What are you talking about? within the .rc file there is no ordering, lexicographical, numerical, alphabetical, none! All those words that you see there: IDI_Icon1, IDI_Icon3, __IDI_APPICON will be turned into a number when you compile the resources. Those numbers are defined in the .rc's header file. Look at the top few lines you will see something like #include "resources.h" then open that file. There you will find all the resource definitions. All you need do is find the name you assigned for your icon, and change it's number.

Hm.....I do understand, what YOU are talking about 
But I DONT give them numbers (names, defines) in the .rc´s header file (the resources.h).
If I do what you suggest, I cannont use the icons for the xp style context menus anymore (dont ask why, thats just how it works)
During compiling they certainly all get number to be identified, but then again it looks like this compiletime number assignment was lexicographical if you DONT assign a number in the first place (which I cant).
Does this make it clearer to you ?
As I said, now it finally all works the way I want it to. But it does so without filling the resources.h.
When I use the VS resource editor, the icons (the way I use them now) have IDs like "IDI_ICON1" instead of what they have when they have a predefined number like IDI_ICON1, without the " " around them and you CANNOT reassign a number in the editor.

Yahoo has an Activex Control for that. Try inserting activex control in dialog or anywhere u like.

Hi people, im using Update Resource to change a Bitmap in a DLL.
The bitmap is beign changed, but the new added bitmap hasn't a valid format.
I found this at expert exchange
char* buf = (char*)HeapAlloc (GetProcessHeap(), 0, dwFileSize + 2);
memcpy (buf, &dwFileSize, sizeof (dwFileSize));
memcpy (buf + 4, lpBuffer + 2, dwFileSize - 2);
This guy said that the resource BMP dont start with BM, instead the first 4 bytes are the lenght of the resource.
But a working BMP in the DLL begins with BM.
I tried without that code and the newly added BMP has an invalid format anyway.
Any suggestion??
Thanks a lot people

<br />
if (INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE != hFile)<br />
{<br />

<br />

Get the bitmap's format fixed first before moving on to UpdateResource(). It doesn't make sense to update a resource via UpdateResource() when the resource is not even vaid.

Maybe I didn't explain myself well :S
If I add the new bitmap in the project via Visual Studio, it works great.
The problem is when I load the same bitmap, a .bmp file, into memory and then add it to the DLL using UpdateResorce.
The new bitmap replaces the old, but Visual studio tell me that the resource had an invalid format and dont show me the image, Loadbitmap also fails the load and shows me an empty static control in my test app.

I´m not sure, but try to check the EXACT format of ur bitmap.....I had the same prob with a GIF file and after checking the exact properties of the working image and after moving my properties to match them exa ctly it worked.....if it looks the same it isnt necessarily the same for VS
|
|
|
|
|
mmm, I don't understand, maybe I missing something...
I have a static control, and I set a Bitmap resource in it using SetBitmap(), that way, I can see the image.
If I add the resorces bmps using visual studio, it work fantastic.
But when I use UpdateResource to change the Bitmap, for another working bitmap made with VS also, it fails, and I don't see anything.
So I open the DLL to check if the resourse was added and I find it's there, but when I try to see it, VS tell me it has an invalid format.
So... The question would be, the bitmap stored as resourse is changed in some way?
Should I write the lenght of the resource at the beginning?
Actually I'm doing an exact copy of the file to the resource, and I also tried writing the lenght and removing the BM at the beginning, but nothing works.
I dont understand what you mean with "check the EXACT format of the bitmap"

hi
try this. First put a bitmap to your resource file using VS . then change that resource. next put the same bitmap using updateresource api. save that resource also. try comparing it. and try to catch out which bytes are missing ? This might lead you to a solution , i hopes

Good idea pal, I'll try and see what happens, thanks

I found the solution to this problem.
When you add a RT_BITMAP type resorce, the function UpdateResorce() adds a 14 Bytes header, I belive those bytes are a normal BMP header, so what I did is not copying those 14 bytes, and all worked great
<br />
char* buf = (char*)HeapAlloc (GetProcessHeap(), 0, dwBytesRead);<br />
memcpy (buf, lpBuffer + 14, dwBytesRead - 14);<br />
MSDN really sucks.
Thanks a lot for the feedback people

