Thank you For Your Reply,But My Problem Is I Have Installed A WH_GETMESSAGE Hook In a DLL.The DLL Is Loaded On To Notepad Process.The DLL Will Post The Message To Mainwindow When Key 'A' Is Pressed.The Main Window(HWND) Which Has Triggered The Hook Is Unable To Receive The "Postmessage" Posted To It.But Notepad(HWND) Is Able To receive The Postmessage Posted To It...

I am afraid it is impossible to guess what may be happening. You will need to use your debugger to gather more information.

First PostMessage returns a result and check the value of the message handle before the dispatch ... act like a programmer, you can easily give us a hell of a lot more information than you have.
At a guess the window you are sending it to is not active or the window you are trying to post from is a dialog in the modal state. Can't tell much beyond that you haven't explained or given us enough detail.

Hi,
I am looking for a Basic C or CPP TCP/IP Server Client sample to build around. All I can find is CSS or C# samples. My compiler was born in 1997, but is also my good and trusted friend. Something that it can digest would be appreciated.
Kind Regards, 
Bram van Kampen

There's bunches of stuff out there as a google search for C++ TCP server will show - however if you're using a '97 vintage compiler, then what OS are you using? Anything for Win10 (or even XP) may not be appropriate. If you're looking for DOS, OS/2, or something unixy, then adding those search terms should provide you with something useful.

Well Leon,
About the Machines it will Run On. The Server software will run under WinXP SP2, The Client Software will run on Win7 or above. The software is intended to provide a bridge between the Database running on XP, and an Internet Server, connected to a local data server via an ADSL connection to serve the database. We expect minimal traffic, no pics or films, just text files to tell our clients that their laundry is ready, and, what the bill is.
I am also very concerned about the lack of gravity given in the education system to languages like C and CPP. Many young programmers I speak to consider C and CPP a sort of old fashioned ancient languages, long superseded by Java, JS, JCODE, Perl, C# and CS! Very few of these realize that All these interpreters are ultimately written in 'C' or 'ASM'.
I Despair at this! What percentage of "Software Engineers" understand Assembly Code, never mind Machine Code! The understanding of the Nuts and Bolts of any system, will always remain important!
Kind Regards and Thanks,
Bram van Kampen

For a business that doesn't sound like a good idea. Even normal databases designed for XP had IP ports so a server could run on a different more modern computer and just communicate with the legacy system. Both could run behind normal security setups.

Perl? I haven't seen anyone actively using Perl except me basically ever. In the 90s I worked in a shop that was exclusively Unix programmers and far as I could tell of the 300 developers I was the only one that knew how to use it. And since then even knowing that exists has gone down.
And I have no idea what "CS" would be given that you already referred to C#.
My guess is that embedded programming uses a lot of C. That is the only reason I can see for the popularity in the tiobe index at number 2 for C.

Nope.
The Java VM is written in Java excluding a very small subset of C++. The Java compiler is written completely in Java - it in fact runs in the Java VM. And that second statement has been true for a very long time probably at least early 2000s. Eclipse and Intellij are both written in java. The very earliest Java compiler might have had ASM in it but at least in about the late 90s it did not (I used to look at the source code quite a bit.)
The current C# compiler is written in C#. I believe it was C++ before that. Visual Studio appears to be written, best as I can tell, mostly in javascript.
GCC has been C++ since 2012. Before that it was C.
There might be some very small niche processors that use an assembler compiler written in assembler. But even back at least in the 80s assemblers were written in languages besides assembler.

Well,
The My Program Suite is out in the field since 2005. It runs on XP. It works well, We provide the terminals. built out of recycled computers. Our customers do not view these terminals as computers, but as Tills.
The code is under licence, so I get an annual pay for each license, and everyone is happy. I am in a niche market, without any local competition. The working code base will never be migrated to another Software platform.
Also, because of the persistence of never changing the basic user interface for staff, other than in minimal ways, we have reduced staff training costs for our clients to close to zero.
All Bugs are long resolved, the program works as it states on the Can, so, why should I try to improve.
The Database we use is totally proprietary, developed in our lab. Our Database is hence extremely resistant to Hacking, the format and organisation is private to the company!
We do not use standard software because it is too easy to hack! Our protocols are always non standard, by slightly deviating from the standard, in un expected ways.
Using C#, what you write gets translated to 'Universal Intermediate Code' to run on the Just in Time c# virtual machine. That intermediate code can easily be decompiled to the original source code, with the loss of function and naming conventions We as an organisation will never entertain it as a way to distribute our code!

That doesn't have anything to do with your statement about modern programming languages.

90% of data loss from companies is due to internal breaches. An employee walks off with the data.
Most of the rest is based on employees doing something wrong - like posting their login on a postit on the box.
Actual technical "hacking" from outside sources is rare (compared to all business losses).

First I know exactly how C# works. I also know how java, perl, C++, C, assembler and even SQL on various boxes works. I have in fact written several custom compilers and interpreters and have written an IDE as well.
Secondly I can see how you feel that that protects your IP, but doesn't have much to do with the statement that I originally responded to.

