Hi,

I have an executable being invoked from a VC++ code through ShellExecute. After the completing of this executable, I have got a list of jobs to be performed in a sequence.
But when I run this application, ShellExecute will create a different shell and execute the exe (which is as expected) and the list of jobs will also be executed before the completion of the execution of my exe.

eg.
ShellExecute(GetSafeHwnd(), "open", print.exe, params, NULL, SW_HIDE);
task1
task2
task3

I want print.exe to execute first and then go execute task1, task2, task3 in a sequence.

I want to know whether we have any synchronization method which can be invoked just before task1 so that the control will flow in a sequence.

print.exe is executed only thro' ShellExecute().
Either a system() call, WinExec() etc will not work.
Please help me out.

Thanks,
Prashant

Use ShellExecuteEx, set the flag member to SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS to get the process handle and use WaitForSingleObject on that handle.

main isn't returning a value; there is no return statement!

No it won't, except by chance of register values. If you want a function to return a value in C/C++, you have to use the keyword return.

hey,
don't confuse an inline woth a macro. An inline functions stays a function. when the docs say the compiler will extend the inline, first, it is not an obligation (it does it only if the function is not very complicated), second, it does NOT copy the content of the function at the calling, it makes an adaptation.

the function :
<font style="color:blue;">inline int</font> my_sum_func(<font style="color:blue;">int </font>iParam1, <font style="color:blue;">int</font> iParam2) {
    return (iParam1 + iParam2);    <font style="color:green;">// Note the return here !</font>
}
 
the calling :
<font style="color:blue;">void</font> main (<font style="color:blue;">void</font>) {
    <font style="color:blue;">int</font> iSumResult = my_sum_func(5, 3);
}
<font style="color:green;">// Note also that there is no return statement in the main function, and it goes same way</font>

the compiler will extend such code like this :

<font style="color:blue;">void</font> main (<font style="color:blue;">void</font>) {
    <font style="color:blue;">int</font> iSumResult = (5 + 3);
}

are you now convinced ?

!!! : Don't forget : the compiler extends inlines functions only if it can, that is not an obligation to it !

Problem with std::map insert

I have a application that inserts a CString and CList in a std::map;

In .h file

typedef CList<csplfiletsinfo*, csplfiletsinfo*=""> SplFileTSInfoList;
typedef std::map<cstring, splfiletsinfolist*=""> tagSplFileInfoMap;

tagSplFileInfoMap m_SplFileInfoMap;
In .cpp file

//A vrialble of type SplFileTSInfoList
SplFileTSInfoList *l_SplFileTSInfoList;

//Insert the Key and the List in to the Map
m_SplFileInfoMap.insert(f_crstrUserID,l_SplFileTSInfoList);

But when I compile this I get an error.

error C2664: 'std::_Tree<_Traits>::iterator std::_Tree<_Traits>::insert(std::_Tree<_Traits>::iterator,const std::_Tree<_Traits>::value_type &)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'CString' to 'std::_Tree<_Traits>::iterator'

Well, I guess you would like to map a string to a CList.
If yes, use this:

<br />
typedef CList SplFileTSInfoList;<br />
typedef std::map< CString, SplFileTSInfoList > tagSplFileInfoMap;<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
m_SplFileInfoMap.insert( tagSplFileInfoMap::value_type( f_crstrUserID, l_SplFileTSInfoList ) );<br />
<br />

Your error is because you aren't calling insert properly. I would guess (though it's hard to tell from your code) that you will want to try

<br />
m_SplFileInfoMap.insert(make_pair(f_crstrUserID, l_SplFileTSInfoList));<br />

Try

m_SplFileInfoMap.insert(std::make_pair(f_crstrUserID,l_SplFileTSInfoList));

There are other idioms for inserting into maps, I suggest reading around a bit.

Win binaries and UNIX

I wrote a C++ program the I run on a NT machine that writes structures to a binary file. I then move the binary file to a Unxi machine and I can't read the files correctly.

I am swaping the bytes, is this all that I need to do?

Thanks for ANY help.

Check the byte alignment. It is possible that the data is not written to the offset that you expect.

It really depends on the architechture of each of the machines -- they might both be Little Endian, Big Endian, or a combination of the two. That is to say, you might not need to swap the bytes at all -- doing so could be what's giving you trouble.

If at all possible, try using the ntohs() and ntohl() functions to ensure you get your data correctly on any architecture.

Also check the struct packing on both compilers, they need to be the same. MSVC defaults to 8 byte alignment, you can change it with #pragma pack

Depending on the machine architecture, and that the sizes of similar data types are the same byte length, I have seen issues where machines are not "byte" swapped but are "word" swapped. In those cases, it was every set of two-bytes that needed to be swapped with the next set of two-bytes. This is different than big/little-endian swapping.

If you are writing floating point values into the file, check that the NT format and the UNIX format are the same. NT probably uses the IEEE floating point format and some non-PC UNIX machines (and some hardware items) use a DEC format. This means that the meaning of the bits within a 4-byte floating point word are different ... different size mantissa, exponent, placement of sign bit, etc. I have had to re-align floating point bits between machines.

Creating a CToolbarCtrl

Hi !

I'm implementing into my project a CToolBarCtrl control. When I call the Create function, it doesn't matter the CRect that I set up because it always draws it on the top or bottom of the window (depends on the property that you set up), but I need to draw it into a CRect like floating into the window.

Could you help me please ?? If you could paste a very little example... thank you !!

Thanks in advance.
