How much is strlen((const char*)lpvMessage)??
and how are you reading the data in app2?

strlen((const char*)lpvMessage) return 1
app2 reads as followed,
fSuccess = ReadFile( hPipe, chBuf,512,&cbRead, NULL);
chBuf only contains the first character of what app1 sent.
thank you

A tip:
wcscpy(chBuf,(LPCTSTR)msg);
+
int k = strlen((const char*)lpvMessage);
Krrrrrsh...
Would be the first time ANSI-routines would work for Unicode strings 
Instead of using strlen, use _tcslen. Also, you shouldn't use wcscpy, but _tcscpy.
For the WriteFile function, use the length returned by _tcslen and multiply this size with sizeof(TCHAR).

_outp(0x64, 0xAD);
and
__asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, al
do the same... but what do they do??
(doesn't work on NT)

Yes.. k now get more than 1 length..
No.. app2 can't still read it.. it's all junk app2 got.
I don't know whether app1 sent the right information or it is just the converting?
<br />
LPVOID lpvMessage;<br />
TCHAR chbuf[512];<br />
_tcscpy(chbuf, (LPCTSTR)msg);<br />
lpvMessage = chbuf;<br />
int k =_tcslen((TCHAR*)lpvMessage);<br />
app1
<br />
fSuccess = WriteFile( hPipe,lpvMessage,_tcslen((TCHAR*)lpvMessage) *sizeof(TCHAR)+ 1, &cbWritten,NULL); <br />
app2
<br />
fSuccess = ReadFile( hPipe, chBuf,512,&cbRead, NULL);<br />

I suspect using LPVOID in app1 is the cause of the problem. Even though the second parameter of WriteFile() is a LPCVOID, this would be acceptible:
TCHAR chBuf[512];
_tcscpy(chBuf, msg);
WriteFile(hPipe, chBuf, _tcslen(chBuf) * sizeof(TCHAR), &cbWritten, NULL);

No.. app2 still get the first letter o ftf whatever pap1 sent
is app2 might aslo has the problem? app2 doesnt' use unicode as app1.
<br />
fSuccess = ReadFile( hPipe, chBuf,512,&cbRead, NULL);<br />
thank you

How are you verifying this? In the Watch window, look at:
chBuf[0]
chBuf[1]
chBuf[2]
chBuf[3]
chBuf[4]
Or you might could try chBuf,su since it is a UNICODE string.

I found out that
chBuf[0]=H,
chBuf[1]=0
chBuf[2]=E
chBuf[3]=0
chBuf[4]=L
chBuf[5]=0
chBuf[6]=L
chBuf[7]=0
chBuf[8]=O
why the characters are store in every other buffer?
Is it because of UNICODE? why UNICODE string does that?
thank you

That's what UNICODE is. Perhaps you need an introduction.

Is it possible the way app2 reads
<br />
CHAR chRequest[BUFSIZE]; <br />
fSuccess = ReadFile( hPipe, chRequest,BUFSIZE,&cbRead, NULL);<br />
<br />
app2 is not using UNICODE, so it is not really neccessary to use TCHAR, isn't it?

Thank you all for your advises..
I had changed wcscpy() to _tcscpy() to send the message from app1 to app2,
app2 seems like only got the first character of the message from app1 but as Davide Crow suggested, I wrote a function that checked every single character of the message and found out that message char was store in every other index in the array. for example, H0E0L0L0O
<br />
void App2::GetReqStr(TCHAR* str, DWORD bufSize)<br />
{<br />
TCHAR temp[BUFSIZE];<br />
int j=0;<br />
for (int i=0;i<bufSize;i++)<br />
{<br />
if(str[i] != 0)<br />
{<br />
temp[j]=str[i];<br />
j++;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
_tcscpy(str,temp);<br />
str[j]=NULL;<br />
}<br />
So App2 gets the message what app1 sent, but the problem is that app1 is not getting the same message what App2 sent back.
for example, App2 gets message "Hello" from app1 and app2 send "YES" to app1 back. however, using the following same methods, ReadFile() and WriteFile(), and app1 got junk messages from app2. Why is that??? it is driving me crazy. I cant' find the errors.. why I dont' get the same message that is sent by app2???????? 
<br />
CString msg = "HELLO";
<br />
TCHAR chBuf[BUFSIZE];<br />
_tcscpy(chBuf,msg);<br />
fSuccess = ReadFile( hPipe, chBuf,BUFSIZE,&cbRead, NULL);
<br />
fSuccess = WriteFile( hPipe,chBuf,_tcslen(chBuf)*sizeof(TCHAR*),&cbWritten,NULL);
<br />

