 i am designing a GUI soft and wanna minimize it to taskbar,users can do some simple functions on the taskbar window.
what i saying is just like Microsoft MediaPlay 8,9,10.
i want to konw how to realize the operation.
ThankS!!
Stick to C++

I've tried the DRAWCLI sample from MSDN
it uses c++ polymorphism for its
implementation
why all tool's instance pointer are stored in the variable c_tools(CPtrList)
thanks in advance

MSG msg;
box* test;
WaitForSingleObject(consumerReady, INFINITE);
Sleep(0);
while (true)
{
get_msg(consumerID,test);

return 0;
}
And change

MSG lmsg;
GetMessage(&lmsg, 0, 0, 0);

int err = GetLastError();
printf("\n obj_get->msgid %d ",obj->msid);

I'm reading data from the serial port with ReadFile(). Now I know that in the middle of the read, I will get a null character (0x00). After the ReadFile statement, the string it's put the characters into only exists until the null character, thinking that position is the null terminating the string, but there's more data that it read past that null which I need. Previously, I'd read one character at a time, if it was a null, it would toss it out. If it wasn't null, it'd copy it to a string. That works but it's too complicated and takes too much time communicating with the serial port. Anyone have an idea I can bypass this null but not have to read each character one at a time. When reading one character at a time, there are some really sticky and annoying timing issues that quickly turn into a minefield for me so any way I can avoid it is fine with me. Thanks in advance, Nate.

It's not because there is a null character in your string that the rest of your data isn't read from the serial port.
What you can do is read the data (all at once) in to a char[] and then copy character per character into a string if you want to...
Something like this:
int i, index=0;
char DataBuffer[], StringBuffer[];
ReadFile(...)
for (i=0; i < NumberOfBytesRead; i++)
{
if (DataBuffer[i] != '\0')
StringBuffer[index++] = DataBuffer[i];
}
This way you don't have to worry about communication timing and so on.
Don't think you are, know you are...

|
|
|
|
That's kind of what I was doing, but I was reading in a byte at a time instead of reading them all in one step, then copy the character if it wasn't null. But that looks pretty sharp though, good call, thanks.

|
|
|

Since the buffer can contain '\0' characters, you cannot use any string-related functions like strlen() or strcpy(). You'll need to use memcpy() instead if you need to transfer data from one variable to another.

ah, makes sense because the string functions read until the first null, good call.

I am making a login form(very simple). i am storing username and password(both 5 characters each fixed)in file. when i try to login and press login button, it gives the message "MFC application has encountered and error and needs to close...". And some time it raises exception like "dbgHeap on line 1017" . Please somebody could help me. I am pasting complete code of Login button message handler...
BOOL CNewJoiningFormDlg::LogIn()
{
UpdateData(TRUE);
if(m_strLoginName.GetLength()!=5)
{
MessageBox("Login Name must be exactly 5 characters long","Stop",MB_ICONSTOP|MB_OK);
return FALSE;
}
if(m_strPassword.GetLength()!=5)
{
MessageBox("Password must be exactly 5 characters long","Stop",MB_ICONSTOP|MB_OK);
return FALSE;
}
/*---Declare the variables in which login and password will be read from the file*/
CString psw;
CString login;
//--Take the file pointer to the beginning of the file
ASSERT_VALID(m_pPSWFile);
m_pPSWFile->SeekToBegin();
DWORD fileLength=m_pPSWFile->GetLength();
UpdateData(FALSE);
while( (m_pPSWFile->GetPosition()) < fileLength )
{
m_pPSWFile->Read(&login,5);
if(login==m_strLoginName)
{
UpdateData(FALSE);
m_pPSWFile->Read(&psw,5);
if(psw==m_strPassword)
{
UpdateData(FALSE);
AfxMessageBox("You supplied correct Login Name and Password");
return TRUE;
}
}
}
return FALSE;

Your code keeps a file open for it's entire lifetime ?
Have you tried stepping through the code in a debugger, to see which line is causing your error ?

