Ok.
The code in the thread is:
tprintf(_T("COM%d\n"), ports.ElementAt(i));
then, port.ElementAt(i) is a number.
You have to modify your code in the following way (or similar):
char txt[256];
sprintf(txt,"COM%d",ports.ElementAt(i));
m_port.AddString(txt);

I need to store the handle of my dialog so that I can pass it to my plug-ins so that they can pass messages back to the calling application. I am doing the following in OnInitDialog(). Will this cause any problems or is this method okay?
BOOL CHTPCCOREDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
...
HWND hMainWindow = AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd->GetSafeHwnd();
...
}
|
|
|
|
|
It is safe as long the main window is not recreated.

To use all afx functions do you need MFC linked applications?
|
|
|
|

yes

ok, im using this com port enumarator:
http://www.codeproject.com/system/listports.asp
and im haveing trouble using it to list the ports in a list box using MFC. Can someone send me a simple example doing that with this, using VC++ 6 preferably?
thank you, This stupid thing is frustrating me beyond belief lol

Sorry I did not check "Do not treat <'s as HTML tags."
In Stdafx.h should be:
#include <afxext.h>
#include <afxtempl.h>
In Demo.cpp missed
#include <stdio.h>

im about to shove a stick of dynomite into my comps serial port, lol
i get this error:
cannot convert parameter 1 from 'unsigned int' to 'const char *'
for this line of code:
m_port.AddString(ports.ElementAt(i));
how do i fix that?
thank you
|

You have to convert this integer into string such as:
char str[7];
sprintf(str, "COM%d", ports.ElementAt(i));
m_port.AddString(str);
|
|
|
|
|
|
Being only a beginner, I have a very basic question to ask:
to input names, what is the best to use: strings or char format?
|
|
|
|
|
Char can store only one charecter.
String can store any number of charecters.
So as name contain multi chars, use Strings.

When I try to spawn a thread i get an error. Here is my code:
DWORD dwThreadId, dwThrdParam = 1;
HANDLE hThread;
char szMsg[80];
hThread = CreateThread(
NULL, // default security attributes
0, // use default stack size
cliThread, // thread function
&_param, // argument to thread function
0, // use default creation flags
&dwThreadId); // returns the thread identifier
// Check the return value for success.
if (hThread == NULL)
{
wsprintf( szMsg, "CreateThread failed." );
MessageBox( NULL, szMsg, "main", MB_OK );
}
else
{
}
The error was that the memory couldnt be read. Is there a quick solution to my problems? Thanks

There must be something in the thread that you are trying to do that is causing the exception.

All linux distributions comes with a GCC compiler suite. (unless they've been stripped down for use in embedded systems or something like that)
Just type g++ in a shell command prompt and see what response you get.
