Breakpoints in DLL - C / C++ / MFC Discussion Boards

How do I get the full path and file name of a file, given just its file name or relative path? My program will accept one parameter, a file named passed on the commandline. I need to take the file name passed, and both get the file's full path and name, and in the process validate that the file actually exists.

eg. myprogram.exe somefile.mdb

Where somefile.mdb is a file in the same dir as the exe. I need the whole path of somefile.mdb. It can be not just in the same dir as the exe, it could be in any path specified,

eg. myprogram.exe ..\..\somefile.mdb

I searched through MSDN for a way to get the whole path, but did not find any way that actually worked. Anyone have any ideas? Confused | :confused:

Re: How do I get a file's complete path?

It's not that clear what you're after exactly, but I think it's probably this:

Assuming that argv[argc - 1] points to the filename that you've got:

char strFullPath[MAX_PATH];
char *strFilename;

DWORD dwStatus = GetFullPathName(argv[argc - 1],
                MAX_PATH,
                strFullPath,
                &strFilename);

cout << strFullPath << "\n";

Sorry to dissapoint you all with my lack of a witty or poignant signature.

A MIME email always has a header field that contains:

MIME-Version: 1.0

There are several other possible headers, and the structure of the message body depends on the headers. See RFC 2045 for the specification of MIME message structure.

I'm coding MFC application that supports external dll's. These additional dll's are depended from my main project. The problem arised when I'm trying to set breakpoint and run the debugging. VC determines invalid breakpoints in dll and runs from the beginning.
So, does anyone know how can I debug external dll's?

You have to set the dll as the active Project.. (if you have got more projects in your workspace..) (or open the Workspace of the dll)
if you debug the dll you can tell the compiler which exe should be run to test the dll -> Settings / Debug / Executable for Debug Session... the enviroment starts the exe and you can debug your dll.

hope this helps

* You have to set the DLL - Project as the active Projekt (or open the Workspace of the DLL - Project)
* Then you just start debugging (F5) (the first time you do this, the compiler will ask you which executable should be started for debugging this dll, later you can change this in the project settings / debug / executable for debug session )

hope this helps

Access Database woes...

Hi all,

I am trying to update a record in an Access Database(I am new to DB programming and VC++), from everything I have read the following code should acheive the desired result but it gives a DB exception.

Have I missed a readonly flag or got something wrong in my database.open command???

Any pointers greatly appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Tryhard

Code:-

CDatabase database;
CString sSql;
CString sDriver = "MICROSOFT ACCESS DRIVER (*.mdb)";
CString sDsn;
CString sFile = "d:\\Docs\\Wayne\\C\\Converse\\CDAT.mdb";

TRY
{
// Build the creation string for access without DSN

sSql.Format("ODBC;DRIVER={%s};DSN='';DBQ=%s",sDriver,sFile);

// Open the database
database.Open(NULL,false,false,sDsn);

// Allocate the recordset
CRecordset recset( &database );

// Update data
sSql = "UPDATE Convhist "
"SET GREETINGCOUNT = '1'"
"WHERE YOURFIRSTNAME = 'WAYNE'";

// Execute SQL Statement
database.ExecuteSQL(sSql);

// Close the database

database.Close();

}
CATCH(CDBException, e)
{
// If a database exception occured, show error msg
AfxMessageBox("Database error: "+e->m_strError);
}
END_CATCH;
} Confused | :confused:

Are you sure that your database could be opened? You are not checking the return value.
The rest of the code is fine, but there is no need for a CRecordset.
What does the error string say?

A vast majority of our imports comes from outside the country.

Your choices are 1) Do a full install of MFC (the shared and static libraries for Unicode, as they're called) so the files are copied to your HD; or 2) do a default install and keep the VC CD in your drive. Setup will set the VC lib path to point at the LIB files on the CD.
In the end, though, you don't save space with #2, because when you apply a service pack, the LIBs can only go one place - your HD.

Open your workspace and go Build->Configurations. Click Add and copy the settings from your Debug build, and call the new one Debug Unicode or something like that. Repeat for the Release Unicode config.
Once that's done, you'll have two new targets. Go to your project settings and for those two new targets, on the C++/General tab, change _MBCS to _UNICODE.

How to get the bits from a DIB?

clintsinger30-Oct-01 14:22

30-Oct-01 14:22

I have a DIB where I need to access the pixel values so I can read and write to them. I have tried using CreateDIBSection but that doesn't seem to give me a pointer to the original image but rather an entirely new image. Is there some way to get create a pointer to the pixel data of the original DIB?

Please Help,
Clint

Is it a DIB or a DIBSection ? If the latter, just use GetObject.

DIBSECTION dib;
GetObject(hBitmap, sizeof(DIBSECTION), dib);

What I have is a DIB that I get back from a third party DLL. It takes a raw buffer, decompresses it and sends back a 24-bit dib. I want to be able to now go in and access the original bits so I can modify them ( sharpen/ motion detection) as quickly as possible. Then draw them on the screen quickly afterwards.

Please Help,
Clint Smile | :)

see the MSDN for BITMAPINFOHEADER . you have to understand how DIBs are setup, in order for you to be able to get at the pixels.

here it is in a nutshell:

a 24 bit DIB (one of the simplest of the DIBs) is usually a chunk of memory that starts with a BITMAPINFOHEADER structure. immediately after that struct are the pixel bytes.

pixel rows are generally stored in a bottom-up order, so the first pixel byte is the bottom-left pixel. (top-down DIBs have a negative height).

pixel rows are always a multiple of four bytes wide; they have padding bytes at the end, if necessary, to make the total number of row bytes equal to a multiple of four.

pixels are stored BGRBGRBGR... (Blue, Green, Red). three pixels per byte, no padding between pixels (except at row ends, when necessary).

Better than the Startup folder

I know some programs automatically start when the Windows OS is launched, but they are not in the Startup menu. The best I've been able to figure out so far is that it is a registry addition you must make to load your program. Where should I be looking for more information about this?

Thanks,

There's two - Run and RunOnce ( which runs the program then deletes the entry ). I dunno where they are, I always find them by searching for 'RunOnce'.
