No problem.
I haven't used Borland in many years but I would start here[^].
I'm not sure what kind of script you're looking for but if you look at the list of message boards
at the top of this page you may find a more appropriate board to post the question on.
Good luck!

hi!
can someone give me a sample code on how to pass 2 different structs to a function with lpvoid as parameter and how to convert back to the structs from lpvoid.
the structs should be received by the lpvoid... how to combine the 2 different structs together? and how to split the lpvoid back to the 2 structs?
the structs are something like
typedef struct
{ int dataStructCount;
DWORD totalSize;
} strHeader;
typedef struct
{ int num;
lptstr str;
} dataStruct;
this will be used for writing and reading data from named pipe.. the header will be used to determine the count of dataStruct send/read.
thanks for any help!

Newbie,
First of all, you are in the wrong forum! This is the C++/CLI or Managed C++ forum. C++/CLI uses the .NET Framework and depends on Garbage Collection (GC) for memory management. It appears you are writing C or possibly C++ code. You should get better assistance int the Visual C++/MFC forum.
However, LPVOID is really a typedef of void*. Thus, LPVOID is a pointer to any type. Unfortunately, once a pointer of a type, in your case strHeader and dataStruct, is casted to a void pointer, LPVOID, its type information is lost. Thus, if you have a function that accepts void pointers, the compiler will not help you with type checking.
void Foo(LPVOID header, LPVOID data)
{
strHeader* theHeader = (strHeader*) header;
dataStruct* theData = (dataStruct*) data;
}
int main()
{
strHeader header;
dataStruct data;
Foo(&strHeader, &dataStruct);
return 0;
}

oooopppss! sorry! i did not notice the message board... i thought i was posting in vc++/mfc forum...
i have reposted the qxn there...
thanks for your reply!
however, for the foo function... i only have 1 LPVOID paramter...
thus the strHeader and dataStruct should be combined together and passed as 1 data to function Foo....

Hi
I'd like to be able to take a set of bitmaps and write them to an avi file without having to use vfw or anything platform specific since it has to be cross-platform
i don't need audio or anything else - just a sequence of images - any ideas?
|

hi
thanks for the reply but that article show's how to load an avi file as a resource - what i need to do is save a sequence of images as an avi file without using vfw.

|

If cross-platform is your goal, then using C++/CLI that depends on the .NET Framework would be a bad idea. You are in the wrong forum.

I'm trying to understand how I can create a DLL that contains a wrapper (managed code), to use a C++ (unmanaged) class using C# or VB.NET.
I found some articles (es http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/WrappingUsingManagedCpp.asp[^])that suggest this way:
(SimpleClass is my C++ class)
namespace Managed{<br />
public __gc class WrappClass<br />
{<br />
private:<br />
SimpleClass* pClass;<br />
public:<br />
WrappClass(){ pClass=new SimpleClass()}<br />
~WrappClass(){ delete pClass; }<br />
int Foo();<br />
};<br />
}<br />
It will be well compiled...but the linker tells that operators 'new' and 'delete' are unknown (error LNK2020)....
What is wrong??? I wrote only 20 code lines!!
Is there some settings in Visual Studio to solve this problem?
Have you got some link to a simple project like mine ... that is working?
Thanks
Cheers,
Russell

Looks like you are using VC++ 2005. If you want to use the old syntax, you need to specify /clr:oldsyntax in the compiler settings.
But I'd recommend that you use the new syntax instead.

mmm...no, I'm using VS2003 (recently updated from internet with some patches).
i tryed to use /clr:oldsyntax....but it doesn't know this option (the option /clr it is just included into che command line).
I also tryed to use gcnew (instead new) but it is an unknown command.
it is driving me crazy
thanks
Cheers,
Russell

Ok, VC 2003 only has the old syntax (you don't need to use /clr:oldsyntax and it's not even an option anyway). You cannot use keywords like gcnew with it because those are all C++/CLI syntax added in VC++ 2005.
You should look for articles/books focusing on the old syntax (usually called MC++ or Managed C++).

