It appears to have something to do with the definition of winsock.h vs winsock2.h

When why am I receiving the error in my sqltypes.h file ??

Looking through those headers I can't see why you'd get that message.

Do you have WIN32 defined (probably in the project settings preprocessor defines)? You should Smile | :)

Also, maybe try including windows.h before those includes, but I can't readily see where that
would make a difference.

One catch though ... I'm using Borland C++ Builder 2006. I developed a cpp and header file in VC++ 2005 and now I want to use it in Borland but I get the above error ... Sigh | :sigh:

But you're using header files from the Windows Platform SDK, right? Or does Borland have
their own version of Windows headers?

Well in one of the lib directories of the Borland folder the odbc32.lib exists. So yes, I guess that Borland has those header files Confused | :confused:

That's a library not a header Poke tongue | ;-P

Take a look through sqltypes.h - does it refer to "WIN32"? What about "HWND"?

Yes, all of the header files are there.

sql.h
sql_1.h
sqlext.h
sqltypes.h
....
....

And all of the states "Microsoft Corporation" at to the top.

How can I determine what type of media is associated with a letter in Windows?
Example:
A: is floppy,
B: not used,
C: fixed drive,
D: CD-ROM,
etc.

In VC++ 6 please.

hello everybody

i used to do quite a lot of vc a few years
but got a job using another programing lauguage called PReS. (I bet nobody has heard of it)

is vc still the language to learn or would vb.net or c# or somthing else be better

which the most used language these days

jooooe Confused | :confused:

If you ask in here you know you're going to get the answer VC++ Big Grin | :-D

After all you're not a soft headed newbie who need his memory managed for him are you? Seriously it all depends on what you want to do, how much control you want over how it's done and how quickly you want it done.

Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

www.tiobe.com keeps statistics on programming language search engine queries. As Mr. Crow stated, it is unlikely that this will be an accurate representation of what is used most as nobody could possibly know that, but it gives one a picture of how often a person resorts to a search engine query for a particluar language.

One could argue since MSDN is so thorough, that there will be fewer queries from users using Microsoft compilers which would indicate the statistics are probably less than accurate. One could also argue that the statistics merely indicate which languages require secondary assistance to get things done and could simply indicate a flawed help system for the leading compilers of that language.

Beware of buzzword fluctuations as they usually reflect the initial surge of queries to find out what a buzzword technology is. Those tend to taper off after the first year for newer technologies.

Hi,

This program is a dialog-based MFC application.

My problem is that when I click the "X" in the top right corner of the program to close it, only the window closes, but the process remains running.

I'm not very familiar with MFC (I usually use standard Windows API) so I don't know how to catch the WM_SYSCOMMAND message to handle this. I've tried ON_WM_SYSCOMMAND() in the message map, but I get a compiler error since neither of my two classes are inherited from CWnd objects (one is CWinApp, the other is CDialog).

Does anyone know why my program isn't closing, or how could I catch the WM_SYSCOMMAND message so I could force it to close?

Thanks!

How are you verifying this? Have you created additional threads?

The process is still visible in the task manager, and no I only have a single thread.

How and where is the main dialog created?

BTW, CDialog IS a CWnd Smile | :)

I thought so too but for some reason I still get a compiler error when I try to map ON_WM_SYSCOMMAND() in my dialog; I guess that's because the BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP macro ties my class to CDialog and not CWnd? Sorry if I sound like an idiot, I'm just not that familiar with how MFC works. This is the first MFC application I've ever created from scratch so I'm still getting the hang of it.

The main dialog is created in the InitInstance() of the main application.

So something like this:

BOOL CTheApp::InitInstance()<br />
{<br />
  CWinApp::InitInstance();<br />
  m_MainDlg = new CMainAppDlg();<br />
  <br />
  if(!m_MainDlg->Create(IDD_MAIN_DIALOG))<br />
  {<br />
    AfxMessageBox(TEXT("Failed to initialize."), MB_OK, 0);<br />
    return FALSE;<br />
  }<br />
  m_MainDlg->SetWindowText(TEXT("Test Dialog"));<br />
  m_pMainWnd = m_MainDlg;<br />
<br />
  return TRUE;<br />
}

What's the compiler error when you add a ON_WM_SYSCOMMAND() entry to the dialog class'
message map?

The error is this:

error C2440: 'static_cast' : cannot convert from 'void (__thiscall CMainAppDlg::* )(void)' to 'void (__thiscall CWnd::* )(UINT,LPARAM)'

Your handler function needs to be declared as

afx_msg void OnSysCommand(UINT nID, LPARAM lParam);

From the error message it looks like you have void OnSysCommand();
