I dont think there is a direct function to get server time
So you have to implement a command to get time from the server.
User defined protocol.

Use Winsock to establish connection between your client and server machine so that you can exchange data between then. Design the server application to get current date and send it to client as data. This winsock tutorial[^] will be helpful.

Having problem in figuring out the logic (c++)

Hi...i have a small problem and im finding difficult to figure proper algorithm for it, plse help me out.The probelm is explained below:

I have a data of a boundary formed by set of 3d(X,Y,Z) points in an array (each point has x,y,z cordinates) and I also have a new point data (x1,y1,z1).My problem is i have to find out if this new point falls with in the boundary of set of points.

I am not able to figure out proper logic for this.Can somebody help me out?
Plse do help me.

Thnx in advance.

Does it have any specific shape ? Because if not, this will probably be very difficult because if you have a 'random'cloud of points, it is quite impossible to make a boundary out of that.

Thnx for the reply.As you said these points are scattered all over the space and the boundary formed by these points might not be closed a one.i want to find out if my new point lies with in this point cloud or not.Is it possible?? Plse do help me out.

Well it depends a lot of your requirements. You can maybe simply check the min/max values for the X, Y and Z axis and so have a 3D rectangle which is the boundary of your points cloud. That should be easy to do (walk over all the points and take the min/max for the 3 dimensions). Then checking if a new point is inside that is quite easy.
But does that work with your requirement ? What do you need to do exactly ?

I thank you very much, once again.Well, i need to find out if my point lies inside or outside the boundary (or point cloud) formed by the availables set of points.

If i take the min/max of all the three dimesnsions(x,y&z) i might get 6 different points (3points for minimum values of x/y/z and 3 for maximum values of x/y/z), right?
Do you suggest me that i will have to compare and find out if my new point cordinates(x1, y1, z1) is either greater or less than the any of the (x,y,z)values of the 6 points? Which means that if any one value (either x1/y1/z1) is greater than the (x/y/z) of the 6 points, the new point lies outside the point cloud.

Plse do tell me if i my understanding of the method you suggested is right.
Thank You.

What I understood, is that Cedric suggested to test if the point p(x,y,z) is in the bounding box of this set of points. And you do this by just comparing if((x>=XMIN)&&(x<=XMAX)&&(y>=YMIN)&&(y<=YMAX)&&(z>=ZMIN)&&(z<=ZMAX)). So, if by the word "cloud" you mean bounding box, it's ok. If you mean "convex hull" it's a quite different problem. And although the 2d version of this problem is a common topic for an introductive to algorithms class, I don’t know much about the 3d case. Definitely this question belongs in an algorithms forum. Meanwhile search for “convex hull from set of 3d points”, and “point in convex hull of 3d points” algorithms.

Thnx for the help.I'll check out the logic you suggested but i have doubt if it will work fine if the point is very close to the point cloud.Thnx anyways and i'll get back if i am stuck up somewhere.Thnx again.

How to get the time taken by function to complete its task?

My requirement is somewhat in following way

int nStartTime = GetCurrentTime();

// Call the required Function
Function();

int nEndTime = GetCurrentTime();

int nTimeTaken = nEndTime - nStartTime;

please provide som sample code if possible to fulfill above requirement.
i.e. how to get current time in integer domain.

Following functions are used frequently, ranked according to their importance...

QueryPerformanceCounter
GetTickCount
clock (haven't seen usage of this but anyway just for your information)

Does these[^] help?

TestSigning Status(Help)

Hi,

For Vista 64 we are using signed driver.
Before installing the driver we have to set the testsigning ON through command prompt.
for enabling the testsigning type the following command on cmd:
bcdedit.exe /set /TESTSIGNING ON and then restart the machine.

my concern is that if some one forgot this step and he is trying to install the driver then how could he know that TESTSIGNING is not ON.

Is there way in MFC through which we can get the status of TESTSIGNING.

Thanks

Hi All

How can i call function with parameter in vc++.Function is BOOL CPopDlg::MoveFile(CString source, CString destination) And i want to call these function in

BOOL CTestDlg::OnInitDialog()<br />
{}

.

Right now i am geting error..

error C2275: 'CString' : illegal use of this type as an expression<br />
1><br />
error C2146: syntax error : missing ')' before identifier 'source'<br />

Plz help me

you would need to pass a pointer of class CPopDlg in CTestDlg through some function and then call MoveFile.
If there is a parent child relationship between these two classes, you can use GetParent() to obtain a pointer to the parent and call functions of parents.

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

color of RectTracker handle

IMO no!

Since it's hardcoded in source as RGB(0,0,0), what you can do is derive a class from CRectTracker and override Draw function.

It's not a virtual function, but still if you are using the derived class object you can directly call yours, you just got to change one line...

pDC->FillSolidRect(rect, RGB(0, 0, 0));

copy the rest of source code to your own Draw version.
