ports will connect regardless of the device connected or not, try to send some data and then wait for the signal from the printer, if no signal then raise error
if you just want to control the printer why not use the printer api

i am trying to perform some functions on a floppy. i created a handle for that floppy and tried to read the bootsector using ReadFile and WriteFile.
i would like to
Perform a directory listing of the current directory on the floppy
Change directories on the floppy
Create directories on the floppy
Delete directories on the floppy
please show examples if possible or give link to any helpfull website on accessing a floppy disk
|

Assuming you have a drive letter for the floppy, the following functions will work.
FindFirstFile / FindNextFile
SetCurrentDirectory
CreateDirectory
DeleteFile, or SHFileOperation

I have run into some problems while trying to write a scripting language in VC++ 7. I want it to all be in an edit box. For example, if the user types this in the edit box:
String MyString = "Hello";
if (MyString == "Hello")
sendkeys(Hello);
else
MoveMouse(160,480);
end;
Quite a pointless program, but I am having a hard time handling it with C++. How do I handle the boolean logic, and how would I get both of the parameters of the MouseMove function. I would like the program to execute from the top to the bottom. Anyone have any idea how to do this? I just need the basic idea of how to do it. Any help would be appreciated

writing an interpreter is a huge task. if you don't know where to begin, you're much better off using an interpreter that's already written.
there are free interpreters for many languages out there, including things like VBScript, Tcl, Lua, Python, Ruby, etc.. try Google.

Chris is right. It's really a huge task. But if you insist, books like this kind would be very helpful to you : Writing compilers and interpreters[^]. After all, innovation drives the world to get better and better.

Might anyone know why the following line works in WinXP but not in Win2000
<br />
pMyDocTemplate->OpenDocumentFile( NULL ); <br />
In windows2000 apparently it's telling me there isn't a dialog template.
An interesting note is that, if I create a new document through the toolbar, close the document, then call this method again, it will work. Puzzled by this.
Thanks!

You're using the same binary on both Windows XP and Windows 2000, and the same version of the MFC DLL?
Is the Windows 2000 system running Service Pack 4? The DLL Help Database[^] indicates that Windows 2000 SP4 shipped a new version, 6.0.9586.0, of mfc42.dll. If you're compiling with MFC 6.0, supplied with Visual Studio 6.0, this might (potentially) be causing the problem. An even newer version, 6.0.9782.0, ships in Visual Studio 6 Service Pack 6.
Exactly what problem occurs? Do you get an ASSERT failure, or an error message? Is the behaviour consistent across Debug and Release builds?
If you get an ASSERT, what source file and line is listed? If you get an error, what is the exact error message?
[edit] Are you using a CSingleDocTemplate, a CMultiDocTemplate, or your own class derived either from one of those or directly from CDocTemplate? [/edit]

Hi, I have some functions written in C# I want to use in Win32 API program (C++ used).
How can I do it. If someone can give me a sample code or direct to the some tutorial.
Thanks

The 'easy' way - use the regasm tool to export the C# class to COM. Use COM to load the C# code and call it.
The harder way - decompile your C# code with ildasm, add the appropriate declarations to the IL to get the CLR to generate flat exports (as in a traditional C DLL) and recompile with ilasm.
The really hard way - investigate the CLR hosting interfaces.

Does anyone know whether it's possible to recognize right clicks with the CButtonST class developed by Davide Calabro? I know that you can declare a function
afx_msg void OnButton(UNIT nID)
in order to handle left-clicking a button, but can a similar process be applied for a right click? If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know.

Is there a way that you can attach a command-line parameter on the end of an url? I want to send someone a hyperlink that will open up an .exe - that part works fine, but I also want them to be able to send 2 parameters, (the name of two text files). Is there any way to do that?
If it's broken, I probably did it

just append the variables to the end of the URL. THey will be ignored if not needed.
so if the URL is "http://this.com/that.exe" just change it to "http://this.com/that.exe?VAR1=foo.txt&VAR2=bar.txt"

my aim is to create a key board driver, i got a program from the net and it is working but i have to focus the the keyboard events to a desired window (say ms word). what changes should i make in the following codes.

// all instances of the dll to share these variables

A while back I read something telling me that there was a way to call a base class function from the child class; does anyone know how to do this? Thanks!!
If it's broken, I probably did it

Baseclass::function

or simply function() if the child class do not have a function with the same name where the base class declare this function to be virtual...

What's the best way to write HTML code to a file? Is it simply to write the raw tags or are there some libraries around that simply this? Thanks in advance.

Just write tags like if you were writing some kind of text. save it as you would do with a text file. is the same, but put the .htm extension.

me = <font style="color:blue;">true</font>;

<font style="color:blue;"></font>else {

wouldn't you prefer declare me as a bool& or even a bool* instead ?

Depend on his religoius philosophy; whether me destructs when leaving life's scope. (That's almost nausiatingly poetic in a nerdy sort of way. Don't think of it as dying, think of it as going out of scope.)
