Re: You can use the function - free() after first calling malloc()

The free function deallocates a memory block
that was previously allocated by a call to malloc().

memset() Sets buffers to a specified character

free() Deallocates or frees a memory block.

  char *tmp = (char*)malloc(16);
  memset(tmp, 1, 16);

You dont need to free this memory, it is static.

You only need to free heap memory which you allocate with a new, or malloc, or alloc. (Use delete free and free respectively).

Or of course if you use smart pointers, which automatically free when they stack container goes out of scope, there isnt a need for a free, but thats getting a bit beyond your question.

c++ objects, I don't get it - IIS ADSI object

I'm not a c++ programmer, but I need to be. I wrote a dll for installshield, that installs the web server program using shell as a custom action, but when I use their (IISHelper.dll) dll for programming the website, I run into problems. Thus I should write my own stuff in the same custom action.

So I working with some sample code, that gets the object, but the sample code returns the HRESULT, and not the object, unless the object is IIS_IADs, like getting the value of a registry key?, in which it's there but you have to sort of dig it out.

For now, I want to grab the default website in IIS5.1, and change the virtual path, the path to the code, and set the documents, mimes and so forth. If I can figure out how to grab the master object, I think I can program the rest and write the values.

hr = ADsGetObject( L"IIS://localhost/w3svc/1/root", IID_IADs, (void **)&pADs );
    if ( FAILED( hr ) ) {
        app_Level = 1;
        goto error;
    }

I think what you are talking about here is a COM object, which is a little different to a C++ object. I don't know enough about it to explain further, however, so i will let someone else do that Smile | :)

.
But as far as i know, the "object" is returned as the pADs pointer, you need to cast it from void*

without seeing more code, pADs is the variable that will be holding the com object you want to manipulate. pADs is likely a pointer to some COM interface (if you're not sure what that means you'll have to read up on the c/C++ langhuage and how to use pointers), thus the use of

&pADs

the "&" means you're taking a reference to something, so a pointer to a pointer. That's how all (or most) of the COM API functions work - they return an HRESULT to indicate the success or failure of a call, and if the function is supposed ot give you back an object, then it's done like this, with a pointer to a pointer of some interface.

ohoooo

That was sort of like the registry function I wrote, In which it returns the Success code, and the object in the function contains the data.

Much different than VB or C#, or JavaScript.

Is it possible to export that com object, and pass it to another function for further processing?

HRESULT CA_WebInfo::get_IIS_VirtualDirectories( DWORD InstanceID ) {  
    
	HRESULT hr = CoInitialize( NULL );

        CComPtr<IISApp2> pApp2;  
        WCHAR ADSIPath[50];  
      
        //Get the IIsWebServer object - IIS://localhost/w3svc/xxx  
        wsprintfW( ADSIPath, L"IIS://localhost/w3svc/%d", InstanceID );  
        hr = ADsGetObject( ADSIPath, IID_IADs, (void **)&pADs );  
      
		if ( SUCCEEDED( hr ) ) {  
			//use the &pADS - Decode it, grab it or something
        };   
      
        pADs = NULL;  
      
        //Get the IIsWebDirectory object - IIS://localhost/w3svc/xxx/root  
        hr = ADsGetObject( ADSIPath, IID_IADs, (void **)&pADs );  
        if ( SUCCEEDED( hr ) ) {  
          //Read the root folder of the IIsWebDirectory  
          hr = pADs->QueryInterface( IID_IISApp2, (void **)&pApp2 );  
          if ( SUCCEEDED( hr ) ) {  
            CComBSTR bstrVarname = L"Path";  
            CComVariant varAppRootPath;   
      
            hr = pApp2->Get( bstrVarname, &varAppRootPath );  
            if ( SUCCEEDED( hr ) ) {   
              //IISWebInfo->RootPath = OLE2T( varAppRootPath.bstrVal );

Yes, it's just like any other parameter, though you do have to be careful to keep track of the ref count.
Also, are you sure you want to be initializing/un-initializing COM in the one function? Wouldn't it make more sense to put that in your modules startup/shutdown code?
If get_IIS_VirtualDirectories is part of some other COM object (implemented in C++) then CoInitialize should already have been called, making your call redundant. If the code has to execute in another thread, then you really want to put the CoInitialize call in the thread's initialization before it starts doing anything else (and you don't want to use CoInitialize, you'll want to look at CoInitializeEx and use the multi-threaded settings).

I was using the code sample to try and sort of reverse engineer some sample code, and get a clear understanding of it first. The Big Picture is that I'm trying to write my own Custom Action DLL for InstallShield Pro, that installs the web server, looks at the metadata, if it's XPPro/Vista/7 with 1 default website, then change the virtual path, program the mimes, documents so my asp.net product will work.

I didn't know what the scope of coinitialize was, or what it does, and I prefer to just write 1 giant function first.

