Active X Control Error

Hi,

I have build an ACTIVEX control using Visula Basic and i had taste it perfectly with Visual Basic Project But when I am trying to use it in VC++, It displays & functioning perfectly.
The ACTIVEX control consists of Directory Listbox and File Listbox.
Now, I want to access the value that user is selecting in ACTIVE X control in VC++ for further processing. For that I have created the Control Variable using ClassWizard that automatically create OCX header & Source files to access the OCX GET & LET properties.
I had created object of the OCX file and trying to call the Get Property.
My code snippet as below...

C_ocxFileExplorer objOcx;
objOcx.GetDirName();

It calls the function in _ocxfileExplorer.cpp as given below...

CString C_ocxFileExplorer::GetDirName()
{
CString result;
InvokeHelper(0x68030001, DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET, VT_BSTR, (void*)&result, NULL);
return result;
}

Now the problem is here.... I am getting an error in InvokeHelper function and when I am trying to Debug it...it shows me that ...

ASSERT(m_pCtrlSite != NULL); // not an OLE control (not yet, at least)

in WINOCC.cpp.

I will be very thanksful if anyone guide me...or any other idea to solve the problem.

Thanks in advance

SetGraphicsMode bug? Please try this code

I am trying to figure out if this is a computer problem or a (another) bug in Windows. My ultimate goal is to print a mirror image of a calibration tape using SetWorldTransform. Displayed output is fine, but when printed, all text is simpy rendered upside-down. Simply calling SetGraphicsMode without any transforms causes the same bug! Can someone create a simple SDI app and past this code into the OnDraw function. You will get a triangle and the word 'test' displayed. Now do a print preview. Is the word 'test' now shown upside-down?
TIA

HELP! Winsock problem about the select function...

hi, guys,

In my current Winsock-based TCP program, on the client side, after I send my request data packet to the Server side using the send socket function, I attempt to get the socket status to see if it has something to read using the select function, and the select function always return 0 meaning the time limit expired on some users' computers, but it's just fine on another users' computers.

Why? Does anybody can tell me why and how to fix it? Thanks!

here's the code...

//...
SOCKET sckClient = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);

int nOne = 1;
setsockopt(sckClient, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, (char *)&nOne, sizeof(int)); // just_say_no

struct sockaddr_in addr_to = { 0 };
//...
connect(sckClient, (struct sockaddr *)&addr_to, sizeof(addr_to));

char *buf;
//...
send(sckClient, (const char *)((char*)buf), nDataToSend, 0);

int nRetCode = ::select((int)sckClient + 1, &fdsRead, NULL, NULL, &tvTimeOut);
if (nRetCode==0 )
{ //ERROR: the time limit expired
//Here's the problem! some computers meet the error, but some don't! WHY???
}

recv(sckClient,(char *)buf,nDataToRead, 0);

//...

Use of ASCII seperators for Windows 98 systems

10-Jun-04 1:49

Hi guys,

I'm looking for some ASCII characters that can be used as some sort of separator delimiters. For example, I have few string fields I'd concatenate into one long string and put into CListBox. Then I'd need to be able to retrieve the string and break them up back to original fields. So ideally, those separators should be invisible on the display.

(S)Hi, The(E)(S) Code (E)(S)Project is Cool!(E)

would display as

Hi, The Code project is Cool!

where (S) is invisible start delimiter and (E) is the end delimiter.

I tried "Unit Separator" and "Record Separator" (0x1F and 0x1E respectively), they work fine in Windows XP, where these are not displayed. However, when I moved the app to Windows 98, they are shown visibly as rectangle blocks.

I'm wondering if the difference is due to the uses of unicode and not.

If so, are there any ASCII I can use for my purpose?

Thanks alot!

There are no characters you can use for non-UNICODE, the ANSI-fonts are supposed to show a "dummy"-character for codes they don't define. So, yes, you are right, this is a question of UNICODE and non-UNICODE Smile | :)

What I would have done would be to create an owner-drawn listbox (which is not at all difficult once you've done it once or twice, if you hesitate). There, I would have split the strings according to some of me defined delimiter.

Thanks alot Johan,

I'm trying to think very hard to how Owner Draw on CListCtrl (it's actually CCtrlList I'm using) can help me. But you were right. Since I haven't done this before, I have trouble to figure out a way. I'd really appreciate some hints here Smile | :)

Do you mean that I could somehow display the string and "hide" those delimiters? My understanding to Owner Draw is being able to draw images and customise text. I don't really know how it can help in my case.

Thanks again

Consider a listbox containing the string

Alpha|beta

In a draw handler, we get the string, and want to use the bar as a delimiter.

