    - Printing strings of TCHAR[] into a file Hi, I'm having difficulty printing strings of TCHAR[] arrays into a file using CreateFile & WriteFile. When I try to write TEXT("1234567") to a file using WriteFile, the result looks like this in the file when opened with notepad or wordpad: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 There is a space between every character, which makes sense since I'm using UNICODE character sets, but I don't want it to look like this when I'm writing to a file, is there a way to convert between the two character sets I've been trying to come up with a snippet of code to convert TCHAR into char, but no luck so far as the VC++ won't let me declare a variable length array and won't let me access TCHAR[] array by index. For example, I get a run-time error saying that "Access violation writing location" when I do this: myConvertFunction(TCHAR * str, int lengthOfStr) { char tempStr[lengthOfStr]; // <--------- this causes a compiler error str[1] = str[2]; //<-------------this causes a run-time Access violation error } Does anyone have any ideas for me I just want to be able to print TCHAR in UNICODE set properly into a file so that when viewed in wordpad or notepad that there are not spaces between all the characters.

    - Is it just me? Deleting handlers and functions w/VC2005 impossible OK, I'm completely baffled. I've been a programmer dating back to MSC version 8 for DOS. For the past couple years I've mainly stuck to VC6 because the newer interface is just too full of fluff and non-intutitive for my tastes. But I do have three projects which require either VC2003 or the latest and "greatest" One thing that has caused me to waste the most amount of time believable lately is the simple process of using the form editor in C++ to add a button/control of some time and THEN REMOVE IT CLEANLY when I'm done. Often times a programmer just wants to drop in a control, do a little test and then delete it once he's tested some code snippet. Same thing goes with a message handler. In the VC6 days I could just click on a function in the class view and hit my [DEL] button and poof it was gone/commented out. Now for the life of me I can't figure out how to do the same task in VC7/8 without manually doing a search and deleting lines of code with the editor by hand. With uneditable intellisense, NCB files, CLW files etc. editing my code like this by hand these days seems like a disaster waiting to happen so I'm very reluctant to just chop things happenstance so I want to know the "official proper" way to do it. There has to be a simple way, but all my searching, reading through books and looking for help files has proved fruitless to this point. Anyone know a simple answer to a simple problem Tag: Visual C++ General question about backups and .ncb files Visual C++

    - Exception from Invoke method I'm getting the message "NULLReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when executing the following: if ( this ->mycontrol->InvokeRequired == true ) { this -> mycontrol -> Invoke ( gcnew MethodInvoker ( this ,&myForm::controlDelegate)); } The exception refers to the line that calls the Invoke method. This does not happen consistently . Most of the time there is no exception. Any suggestions Thanks. Paul Tag: Visual C++ General question about backups and .ncb files Visual C++

    - CHttpFile::SendRequest() hangs Hi all, I am using CInternetSession, CHttpConnection and CHttpFile classes to fetch the asp page. The code seems to run fine for the first time, but it hangs on the second call. here is the code i wrote:- Internet session is initialized in the constructor:- m_pSession = new CInternetSession("CHttpHelper"); CHttpConnection* pServer = NULL; CHttpFile* pFile = NULL; CString server; CString object; INTERNET_PORT port; DWORD a; DWORD dwRet; DWORD dwHttpRequestFlags =INTERNET_FLAG_DONT_CACHE; CString Page; char Buffer[512]; AfxParseURL(url, a, server, object, port); pServer = m_pSession->GetHttpConnection(server, port); pFile = pServer->OpenRequest( CHttpConnection::HTTP_VERB_GET, object, NULL, 1, NULL, NULL, dwHttpRequestFlags); if (pFile != NULL) { pFile->SendRequest(); pFile->QueryInfoStatusCode(dwRet); if (dwRet == HTTP_STATUS_OK) { int nCount = 1; while (nCount > 0) { // Read the Page in a String nCount = pFile->Read(Buffer, 511); if (nCount > 0) { Buffer[nCount] = 0; Page += Buffer; } } } } if (pFile != NULL) { pFile->Close(); delete (pFile); pFile=NULL; } if (pServer != NULL) { pServer->Close(); delete (pServer); pServer=NULL; } Thanks in advance. Note:- 1. The code runs fine when i add an AfxMessageBox("Run"); before pFile->SendRequest(). 2. It works fine with local asp page.

