It's not necessary when you use control variables (e.g., CDateTimeCtrl instead of CTime).

CAsyncSocket Prob

Hi,

I am Using VC++6.0. I created a little demo Proggy, that contains a Server and a Client Class, derived from CAsyncSocket and everything works fine so far.

But now I transferred the client class into another App and it doesn't work.

I have this kind of code:

<br />
CMyAsnycClient Client<br />
<br />
Client.Create();<br />
Client.Connect("127.0.0.1", 23);<br />

My Test Proggy Server Gets the
OnAccept(),
and calls
Server.Accept(AcceptedSocket);

Everything fine so far.

But now my Client should get
OnConnect()
and it doesn't, where it does in my Test Proggy. Where could be a difference, when I use the same class and the same pieces of code?

Greetings

The client has to call Connect() before it will receive an OnConnect()

It calls connect(), and I wrote it in my example

What does connect return?

That's it? That's all your going to post? I can't believe I am even bothering to respond to this nonsense.

Are you aware that return values have a purpose? That in most cases they hide the meaning and explanation of the return value in the documentation[^]

I strongly suggest you use the documentation rather than guessing and posting questions in forums.

Sorry, I mixed up the meaning of the remark, i understood it the way that if the function returns 0 it was successful

Ah, that will happen. I have a small list of number one rules. One of them is:

Always suspect that "I" made a mistake. This rule causes you to check and recheck your work, including reading documentation, before taking off on a wild goose chase.

Good luck.

read only folder on Windows

Sure I know these, but I oversaw one single "!" and then mixed up the meaning of 0

Hello everyone,

In my application I need to create a folder and make it read only to test whether my application could work with read only media.

I have tried to set the property of a folder to read only (right click the mouse and make Read Only property enabled), but I find I still can create file into this folder.

How to make a folder truly read only on Windows (e.g. can not create file into the folder)?

Both programming ways and non-programming ways are appreciated. I am using Windows XP SP2.

thanks in advance,
George

You'll need to step into the world of ACEs and ACLs.

Thanks DavidCrow,

Any advice to some learning resources? I need to make some folder read only -- not allowing creating new files into the folder. Either programming way or non-programming way is ok.

regards,
George

Thanks

I have read the resources,

AddAce API

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa374970.aspx[^]

Sample code

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa379608.aspx[^]

But I do not find a straight forward sample (a couple of lines) related to how to change ACE of a directory. The above sample is too long and I have not found anything related to directory resource.

Do you have a more clear and simple sample about ACE for a directory? Smile | :)

regards,
George

It's not a simple subject hence you will not find simple examples. Some things just cannot be done in five lines of code.

Well.. if both programming and non-programming ways are welcome... why not writing the folder on a CD/DVD (i suggest multisession) and then try accessing it with your application. Or on a diskette, with the lock on..

George_George5-Nov-07 17:59

5-Nov-07 17:59

Thanks shpid3r,

It is better if we could have hard disk to simulate the read only function. Any ideas?

About the solution of using CD/DVD, each time I changed the data, I need to record a new CD/DVD, and the cost is too high;

About the diskette, I do not have any reader at hand, and my machines are modern -- do not have such diskette interface. Smile | :)

George

Hello again!

Well then, if by hardware means making stuff read only isn`t possible, i suggest trying with a memory stick that has the possibility to lock it (similar to a diskette).

Anyway, I've searched about your problem and found out:

"(...)It's greyed out because folders generally can't be read-only. It's greyed out because the read-only property of a folder either makes all files in the folder read-only, or not read-only."
(a discussion on why a lad couldn`t uncheck a read only property of a folder)

I`ve seen that read only folders was a problem in XP SP1, fixed in SP2. Some explanation on this topic is provided on Microsoft's Site. It's a workaround that problem to fix it. Maybe you can do the reverse of that "fixing" and succeed in what you need.

Please let us know what's new!

Regards,
Shpid3r

Thanks Shpid3r,

I have tried,

attrib +r +s <folder name="">

then I tried that I still can create new files into the folder. I think read only concept of Windows folder does not mean we can not create new files into the read only folder. Right?

regards,
George

yes, you might be ignoring me... well, if you don't answer, i'm going to ask Maunder to take action against you (at least, part of you - i'm sure you know which).
