Re: controlling HTML web page in Visual C++ 6.0

I guess wrap is not the term I should have used. Interface is what I am doing. I have successfully interfaced with the HTML file. Now I need to be able to control the buttons within the HTML file and that is what I have not been successful in doing. Any help would be appreciated.

I you are using a class derived from CHtmlView you can do most anything you want with the html and with the Javascript including calling C++ code from JS and vice-versa.

To call a JS function you can use: execScript()

This is a snippet from my Surfulater app code:

MSHTML::IHTMLDocument2Ptr pDoc( GetHtmlDocument() );
if ( pDoc != NULL )
{   // Call our JS code to end Edit mode. Calls JS EndEditing()
    _variant_t vtRet;
    _bstr_t bstrFunc = _T("EndEditing()");
    vtRet = pDoc->GetparentWindow()->execScript( bstrFunc, L"JScript" );
}

See: http://www.codeproject.com/com/jscalls.asp#xx229574xx[^]

There is a lot of good documentation and sample code around on this subject. Yell out if you need more pointers.

If I let the user open a file through GetOpenFileName, how to have the customizations done on that dialog box stay from one open to another ?
If the user switches to the detailed view and selects new columns (choose details), how to have to columns back the next time he wants to open a file ?

Interprocess communication or something like that

Hi everyone,

I am writing an application that can replace a keypress with another one, e.g. if I press the 'm' key on the keyboard, my application detects it and replaces it with 'x' for example.

This is achieved by setting a low level keyboard hook.

Up to now, the replacement map is hard-coded into the hook dll, but I want to configure it on the fly with a program in the TNA.

My question:
Is there a standard way of communication between my hook dll and the config program (i'm planning a callback function that is called everytime a key is pressed. it returns the replacement key) or do I have to think of my own with perhaps ReadProcessMemory, a MMF or something like that??

thx in advance,
Oliver

I am setting a socket option to use the KeepAlive feature...using setsocketopt(). If there is an error or break in the network connetion an error code is generated...but this can take minutes. I need an indication in seconds that there is a problem. Is there a way to do this??

Thanks,
Jerry

Last I checked the RFC (10 years ago) the timeout was 2 hours! If you need less you need to impliment that yourself. Basicly you need to ping the other end every second, and check for errors. However TCP does in order delivery, so if one packet is lost but the connection is otherwise good (this is a normal situation!) it can take more than one second for the retry.

You can get around this with UDP. In fact it might be better to use UDP for your keep alive because then you know which packets are lost, and when things are arriving out of order.

2)it will have a treeControl on the leftside pane on clicking different sub-tree items on the left pane there will be a display window which will show different pre-built in written stuff which is un-editable. D'Oh! | :doh:

I will answer specifics ...

1- when doing this, in the resource editor, change the Password property for the editbox to make it display * instead of the actual letters.

2- You want something like this http://www.codeproject.com/property/TreePropSheetEx.asp ?

fread crash

ns24-Aug-04 1:55

24-Aug-04 1:55

I am doing

char* junk;
stat = fread((void*)junk, sizeof(char),64880,  inFile);

and it crashes. The file is much larger than 64880. What could I be doing wrong? Its binary data.

If I do:

stat = fread ((void *) &pingMarker, 1, sizeof (unsigned int), inFile);

it doesnt crash. I was just wanting to skip past a bunch of data and see what lies at the 64881th byte
thanks,

junk is a pointer that has not been initialized (so it points to an invalid adress). When you call fread with this pointer, it will try to write something at this invalid adress and will crash.

Try this instead:

char* junk = new char[64881];<br />
stat = fread((void*)junk, sizeof(char),64880,  inFile);<br />
//<br />
//<br />
//<br />
delete[] junk;

char junk[64881];<br />
stat = fread((void*)junk, sizeof(char),64880,  inFile);<br />

Yes, a better solution is to use fseek. Take a look at the msdn for more info.

Hello,

I have already communicate with a lot of experts and read a lot about my
problem which is as follows: I want to develop a generic program for a
PocketPC, which logs the method-call and the time when any button or anything
else is executed, respectively a method is executed, in a file on the Pocket
PC. I need this for Usability studies. Every experts told me that i can reach
this only with embedded c++ or c code. I wrote my previous programs always with
c#.
So i want to ask in this forum if somebody can help me to solve my problem?
- this would be very important for me, because i need it for my diploma
(thesis).

thanks in advance.

Regards.

Class View in VS 7

CreepingFeature24-Aug-04 1:37

CreepingFeature

24-Aug-04 1:37

In VS, there is a window that shows solutions, classes etc. D'Oh! | :doh:

If in class view you can see all components of that class. If the class contains enums etc. you can see all of the components by name in their respective groups.

Say:

Enums<br />
----balahBlah<br />
------bl<br />
------bla<br />
------blah

(Dont mind the ----)

The elements of enums etc. are listed by name but in case of enums the named values are actualy type int.

Q: Is there a way to force VS to organize the elements by value?

(VS only organizes by name, access, and group!)

Eg. If say blah = 0; it should be first in the list and if bla = 2; it should be last.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, I have not been able to find such!

If you really want the enum items in order you could write

enum { blah = 0 };
enum { bl = 1 };
enum { bla = 2 };

and they will appear in that order in the class view. Though this seems a bit overkill for me!

While this does work, it would be much simpler with just:

strcpy(szString, YourString);

Just to be complete:

I think
char* szString = new char[YourString.GetLength()+1];

doesn't need the +1; (a "\0" is already in the CString)

Strange Debuggin Thing

24-Aug-04 1:13

hello,
I've some strange problems while debugging, I've one solution with 4 project,2 are exe files, the other 2 are dll.
My problem is I can't see the value of variables while debugging outside the main file.
for example

<br />
case WM_INITDIALOG:<br />
		<br />
		SetWindowPos(hWnd, NULL, wi.rcWindow.left, wi.rcWindow.bottom, 300, 250,  NULL);<br />
		ShowWindow(hWnd,SW_NORMAL);<br />
		//hParser=LoadLibrary("parser.dll");<br />
		if(hParser == NULL)<br />
		{<br />
			MessageBox(hwndMain,"LoadLibrary failed on parser.dll", "Error", MB_ICONERROR|MB_OK);<br />
			break;<br />
		}<br />
		if(!AnalizeMMC(hWnd,NULL))<br />
		{<br />
			MessageBox(hwndMain,"Unable to process multi-media content file", "Error", MB_ICONERROR|MB_OK);<br />
			break;<br />
		}<br />

when I step into AnalizeMMC, that's defined into another .cpp file

<br />
bool AnalizeMMC(HWND hWndMMC,tag *ind)<br />
{<br />
	char temp[30]={0};<br />
	WIN32_FIND_DATA *wfd = new WIN32_FIND_DATA();<br />
	HANDLE hFirstFile=INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE;<br />
	HWND hList=NULL;<br />
	FILE *fd=NULL;<br />
	char test[50]={0};<br />
	hList=GetDlgItem(hWndMMC,IDC_LIST1);<br />
	hFirstFile=FindFirstFile("*.mmc",wfd);<br />
	if (hFirstFile == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) return false;<br />
.....<br />

I can't see the value of temp,wfd,hFirstFile and so on...

I receive
wfd CXX0017: Error: symbol "wfd" not found
.......why this happens???, how to fix it?????
the same happens if I refer to content of another project.
Thanks
Paolo

Have you tried just debugging the DLL in question?

That is set the DLL to active project / startup project then when prompted for the executable choise the appropriate executable that uses the DLL.
