Re: Calling third party dll Canadidate function not accessible

10-Dec-09 10:30

Hi,

This is my first post on these fourms, so I'll probably screw up something!
Anyway, I'm trying to write a program which interfaces with a third party dll. All I have is the dll. The dll contains a typelib. To start with, I created a Win Console32 app and am compiling using the /CLR trigger. I added the dll as a reference and placed it in the same folder. I can use intelisense to see all of the classes and interfaces. Here is my code:

// COM Test for C++ for real.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "objbase.h"

using namespace xTInstrument;

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{

	//This code complies, but fails at runtime due to an object reference
        //not set to an instance of   an object
	//xTInstrument::IonBeamClass^ ibeam;
	//ibeam->HV->Value = 4;


	//This will generates a compile error "candidate Function(s) not accessible"
	xTInstrument::GisClass^ Gis = gcnew xTInstrument::GisClass(); 
	//Gis->InsertRetractedGISPorts(true); 
	

	return 0;
}

I know for a fact the functions are declared as "Friend" in the orginal dll. The dll I am using is the Interop created by Visual Studio. Can anybody help me?

Cheers,
Shivels

That's C++/CLI, not C++. Maybe you could get an answer if you ask it in the C++/CLI forum[^]

Hi,

I tried using
#import "libxtinstrument.dll" no_namespace rename("Getbject", "xtGetObject")
but when I do, I get 300 errors all of the same 3 types:

error C2504:'XYZ' base class undefined
error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'XYZ'
error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int

Without have .h or .lib file, how can I fix these errors?

#import "libxtinstrument.dll" no_namespace rename("Getbject", "xtGetObject")

I was able to call the functions stored in the dll, but the program keeps failing. Turns out the Class I am trying to call is a "non-creatable" class. How can I find the main "factory" of these classes using ole/com object viewer?

Search in the Registry for the GUIDs of the classes Cool | :cool:

Preventing Windows messages from popping up

14-Dec-09 5:26

Hi, the GUIDS don't show up in the regisrty. Using OLE/COM viewer, the typelib lists the classes as "coclass non-creatable" This looks like the factory model design. Is there a way to locate the "factory" which is responsible for creating the objects?

Hey

I am working on a Windows application using Win32 API's and this application
has got its own formatted Error messages and so we want to prevent any generic
Windows messages to pop up.

It was found that in certain extreme or rare conditions its does pop up
the Windows messages.

Is there a way to completely suppress the Windows error messages?

Thanks in advance

Which error messqge ? You mean that your program crashes and thus displays an error ? I think in that case fixing your application is probably your best option Big Grin | :-D

It's not an application crash message.

The couple of error messages that are being seen are
"Delayed Write Failed" & "Invalid Date & Time".

Anyway to supress these and other probbale Windows messages?

After the error dialog, does your application continue to run? And do you know which is the API call that is causing this error?

Hallo Code Project Members,

I`m Using Visual C++ 6 with Prof-Uis. From Prof-Uis tutorials I declared a class like this:

class CMyClass : public CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog >

It works fine, but I don`t know what I`m doing. Why do I derive CMyClass from 2 classes? What is the difference between

public CExtResizableDialog

and

public CExtNCW &lt; CExtResizableDialog &gt;

Because I don`t know what this kind of Deriving is called, it is difficult to find tutorials about it..

Thank you for your answers!

CExtNCW is a template class.
Read more about it here - C++ Class Templates[^]
There are several template libraries available like ATL, STL etc.

CExtNCW is a template class and CExtResizableDialog is the template parameter. You are only inheriting from one class (the CExtNCW class) but as this class is a template class, you have to specify it's template parameter. I suggest you google for templates in C++ because you first need to understand how it works before being able to understand what the code means.

Doxygen Command Help Required

Anyone now how to emebed tags in Doxygen help eg.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/// <summary>Save XML File</summary>
///
/// <remarks>The XML file generated will have the following layout:
///
/// <results>
/// <count>99</count>
/// </results>
///
/// </remarks>
///
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I've tried <pre>, <code>, <c> and <example> and none of them stop me from getting the following warning:

warning: Warning: Unsupported xml/html tag <results> not found
warning: Warning: Unsupported xml/html tag <count> not found

According to the list here[^] <results> and <count> are not supported. Broadly speaking as was shown by the error messages above.

Steve Thresher10-Dec-09 4:55

10-Dec-09 4:55

You've not understood what I'm trying to acheive. I'm trying to document the layout of the XML file generated by a function which means I need to instruct Doxygen to ignore a block of text by placing it inside a given tag. The problem is I can't find the right tag.
