1) Share the folder on the nework machine
2) Then use the UNC path to the share as any other local path for read/write

If the share has only limited access, then Impersonate a user who has read/write access.

To impersonate:

1) use the username and password with read/write permission to call LogonUser()
2) Call ImpersonateLoggedOnUser() with the tocken u received from LogonUser().

Include the header file for the global function in the interface implimenatation class and call the global function. also for the global variable use the extern declaration and use it. there is no diffrence in com for calling a global function/variable. One thing is, be aware that the value of global variable will be shared across instances.

why can not get the variable value correctly

brygid9-Apr-06 20:24

9-Apr-06 20:24

hello,I wrote a property named get_Popvalue(long *nValue),
STDMETHODIMP CATC:get_Popvalue(long *nValue)
{
AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState())
// TODO: Add your implementation code here
*pVal = m_dSendBytes;
TRACE1("m_dSendBytes:%d\n",m_dSendBytes);
//m_dSendBytes is not changed here??
return S_OK;
}
and m_dSendBytes is a public variable the defined in the class CATC.

m_dSendBytes will be changed in another function CATC:NotifyData()

void CATC:NotifyData(long nSize)
{
m_dSendBytes += nSize;
//m_dSendBytes can be changed here
}

but m_dSendBytes can not get correctly by com invoked.
Can you tell me why? Thanks

*pVal = m_dSendBytes;

Here pVal is not declared in the code. The function parameter declaration is nValue and not pVal. The posted code shud not complie. if it is a typing mistake, then chk the IDL declaration for the property. Other than the variable name change issue, the code code you posted doesnt have any error.

Accessing members of objects stored in container.

I am using the STL list container to hold objects of class a. Class a has various member variables of standard type(int, char, etc.). All variables are public. How would I go about accessing those variables in order to compare one object to another?

This is some of my actual code.

void ProcessFile(string filename, std::queue<cjob> &jobQueue)
{
char jobID = 'Z';
int numJobs;
int priority;
int arrivaltime;
int cpuburst[2];
int ioburst[2];

int i;

// ofstream constructor opens file
ifstream injobFile( filename.c_str(), ios::in );
ifstream injobFile1( filename.c_str(), ios::in );
// exit program if unable to create file
if ( !injobFile )
{ // overloaded ! operator
cerr << "File could not be opened" << endl;
exit( 1 );
} // end if

cout << "Reading file..." << endl;

/* //Count number of jobs by counting occurrences of \n
numJobs = static_cast<int>( std::count( std::istreambuf_iterator<char>(injobFile1),
std::istreambuf_iterator<char>(), '\n' ) );
*/

char crap = '(';

//input from file;
i = 0;
//Job * ptrarr_Jobs[10];

while ( i < numJobs)
{
injobFile >> crap >> jobID >> priority >> arrivaltime >> cpuburst[0] >> ioburst[0] >> cpuburst[1] >> ioburst[1] >> crap;

CJob tempJob(jobID, priority, arrivaltime, cpuburst[0], ioburst[0], cpuburst[1], ioburst[1] );
//tempJob = new CJob(jobID, priority, arrivaltime, cpuburst[0], ioburst[0], cpuburst[1], ioburst[1] );

jobQueue.push(tempJob);

cout << "(" << jobID << ' ' << priority << ' ' << arrivaltime
<< ' ' << cpuburst[0] << ' ' << ioburst[0]
<< ' ' << cpuburst[1] << ' ' << ioburst[1]
<< ")" << endl;

i++;

} // end while

return ; // ofstream destructor closes file
} // end ProcessFile()

Notice I referenced the queue; I am having trouble accessing the CJob objects' member variables when I am in the calling function...(main() in this case).

Thanks for any help.

Hi Michael,

The problem I'm having is my Active(ocx) control does not have any interface pointers. All I have is dispinterface for the ocx. Do you know how I call the methods of this control.

Thanks

You'll be calling it through IDispatch. Use IDispatch::GetIDsOfNames to map method names to IDs, then use those in IDispatch::Invoke. To discover what methods are avaialable, use IDispatch::GetTypeInfo.

Have a look at the source for CComDispatchDriver::Invoken in the ATL that comes with VC++ 6 for some guidance.

I have a series on WTL starting here[^], however it probably won't be too helpful if you have no Windows or GUI programming experience already.
I always advise newbies to start at the API level, and not to move on to libraries until you have a very good understanding of how the APIs work.

Hi all,
I am using ATL COM application, in which i am having a list control, i want that by clicking the particular column the elements of that column sorted out how can i do it ...Plz help me out

I write one callback function for sorting and i called that function in the OnColumnClickListname handler i share my code

LRESULT OnColumnclickList1(int idCtrl, LPNMHDR pnmh, BOOL& bHandled)

{
// My code started here
m_ctrllist.Attach(GetDlgItem(IDC_LIST1));
HD_NOTIFY *phdn = (HD_NOTIFY *) pnmh;
m_ctrllist.SortItems(SortFunc, phdn->iItem);
m_ctrllist.Detach();

//My code ends here

return 0;
}

static int CALLBACK SortFunc(LPARAM lParam1, LPARAM lParam2, LPARAM lParamSort)
{

int nRetVal;

PITEMDATA pData1 = (PITEMDATA)lParam1;
PITEMDATA pData2 = (PITEMDATA)lParam2;

switch(lParamSort)
{
case 0:
nRetVal = strcmp(pData1->empcode,
pData2->empcode);
break;

case 1:
nRetVal = strcmp(pData1->empname,
pData2->empname);
break;

case 2:
nRetVal = strcmp(pData1->designation, pData2->designation);
break;

default:

Use CSortListViewCtrlImpl, it does sorting for you.

Base64Encode

Hi I'm using ATL just for one function.
Base64Encode.
I don't make server or network i want juste Encode a string.
I try to make it with an example
from CodeProject:

CString sSource = "ToEncode";<br />
<br />
int nDestLen = Base64EncodeGetRequiredLength(sSource.GetLength());<br />
CString str64;<br />
Base64Encode((const BYTE*)(LPCSTR)sSource, sSource.GetLength(), <br />
             str64.GetBuffer(nDestLen), &nDestLen);<br />
str64.ReleaseBuffer(nDestLen);<br />
cout<<(LPCSTR)str64;

It said me Cannot convert CString to LPCSTR one first argument of Base64Encode.

I'm working under VS2005.
It's the right way to do what i want?
Is there a better way, maybe something else than ATL?
How to correct this error?

Thanks for your answer.
Sorry for my poor english i'm not an english-speaking

You can find many places with Base64 code on the internet, e.g.

By default CListCtrl will sort items in ascending order.
You can control sort order programatically by setting the style LVS_SORTASCENDING or LVS_SORTDESCENDING

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
