makehm.exe is called by makehelp.bat, which you will find is invoked in the custom build settings for (project_name).hpj. It is the file that processes resource.h to extract resource IDs to make many of the automatic help links of MFC work (e.g. pressing help in a dialog).
So if you do as Mike suggests and delete (project_name).hpj from the project the problem will disappear. However the cause is a worry if you ever do want to build help files as makehm.exe is a Microsoft utility located on my machine at
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools

Thanks for reply. It is getting little more complicated. My .hm file just vanished from my project files. I just copied it in from another project (I think that is not the best way to do that, but it works for now).
Now I am getting Cannot find "hcw" ..., but it aventually compiles.
I think the real issue is that my date of \Debug directory "creation" changed to year 2020 ( don't know how) and now the compiler wants to always recompile beacuse it thinks it is out of synch.
Funny part is tha the actual files have correct date, just the directory is messed up.
So, anybody knows how to "roll back " the date?
I'll try to buil Release and the rebult the Debug, maybe that will work.

You don't need the .hm file to be there, it is an output from the build. One from another project is almost certainly useless - it is made from your resource.h file.

hcw.exe is the microsoft help workshop, on my machine located at
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools
so it sounds as if you have a corrupted VS installation.

You can simply delete the debug directory - it should be recreated at build time if it isn't there, but I doubt that the /debug directory creation time has anything to do with things.
Did you delete (project name).hpj from the project? If you go into project settings, for this file you will see a custom build step that invokes makehelp.bat, you should find makehelp.bat in your project directory, and if you have a look inside it you will find where makehm.exe and hcw.exe are called. Deleting the .hpj file from the project will stop this custom build step.
As I said before, I think that you have a corrupted VS installation and rather than keep chasing these things, I'd reinstall.

Can't you just change the project's dependency list (so that the "help project" is no longer part of that list)?

This is why I asked all these silly questions.
a) I have no .hpj file nowhere in my project - so I cannot delete it.
b) There are no dependencies on help anything
c) I did reinstal my VC and it still fails.
d) I do not see any "customization" ( in Settings) regarding help files.
Basically - unless I edit make file I am stuck with this.
BTW I did compile the help file without any problems on different mashine but every time I want to run the debugger I have to recompile because files are "out of date".
Time to start over with my project.
Thanks for all your help.

Have you verified this?

Are you indeed using a makefile?

I'm having problems with an aplication I'm working on that uses basic authentication over a https connection. The problem is a call to Wininets HttpSendRequest which is sometimes sending two requests the first request without credentials the second with the credentials i.e username and password. I have been setting the username and password using InternetSetOption which succeeds and I'm actually checking the credentials using the InternetQueryOption function which is indicating my calls are successful. However using the application HttpAnalyzer I'm seeing two request, most of the time the first without credentials and the second with credentials, being sent.
|
|
|
|
|
In my downloader, I specify the user/pass in InternetConnect(), not InternetSetOption(). Try moving the user/pass to InternetConnect() and see if that changes things. Also check that you're passing the INTERNET_FLAG_SECURE flag to HttpOpenRequest().
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks for the response and I am passing the INTERNET_FLAG_SECURE to the httpCreateRequest() function. And I'm sure I can modify my application to pass the the credentials to InternetConnect() but I'd rather know why InternetSetOption() isn't working as designed. On a side note I have been using InternetQueryOption() function to make sure they are correct after setting them. Adding the seccurity headers manuanlly also works. I work for a internet multimedia company and the extra msgs are painfull.

Hi,
I am trying to call ShellExecute() to run an .exe that takes 1 or more file paths as command line parameter(s).
Although when I format a string like:
""C:\\file1.txt" "C:\\file2.txt" "C:\\file3.txt""
as the lpParameters param I always get an SE_ERR_ACCESSDENIED error.
Am I using the correct command line formatting, as if I pass a ""
(NULL string) as lpParameters the function runs the exe OK.
Many Thanks.

use the \" character to insert a double quote character in your string
|
|
|
|
|
This is what i've done already, The string I've included in the example is how it appears in memory(NOT in source code). I just can't work this out as when I double click a file that is associated with the exe in explorer the command line reads with quotes around
that file name EXACTLY as I have in the source code.

