I see that it's saying that it's failing on an ASSERT(FALSE) line. I'd go to the actual file, up a few lines where it says: BOOL bRetCode = FALSE; and put a breakpoint there.

I am using modaless CDialog
What is the or is there a command to update dialog window when you set data with new values? Or do I need to delete the old one and recreate new one?
I am trying to implement so that I can right click roll over objects on the screen and the dialog will update with new information, and dialog would be terminated when right click is released

UpdateData() assuming you are using MFC. Otherwise you'll need to repopulate the controls yourself.

I tried UpdateData() and it didn't work
Although SetWindowText changes the title
|
|
|
|

UpdateData( FALSE ) must work. Any validation rules DDV_xx which fail will prevent updates though.
Have you tried stepping through it in the debugger to see what is happening?

I believe it was just yesterday that Blake Miller correctly suggested using a non-dialog approach. Just use a pop-up child window.

I want to try working with Dialog first(plus I want to learn how to use Dialog). If I really can't do it then I will switch over

Can this function call fail in some configuration of Windows NT 4.0 and later? The docs state that the complementary SetSystemTime call will fail if the user doesn't have the privileges to set the time on a system. I have an application that is failing to return this information. The function is void, so the only real valid check is to check the SYSTEMTIME struct for empty values.
|
|
|
|

It is very hard to believe that GetSystemTime() could fail and I certainly have never seen it. MSDN and Googling don't show anything like this.
It could be worth testing GetLastError() even though doc's don't mention it is relevant. Also try GetLocalTime() and time(NULL).
Maybe your code is clobbering the SYSTEMTIME struct. Are you checking it directly after the call to GetSystemTime() or later on?

Are you passing the SYSTEMTIME structure in correctly?
The structure has to be an [out] parameter. So you need to call the API with the pointer to the structure.
This will NOT work:
////////////////////////////////////////
//Declare a SYSTEMTIME structure
SYSTEMTIME stSystemTime;
//Call GetSystemTime
GetSystemTime(stSystemTime);
////////////////////////////////////////
Instead you should call something like this:
////////////////////////////////////////
//Declare a SYSTEMTIME structure
SYSTEMTIME stSystemTime;
//Call GetSystemTime
GetSystemTime(&stSystemTime);
////////////////////////////////////////
Good Luck,
Robert

Please could someone help me with the Net API :
What I need my application to do is allow the user to type in their username, password and Domain and then using the Net API validate the password with the username and then see if the user is a member of a certain group (A group which I have set up).
Could anyone help me on this subject (Really struggling).
Any sample code (Using C++ MFC/win32) or guide lines would be very much appreciated.
For ever grateful
Regards
Richard
P.S. Thank you for your time!!!! =

Does LogonUserEx() help?

If I create a function in an MFC app that does not reference the class, how can I get it to see any pointers that I have in this function
any point that is placed in this function works:
<br />
void CMyThread::OnClose()<br />
{<br />
<br />
}<br />
any point or variable referecnes in this function will not work
<br />
void OnClose()<br />
{<br />
<br />
}<br />
I know it won't because I'm not referencing my class any more. So how can I get it to work with out referencing my class?
God i hope this make sense
Thanks

If you want the OnClose() function that is not a member of CMyThread to be able to access CMyThread's member variables, those variables would need to be static.

I have another program that has this code snippet in it:
<br />
__declspec(dllexport)int LA_OnSend(char* EmailAddress, char* EmailMessage) <br />
{<br />
AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());<br />
<br />
CLASendMailApp* sendmail = (CLASendMailApp* )AfxGetApp();<br />
if (!sendmail->LoadSettings())<br />
{<br />
Can you tell me what this is doing here?
CLASendMailApp* sendmail = (CLASendMailApp* )AfxGetApp();
Thanks

AfxGetApp returns a pointer to a CWinApp object.
(CLASendMailApp* )AfxGetApp() casts that pointer to a pointer to a CLASendMailApp. that way, any functions called through that pointer will act on your CLASendMailApp application, and not on the CWinApp base class.
why ? CWinApp doesn't have a LoadSettings() member function. CLASendMailApp (hopefully) does.