I wrote this first, as the main function, in which I want to fork out to another function based on the IIS Version installed. But I'm stuck creating my first engine function, that does the work. in switch case 5, I want to run the IIS job.

void CA_WebInfo::create_WebServer( CString msi_DIR_AppVolumeFolder_II ) {

    bool iis_Result = false;
    int program_ExitCode = 0;
    unsigned long iis_MajorVersion;
    unsigned long iis_MinorVersion;

    CA_Registry caReg;

    //Is the Web Server Installed
    iis_Result = IIS_Installed();

    if ( iis_Result == false ) {
        program_ExitCode = install_WebServer( msi_DIR_AppVolumeFolder_II );
    }

    iis_Result = IIS_Installed();

    if ( iis_Result == true ) {
        iis_MajorVersion = caReg.get_IIS_MajorVersion();
        iis_MinorVersion = caReg.get_IIS_MinorVersion();

        //Add the Website depending on the version of IIS
        int result_ADSI = 0;
        switch ( iis_MajorVersion ) {
            case 5:
                attach_IIS5_XP();
                result_ADSI = get_IIS_VirtualDirectories( 1 );

                break;

            case 6:
                break;

            case 7:
                break;


        }
    }
}

I know I have to attach to the metadata first, see what it is, and then take action. I have written this in VB with great success, but c++ is lights years away. This is my intialization of the IIS MetaData.
I hope my explanation makes sense, this is my first c++ project since 28 years ago.

HRESULT CA_WebInfo::attach_IIS5_XP(void) {
	
	HRESULT hr;
	IADs *pADs = NULL;
	IISApp2 *pApp2 = NULL;
	IISApp3 *pApp3 = NULL;
	DWORD instanceID = 1;
	int app_Level = 0;

	hr = CoInitializeEx( NULL, COINIT_MULTITHREADED );
	if ( FAILED( hr ) ) { goto error; }
	hr = ADsGetObject( L"IIS://localhost/w3svc/1/root", IID_IADs, (void **)&pADs );
	if ( FAILED( hr ) ) { 
		app_Level = 1;
		goto error;
	}
	hr = pADs->QueryInterface( IID_IISApp2, (void **)&pApp2 );
	if ( FAILED( hr ) ) { 
		app_Level = 2;
		goto error;
	}
	
	hr = pADs->QueryInterface( IID_IISApp3, (void **)&pApp3 );
	if ( FAILED( hr ) ) { 
		app_Level = 3;
		goto error;
	}


	         
	
	//The program bombed so close it
	error:
	  if ( pApp3 )
		pApp3->Release();

	  if ( pApp2 )
		pApp2->Release();

	  if ( pADs )
		pADs->Release();

	  CoUninitialize();

		return hr;

Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode[^]. You may want to use strings of unicode characters rather than just char Of course then you will also have to figure out and use encodings. Here's a good introduction on Unicode and encodings: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html[^]

I'm probably not the best person to ask about what libraries and system functions to use, but it shouldn't be too hard to google for. Wink | ;)

I do know Visual Studio provides built-in support for unicode strings, it's right in the project options.

Combob box get hide at mouse release

Hi Dveleopers,
I have some problem regarding combo-box control. In one situation it give the list properly and in the other one it appears till the mouse is hold after that it get hides. If we click on arrow part of combo box it behaves properly, but if we click on the text part it give the list while mouse is in hold after that it get hide.

In 1st condition I have added almost 15 items and in other situation almost 500 items is being added.
The only difference between these items is that 1st one is CString and the 2nd one is char*.
Here the sel change of another combo based on that combo box ""m_chap"" ( in which I have problem is being populated ). pFnameMap is a structure and pFnameMap->fullName is a char*.

CString	szTemp;
m_nUserType = m_Rep.GetCurSel();

m_Chap.ResetContent();
if(m_nUserType != LB_ERR)
{
    m_Rep.GetLBText(m_nUserType, szTemp);
 
    if (szTemp.Find("Materia") >= 0)
    {
        FNAMEMAP1 *pFnameMap = NULL;
   
        for( int i=0;i& heApp.m_ChapterNameMap.GetCount();i++)
	{
	   if(APP->m_ChapterNameMap.Lookup((WORD)i,(void    near *&)pFnameMap))
	   {
	      if(stricmp(pFnameMap->repName, "Complete")==0)
	      {
		m_Chap.AddString(pFnameMap->fullName);
	      }
	   }
	 }
     }
     else
     {
	szQuery =  "Repertory = '" + szTemp + "'";
	m_pRsRepChaps->SetFilter(szQuery);
	while(!m_pRsRepChaps->IsEOF())
	{
	   m_pRsRepChaps->GetFieldValue("Chapter", szTemp);
	   if(m_Chap.FindStringExact(-1, szTemp)==LB_ERR)
	   {
	      m_Chap.AddString(szTemp);
	   }
	   m_pRsRepChaps->MoveNext();
	}
     }		
}

Combo box style is dropdown.

Hi there,

I've got a trouble of memory leak. I use Process Explorer to watch my app's status, and find that the "virtual size" keep increasing, and get to 2GB eventually, but the app never crashed.
I use windbg to check the app's memory status, the memory committed and memory reserved are also good(130MB)，in my understanding, the "virtual size" is composed of the memory committed and reserved，but the fact is not. Please tell me how to calculate "virtual size", Thanks very much!

Hello community,
i use this function in my application and have a little issue!
For example Firefox translate URL with tis "ö" to "%C3%B6" and this is ok, now when i use AfxParseUrlEx with URLs who have character like "ö" in this convert it to "%F6" and this is wrong!
I need it converted like Firefox from "ö" to "%C3%B6"!!
Hove to use AfxParseUrlEx so that they should do the same like Firefox?
Use with parameter ICU_BROWSER_MODE don't work! Frown | :(

I hope my question is understandable for other Frown | :(

"%C3%B6" is a two byte character, perhaps the issue has something to do with character encoding (UTF-8 vs UTF-16)?
