It may be a bug, but I don't think that you need to SELECT * from the huge table, why do not where something to reduce fetched rows?

try to use mysql_use_result() rather than mysql_store_result() to see if the problem can be fixed.

BTW: mysql_num_rows() is invalid if using mysql_use_result().

int numrows = (int)mysql_num_rows(res);

res is an uninitialised pointer and is probably pointing to some random memory location. If mysql_num_rows() attempts to write anything to the memory pointed by res, the Universe will end.

Why can't you try this instead?

MYSQL-RES res;
...//bunch of stuff
mysql_num_rows(res);

That applies to other pointer variables as well.

sorry

res is an initialised Globel MYSQL_RES *res;

The results will still be the same, won't it be? I do not know if the method that accepts that particular pointer will do a write operation to it, or probably call some method on it if it's a class object.

Either ways, how do you expect an uninitialised pointer to work? Confused | :confused:

Try creating the variable on the stack and use it instead.

sir
my code is working fine when table rows is less than 229000.I am getting error when table rows is more than 229000.
So there is no need to discusses about res is an initialised or uninitialised.Matter is why

mysql_fetch_field(res1);

generating exception if table rows is more than 229000.
Plz help me

did you try to use mysql_use_result() rather than mysql_store_result()?

do you know the difference of the 2 functions? why do not try it?

Getting problem with RegisterShellFileTypes() in MFC Dialog based application. [modified]

i created one dialog based application. In that Dlg App class i am calling RegisterShellFileTypes(), in CWInApp::initInstace.

But application is crashing due to no poniter to document class.
code is like this :

CDesktopWallpaperDlg dlg;
m_pMainWnd = &dlg;

EnableShellOpen();
RegisterShellFileTypes();

INT_PTR nResponse = dlg.DoModal();
if (nResponse == IDOK)
{
    // TODO: Place code here to handle when the dialog is
    //  dismissed with OK
}
else if (nResponse == IDCANCEL)
{
    // TODO: Place code here to handle when the dialog is
    //  dismissed with Cancel
}

so, can anyone tell me what is the problem exactly?

it working with SDI Application..

The problem is precisely what the error message says. RegisterShellFileTypes creates registry entries to associate a document type and file extension with an .exe. If you aren't using the MFC DocView framework, there is no document class and the function call fails.

You can make the same registry entries manually; just because you aren't using the DocView framework doesn't mean you can't associate a file extension with an app, it just takes a bit more code.

when i call this RegisterShellFileTypes() in App Class,
internally in this function defination having pointer of document class.
but dlg based application doesn't have doc class. so that,

pointer is becoming NULL.

void CWinApp::RegisterShellFileTypes(BOOL bCompat)
{
	ASSERT(m_pDocManager != NULL);
	m_pDocManager->RegisterShellFileTypes(bCompat);
}

but,it is working fine with SDI Application.
i have tried in one sample SDI application.

Yeah.... and what does SDI stand for? 'Single Document Interface'. It works in an SDI app because the SDI app has a document class, and fails in your dialog app because it doesn't have a document class.

It seems RegisterShellFileTypes() is to be used with SDI or MDI apps only.

The one that's missing from your project, i.e maybe IWshRuntimeLibrary!

So are you saying that the title of this message "unresolved external symbol public: long __thiscall IWshRuntimeLibrary::IWshShortcut::Save(void)" has been fixed?

no,
IWshRuntimeLibrary::IWshShellPtr raw_CreateShortcut() works fine before the missed link LNK2001.

I think I need to import some dll file, but I don't know which one.

I have looked at MSDN but cannot find a direct reference to this library. I can only suggest you go back to your documentation and recheck the format of the Save() command.

I think you can use GetSystemMetrics() to get screen size and use SetWindoPos() API to change the size of your dialogbox.

I suggest you take a look at this section on CP[^]. It contains some classes that helps you positioning the controls of a window when it is resized.

Isn't this just a matter of calling ShowWindow(SW_MAXIMIZE)?
