RegEnumValue returns data in 'BYTE' in one of the OUT parameters and yes it does return the LONG value for the function call.
I am talking about 'lpData' param in below structure.
LONG WINAPI RegEnumValue(
__in HKEY hKey,
__in DWORD dwIndex,
__out LPTSTR lpValueName,
__inout LPDWORD lpcchValueName,
__reserved LPDWORD lpReserved,
__out_opt LPDWORD lpType,
__out_opt LPBYTE lpData,
__inout_opt LPDWORD lpcbData
);
when I iterate thru different values of regkey I get below outputs:
'REG_DWORD' Data : "94f"
lpData = ''
(For 'REG_SZ' datatype its does return proper output)
'REG_SZ' Data : "|386|ADE|ADP"
lpData = '|386|ADE|ADP'

In the above circumstance, with
DWORD dwValue = *((DWORD *) lpData);
what is the value of dwValue?

Thank you so much! it did help and I didnt want REG_BINARY conversion anymore but yes for REG_DWORD your help is much appreciated !

I am new to this. I have made an activex edit control that deals only with floating point numbers. It works perfect in the test container, but I cannot get it to work at all in my application. After inserting it the software added the class to my project. It compiles without error or warning, but I cannot update data to the control or read anything frrom it into my application. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Just because there wasn't a clear / working link to an old MSDN article that got archived, rewritten, and (insert w/e they do at m$ web oversight here),
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kdzttdcb.aspx[^]
WaitForSingleObject works with beginthreadex because it doesn't close its own handle

Indeed!
There's several differences described in the current docs[^]
(see the Remarks section).

Below is what is suppose to be a valid but minimal MFC Application using SDI. It consists of
two files, the first is a header file, the second is a C++ file.
Header File
#define IDR_MAINFRAME 100
class MainApp : public CWinApp {
public:
virtual BOOL InitInstance();
};
C++ File
#include <afxwin.h>
#include "Main.h"
#define OEMRESOURCE
MainApp myApp;
class MyDocument : public CDocument {
DECLARE_DYNCREATE( MyDocument )
};
IMPLEMENT_DYNCREATE( MyDocument, CDocument )
class MyView : public CView {
DECLARE_DYNCREATE( MyView )
protected:
void OnDraw(CDC *);
};
IMPLEMENT_DYNCREATE( MyView, CView )
void
MyView::OnDraw(CDC *pDC)
{
}
BOOL
MainApp::InitInstance ()
{
SetRegistryKey (TEXT("Programming Windows 95 with MFC"));
LoadStdProfileSettings ();
CSingleDocTemplate* pDocTemplate;
pDocTemplate = new CSingleDocTemplate (
IDR_MAINFRAME,
RUNTIME_CLASS (CDocument),
RUNTIME_CLASS (CFrameWnd),
RUNTIME_CLASS (MyView)
);
AddDocTemplate (pDocTemplate);
RegisterShellFileTypes (TRUE);
CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo;
ParseCommandLine (cmdInfo);
if (!ProcessShellCommand (cmdInfo))
return FALSE;
m_pMainWnd->DragAcceptFiles ();
return TRUE;
}
However, when I compile and run it, it dies in the call to DragAcceptFiles. I do not understand why. I am hoping that somebody here can tell me what is wrong, or the best way to debug this program.
Thanks
Bob

Hello Bob, when you are experiencing errors saying things like "it doesn't work","it breaks","it dies" is not appropriate. You need to post actual error information. GetLastError() numbers, Exception text, assert information like the line of code containing the assert, etc. Hopefully you get the idea.
BobInNJ wrote: or the best way to debug this program.
I don't know what that means. Debugging is somewhat universal, you break into the execution at a line of code and analyze the state of the process using debugger tools (call stack, memory values).
Also, in case you are trying to implement drop files without a net maybe this will help.[^]

Thank you for the response. The error message I get is in the form of a Error Box. The title
of the Box says Microsoft Visaul C++ Debug Library". It also has the line Debug Assertion Failed!. The box also has button on it for Abort, Retry and Ignore.
It gets to the statement:
if (!ProcessShellCommand (cmdInfo))
but it does not get to the statement:
m_pMainWnd->DragAcceptFiles ();
Therefore, I step into the routine ProcessShellCommand. Here is the call stack for the
program after it dies:

[Frames below may be incorrect and/or missing, no symbols loaded for kernel32.dll]
Also, it would seem to me that this is a very simple MFC program and that for somebody who understands MFC should be able to tell me what is wrong off the top of his (or her) head. Maybe, I am wrong about this. My limited experience with MFC SDI programs is that they are full of unexpected surprises.
Thanks

In addition to led mike's reply...
You have not created a window anywhere and haven't set m_pMainWnd
to anything so m_pMainWnd->DragAcceptFiles() is certainly going to fail.