    - check for process availability using process-id Hi, I have a problem to check for process availability in a CRT based application. I'm using: pid = _spawnlp (_P_NOWAIT, cmd, buf->data, NULL) to start a background process and need help to check if the initialisation of the process fails. _spawnlp allready return an error if something happen during startup like cmd is missing but i want to wait for ~ 0.1 sec and just check for the pid still exists. the problem is that _cwait is blocking until the process is finished. under unix I'm using: waitpid (pid, NULL, WNOHANG) with: WNOHANG The waitpid() function will not suspend exe- cution of the calling process if status is not immediately available for one of the child processes specified by pid. how can I check I the process still exists with only the pid as argument -> thanks for help mfg Andreas Otto Tag: Visual C++ General question about backups and .ncb files Visual C++

    - how to GET a binary file using winsock 2 Hi. this is my first (second actually after posting it in the wrong forum) post of this forum and I hope to get a response my problem is this: I'm trying to write a program that GETs a file from the HTTP protocol using winsock 2. sending the request is not a problem for me. my problem is receiving binary responses. I can GET a text page BTW. this is the portion of the code that does the receiving: Code Snippet FILE *file; fopen_s(&file , "out.txt" , "wb"); char tempbuf[128]; // Receive until the peer closes the connection while(true) { int retval; retval = recv(ConnectSocket , tempbuf , sizeof(tempbuf)-1 , 0); if (retval == 0) { break; // Connection has been closed } else { tempbuf[retval] = 0; fwrite(tempbuf , 1 , strlen(tempbuf) , file); } } fclose(file); what is that that I'm doing wrong I will provide any extra information neccessery. thanx.

    - Obtaining a memory address of a variable returned by a class member function Hello, I'm having some syntax difficulties. I want to set a pointer to point to a variable like this (CTREEITEM is HTREEITEM* , and GetSelectedItem() returns a HTREEITEM) : Code Snippet CTREEITEM = &pCtrl->GetSelectedItem(); In the past, I've done something similar: Code Snippet pCtrl = &this->GetTreeCtrl(); That worked as expected, but now I'm getting the compile-time error message "C2102: '&' requires l-value".

    - Makefile project linking broken in Visual Studio 2005? In Visual Studio 2003 and earlier, you could make Visual Studio projects link against the output of a makefile project by setting the Output line. In VS2005 this seems to be broken. Is there something you have to do to get this to work One of the projects I have run into has a work around for this issue by making a separate library project with no files in it, that depends on the makefile project. To get the output of the makefile project to link in, it adds the output of the makefile project to the "Additional Dependencies" line in the separate empty library project. Any upstream libraries then need to depend on the empty library project instead of the makefile project. But this means you have to author 2 project files for every external library. Is there a better way to do this in VS2005 Tag: Visual C++ General question about backups and .ncb files Visual C++

    - Deployment and DLLs I want to distribute my program using a Setup.exe installation. I've ran my app through depends.exe and there's countless DLLs that it depends on. How do I determine which ones to distribute with my app I know there's a few that should be on the target machine already (kernel32.dll, user32.dll, etc.) but what about the other 22million DLLs that Dependency Walker is telling me I need, do I really have to ship that many DLLs with my app It seems a bit excessive. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite. Tag: Visual C++ General question about backups and .ncb files Visual C++

The most important issues is TAB navigation and tooltips (running the same usercontrol on a modal WinForm works fine).

