My senior engineer Implemented offset table procedure concept. Using offset table particular structure variable value is fetched from memory location and whenever structure get updated or modified then obviously offset table get modified or changed.Now days it became big problem for us. my question is whether albert idea is effect than this offset table procedure or any other suggestion is there to implement.

Using an offset value for this is just silly. There's no practical purpose and adds complexity with no benefit.

Is that really needed?

Long year ago my senior engineers designed like that and i can't change those things. now my aim is to findout new way to get value for those structure variable without using offset table... any other choice is there?

200 member variables!
Holy crap! Are they all named as badly as these? Just how is a user supposed to know the relevance of what IS stored at x1[100]?
Apart from that, quite simply your app, which contains the struct instance, lets say it is called strinst, when asked for the value x1[100] just returns strint.x1[100], probably printfed into a string, for display.
==============================
Nothing to say.

But they are not created instant for an structure... instead of that they calculated offset value for each variable which is present in the structure. I dont know why they using such procedure...
|

So you have the memory address, and you know the structure format, just cast the address to a struct pointer and access it as mystrinstptr->x1[100]
If you dont have access to the memory you cant do anything.
==============================
Nothing to say.

Hi,
It sounds to me like you want to do this with the compiler preprocessor. Yes you can do this but it will be very ugly indeed. You will need to build the structs with #define statements and you can retrieve the member names with the #NAME directive[^]. You can get the offset to the struct members with the FIELD_OFFSET macro.
Best Wishes,

I wrote a file using WriteFile, and then I read the file back and used swscanf_s, sort of using swprintf_s backwards thinking that it will just pick up the data and assign it.
So I wrote the file like this
swprintf_s( pzDataBuffer_Project, L"PROJECT: %s; %s; %s; %s; %s; %s;\r\nENDPROJECT\r\n", pzProject.szProject_Name, pzProject.szProject_Type, pzProject.szProject_Path, pzProject.szProject_DomainName, pzProject.szProject_LicenseKey );
To produce this, the file contents, Another line of code create the prefix
Internet Commerce Engine 5 Project File, Format Version 1.00

PROJECT: Dinostone; North American Standard Edition 2012; C:\NASE2012_Projects\Dinostone; www.dinostone.com; B1M6-19M2-MEM0-6L6J; 銁녪;
ENDPROJECT
And then read the file, and used swscanf_s to assign the pointers
iReturnFields = swscanf_s( pzDataBuffer, L"PROJECT: %s; %s; %s; %s; %s; %s;\r\nENDPROJECT\r\n", szProject_Name, szProject_Type, szProject_Path, szProject_DomainName, szProject_LicenseKey )
DWORD dwErrorCode = GetLastError()
The information on msdn was sort of vague,
Question:
Is my format not possible for swscanf_s, to assign the pointers?, or do I just have a syntax error in my format?

Can't you just view the variables using the debugger to see if they contain the proper values?
If there's a syntax error, the compiler should tell you.

I did use the debugger, and it never generated an error, until I did some experimenting and generated an i/o error.
I'm way off base here on implementation, and I'm going to send this code to the trash and start again.

you need to change your file format and also need to change the parsing style. it wont work. swscanf_s function stop reading when it gets a space

Hi,
How can I get the directory
"C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data"
I tried with SHGetSpecialFolderLocation but no result.
|
|
|
|
|
According to this[^], it is no longer supported. Have you tried to use SHGetFolderLocation[^] instead?

SHGetFolderPath(), perhaps.

How are you calling it? What is it returning? What values are you using for hToken and nFolder?

I tried like this :
HRESULT hRes = SHGetSpecialFolderLocation( NULL, CSIDL_PROFILE, &pidl );
if (SUCCEEDED(hRes))
{
SHGetPathFromIDList(pidl, lpPath );
}

What is it returning? Shouldn't you be using CSIDL_APPDATA instead (if you are wanting the Application Data folder)? As has already been suggested, use SHGetFolderLocation(NULL, CSIDL_APPDATA, -1, 0, &pidl) instead.

I'm confused with suggestions given 
Please can you give just one solution which works 
|
|
|
|

Ok, it is solved doing as DavidCrow say :
HRESULT hRes = SHGetFolderLocation(NULL, CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA, HANDLE(-1), 0, &pidl);
Thank you

I've just started a new VC++ Form project. I understand that I can manipulate my forms through events on the generated form header file.
However, for better design, I want to be able to update the form from external controlling objects (for instance when new data is generated in the system at large).
The problem is, in the generated main file, Application::Run( gcnew <formname>() ); means that I can't send any commands through (e.g. changing text on a button) because this is constantly running until the form is closed.
How do you typically deal with this? Am I approaching this in the wrong manner?
Many Thanks in advance for your help.

Is this a C# or managed C++ thing?
