Thanks Roger,
Your sample is very helpful. Great! I am just curious, why do you need to be dependent on a specific version of Windows Control component? You want to have some special Visual effect? Or you hard code something in your code which needs the specific version component?
How about if the runtime (customer environment) does not have the specific version of component?
regards,
George

If you need adminstrator privileges to run your program you can (and have to) specify it in the manifest.

Thanks KarstenK,
It should be a good usage scenario. Do you have more detailed steps about how to write a manifest file to only let administrator run it?

Do you mean by case insensitive ?
If you are using CString then use
CString::CompareNoCase(LPCTSTR lpsz);

I have a big structure(NAME_INFO) of strings that needs to be filled up by using the ResourceID.
typedef struct _NAME_INFO<br />
{<br />
char* strTagName;<br />
BOOL bAlwaysCreate;<br />
} NAME_INFO;
Initialization:
NAME_INFO NamesTable[] =<br />
{<br />
{ConvertResIdToChar(IDS_PRIYA),true},<br />
{ConvertResIdToChar(IDS_NISHA),true},<br />
{ConvertResIdToChar(IDS_RAM),true},<br />
{ConvertResIdToChar(IDS_RAJ),true},<br />
{ConvertResIdToChar(IDS_RAHUL),true},<br />
};
At present the function i have is:
char* CNewDialog::ConvertResIdToChar(UINT uResString)<br />
{<br />
CString strTemp;<br />
strTemp.LoadString(uResString); <br />
char* str = strTemp.GetBuffer(strTemp.GetLength());<br />
<br />
return (str);<br />
}<br />
I am not able to fill the 'NamesTable' with the required strings...
Please help!!

You're returning a pointer to the buffer of a CString on the stack that will go out of scope when the fucntion returns.
|
|
|
|
|
Then how could i modify the function??
Any suggestions??

Change the function return type and the string member of the struct to CString
|
|

I am getting error:
error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'class CString' to 'struct _NAMES_INFO'
No constructor could take the source type, or constructor overload resolution was ambiguous

Posting a compiler error message with the code that produced it is going to get you nowhere fast. What is the error telling you?

You haven't allocated the memory for char* str.
char* CNewDialog::ConvertResIdToChar(UINT uResString)
{
CString strTemp;
strTemp.LoadString(uResString);
char* str = new char[strTemp.GetLength()];
strcpy(str, (LPCTSTR) strTemp);
return (str);
}

s have tried this.. but got problem in deallocating the memory leading to memory leaks..
Priya Sundar

I dont see any issue in this.
Could you please post your code snippet ?
Regards,
Paresh.

i tried this code
CString strLoad;<br />
strLoad.LoadString(IDS_PROJECT);<br />
LPTSTR lpsz = new TCHAR[strLoad.GetLength()+1];<br />
CHECK_FOR_NULL(lpsz)<br />
_tcscpy(lpsz,strLoad);
In Debug mode, while the function exits i get the memory leak for the new operator

I could found three ways to avoid mem leak
#1 callee itself provide the memory, and you function just to the copying task!
#2 you manually delete the memory when use of variable ends.
#3 Create the datastructure of vector or list , which contain pointer to all allocated memory and when program exit, delete all the memory pointed in vector!

char* CNewDialog::ConvertResIdToChar(UINT uResString)
{
CString strTemp ;
char str[MAX_SIZE] ;
strTemp.LoadString(uResString) ;
strcpy( str , strTemp.GetBuffer(strTemp.GetLength()) ) ;
return &str[0] ;
}

Using this function also i am not able to fill up the table correctly.
All the methods convert fine. i.e if i give a AfxMessageBox(str);, i am able to get the correct string displayed.
I think the problem is in the method of passing or in the method of initialization of the structure.

This is just plainly wrong. You are returning a pointer to something that is local to the function and that will be destroyed when the function goes out of scope.
The problem is that it is a very insidous bug because it will probably work but once you change something somewhere in your code, bang, you'll get a crash.

Okay People.....
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS...
Finally i landed up in something like this..
hLPSTR pMyLpstr;<br />
<br />
pMyLpstr = NULL;<br />
<br />
char* CNewDialog::ConvertResIdToChar(UINT uResString)<br />
{<br />
CString strLoad; <br />
strLoad.LoadString(nResString); <br />
pMyLpstr = new TCHAR[strLoad.GetLength()+1]; <br />
CHECK_FOR_NULL(pMyLpstr)<br />
_tcscpy(pMyLpstr,strLoad); <br />
return pMyLpstr;<br />
}<br />
<br />
delete [] pMyLpstr;<br />
pMyLpstr = NULL;<br />
This is based on a idea given by Nelek in some other thread.

just want to be sure, is this function call only once for each ID!

Yes, For every string ID i call this function for the required conversion. I am deallocating the memory only last in the destructor.
This gave me no memory leak warnings in the debug window, however, logically i am deallocating it only once at the last.. what about the memory allocated for the remaining strings...
I dont know why such memory leaks are not identified by the editor..
Hope what i am talking is correct!

please confirm me,
#1 There is separate variable for each function request for StringID
#2 How many times this function is called for same String ID.