Hello All,
Suppose I have a class
class A
{
public:
void foo1 ();
//Other functions (possibly virtual)
private:
//private members go here
}
and I have a structure
struct S
{
A member1;
//Other members go here
}
what will be the effect of
struct S struc1;
struct S struc2;
1. memcpy (&struc1, &struc2, sizeof (S));
2. memset (&struc1, 0, sizeof(S));
I feel the memcpy should pose no problems but what about memset? What will happen to the virtual function table of the class?
Thanks in advance!

if you memset all A member to '\0', you gonna delete the A class virtual table, ,but that wont crash. it will crash only when a virtualized function gets called, because the adresse of the mapping table can't be reached (trying to access NULL address)...

In your example both memcpy and memset would be fine.
You have no virtual methods (so no vtable), nor have you specified A/S as having any other complex data types.
If A/S has even 1 virtual method then, as mentioned, memset will hose the vtable.
Likewise if A/S contains any pointers to other A/S objects then memcpy will likely screw them up.
You can likely get around the memset problem by following it with a placement new call.
e.g.
memset(&struc1, 0, sizeof(S));
new(&struc1) S;
...cmk

Since you are already using C++, there is no need to initialize nor copy your structure in the way you describe. struct in C++ is no different from class with the exception that its default protection is set to public. Knowing that, you should write your code as follows:
class A
{
public:
A();
A(const A& a);
A& operator= (const A& a);
void foo1();
private:
};
struct S
{
S();
S(const S& s);
S& operator= (const S& s);
A member1;
};
void main()
{
S s1;
S s2 = s1;
}

I have a Visual C++ 2005 MFC dialog application that minimizes to a task tray icon on clicking "X". I'd like to be able to change the tooltip message which you see when you hover over the icon dynamically whenever a certain value changes, in my case, temp of a cardbus device.
Right now it just displays the applications name because that's what I entered when i created the icon using this call:
TrayIcon->Create(0, nTrayNotificationMsg_, L"App Name",
m_hIcon, IDR_SYSTRAY_MENU);
Thanks for any help or links.

I'm sure exactly how this is done in MFC, or if you have used some VC2005 wizard for the minimize to tray feature. But when we minimize an app to the tray we need to create a NOTIFYICONDATA which contains all the info (icon, tooltip etc) then we use the Shell_NotifyIcon() function to add it to the tray. In your case you want to uppdate the tray icon, so you should use the Shell_NotifyIcon() function with the NIM_MODIFY flag.

Well that surprised me, there seems to be a class for everything else

After reading the article:
Enumerating processes : A practical approach By Irfan Dawood.
I found this really helpfull with what I have to do.
However, I only have the name of the application (hello.exe). The processInfo=new PROCESSENTRY32; has a member variable: szExeFile which is a:
"Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the executable file for the process. "
I figure after getting all the processes if I just search for my process using the name I can obtain the process ID of the "hello.exe" process therefore then be able to set the priority:
HANDLE hProcess=OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS,TRUE,processID);<br />
if(hProcess==NULL)<br />
{<br />
cout<<"Unable to get handle of process: "<<processID;<br />
cout<<"Error is: "<<GetLastError();<br />
return 1;<br />
}<br />
<br />
cout<<endl<<"Priority Class: "<<GetPriorityClass(hProcess);<br />
SetPriorityClass(hProcess,HIGH_PRIORITY_CLASS);<br />
CloseHandle(hProcess);
but whenever I try to do: if( processInfo->szExeFile == _T("hello.exe")) it doesn't work. and when I try to print out cout<<endl<<"Name: "<<processInfo->szExeFile; I get "Name: 0036630C"...
Am I completely off my rocker?
Thanks,

processInfo->szExeFile is a pointer. When you try comparing it or print it you are really testing the address. You should de-reference it first ie
if( *processInfo->szExeFile == _T("hello.exe"))
cout<<endl<<"Name: "<<*processInfo->szExeFile;
