Hi,

I would like to create a function to calculate a checksum for a arraydata.

But I don't understand what I want for this checksum :

" lower 8 bits of the sum from data1 to data10 equals to zero".

My english is not perfect but I understand the sum of the data1 to data10 but equals to zero, I don't understand.

Best regards

youssef

Perhaps,

BYTE checksum = 0;
for ( int i = 0; i < 10; i++ )
{
checksum += (BYTE)( data[ i ] );
}
if ( checksum == 0 )
{
good checksum
}
else
{
bad checksum
}

This means that one of your array values is a checksum value which makes the whole array add up to zero.

Read/write from a binary file @ specified offsets

27-Jul-01 7:20

Hi there

I'm a Visual C++ newbie and i want to read and write bytes from a file @ specified offsets. Simply how do I do this?

I currently use the following code to do this bit of the programme, but it doesn't let me choose the offset of where I write to, only the value and number of bytes I patch! Please help!!!

==============================================

ofstream path("c:\\windows\\desktop\\debug.dat");
;
char *value_of_patch = "ffff";
int number_of_bytes = 10;

int setmode(int mode = filebuf::binary);
path.setmode(filebuf::binary);

path.write(value_of_patch, number_of_bytes);

================================================
Sample code is appreciated Smile | :)

Best regards,
Richard Edwards

I wrote this for Read get the number of page in a tiff file.

typedef struct _TiffHeader
{
	WORD Identifier;
	WORD Version;
	DWORD IFDOffest;
}TIFHEADER;

typedef struct _TiffTag
{
	WORD TagId;
	WORD DataType;
	DWORD DataCount;
	DWORD DataOffset;
}TIFTAG;


long CWebBrowApp::GetTiffPageCount(LPCTSTR lpFileName)
{
	TIFHEADER* udtTifHdr = new TIFHEADER;
	WORD NumDirEntries;
	DWORD NextIFDOffset;
	long nPages = 0;
	CFile tFile;
	
	if(tFile.Open(lpFileName, CFile::modeRead | CFile::typeBinary))
	{
		
		tFile.Read(udtTifHdr, sizeof(TIFHEADER));
		
		DWORD lOff = udtTifHdr->IFDOffest;
		
		do 
		{
			nPages++;
			tFile.Seek(lOff, CFile::begin);
			tFile.Read(&NumDirEntries, sizeof(WORD));
			tFile.Seek(NumDirEntries * sizeof(TIFTAG), CFile::current);
			tFile.Read(&NextIFDOffset, sizeof(DWORD));
			lOff = NextIFDOffset;
		} 
		while(NextIFDOffset != 0);		
		
		tFile.Close();
	}

	delete udtTifHdr;

	return nPages;
}

I hope to help you!!!;) Wink | ;)

Good Luck!!!

Thanks for your help!
Sorry to ask again but how do I read INTEGER or LONG length values in from a binary file?
At the moment I can only get single bytes.
Do I use GET or READ?
How to I modify the following code to read an integer length value from address 4110 in the DAT file?

==============================================

ofstream path("c:\\windows\\desktop\\debug.dat");
........................

int pos = 4110;
path.seekg(pos);
int bytevalue = path.get();

================================================

Sorry to be dumb, tried to work it out myself but failed (& no online helpfile)

Does anyone know how to force CListView to select an entire row when you click on an item... by this I mean i insert a certain number of items each with 3 subitems... i want the item AND its subitems to appear highlighted...

Any help would be appreciated.

Call the SetExtendedStyle function with LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT as the parameter.

Re: CListView Not cooperating...

I don't believe that will do the trick. I think the LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT parameter only allows you to select a row by clicking anywhere on any column in that row, rather than on just the first column text. It won't actually highlight the row.

To achieve the highlighting, you'll have to custom draw the control yourself, and you can find many examples of that on this site and on codeguru in the listcontrol sections.

best of luck

I need to access function1 in class2 from class1. Everytime I try to do this i get an error about statically linking. "illegal call of non-static function........ it is Error C2352. Since this function takes values and updates controls based on these values I can't use static functions. Can anyone tell me what to do ? Confused | :confused:

you can only call non-static (ie. normal) methods on an object if you have an instance of the object.

so, either create an instance of class2 or find an already-exisiting instance of it.

I am a beginner and I am not sure what you mean by create an instance. Could you elucidate this for me?

This is really one of the basic principles (maybe the most basic principle) in all of Object Oriented programming: you have a set of functions and properties grouped together that comprise an "object". You can tell the object to do something (invoke methods on the object), to report its state, to change its state, etc..

CString myString;

After this statement executes, "myString" is an "instance" of CString. Or, you could say "myString is an object of type CString".

Now you can call CString methods on myString:

BOOL b = myString.IsEmpty();
myString.MakeUpper();

etc..

What you can't do is call (non static) CString methods without having a CString object to call them on:

CString::Reverse();

This statement makes no sense (at all).What are you trying to Reverse? There is no object there. It's a verb without a noun.

Hi,,
I have a MDI application. I like to get a pointer to the view of a particular document, and them activate it,,

this is the way that I do it,, but it doesn't work

pDoc= GetDocument();
POSITION pos = pDoc->GetFirstViewPosition();
while (pos != NULL)
{
pView = pCurrDoc->GetNextView(pos);
pCurrView=(CTurboMechView*)pView;
CMDIFrameWnd *pFrame = (CMDIFrameWnd*)AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd;
pFrame->SetActiveView(pCurrView,TRUE);
}

Thanks

I think that you should activate a frame, not a view - this is MDI app, right? Do you have multiple views in one MDI child frame?

i dont' have multiple views in one MDI child frame.
but i have several documents open...
so I like to be able to activate a particular View..
I can get a pointer to the document. and then i can get a pointer to the View of that documents. but i can't activate the view..

any ideas??

Assuming you have the document pointer

POSITION ViewPos = pDoc->GetFirstViewPosition();
ASSERT(ViewPos);
CView* pView = pDoc->GetNextView(ViewPos);
ASSERT(pView);
pView->GetParentFrame()->BringWindowToTop();

Hi,

I am modifying a DCOM sever, i have written some new functions and would like to package them into their own interface. How do i do this, a sample piece of IDL is shown for one of the interfaces that already exists on the object. Is there anything i need to watch out for? where do i get the uuid from

[

uuid(5E816CCA-628A-4959-B1FE-05465C3393EB),

helpstring("IDocumentVision Interface"),
pointer_default(unique)
]

interface IDocumentVision : IUnknown
{
}

Cheers

You can get the uuid from GUIDGen.exe, should be in the tools folder in your Visual Studio installation. I always add it to the tools menu for easy access.
