The ProgID can be determined both by looking at the registry or looking in your .RGS file
You're probably having a bug in VC 6.0 without any service pack. It had a bug when creating an ATL COM component and the default ProgID of your project probably is ATLFIRSTPROJLib.MyATLServ.1

Apply the Service Pack 5 of Visual C++ to solve this and other bugs.

service pack 5?

Just wondering what u meant when u recommended SP5. i am having installation problem (on SP5) and not sure if i should download the service pack coz it doesnt say anything about bug fix on ASP/ATL-COM. Here's the link.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q280367&

anyway, i thought i got it last nite. I think i successfully CreateObject.

but i am getting the following error now:

Error Type:
Server object, ASP 0177 (0x80004002)
No such interface supported
/AddNumber_action.asp, line 16

can u elaborate a little more on rgs file? and also, there's nothing in the regisrty that says "progID"... just a bunch of GUIDs.

Thanks

I'm not sure in which specific Service Pack it was fixed, I recommended the SP5 because it's the latest one and carry all the fixes the previous SP had.

But, as I've said, it will fix THE WIZARD, so, only new projects will be affected by it.

Getting Mouse Cords while its over a owner drawn button

Hi.

I was wondering if anybody can tell me how to get the mouse cords while it it over an owner drawn button..

I'm getting the WM_MOUSEMOVE while its over the main dialog, but as it goes over any button it dosn't get the message.

what I am trying to do is make a simple bitmap font editor, and I was thinking of using a button to draw the grid for editing the graphic.

I'm not using MFC (its all H handles (HWND, HBRUSH etc..)

many thanks.

Chris

I haven't used it, but I need to do something similar, take a look at this article that talks about TRACKMOUSEEVENT.

http://www.codeproject.com/buttonctrl/hoverbutton.asp

I don't know if the sample is right or not, but trackmouseevent could be your starting point to solve your problem.

hope this helps...

Thanks for the link, but it only gives you events when the mouse enters or leaves the button...

I want to be able to get the mouse cords in relation to a window..

its either that or can somebody give me an idea of a control to use to render the grid.. owner draw buttons work really well for that as you can draw everything yourself.. the static frame, rectangle even if you get the DC for the object don't change if you draw drectly to the DC..

Cheers

User requirements?

I know this is the wrong thread, but I only got a response on ATL in the other thread....

Are there any special requirements/dlls/etc. that your users computers need if you implement ATL / WTL / STL ? New to this area.

I am thinking of trying it out, and pointers would help. Thanks

ATL: Not if you use the MinDependency build target, which is recommended due to hassles with atl.dll (there are two builds, one for 9x one for NT, and there are backward-compatibility issues).
WTL: WTL itself needs no DLLs, however it is an extension to ATL.
STL: Uses the CRT, so you can either link the CRT in statically (again, the recommended way) or redistribute the CRT DLLs (ugh!)

never used WTL.

for STL, you really don't need anything else.

for ATL, you might need something, depending on what your app does: if you do database stuff, you might need MDAC, etc.. but, in general no, you don't need anything unless you build "Min Size" builds, then you have to ship with a (very small) ATL dll.

How to change number data from base 256 to base 16?

If I have these below data (base 256)

<br />
data[0] = 154; // 9A in base 16<br />
data[1] = 203; // CB in base 16<br />
data[2] = 15;   // 0F in base 16<br />
data[3] = 54;   // 38in base 16<br />
data[4] = 248; // F8 in base 16<br />
data[5] = 175; // AF in base 16<br />

and I want to change data(base 256) to Ctring which have format in base 16 character

<br />
CString m_data;<br />
m_data = "9ACB0F38F8AF";<br />

Do you know how to do that?
Thank you for your answer.

You can do something like this, assuming data is some kind of integer type:

<br />
CString m_data;<br />
m_data.Format(_T("%X%X%X%X%X%X"), data[0], data[1], data[2], data[3],data[4],data[5]);<br />

Assuming data is an array of int:

m_data.Format ( _T("%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X"), 
                data[0], data[1], data[2],
                data[3], data[4], data[5] );

Actually what you have is a decimal number (Base 10) where the maximum value is 256, and you want to convert that to a hexidecimal or Base 16 number.

You should be able to use the Format member function of the CString class to convert each byte for you.

I have an MDI program. One of the dialog boxes carries out some calculations and writes them to a file. I would like the program to open the file automatically. The file name will be known. The user defines it in the dialog box.

Thanks

The MDI program is a text editor. I would like the file to be visable as if the user had opened it with the file open dialog box. Is this still covered with IOstreams?

Re: doc/view

Christian Graus5-Nov-02 11:59

Absolutely - an ifstream will read your file in no worries, and then you can just set up your editor to contain the data read in.

something like

std::ifstream a(szFilename);

std::string s;

while (getline(a, s))
MyInternalBuffer += s.c_str();

You need to include string and fstream for this to work.

How do I set up the editor to contain the data? that is where i am having problems. I have no problem reading the data into the buffer.

I thought maybe I could

CMyDoc* pdoc;
pdoc.OpenFile( CString path );

I have searched my books on Doc/View architecture. I am sure the answer is there but I don't see it.

Oh - the problem is not loading, it's actually having the text in the editor ? There are many ways to go about this, the simplest is to use a CEditView ( from memory ) and call SetWindowText on it.

Bitmap Background in CRichEditView

Has anybody tried to put a bitmap background on a CRichEditView?

I've tried to use GetRichEditCtrl().ModifyEx (0, WS_EX_TRANSPARENT) and it did give me a transparent background CRichEditCtrl. However, I can't paint the background of the view!

How come ON_WM_ERASEBKGND message is NOT sent to the CRichEditView?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Complete Port I/O and Heap Problems :: Winsock

Hi.

I am very close to finishing an IOCP Winsock program. However, there is one major bug that I have not been able to debug and determine a working solution. One reason is the fact that I do not know what causes this bug. Note that this now the only bug or at least the only one that Visual C++ Debugger finds.

Here is the message from the debugger.

-----
HEAP[Program.exe]: HEAP: Free Heap block 36a9c8 modified at 36a9f4 after it was freed
Unhandled exception at 0x77f7f570 in Program.exe: User breakpoint.
-----

I notice that the program crashes and Visual C++ Debugger outputs this message only when the IOCP handles multiple sockets. I do not have an accurate count, but I believe ten or more sockets will cause the program to crash. To my understand, IOCP can handle thousands of sockets. In fact, a working WSAAsyncSelect I/O model of this same program works great under hundreds of sockets at any given time.

In terms of IOCP, what could be some causes of this heap problem?

Thanks,
Kuphryn

It seems that the problems you have do not have anything to do with IOCP. It appears to be a buffer overrun or, more probable, calling delete two times on the same pointer.
