Re: Help to debug Error!!

   At first glance, that looks like a problem with using delete on an invalid pointer value. For example, doing a "double-delete", or passing a plain old fashioned uninitialized pointer to delete.

   These kinds of problems are very hard to locate without some of the code involved...

   Peace!

Thanks for your reply!

To be more precise, i only get the error when i am exiting the main application. My project is a SDI project. When i compile and link in Release mode, there's no problem at all. From what i understand about MFC, when we use the keyword new for allocation purposes, we should use delete in conjunction with it right?

i only used new when i am initializing my form view.i use a pictutre control to reserve a place on my form view for my property sheet(ie. a place holder). my code goes like this:

/********************************************************/
// create and associate the property sheet with
//the "place holder" window
/********************************************************/

CMySheet *pMySheet;<br />
<br />
	CWnd* pPlaceHolder = GetDlgItem(IDC_PLACEHOLDER);<br />
	<br />
	pMySheet = new CMySheet(pPlaceHolder);<br />
<br />
	if (!pMySheet->Create(pPlaceHolder, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 0))<br />
	{<br />
		delete pMySheet;<br />
		pMySheet = NULL;<br />
		return;<br />
	}

// fit the property sheet into the place holder window
// and show it

CRect m_PlaceSheet;<br />
<br />
	GetDlgItem( IDC_PLACEHOLDER )->GetWindowRect( &m_PlaceSheet );<br />
<br />
	ScreenToClient( &m_PlaceSheet );<br />
<br />
	pMySheet->SetWindowPos( NULL, 0, 0, m_PlaceSheet.Width(), m_PlaceSheet.Height(), SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOACTIVATE );

Thanks for any help in advance!!

populate list view in VB from VC++ dll using SendMessage Api

28-Jan-05 13:55

   Are you Attaching another CWnd-based object to one of your windows controls?

   The reason it works in release mode is likely not because the error/problem goes away, it is because there is no diagnostic code to report on it.   There are very few errors that are a true result of the Debug mode of the Compiler/Linker.

   The only thing that jumps out at me is that you are allocating into pMySheet, which is a local variable. That means that you are either really leaking it, or deleting it later in the same function, when it looks like the CMySheet object is supposed to have a longer lifetime. Either way, it looks like that pointer is being mismanaged.

   Peace!

Re: populate list view in VB from VC++ dll using SendMessage Api

27-Jan-05 21:05

Hi,

I am trying to insert items in VB List View control from VC++ dll using SendMessage API. its in the same process and even the handle of list view is proper. I am using this code.. but it does not insert the item ...

TCHAR msgString[512];
TCHAR tempString[128];
wsprintf(tempString, _TEXT(" MsgId: %03d "), message->buffer[8] );
_tcscpy(msgString, tempString );
_tcscat(msgString, _T("sadsadsdsad "));

LVITEMW LvItem;
LvItem.mask=LVIF_TEXT; // Text Style
LvItem.cchTextMax = 256; // Max size of test
LvItem.iItem=0; // choose item
LvItem.iSubItem=0; // Put in first coluom
LvItem.pszText=msgString; // Text to display (can be from a char variable) (Items)

SendMessage(hwndMsgRqst,LVM_INSERTITEM,0,(LPARAM)&LvItem); // Send info to the Listview

I am able to get the item count using LVM_GETITEMCOUNT

Any help is really appreciated

I don’t know how much this will help or not but here is how I accomplished a similar task with a list box. This is a snippet of the real code, just for example sake.

<br />
CPP<br />
#define AddListText(hwnd, txt) \<br />
	( int )SendMessage( ( hwnd ), LB_ADDSTRING, 0, ( LPARAM ) (LPCTSTR) txt)<br />
<br />
<br />
void AddListString(long lhwnd, LPCTSTR sAdd)<br />
{<br />
	HWND hwnd = (HWND) lhwnd;<br />
	AddListText (hwnd, sAdd);<br />
}<br />
<br />
VB<br />
Private Declare Sub AddListString Lib "SCC_DLL.dll" (ByVal lhwnd As Long, ByVal sAdd As String)<br />
<br />
Private Sub cmdAddString_Click()<br />
Dim sText As String<br />
	sText = "Text"<br />
	AddListString List1.hWnd, sText<br />
End Sub<br />

In a few hours I will be in front of my workstation and be able to try something similar with a list view if yea like.

No problem, if you can send me the snippet of code (it will make it easier) that would be great.

I'm no C++ expert / guru. But I do enjoy a challenge.

I can’t guarantee I will get to it this weekend (the Girlfriend has barred me from working on the weekends, something about being bored watching me sit in front of the computer for > 12 hrs)

enjoy the weekend

please find the snippet..

VC++ code:

**************************************************

DLL_EXPORT_VB void __stdcall RegisterLogWindow(HWND hwndMsgLog, HWND hwndMsgRqst )
{
TCHAR msgString[512];
memset(msgString, 0, sizeof (msgString));

SYSTEMTIME st;
GetLocalTime(&st);

wsprintf(tempString, _TEXT(" Dt: %02d:%02d:%04d - %02d:%02d:%02d:%03d "), st.wDay, st.wMonth, st.wYear, st.wHour, st.wMinute, st.wSecond, st.wMilliseconds );

_tcscat(msgString, tempString );

int iItem=SendMessage(hwndMsgRqst,LVM_GETITEMCOUNT,0,0);

//LVITEMW LvItem;
LVITEMW LvItem1;
LvItem1.mask=LVIF_TEXT; // Text Style
LvItem1.cchTextMax = 256; // Max size of test
LvItem1.iItem=iItem ; // choose item
LvItem1.iSubItem=0; // Put in first coluom
LvItem1.pszText= msgString; // Text to display (can be from a char variable) (Items)

int hr = SendMessage(hwndMsgRqst,LVM_INSERTITEM,0,(LPARAM)&LvItem1); // Send info to the Listview

int err = GetLastError() ;

}
**** hr and rr returns 0.... itemcount got is correct
************************************

Sorry Mohamed, I was unable to get it fully working as well. I will keep working on it; it’s an interesting idea.

I kept getting access-denied errors from the list view.

   What are the available error codes after the call fails? Both the return code of the call to SendMessage(...) and the value returned by GetLastError() (note that you have to call GetLastError() right after the call to SendMessage(...)).

   BTW: you are taking "the long way around" to build the contents of msgString...

   Peace!

MX query through NSlookup

28-Jan-05 13:48

   If the call returns successful return/error codes, and the Item Count increases after the call, my guess is that you have a redraw problem.

   Try forcing a redraw of the application/control and see if your item shows up. Also, make sure that column zero has a real width. With a multi-column ListView control, if Column 0 has a width of zero, newly added items with no subitem text will be effectively invisible.

   Peace!
