When the function returns, the 'size' variable will have a numeric value the size of the data stored to the buffer.
If you ever use something like this in a loop, you need to remember to reset the variable to the size of your buffer before calling RegQueryValue each time.
It is sometimes easy to overlook the [in, out] specification on a parameter

Good afternoon,
I am trying to use windbg to look at dump file.
Open the DMP file that created by HL.EXE in windbg
set symbols path "SRV*C:\HL\HL\Debug\HL.pdb*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbol"
Set the souce file path "C:\HL\HL" (tried to set to dsp file, but got warning: Non-directory path : 'c:\HL\HL\HL.dsp)
Issue a .reload in the WINDBG command window.
Execute a 'g' command to 'go' and it came up with "No runnable debuggees error in 'g'"
is it the souce file path that I am missing? Thank you for your time!

Try the command .ecxr instead - assuming the dump file was generated in response to an exception, it'll display the relevant code, callstack, registers, etc.
You really can't execute a dump file, after all.

here is what I got from command message box:

does it mean" USER32!NtUserWaitMessage+0xb: 77e589a7 c3 ret" is there place that exe crash?
I was testing windbg, so I changed the "return CView::PreCreateWindow(cs);" to "return 0", when I debug the exe, it pops up message says "failed to create enpty document". thanks for looking!

Two suggestions,
1. Maybe you are looking at wrong thread? Try '~*' command to see what threads are there.
2. Try issuing 'kb' to dump call stack and see if that call stack makes sense.

It kind of make sense now, because I changed the BOOL PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs) funtion in HLVIEW.cpp, it couldn't created the window, so it crash on HL.cpp at line 88.....the line 88 is like this "if (!ProcessShellCommand(cmdInfo))
return FALSE;"
did I get this right? Thanks a lot for your help!!!

It looks to me like the last thing that happened was a message box on the screen.
0012f5d4 77e33604 00000000 00000000 0000ffff USER32!NtUserWaitMessage+0xb
However, that message box was probably in response to the failed window creation, which was probably previously attempted in response to this function's internals:
0012fcbc 5f45a7c4 00000000 00000001 0012fedc MFC42D!CSingleDocTemplate::OpenDocumentFile+0x1a5
When MFC framework opens a file:
0012fd58 5f4616ea 004177d0 0012fd9c 5f43749c MFC42D!CDocManager::OnFileNew+0x121
It will attempt to create a document matching the file, and that document wants a CView-based class to display the document within. You set off a chain reaction of failures when you did not create the CView for the document.

this is exactly what have happened!!
but I just couldn't see it.....Thank you so much for all your help!

I use VC.net to create a MFC regular DLL. VC wizard generates a skeleton for me.
// CVCMFCDLL_App
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CVCMFCDLL_App, CWinApp)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
// CVCMFCDLL_App construction
CVCMFCDLL_App::CVCMFCDLL_App()
{
// TODO: add construction code here,
// Place all significant initialization in InitInstance
}
// The one and only CVCMFCDLL_App object
CVCMFCDLL_App theApp;
// CVCMFCDLL_App initialization
BOOL CVCMFCDLL_App::InitInstance()
{
CWinApp::InitInstance();
return TRUE;
}
All these is not what I expected. I want to export my own Class. What are those for? may I delete all those stuff?
Why it contains a "theApp"? it is really confused!

Sounds like you want an MFC Extension DLL then.
xianwuluo wrote:

Initialization, globals, whatever.

I don't want MFC extention DLL. regular is enough. I just found these skeleton useless.
I delete these stuff, it works!
another problem:
I don't want my class private member to be exposed to Client. I know I have to use .def file to export class. but when I do
EXPORTS
; Explicit exports can go here
CMyClass
I got compile error. CMyClass is not recongnized by compiler.

Isn't that what private means ?

Yes, Client can not access to it. but as the private variables or functions are listed in .h file. Client is going to include in this application. It would be nicer, that Client only see public stuff of the class.

Two notes:
1) C++ does name mangling to encode additional information in exported symbols. You need to list the mangled names in the .def file, or use Microsoft-specific commands in your code to make this happen. (hint: the latter is far easier than the former)
2) Because of the way C++ works, you can't expose a class without exposing private member variables. If you don't want your client to see these when reading the header file, then you'll need to go to some extra effort to make that happen - export a class that doesn't have the private member variables, but internally uses the class that does to do what it needs. Do a search for "facade pattern" if that doesn't make sense.

hi,
does anyone know how to call a program(such as mspaint, word or any other program/ executable present) from our vc++ application. i.e. on executing an application it should call another windows program.
thanks

Why? Those are simply a holdover from the days of Unix. Unless you are doing 16-bit work, they have no place in Windows development.

I have a simple question. I have inherited a VC++ application that uses a 3rd party software (Roguewave Stingray) for its GUI grids, tree controls, etc. Since I inherited this app, plus the fact that I don't have much experience writing large pc-based apps from scratch, my question is:
What is the advantage of using 3rd party tools for grids, tree controls, etc.? Doesn't MFC have this functionality built in, or is it just not robust enough for large-scale apps? My app is approx. 8 years old, so is the answer to this question different now than it was 8 years ago?
Thanks for any feedback.

normally, one buys a toolkit if the current one does not offer what she really want.
for example, there is/were not real spreadsheet/grid control in MFC, and companies ( roguewave, dundas, ... ) decided that there was a market to build such a control to sell to us programmers.
MFC is good enough for applications that stay within a strict MFC/Windows application guideline, and is simple enough so that it does not have a stepp learning curve. The problem arise when the programmer wants to do something that is not supported or already done ( grid, advanced editors, trees, ... ); the programmer has to learn more than just the class structures, and basic win32 API, he has to learn how to program with low(er) level API than MFC, and for some companies, having someone spend days or week developping a control that can be bought is not good meny spent.

Hi!
Here's the problem: I have a chat window using a rich edit control, with a vertical scrollbar. When a user is scrolled to the bottom of the rich edit, the text should automatically scroll down when new text is added. But if the user is scrolled up higher in the rich edit, reading something that was written awhile ago or catching up on the chat or something, it should not scroll down.
If I just do nothing to it, everything works except that until the user actually physically scrolls to the bottom ONCE, the text will not automatically scroll down.
I've tried using the GetScrollInfo function to get the max scroll position and compare it to the current position, but the info gleaned by GetScrollInfo doesn't seem to coincide to itself; i.e. when the user has fully scrolled to the bottom, nPos != nMax, the max seems to be a lot larger than the position.
What to do??
Thanks!

I am using VC++ in visual studio dotNET. I wrote a program that has several threads running doing stuff, and a dialog box that is updated by the main thread. Everything works well when I hit "run" in the development environment. But when I run the executable, everything seems fine, but if I so much as click anything outside of the dialog box window, the window does not get updated again, it does not repaint, and it appears to have stopped responding. The other threads, however, are still running, and when they finish, the main window is updated with all the information that it should have been displaying along the way. I am a little new to the ms environment, and I thought that running through the development environment and running the .exe should be the same. Does anyone know what is going on here?
I could really use some help.

Does the main thread own the dialog box?

This is a classic problem with threads. Read here and here for more.
