Before we upgraded to Visual C/C++ 7.1, we used version 6.0 of the compiler.
To make it easier for us and our help desk to find problems, we linked our production (release) versions with /DEBUG and /PDB:NONE (but all sources were compiled with /Ox and no debug info).
That way information about the addresses of functions and methods were stored in the executable, ready for Dr.Watson to read them.
This also had the advantage that we could use SymGetSymFromAddr to get the symbol name (of a function) for a function address (handy if you e.g. want to report the stack at the moment of a memory leak).
Unfortunately Visual C/C++ does not have the option /PDB:NONE anymore, which means we cannot put this information int he executable anymore (and our nice feature of printing out the stack when a memory leak was found does not work anymore either).
AAAAAAAAAAAArgh.
Is there another way of storing the function addresses so this info can be read by Dr.Watson and still works with SymGetSymFromAddr (the first one is more urgent), using Visual C/C++ 7.1?
Otherwise we have to read stuff like this:
FramePtr ReturnAd Param#1 Param#2 Param#3 Param#4 Function Name<br />
0012F054 00549EBF 01BA91A8 00000001 006AE5E0 0012F0CC !<nosymbols><br />
0012F104 00508DCA 009DDDB0 00000000 00000001 0057A490 !<nosymbols><br />
0012F120 0057A43C 009DDDB0 00000001 0057A490 0012F148 !<nosymbols><br />
0012F1D0 0046F330 01570F58 02DB9118 00000000 00030018 !<nosymbols><br />
0012F29C 0048F9FC 02D88BD8 0012F70C 00000000 01C3C4C0 !<nosymbols>
and map each pointer (probably ReturnAddress) to something similar in the .map file (created with the /MAP option). This is horrible and time consuming.
Somebody who knows a solution?

Wouldn't it be easier to just fix the app so that it doesn't crash anymore?

That's pretty crass.
It sounds like you work in a world of software that lives in an extremely controlled environment.
Well, good for you.
The rest of us make do in a world of windows with spyware, third-party audio drivers, third-party video drivers, third-party camera drivers, different flavors of windows with different behaviors, and on and on -- things that cause the environment to become less than standard and less than well perfectly behaved.
Things do crash. And if you're not prepared to support your customers with crash support and diagnosis, then good luck.
This place is all about help and support -- sharing knowledge not attitude.
I don't know the answer to his question, but I do know that your response to him doesn't help (and for that matter, neither does mine). I, too, am interested in this topic, as this behavior affects our products as well
Thank you very much.
That's all I have to say.

You have probably done this but MSDN suggests that instead of /PDB:NONE you use /Zi. From the description it sounds like they do the same thing.

I want a button to diplay the red text sometime, so I create a class derived from CButton and override the OnCtlColor handler, as below:
HBRUSH CColorButton::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
HBRUSH hbr = CButton::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
if(m_iFlag == 1)
pDC->SetTextColor(0x000000ff);
return hbr;
}
but I found the handler didn't be executed even when the dialog initialized,
How can I do the work I want.
Thanx.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you.
I saw the source code and found the way he accomplished the work seamed the same as mine.
I just wonder why my overrided message handler OnCtlColor didn't be executed, as I set a break point in the handler, no stoping occured when I debuged.
|
|
|
|

Are you using ON_WM_CTLCOLOR() or ON_WM_CTLCOLOR_REFLECT() in your message map? Since your OnCtlColor() function is in your button, you need to use ON_WM_CTLCOLOR_REFLECT(). If you're not, just replace the message map entry and it will work fine.
Hope this helps,
Ryan

Yeth, I also found that is the point just now. It seems that the ON_WM_CTLCOLOR message could only be managed by parent wnd, I replaced it with ON_WM_CTLCOLOR_REFLECT and overrided CtlColor() (not OnCtlColor) and it worked.
Thank you.
Does it means only I need is to manage the ON_WM_CTLCOLOR_REFLECT message but ON_WM_CTLCOLOR?

