Nono,
LPTSTR is a Unicode format (wide char) in UNICODE and ANSI when not compiling for UNICODE
LPSTR is always ANSI string (8bit)
LPWSTR is always wide char string(16 bit)
But I used to be confused by these too..
Greetz,
Davy

  You're so right.
But regardless, it seems that something makes his compiler believe that LPSTR is defined as unsigned short *.

It seems like you've defined UNICODE (or _UNICODE, I can't remember the definition for compiling for unicode precisely). If thats the case, then LPSTR translates to unsigned short * instead of char *.
strtok requires char * parameters, if you intended to use unicode strings, you should use wcstok instead.
[EDIT]A GDavy has corrected me, LPSTR should be defined as CHAR * and CHAR should again be defined as char. But if the code you've given us is the same you're using for your embedded version, then somehow LPSTR must be defined as unsigned short *[/EDIT]

Hi,
In a Win32 Application I would like to check if command line parameters
/b /a is provided. The Messagebox show me the parametters like
/b /a but the if condition do not met it alwasy the else statment
that apply.
if ("/b" == szCmdLine || szCmdLine == "/a")
{
MessageBox (NULL, szCmdLine,"met",0);
}
else
{
MessageBox (NULL, szCmdLine,"Not met",0);
}
I did also chcked "//b" == szCmdLine. What I am missing?
Regards.

if szCmdLine contains other parameters besides /a or /b, you will need to do this.
if (szCmdLine.Find("/b") >= 0 || szCmdLine.Find("/a") >= 0)
{
MessageBox (NULL, szCmdLine,"met",0);
}
else
{
MessageBox (NULL, szCmdLine,"Not met",0);
}

Use Paul DiLascia's CCommandLineInfoEx class for this.

Hi,
I've created a win32 app, and it runs perfectly till i've added #include <shellapi.h> for using the systemtray icons.
The trouble is in CreateWindow, now it returns NULL.
I put the include in myapp.cpp and nothing, and I've put it in stdafx.h, neither.
However, if I don't use Shell_NotifyIcon, so I don't need this header, CreateWindow returns a valid value.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Hi,
Our app calls an instance of Word. A custom Toolbar in Word contains a button "Back to App", which will close the word instance and, on Win NT, returns to the app. In Xp however this is not the case. The focus is not necessarely set back to our app.
Can anyone give me a hint how to set the input focus from where it came.
I'm searching in the direction of SetActiveWindow/SetForegroundWindow. (correct?)
tnx for your help.

On XP and an application cannot set itself as the active app, however another app can. So using SetForegroundWindow( YourApp ) from Word should work correctly. I had a similar problem to this 3-4 weeks back. Do a search here on SetForegroundWindow() and you will find that thread and the respones I got.

Hi there
I am receiving asynch serial data successfully using a thread.
But I noticed that the time the data arrives is never the same. It actually arrives at say time (y), then at Time (y+1), (y+2)... until (y+10). Then it jumps back to time (y). The transmission time is accurate always at 100ms intervals.
Can anyone maybe tell me why this is the case AND what I should look for to correct it. Maybe a setting somewhere.
Thanks

Most probably the directory location. Is the file you are reading in the same directory as your app ? Are you loading "myfile.dat" or "L:\Mypath\myfile.dat" ?
When loading manually, the current directory must be your app directory, so it can find the file. Otherwise it is the different programm directory, where your data file is not found.

Well the file in in the same dir,
But if I start this program with a diffrent program I don't find the file and if I debug the program I find the file but it don't connect to the network. But if I start the program manoly it works greate.

What are the error codes/messages you get when the file fails to open?

You are most likely being plagued by absolute vs. relative paths. To verify, specify an absolute path in the program.

Using VC++6
I am reading a value stored in a text field as follows:
First/Last
Want to change it to (reverse the "/"):
First\Last
and store it back
Any help will be greatly appreciated
|
|
|
|
|
CString str="First/Last";
str.Replace("/","\\");
~RaGE();
|
|
|
|

If you use MFC CString, you can use CString::Replace().
e.g.
CString strValue("First/Last");
strValue.Replace("/", "\\"); //this will replace "/" with single backslash "\"
Hope this is help 
Cheers...

Hi all,
I need a dirlistbox and a drivelistbox in visual c++ dialog or some thing like that, so that user can show a dialog box and chose a directory path from my dialog.
Tell me what to do ?
thanks in advance.

The following code will enumerate all the files in the current directory.
CFileFind finder;
BOOL bWorking = finder.FindFile("*.*");
while (bWorking)
{
bWorking = finder.FindNextFile();
myListBox.AddString(finder.GetFileName())
}
or
Use the method CListBox::Dir

Wouldn't using SHBrowseForFolder() be easier?