    - VS 2005 and Qt QString I am trying to convert a QString to a std: tring using VS 2005 and Qt 4.3.0. There is a function in QString::toStdString( ) that returns a std: tring and I have used this many times when I used VS 2003 and Qt 4.3.0 but I was recently forced to upgrade to VS 2005. Now I have been crashing in a function and I have narrowed it down to this call. I have commented out everything but this one line for code that looks like: Code Snippet std::string sname = selected.toStdString( ); Whenever I try to leave this function that only has one line of executed code (the rest is commented out for debugging purposes) I get a Debug Assertion Failed! error. And inside my function call stack I can see it is dying in dbgheap.c at Line 1963 in _CrtIsValidHeapPointer. Does this mean anything to anyone and if so, can you please help me figure out how to get around this bug. Thanks! Tag: Visual C++ General question about backups and .ncb files Visual C++

    - Reg 64-bit support Hi, I am relatively new to Visual C++ and require your help on this. I have C++ code which is required to run on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. Can I use Visual C++ 2.0 to compile the C++ code or I would need Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 to do this The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_C ++ says that Visual Studio 2005 Standard and Professional editions have x64 compiler support .But currently, I have only Visual C++ 2.0 . Can 64-bit compilation work with 2.0 or I necessarily have to go in for Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Thank you very much in advance!

    - Dictionary<TKey, TVal> subclasses invisible I'm trying to get at the Enumerator of the ValuesCollection of a Dictionary, but the trouble is that the compiler doesn't seem to know these classes exist. Declarations such as the following result in the compiler handing me a C2065 when I try to reference the variables. Code Snippet using namespace System; using namespace System::Collections::Generic; --snip-- Dictionary<TKey, TVal>::ValueCollection::Enumerator ^denum; Dictionary<TKey, TVal>::ValueCollection ^dvc; IntelliSense provides correct menus at each level, and at least for the declaration shows the correct Quick Info, but it doesn't see the Values property of the Dictionary at all, or any of its members. I thought perhaps this was a bug in IntelliSense, so I went ahead and tried compiling it anyway, but that was useless. Is there some setting I might have hit sometime in the past and forgotten about that can cause this What am I missing The workaround is pretty obvious, but it would be nice if this were working as I expect. (Sorry for not posting a real code snippet, but my development machine isn't networked.) Tag: Visual C++ General question about backups and .ncb files Visual C++

    - Draw to screen without using OnPaint() Hi, my (PocketPC) app normally used GAPI but I'm now moving it to DirectX to support WM6. (My app is written in VC++) I have a question: If I wish to clear the screen and draw stuff to it. If I call the below Render function in the OnPaint() function of my dialog everything is fine and dandy: LPDIRECT3DMOBILEDEVICE g_pd3dmDevice = NULL; // My rendering device VOID Render() { if( NULL == g_pd3dmDevice ) return; // Clear the backbuffer to a blue color g_pd3dmDevice->Clear( 0, NULL, D3DMCLEAR_TARGET, D3DMCOLOR_XRGB(0,0,255), 1.0f, 0 ); // Begin the scene if( SUCCEEDED( g_pd3dmDevice->BeginScene() ) ) { // do stuff here blah blah // End the scene g_pd3dmDevice->EndScene(); } // Present the backbuffer contents to the display g_pd3dmDevice->Present( NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL ); } But the problem I'm having is that I have a class that I normally make full screen and then draw stuff in it, like so: m_pFullScreen = new CFullView(); m_pFullScreen ->CreateEx( WS_EX_TOPMOST, AfxRegisterWndClass( CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW, 0, (HBRUSH)COLOR_WINDOW), _T("Full View"), WS_VISIBLE | WS_POPUP, 0,0, GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN), GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN), NULL, NULL); Then I had a function in this class called UpdateDisplay() which used to use GXBeginDraw() etc to draw to screen but now I wish to use the code above in the Render function. It does not work (Nothing is drawn to the screen). If the Render function is called from OnPaint then it works but if there is not an OnPaint() function(Which my CFullScreen class does not have as it is not a dialog) then it does not work Does anyone know how to solve my problem Thanks Harry Tag: Visual C++ General question about backups and .ncb files Visual C++

    - VC++ 2005 redistributable Hi, I'm trying to get an MFC application compiled with VC++ 2005 to run on a machine with VC++ 2005 express. There seems to be a problem with the manifest (which I don't fully understand despite reading the info on msdn). The original error in the event log when I tried to run it said Microsoft.VC80.CRT not installed so I installed the platform SDK and also copied over the atlmfc directory from the development to target machine. I also downloaded the VC++ 2005 redistributable and installed it. When I installed it, I didn't get any confirmation that the installation was successful, the installer appears to quit after displaying the progress bar. Is this the correct behaviour Now I no longer get any messages in the event log but when I try to run the app I get an "Unable to start program ... This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect..." This error occurs both inside Visual Studio and when I run the app directly. I've tried both the debug and release builds (I understand the redist doesn't include the debug libs). Any help appreciated. Jay.

