Hi guys
I have been trying to compile an app in Visual Studio 2005(its a c++ app) but every time i run the proggy after compiling it, it looks like this:

After Compiling: Click Me[^]

although when i click on the Test Dialog button in Visual Studio 2005 it shows the apps layout like this:

Using Test Dialog: Click Me[^]

I started the project in Visual Studio 2005 and the first time when i compiled the app after adding just a simple button ,nothing else, it worked and my app was compiled in the VS2005 format although after adding som functions and stuff it compiled in Visual C++ 6 format!

Visual Studio 2005 Format: Click Me[^]

Visual C++ 6 Format: Click Me[^]

Now my problem is that i want the program to compile and have the style that it has when u click on Test Dialog. Like this:

I want the app to compile and look like this:Click Here[^]

Could someone please help me with this problem?

Thanks

The error is
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__<api name="">

I think this is the same error we get if the .lib could not be linked.

If I use the debug version of .lib, it links without any error.

Unless you have actual metrics, this is meaningless.

Flaviu_2006 wrote:

Do you just refuse to pay attention?

int nIndex = m_list.InsertItem(x, pPlan->m_name); 
m_list.SetItemText(nIndex, 1, pPlan->m_den);

If you are trying to (unnecessarily) populate the list control with thousands of items, that is probably your problem. How many items can you reasonably work with at any given time? Using a virtual list control has been suggested to you at least three times, yet you insist on not heeding the advice. I'm not saying it is the answer to your problem, but if you are too lazy to even try it, why bother asking for continued help?

didn't we answer this already ?

anyway, what is the bottleneck ? filling the list or reading from the database ?

You should use a virtual listctrl.

Hiya,

I'm making a program that'll copy random music directories (being cd's) onto my telephone memorycard. To test the basics, I first programmed a consoleapp that'll index all the dirs of my musicfolder. Below is the code thus far:

#include "stdafx.h"<br />
#include "windows.h"<br />
#include <iostream.h><br />
#include <string.h><br />
<br />
#define MAX_DIRECTORIES_CHECK	200<br />
<br />
typedef struct{<br />
	int index;<br />
	bool isEmpty;<br />
	char foldername[120];<br />
}foldernamestruct;<br />
<br />
foldernamestruct fns[MAX_DIRECTORIES_CHECK];<br />
<br />
int listDirectories(char* directory){<br />
	HANDLE hFile;<br />
	WIN32_FIND_DATA	FileInformation;<br />
<br />
	hFile = ::FindFirstFile(directory, &FileInformation);<br />
<br />
	if(hFile == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)<br />
		return 3;<br />
<br />
	strcpy(FileInformation.cFileName, fns[0].foldername);<br />
	fns[0].isEmpty = 0;<br />
	fns[0].index = 1;<br />
<br />
	printf ("First file name is %s.\n", FileInformation.cFileName);<br />
	printf(directory);<br />
	printf(FileInformation.cFileName);<br />
	printf("\n");<br />
	printf(fns[0].foldername);<br />
	printf("\n");<br />
<br />
	/*for(int i = 1; i<MAX_DIRECTORIES_CHECK;i++){<br />
		if(::FindNextFile(hFile, &FileInformation)==FALSE){<br />
			for(int j = i; j<MAX_DIRECTORIES_CHECK;j++)<br />
				fns[j].isEmpty = TRUE;<br />
			break;<br />
		}<br />
		else{<br />
			strcpy(FileInformation.cFileName, fns[i].foldername);<br />
			fns[i].isEmpty = FALSE;<br />
			fns[i].index = i+1;<br />
		}<br />
	}*/<br />
<br />
	return 1;<br />
}<br />
<br />
int main(int argc, char* argv[]){<br />
	char name[120];<br />
<br />
	for(int i = 0; i<MAX_DIRECTORIES_CHECK; i++){<br />
		fns[i].isEmpty = TRUE;<br />
		fns[i].index = -1;<br />
	}<br />
	<br />
	if(listDirectories("C:\\Documents and Settings\\User\\My documents\\My music")!=1)<br />
		return 1;<br />
<br />
	//printf("Found Handle \n\n");<br />
	/*for(i=0;i<MAX_DIRECTORIES_CHECK;i++){<br />
		strcpy(fns[i].foldername, name);<br />
		printf(name);<br />
		printf("\n");<br />
	}*/<br />
<br />
	cin >> name[4];<br />
	return 0;<br />
}

Now, I tried to test the whole by printing the foldernames using printf(), but why won't this work D'Oh! | :doh:

Have I done something wrong? Can someone help me find the answer...

Thanks

What doesn't work? Is it a compiler/linker error. Is an exception being thrown? Have you stepped through the code using the debugger?

Geennaam82 wrote:
foldernamestruct fns[MAX_DIRECTORIES_CHECK];

Why don't you use one of the STL containers so that you can handle any number of folders?

Geennaam82 wrote:
int listDirectories( char* directory )

Since directory is not changing, make it const.

int listDirectories( const char *directory )

ragnabob15-Sep-06 2:50

Hahahaha, good remark, didn't give any real error.

No the problem is that it does read the dir, as it doesn't exit with code 3. But the printf() of the directorynames don't display anything, while the other printf() with strings in them work perfectly. I'm working in VC6, since I got totally freaked while working in VC2005 with all the different string types. So the problem isn't a compile error or anything, the problem runs smoothly, but just doesn't print the foldernames.

Your strcpy() call looks odd. I think the arguments need to be reversed.

Can't see any "<"s or ">"s or what's between them. Can't read the code as it's poorly formatted (no indentation). If you don't want to make the effort to format the code nicely for us tick the "Ignore HTML tags in this message (good for code snippets)" checkbox when you post so we can see the tabs and such. Unless I'm in a really good mood or the question in particularly interesting I don't pay much attention if the code is too hard to read.

Hi Steve,

I'm sorry that my code is not good enough for you. It is ubersimple code! Got a main, got 1 function, that's it! I must admit that the indentations got removed when I copied the code, my appologies, didn't notice that. But still, instantly replying with this kinda rude reply wasn't necessary. Dave replied within 2 minutes and he figured it out correctly, even from the crappy format! I'll try to deliver better format in the future if you try to be a bit.... more patient.
