send scsi command to usb device using DeviceIoControl method

21-Jul-09 0:29

Create a handler for the WM_DEVICECHANGE[^] message. You do not need to call RegisterDeviceNotification[^] to get notification for device insertion and removal.
Once you get a device insertion notification you can do a complete USB enumeration to check in which port your device is inserted.
Look at the USBView sample in the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) for enumerating USB devices.

As far as I know there is no standard IOCTL for making a USB removable disk/volume read-only. You can lock a volume on the drive with the FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME Control Code[^]. The following Microsoft help and support article will show you how to use the function. Have a look at the LockVolume() function.

If not when run GetProfileStringW, the program will got error.So,is that any way or function can auto generate the registry key in MFC environment? Confused | :confused:

Use the registry APIs instead of GetProfileString.
Look at the documentation for Registry Functions[^].

For example, you can create/open registry keys using RegCreateKeyEx, you can read registry values using RegQueryValueEx etc.

Callback to a Non static Member function in C++ need to be called from a DLL

Hi All,

I need to implment a callback to a Nonstatic member function of a class.
Which will be invoked through a DLL.DLL is an independent library.No dependency with the class.
I Implemented with a static function. I need to know how it will be for a non static member function.

My code is as follows for static implementation. I need to change it for a non static .Please help.

class CCallbackTester
{
public:
static int __stdcall CompareInts(const byte* velem1, const byte* velem2);
};

int __stdcall CCallbackTester::CompareInts(const byte* velem1, const byte* velem2)
{
int elem1 = *(int*)velem1;
int elem2 = *(int*)velem2;

if(elem1 < elem2)
return -1;
if(elem1 > elem2)
return 1;

return 0;
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
int i;
int array[] = {22, 1, 3210, 2109, 1098};

Bubblesort((byte*)array, 5, sizeof(array[0]),
&CCallbackTester::CompareInts);

cout << "After the sorting\n";
for(i=0; i<5; i++)
cout << array[i] << '\n';
getch();
}

in DLL Bubblesort is as follows.
void DLLDIR CALLBACK Bubblesort(byte* array, int size, int elem_size, CompareFunction cmpFunc)
{
for(int i=0; i<size; i++)
{
for(int j=0; j<size-1; j++)
{
if(1 == (*cmpFunc)(array+j*elem_size, array+(j+1)*elem_size))
{
byte* temp = new byte[elem_size];
memcpy(temp, array+j*elem_size, elem_size);
memcpy(array+j*elem_size, array+(j+1)*elem_size, elem_size);
memcpy(array+(j+1)*elem_size, temp, elem_size);
delete [] temp;
}
}
}
}

Thanks

A non-static member function is very much dependent on its class.
So you cannot use it for callbacks.

One way is to do this is like many callback procedures do - they pass along a user specified argument as a void pointer (PVOID). You can pass a pointer to one of your objects as the argument and use a static member of the same class for the callback procedure. Then in the callback procedure cast the void pointer to a pointer to your object and call your member method. As an example, your callback procedure could look something like this :

class YourClass
{
static int CompareCallback( ctchar * item1, ctchar * item2, void *ptr )
{
    if( ! ptr )
        return 0;
    YourClass * pObject = (YourClass *)ptr;
    return pObject->Compare( item1, item2 );
}
};

BTW : you can use this technique in a wide variety of callback scenarios like for thread procedures or window enumeration procedures or ...

How Do I Change StillCap Resolution

Tom Hubin20-Jul-09 19:49

Hello,

I have been working with the Watchport/V2 and Eyetoy webcams. All the reolutions and modes work fine with AmCap but I prefer the simplicity of StillCap for quick photos for a youngster's science project documentation.

The default resolution for StillCap seems to be 320x240 for images saved. I would prefer displaying and saving 640x480.

I used the Visual Studio 2003 Resource editor to increase the displayed size for the StillCap dialog box and the two webcam views.

I have poked around through the source code but cannot find where the camera resolution is set. How do I specify the webcam resolution to be 640x480, preferably as the default?

Thanx,
Tom

file share problem

york52820-Jul-09 16:55

20-Jul-09 16:55

I just wanna know how to share a big file, 3-4G

when using FileMapping, I only can share a file that not bigger than 1.5G

if bigger than that, I got an error of ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY

Thanks!

What exactly do you mean by share a big file?

york52820-Jul-09 18:41

20-Jul-09 18:41

I forgot.

It means to share a big file between multi-process

so all the processes can read the file

Thank you!~

«_Superman_»20-Jul-09 18:44

20-Jul-09 18:44

You could use CreateFile[^] with FILE_SHARE_READ|FILE_SHARE_WRITE as its share mode parameter.

not that problem

when I create a file mapping that the file is bigger than 1.5Gb

the CreateFileMapping return ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY

And I was wondering if I can map a big file (3-4G) to share in one time

that's what I want

for example I have a 3G file and 100 people wanna read it

so I wanna share it

that's the situation

Thank you !~

«_Superman_»20-Jul-09 19:48

20-Jul-09 19:48

Instead of mapping the file to memory, all 100 people can read it from disk using CreateFile and the share flags.

speed is important

IO is slower than file mapping

that's why I wanna use it

I would recommend reading the Microsoft article Creating a File Mapping Object[^]

Specifically the 'File Mapping Size' section where it states the following:

The size of a file mapping object that is backed by a named file is limited by disk space. The size of a file view is limited to the largest available contiguous block of unreserved virtual memory. This is at most 2 GB minus the virtual memory already reserved by the process.

Thank you so much

I read the book Programming Applications for Microsoft Windows by Jeffrey Richter

but biside file mapping

Is there another way to share a big file in one time

I always wanna find a better way

I think you should re-evaluate your application requirements. Do you *really* need to share 3 Gigabytes of a file between multiple processes? Why not share small sections of the file as needed? Have a look at the sample:

Creating a View Within a File[^]

You could use a similar technique and share 250 megabytes or more of the file at a time.
