assignments are made to test you a your knowledge... so if you don't know the principle, it's your problem, not ours.

now, you can always ask the forum for a particuliar question on a specific point, but don't give the entiere subject you were assigned to, or you will always get flamed !!

ok, let's start again.

there's no question, so i don't know exactly what you're looking for...

is the analysis already done ?
does it have to be object oriented (i suggest to though) ?
does you project have to be built upon a DataBase ?

what are E1~E9 ? different situations to be played ? or only management rules ?

i'm waiting for more precisions sir.

ps: look at my profile, i'm not american Sigh | :sigh:

CListCtrl -> Row Height & Bold font or new font

Hi,

Is there anybody knows how to change the row height in the function OnCustomDraw below ? Is there an easy way to change the current font that the CListCtrl uses to Bold ?

void CColoredListCtrl::OnCustomDraw(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
*pResult = 0;

LPNMLVCUSTOMDRAW lplvcd = (LPNMLVCUSTOMDRAW)pNMHDR;
int iRow = lplvcd->nmcd.dwItemSpec;

switch(lplvcd->nmcd.dwDrawStage)
{
case CDDS_PREPAINT :
{
*pResult = CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW;
return;
}

// Modify item text and or background
case CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT:
{
lplvcd->clrText = RGB(0,0,200);
SelectObject (lplvcd->nmcd.hdc, m_fFont);

// If you want the sub items the same as the item,
// set *pResult to CDRF_NEWFONT
*pResult = CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW;
return;
}

// Modify sub item text and/or background
case CDDS_SUBITEM | CDDS_PREPAINT | CDDS_ITEM:
{

if(iRow %2){
lplvcd->clrTextBk = m_colRow2;
*pResult = CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW;
return;

}
else{
lplvcd->clrTextBk = m_colRow1;
*pResult = CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW;
return;

}

*pResult = CDRF_DODEFAULT;
return;

}
}

Variables do not get passed to each other.

You can, in some cases, convert from one type to another.

CString myStr = _T("hello");
TCHAR *myVar = (LPTSTR) (LPCTSTR) myStr;

Dump file reading via WinDbg

Axter6-Dec-05 4:28

Axter

6-Dec-05 4:28

I'm trying to read a Dump file from a client, and I'm not sure how to do this with WinDbg.

1. If I'm not certain about the client's OS, can I download multiple Windows OS symbols to the same path, or do I need to download the symbols to seperate path for each OS version?
2. If I have the symbols for an OS with service packs installed, can I still use these symbols with a dump file from an OS that doesn't have any service packs installed?
3. Is there any clean way to examine the dump file to determine which OS it's for, and what version or service pack it has with it?
4. If I wanted to use VC++ 7.1 to examine the dump file, exactly how would I do that?

I'm currently waiting for the client to send some msinfo32 output that I believe will tell me about the OS and service pack, but I was wondering if there are other options for getting this information via the dump file.

Need to get Command line argument and add to this simple function

Hi there!

I'm quite new with C++, using other languages but now i needed to write an Printer USB routine in C++, and i need some help!

It's like this

BytesToWrite = sprintf( (char *) szBuffer, "\033F\r\033B 512 600 4 1 2 3 150 1 999999999\r\033I\r");

WriteFile( hDevice, szBuffer, BytesToWrite, &cbWritten, Null);

etc, etc, etc

I need to replace the 999999999 with the first command line argument (paramstr(1) Can someone help me with this!?

What this function does, is to send ESC commando codes to an Zebra Eltron printer.. Print barcode.. 999999999 is the barcode, but i need be able to call this little application from another application then with the barcode as command line argument.!

Best regards

Does your program have a main() function?

Hi, yes!

Srry, didn't mention.. but here it comes!

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
TCHAR DeviceName[1024];
HANDLE hDevice = NULL;
DWORD cbWritten;
DWORD cbRead;
BYTE szBuffer[1024];
DWORD BytesToWrite;
StringType SlumpNum;

// This function enumerates the printer class devices and detects the appropriate
// device

CCmdLine cmdLine;

EnumeratePrinter(( LPGUID) &GUID_CLASS_ZEBRA_USB,
DeviceName,
PRINTERNAME);
hDevice = CreateFile(DeviceName,
GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,
0,
NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING,
0,
NULL);
// Read Ribbon

BytesToWrite = sprintf( (char *)szBuffer,
"\033!RIBBON\r");
WriteFile( hDevice,
szBuffer,
BytesToWrite,
&cbWritten,
NULL);

// To read you need to send "\033E 2\r"

BytesToWrite = sprintf( (char *)szBuffer,
"\033E 2\r");
WriteFile( hDevice,
szBuffer,
BytesToWrite,
&cbWritten,
NULL);

ReadFile( hDevice,
szBuffer,
1024,
&cbRead,
NULL );
// End of ribbon read

// Start Encode Data
// Fill in the data in firmware buffer
// First track ZEBRA1 command: \033&B 1 ZEBRA1\r
// Second track Age command: \033&B 2 28\r
// Third track YOB command: \033&B 3 1975\r
// Encode all three track
// command: \033E*\r

BytesToWrite = sprintf( (char *)szBuffer,
"\033F\r\033B 512 600 4 1 2 3 150 1 999999999999\r\033I\r");
WriteFile( hDevice,
szBuffer,
BytesToWrite,
&cbWritten,
NULL);

And you can see the 999999999999 that i would like to insert the first command line parameter instead...
