Yes. calloc(num, size) is just shorthand for memset(malloc(num * size), 0, num * size).

resource DLL

Edit: I'm not using MFC BTW

I made a blank DLL project, copied my resources over to the DLL compiled, everything is fine...

I then loaded my resource DLL inside my app...it's load fine...but nothing is showing...obviously my resources need special attention when stored in a DLL...

What steps do I have to take to make sure my Dialogs, Menus, etc...load...and are shown...?

Thanks Smile | :)

If you're using Win32, then I guess you just pass the handle to the loaded resource dll to CreateDialog() et al.

Check that you are using the right HINSTANCE (that of the resource-only DLL) in all your resource-related API calls.

CStatusbar and an afxMsg question

ns11-Dec-03 9:06

I see this in a sample on CP for a CStatusbar derived class. But I cant figure out how to get the classwizard to add the afx_msg UINT OnNcHitTest(CPoint point) handler . This class CTextualStatusBar doesnt show up in the class wizard. SO I thought maybe if I right click in the left panel classview window on this class and get "Add windows message handler" I migtht be able to do it that way. But for this class, that menu item isnt in the context menu. Yet this handler is in the afx area and its grey which means the wizard generated it. AM I overlooking something obvious?
Thanks.
ns

class CTextualStatusBar : public CStatusBar
{
public:
	CTextualStatusBar();

public:
	virtual ~CTextualStatusBar();

	// Generated message map functions
protected:
	//{{AFX_MSG(CTextualStatusBar)
	afx_msg int OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct);
	afx_msg void OnDestroy();
	afx_msg UINT OnNcHitTest(CPoint point);
	//}}AFX_MSG
	DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
};

I would just add the handler manually.

ClassWizard can behave in a severely brain damaged manner, especially when the class files don't exist in the project's root folder. Frown | :(

The CRT also sets up the global variables __argv and __argc for you, which mirror argc and argv that you get in a console mode app.

see the following MFC stuff:

CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo;
ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo);
After the call to ParseCommandLine() everything will be placed in to cmdInfo.

Arabic characters in a console window

Hosam Aly Mahmoud11-Dec-03 8:03

11-Dec-03 8:03

I want to create a console application (using Visual C++ 6.0) that can input and output Arabic characters. I tried the following code:

#define UNICODE
#include <tchar.h>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
   TCHAR in[10];
   std::wcin >> in;
   std::wcout << in;
}

When I run the program I try to type an Arabic word, but strange characters appear (those at the 2nd half of the ASCII table). The "cout" statement does absolutely nothing.

All help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I've never run any arabic (or non western for that matter) OS before, so I can only speculate.

If you output only one arabic character, do you get two funny looking characters? If that's the case, it seems that the console is not UNICODE at all.

If there's a 1:1 ratio between arabic characters and funny looking characters, then I'd assume that the font used in the console does not have the arabic letters.

It's very easy using Excel's COM interface (Automation). MSDN has several examples. This forum even has a few.
