just ordinary dialog box with tab control, tree control, button, edit box, etc. I want the dialog box can be resize to smaller size, and I can use the scroll bar to see all of the frame. Sorry for the bad english...but I hope you understand what I mean Smile | :)

thx..

Oh, OK. Well, I'd have thought a CFormView would handle that by itself. There's no painting involved here - your controls all need to be on some sort of control that you can position, otherwise you need to call SetWindowPos on all of them to move them, which is kind of ugly.

Yeah, I guessed that. You need to do what I said as an alternative, get a blank control ( that is, one that gives you a surface, but nothing on it, probably the control base class ), set out all your controls on that, and move it's location using SetWindowPos in response to the scroll bars. So the scroll range for X is the width of your control - the width of the window, and the same for the Y. Then when your scroll event occurs, you set the window position of the control to be the offset of the scroll pos, so if hte X scrollbar is set to 20, then the X position is -20, so the first twenty pixels of the control are to the left of the left edge of the main window.

Hi geeks... I mean guys guys... Laugh | :laugh:

I need to use a very large integer that does not fit in a long. So I attempted using _int64 and the values are at least stored in the declared variable. However if I try to send it to the screen, it gives me this compiler error...

error C2593: 'operator <<' is ambiguous

Can anyone give me a simple explanation and solution? Is there any other place I need to be aware of where I'll run into trouble if using this data type?

Thanks a bunch!!!

operator << is not defined for __int64. Therefore it has to try and cast it to something else ( which is plainly not going to work BTW ), and it can't decide what it should cast it to, hence the operator is ambiguous. You probably have to define your own operator <<, and I guess then any other STL operation you try to do, that is type specific.

Hello,

The __int64 is not supported by the standard, but it is rather compiler specific. The C standard has support for a 64 bit integer: long long. See here[^] for more information.

You always can write the number in hexadecimal in two steps: first write the upper 32 bits and then the lower 32 bits. Smile | :)

Problem with Multiple Views (SDI APplication).

Faheem8228-Jul-05 11:47

28-Jul-05 11:47

Hello all.

As an assignment, I'm trying to design front end for a database prepared in Ms Access using Visual C++. I'm using ODBC.

I'm designing an SDI Application with Multiple Views. The parent view is "Employee" and the child view is details about "core Staff members", if an employee is a Core staff member, clicking the button for "Core Staff" takes you to another view, with details regarding the employee. This child view has a button which takes you back to the parent view, say "Employee View".

Now, the problem is that when I click the "Core Staff" button, I get the new view if the current employee is a core staff member, but the problem is that the new view is "un-clickable" I cant click anything, If I try clicking something the window freezes on me. I can however navigate through the fields using the tab key, or the short cut keys. However, when I select the "EMployee View" button and press enter, I get the message for Invalid View ID, which is supposed to be displayed if the "View doesnt exist".

Here's the code for the "SelectView" function in the CMainFrame class.

[code]
void CMainFrame::SelectView(UINT ViewID)
{
CView* pOldActiveView = GetActiveView();

CView* pNewActiveView = (CView*)GetDlgItem(ViewID);

if(pNewActiveView == NULL)
{
switch(ViewID)
{
case CORE_VIEW:
pNewActiveView = (CView*)new CCoreView;
break;
default:
AfxMessageBox("Invalid View ID");
return;
}

CCreateContext context;
context.m_pCurrentDoc = pOldActiveView->GetDocument();

pNewActiveView->Create(NULL, NULL, 0L, CFrameWnd::rectDefault,this,ViewID,&context);

pNewActiveView->OnInitialUpdate();
}

if(ViewID == CORE_VIEW && ! ((CCoreView*)pNewActiveView)->IsCore())
{
AfxMessageBox("Current Employee is not a Core Staff Member");
return;
}

SetActiveView(pNewActiveView);
pOldActiveView->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
pNewActiveView->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
pOldActiveView->SetDlgCtrlID(m_CurrentViewID);
pNewActiveView->SetDlgCtrlID(AFX_IDW_PANE_FIRST);
m_CurrentViewID = ViewID;