You don't need ON_WM_CTLCOLOR(), only ON_WM_CTLCOLOR_REFLECT()

Have a look at the msdn article Visual C++/MFC Frequently Asked Questions, in the MSDN library. I haven't got the web link, but the extract is shown below:
How do I change the background color of a button?
Note: the method in "How do I change the background color of a control?" will not work for buttons!
If you want to change the color of a dialog button, you have to use an owner-draw button. (You can use bitmap buttons.) Changing the color through OnCtlColor() will not work for buttons. The following Knowledge Base articles may be of help to you: Q32685, "Using the WM_CTLCOLOR Message," and Q64328, "SAMPLE: Owner-Draw: 3-D Push Button Made from Bitmaps with Text." This article explains sample code for a owner-draw button.

In an add-in I made for office applications I was able to determine whether I'm working with WORD, EXCEL or POWERPOINT by using the GetIDsOfNames function on the application, while rgszNames = "Name".
STDMETHOD ( GetIDsOfNames )(
REFIID riid,
LPOLESTR* rgszNames,
UINT cNames,
LCID lcid,
DISPID* rgdispid );
While working with WORD I was able to retrieve the file name and path by further use of this function:
The active document was retrieved by using the function
on the application, while while
rgszNames = "ActiveDocument".
The document name was retrieved by using the function
on the active document, while while rgszNames = "Name".
The document's file path was retrieved by using the
function on the active document, while while
rgszNames = "Path".
While working with EXCEL I was able to retrieve only the WorkBooks by using the function on the application, while while rgszNames = "WorkBooks".
All this was done in the trial and error system.
I'd appreciate it very much if someone could refer me to a list of values that can be sent as the rgszNames parameter and/or explain how to retrieve the file path and name while working with EXCEL and POWERPOINT.

Which property? Name, size, date, owner, attribute, etc?
|
|
|
|
|
my question too -- exactly which properties. Properties about the file?
Or, do you speak of specific properties stored in an OLE DOCFILE(IStorage/IStream)?

Thank you for your reply.. I need to know the application name of the file which doesn't have an extension.
I have the following code and it only work for MS Office files but not for others like .tiff, .txt, pdf..etc
if the file is not MS Office files, then the hr = pPropSet->Open(FMTID_Summary.... set the hr to FAILED.
It never get executed DumpBuiltInProps(pPropStg,appname);
<br />
bool GetAppName(char* filename,char *appname)<br />
{<br />
WCHAR wcFilename[1024];<br />
setlocale( LC_ALL, "" );<br />
int i = mbstowcs(wcFilename, filename, strlen(filename));<br />
setlocale( LC_ALL, "C" );<br />
wcFilename[i] = 0;<br />
<br />
HRESULT hr = S_OK;<br />
IStorage* pStg = NULL;<br />
hr = ::StgOpenStorageEx(wcFilename, STGM_READWRITE | STGM_TRANSACTED, STGFMT_DOCFILE, 0, NULL, NULL, IID_IStorage, (void**)&pStg);<br />

The code that you have works for programs that employ the OLE2 DOCFILE format. DOCFILE is a filesystem within a file.... It's a container system that stores virtual-file and virtual-directories within a single file.
The DOCFILE also has the ability to store a "summary" table -- represented by IPropertyStorage.
This kinda thing only works for DOCFILES. Other files are more difficult.
You CAN look into the registry (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT), to find out what program is associated with your file extension. But if you don't have a file extension, then you're in trouble.
Without a file extension, I expect that you'd have to open the file to manually detect the format. (a pretty limited solution).
As a bit of unrelated trivia -- the Mac handles file associations without using filename extensions. They do all of this by saving useful data into the "resource fork" of the file. All files in the mac file system have a resource fork (I think)....

