I need to write a script/page that detects the client's browser cipher strength in both netscape and IE. I do not know where to begin, I have been researching this for a day and a half. If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated.....
Thanx,

What i have to do is to limit the amount of users able to access an application over the network at the same time. The application i am talking about ist not a client server app. It's just something like a calculator sitting on a network cd-rom drive.
i have to find out, how many users started this application on their workstation. If the limit of users has been reached, the next user shall not be able to start it.
i have not the slightest idea how to achieve this. Could someone please give me a hint?

The only way I know of to acheive this without a client server architecture is to have users install some registry entries on their local computer and pay for an individual license.

I'm not sure it would work, but you could try this...
Each time the program starts up, have it modify a system registry key to increment how
many instances of the program are running. Each time the program terminates, have it
modify that same system registry key to decrement the number of instances running.
That way, when the program starts, it can check the value of that system registry key. If
it is equal to a cut-off value, the program terminates itself. In that instance, you can either
have the program increment the key and then decrement as usual upon termination, or include
some flag to tell it not to decrement the registry key. I would lean toward having the program
increment the registry key, check its value and if above the cut-off, terminate itself and decrement
the key as usual (a little more consistency in function that way).
Let me know if it works.

There are commercial products that claim they do this.
Check them at the link given below:

and

I used Crypto32 SDK. It does this. Its api is OK.
Thanks

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me where I can get some STL for windows ce.
Thank you
|

STL is not currently supported by Windows CE (through version 3.0). I imagine the next version of the OS will support it. It all has to do with the lack of exception handling in the OS. However, this doesn't mean you are completely out of luck. Several people have done their best to tackle this problem. Check out these links:

Good luck,

Hi I have to write a C program to take any number of arguments of any type from the user at runtime.
I dont want to declare arrays of all the data types as that would be wastage of memory.
Is there an efficient way to input any number of arguments from the user of any type?
Please help as this is a part of my college project!!
Thanks

Try va_list a.k.a. variable-argument list. It's obvious, isn't it ?

Can you show me an example?
Thanks

Here is en example, found at MSDN:
void main( void )
{
printf( "Average is: %d\n", average( 2, 3, 4, -1 ) );
printf( "Average is: %d\n", average( 5, 7, 9, 11, -1 ) );
printf( "Average is: %d\n", average( -1 ) );
}
int average( int first, ... )
{
int count = 0, sum = 0, i = first;
va_list marker;
va_start( marker, first );
while( i != -1 )
{
sum += i;
count++;
i = va_arg( marker, int);
}
va_end( marker );
return( sum ? (sum / count) : 0 );
}HTH,
Thomas

Hi thanks again
But in your code you use all int arguments. Only the number of arguments is changing here.
But I want to be able to multiple type of arguments!!!
like float, char, long etc....possibly all of them!!
is that possible with va_args?
|
|
|
|
|
IMHO, unfortunately, you have to know the type at compile-time.

Thomas

This is trivial. Either that or I don't understand the problem.
Your requirements:
Store variable arguments of different types at runtime.
Type is irrelevant. It will all be ascii at first.
Then you detect your types and convert them. See,
since YOU write the program, YOU decide the types.
The arguments will be in char **argv and the number of them
will be int argc. Write code to print out the
value of argc. When that works, modify it to
also print the argument strings, one by one.
You are 90 percent finished. Now for the other 90 percent...
Modify your code so that, instead of printing
the arguments, you are PARSING them. First, decide
which types you will support. Start with int and char strings.
For each argument string, check each character.
If you get to the end and find only digits, you have an int.
Call atoi() on it and store it in a freshly newed int.
Be careful of overflow - might wanna use longs and atol().
If it wasn't an int, it's a character string.
New up a buffer and strcpy it over.
To add another type, you must invent a way to detect
the type and then you must find a way to convert the
ascii string to your desired type.