RecalcLayout();
}

[/code]

The code for the Button on the "Employee View" is:

[code]

((CMainFrame*)GetParentFrame())->SelectView(CORE_VIEW);

[/code]

Similarly, the code for the button on the "Core VIew" is:

[code]

((CMainFrame*)GetParentFrame())->SelectView(EMPLOYEE_VIEW);

[/code]

I'm following "Ivor Horton's" "Beginning Visual C++6". Since, the "Parent View" alread exists, GetDlgItem() should return the address of the view, otherwise return Null.

I dont know whats wrong here.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks
and here are the screenies.

What port is GetPeerName returning?

lihin0028-Jul-05 9:21

Say i have a client and server. Server listening at 10.10.10.10 on port 4000. Client connects from 11.11.11.11. Server sends back a message saying:

"You are connected from <ip> on port <port>"

Where having the server use GetPeerName would give the proper ip of 11.11.11.11, but the port will be some other number other than 4000 in my case. So the message to the client would say something like:

"You are connected from 11.11.11.11 on port 3000"

Should GetPeerName be returning 4000 as the port? Or is the port of the client just a random one?

GetPeerName will return the "remote address" column (only a single item of course).

I am starting a project soon and the contact wants to control the record volume settings from within the application. Is there a way to do this with sndvol32 or some other way without using DirectX? He is concerned about file size, that's why he doesn't wish to use DirectX. Thanks.

Using DirectX does not create big binaries at all!

By the way: DirectX does adjust the volume of a single buffer, but not the volume of the system. You can use waveOutSetVolume to set the output volume.

timeout for while loop

28-Jul-05 8:53

Hi,
I am quite new to vc++. I am doing a project in win32. I want to set timeout value for a while loop. I am checking a condition in a while loop. If that condition is not satisfied at all, instead of looping forever I want to set timeout value like 300 msec then exit the while loop. I want to do this with CreateEvent() and waitforsingleobject(), but I dont know how to do it exactly.
Can someone help me with sample code???
Thanks a lot.

You can't create an easy timeout loop that way. What kind of code is running in the loop? There are normally better ways.

Use completion routines and kinda timeout thread, that makes it easier.

That does not work because when there are more than 1 loop the timeout will be 300ms FOR EVERY LOOP, and not for the whole loop.

I don't know if this is a good way to do it but you could try something like:

DWORD t = GetTickCount();
while (1)
{
if ((GetTickCount() - t) > 300)
	break;
}

Hi I am using the library I found here:
http://www.codeproject.com/system/serial.asp
in my program. However, I run into the following problem when I am reading from a comport. (example listener).

I took the code, and created a little function

int readme(CSerial &serial)<br />
{<br />
	LONG    lLastError = ERROR_SUCCESS;<br />
	lLastError = serial.SetMask(CSerial::EEventBreak |<br />

<br />
	// Use 'non-blocking' reads, because we don't know how many bytes<br />
	// will be received. This is normally the most convenient mode<br />
	// (and also the default mode for reading data).<br />
    lLastError = serial.SetupReadTimeouts(CSerial::EReadTimeoutNonblocking);<br />
	if (lLastError != ERROR_SUCCESS)<br />
		return ::ShowError(serial.GetLastError(), _T("Unable to set COM-port read timeout."));<br />
	<br />
	bool fContinue = true;<br />
	do<br />
	{<br />
		// Wait for an event<br />
		lLastError = serial.WaitEvent();<br />
		if (lLastError != ERROR_SUCCESS)<br />
			return ::ShowError(serial.GetLastError(), _T("Unable to wait for a COM-port event."));<br />
<br />
		// Save event<br />
		const CSerial::EEvent eEvent = serial.GetEventType();<br />
<br />