// str contains the current line we are drawing

CString left;
CString right;
int found = str.Find( _TCHAR( "|" );
if( found != -1 )
{
  left = str.Left( find );
  right = str.Right( str.GetLength() - ( found + 1 ) );

  // Now we can draw left and right to screen, delimited
  // a line or another character or just some spacing

  dc->TextOut( left, ... // will contain "Alpha"
  dc->TextOut( right, ... // will contain "Beta"

}

You might want to check the articles in http://www.codeproject.com/listctrl/[^], I notice that the very first one discusses owner-drawing.

Thanks again, Johan,

As I understand, it is to use the Owner Draw to customise the display of the text on list box. In your example, the text Alpha|beta can get shown as Alpha beta. And so supposedly, when I retrieve the text from the list box using GetText(), it should still return Alpha|beta? The actual content is not changed, just displayed differently on screen? Is it how this works?

Thanks.

Better to use lstrcpyn to avoid buffer overflows

lstrcpyn(chBuffer, "abcdefghijklmnop", sizeof(chBuffer) -1 ) ;

Resize button on IE toolbar

Hans Ruck10-Jun-04 1:08

Hans Ruck

10-Jun-04 1:08

I'm trying to add two buttons on an IE toolbar and then to resize the first one:

TBBUTTON Button[2];
ZeroMemory((void *)Button, 2*sizeof(TBBUTTON));

Button[1].idCommand = IDM_SECOND;
Button[1].fsState = TBSTATE_ENABLED;
Button[1].fsStyle = BTNS_BUTTON | BTNS_AUTOSIZE | BTNS_SHOWTEXT;
SendMessage(m_hWnd, TB_INSERTBUTTON, 0, (LPARAM)(Button+1));   // success

Button[0].idCommand = IDM_FIRST;
Button[0].fsState = TBSTATE_ENABLED;
Button[0].fsStyle = BTNS_BUTTON | BTNS_AUTOSIZE;

SendMessage(m_hWnd, TB_INSERTBUTTON, 0, (LPARAM)Button);   // success

TBBUTTONINFO tbbut;
tbbut.cbSize=sizeof(TBBUTTONINFO);
tbbut.cx=200;
tbbut.dwMask=TBIF_SIZE;

SendMessage(m_hWnd, TB_SETBUTTONINFO, IDM_FIRST, (LPARAM)&tbbut));   // no effect

but it seems that the last line doesn't have any effect at all. Replacing there IDM_FIRST with IDM_SECOND will, on the other hand, correctly resize the second button Confused | :confused:

Any advice?

Of the 21 posts that you have made to date, only four of those have been replied to by Mr.Prakash. Of those four, I've not found any that I would consider rude. Perhaps you have extremely thin skin, or your definition of rude differs from mine. I suspect it's just a language barrier issue.

Update Edit Box text

clatten10-Jun-04 0:08

10-Jun-04 0:08

I'm not much of C++ programmer but am just putting together a very simple Dialog in Visual C++ 6.0.

It's one button and two Edit Boxes. From the first I get user input and the second I use for user feedback.

To the press button message handler I have added a function that is looping and for each loop I'd like to update the message in the second Edit Box.

The code looks something like this:

void CAppGUIDlg::OnButton1()
{
CAppGUIDlg::DoSomething();
}

void CAppGUIDlg::DoSomething()
{
int *string;
int max;
char *tmpStr = "";
int total = 0;

max = atoi(m_editStr1); //Get Edit Box 1 value

while (total < max )
{
//Do something with value from Edit Box 1
sprintf(tmpStr,"User message %i", total/1024);
UpdateData(false);
m_editStr2 = _T(tmpStr); //feedback the result to Edit Box2
Sleep(200);
UpdateData(false);
}
}

What will happen is that Edit Box 2 will not be updated until the loop is finished. Is there a simple way to update it within every loop?

Re: Update Edit Box text

Diddy10-Jun-04 1:13

Diddy

Either:

Do each thing in a different thread.

Or (more simply for this case)

Pump messages in your loop.

Change your loop to:
while (total < max )
{
//Do something with value from Edit Box 1
sprintf(tmpStr,"User message %i", total/1024);
UpdateData(false);
if(!PeekAndPump())
break;
m_editStr2 = _T(tmpStr); //feedback the result to Edit Box2
Sleep(200);
UpdateData(false);
}

Then add this function to your class:

BOOL PeekAndPump()
{
MSG dlgMsg;
if (::PeekMessage (&dlgMsg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_NOREMOVE))
{
if (!AfxGetApp ()->PumpMessage ())
{
::AfxPostQuitMessage (0);
return FALSE;
}
return TRUE;
}

LONG lIdle = 0;
while (AfxGetApp ()->OnIdle (lIdle++));
return FALSE;
}