Okay so if I need to access a function that is in another class that I have I can "cast" it like this? Can I cast down to a certain function in my class?
And in my first example can I cast a pointer to me class in the
void OnClose function?
Thanks

you can only safely cast a pointer like this if the To and From class are realted to each other (ie. if the To class is derived from the From class, or vice versa).
Tom Wright wrote:

you can't cast a class pointer to something that isn't a class. if you need pointers to your class in a function that isn't a member of your class, you'll need to pass a pointer to an object of your class into that function (or maybe make it available as a global variable):
void CMyClass::someFunc()
{
NonMemberFunc(this);
}
void NonMemberFunc(CMyClass *pMyClassPtr)
{
pMyClassPtr->someFunc();
}

So Chris is it possible to redefine a function such as:
<br />
static void CALLBACK TimerProc(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg, UINT_PTR idEvent, DWORD dwTime)<br />
To include CMyClass *pMyClassPtr, so that I would have access to all the objects in CMyClass?
<br />
static void CALLBACK TimerProc(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg, UINT_PTR idEvent, DWORD dwTime)<br />
{<br />
if (idEvent == 1)<br />
{<br />
KillTimer (NULL,idEvent);<br />
CString mySelect;<br />
mySelect.Format("UPDATE EMG3 SET EMG3_STATUS_DATE = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP WHERE EMG3_DEST_ID = '%s'", thdID);<br />
m_pConnection->Execute(_bstr_t(mySelect),NULL, NULL);<br />
SetTimer(NULL,1,m_nHearbeat*1000,NULL);<br />
}<br />
That way i can access thdID and m_pConnection. Is this right?

i think you'd have to make those variables global, for that function to be able to use them.
maybe if you could expand on what you're trying to accomplish, i could give better answers. just pointing out C/C++ syntax errors probably doesn't help you much.

I'm trying to setup a Timer in my UI thread. While doing this I found that the easiest way was to do the SetTimer with the forth parameter being the callback function.
Problem is that I've never really worked with callback function and while working with this particular one I found that i did not have access to m_pconnection pointer and the thdID pointer.
I remembered that someone had helped me with another program that did a casting of a pointer like the one listed at the beginning of the post, but i wasn't sure if this is what I needed to do here and since i didn't really understand what was happening with that line of code I decided to post.
So comming full circle I'm still trying to understand when one needs to cast a pointer and when one needs to pass a pointer.
Heck I just found out how to initialize a char array on the fly (so to speak) using the new operator. I've always seen it used but never understood why until it was explained to me.

if you're doing this in an MFC app, you can just use the OnTimer function to handle this: use the class wizard, if you're using VC6, or change the window/dialog/app properties in VC7, to add a handler for WM_TIMER. that way, the function will be a member of your CWnd and you can use any class functions you want.
the problem with the callback method, in my opinion, is that it doesn't give you a way to pass any custom info into the callback function. some callbacks give you a parameter that you can use for things like pointers. this one requires you to get all the data from global variables.
Tom Wright wrote:

you pass a pointer when you need a pointer to something.
you cast a pointer when the pointer doesn't point to what you need it to point to, but can safely interpreted as if it was pointing to what you need. for example, if you have a pointer to an object of type C, you can cast that pointer to anything that C is derived from; this lets you call functions from the base classes; ex. if class C is derived from class B, you can cast your C* pointer to B* and then call class B's functions. likewise, if you have a C* pointer (a pointer to an object of type C), and you've cast it to a base class of type "B" ( B* pB = (B*)pC; ), you can cast that back up to a "C". but, all this requires that you know what the pointer is really pointing to, and what the class heirarchy looks like.

It is casting the return value of AfxGetApp() from a CWinApp* to a CLASendMailApp* so that the LoadSettings() method can be accessed.
In the past, I've always added this to my app's .h file right below the class declaration so that I did not have so many of those casts staring at me:
#define GetSendMailApp() (((CLASendMailApp*)AfxGetApp())) Then to use it:
CLASendMailApp* sendmail = GetSendMailApp();

David if I were to look this up in the MSDN would it be pointer casting or just casting?