		{<br />
			printf("\n### BREAK received ###\n");<br />

<br />

		{<br />
			// Read data, until there is nothing left<br />
			DWORD dwBytesRead = 0;<br />
			char szBuffer[101];<br />
			do<br />
			{<br />
				// Read data from the COM-port<br />
				lLastError = serial.Read(szBuffer,sizeof(szBuffer)-1,&dwBytesRead);<br />
				if (lLastError != ERROR_SUCCESS)<br />
					return ::ShowError(serial.GetLastError(), _T("Unable to read from COM-port."));<br />
<br />
				if (dwBytesRead > 0)<br />
				{<br />
					// Finalize the data, so it is a valid string<br />
					szBuffer[dwBytesRead] = '\0';<br />
<br />
					// Display the data<br />
					printf("%s|", szBuffer);<br />
					<br />
					// Check if EOF (CTRL+'[') has been specified<br />
					if (strchr(szBuffer,EOF_Char))<br />
						fContinue = false;<br />
				}<br />
			}<br />
		    while (dwBytesRead == sizeof(szBuffer)-1);<br />
		}<br />
	}<br />
	while (fContinue);<br />
	serial.Close();<br />
	lLastError = serial.Open(_T("COM1"),0,0,false);<br />
	if (lLastError != ERROR_SUCCESS)<br />
		return ::ShowError(serial.GetLastError(), _T("Unable to open COM-port"));<br />
<br />
    // Setup the serial port (9600,8N1, which is the default setting)<br />
    lLastError = serial.Setup(CSerial::EBaud38400,CSerial::EData8,CSerial::EParNone,CSerial::EStop1);<br />
	if (lLastError != ERROR_SUCCESS)<br />
		return ::ShowError(serial.GetLastError(), _T("Unable to set COM-port setting"));<br />
	return 0;<br />
}

then, what I do is following:

int __cdecl _tmain (int /*argc*/, char** /*argv*/)<br />
{<br />
    CSerial serial;<br />
	LONG    lLastError = ERROR_SUCCESS;<br />
<br />
    // Attempt to open the serial port (COM1)<br />
    lLastError = serial.Open(_T("COM1"),0,0,false);<br />
	if (lLastError != ERROR_SUCCESS)<br />
		return ::ShowError(serial.GetLastError(), _T("Unable to open COM-port"));<br />
<br />
    // Setup the serial port (9600,8N1, which is the default setting)<br />
    lLastError = serial.Setup(CSerial::EBaud38400,CSerial::EData8,CSerial::EParNone,CSerial::EStop1);<br />
	if (lLastError != ERROR_SUCCESS)<br />
		return ::ShowError(serial.GetLastError(), _T("Unable to set COM-port setting"));<br />
<br />
    // Register only for the receive event<br />
    <br />
<br />
    // Keep reading data, until an EOF (CTRL-Z) has been received<br />
<br />
	//lLastError = serial.Write("\n");<br />
	//Sleep(1000);<br />
lLastError = serial.Write("\nwhoami\n");<br />
int r;<br />
//r = readme(serial);<br />
if (lLastError != ERROR_SUCCESS)<br />
		return ::ShowError(serial.GetLastError(), _T("Error sending a return"));<br />
lLastError = serial.Write("\nwhoami\n");<br />
		 <br />
r = readme(serial);<br />
if (lLastError != ERROR_SUCCESS)<br />
		return ::ShowError(serial.GetLastError(), _T("Error sending a return"));<br />
<br />
		//r = readme(serial);<br />
<br />
		//lLastError = serial.Write("\nwhoami\n");<br />
if (lLastError != ERROR_SUCCESS)<br />
		return ::ShowError(serial.GetLastError(), _T("Error sending a return"));<br />
<br />
    // Close the port again<br />
    serial.Close();<br />
    return 0;<br />
}

ok when the first is commented out, I see the results of both functions. but when the first readme is there, it only reads up to that point, and goes no further.

why is that so? I would like to read information step by step, as it needs to processed.

thanks alot for any help
