The problem is using MFC in a console application. By default, the MFC socket classes need a
window to process socket events. You could get it to work with the proper MFC initialization in a console app but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble unless you're using other MFC classes.

You could try using direct calls to WinSock instead of using the MFC classes.

If you must use MFC then can you post the code used to initialize MFC?

Hi
I think your code have to work. Only a question, Have you create the console app with MFC options?

Clarification for David's question - Have you create the console app with MFC options?

MFC options mean In the preferences I set the option "Use MFC as a shared DLL". Is that you mean or some thing else? Alse the variable s is of type CSocket. Other than the above mentioned code I did not write any thing extra (Except declarations). l is a character array of size 20 and n is an int type. s,t are variables of type CSocket.

For Mark:
---------
I did not write any code related to MFC initialization. Please tell me what is that code to initialize MFC in a console based application. Also, Please mail me how to attach my code to a window in a console based application without that window to be displayed. I did not understand the statement "MFC socket classes need a window to process socket events". Did not understand means How to simulate that is thing I did not understand.

Does your app have a main() function or WinMain()?

If so, get rid of that and set the programs entry point (in linker options) to
wWinMainCRTStartup.

If you are using MFC then MFC handles the entry point for you and initializes itself.

As with any normal MFC app you'll need ONE global static object of a class dervived from CWinApp.
Override InitInstance() in this class and perform initialization there, including initializing
Windows Sockets with WSAStartup(). You don't need to create a main window for the app since it's
a console app.

CDateTimeCtrl ideal size

11-Jan-07 1:02

Hi,

does anyone know a trick how to get the ideal size for the CDateTimeCtrl to display all of its content in all formats it supports?

It doesn't resize itself to a proper size for its content and it seems it has alot of internal logic for sizing the various internal edit fields.

A simple GetWindowText() and GetOutputTextExent() doesn't work in all cases (i.e. when there are date/time formats set without leading zeros).

I know there is a special window message available on vista to fetch the ideal size of the CDateTimeCtrl, but what to do in previous windows versions ?

Many thanks,
Watz

Simplest way to display data in table form

You see, I'm not sure I really need a fully featured tabular control. I'm doing a fairly simple dialog based application using the AppWizard in VC++, which will load some ascii text files and display them in a table format. At some point in the future RS232 will read in new values but for now, it will be a case of editing a few edit controls and clicking a button to "push" a line of data into the table, comparing and doing some calculations on the way. I don't see that there'll be much need for the users to interact with the table other than I'd like at some point to be able to push that out to a print option

Is there an easy way to do this? I probably only need pointing in the right direction to start with.

You need to call AfxInitRichEdit to initialize rich edit control for app.
Call this function in your application.

I am getting error C2065: 'AfxInitRichEdit' : undeclared identifier

Dialog which I have created is from win32 Application and not from MFC.

Can u please tell me hw use rich edit box in win 32 application.

Use LoadLibrary for initializing rich edit control.
You main window procedure would look like this,

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT Message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
     switch(Message)
	 {
	 case WM_CREATE:
		  hLib = LoadLibrary("RICHED32.DLL");
                  break;   
         case WM_CLOSE:
		  DestroyWindow(hwnd);
		  FreeLibrary(hLib);
        	  break;
          ..

}

Its HMODULE. You can declare it as

HMODULE hLib;//of course you can decide how you want to manage it

I've just given example.
Only thing important, you need to load dll before invoking dialog.

Hi Prasad,

I did changes as u have mentioned.

But still no changes , still the dialog is not getting displayed which contains rich edit box.If i remove the Rich edit control Dialog is getting displayed.

I have 3 dialogs one main another sub dialogs , in the sub dialog I have the rich edit control.

The main MainDlgProc

<br />
BOOL CALLBACK MainDlgProc(HWND hwnd, UINT Message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)<br />
{<br />
	HMODULE hLib;<br />
	switch(Message)<br />
	{<br />
<br />
		case WM_CREATE:<br />
		  hLib = LoadLibrary("RICHED32.DLL");<br />
            break;

and the sub dialog DlgProc

<br />
BOOL CALLBACK SearchDlgProc(HWND hwnd, UINT Message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)<br />
{<br />
	HMODULE hLib;<br />
	switch(Message)<br />
	{<br />
		case WM_CREATE:<br />
		  hLib = LoadLibrary("RICHED32.DLL");<br />
            break;   <br />

Dear ! dear !
I mentioned in earlier reply, you need to load library before invoking dilaog. I'd assumed , you main application window is not dialog window in question, and window procedure I mentioned is of main window. So use given procedure with main window.
You should get idea from this snippet,

 hLib = LoadLibrary("RICHED32.DLL");
 ret = DialogBox(GetModuleHandle(NULL), 
  MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_MYDLG), hwnd, MyDlgProc);
  if(ret == -1)
  {
     MessageBox(hwnd, "Dialog failed!", "Error",
						MB_OK | MB_ICONINFORMATION);
   }
FreeLibrary(hLib );

How to get value in 16 bit interger from buffer..thanks in advance.

uint16_t value;

buffer->buf[buffer->buf_end++] = 0x03; //1 byte
buffer->buf[buffer->buf_end++] = 0xe8; //1 byte

Play it again, Sam?

value = (buffer->buf[buffer->buf_end-2]) << 8 | (buffer->buf[buffer->buf_end-1]);

Note that if yoou load the buffer in reverse order the you can do the quick and dirty:

value = *((unsigned short *)& buffer[buffer->buf_end-2] );

If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

uint16_t value;<br />
<br />
value = 0x03; //1 byte<br />
value * 256; <br />
value += 0xe8; //1 byte<br />

Multiplying by 256 shifts the bits to the left by 8 bits (thus 1 byte).

Cpallini already answered your question but I am curious to know why you are using ‘uint16_t’. The reason I ask is that other than making it clear that it is a 16-bit value, I can only guess why Microsoft has even defined it as a type. As you may know an ‘unsigned short’ is defined in C, and C++, as a 16-bit value and therefore redefining it makes little since to me.
