This is a good question because I'm not sure any of those really describes Windows messaging well. Sort of interesting given that it's the primary means of communication in the Windows desktop environment. I guess the rational behind this is that you can't really pass along data across messages, you can pass commands/messages and references.
I used to use messages a lot within an application to communicate but it's a bit different when dealing internal to an application because you can pass data by reference easily. Externally, you can only do that if the data is in a place that is accessible to both applications or meets certain restrictions (as described here[^]).

i am trying to use the example shown in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms701483(v=vs.85).aspx[^] to make a message queue in windows so i created an empty project however it keep showing 2 error.
_snwprintf_s and wprintf are not identifier.
so i search around and found out that stdio.h is required so i proceeded to add #include "stdio.h" and tried # include <stdio.h> but a linker error keep popping out.
anyone know how i get get the example to work?

Well I am afraid we cannot guess what error it might be.

Just a suggestion but getting Windows Message Queues or any message queues to work correctly is not a beginning level project.
So if you have not programmed before then I suggest finding some other project to work on (hopefully a teacher didn't assign this.)
Other than that a linker error would suggest that you are missing a library (however the posted error wouldn't normally suggest a linker error to me.)

Quote: _snwprintf_s and wprintf are not identifier.
If you look at the tchar.h include[^], it has the definitions for those.
If you include that file and still get errors in regards to wprintf and the other call, do note that they're enclosed in an #ifdef statement that requires the project to be compiled using _UNICODE.

Has anyone solved the mystery of using both ImageHlp.h and DbgHelp.h in the same module? When you include both of those headers, it gives about 195 errors of "Multiply defined symbols."
I googled, but all I could find was people asking this question and not receiving any answers.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

It looks[^] the official library is DbgHelp, and they do actually provide overlapping functionality.
THESE PEOPLE REALLY BOTHER ME!! How can they know what you should do without knowing what you want done?!?!

Is it safe to call GetModuleHandle and GetProcAddress inside DllMain?

Hi All
I am wondering if it's possible to create a DataTable object in one button handling event, and use it in another button handling event without getting error C2065: 'Datatable object' : undeclared identifier
As a solution of last resort i've made an attempt (see below) which is unsuccessful.
public ref class Form1 : public System::Windows::Forms::Form
{
public:
DataTable^db=gcnew DataTable();
Form1(void)
Thx

You might receive (better) answers if you asked this in the correct forum.

You should declare the object in your Form class and initialise it in the constructor or FormLoad event. It is then available to every other event handler or method within that class, whether public or private. This is basic C++ and nothing specific to CLI or Form apps.

Cheers Richard.
Please very quick question: do you know why the below code compiled but tirggered an error msg box
Unable to cast object of type System.Data.DataColumn to type System.IConvertible
lblvol->Text=System::Convert::ToString(sqrt(System::Convert::ToDouble(dbdataset->Columns["DataReturn"])));
I was just aiming at computing the standard deviation of my return series held in ["DataReturn""]. can't see anything wrong as sqrt () is a built-in function from
#include "math.h"
Cheers

My first suggestion would be: "don't write compound statements like that". As you can see they are almost impossible to figure out when they go wrong. Use interim values so you can check each stage of the code, like:
string dataReturn = dbdataset->Columns["DataReturn"];
double doubleValue = System::Convert::ToDouble(dataReturn);
double squareRoot = sqrt(doubleValue);
lblvol->Text = Convert::ToString(squareRoot);
Easier and clearer, and simple to step through with the debugger when errors occur.

Richard,
Thanks for the advice. I will try it and let you know. Any idea why string type does not work from my side as opposed to your post? I am currently going it to see if people have encountered a similar issue.
Best,

Not without seeing the context I'm afraid. You can only use a string in the place where a string is valid.

might be a missing #include... as something is not logic here. as a matter of fact while typing any type double, float, char they are highlighted in blue therefore you could define any variable anywhere in the code based on those type.
however while typing string, the latter does not seem to be recognized at all (not even highlighted). string is considered as plain text and thus unrecognized
bizzare...
Cheers

double, float, char are basic types which are part of the language, while string does not exist, but String (with capital S) is a class. If I spelt it with a lower case s before, then I apologise, as that is C# rather than C++.

Thanks Richard for the feedback, and no worries.
The string class is an instantiation of the basic_string class template that uses char (i.e., bytes) as its character type, with its default char_traits and allocator types (see basic_string for more info on the template).
I will therefore work on your previous post and revert back to you tomorrow. Cheers

Hi Richard
Thanks. I've made a simple console app and can confirm that the String class does work and you could create string variables such as string codeproject without problem. However,based on facts it looks like a different story when dealing with c++/cli.
Back to the main standard deviation calculation, i think it could not work as a columns can't directly be assigned to a type and treated like a variable (see below). it could have worked in vba by selecting the column range and perform the built-in functions: c++ sqrt() or math::sqrt().
Hence the solution of last resort: iterate through each row and perform the calculation in several steps (get the mean from "DataRet" column first, then carry out ... ) unless a you have a better idea. Cheers

Many things are different if you use C++/CLI, it is not something I have worked with, as C# is so much more intuitive, even though my background is mainly C++.

Of course you cannot convert a DataColumn to a double, they are totally different things; remember a column is a collection of cells not a single item. You can hold a double value in a DataColumn's cell, but you need to access that with both the row and column indices.
