Hi,
I want to do one project based on interface between external hardware and system. for that i need one API ( system function) which will connect to the port. Through that requesting to the hardware and getting respond from it.
|
|
|
|
|
The key question is WHAT is the interface you plan to use ? COM port ? Printer port ? USB port ? PCI bus ? IrDA port ?
APIs and system functions are not the same thing. Win32 API (application programming interface) offers access to a limited set of Win32 platform functions (functions that can command the operating system).
Be more specific on the project if you want us to help. We can't help you unless we know what you wish to do

Hi,
I isn't know what it done, but I runned sysutil from Alok and is desktop now blank, and things not work. Was this program a trojan? What is done? I way to fix what broke?

Based solely on the context and professionality of the article in question, I decided not to even download/run this application on my computer. Basically, it seems you have locked yourself out from your own computer by using a software incorrectly. I believe, however that it is not a virus. It's just a software that locks/disables features from your computer and you've used it incorrectly.
For an attempt to fix it, run your computer in Safe Mode, then run the Sysutil again. This time, enable ALL options, and allow access to ALL hard drives. Then reboot. If this fixes the problem, then DELETE the Sysutil program, run a virus scanner on your machine, and NEVER install or run a software that you don't know, or can't find a proper manual/details to.
All in all, all you can blame now is yourself. 99% of viruses loose out there spread because of actions taken by the users. If every people suddendly knew how to use a computer properly and what files/file extensions/web sites should be avoided, then the virus writers would have a much harder time indeed...

I know. But is meaning that should never be run any programs from CodeProject? When is OK to try, and when is not OK?
I wanted to seeing how is works this program, and I realized too later that is not seeming to be OK. Now, I is afraid to be trying programs.

hello buddy,
i see,you are facing problem using my SysUtil.
i think you have applied the hiding desktop icon restriction.
now here is solution->
1->first logon to computer with that user where restriction is applied.
2-Run sysutil again and uncheck every check boxes you see there in s/w.
3.click on apply/disapply button
4.logooff the computer.
and every thing will work fine.
thanks for using my S/W.

Why is unchecking? Is not I want to check the boxes that I want to apply? What is check marking for? Is select? Or is something else?

Here your solution,the checked boxes showing the restriction u applied on your computer using my software when you uncheck that box and click apply disapply button ,it will remove that restriction.
after that reboot your system,and you will see you desktop.
pls not : you can direclty contact me before publically insulting me abt my software,i am system programmer i thoughly researched on my s/w before posting it on CP.

Ok i am soory,
i reacted very awkward way.the problem is that you have to ask me yuor problem before directly start critising my S/W.basically it hurt the morale of emerging Developer's like me.
ok anyway i am soory,ok tell is you computer is now ok.
and tell how you like my S/W,hope u like it

Don't call my application virus,that's a insult for an emerging Programmer.
do u see i have provided sourecode for my project???? do you see that.
if i want to send virus though my application to my fellow programmer i not going to tell my full identity in codeproject site.???do you seen my Profile in CP.
if user don't know how to run aplication,do u recommand that it is the virus??you insulted me.
thats very very wrong.

First, borrowing on my own response:
"I believe, however that it is not a virus. It's just a software that locks/disables features from your computer and you've used it incorrectly."
Next, if I have insulted you, then all I can say is that I am sorry. However, after reading your article, I became a bit suspicious, mostly because the article was poorly written, and there were many abbreviations used where normal english words were available. If this is your style in writing articles, or if your command of the English language is not so good, then it is okay, and I admit I made a pre-emptive judgement. However, what I wrote to the other user about your software and the article, they were completely valid points.
My instructions, which you have borrowed, apply just as well to every other software that an user might download or accidentally run. Most software here on Code Project is checked before it's placed available. However, articles that are placed in the Purgatory have not undergone as strict checking as those in the actual articles section. This leaves a security risk for malicious article writers. I am not saying that your article is malicious. But it resides in the Purgatory. Hence the suspicion.

Your entire project depends heavily on an external DLL (NMPRegDll.dll). For this DLL, you have not provided any actual source code. Neither have you documented it very properly. Specifically, you have not documented any of the methods. What do they do ? How do they work ?
The article speaks about your system utility, but you have not given any background information. Why would you create this application ? How does the application work ? Through registry keys ? If not, then how ?
All these missing information pieces lead the reader to think that perhaps it would be unwise to run any sample executables or build the source code. In plain english, it just looks suspicious. It looks incomplete. It looks dangerous.
But it might not be. If the article was edited, you'd spend a few hours/days to writing it properly, using indents, topics, titles and proper code sections, then it would probably receive more attention, more feedback and more users.
I am neither insulting you or trying to push you down in any way. If your system utility is good and someone finds it useful, then that's a great thing. But for situations as the one discussed here, you should place warnings and detailed usage instructions plus possible catastrophe-case instructions to your articles, because accidental misuse (the greatest harm of software) of your program can seemfully cause serious damage to a computer system.