If one program is UNICODE and the other is ANSI, then you have to decide on your protocol.
I see you have two choices:
1. App1 SENDS Unicode and App2 CONVERT the Unicode to ANSI. If App1 RECEIVES a message from App2, then App1 must conver the Ansi sent by App2 back to Unicode.
2. App1 CONVERTS Unicode to ANSI and sends ANSI to App2. If App1 RECEIVES a message from App2, then App1 must converts the Ansi back to Unicode.
You need to investigate WideCharToMultiByte (UNICODE to ANSI) and MuliByteToWideChar (ANSI to UNICODE) string conversion functions.
Also, you might want to SEND the NUL terminator along with your string, although it is not strivtly necessary as long as you add one at the receiving end.
fSuccess = WriteFile( hPipe, chBuf, (_tcslen(chBuf) + 1) * sizeof(TCHAR), &cbWritten, NULL);

i defined a windows message to detect the time that the user did not move the mouse and made any key press using hooks.
however the hook that i attached for the mouse callback function stops sending when the screen saver starts to work. both the mouse move and the keyboard hit send the same user defined message to the program, but the keyboard callback function keeps posting messages when the screensaver is working the mouse messages are stopped even when i turn on the screen saver property and apply it. 
i want it to keep on tacking the user inputs until i tell it not to, not until the screensaver starts.
what can i do to prevent SC_SCREENSAVE to interfere with the mouse tracking? i thought of catching the SC_SCREENSAVE messages with a third hook and disabling the screen saver, or not letting the screen saver to receive the message, but i don't know how to. or is there a way to directly disable the screen saver?
i will be happy if someone can help me solve te problem...

Check the key in the registry at:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop]
Set this to 0
"ScreenSaveActive"="0"
Or set yourself as the screensaver
"SCRNSAVE.EXE"="logon.scr"
"ScreenSaverIsSecure"="1"
Or Set a really big timeout
"ScreenSaveTimeOut"="6000000"

thank you.
i still don't know how to reach the keys. can you give me a hint on how to write the code for doing that?

Hi,
I'm building a dll that is staticaly linked to MFC .
I'm trying to add an ActiveX control to a dialog in the dll.
After adding the ActiveX to the dll dialog I called the dll from an exe file. I always get an error for the create function (I use the following code to launch the dialog)
AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());
CMainDialog *m_MainDialog;
m_MainDialog = new CMainDialog;
m_MainDialog->Create(IDD_DIALOG_MAIN,NULL);
m_MainDialog->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
If there is no ActiveX on the dialog this code works fine.
Please help.
Thanks.

You probably forgot to put AfxEnableControlContainer into your DLLs InitInstance...

I was writing some code to export some data to an Excel chart.
Here's a snippet of the code that is intended to add Sheets to a workbook .
From my apps point of view everything is ok , But when I exit or leave Excel without saving this file I get a MessageBox with a Memory Error . I was wondering if u'd have some suggestions . I am including "excel8.h" in my code. Thanks
COleVariant covOptional((long)DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND, VT_ERROR);
_Application app;
Workbooks books;
_Workbook book;
Worksheets sheets;
_Worksheet sheet;
Range range;
Font font;
Range cols;
CStatusDialog statusDialog;
Interior interior;
int sheetIndex = 0 ;
int cycleStepCount=0;
string data;
char *p;
char c[20];
statusDialog.Create(IDD_DIALOG6,(CWnd*)this);
statusDialog.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
statusDialog.CenterWindow();
if(cyclePt.cycleCount){
// Start Excel and get Application object.
if(!app.CreateDispatch("Excel.Application")) {
AfxMessageBox("Couldn't start Excel and get Application object.");
statusDialog.ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
return;
}
//Get a new workbook.
books = app.GetWorkbooks();
book = books.Add(covOptional);
//Get the first sheet.
sheets =book.GetSheets();
int ct=0;
if(cyclePt.cycleCount<=3)
ct =0;
else
ct = cyclePt.cycleCount-3;
// Excel Does seem to crash when I do this
if(ct)
sheets.Add(covOptional,covOptional,COleVariant((long)ct),covOptional);
app.SetVisible(TRUE);
app.SetUserControl(TRUE);
return ;

I am using MFC (the CDatabase and CRecordset classes) to query a database which has some simple Chinese text stored. My code is built in unicode mode and everything works fine, except that all the chinese characters got converted to the ? character (ascii code 63).
This does not have anything to do with the database because I tried another .NET program with no problem (I was able to get chinese characters from the database). Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

The '?' implies that the Chinese character can't be mapped into the existing encoding (which defaults to Windows-1252). To properly support Unicode data, you should store your data in CString objects (which are UTF-16), or in UTF-8 char* strings. If you choose the latter, you'll need to explicitly transcode() the string using the correct target encoding (i.e. UTF-8).
FYI, I've found a bug in the default (no args) version of the Xerces (C++) transcode() method, which fails silently when it encounters a char that can't be mapped. Instead of replacing an unmapped char with '?', the method inserts a '\0', effectively truncating the returned string.

Thanks for the info.
I traced into my source code, when I call the CRecordset::GetFieldValue method, a database field is supposed to be read into a CString variable. I checked the actual value, it is already 63s (question marks). That means something happened between the database and the MFC dll which converted the text into question marks.
I am 100% sure that I am building and debugging unicode version of my program.
