Thanks. I changed to
void drop(char v[]) { val[0] = v; }
But now I get this error -> cannot convert from 'char []' to 'char [50]'.
What should I do?

you cannot copy array to another array just using assignment statement, you need to copy element by element using either memcpy, strcpy(if it is null terminated char string).
may be you can change prototype as
void drop(const char v[], int nSize )
{
memcpy(&val[0][0], v, nSize);
}
or if the array always has null terminated string
void drop(const char v[])
{
strcpy(&val[0][0], v);
}

Thanks.
void drop(const char v[]) { strcpy(&val[i][50], v); } seemed to have worked.
I can compile the component now. The left most index should be the index to store the string and the right index is the maximum characters (including null char), right?

where is this "i" declared.

strcpy() first parameter is the destination buffers start address, if you specify like "&val[i][50]" the address is ith row 50th element, it starts copying the string from v to end of the row, you need to set the start address as &val[i][0] beginning of the ith row. strcpy doesnot bother about the size of first parameter it copies all the element from second parameter upto the null terminator charater to the buffer whose start address is specified in first parameter. These are basics you may need to learn from C books about pointers, arrays

I see. Thanks for your help.

I can return a passed string with this:
const char *drop(const char *v) { return v; }
But how I can put the passed string into the first index of my array char val[100][50];.
Thanks.

Hello,
Let's say I have a window created bu external application and I know handle to that window. I need to find control on the dialog with specified class name. So, I know the handle of the dialog which contains the control and I know class name of the control. How can I find it?
One possible way I'm thinking of is enumerating all controls on the form using GetNextWindow and checking control's class using GetClassName function.
Am I on the right track? Is there any better/easier way to do it?
Sorry if my question is stupid, I'm not experienced in Visual c++
Thanks.

How about FindWindowEx()?

Thanks, I'll try it. As I have practically no experience in win api, I was not sure whether it would find control or not.
Thanks again.

I would use EnumChildWindows and check for the ctrlID for each Child Window using GetDlgCtrlID. The Ctrl ID will be unique and won't change.

Well, it seems you already knew about EnumChildWindows and even how to invoke it from C#:

GetDlgCtrlID returns int, how would you check for class name?

I assumed you were just trying to locate a specific control, and using the classname for that purpose. If you're just looking for any control of a certain class, then of course you can use GetClassName.
Why would you think to use GetNextWindow as opposed to EnumChildWindows?

Yes, I'm trying to locate a specific control but I won't know its id in advance, I'll only know its class name.

I just forgot about EnumChildWindows. Should I prefer it to GetNextWindow? Is there any significant difference between them?

You can get the control ID with Spy++, or I imagine lots of other utilities as well. If you know enough about the application, then I guess the classname would suffice (also a unique control ID is just convention, and not something that's enforced.)
Giorgi Dalakishvili wrote: I just forgot about EnumChildWindows. Should I prefer it to GetNextWindow? Is there any significant difference between them?
You mentioned it three days ago in the C# thread, and even supplied the msdn link. AS far as differences, to me its just more compact than calling GetWindow or GetNextWindow in a loop. Also, the documentation says,
"[EnumChildWindows] is more reliable than calling the GetWindow function in a loop. An application that calls GetWindow to perform this task risks being caught in an infinite loop or referencing a handle to a window that has been destroyed. "
EnumChildWindows does actually return all descendants of a given window and not just immediate children.

In this case, FindWindowEx() should be best for you. Because, you just don't need an enumerated list of all the child windows of the dialog. FindWindowsEx() will just return a handle which pinpoints at the control of your interest.

Hi Giorgi,
I chose the Start-->>Run dialog. I then found out the handle of the Run dialog window with Spy++ (You said that you will know it in your case). I am trying to find the OK button with code, using FindWindowEx(). And this small program works for me:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "CPConsole.h"
#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#endif
CWinApp theApp;
using namespace std;
int _tmain(int argc, TCHAR* argv[], TCHAR* envp[])
{
int nRetCode = 0;
if (!AfxWinInit(::GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL, ::GetCommandLine(), 0))
{
_tprintf(_T("Fatal Error: MFC initialization failed\n"));
nRetCode = 1;
}
else
{
<font color="brick">HWND hTarget = FindWindowEx((HWND)0x010403CE,
NULL,
_T("Button"),
_T("OK"));
if(hTarget)
AfxMessageBox(_T("OK button was found"));
else
AfxMessageBox(_T("Unable to find the OK button"));</font>
}
return nRetCode;
}

A rich edit returns an IRichEditOle interface ptr via EM_GETOLEINTERFACE. Then, you can call IRichEditOle::GetObject( LONG n, REOBJECT* reobj, DWORD flags) to retrieve the REOBJECT for some image in the richedit. Does anyone know how to modify that reobject. Specifically I want to change the dwUser field. The following does not work:
REOBJECT reobj = {sizeof(reobj)};
pRichEditOle->GetObject(0,&reobj,REO_GETOBJ_ALL_INTERFACES);
CHARRANGE cr = {reobj.cp,reobj.cp};
SendMessage(hwnd,EM_EXSETSEL,0,(LPARAM)&cr);
reobj.cp = REO_CP_SELECTION;
reobj.dwUser = n;
pRichEditOle->InsertObject(&reobj);

This is more of an observation than a question.
I have a dll and an exe that uses the dll exports. I export classes from the dll using __declspec(dllexport) (the usual #define SOMENAME that takes care of __declspec(dllexport) and __declspec(dllimport)). I have a template class in the dll. When the class has the __declspec(dllexport)/__declspec(dllimport) attribute, I get a LNK2019 error when i build the exe with all the linker switches appropriately set. I make the class methods inline by implementing them in the header file, still LNK2019. I leave the methods inline and remove the __declspec(dllexport)/__declspec(dllimport) attribute and voila, LNK2019 gone and I can use the class in the exe. I should not be able to use the class in the exe, unless I use one of the export methods, BUT IT WORKS.
I actually reproduced this behaviour and still can't find the docs that say 'DO NOT DECORATE TEMPLATE CLASSES WITH __declspec(dllexport)/__declspec(dllimport) ATTRIBUTE'.
Here's an example:
mydll.h
#ifdef MY_DLL_NAME
#define DLL_EXPORTS __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define DLL_EXPORTS __declspec(dllimport)
#endif
template<typename T>
class DLL_EXPORTS MyDllClass
{
public:
MyDllClass(){}
public:
~MyDllClass(){}
};
myexe.h
#include "mydll.h"
class MyExeClass
{
public:
MyExeClass(){}
public:
~MyExeClass(){}
public:
VOID MyExeFunc()
{
MyDllClass<Someclass> var;
}
};
Is this behaviour expected? Is it documented?

I don't know how to fix your problem with __declspec but the link error goes away when you don't __declspec and do inline because the code now resides in the EXE not in the DLL. The inline has asked the compiler to compile the code into the current compilation unit which is the EXE's source file. The compiler has obviously honored your inline request (it has the option not to). Since the compiled code is now in the EXE (not the DLL), the linker can find it successfully. If you change your DLL implementation, the EXE will not be using the new implementation since it has its own copy of the code compiled into itself.

I appreciate your point and totally agree with it, but following the rules, no function or class in a dll (not static library) would be available to any other application or other dll, if ,and unless if, the function or class is exported using either of the two exporting methods available. In my case, the class is not exported but is available to my exe.

Maybe the inconsistency is in your thoughts:
Do you really think a DLL can export a template class (without specializations)?

Hi, folks!
I've built a library file, but it does not seems to have all of what I want in it. How can I view what function names are exported from my library?
TIA!