Mark,
Thanks for the response. First, the program never reaches the statement:
m_pMainWnd->DragAcceptedFiles();
Therefore, I do not think that me not setting m_pMainWnd is the problem. Second, my program
is based upon the program in Chapter 8 for Jeff Prosise book, "Programming Windows 95 with MFC" the first edition. In his program, which I could not get to work either, he did not set m_pMainWnd. It is my understanding (which might be all wrong) that when I call the constructor (via new) of CSingleDocTemplate then the window is created automatically and the pointer m_pMainWnd is set. Am I wrong about this?
Also, please look at my last post to see a more detailed explanation on how my program bombs out.
Thanks
Bob

But you originally stated "it dies in the call to DragAcceptFiles"

Son of a gun, you're right.
Maybe put a breakpoint at the beginning of CSingleDocTemplate::OpenDocumentFile()
and step through - what line of code in there is asserting?

Mark,
Thanks for the prompt response.I do nto remeber saying that it dies in DragAcceptFiles. If I did, I was wrong. Sorry about that. In any case, here is a partial listing of the routine it dies in.
<br />
CDocument* CSingleDocTemplate::OpenDocumentFile(LPCTSTR lpszPathName,<br />
BOOL bMakeVisible)<br />
{<br />
CDocument* pDocument = NULL;<br />
CFrameWnd* pFrame = NULL;<br />
BOOL bCreated = FALSE;
BOOL bWasModified = FALSE;<br />
<br />
if (m_pOnlyDoc != NULL)<br />
{<br />
pDocument = m_pOnlyDoc;<br />
if (!pDocument->SaveModified())<br />
return NULL;
<br />
pFrame = (CFrameWnd*)AfxGetMainWnd();<br />
ASSERT(pFrame != NULL);<br />
ASSERT_KINDOF(CFrameWnd, pFrame);<br />
ASSERT_VALID(pFrame);<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
pDocument = CreateNewDocument();<br />
ASSERT(pFrame == NULL);
bCreated = TRUE;<br />
}<br />
<br />
if (pDocument == NULL)<br />
{<br />
AfxMessageBox(AFX_IDP_FAILED_TO_CREATE_DOC);<br />
return NULL;<br />
}<br />
ASSERT(pDocument == m_pOnlyDoc);<br />
The statement that is gennerating the message box is:
AfxMessageBox(AFX_IDP_FAILED_TO_CREATE_DOC);
I am thinking that CreateNewDocument should not be returning NULL but it is.
Thanks
Bob

Mark,
Thanks for the response. The place it is dying in is:
if (pDocument == NULL)
{
AfxMessageBox(AFX_IDP_FAILED_TO_CREATE_DOC);
return NULL;
}
ASSERT(pDocument == m_pOnlyDoc);
That is, pDocument is NULL so the body of the if statment is entered and the call to AfxMessageBox happens. I hope this is clear.
Bob

Awesome, thanks.
It looks like the only way that can happen is if there's already
a document created at the time of the call (there can only be ONE document
in SDI, by definition.
I'm not sure where the pre-existing document is coming from...

Actually, I'm missing something - I'm not seeing where it's possible for the assertion
to fail.
What are the values of pDocument and m_pOnlyDoc when that line
(ASSERT(pDocument == m_pOnlyDoc);) is reached??

Dude I don't think those base classes should be in those RUNTIME_CLASS macros CDocument, CFrameWnd

Mark,
Thanks for the response. The code fragment we are talking about is:
<br />
if (pDocument == NULL)<br />
{<br />
AfxMessageBox(AFX_IDP_FAILED_TO_CREATE_DOC);<br />
return NULL;<br />
}<br />
ASSERT(pDocument == m_pOnlyDoc);<br />
The ASSERT statement is never reached due to the fact that pDocument is NULL. Whe the if statement is reached, m_pOnlyDoc is NULL also.

If you comment out that statement, does the program work otherwise?

David,
Thanks for the response. Commenting out the statement:
m_pMainWnd->DragAcceptFiles();
has no effect. Is this (above) the statement you are refering to.
Bob

BobInNJ wrote: Is this (above) the statement you are refering to.
Yes. Can you use the debugger to step over each statement to find the offending one?

Thanks for the response. I have walked through with the debugger. The details of what I found are in my thread with Mark on this issue. Please look there.