Sir,
I have created a new Keyboard Layout for Regional Language with microsoft tools and it generated a .dll file namely kksm03.dll and the language id is 00000449.
I would like to load the keyboard layout without installing it in the system and the same may be accessed through the application .exe created by me. I am having the kksm03.dll in mydocuments folder.
I wrote the following program code:
LoadKeyboardLabout("00000449", 1);
. . . .
UnloadKeyboardLayout(0x0449);
The key combinations including dead keys defined in my keyboard layout "kksm03.dll" is not working in the expected line. (I have copied the kksm03.dll in the path where the program .exe file will be normally loaded.)
Please enlight me of how to do the above code/program - Eagerly waiting for the response.
Thanking you.

HI,
i want to convert my Answer to float from integer value
as in my code follows
float k =0.0;
int count = 0;
CString str;
for (int i=30;i <= 1440; )
{
k= i/60; /// here problem is
//// if i = 90 then result should be 90/60 = 1.50
////// its gives 1.00 ,, but its should be 1.50
//// in all case of any.50 it gives any.00
str.Format(_T("%d min. or (%2.02f Hrs)"), i , k);
m_ctrl.InsertString(count++, str);
i= i+30;
}
i hope u got the problm ,, that is i also need answer in shape of 1.00 , 1.50 , 2.00 , 2.50 etc.
but its shows 1.50 , 2,50 ..as 1.00 , 2.00 respectvly.
measn it round .50 to lower .00 value
thanx

Hi !
Instead of using k= i/60; use k= i/60.00;
When both operand of a division are integer, the result will be automatically an integer (even if this is not a round number). When one operand is float, the result will be a float also.

To Hello,
How do you create and locate an array of common controls(especially pushbuttons) dynamically?
Thanks.
S1189216G
|
|

|

All Windows controls can be considered normal Windows, with special properties. Following this logic, creating pushbuttons is just like creating new windows.
For MFC, use
:CButton* pNewButton = new CButton();
pNewButton->Create("My Caption", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, CRect(0,0,30,30), this, WM_USER + 1);This code fragment would create a new pushbutton as a child of the CWnd/CDialog class it is being called from, such as when CDialog::OnInitDialog is executed.
For Win32, the procedure is similar, but you'll just use HWND (window handle) and CreateWindow. To create a button, specify "BUTTON" as the class name in CreateWindow. Otherwise the parameters are similar to the MFC version.
See MSDN for more information.

To Antti,
Thanks for the reply.
I need an array(x and y) OR a 2-D of CButtons.
CArray and Clist, which is better?
How do you create the CButtons?
S1189216G
|
|
|
|
|
The selection between CArray and CList depend solely on how many buttons you intend to have. If you have around 10-20 buttons, then an ordinary array of pointers will do.
Here is a code fragment that initializes and creates an array of 4x4 buttons.
CButton* ptrArray[4][4];<DIV>
for( int n = 0; n < 4; n++ )
{
for( int m = 0; m < 4; m++ )
{
ptrArray[n][m] = NULL;<DIV>
ptrArray[n][m] = new CButton();<DIV>
ptrArray[n][m]->Create("Push me !", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE,
CRect(m * 25, n * 15, (m*25) + 20, (n*15) + 10),
this, WM_USER + 100 + n + m );
}
}This code fragment would create an array of 4x4 buttons, that each are 20*10 in size, hold a caption called "Push me !" and were ordered so that the top-left button was in 0,0, and the rest of them would be 25 pixels right from the previous and the next line would be 15 pixels to down from above.
And I won't take responsibility if that code fragment crashes your computer ! It's for reference/quick example only. Test it, debug it, see if it works. Then implement it in the way you choose. Remember to destroy the buttons (CButton::DestroyWindow) and delete the pointers before you quit the application !
If you need more performance, you can utilize CArray or CList. For more information on how to use them, you should see MSDN, as it has a HUGE amount of information right at your fingertips. Go http://msdn.microsoft.com to read it.

Hello all,
I pretty new to Visual C++ and have a question that I am not really sure how to ask, so please bare with me.
I have a dialog based application and a pop3 class that I got here at Code Project.
Anyway, what I need to do is have the functions in the pop3 class update a text box in the dialog as it is retrieving the mail.
I have looked at callbacks but they all seem to work on timers, and what I need is the pop3 functions to just automagically update the text box without any involvement of the dialog app.
Is this possible, and if so, how?
Thanks,
Murrah Boswell
