I have a keyboard hook installed that is working, and it will catch the Alt key for me, but not the ALT + TAB. How can I determine fromt he wParam and lParam if the Alt key is down when they press TAB?
If it's broken, I probably did it

Hi I'm looking for an explanation of the REINSTALLMODE_PACKAGE flag of MsiReinstallProduct. MSDN says you can use it to reinstall from another package, for instance to update an installed product. Does anybody know how to set the new source package?

I tried using memcpy to copy values from an array of unsigned char to another array of the same type.
But when tried to see it using cout , nothing is displayed.
This what I did.
#include "iostream.h"
#include"memory.h"
typedef unsigned char BYTE;
void main()
{
BYTE a[3]="\xff\x00";
//BYTE *p;
BYTE s[10],r[10],q[10];
memcpy (s,a, 3);
cout<

What are you expecting to be displayed? The first cout statement will print the 0xff character but you'll not be able to see it as it's whitespace. The other two cout statements should print nothing.

I am trying to use PC-Lint with an MFC app and am getting way too many messages where it is searching for some keywords. I would like to know if someone has got a quick start to this .
I added some additional options for a template from Scott Myers . I advised me to make some function parameters const . additionally , most of my functions do not modify data , so should i make them const ? What is the advantage of making a function const ? Apart from the fact that no one could use the function to modify existing data !

I stopped using PC-Lint about six months ago when it flagged perfectly good code and ignore a glaring errors, sometimes in the same file. It's a shame; it used to be a good program.
Incidentally, making a paramater or function const is an additional error check. It also reminds the developer that the class or parameter won't change; if it did, in some cases you would have to double buffer and item or ensure a string had sufficent memory allocated to it, etc.
The compiler can also use const to do some optimizations.
Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine.

I have a edit box which when I set the focus will allow the user to enter text. But when the
Enter or Return key is pressed the program terminates.
I have set the property to Want Return.
I am using the event OnEnChangeEdit1 to move the text and clear down the edit box when
the data entry cycle is complete.
How do you stop the Enter/Return key terminating the program?

Hi,
Sounds like you have a dialog with the OK button as BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON style.
You can use the PreTranslateMessage virtual function to do whatever it is you want to do, e.g.
BOOL CMyDlg::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
BOOL bEatMsg = FALSE;
if (pMsg && pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN)
{
if (pMsg->hwnd == m_ctrlEditBox.GetSafeHwnd())
{
switch (pMsg->wParam)
{
case 13:
bEatMsg = TRUE;
break;
}
}
}
return bEatMsg?TRUE:CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}
Hope this helps,
Andy

Is the ES_MULTILINE style also being used?

The Multi-line was set to false.
If set that to true would that have sorted out the problem?

That's ultimately up to you to determine. All I can do is suggest what the docs indicate, namely that when a multiline edit control is in a dialog box, the default response to pressing the ENTER key is to activate the default button. To use the ENTER key as a carriage return, use the ES_WANTRETURN style.

Thanks for the info.
One effect I have with the use of the Edit Box is that if the user presses the Tab key when the Edit Box has focus then that is taken as an Enter key press.
This is with the Tabstop set to both true or false.
Note I set the Edit Box to read only until data input is expected, then its set to false and back again to true following the data entry.

This is not normal (i.e., default) behavior, unless you are doing something special with the VK_TAB key.

Hi geeks,
Please tell me when to use a MACRO and when to use an INLINE FUNCTION in C++. If this question has been asked before, please point me to that link.
I need an answer comparing the two. Please dont post definitions of macro and inline function as i am aware of them. Please give the answer in terms of efficiency, speed, code-size, pre-compilation/post-compilation, and things like that.
And please give examples ... ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

always use inline ( or ordinary methods ).
the only reason I can give is that macros are preprocessor stuff and are not "debuggable"

That should be reason enough. Very few things should exist as a preprocessor macro. The ability to type-check parameters is a must.

My general rule is that if it can be done as an inline function, it should be.
There are some things which cannot be done with an inline function, but can be done with a macro. Those are rare, though.

This sounds suspiciously like you've got a take-home exam in a programming course, and you're looking for us 'geeks' to provide the answers.
I'll give you the answer to your question. My rate is $75USD/hr (you're getting the student discount, BTW), 4 hours minimum, in advance, in cash.

Is that something you say when you dont know the answer Mr?
Anyway a proper answer would have been appreciated. I was asked this questionj at a job interview. When i will get the job, i will pay u. LOL

Hi einstines,
i was asked this question at an interview:
class a<br />
{<br />
};<br />
main()<br />
{<br />
cout<<sizeof(a); <br />
}
I can obviously run the program to find the output but i need an explanation about the output.
PLEASE ANSWER: WHAT IS THE OUTPUT????

i did just that in VC++
class A
{
};
int _tmain(int argc, TCHAR* argv[], TCHAR* envp[])
{
int i = sizeof(A);
cout << "Sizeof A:" << i << endl;
}
it displayed 1.
I switched to assebmly listing and the linker has generated the following code:
77: int i = sizeof(A);
004018AB mov dword ptr [i],1 <----- Notice here, the linker knew its an empty class and automatically replaced its size by 1
78:
79: cout << "Sizeof A:" << i << endl;
004018B2 mov esi,esp
004018B4 mov edx,dword ptr [__imp_?endl@std@@YAAAV?$basic_ostream@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@@1@AAV21@@Z
004018BA push edx
004018BB mov edi,esp
004018BD mov eax,dword ptr [i]
