The reason that in the Output view will be alot of output lines over 40000 lines and the a view derived from CEditView or CRichEditView will not give it on the screen like it should without using a very complicated code, so i am must use a view derived from CView. I used CreateCaret and ShowCaret() but they did not solve the problem.

I'm trying to write the contents of a struct to a file in binary mode, and I'm not quite getting the output I'm expecting.
the struct looks more or less like this;
struct myStruct
{
char c[2];
unsigned int i1;
unsigned short s1;
unsigned short s2;
unsigned int i2;
};
Then I'm filling the struct with the following data...
myStruct temp = {{'A', 'B'}, 0x46, 0x0, 0x0, 0x36};
Finally, I write it to a file...
std::string path = "C:/";
std::ofstream file(path.c_str(), std::ios::out | std::ios::binary);
if(!file)
{
std::cout << "Unable to open file \"" << path << "\" for writing.\n";
return false;
}
file.write(reinterpret_cast<char *>(&temp), sizeof(myStruct));
The file writes successfully but I don't get the output I'm expecting (in hex: 4142 4600 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 3600 0000). Instead I am getting 4100 4200 4600 0000 0000 0000 3600 0000 2800 (hex)
Now, I have a feeling this is something to do with the byte alignment of the struct, so I tried changing the struct's declaration to
#pragma pack(push) /* push current alignment to stack */
#pragma pack(1) /* set alignment to 1 byte boundary */
struct myStruct
{
char c[2];
unsigned int i1;
unsigned short s1;
unsigned short s2;
unsigned int i2;
};
#pragma pack(pop) /* restore original alignment from stack */
but that didn't work.
I also tried this:
__declspec(align(1)) struct myStruct
{
char c[2];
unsigned int i1;
unsigned short s1;
unsigned short s2;
unsigned int i2;
};
but that didn't have any effect either. What is going on here and how can I fix it?

The following code (i.e. your first proposal), gives the expected output on my system
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#pragma pack(push) /* push current alignment to stack */
#pragma pack(1) /* set alignment to 1 byte boundary */
struct myStruct
{
char c[2];
unsigned int i1;
unsigned short s1;
unsigned short s2;
unsigned int i2;
};
#pragma pack(pop)
void main()
{
myStruct temp = {{'A', 'B'}, 0x46, 0x0, 0x0, 0x36};
std::string path = "foo.bin";
std::ofstream file(path.c_str(), std::ios::out | std::ios::binary);
if(!file)
{
std::cout << "Unable to open file \"" << path.c_str() << "\" for writing.\n";
return;
}
file.write(reinterpret_cast<const char *>(&temp), sizeof(temp));
}

First you create a myStruct struct called temp:
Sauce! wrote: temp = {{'A', 'B'}, 0x46, 0x0, 0x0, 0x36};
Then you write to your file from header using sizeof(headerBMP)
Sauce! wrote: file.write(reinterpret_cast<const char="" *="">(&header), sizeof(headerBMP));
This is not consistent. Where is header and what is its structure and size, and what is the size of headerBMP?
Also the characters 'A' and 'B' would appear to be Unicode hence being written as 4100 and 4200.

ah, you caught me!
Must have missed that bit when I was simplifying the code to make it easier on you guys. You can ignore that. The correct line should read...
file.write(reinterpret_cast(&temp), sizeof(myStruct));
with regards to 'A' and 'B', how can I make them strictly ascii? Turns out I was compiling a unicode project, but changing it to mbcs doesn't change anything.
I'm running win7 64 bit if that changes anything.

I have also run it on my (Windows 7, 32 bit) system and results are as expected. The default value for char is ASCII on this system so maybe there is something in your project settings that is forcing it to Unicode.

Hi,
if you can modify the struct any way you want, I suggest you reorder its content from largest to smallest item, that way no padding will be applied, hence no padding instructions will be necessary.
Like so:
unsigned int i1;
unsigned int i2;
unsigned short s1;
unsigned short s2;
char c[2];
If that is not possible, you must make sure all parties involved use the same padding rules.

Unfortunately I can't change the order of the struct's members because I'm trying to write the header for a bmp file. Is there anything else I can do?
edit: packing works fine now :S strange.

sure, one of three things:
1. explain to the compiler exactly what it is you need, using switches and/or pragma directives, as others already told you
2. write(or read) your struct with explicit code, one statement for each field, using the method/function that fits the type of the field
3. don't use a struct at all; use a byte array, and write into/read from it using methods that deal with individual bytes and perform the necessary conversion from/to multi-byte data types, such as
int x=(((array[y+3]<<8)|array[y+2])<<8)|array[y+1])<<8)|array[y+0];
BTW: if you don't like/trust such code, you can also use a local union of a small byte array and the type of interest.

