In general, it is the base-16 representation of 257. In the context of WSAStartup(), it is highest version of Windows Sockets support that the caller can use, with the high-order byte specifying the minor version (revision) number, and the low-order byte specifying the major version number.

Microsoft code is lousy with terrible macros and typedefs. LRESULT is a return code, and obviously the L stands for long, hence the return value also being explicitly made a long. Google gave me this:

Where is modeAppend in Serialization?

Just curious all the tutorials i have came upon doesn't address this issue. How do you append to a file using serialization? I have a database (text file) dialog program i made that will write to a file and read from the file. However it overwrites preexisting data. Help on this would be great. I know fsopen has +a is there anything like that in serialization?

Appending with serialisation makes no sense. The point of serialisation is that you have a data structure somewhere in memory that you want to save to disk and read back sometime later. The serialisation process doesn't just save the data, it saves metadata to make it possible to read both the data and the data structure back later. Deserialisation recreates your datastructure (with all the pointers from high level objects to lower level objects intact). Thus, the only way that appending makes sense is to 'append' an object of some kind to the original structure in memory. Appending data to a 'file' that contains serialisation data without reference to the original data will result in 'orphaned' objects existing in your memory - objects you can't reference because your original data structure has no idea they exist.

CDialogBar does not support controls

HI all;

I am building an application which should have a tab control on a CDialogBar. Visual C++ gladly added the dockable dialog bar for me but i could not figure out where to put the code to create the tab control since the OnInitDialog() function is simply ineffective. Can anybody please help out. I need to know where i should place my code to create the TAb control on the dialogbar.

I badly need this guys;

THanks

Let's assume you're trying to create the object using DDX. In other words, you've embedded an object of the correct type in your class definition and written a DoDataExchange function with the appropriate DDX_Control() call.

It might look like this (simplified).

Header file.

C++

class CMyDialogBar : public CDialogBar
{
public:
    CMyTabbedControl  m_tabControl;

    virtual void DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX);
    virtual void OnInitDialog();
};

and your implementation file looks like this.

C++

void CMyDialogBar::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX)
{
    CDialogBar::DoDataExchange(pDX);
    DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_MYTABCONTROL, m_tabControl);
}

void CMyDialogBar::OnInitDialog()
{
    CDialogBar::OnInitDialog();

    return TRUE;
}

And yet it doesn't work. As you've noticed, OnInitDialog() isn't called for a DialogBar. The solution I found was to add a function Initialise() to the DialogBar derived class and call it once I knew the dialog bar had been created.

C++

void CMyDialogBar::Initialise()
{
    UpdateData(FALSE);
}

Yes, it's that simple. Just call UpdateData() (make sure the call occurs before any code that tries to use the TabControl) and the control will be created.

How to develop a printing server?

Hi,

I have scanner program that send scanned pictures to printer through firewire.
I want to develop a server in Visual C++ that will recieve the scanned pictures instead of the printer, will schedule them, and send them to the printer.
Both connections of scanner->server and server->printer should be by firewire (The speed is the most important issue for me).

Any one has an idea how to cope with this issue?
Should the server pretend to be a printer, so the scanner will send the pictures to it?
Do I have to dig into the printing protocol in order to enable the server communicate with both scanner and printer?
I don't have a clue how to approch this issue Confused | :confused:

,
So any help will be very appreciated.

Thanks,
Alon

Hi members,
I am having a problem in writing a program that will generate a billing statement for a customer. How can I declare gas used in this program?

Natural GasTex Company charges their customers based on the amount of gas that they consumed. The company uses the following table to compute charges.

Gas used (in thousands cubic feet)
Rate

First 20
$16.48

Next 5
$1.19 per thousand cubic feet

Next 7
$0.79 per thousand cubic feet

Above 32
$0.39 per thousand cubic feet

This appears to be a homework assignment. If you have specific questions people are willing to help you, however they will not do your homework for you as you are only cheating yourself in the end.

At first, I was fooled...then I read the other posts went back and read it again. Realizing the second time it was probably homework, I laughed and decided not to offer my solution. And to think I was wondering how anyone could get a client and not be capable of solving such a trivial problem.

We were working on an online ordering system for a client and had a version online for them to test. Google found it, it was quite a kerfuffle. We, as a result, learned how to mark a site so google won't index it.