Lots of samples: sockets c - Google Search[^]. The basics of sockets have not changed for years so you can work from any of the more modern samples in an old compiler: my first sockets program was developed using Visual C++ 6.0 (so long ago).

I have a task of passing variable values in an array to a function.
Of course compiler cannot reinitialize same array with different values.
Putting the code in a block works.
Awful hack.
So what is "the proper " way to accomplish the task in C++ ?
Multidimensional array is impractical in my case.

What exactly are you wanting TestArray() to do?

It does nothing useful, just test prints the values passed to it.
The question is about how to initialize / reinitialize THE ARRAY of the values passed.

|

Have you tried memset() or memcpy()? It's not ideal because (currently) TestArray() does not know how much room it has to work with.

Why the extra pointer?
int a[32] = {1,2,3};
vna.utility.TestArray(a);
for (i = 1; i <= 7; ++i)
{
a[i] = i;
}
vna.utility.TestArray(a);

Here is a partial test solution using memset.
Compiler likes it.
There is a small problem
"This function copies the value of c (converted to an unsigned char) into each of the first size bytes
of the object beginning at block. It returns the value of block. "
I am getting only the first value passed and it fills all 32 bits
Index 0 pDataArray 37373737
Index 1 pDataArray 37373737
Index 2 pDataArray 37373737
Index 3 pDataArray 37373737
Obviously I am using the pDataArray
and memset (pointers ?) wrong, as usual.
Could use some more help.
Thanks
Cheers

int *pDataArray;
int a[] = { 55, 1, 2, 3 };
int iTestIndex = 0;
memset(pDataArray, *a, sizeof(a));
do {
cout << "index " << dec << iTestIndex; cout << " array 0x" << hex << +a[iTestIndex] << endl;
} while (iTestIndex++ != sizeof(a)/4);
iTestIndex = 0;
do {
cout << "index " << dec << iTestIndex; cout << " pDataArray " << hex << +pDataArray[iTestIndex] << endl;
} while (iTestIndex++ != sizeof(a)/4);
exit(1);
int b[32] = { 4, 5, 6 };
memset(pDataArray, b[32], sizeof(b));
iTestIndex = 0;
do {
cout << "index " << dec << iTestIndex << endl;
cout << " pDataArray " << hex << +pDataArray[iTestIndex] << endl;
} while (iTestIndex++ < 16);

Most of that code is not going to do what you think.
memset(pDataArray, *a, sizeof(a)); You are trying to fill the area pointed to by pDataArray, but you never initialise it to point to anything, so it will likely crash your application. Also you are trying to fill pDataArray with the value stored in the first element of a. Is that what you actually mean?
memset(pDataArray, b[32], sizeof(b)); You are trying to fill pDataArray with the value stored in a random element: b[32] refers to a cell 1 beyond the end of that array.
In both cases why are you using the memset (presumably you actually mean memcpy), since you do not use pDataArray for anything useful?

This code looks wrong. You didn't allocate any memory for the Quote: pDataArray

Here is the last modification of the code.
It fulfills the task to be able to reinitialize the array, actually passing a pointer with new data to called function.
The "test function" process / role was immaterial, as long as correct pointer with correct data was received. .
All replies were generaly helpful, which I appreciate.
Thanks.

No, I am afraid it is still wrong. You have the following line of code:
int *pDataArray[32];
That creates pDataArray as an array of integer pointers, not an array of integers. And what is the purpose of this variable, since you never do anything useful with it? Maybe if you actually explained what problem you are trying to solve we could make some useful suggestions.
Also in the expressions sizeof(a)/4, it is better to use sizeof(a)/sizeof(a[0]). Then if a is changed to some other type, the calculation will still be correct.

/*Write a programme to check a password if it has an uppercase letter, a digit and a special symbol. (I have provided what I have done and I am not getting the output as required. Need explanation on where I messed it up.)*/
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<ctype.h>
int main()
{
int i;
int tuna;
do{
printf("Enter a password:%c \n", tuna);
scanf(" %c", &tuna);
} while( tuna != (isupper(tuna), isalpha(tuna), isdigit(tuna)) );
return 0;
}
|

I see several things wrong with your approach: 1) The first time through the loop, tuna is uninitialized so the printf() statement is going to print an incorrect character, 2) The scanf() statement is expecting to receive a char (%c) but you are giving it the address of an int, 3) The isupper(), isalpha(), and isdigit() functions return a non-zero value if the parameter is an uppercase alphabetic letter, and zero otherwise. You are then comparing this to tuna. While syntactically correct, it is nonsensical, 4) If your password is to hold numbers, letters, and symbols, the password type should not be an int, but should probably be a string.
Consider something like:
int reqd = 0;
char pwd[32];
printf("Enter a password: ");
scanf("%s", pwd);
for (int x = 0; x < strlen(pwd); x++)
{
if (isupper(pwd[x]))
reqd |= 0x1;
else if (isalpha(pwd[x]))
reqd |= 0x2;
else if (isdigit(pwd[x]))
reqd |= 0x4;
}
if (reqd == 0x07)
printf("Requirements have been met.\n");
else
printf("Requirements have NOT been met.\n");

I didn't get the logic behind "reqd" in the if else part. Can you please explain?
