Handling exception - C / C++ / MFC Discussion Boards

Neither! I don't even get an underscore. Anybody every heard of a library USB.dll with these methods?

USBCheck
USBClearDeviceBuffer
USBClose
USBGetError
USBGetStatus
USBOpen
USBRead
USBSetSerial
USBStopSerial
USBWrite

/\ |_ E X E GG

I was looking thought this library in the dissembler(pe explorer) and noticed that USBOpen is just a wrapper for doing standard USB HID stuff. But I really dont know what I'm looking at, all I can make sense of is the calls to windows API functions like CreateFile...

If anybody wants to take a look and give me info, the .dll is here:
http://www.wpmc2006.org/uploads/usb.dll[^]

I really need to know what USBRead is doing. Also, USBSetSerial is really strange, I have no idea what that could be....

PS. this is all for a weather station (Oregon scientific wmr100a). I'm trying to talk to it via C#.

Right now I can read data from the device, but it's strange 'cause the HID class says that the report length is only 9 wide, now why would a weather station with 100s of readings only return 9 numbers per read? I know this is weird because it comes with weather station software (it's using usb.dll) and it is getting all kinds of readings, so i'm thinking it's not sticking to the HID standard and just using that so it doesn't nag for drivers when you plug it into windows.... but i really don't know.

Million thanks for your mail. I need an advice on how to write C++ codes for Runge-Kutta algorithm to colve four first-order ODE. I am able to write Runge-Kutta code to solve just only one Differential equation but i'm haing problem with 4 at a time.

The equations are

dQ1/dt = w1

dw1/dt = (tau1 - 2*m2(r2*r2/4 -h2*h2/3 -d*d) * om1*om2*sintetha2*costetha2 - m2*g*d*costetha1*costetha2)/
om1*(m1(ra*ra + rb*rb)/4 + m1(h1*h1)/3 + m2((r2*r2)(1+sinsqtetha2)/4 + m2*h2*h2*cossqtetha2/3 + m2*d*d*cossqtetha2);
}

dQ2/dt = w2

dw2/dt = (tau2 + (m2(r2*r2/4 -h2*h2/3 -d*d)*om1*om1*sintetha2*costetha2) - m2*g*d*sintetha1*sintetha2)/
om2*m2(r2*r2/4 + h2*h2/3 + d*d)

The following are constants
#define n (int) 2
#define m1 (float) 0.05
#define m2 (float) 0.03
#define r1 (float) 0.04
#define r2 (float) 0.06
#define ra (float) 0.04
#define rb (float) 0.06
#define l (float) 0.05
#define d (float) 0.02
#define acc_due_gravity (float) 9.81
#define h (double) 0.01;

Thanks for your help.

Are you wanting to solve them simultaneously (i.e., multiple threads)? Confused | :confused:

BTW, there is no need to create multiple posts for the same question.

Dear Chris,

Sorry, I thought I have emailed you back.

Unfortunately, the equation that I typed with MS Word editor is still not showing despite the fact that I checked the ignore the html text editor box.

Could you please, answer this question for me

Is it necessary to create a constructor when you are dealing with things like mathematical formulae that involves using classes?

Thanks for your prompt response.

I'm developing a MFC application using ADO to connect to a local SQL Server database.
And I have troubles catching the exceptions.
Here is my connection code:

const LPCSTR STRING_CONNECTION = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;User ID=sa;Initial Catalog=Northwind;Data Source= (local); Integrated Security=SSPI;";

<br />
BOOL Connect(_ConnectionPtr& pCone)<br />
{<br />
_bstr_t bstrCone(STRING_CONNECTION); <br />
<br />
try<br />
{<br />
<br />
pCone.CreateInstance (__uuidof(Connection));<br />
<br />
// If the following line fails, I can't handling the error<br />
pCone->Open (bstrCone ,_bstr_t (""), _bstr_t (""), adModeUnknown );<br />
<br />
return TRUE;<br />
}<br />
catch (_com_error* ce) // NEVER reach that catch, even forcing an error.<br />
{<br />
watch_com_error(ce); <br />
return FALSE;<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
void watch_com_error(_com_error *e)<br />
{<br />
CString msgErr; <br />
_bstr_t bstrSource= e->Source(); <br />
_bstr_t bstrDescri=e->Description(); <br />
<br />
msgErr.Format (_T("ADO - COM Error\n\tCode = %08lx\n\tSource = %s\n\tDescription = %s\n"),<br />
e->Error(),(LPCSTR)bstrSource, (LPCSTR)bstrDescri);<br />
<br />
msgErr.Format (_T("ADO - COM Error\n\tCode = %08lx\n\tSource = %s\n\tDescription = %s\n"),<br />
e->Error(),(LPCSTR)bstrSource, (LPCSTR)bstrDescri);<br />
<br />
AfxMessageBox( msgErr, MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR );<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />

