Sorry Chris - I copied out part of the code incorrectly here is what it should have been - Thanks Jeremy
BSTR __stdcall SomeFunction(LPSTR cSPC)
CHAR cTheString [255];
BSTR bResult;
UINT iStringsLength=0;
strcpy(cTheString,"Absolute Return");
iStringsLength = strlen(cTheString);
bResult = SysAllocStringByteLen(cTheString,iStringsLength);
return bResult;
}

I have an application where some structures are packed. Does anyone know what the advantage is in packing a structure, why it is used, pros/cons, etc.?
Thanks,
Jerry

Pros: Uses less memory / disk space
Cons: More confusing to work with

A packed structure saves memory at the cost of less-efficient code. Some CPU's access memory more efficiently on 4, 8, or 16 byte boundaries. Struct's packed on those boundaries can be accessed more efficiently.
If you need your program to process an existing data stream, you may have to set the structure packing to match, so that your compiler doesn't add filler bytes between structure members. For example, suppose the following is the form of a network message:
struct Message {
unsigned short Length;
char Data[128];
};If the compiler's default packing is 4, you could miss the first two characters of the data, since it would add two filler bytes following the Length member in order to align the Data member on a four byte boundary.

The project I code for is a cad software.. in which I have a dilog box dlgmain
--------------------------------------|
Dlgmain(title bar)----------------|
--------------------------------------|
-------\--------\---------------------|
TAB1-\TAB2-\--------------------|
---------\---------\------------------|
(*)radio1--------|------------------|
-------------------|-<-button1>---|
-------------------|------------------|
#<button1-->--|-----------------|
-------------------|------------------|
___________ |------------------|
-------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------|
% represents space (nothing ness)
Now I will explain the figure up there , the button1 with a # symbol before was in
the tab control , doing a specific functionality of looking up the constraints like radio button etc and get to the drawing in the window behind this dlg(obviosly i could not draw that), and do the operation and get back or complete.., now I have taken that button from there to the dlgmain control , which has shifted its class , now I want to shift the button 9 so that it is available for all tabs) and have the same functionality ,
Now the real problem is the code for #button1 is in Tab.cpp (tab class) , which is obviosly and afx_msg protected and non-static , so not accessible to any other class's member functions , so even if I create a public member function with that code and try to access that it gets accessed but does not do anything (and forget about what it used to do earlier)..
I tried to get the data which it is trying to execute and then use that data to execute new buton1 which is getting clumpsy and almost writing the entire tab functionalities into this class ,
if I use inheritance , both are derived from the same class CDialog,, so I don't know how to make it virtual and stuff , i tried and failed
so anyone can sort this out that would be really really great of you
If you think this post is not at all understandable (that is because of the company policy I cannot take screen shots and send ) ..
Thank you if you went through the whole thing

Hi all,i have a string,and now i really want to check whether it is a float or not. And how to know a number is a float or an integer?
Can you have me guy?Thanks in advance!
|
|

|

you could test if ::floor(number) == number, which would mean that even truncated, you number remaids the same (so, is integer)...

Thank you,but if i have a string,i.e : "jry1924",how to check whether it is a number or not?
I tried using function atof but if your string is not a number,it returns 0.
Help me pls!

The only verification that you can do is check if there's a , or . (depending on how you represent floating points numbers ) in the string, between 2 numbers, if it's the case, you can deduce it's a float.
for exemaple
CString sNumber ( "123.123" );
could/would be a float.
but
CString sNumber ( "123123" );
can either be an integer or a float.
or you could use atof and related functions, or maybe sprintf, check the documentation of those functions.

however, you also have to test, even if there is a , or a ., if the string is a valid number.
consider the string "3..2.4" ... not really a number isn't it ?

toxcct is rit or u can check it this way also
std::string str = "123.45";
int pos = str.find(".");
if(pos == -1)
cout<<"It's int"<

Hi,
Recently, one of our customers reported a strange problem with our software. It happened so that due to some problem in the power to the computer, the power supply (SMPS) of the PC got damaged. After rectifying the fault, he started using our software, and reported that our application crashes at various locations where it worked fine before. When I check the exception being raised, it says float point division by zero exception. Now all of sudden at various places in my code where I use division (for e.g., progress bars) the application fails there.
Could anyone suggest what could have gone wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Krishnan

Definately sounds like a hardware problem,
have a quick read of this[^],

How can I constrain the mouse movement to a rectangle? I remember there is a windows function for that but I do not know it.
Thank you !

In a project I am working on I am using a legacy DLL. I have created an MFC Dll project that is using MFC as a shared DLL and is also using the legacy DLL. The project compiles fine. Then I created a Console application to use the DLL and an assertion "Debug Assertion Failed" in the file: "afxwin1.inl" was thrown. When running the same Dll from an MFC Windows application the assertion doesn't appear. How can I overcome this problem?

What line fired the assertion?

The line 19 fired the Assertion

Which indicates that AfxGetInstanceHandle() is being (indirectly) called but afxCurrentInstanceHandle is NULL. Are you using AFX_MODULE_STATE?

I don't know what is AFX_MODULE_STATE.
1. Can you explain what is it?
2. How can I find out if I am using it?

Search the .h and .cpp files used in your project.

Hi,
I'm trying to have a server application with listening socket on a defined port(e.g. 6000). The client application connects to the server on port 6000, and the server starts a new thread to deal with the client by creating a new socket also associated with port 6000. So what I want to happen is when the server gets a UDP on port 6000 if it is from the client then the socket in the spawned thread is used. If it is not from the original client then a new thread is spawned. Is this possible?
Thanks

No, I'm afraid you cant do this with datagram (UDP) sockets. you can do this with stream (tcp) sockets, by calling the accept() function, this will give you a new socket per connection, these sockets can then be passed to separate threads for processing.
The only way to do what you want is to have a single loop receiving packets with the recvfrom() function, this will return the address of the sender of the packet. then for each client, have a queue of that you put that packet into, have then a thread for each cleint that reads the next packet from the respective queue and processes it. Each thread can have a copy of the original socket handle so that they can send to their respective clients.
hope this helps.