Don't use UpdateData(). See here for details.

Checking the length is unnecessary. Use CEdit::SetLimitText() instead.
wasife wrote:
MessageBox("Login Name must be exactly 5 characters long","Stop",MB_ICONSTOP|MB_OK);
You might consider AfxMessageBox() here, unless you really need a custom caption.
wasife wrote:
m_pPSWFile->Read(&login,5);
The first parameter to Read() is a void* not a CString*. You'll need something like:
LPSTR lpBuffer = login.GetBuffer(5);
m_pPSWFile->Read(lpBuffer, 5);
login.ReleaseBuffer(5); Now login contains the five bytes read from the file.
As far as the error(s) you are getting, I suggest stepping through each statement in the debugger to see which one is at fault.

I hope that my Windows client program searches all IP devices on same network and then gets MAC addresses of those.
These IP devices are based on LINUX and the client program should be run on all versions of Windows.
In my thought, this is possible by getting the individual IP of all devices, drawing the MAC address from that IP
and checking if the MAC is in particular range which we need.
First step, the way to getting IPs of all devices on network, may be following.
1) broadcasting to all devices on network
2) using WNetEnumResource
I have not tried 1)way, so I wonder what part of the data from the device has the information of IP.
And I think 2)way has no problem.
Second step, the way to drawing MAC address, may be following.
1) using NetBios()
2) using SendARP()
3) using WinPcap library
Though I tried 1)way, NetBios() can draw only MAC of own PC that my Windows client runs.
2)way is possible on only Windows 2000, Xp, so this way is not proper for me.
3)way is may be possible, But, bucause I think I should program ARP protocol, it will be difficult.
Or, is there any easier way and solution to do those two steps except my thoughts?
And, is there any problem or error of my thoughts?
Please give me advices.
Have a nice day!
|
|
|
|
|
The third way is not impossible.. it's the best way!
Send a broadcast ping packet, receive the answers with the winpcap and extract the mac addresses from it. That should be very easy!
Don't try it, just do it!

i wrote an dialog based application. now i want to create a setup file for it. any ideas????????
|
|
|
|

check out NSIS, made by Nullsoft, the Winamp people. I haven't used it personally, but I bet it's pretty easy to learn and powerful because it's a pretty widely used free installer.

|

If you only want to create a setup file for your application , you can use the tools about setup , e.g "Installer VISE" . If you want to write a tool about setup , you should to have a long about step to step base of dialog .
e.g
http://www.vckbase.com/code/listcode.asp?mclsid=3&sclsid=317[^]

 Hi,I have made a single document MFC application in VC++, in which several items may be drawn using toolbar(same as MS paint).But the problem is here: I want to make one of the items in such a way that when a user draws (selecting from toolbar)it in drawable area and clicks or double clicks (preferrable if double right click is implemented)on it, another document opens in which the user can also draw using the toolbar as it occurs for the root document.Here also if the specified tool is selected from toolbar and drawn in the child document (i.e. drawable area ) and double right clicked it opens another child document of it and so on..
Again ,if saved ,all the documents (i.e. main document,child document,next child document,...) must be saved and when opened the main document ,it should take care of the rest i.e. when double right clicked on the specified item which was drawn,the corresponding child document should be opened from repository and so on..
There may be several such item drawn in a single document.Is it possible not to open the child documents from repository?
How could I do the above? Please help me step by step.

I have a function declared like this: bool CSerialControl::DoCommPackage (DWORD dwBlockTime, void *lpvOutputData, unsigned int uiOutputLength, void *lpvIncoming, unsigned int uiExpectedInputLength) { ... }
When I call the function, I have this:
char buf[70];<br />
if (classData->m_serialPort->DoCommPackage(INFINITE, NULL, 0, buf, 70)) { ... do something useful ... }
It gets the right return value, true under the proper circumstances, and does something useful, but in the useful part, the buf character array is unchanged from when it was allocated before the if statement. I don't get why it's unchanged, am I missing something or what? Thanks, Nate.
