OK - standard C++ cannot help you, it knows nothing of file systems. Any calls you make will be system API calls.

Hi all,
I am trying to get an event in my application when the user clicks system menu of any window. I have tried to implement this using global hooks. I have made a DLL which is installing hook in the following manner:
HINSTANCE hins;
BOOL __declspec(dllexport)__stdcall installhook()
{
hkb=SetWindowsHookEx(WH_SYSMSGFILTER,(HOOKPROC)SysMsgProc,hins,0);
//hkb=SetWindowsHookEx(WH_CBT,(HOOKPROC)CBTProc,hins,0);
return TRUE;
}
where hins takes value from:
BOOL CHookdllApp::InitInstance ()
{
AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());
hins = AfxGetInstanceHandle();
return TRUE;
}
The Callback function:
LRESULT __declspec(dllexport)__stdcall CALLBACK SysMsgProc(int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
if(MSGF_MENU == nCode)
{
LPMSG msg = (LPMSG)lParam;
//if(WM_MENUSELECT == msg->message)
//if(WM_MENUCOMMAND == msg->message)
if(WM_SYSCOMMAND == msg->message)
{
OutputDebugString("\n Got it!! \n");
}
}
return CallNextHookEx( hkb, nCode, wParam, lParam );
}
In this callback function, I get the event WM_MENUSELECT from all windows but I am not getting WM_SYSCOMMAND event which I need because I want the event when user clicks the system menu of any window.
I also tried using WH_CBT, the callback function for this is:
LRESULT __declspec(dllexport)__stdcall CALLBACK CBTProc(int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
if(nCode < 0)
{
return CallNextHookEx( hkb, nCode, wParam, lParam );
}
else if(HCBT_SYSCOMMAND == nCode)
{
OutputDebugString("\n Got it!! \n");
}
return 0;
}
The problem with this hook is that I am getting events for the menu click from my application only and not from any other window.
Is there any way I can get these events?
Thanks in advance for yr help!

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and I wrote a DLL program in C. I want to add a status window to this DLL that creates a window and dynamically updates labels each time the DLL is called. What is the best and easiest way to do this? Should I use C++ and Windows Forms or use MFC?

Ok. In VC++.Net 05, I've compiled a dll containing a namespace from one project in the solution. I'm now trying to use that namespace in another project but it is throwing up linking errors for the object it's compiled for the 2nd project. I have added the dll to the References in the Project Properties but nothing. If I say
> using namespace DllData
the compiler says that DllClass (in the dll) is not a member of DllNamespace. This makes sense as Intellisense is not picking up DllNamespace in the first place. I've tried including the headers for the dll source from the 1st project (which seems a bit counterproductive to me), which helps compiling the object code but then crashes the linker when it can't find the object code for the dll!
I know I'm doing something stupid or not doing something obvious. Please help!

I have the task of making a library that we can use from c++ (windows and linux) and c#
So far I have one project that implements the basic functionality. Its plain old c++ and boost and can be built into a windows dll or a linux library. I call it the raw library.
I have a managed library project which will hopefully implement a wrapper around the raw library to make it available to c#
In my raw lib I have a class called Raw::Car (not really but its a good example)
Car has a number of events implemented with boost::function template
eg
boost::function<void (void)> Changed;
In my managed wrapper project I have a class called Managed::Car that has a private Raw::Car* member pointing to the 'real' car object.
I want Managed::Car to subscribe to the boost events in Raw::Car and raise dot net events when the events in Raw::Car are raised.
I cant pass a pointer to a function in Managed::Car to the boost event
eg
theRawCar->Changed = boost::bind(&Managed::Car::OnRawChanged, this);
error C3374: can't take address of 'Managed::Car::OnRawChanged' unless creating delegate instance
I guessing this is because the GC could move the function?
I thought I would create a non managed template that could subscribe to the boost event and call into the managed class to raise the dot net event but a non managed class or template cant have a reference to a managed class.
Can this be overcome by using a delegate? if so how?

This works but its ugly
typedef void (*FUNC_PTR)(void);
InstrumentChangedDelegateProc^ callBack = gcnew InstrumentChangedDelegateProc(this, &ManagedVault::Instrument::OnRawChanged);
System::IntPtr p = System::Runtime::InteropServices::Marshal::GetFunctionPointerForDelegate(callBack);
FUNC_PTR ptr = (FUNC_PTR)(System::IntPtr::operator void *(p));
theInstrument->Changed = boost::bind(ptr);

Hi to All,
I am new to use Tree View Control
I want to save the Tree control info into DB and retrive it back and generate the same tree control again for that can any one tell me
what r the minmum necessary values like Name,index ,parent......
to store in the DB and how to use those values to generate the tree again
Can any one explain me or give me the link of the similar example.
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
I had to do a similar thing on the project i'm working on, but instead of using a DB, I just wrote the 'structure' of the tree to an XML file. The top-level elements represented parent tree nodes, and any child nodes of the parent nodes were written as child elements. You could then just parse the XML file, creating TreeNodes as you go through the different XML elements.
Of course it depends on how much information you need to store. For me, all I really needed was the text of the nodes and the hierarchal structure.
I hope this helps buddy!