Then the backslashes are the problem. You only use one backslash in file paths.

Hi,
Thanks, solved the problems with the backslashes,
now I can shellexecute() with a command line containing multiple file paths.
The problem I am having now is that when I test the command line string
with a string of length 1951 it works fine, but if I add one more file path
to this string which takes the length to 1983 the function fails.
So presumably the command line string has a max length between 1951 & 1983.
I will test this further, maybe shellexecuteEX() is the way to go.
Many thanks for your help.
|
|
|
|

how do you know the function fails ?
getting an error message ? if yes, can you share with us ?
BTW, ther's nothing restricting the length of the parameter you're talking about under the 1983 characters. this is simply non sense... !
|
|
|
|
|
The error that I was getting was, SE_ERR_ACCESSDENIED
The length limit is NOT nonsense. !
The following link describes the length restrictions on the parameter I am
talking about:
ShellExecute parameter limit.
I guess my 1983 char length string has the .exe file path name appended to
it taking the to total string length to > INTERNET_MAX_URL_LENGTH. Which is
why I was getting the error.
I've solved the problem now, using an intermediate file to get around any
command line length limits.
Thanks for the advice.
|
|
|
|
|
yes, and quoting it says :
If you are using the ShellExecute/Ex function, then you become subject to the INTERNET_MAX_URL_LENGTH (around 2048) command line length limit imposed by the ShellExecute/Ex functions. (If you are running on Windows 95, then the limit is only MAX_PATH.)
so...

Hi All,
I have another problem with calling manage code from dll.
I do the following:
1. Create dll project in the VS2005, add /clr option under project property->C++->general
2. Add header file to the project with interface:
<br />
#define Base_API __declspec(dllexport)<br />
<br />
class BaseI_SqlDbConnection;<br />
class Base_API Base_SqlDbConnection<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
Base_SqlDbConnection(); <br />
BaseI_SqlDbConnection *m_pi;<br />
};<br />
3. Add define of class to the .cpp file. It is the simple wrapper on the SqlClient.
<br />
using namespace System;<br />
using namespace Data;<br />
using namespace SqlClient;<br />
<br />
#ifdef _MANAGED<br />
#pragma managed(push, off)<br />
#endif<br />
BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HMODULE hModule,<br />
DWORD ul_reason_for_call,<br />
LPVOID lpReserved<br />
)<br />
{<br />
return TRUE;<br />
}<br />
#ifdef _MANAGED<br />
#pragma managed(pop)<br />
#endif<br />
class BaseI_SqlDbConnection<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
BaseI_SqlDbConnection()<br />
: m_SqlDbConnection(gcnew SqlConnection){}<br />
<br />
gcroot<SqlConnection ^> m_SqlDbConnection;<br />
};<br />
Base_SqlDbConnection::Base_SqlDbConnection() : m_pi(new BaseI_SqlDbConnection)<br />
{<br />
}<br />
4. Call the class from MFC application looking like this:
Base_SqlDbConnection test;
With help of debugger, I found that the BaseI_SqlDbConnection()
constructor doesn't want to call and object m_SqlDbConnection could not be created.
I guess that the problem is in the managed code, but I am newbie for this. Please help
me to resolve the problem or point me to the article about this.

Hello,
I have recently started using COM classes with which I opened the MS Word application with VC++ code.
This I did by using Application class and calling CreateDispatch function of Application class
_Application app;
app.CreateDispatch("Excel.Application");
app.SetVisible(TRUE);
This was done after loading msword.olb.
But all this process doen't work for excel .I have xl5n32.olb in my Program Files directory .I don't have excel.olb.
So from where should I get excel.olb or How do I fix up the problem with xl5n32.olb
For excel app.SetVisible(TRUE) doesn't work.

Hi all ,
i m executing a ui thread and inside that thread there is a different ui thread starting and in that third ui thread starts.
Now what i want to know is if i close 1st thread by using PostThreadMessage like this
PostThreadMessage(WM_QUIT,NULL,NULL);
all the other threads which are called inside that thread are closed automatically or we have to close them explicitily.
thanks in advance
|
|
|
|

As I know, there is no concept said that there is parent thread and child thread, so you must close each thread explicility.
Thank you.
