Hey there.

Can someone provide me with a few examples of how to handle exceptions? Below is some code I used in an application. p->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW) is used to display a dialog containing an ActiveX Control. If the control is not registered I should get an exception, but it is not working. I must have something set up wrong. I have many places in my application where I need to do exception handling, thought I should start with this example.

Smile | :)

Jerry

/////Not sure if I need these 2 lines of code???
#include <new>
using std::bad_alloc;

///////
try
{
p->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
}

catch(bad_alloc exception)
{
MessageBox("Data", "Memory Allocation Error", _OK);
}
//////

First off, you really should be catching exceptions by reference, as catching them by value will create two copies, instead of one.

That apart, IIRC, bad_alloc is thrown only when the new operator fails to allocate memory. AFAIK, the CRT that comes with VC++ doesn't do that, it instead returns NULL. Your code is most probably throwing some other exception. If you *really* want to catch all exceptions, your code should look like

try
{
   ...
}
catch(...)
{
   // Some exception occurred.
}

This is not recommended though, I'd suggest figuring out the exact exception thrown and catching it.

I tried catch(...), it didnt catch any exceptions either.
Something else must be wrong with the code.

Thanks,

It depends on compiler settings.

tiling dialogs(urgent)

hello,
just like we can tile the MDI child windows in our application can we write code for tiling the dialog boxes opened in parent dialog boxes?I thought of deriving our child dialog class from CFrameWnd.But then we have to tile them on clicking a menu option which then has to written in OnInitDialog() of CDialogDlgi.e the parent class.
please guide if i am proceeding in proper way?

thanks

I don't believe deriving your child dialog class from CFrameWnd is what you need to do, if it is even possible. CFrameWnd is part of the document/view framework, which requires a lot of support classes and complexity that would get in the way.

I believe you will need to write your own tiling code in your parent class. You might take a look at the following articles on Code Project:

Hi!
I am a college student.I wrote a filter demux the DVB-s mpeg-2 TS.Now it can render more than one audio streams But it can only render one video stream.It will be dead lock when rendering more than one video stream at the same time.
I dont know the reason.
I sincerely wait for the master's help!
please dont laugh at my poor english,I am a chinses student.

I have a question concerning your demultiplexer.
What kind of error corrections did you use?
I've also written a demux, but when there are many bitstream errors, the video and audio playback will get asynchron, although the media samples are all timestamped.

Now to your question:
You should trace where exactly the deadlock occurs (which filter, which routine...).

Don't try it, just do it! Wink | ;-)

Alexander:
I have no error correcttion,because the data source is DVB-S there is few error in the sattelite channle. Do you exactly know the wrong data ? whether you can drop the data,drop the audio and video data at the same time.
how do you process with the two video out put pin ?

I resovled this problem.The sample number of output pin is not enough!
I increased the number from 100 to 4000,and the COutputQueue object's list cache from 10 to 1024*1024.Now everything runs well.

Edit Control Question

Question: In my Edit Control i want the users to input HEX Values (I know they dont except HEX values so I can only use them in a CString as Characters). They would input something like "AA BB". What i want to do is take those 2 values ("AA" being 1 value and "BB" being the other value) and put them into a UINT array. i am just not sure how to go about extracting characters from a string.

Anyone have any suggestions on how I could do this?

Thanks

You can use the function

It seems that a webbrowser control doesn't pass any referer info to a visited website, but does pass browser and version info.

How can I get a webbrowser control (dialog-based app, VC++6)to pass a referer of, say, http://www.mybrowser.com ?

of course you can, just use sprintf to specify the file name.

like this:

for (int i=0; i

Dialog opens properly in winxp, but Freezes in win98se

9-Jul-05 8:44

"MyDlg" is a dialog class derived from CDialog
"pg_price" is a derived CPropertyPage

on pressing a button pg_price(derived from CPropertyPage), domodal is called

void pg_price::OnBUTTON() <br />
{<br />
	MyDlg MyDlg_obj;<br />
	MyDlg_obj.DoModal();<br />
}

OnInitDialog of MyDlg (derived from CDialog):

BOOL MyDlg::OnInitDialog() <br />
{<br />
	CDialog::OnInitDialog();<br />
	return TRUE;  // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control<br />
	              // EXCEPTION: OCX Property Pages should return FALSE<br />
}

now, the problem is that on winxp there isnt any problem. MyDlg_obj.DoModal(); displays the resource of MyDlg

but on win98se, the whole application hangs and become non-responsive upon clicking the button
MyDlg never appeared

so i ran a debugger and found out that the application has no problem running up to "BOOL MyDlg::OnInitDialog()" and returns it without any problem. I hit "f5" again and the application hangs. no assert/buffer overflow problems error messages were given, the whole application simply hangs there. i believe that's because the user interface thread got into something it cant get out of

doing a "step over" on the debugger i got the following
http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/7687/step4em.gif

i really got no idea how this happened
how is it possible that this app works well on winxp but not win98se?
i need that application on win98se platform

using vc++6.0 SP6
win98se/winxp

please assist

however, on winxp, i get this

http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/9697/winxp0ok.jpg

after some research, i discovered that because the button was located on a CPropertySheet and the domodal is launch from it
this CPropertySheet is one of the pages in the tabs area
this tab area is on my main dialog

anyone have problems doing domodal on CPropertySheet ?
how to solve this problem?

Just for grins, give your dialog a parent:

void pg_price::OnBUTTON() <br />
{<br />
MyDlg MyDlg_obj(this);<br />
MyDlg_obj.DoModal();<br />
}

and see if that helps.

I want to export a dialog class from a dll, by using this dialog class, I could create model or modeless dialog in my main project.

Then I need to send messages to mainwnd from the dialog class exported from the already created dll, who can tell me how, or give me some ideas.

Thanks very much.

If you see this text, your browser does not support the OBJECT tag.

Here is some text after the die