Nish

Many thanks
Sorry to disturb you again, but the problem looks bigger:
I create a new very simple project: a class library in VC NET, it is the only one file that I edited...
<br />
<br />
#pragma once<br />
<br />
using namespace System;<br />
<br />
namespace LibreriaDiClassiCppNET<br />
{<br />
public __gc class Class1<br />
{<br />
Class1(){<br />
}<br />
~Class1(){<br />
}<br />
void Foo(){<br />
int* p;<br />
p=new int;<br />
delete p;<br />
}<br />
<br />
};<br />
}<br />
errors came during the link process...it don't like new and delete operator.
If I cut that 2 lines then the DLL is created (OK, it is empty, but it works)
Can you tell me why?
Cheers,
Russell

Hi,
the error is LNK2001 in doth cases ('new' and 'delete' operators).
It tells
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void * __cdecl operator new(unsigned int)" (??2@$$FYAPAXI@Z)
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl operator delete(void *)" (??3@$$FYAXPAX@Z)
As you can see the compiler works, the problem is the linker....but i haven't change anything into the settings of the solution: it is a new project (library of classes in C++ NET).
I think that I'm missing some rule that tells that I can't use 'new' and 'delete' into the dll in classes in managed code,...but, if exist, it looks like a very strange rule! : this operators are basically and very important in C++ (managed or unmanaged).
Let me know, thanks
Cheers,
Russell

Russell,
Since you are using native C++ wrapped in Managed C++, I believe you must include stdio.h and any applicable libraries. Managed C++ actually uses __gc new to create managed objects. Also, you need to be aware of the VS 2003 MC++ loader lock problem. Please, read: http://www.codeproject.com/scrapbook/semicolon_2.asp[^]. After dealing with that issue (and others) for years, I was very happy to upgrade to 2005 and learn the new syntax.

Hi.
I'm calling managed (C#) code from (unmanaged) Fortran. The Fortran code uses an unmanaged C/C++ Flat API (in a DLL), which calls into a managed C++ wrapper (currently in a separate DLL), which then calls into C# code...
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 for everything except the Fortran stuff. The Fortran code is built with Visual Studio 6.0. I have to use it because that's what the Fortran coders use.
How do I go about debugging my Fortran-to-C# bridge? Can I somehow launch an instance of VS 2005, load my DLLs, and attach to the running Fortran process to debug it? Or is there a way to debug using VS 6.0? Will I have to resort to WinDBG or something (which I've never used)?
Help. Thanks.

OK, let me reply to my own post to be more specific. I have more information.
I understand how to specify the executable for a C++ DLL (managed or unmanaged). When I do that and "Start New Instance" from VS, the executable launches as expected. However, when I try to do something that should stop me at a breakpoint, I see VS "wake up" in the sense that my breakpoint becomes live (red dot), and it even acts a little like I'm stopped at the breakpoint. But I don't see a current statement pointer, and I can't step through the code. What am I missing?
Furthermore, there doesn't seem to be an option to do something similar from a C# assembly (DLL). This is a C++ forum, of course, so I suppose that question isn't appropriate here. But it all seems related.
Help appreciated. Thanks.
Just Mike

I'm having a discussion with my collueage regarding the correct coding style for
declaration of property in Interface Class, and we disagree with each other.
Can Somebody give some input to out discussion?
Which below code has a best coding style??
The difference between ex1 and ex2 is that get() and set() functions
of property Counter are explicitely declared in ex2, evenif it is
not necessary to do so in CLI.
ex1:
public Interface Class MyClass{
public:
property int Counter;
};
ex2:
public Interface Class MyClass{
public:
property int Counter
{
int get();
void set(int value);
}
};

It doesn't matter. However, ex2 will allow you to have a property without one of the "accessors".
public interface class ITest
{
property int Value;
};
public ref class Test1 : ITest
{
public:
virtual property int Value;
};
public ref class Test2 : ITest
{
int m_value;
public:
virtual property int Value
{
int get()
{
return m_value;
}
void set(int value)
{
m_value = value;
}
}
};
public ref class Test3: ITest
{
int m_value;
public:
property int Value
{
virtual int get()
{
return m_value;
}
virtual void set(int value)
{
m_value = value;
}
}
};
public interface class ITest2
{
property int Value
{
int get();
void set(int value);
}
};
public ref class Test4: ITest2
{
int m_value;
public:
virtual property int Value
{
int get()
{
return m_value;
}
void set(int value)
{
m_value = value;
}
}
};
public ref class Test5 : ITest2
{
public:
virtual property int Value;
};
public ref class Test6: ITest2
{
int m_value;
public:
property int Value
{
virtual int get()
{
return m_value;
}
virtual void set(int value)
{
m_value = value;
}
}
};

 I am using C++ 2005 with Visual Studio. When I set a breakpoint and the application stops at that breakpoint I want to step into the method that is being called. F11 is supposed to step into the method but it behaves exactly as pressing F10 (step over). I want to be able to step into a function but I can't. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?
Thanks,
Buck

Are you using C++/CLI ? There are forums for vanilla C++, and for IDE issues.
