].Name, Buffer);
InFile.getline(Buffer, BUFF_LEN);
Customer[CustNum].DeliveryCost = atoi(Buffer);
InFile.getline(Buffer, BUFF_LEN);
Customer[CustNum].CarpetCost = atoi(Buffer);
InFile.getline(Buffer, BUFF_LEN);
Customer[CustNum].Guarantee = atoi(Buffer);
CustNum++;
}
}
Can any one help me out in this. I have not written code for storing data to text file yet but once ill get the above problem working i.e. to read the past entries frm text file as output, then i would continue further.
the text file format is exactly like structure created i.e.
QuoteNumber
Name
DeliveryCost
CarpetCost
Guarantee
Any or all help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks a lot for giving your valuable time to this thread...

Why not use the ReadFile function instead?
BOOL ReadFile(
HANDLE hFile,
LPVOID lpBuffer,
DWORD nNumberOfBytesToRead,
LPDWORD lpNumberOfBytesRead,
LPOVERLAPPED lpOverlapped
);
I.E.
HANDLE hFile;
char buffer[BUFSIZE];
DWORD dwBytesWritten;
BOOL fSuccess;
hFile = CreateFile(TEXT("C:\\test.txt"),
GENERIC_WRITE,
0,
NULL,
CREATE_ALWAYS,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
NULL);
fSuccess = ReadFile(hFile,
buffer,
strlen(buffer)+1,
&dwBytesWritten,
NULL);
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365467.aspx[^]
When you have all the data in the lpBuffer you can add it to each structure variable.
This is just a suggestion ....

Heh! Leave it to Microsoft to have an API called ReadFile that reads from a file opened for
writing.
Oh wait...maybe that was a typo

I did some coding in VC++ to detect a device connected to the PC.
I used the sample coding from this siteitself...
LRESULT CHWDetectDlg::OnMyDeviceChange(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
....
....
if ( DBT_DEVICEARRIVAL == wParam || DBT_DEVICEREMOVECOMPLETE == wParam ) {
PDEV_BROADCAST_HDR pHdr = (PDEV_BROADCAST_HDR)lParam;
switch( pHdr->dbch_devicetype ) {
case DBT_DEVTYP_DEVICEINTERFACE:
PDEV_BROADCAST_DEVICEINTERFACE pDevInf = (PDEV_BROADCAST_DEVICEINTERFACE)pHdr;
UpdateDevice(pDevInf, wParam);
break;
....
....
}
Here in this code wParam should contain either DBT_DEVICEARRIVAL or
DBT_DEVICEREMOVECOMPLETE ...
But it contains DBT_DEVNODES_CHANGED i.e it is detecting there is some device node changes when any device is inserted or removed..
But i want to know whether it is inserted or removed so that it will go into theloop in the above code...
How to proceed...
Waiting for suggestions..
