its suppose to give this back

return ScoUniSetRelay(relay,0);// for each relay the next
return ScoUniSetRelay(relay,0);// Number untill 25 including 25
return ScoUniSetRelay(relay,0);//
return ScoUniSetRelay(relay,0);
return ScoUniSetRelay(relay,0);
return ScoUniSetRelay(relay,0);

thats y i wanted return in it the Machine responses to those commands.
if it gives out ScoUniSetRelay(15,0) relay 15 will turn off. i jsut wanted a collective command to turn all 0-25 off including 0

PS: Suppose to give all tha back for the robo to set all the Relay back to off. ScoUniSetRelay(relay,0) 0=off relay for which one.

I used CD MSDN

Hi folks..

Is there a way to read an exe file's version info, icon etc programatically
using C/C++ ?
e.g How do we read notepad.exe's version info via C/C++ calls?
thanks in advance..

Thanks man..

Nope, you have to use these api for Programmatically changing resource in other file :-
BeginUpdateResource,UpdateResource and EndUpdateResource.

And Here is article relating to above Api's

Convert path with spaces

Hi,

There has to be a library function that does this? I need to convert a path from say:
C:¥Program Files¥Mozilla Firefox¥firefox.exe
to
C:¥¥"Program Files"¥¥"Mozilla Firefox"¥¥firefox.exe

The reason is I need to pass the full path name to _spawnl

I wrote a simple function to do this, but is there a library function that already does this?

Thanks in advance.

tsss,

no need to do this D'Oh! | :doh:

the strings using doubles \\ are because when you code, the single \ is used as the escape characters.

but if you get the path from say an edit box, the \ (written alone) are in the same format.

in brief, you need double back-slashes only in design/coding time...

You know, it's really weird, but with _spawnl I had to do this for it to work otherwise I got all these weird errors.

Anyway, I have just found the wonderful function CreateProcess().

Thanks!

toxcct29-Jun-05 1:22

29-Jun-05 1:22

but where did the string you were passing to _spawnl() come from ?

your source code ? or was it an entry the user passed to the program ?

anyway, you can use - for example - this functions :

CString strPath;
 
<font color=green>//strPath been filled here, with single back-slashes...</font>
 
strPath.Replace(<font color=gray>"\\"</font>, <font color=gray>"\\\\"</font>);    <font color=green>// Replaces every \ with \\</font>

have you tried putting the entire path inside double quotes ?

csPath = "\"C:\\what ever\\file.exe\"";

just a thought.. don't know if it'll work or not

Thanks for the answers everyone. I moved to using CreateProcess() which just accepts a path like:
CString path = _T("\"c:\\path with spaces\\file.exe\"");

with _spawnl() I had to put quotes around every path element with spaces in it like so:
CString path = _T("c:\\\"path with spaces\"\\file.exe");

see if SetCapture[^] solves your problem, or else check with hooks[^] if they help.

If you're already drawing a rectangle on the desktop when your app is minimized, then you already have a solution.

Otherwise you could write a system-wide mouse hook.

opening word and passing strings to a word template doc

Hi,

I was wondering if any of you know how to open microsoft word in C++? i need to pass strings out to a template word document to fill in.

Much thanks,
(john.parr@logicacmg.com)

I know the VB script method:

'Used to open word and populate CD label values in a word template'
Dim oWordApp
Dim oWordDoc
Set oWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
If oWordApp Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Couldn't start Word."
Else
oWordApp.visible =true
Set oDoc = oWordApp.Documents.Add("C:\cdtemplate.dot")
with oDoc
.bookmarks("mainTitle1").Range.text="HELLO"
.bookmarks("subTitle1").Range.text="TEST_DATA, PLAN_TEST - 393"
End If

You'll need to use automation. Make a search on the MSDN site (here[^]) about the subject Word automation.

I think once you get the object, the methods will be the same as in VB.

Shucks, assuming you used the EnumPrinters function you are already halfway there!

PRINTER_INFO_2 and PRINTER_INFO_5 have a field that already tells you this:

pPortName
Pointer to a null-terminated string that identifies the port(s) used to transmit data to the printer. If a printer is connected to more than one port, the names of each port must be separated by commas (for example, "LPT1:,LPT2:,LPT3:").
Windows 95/98/Me: This member can specify only one port because multiple ports per printer are not supported.

I think you forgot to include the header file where stringArray is declared in DisplayString.cpp