If I have strings(variables) in my application, does these strings present in the string table of exe?
|
|
|
|
|
A string constant in your inline code (e.g. printf("A string");) is compiled into the data portion of the object file. Such a string can be found in the exe by reading the entire file and looking for 'printable' characters. However only strings that are declared in resource string tables can be found using the FindResource() function.

I have to display all the strings present in an EXE file (i.e. compiled CPP file present in debug folder). How do i do this? I have written the following code. Can u please tell me what the problem is?.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "windows.h"
#include "tchar.h"
#include "stdio.h"
#include "string.h"
BOOL CALLBACK MyStringCB(HMODULE some_library,LPCTSTR RT_String,LPTSTR buffer,LONG_PTR aux_param);
char buffer[200];
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{DWORD S;
LPCTSTR RT_String=NULL;
LONG_PTR aux_param=NULL;
BOOL q,r;
HMODULE some_library = LoadLibrary("C:/Hi/Debug/Hi.exe");
q= MyStringCB(some_library,RT_String,buffer,aux_param);
r=EnumResourceNames(some_library, RT_STRING, MyStringCB, aux_param);
S=GetLastError();
return 0;
}
BOOL CALLBACK MyStringCB(HMODULE some_library,LPCTSTR RT_String,LPTSTR buffer,LONG_PTR aux_param)
{ DWORD startId = ((DWORD)buffer - 1) * 16;
DWORD i, endId = startId + 16;
for (i = startId ; i < endId; ++i)
{ LoadString(some_library, i,buffer,sizeof(buffer));
}
return TRUE;
}

You are loading the string but you do not diplay it anywhere...

After displaying buffer value am getting a Blank Screen

Sorry, but this really does not explain your problem. From some of your other questions and answers I suggest you may need to study this item on Resources.

Literals are NOT stored in the string table, if I guessed what are you asking...

I have printed "Hi" in my application.
If I want to retrieve "Hi" from an EXE.
What should I do?
|
|
|
|
|
Put your strings into a stringtable.
|
|
|
|
|
That's what how to put it into string table and then how to display it from EXE?
|
|
|
|
|
Create a resource file (.rc) and add your string(s) to the stringtable. Then you can simply load the strings with LoadString() or CString::LoadString() if you are using MFC.
|
|
|
|
|
Isn't there a string table which is automatically made?
How to retrieve from that string table?
|
|
|
|
|
Are you the same person as the thread starter? Or do you just have the exact same problem?
Anyway, it very much depends on how you created your application. If you used a Visual Studio wizard then you will possibly already have a resource script included in your project, depending on which app type you chose.
If not - and you are using Visual Studio - it's very simple to add resources to your project. Look at the documentation.

Hi all,
i want to use Menu on right click of ListCtrl,
i m using this code
void CTest::OnNMRClickList(NMHDR *pNMHDR, LRESULT *pResult)
{
LPNMITEMACTIVATE pia = (LPNMITEMACTIVATE)pNMHDR;
UINT flags;
DWORD pos = GetMessagePos();
CPoint point(LOWORD(pos), HIWORD(pos));
m_List.ScreenToClient(&point);
int nItem = m_List.HitTest(point, &flags);
HMENU hMenu = ::CreatePopupMenu();
if (NULL != hMenu)
{
::AppendMenu(hMenu, MF_STRING, 1, "Test1");
::AppendMenu(hMenu, MF_SEPARATOR,2, "");
::AppendMenu(hMenu, MF_STRING, 3, "Test2");
::AppendMenu(hMenu, MF_SEPARATOR,4, "");
::AppendMenu(hMenu, MF_STRING, 5, "Test3");
ClientToScreen(&point);
int sel = ::TrackPopupMenuEx(hMenu,TPM_LEFTALIGN|TPM_RETURNCMD,point.x,point.y,m_hWnd,NULL);
switch(sel)
{
case 1:
{
}
break;
case 3:
{
}
break;
case 5:
{
}
break;
}
}
*pResult = 0;
}
its working fine only one problem is here its not popup the menu on tip of mouse cursor.
please tell me where i m wrong.
please help me .
thanks in advance.