The connection works. The problem is handling exceptions.

If I change the string connection to force a COM ERROR, it throw an unhandled exception instead of reach the _com_error handle.
And if I change the _com_error catch by a CException object to intercept generics exceptions, it still throwing an unhandled exception.
What is wrong here?

Add another catch block with ... parameters (unless you can find out exactly what type of exception is being thrown):

try
{
	pCone.CreateInstance (__uuidof(Connection));
	// If the following line fails, I can't handling the error
	pCone->Open (bstrCone ,_bstr_t (""), _bstr_t (""), adModeUnknown );
	return TRUE;
}
catch (_com_error* ce) // NEVER reach that catch, even forcing an error.
{
	watch_com_error(ce);
	return FALSE;
}
catch (...)
{
	return FALSE;
}

Also, check to make sure that ADO is throwing a pointer and not a _com_error& reference (I can't remember which it does off hand).

Yes Zac, you are right!.

Wrong type, it's a reference instead a pointer.

Thank you very much.

Kind regards.

i am attempting to simulate the dynamics of a 2-link pan-tilt robot. Two second order ODE were generated. As a requirement of the Runge-Kutta, each of the two second-order ODE was converted to 2 first order ODE thereby making four equations in all.

I was not using a class before and I just started packing the four equation into classes.

For further explanation or clarification, please, mail me to olaskg@yahoo.ie.

Thank you.

For a client application, after sending a string to the server,
I want to receive 2 strings from the server separately.
But the second recv() call quite often receive NULL.
How can I solve this problem?
(give a delay for it is sometimes better, but NOT always work)
Thanks!

Receive NULL returned from recv or NULL for number of bytes received?

1) Make sure both strings get sent.
2) Make sure you wait for both strings to get to the client.
You'll need to poll or wait for an FD_READ event/notification from the socket
and REPEAT until you've received the number of bytes you are expecting.

TCP knows nothing about "strings". It only knows a stream of bytes.
It is up to you to know how many bytes to send and receive and to reassemble them into "strings",
"packets", etc. on the receiving end.

Mark

After receiving the first string, the buffer is cleared (set '\0' to all indices).
After the second recv(), the buffer is still all '\0'.
I am sure that the server has sent 2 strings to the application (client).
The condition is that the second recv() sometimes can receive the correct string, but often receives NULL.

recv() holds the application progress.
Once it finished, the application can go on.
It returned BOOL TRUE so it succeeded but actually nothing is received......

Please help.
Thanks.

can you post the code you use to send and the code you use to receive?

What is the return value from recv()? Is it the number of bytes sent? Less than that?
Is it 0?

Smile | :)

Mark,
I do NOT have the code now.
I post it ~8 hr later.

I created a tab ctrl derived from CTabCtrl.
I want to change the border style,so I paint it myself.
But I find that if xp theme enabled,
my tabctrl doesn't have a yellow header on the top of the item.
Infact ,I like the yellow header.

Is there any way that I can onwer draw a tab ctrl,and there is a yellow header if xp theme enabled?

Thank you Smile | :)

Tricky.. To get the "XP feel" you'd have to use the theme API to draw the tab, but then you'd have to paint your borders after you have drawn the tab with the theme API. Make sure to test your UI with several themes though, to make sure that your additions are general enough, so that it doesn't look bad when using other themes (or no themes for that matter).

There are a bunch of theme API articles on Codeproject if you need specific help on how to program it. Also make sure to lookup the Theme Explorer article here, as it'll help you ALOT to find out what state/part combination draws what. Smile | :)

Good luck!