Hi All,
I've started a new application and I'm trying to keep it all C++/CLI based as opposed to MFC - as much for the exercise of getting to grips with the whole world of .NET as anything else.
I've tried to create a very simple "Singleton" class template with the following code in a "Class Library":
// singleton.h
template <class T>
public ref class Singleton
{
public:
static T^ Instance()
{
if ( nullptr == m_hInstance )
{
m_hInstance = gcnew T;
}
return m_hInstance;
}
private:
static T^ m_hInstance = nullptr;
};
//somefile.h
namespace A
{
public ref class B : public Singleton<A::B>
{
// some stuff in here, constructor/destructor kept private
};
};
In a separate "Windows Forms" application, I *try* use the following line:
A::B^ hTheThing = A::B::Instance();
...for some reason, it tells me that "Instance is not a member of A::B".
Now, if I comment out the "template" line and replace all instances of "T" with "int" in the "singleton.h" file, the following line works fine:
int^ hTheThing = A::B::Instance();
If I reinstate the "template" line but make no reference to "T" in the template body (ie: leave it all as int-based), the problem resurfaces.
Clearly I'm doing something wrong, but what exactly that is, I have no idea. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks
Zyrus
Ummm... yay...

Here is a non-template singleton:
ref class B
{
B(){};
static B^ m_hInstance = gcnew B;
public:
static B^ Instance()
{
return m_hInstance;
}
};
This code does not delay the initialization to first use. Nevertheless, in your code, the base class is trying to init a derived class' private ctor which is not accessible at that point.

hi,
i compiled the following code once in c++ and another time in managed c++.
In c++ it takes about 11 seconds to execute and in managed c++ it only takes 5 seconds to execute.
Why do i get twice the speed performance in managed c++ when my code is written completely in native c++ syntax?
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
double d1=0;
double a;
int i,j;
double d[100][100] ;
double e[100][100] ;
for (i=0;i<100;i++)
for(j=0;j<100;j++)
{
d[i][j] = 0.123456789;
e[i][j] = 0.123456789;
}
for(a=0;a<100000;a++)
{
for (i=0;i<100;i++)
for(j=0;j<100;j++)
{
d[i][j] = d[i][j] * e[i][j];
}
}

did you use the optimizing compiler (with the correct compiler switches set) for the native test?

i want to learn network programming using C++,someones would tell me how should i start and what websites and books should i enter? thanks

C++ ? or managed C++ ?
be careful, the 2 are fundamentaly different, even though they are based on the same language basis.
and never forget : google is your friend ! did you only searched the web for what you'd like to learn ? there are tons of examples, tutorials, articles about learning C++, and i don't even talk about the good old paper books...

I've got the source code for an ebook reader that was written for Linux (FBReader) and it uses the GTK+ library and C++. What I'd like to do is re-compile it in VC++ Express. I've got the runtime and developer versions of GTK+ for Windows (courtesy of GIMP) and I'd like to know how to get VC++ to use GTK+ libraries. I'm a Delphi person, with SOME exposure to C++ through the Borland Developer Studio C++ Builder. Does anyone have advice?

Hi All,
This is a very basic question which i need to know. I have a function that has multiple return statements. The code snippet is below:
extern "C"
int AFX_EXT_CLASS calculate(long lDate)
{
int i = 0L;
//finds diff between current date and lDate
i = FindDateDiff(lCurrentDate, lDate);
if(i < 10)
return 0;
if(i < 20)
return 1;
if(i < 30)
return 2;
if(i < 40)
return 3;
return 4;
}
I belive this function sometimes in some environment always returns 4 regardless of the value of i. Why?
I have read somewhere that multiple return statements in function is not good programming. Is this true?
Any suggestions appreciated.

No, but there are problems with this code. The "if" statements are not mutually exclusive. They could easily cause logical confusions. You should use "if{}else if{}else{}".
Best,
Jun

Thanks Jun. Ya I know but this was code existing in my application and the I suppose function sometime incorrectly returns 4.
I hope ur suggestion will solve my problem.

Hi,
I'm trying to dynamically load an unmanaged dll and call a function within it from a managed C++ app. I've managed to do this in an unmanaged C++ app, using calls to LoadLibrary and GetProcAdddress, but don't know what to do in the .NET version. I know there's P/Invoke, but with that the library has to be declared at compile-time, and I won't know the (unmanaged) library until run-time.
So i guess the question is how can I use the LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress functions in managed C++ (again not using P/Invoke, as the library won't be known until run-time)?
Thanks for your help

Actually, P/Invoking unmanaged DLL via DllImport() is dynamic loading. Until the program runs to that point, it won't check if the DLL exists or if the function call has right signature.
Best,
Jun

You can use the exact same code in your managed app too. Just #include the required header files, and link with the required import libs.