This may not be the way you want to go about it, but...
You can write an overload function for each of the different variable types.
So, if the function for integers is... (as was written in the previous answer)
int average( int first, ... )
{
int count = 0, sum = 0, i = first;
va_list marker;
va_start( marker, first ); /* Initialize variable arguments. */
while( i != -1 )
{
sum += i;
count++;
i = va_arg( marker, int);
}
va_end( marker ); /* Reset variable arguments. */
return( sum ? (sum / count) : 0 );
}
Then you just overload the function for other variable types such as:
long average(long first, ...)
{ ... }
double average(double first, ...)
{ ... }
Etc. Then, when the call is made, the proper function for the variable type is called for you. Voila'.

No that's not it.
My problem is to write a function that will take multiple types of arguments simulatneously:
eg: some_function(int arg1, float arg2, ...)
obviously the function call can have any permutation of arguments, and any number of arguments at the same time.
I need this because I am writing a function that will be able to call any function in a DLL when the user provides the name of the DLL, the name of the function and the type and number of parameters 
So you see I have to write a generic function.

The easiest way to do this is by utilizing VARIANTS and CComVariant too!
#include < atlbase.h >
#include < stdio.h >
//------------------------------------------
void TypeArgument(const CComVariant vtArg)
//------------------------------------------
{
switch (vtArg.vt)
{
case VT_I4 :
wprintf(L"Integer Arg = %d\r\n",vtArg.lVal);
break;
case VT_BSTR:
wprintf(L"string Arg = %s\r\n",vtArg.bstrVal);
break;
case VT_EMPTY:
wprintf(L"Empty(void) Arg\r\n");
break;
default:
printf("unhandled type = %d\r\n", vtArg.vt);
break;
}
}
//------------------------------------------
BOOL AnyArguments(CComVariant vtFirst, ...)
//------------------------------------------
{
va_list vargs;
CComVariant varArg;
va_start(vargs, vtFirst);
TypeArgument(vtFirst);
while (TRUE)
{
varArg = va_arg( vargs, CComVariant);
if (varArg.vt == VT_ERROR || varArg.vt == VT_EMPTY)
break;
TypeArgument(varArg);
varArg.vt = VT_EMPTY;
}
va_end(vargs);
return TRUE;
}
//------------------------------------------
void Test()
//------------------------------------------
{
AnyArguments(CComVariant("Ali"), CComVariant(1), CComVariant(2.3));
AnyArguments(CComVariant());
}
int main()
{
Test();
return 0;
}
Even though you were able to get any combination of parameters, I don't beleive you can call any function in a DLL with that!! You need to use assembly code to be able to do that!
If you succeeded with this, please let's know so we can share the knowledge
Good luck!
Mh2!

Yes you are right. We used assembly code to push all the arguments onto the stack and then push the function pointer (returned by GetProcAddress) and then call the function from withing assembly code and finally pop the stack to retrieve the return value.

The question is somewhat confusing. By taking arguments from the user do you mean.
1) Reading program parameters from the command line.
2) Interpretting variable arguments passed to a subroutine from the caller.
3) Prompting for values to be put in.
Various respondants seem to have interpretted it various ways. I guess 1)
You'll probably loop through the parameters one by one. For each one you can try
various conversions. The simplest way is probably to use sscanf. Try a format string like
"%i%c" (tries to read the extra character to ensure the whole string was an integer).
If it's not an integer try for a float.
If it's not a float then treat is as a string.
What you do with the arguments then really depends on the object of the excercise.
You could, if you wanted, store them in a structure like --
struct myArg {
short int type;
union {
float f_val;
int i_val;
char *string_val;
}
};

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me where I can get some example source code for class template. for example, deque, vector source code...
Thank you

THE book to buy is STL Tutorial and Reference Guide by David R. Musser, et al. Foreward by Alexander Stepanov ( who wrote the STL ).
I know you're looking for a download, but if you're serious about it you probably should buy this book.

You might want to take a look at www.stlport.org which is what I use. This is an implementation of the C++ STL. There is quite a bit to wade through, but it works quite well.