But I can not get mCMyDialog to post the WM_QUIT message to this thread. It will only post it to the main thread that created this thread.

    - Consume Web Services via C++? Hi, my current project requires me to access web services provided by a mail archiver from C++. I've done some research but am still not sure if there exists a "proper" way of doing this. Shall I choose SoapToolkit or manually formatting Soap messages in XML I was imagining that there may be some tool like WSDL which automatically generates proxy code given a wsdl description. But this is only available for managed code right Can anybody give me some suggestions Thanks. Tag: Visual C++ General question about backups and .ncb files Visual C++

    - Link 'msvcirt.lib' in a VS C++ 2005 project Hi, I am trying to produce a C++ project in VS 2000 IDE. The project consists dozens of libaries, some of which are tthird-part code, and I belive, were produced with previous VS versions. In the link stage, a problem that is the 'msvcirt.lib' can not be found comes up. I wonder if there is any way to avoid using the msvcirt.lib, or to update the libraries that ask for the including of the system library without buying the newer version of the thrid-party libraries. I don't have the source code. Do anyone know a solution to the problem Thanks, Jason Tag: Visual C++ General question about backups and .ncb files Visual C++

    - OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog crashes windows application I built a simple windows application in C++ with the .NET framework (using Visual Studio .NET 2005). The application used to run fine (it opens the OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog properly), but after I added more (unrelated) features, when the application tries to display an OpenFileDialog or a SaveFileDialog, the application closes abruptly on another computer with no warning message , not even that annoying warning beep sound. However, the application "sometimes" ran properly for the computer on which the application was compiled. By "sometimes" I mean for some builds of the application. Builds of my application that crashes does so consistently. Some more description: In earlier builds of my program, displaying the dialogs itself does not cause the application to crash. Instead, the application, crashes when the dropdown menu used to select the drive/directory is clicked. I haven't done anything fancy to the dialogs, and I've only added more textboxes and other simple controls to the application before the dialogs started cause the application to crash.

    - need a help regarding dwmapi.dll and DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea function Dear All, My compiled code asking dwmapi.dll, which is nowhere to find on my windows XP box. using dependency walker, it reports that the "c:\windows\system32\urlmon.dll" is looking for this dll, and the function name is DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea. I searched internet, and some people say that the IE7 is making this problem. and I am kind of agree, and I have it on my machine. So I need this dll badly, or somebody can give me a way to un-install IE7 quickly Thanks a lot. rcen Tag: Visual C++ General question about backups and .ncb files Visual C++

I wanted to make some backups from my source but the portable backup device has limited space and copying needs long.

In order to save some space I wrote a script which will delete all folders with name Debug or Relesae. I think I don`t need that folders because I can recompile my source.

What about .ncb files Them are quite big. I think them have basically just some informations which speed up reloading the project. If I delete them I need more time starting my project the next time, but no informations are lost forever. Is this correct

Re: Visual C++ General question about backups and .ncb files

Ed Dore

Correct. NCB files are built on demand, by the C++ language service (the component that provides intellisense support, and populates the classview toolwindow). It's usually best to not include the .NCB files in your backups, or in your source code control system, because these files can sometimes be dependent upon how a particular machine was set up. (version of the SDK headers can impact what is built into these).

While it might take a bit of time to regenerate the .NCB for larger projects, the C++ language service will do so on a background thread, and shouldn't be too noticible, unless your waiting for the classview to get populated for some reason.

Sincerely,

Top