Try this:
bool GetAppName(char* filename,char *appname)
{
WCHAR wcFilename[1024];
setlocale( LC_ALL, "" );
int i = mbstowcs(wcFilename, filename, strlen(filename));
setlocale( LC_ALL, "C" );
wcFilename[i] = 0;
HRESULT hr = S_OK;
IPropertySetStorage* pStg = NULL;
hr = ::StgOpenStorageEx(wcFilename, STGM_READWRITE | STGM_TRANSACTED, STGFMT_DOCFILE, 0, NULL, NULL, IID_IStorage, (void**)&pStg);
if(FAILED(hr))
{
hr = ::StgOpenStorageEx(wcFilename, STGM_READWRITE | STGM_TRANSACTED, STGFMT_ANY, 0, NULL, NULL, IID_IStorage, (void**)&pStg);
if(FAILED (hr))
return false;
}
IPropertyStorage *pPropStg = NULL;
hr = pStg->Open(FMTID_SummaryInformation,STGM_READ|STGM_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE,&pPropStg);
if(FAILED(hr))
{
pPropSet->Release();
pStg->Release();
return false;
}
DumpBuiltInProps(pPropStg, appname);
pPropSet->Release();
pStg->Release();
return true;
}

I am trying to create an array of structures.
The structure that I have created looks like this:
<br />
<br />
struct TSimSignal<br />
{<br />
<br />
double Value[45];<br />
int SimWriteFlag;<br />
int data_index;<br />
int DisplayReadFlag;<br />
long TimeStamp;<br />
<br />
};<br />
My program has to write the entire structure to memory so, another program can read that chunk of memory and use the struct.
Here is the array that I created:
<br />
<br />
struct TSimHeader *header_ptr = new TSimHeader[1];<br />
I then try to add the TSimSignal to the array
Is this how you would doo this?
I think my array is an array of pointers to the structs, but How can I create an array that will hold the TSimSignal struct?
Thanks,
sj

Use a CArray template:
#include "afxtempl.h"
.
.
.
CArray<tsimheader, tsimheader=""> arrayName;
arrayName.SetSize(0,1);
Then you can simly use the the memberfunctions of CArray to Add/Insert/Delete... elements of the type TSimHeader.
Search MSDN for CArray for more info.
Hope that helps

You can do something like:
struct TSimSignal
{
double Value[45];
int SimWriteFlag;
int data_index;
int DisplayReadFlag;
long TimeStamp;
} TSimSignalArr[10];or
struct TSimSignal
{
double Value[45];
int SimWriteFlag;
int data_index;
int DisplayReadFlag;
long TimeStamp;
} *TSimSignalArr;
TSimSignalArr = new struct TSimSignal[10];

David,
I must be doing something wrong because
When I try that I get these errors:
d:\.h(30) : error C2501: 'TSimHeader_arr' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
d:\.h(30) : error C2040: 'TSimHeader_arr' : 'int' differs in levels of indirection from 'struct TSimHeader *'
d:\.h(30) : error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'struct TSimHeader *' to 'int'
This conversion requires a reinterpret_cast, a C-style cast or function-style cast
d:\.cpp(164) : error C2275: 'TSimHeader' : illegal use of this type as an expression
d:\.h(20) : see declaration of 'TSimHeader'
I don't know why I get the error about trying to convert a pointer to an int?
<br />
struct TSimHeader<br />
{<br />
char *Name[45];<br />
char *Unit[45];<br />
double Min[45]; <br />
double Max[45]; <br />
int SignalCount; <br />
int SimStatus;<br />
<br />
}*TSimHeader_arr;<br />
<br />
TSimHeader_arr = new struct TSimHeader[10];<br />
Once I have added all the data that I need to the TSimHeader struct I'm trying to put that struct in position 0.
<br />
TSimHeader_arr[0] = TSimHeader;<br />
Thanks David,
your always helpful.

Your TSimHeader variable shouldn't be the same name as the structure. That aside, once you have the members of this variable set accordingly, you need to do individual assignments to TSimHeader_arr[0], like:
TSimHeader_arr[0].Min = TSimHeaderVar.Min;<br />
TSimHeader_arr[0].Max = TSimHeaderVar.Max;<br />
TSimHeader_arr[0].SignalCount = TSimHeaderVar.SignalCount;<br />
etc.
